nature, and name of the office, but the two
farmer candidates Sartor and Greer thought
otherwise, claiming that it was not necessary
to have lawyer, and that if they should
have legal advice, and pay their money for
it, it was nobody's business. All talked
strongly for their profession or occupation,
in regard to holding the Office, and "spar-
red each other little, but good aaturedly.

dailics, he philosophers at some length on
the state of politics and gives some interest
ing history as well, lie says that lie is
reformcr and will always be- but that he will
not work with the ring that now holds the
political reins. Says that Senator lrby has
betrayed the Reform party played "loo
leo" on Governor Tillman, and fixed up the

some severe criticism of Tillman in the form
of very bitter irony, and openly dcnounces
lrby, Wilson aud CAN'T ct 1T omnt.
But he says that its Il mighty good thing
to wait upon the Lord, and he is going 10

TIE war between Japan ami China SHOWS
no signs of abatement. Each country has
borrowed largely for the expense of carry
ing on the war and the zeal on both sides
seems to be about equal. Heavy skirmish-
ing has been going on Of late but there
has been no decisive action as yet. 1t is
quite probable that Wei.llci-Wci the Gibral-
Ia Of China which has been considered i'm
pregnible by the Chinese, will be attacked
by the japanese. japanese gun boats have
surprised the Chinese very much by passing

though, that an attack will be made both by
