NEED S EXPLAINING

Candidate Martin must have gradual
ed from Chicago's Republican school of
practical politics. 1t is said he has al
ready secured the aid and influence of
the saloon and dive element, and he is
now working, but not without hope, TO
secure the influence and cooperation of
the Ministerial union. 1t is known that
several members of the union are strong
Martin partisans. and that they will not
only swing the ministers, but their con-
gregations as well, over to the support
of the water-railway combines candi-
date if they can.
Ministerial union saloon railway
water company makes a queer combina-
ton. but the necessity for electing Mar
tin is great. The water company wants
Martin elected so that the settlement"
which the Times talks about may be
settled right" The railway company
wants Martin because its friend the
water company does, besides there are a
few things it wants for itself. The dives
want Martin elected SO that the field of
their going and coming will not be
hedged about with the vigilance of med
dlesome policemen. The saloons want
Martin elected so they will not be obliged
to pull their blinds down or provide back
entrances on Sundays, but what under
the shining sun the Ministerial union
wants Martin elected for is as unfathom-
able as the mysteries of Isis.
Personally, Mr.. Martin is supposed to
stand well in the community but even
his best friends must admit that his
anxiety to be mayor has carried him too
far out into the ocean of wickedne is
where he consorts with saloons and
dives for votes. AS to the WATERFALL

A FIELD STORY.

A few years ago the late Eugene Field
and Stanley Waterloo went duck hunt
ing on Murdoch lake near st. Louis
ducks were rather scarce and very shy
and the two hunters spent the day with
out overburdening their game bags At
length they decided to separate, in the
nope that each might drive the ducks
within range of the other. Waterloo
padded up the lake and Field went
down.
Late in the afternoon Waterloo bang
ed away at flock of mallards and
brought one down. The wounded duck
however was not seriously disable
and before it could be bagged rose and
went wabbling down the lake toward
Field and dropped within easy range of
the poets gun among number of tame
ducks which evidently belonged to a
neighboring farmhouse.
tleld rested his gun across the bow of
his boat and let both barrels go. The
mallard went flying away; the tame
ducks set up a loud quacking and pad
died ashore-all but one.
One of the farmers pets had received its
quietus.
Ihe farmer himself didn't like it ,and
after indulging in certain emphatic re-
marks well calculated to impress the
erring NimrOd with the enormity of his
offense began throwing stones and in
viting him to come ashore and fight
Field padded out of stones throw, came
to anchor out of range and began to par
ley.
The farmer wanted dollar for the
duck
How do you figure that out?" quer-
led the poet.
DO you mean to deny that you killed
my duck?" demanded the granger.
That's true enough" said Field,
but where does the responsibility real
ly belong?"
Il don't understand you.'

ceps criminis-that's what it was.''

same
We'll, now, see here" insisted Field;
my good man you must acknowledge
| that your water fowl was at least guilty
, of contributory negligence. Instead Of
| keeping away from me while l was gun

liberately invited death by getting right

TRANQUILITY NEEDED.

There can be no doubt that the pres
ent hearts desire of the great majority,
if not of nine-tenths, of the American
people. is for a period Of rest and tram
qullity from all disturbances at home
and abroad calculated to interfere with
the steady revival and orderly progress
of industry and business. What most
men desire is a respite and a breath
ing spell from all fictitious and artifi-
cal agitation. We believe that all un-
necessary and undue agitation in con-
gress and out of it, even in regard to
schemes of domestic legislation, such
as would result in any sudden or vio-
lent changes of the tariff. is something
to be deprecated, though not more So
perhaps than any hasty or ill-consider-
ed action in regard to foreign affairs
which have the effect of involving the
country in War.-Baltimore Sun.

1t looks to me like clear case OF

death. l suppose | ought to charge you

THE BUSINESS SITUATION

Mr. Hanna's advance agent of prosper
of movement which was promised before
the election, nor does confidence" hast
en- to fasten its grip on the heart and
mind of man. To be sure, great many
industries have started up, and a good
many thousand additional workingmen
have found employment, but is there
any more confidence in the immediate
future than there was month ago?
Undoubtedly business men are less timid
than they were during the campaign,
and so is capital very much more will
terprises, but all that sort of thing has
obtained Immediately before and i'm
mediately after every presidential cleo
tion for more than sixty years.
1t is true, as we have said, large
number of manufacturing concerns have
started their machinery to grinding out
goods and wares in very much larger
quantities than during the few months
preceding the election, but let us not be
deceived as to the cause-let us not make
the mistake of attributing it all to the
election of Mr.. Mckinley The plain
truth of the matter is. for three months
prior to the election hundreds of indus
tries were either shut down altogether
or the output greatly restricted, and
when November 3 came, the goods and
wares markets were very bare. The
great activity that is now observed
among the mills and factories is to man.
ufacture what should have been manu-
factured in the last half of August and
in September and October, and it does
not in any sense indicate the revival of
business that some would have the coun-
try believe.
There is more confidence in the gener-
al business situation than there was
. while ago, and it is entirely safe for
business men to go ahead with the be-
lief that there will be a steady expan-
sion in the requirements of the people
for merchandise. From every stand
point the outlook is favorable, but thanks
are due to the man in the moon quite as
much as they are due Mr.. Mckinley for
brighter prospects. The advance to better
conditions will be slow and conserva-
tive, however, as it should be, for it is
not yet definitely known that the senate
will be able to defeat the purpose of the
Industrial trusts and monopolies to have
congress enact a high protection tariff.
If such a schedule of customs duties as
Hanna and company will insist upon
having is made the law of the land, there
will be prosperity for the few at the ex-
pense of the many.
But. in any event, the hard times which
Harrison's administration planted the
seed of, and which blossomed in 1898
have spent their force and the country

and if it were known beyond doubt
that the present tariff law would not be
materially changed, there is no doubt

MINORITY PRESIDENTS.

The recent election might have been
carried for Bryan. it is said. by a change
of about $4,000 votes in some of the
close states. This shows that it is pos
sible under our systeneof elections that
a man can be chosen to the presidency
when the popular vote is Overwhelmingly
against him. Such condition is surely
not in accordance with the Democratic
designs of our constitution. There may
come time under this system when the
will of the people will be overwhelmingly
thwarted. 1t ought not to be possible
under Republican institutiIC for aGy
man to be president who has not re-
ceived a larger number of votes than
any other man. Our present system
of eleoting presidents is not by any
means, in actual practice, what it was
in the theory of the trainers of the con-
stitution -RoStop GlOhe

NEGRO VOTING POWER.

The last election in its overwhelming
triumph over sectionalism was another
step in diminishing the Importance of
the negro as voter AS the distance of
time from the war increases the black
man is becoming less and less an object
of political solicitude. When the Cay ar
rives when it shall be thoroughly under
stood that all danger from the negro
domination is passed, the race prob
lem,' of which so much has been made
will be solved. 1t is being solved now
for more and more there is a tendency
to consider the negro apart from his
right of uffrage.-Louisville Courier

WOMAN's SUFFRAGE IN IDAHO.

1t is held in Idaho that the womans 5
suffrage amendment to the state consti
tuition IS defeated because while it re-
ceived d ma ajority of the votes cast on the
question it did not receive a majority
vote cast at the election. 1t would seem
that this is straining point as the same
rule might be applied to the election of
individuals to office who, through pc
culiarties of the ticket, might have run
behind the total vote. 1t is more than
probable that the amendments to the
Texas constitution are in the same
plight as thousands of ballots We're
counted on which no notice was taken of

You know I have always been a free

more keenly by the laboring man.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22-The silver Re
non of Utah and Congressman Hartman
and Shafroth, were at Democratic ma
tional headquarters today, comforting
with Chairman Jones.
One of the subjects discussed was the
Idaho situation. The silver Republi-
cans and Senator Jones are in accord
as to affording all the Democratic as
sistance possible to Senator Dubois to
insure his return to the senate.
The calling of the silver Republican
convention of Idaho to meet again is
taken to mean that an agreement has
been reached to either reconstruct or
take down altogether the silver Repubi
can state ticket in return for the fus-
ionists, the Democrats and Populists,
withdrawing the anti-Dubois resolution,
which was adopted by their conven-
ton The fusion state ticket will then
be the only one in the field except the
Mckinley Republican, and the way will
be made es clear as possible for re-
electing Senator Dubois. The silver Re
publicans and fusionists have Bryan
electors.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 22.-John
Daniels, the wealthiest man in Guthrie,
Oklahoma, committed suicide at his
home at o'clock tonight by shooting
himself through the heart in the pres
ence of his wife.
Daniels went to Guthrie from Lin
coin, Neb., four years ago. He was
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars. His affairs were in excellent con-
diEion and his domestic life was happy.
During the past summer his wife has
been very i'll with typhoid fever Two
weeks ago, his son was stricken with
the same disease, and for several days
Mr.. Daniels has been threatened with
fever. 1t is supposed that mental de-
rangernent from long Watching and ap-

suicide. Both Mrs. Daniels and the son
are now very low.
