pector which is well worth the telling.
Apparently no serious consequences
have arisen out of the incident, but it
aptly illustrates the strained conditions
that exist on the frontier. And intrin-
sically the story is full of the element
of romance not unmixed with comical-
ity.
Mr.. Moore conducts thriving farm
on the English side of the Uruan river,
which stream is one of the temporarily
arranged lines of demarcation between
the republic and the British colony of
Guiana. By dint of industry and pa
tiencc he has within half dozen years
established out Of the drear wilderness
one of the most prosperous cattle and
agricultural farms in northern South
America. His place is an object lesson
of what can be done in this direction
with the material that nature has so
abundantly supplied; and Mr.. Moore
not only keeps his family there, but
With characteristic Irish geninlity lit
orally keeps an open house for all yis-
itors.

zens that either Harrison or Cleve-
land has refused compensation for
his work, although,as before stated
they had not ouly been lUaded with
the honors of the presidency but
had also received the 10000 year
pertaining thereto, which II is faIF
TO assume had placed them far be.
yond the reach of want.
But IT is charged that Mr.. llryan
is ambitious to he president. We
hope this charge is true, 1t is an
honorable ambition and one fully
justified by the position he occu-
pies. 1t is an ambition directly in
line with the wishes of fully 6,000,-
900 of American voters, which is a
great deal more than can be said
of the ambition of some other
"would-be" pre- sidents.
We again express the hope that
the charge IS true, for we know him
we'll enough to know that he Will
surrender no principles to reach It,,
which is a sufficient guaranty that,
when elected president, he will
make good one.-National Bime-

Another Republican Paper Bolts.

The Boston Post, a leading Re-
publican journal, says:
'The Republican party through
out the country is today afflicted
by a decentralization such as never
in the history of our politics has
come so suddenly upon any organ
ization. 1t is only six months since
a Republican president and con-
gress was elected. Today the whole
land is in revolt against the party
in power. 1t is not altogether the
effect of continued hard times; it
is, as Mr.. Wanamaker intimates,
due to the loss of confidence in the
purposes of the Republican leaders.
