There is not much stock taken in
the statesmen of the Mills stamp
any more. Only few short years
and the name Of Roger @. Mills
was one to conjure with in the
Lone Star state. and all that he had
to do was to ask for this or that,
and the state made haste to do his
desire. Now it is all changed. Is
this an augury of that better time
coming in which the hosts of the
old.time democracy will ask for
the government Of the states, only
to find it denied to their prayers?
1t looks not impossible.

There Is no doubt that the Brit
ish are the active agents In the
present instruction in Crete.
Greece has always had a peculiar
charm for the English, and her
struggles against the Turk have
always enlisted the better feelings

islands. 1t Will not avail, how
ever, as this insurrectiou, foment-
ed by England and aided and
abetted from Athens, has no coun.

the statement that Mckinley is

he be manly enough to withdraw
Reeds name? This is what. There

lowers who think that this declsra-
tion Of Mr.. Manley should be fol-
lowed by the withdrawal OF Reeds

Warner Miller has SHE'D his cas-

readiness to stay by the fight
against Platt and the combine IL it
takes him until fall. There are
hot times pending in New York
state politics, and there will be not
only the regular campaign, state
and national, but the attempt to
GUST Plat from the management
OF affairs in that state. 1t is a fight
for honors, revenge, spoils, con.
troll and the future enfranchise-
ment or enslavement of the repub-
lican party in that state. Miller is
in earnest and the Tioga man will
find that he will need all of his
machinery to make Roadway
against the opposition that is gath
ering against him on every side.
He has ruled with a rod Of iron for
many years and made most bitter
enemies. Now that the turn of
the game comes 1t will be played
out.

sore feelings after the sport is over'

There would be much more hope
for the future of Independent gov
eminent in South Africa IL the
government OF the Transvaal were
in different hands. Kruger is
himself progressive and broadly
humanitarian, but his people are
not. They are honest, politically
and otherwise, but they are mar
row and very sectional and I'M
ready to suit themselves to
changed conditions. 1t is very
hard to mould such people into
form and make them serve the
purposes Of pioneer forces in liber-
al movements. That this is the
condition is we'll known to the
more acute minds that control af-
fairs for both Germany and Great
Britain, and it will be taken ad-
vantage Of at every opportunity.
Those Beers are good herders and
fighters and have strong ideas of
justice and personal rights, but
they are too far behind the age in
broad ideas of government to make
successful pioneers Of republican
institutions.

The Galveston News is not
prophesying any encouraging
things for the national democracy
as the result Of their silver slump
at Chicago. After reviewing the
situation and giving reasons for
the fear that 1t expresses the News
foots up the result. According to
these tables the republicans are
dead sure OF 2S2 votes in the cleo
toral college, while the democrats
are only certain of IA, the other
l6S being ranked as either doubtful
or populist. As only pa votes are
necessary to elect, there is not
much hope for the democracy in
any event, even il the free silver
craze is voted down at Chicago. 1t
Is quite certain that every state
put by the News in the republican
column will stay there despite any
action that may be taken at Chi
cago. 1t is stretch of the imagin-
alton to put Kansas and California
and Oregon and South Dakota
among the doubtful states, and yet
this is what the News does in
tables that give the republicans a
Of 80 in the electoral col
lege over all opposition.

A 800 Prize Story About a Farmer and
His Calves.

A 800 Prize Story About a Farmer and
His Calves.
This humorous sketch, by Carl E.
Boyle, secured the prize Of 500 offered
by the New York Sunday World for the
best campaign joke:
There has been much boiling this
year, and hence the story told by an In
diana speaker to illustrate the chasing
away of voters after false gods is par
ticularly good. It does not matter to
which party the speaker belonged.
According to the chronicle, man
was one day driving number of calves
along a country road, when he met an
other farmer driving bull. The ami
NAL was angry and going at terrific
speed, with the farmer mounted on a
horse in hot pursuit.
The calves gave surprised bleats,
turned around, stuck their tails straight
out behind them and started after the
bull. In vain the owner of the younger
animals tried to stop them. His yells
were unheeded, and soon the bull and
the calves disappeared up the road in
cloud Of dust. The farmer stopped and
mopped his face, mad clear through.
Then he yelled after the vanishing bo-
vines:
go it, ye durn foolsl Foller that
bull clear out Of the stated Yell find
what mistake ye have made when sup
per time comes!"

under the circumstances we thought it

he gave as his word that nothing but
dire necessity would have induced him
to rob a newspaper man. We tried to
get him to open game Of poker with
us, knowing that we could win every

1000 Majority For Taxing Rail-

The vote on the question of taxation
of railroad lands, in which the tax
payers of Redwood county we're SO
materially interested, resulted in a
majority of over 1900 in favor of the
proposition in Redwood county alone.
All over the State the vote was about
in the same proportion and the amend
ment was carried by a tremendous
majority.
In some precincts of this county no
votes we're cast against it. In other
precincts only a few were cast against
it. The town of Paxton was the only
town that gave majority against it..
This was done for personal reasons,
two residents of the town fighting the
proposition in order to exonerate their
fallen chieftain as we'll as to get re-
venge on other parties. The vote on
the amendment by towns is as follows:

QUAD'S QUEER TALES.
A Courteous Affair.


don't suppose there was ever more
genteel and courteous affair on the bor-
der than the little fracas that happened
between Deadwood Bill and Long Jack
in 1868. There was bad blood between
chem, and one day they met in Prim-
rose City.
''Let's see, unused Bill as he looked
the other over, haven't we bin intro
duced at some timer
"We hev," was the smiling reply.
IF I'm not way off, you ar the critter
called Deadwood Bill and one of the
best shots in the west''
"Ab, thanks! And I'm takin it that
you ar the galoot known as Long Jack,
who has allus outjumped, outhollered
and outfit everything he bucked up agin
In this glorious kentry''
Precisely. Glad to see you, Bill. /"
"And glad to meet you, Jack. I take
1t that you ar gentleman?''
eur shore.''
som l. That makes two gentlemen
Of US. When d. you want it to come
off?''
ooh, any time-that is, I'm goin'

may not be through before 2 O'Clock.
Kin ye wait till 2?''
"Sartinly. Make it 8 if you say so. "
emo; two will do. It's mighty kind
Of you, but one gentleman never keeps
another gentleman waitin. Call at the
Bucktail saloon when you re ready"
At 2 o'clock that afternoon Deadwood
Bill approached the Bucktail saloon
with a gun in either hand and sent
man in to ask Long Jack if he was
through with the game and ready for
business.
Gail ready and bin waitin Is seconds
fur him." was the reply as Jack stood
up in the middle of the floor and pulled
his guns. Then, turning to the proprie-
tor Of the place, he said:
''Sam, hope this little affair won't
put you out any,"
"Oh, no, nop' replied Sam. "Just
go right ahead and never mind me-"
"Sorry to disturb nybody," said Bill
to the crowd Of dozen around him at
the door, "but I'll get through with
this matter as quick as possible.
Then he took a running jump and
landed in the saloon, and there was
rapid pop! pop! pop" for 60 seconds.
Then the fusillade ceased, and the
smoke lifted to reveal two dead men
lying on the floor.
"Boys," said Sam to the men who
crowded in, lit was a fair fout and a
genteel fout. They died like regular
gentlemen.
The crowd stared at the faces of the
dead and nodded approval.
"And they shall be buried like gen.
tlemen," continued Sam. Here, you
Chinese heather, take this dollar and
60 out and dig two holes and plant these
gentlemen on their backs and give 'em
elbow room to shake hands in the next
