How significant are the words of the
American Consul at Bangkok, Siam,
| Professor Hamilton King, when he
says:
Yesterday we heard of the APP
preaching peace. To-day America
stands before the Oriental mind as she
has never stood before. Dewey did a

| through an increased strength he
brought into every American Lega-

WHAT SHALL THE VERDICT BE?

The Democratic platform in the State
of New York, just adopted by the State
Convention, shows Enthusiastically that
the only line upon which the Democ-
racy is working is assault upon the
Republican administration of the af-
fairs of the nation. While congratu-
lating the country upon the successful
termination of the war, in the next
breath 1t assails the President and his
administration violently, but In general
and sweeping terms, charging to him
the loss of life in the war, the suffering
inseparable from war, and generally
laying at his door blame for whatever
the Democracy assumes was worthy
of fault finding.
1t demands the selection Of a Demo
cratic Congress, that what it charges
were abuses in carrying on the war may
be investigated by Democratic commit
tees. since in the estimation of the
Democracy, it has secured all honesty
and patriotic purpose to itself by pat
ent right. So the Democracy Of the
Empire State makes it's State cam
paign national one from the start.
It insists upon what the fusionists of
California deny, namely, that national
affairs will be affected by the outcome
Of the State elections this fall.
Voters should consider this very Sc
riously. Since it has come. as the
Record Union" has all along insisted
it must to a question of upholding the
President in his prudent, unsensational
way of conducting the war, and of
maintaining the national honor, he who
casts a vota should ask himself wheth-
er he is prepared by that act to assault
the President or to give him indorse-
ment and commentator? That is really
the central question of the campaign.
| The support of Mcguire means assault
| upon the Administration, to cripple its
usefulness, to irnpeach it's patriotism,
to assail it's integrity, to say to the
world that the voter is not in accord
with the authority that has guided the
| nation so successfully through a for
| eign war, and with so little effusion OF
| blood.
| The Administration, which is now
| practically on trial before the voters
| of the State by reason of the assaults
Of the Democracy, has given the nation
a standing among the nations Of earth
which it had not, and never would have
gained under the obstructive, retro
gressive and unprogressive policy of
that party, as manifest during the
years when it controlled the nation and
administered its affairs.
Here, for instance, are our Consul

Value Of Accuracy.

A man Of businesslike aspect invaded
down town shoe shop yesterday
morning and said:
81 see you claim to do invisible patch
ing. Can you put an invisible patch on
this shoe?"
Yes, sir" replied the proprietor.
Sure? I don't want it done unless
you can, because this is one of my
swell shoes, and I don't want it to
show"
IF 1 don't put an invisible patch on
it I won't charge you anything for the
job
"All right. Go ahead"
The shoemaker took the shoe. and in
about fifteen minutes brought 1t back
to him neatly repaired.
H MI calculated the customer. II
think the bargain was that if you didn't
put an invisible patch on it you would
not charge anything, wasn't it?''
That's right"
This is the patch, isn't it,"
Yes"
We'll, it's perfectly visible. What
you meant was, I presume, that you
could make the evidences Of its being
a patch invisible, but you ought to
have said so. A bargains a bargain.
Let this be lesson to you. Good
morn
Hold on. can fix that all right"
said the shoemaker.
He took the shoe again, ran a sharp
knife under one edge Of the patch, ap-
piled pair of sharp nippers, dextrous-
ly ripped it off, threw it behind a
workbench, and handed the shoe back
again.
There" he said, els your shoe. and
the patch, as you'll notice, isn't visible
now. Let this be lesson to you. Good
nor Oh, he's gone!"-Chicago Tri-

A Night for Social Entertainments and
Small Bo, Franks.
This is Halloween, or All Souls Day.
The celebration of the day usually
takes the form of social entertainments
and mischievous pranks by the ubiqui-
tous and irrepressible small boy WHAT
connection there is between Halloween
and the DETACHMENT and destruction of
property, has never been explained, but
Young America does not even care
whether or not custom sanctions the
removal of steps and shutters, the ar
rangement of hat knockers" etc, etc.
There will be no augmented force of
guardians of the peace, and it is a safe
assertion that the blue coated minions
of the law will breathe a sigh of relief
when the night is over. The average
small boy, especially when there are
several of him, and all bent upon mis-
chief, can worry the police more than
the Spanish army worried tie Ameri-
can soldiers.
The social entertainments are unlike
those of any other period of the year.
There are many customs growing out
OF the supersfitiols connected with
the day, that are still honored in the
conventional Halloween social assem-
blage. During late years taffy pulling
has come to be regarded as indispensa-
BILE to the success of Halloween party

Scored tho Success OF HIS Political Career
in New York.
The following from the New York
World concerning Jake Kemple, the
erstwhile Wheeling lawyer and po1iti-
clan, will be appreciated by his friends:
Spellbinder Jake Kemple is one OF
the ablest campaigners among Repub-
lican orators. He has talked for Re-
publican national and State committees
from Passamoquaddy Bay to the Col
den Gate, and never told the same story
twice in the same place in the same
year. He went down into the Eleventh
Congressional district couple of
nights ago to make a speech for VIM.
Vokel, George billiards candidate for
Congress. 1t was a German meeting.
The hall was filled with Germans.
German notices and German illumin-
ated verses in German text adorned
the walls. Quaint porcelain pipes and
oddly decorated stems filed various
inches in the walls. A little German
band rendered such patriotic airs as
..Wacht am Rhein'' and 'Leiber Angus
tin" The chairman introduced Mr..
Kemple and the little fat orator arose,
put his hands in his pockets and pre-
pared to get in action.
"Hochi Hoch!' came from the rear
of the hall, followed by loud commo-
ton In came four stalwart men, each
carrying a key of beer. They were FOL
lowed by four more carrying Dung-
starters and trays CT stems.
Three cheers for Hilliard! bet ne
have more as a thousand majority!
yelled man in the ref-
II was plain to see where the beer
came from. Everybody cheered and
the chairman, leaning over to the ora
tor. said:'-
81 a'int it is peter as you don'd make
some speech, yed. Trink tree, Jour
glass peer and you dalks peter
The ''t'ree, four glass peer were
drunk, the band played, and then the
chairman raped the table with a
bung-starter and Orator Kemple got
ready.
The din increased. Some one started
to sing and every one Joined in the
chorus and followed it with shouts OF
"More peer! Three cheers for Hilliard!
He gets already yet some as ten 'tou-
sand majority"
.'You peter, l t'ink, not speak as
vet. Tring tree, four glass peer und
let 'em little quiet down alretty yet,
whispered the chairman to kemple.
Again pause while the tree, four
glass peer" were drunk, again the spell
binder essayed to earn his money, and
again came the outbreak, with its
songs and it's cheers for Hilliard. While
the audience was singing "Mein Lieber
Fre11nd" the chairman once more
leaned over to the nonplussed orator
and remarked:
81 tink it is peter as you trink tree,
four glass peer and helm gehen und
come some udder time
The orator took the advice, and as
he left the hall he heard the unanimous
declaration that Hilliard would have
more as one hundred 'ousand ma
jority."
He thinks that if he had spoken half
an hour longer in the same way Hill

unknown man who stepped up behind
her and struck her to the ground with
a blunt weapon. AS she fell she utter

to the spot within five minutes, but

Sousa knows what the people want and

than any comic opera since Robin

The marches have the true Sousa ring;
they almost lift the audience to its feet.
The book is clever. 1t has sufficient vigor

Charles Klein, the author, has written
well. His lines fit, story is clear and log
ical and it is developed with much dra-
matte skill. The situations in which the
unhappy Don Medigua is placed are all
genuinely comic, and they grow naturally
out of the incidents of the story. They
are not forced into the play, but seem
to be inevitable, and that is proof posi-
tive of the authors skill in construction.
Mr. Sousa has made his music on plan
similar to that of the librettist He has
not attempted to rise to level Of deli
cate and subtle art, but has written
frankly in a popular style. Behold FL
