A BOOM FOR ROOSEVELT.

THE Presidential boom launched at Chicago few
 days ago for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is
 very far from being campaign joke It would be all surprising if the hero of Fl Caney were elected Governor of New York this fall, notwithstand ing the opposition of the machine element in the Re- publican party of that State, and if he is elected it is not unlikely that he will fall into the Presidential line upon the retirement of Mir Mckinley.
 Besides the Roosevelt boom has been launched under excellent auspices. The Chicago Republicans who have become members of the Roosevelt Club are the same men who discovered Harrison and Nc Kinley. Indeed, the Union League of Chicago, of which they are all leaders has long been the center of Western Presidential booms That organi- zaon is quick to discover the political strength and availability of public men and equally as speedy to make known its sentiments The resolutions of the Roosevelt Club indicate that these boomers have uncovered the source of the famous New Workers political availability and at the time that they understand the condition of the public mind Presidential questions The resolutions that the club has been formed flor the purpose Of making effective in Republican politics the independent, courageous and patriotic spirit shown in the political and military career of Theodore Roosevelt"
 Of course no one anticipates that the Republicans will set President Mckinley aside in 1900. Two years hence he will sweep the country at that time he shall have completed his work The issues he Will then represent VIII pc strong TO De come; but in 1904 the must necessarily be differ ent The war will then be mostly forgotten. Alter eight years service President Mckinley will be sur feited with honors tired and probably glad retire Tn addition the third rule will be invoked against him. No President has yet attempted to violate this rue except General Grant and he failed utterly to achieve his ambition
 Tn Ioo4 therefore, Roosevelt will be man upon whom the Republicans may with great propriety unite for victory But we regard the attempt that is now being made to run him for Governor of New York as a political mistake He should be allowed to rest on his laurels for two three years He has earned glory enough last him that length of time If the Republicans of the Empire State know their business they will spring him the people about 1900. If then elected Governor he could give the State cleo trical government for couple of years and power on earth could prevent his nomination for President in Ioo4
 However, the Roosevelt Club can do no harm in the meantime It is always we'll to keep such men as the rough riding colonel before the public Their ex ample is of the glories of free and independent country.

 STREETCAR FARE-Subscriber. City. If a passenger bets on board of street. car and tenders in payment of fare $10 piece and the conductor has not the change the general rule is for the con- ductor to carry the passenger as far as the turning-in office of the company, where he can obtain change. unless he can sooner obtain it from some of the other passengers. It has been held that a conductor must have enough change to break a reasonable tender, but that he is not bound to carry enough change to break a $10 or $20 piece A conductor would not be justified in ejecting pas senger who made a tender of a S10 piece for a cent fare and was willing to re- main in the car and be taken to the com pany'S office, but If the passenger insisted upon having his change right away or demanded ms money returned to him and created a disturbance the conductof would be justified in stopping tI-e car and putting him off.

As is customary with the father he gave fifty cents to his boy to put In the contribution plate.

Come up and get your moneys worth.

WHO IS THE KANSAS 100000

h ERHAPS there is nothing strange in the fact D that the soldiers who volunteered for service and got nothing but sentry duty and scant army rations should feel disgruntled Existence at Camp Merritt was round Of pleasure, and even at the Presdio there were things be desired. But the Kansas regiment has had the unhappiest time In the first place its Governor permitted it to leave the State i'll clad and destitute of every of comfort Upon its arrival here the observed to be ragged, shoeess and unkempt and because of this they were taken to the public heart The Red Cross women did all that possible for them and the Kansans were duly grateful.
 At first the regiment was without colonel, lieu tenant colonel being in command and he quickly demonstrated that he was totally unfit for the sponsibty When the real colonel reached the camp he brought order out of confusion, drilled the men into line, got decent equipment and soon had regi- ment that any officer might be proud to command The revolution he wrought made the subordinate sick He went to the hospital almost dismissed from the service for incompetency and has since seemed to have joyous moment. There has been trouble in the ranks Some minor official got away with commissary stores and was publicly disgraced Now he his superiors of being cupable with him The lieutenant colonel left the hospital nursed his grievances and began to stir up strife. He is threatened with arrest. There seems to be hoodoo on the Kansas boys.
 The fault IS not with the regiment, not with the colonel It rests farther back It easily be traced to the Governor. Leedy IS Populist He brought his high position all the cranksms which constitute
 greater plague Kansas than the grasshoppers ever did He tried to live up all the fool notions of his creed, and his career has in consequence been one long mistake In all of this there is lesson for Cali fornia The Democrats trying to fost Popuist Governor upon California. This State wants no Leedy, Pennoyer Waite It has seen re- suits enough There is occasion for it to try ex- periments. We can learn from the Kansas hoodoo without putting hoodoo of our into the execu- tive chair

For reporters to remember that Mrs. Botkin is merely accused of crime, not convicted, would add the value of their printed observations Chief Lees has evidently made up his mind to the prisoners guilt and there reasonable suppostion that any evidence shake it, that evidence tending to cast doubt upon his conclusions will be encouraged to ap- pear. A reporter, however, would win just much glory by demonstrating the womans innocence as her guilt and makes mistake in looking into the subject from the standpoint of the sleuth whose business is to convict people The detective who forms his theory first and afterward shapes the evidence to fit it is prone to While circumstances far developed are certainly against Mrs Botl1in, the case is too grave to admit of hasty judgment.

When man begins to brag, he must be
very careful to keep track of what he says
An amusing instance of the results of not
doing SO was shown in the case of the
manager of music hall in the north Of
England who, although most illiterate
man, prided himself not little on his
brilliant oratorical powers and made it a
practice in the course of the programme
every Saturday night to announce the
leading items of the forthcoming week g
entertainment. One evening he finished
his weekly speech in the following remark
able terms:
Last, but not least, ladies and gentle
men, allow me to inform you that at an
enormous expense have exclusively en-
gagged the marvellous Bormdee brothers,
the world famed acrobats, to appear here
in their celebrated entertainment for six
nights, commencing Monday next-un-
derstand, ladies and gentlemen, the Borm-
dee brothers, the champion aoroabts of the
world
Here he paused for moment to regain
his breath and thon proudly continued:
YES, and, what's more, on Monday
week we've got troop coming what can
knock 'em into a cooked hat. "-Harper's
Round Table.
