GEMS FROM A GREAT SPEECH

We present here a few interesting ex-
cerpts from the speech delivered by
Mr.. Gage in San Diego, not the speech
bearing the stamp made in San Fran
CISCO" Mr.. Gage begins by saying that
his heart urges him to be silent because
he has "a delicacy of feeling about ad-
dressing a meeting of this magnitude
when 1 am a party in interest" 1t Is
usually we'll to hearken to the hearts
admonition:
I am pleased to say that in my trav-
els over the state l have been assured
of a Republican victory. and the same
PROSPECTS are said to exist In all parts
of the state. The great old Democratic
party has lost its path-its patriotism.
They who carried the flag of Democracy
in 1896 today will bear our standard to
victory, and the knell of Populism will
be sounded, but not will do 1t.
We shall not stop to elucidate the
above extract, but commend it to per-
sons of leisure. Abiding to the Southern
Pacific company Mr.. Gage says:
And let me ask you what your candi-
date would do against that company?
l am not the greatest student or the
BtDle, DuI i unueTStdHu DdSiC &c"
DO unto others as ye would that they
should do unto you-think OF your
candidate and see how you will vote.
We fail to see the pertinence of this
use of the golden rule In the interest of
railroad rule. 1t is no doubt good poll
tics" however, for a political speaker
to give the impression that he Is famil-
lar with the Bible. Speaking of Sena-
tor White Mr.. Gage says:
There's a man that love He is one of
the dearest friends I have. I regard
him so highly that, were his life In peril,
l should sacrifice my own to save him.
In closing Mr.. Gage becomes reverent
and prayerful. He says:
l will ask God to help me to do what
is right. and If he won't, will do 10
anyway.
This recalls the country parson. who
at the end of the service announced that
there will be preaching in this church
next Sabbath, If the Lords willing, and
if not on the following Sabbath"

Russell Sage's Pets

Russell Sage, the New York mu1ti-mil-
lionaire, who is now so years old, has not
missed day at his place of business for
over five years, says the Chicago Record.
He finds his amusement In a pair of pet kit
tens. and whenever any Of his callers intro
duce unpleasant topics of conversation he
changes the subject to a discussion Of the
Intelligence Of the feline race.
Another of his diversions is fast horse,
and he goes out every pleasant afternoon
for a spin through Central park and over
the speedway. Until this summer he used
to drive himself, but he Is getting SO feeble
that of late he takes his coachman along
with him. The coachman drives through
the city and the park, but when they come
to the speedway Mr.. Sage takes the reins
in his own hands and touches up his horse
to the top of his speed. When his love of
excitement is satisfied he passes the rib
bons over to the coachman again and set
ties back In his seat with an air Of gratifica-
tion.
Every afternoon after he returns home he
plays with his kittens for an hour or more
until dinner. He used to spend the even
Ing reading the newspapers, but his eyes
are failing and, like the misers he treasures
them. The kittens furnish sufficient diver
sion, and he plays with them again until
he goes to bed.
Mrs Sage has been assisting Helen Gould
In her work Of relief among the soldiers
this summer, and has remained in New
York through all the hot weather for that
purpose.

A Wealthy Cherokee

One Of the first sufferers from tho Span
ish war. was an American of Americans.
Juan Rey. or. in English, John King, hneal
head of the Cherokee nation, who Is now
returned from Cuba to his home In indian
Territory, says the Philadelphia Press.
At the time war was declared this un-
usual Indian was near Havana, looking for
a large tract of land and two sugar mills
which he owned there. The Spanish de-
manded $500 of him for war purposes He
gave the sum so readily that they repeated
the request. This, however, was too much,
and, saying that he would have to go into
the city to get the cash, Rey drew out all
his money and started for America, leav-
ing his property to be destroyed by the
enemy.
The Cherokee is graduate of Ann Arbor
Medical college. He wears necklace Of
hons teeth from the jaws Of animals killed
by himself in Sierra Leone. He owns O
large ranch, with 100 head of cattle. In
Mexico. Two of his sons are now with our
navy in the Philippines.

THE WAR IN THE NAVY

Destroy or capture the enemy's ships
the commodore hears the word,
Nor as welcome sound to his seaman's
ears in many a days been heard;
So up and away the squadron goes, the
steam Is crowded on;
The ocean hounds have broken their
bounds to seek the willy Don!
They seek him there In his inmost lair,
where he dreams he lies secure;
And little they reck of the burly mine or
the sly torpedo's lure.
Find and grapple"-the law they keep
they want no other chart;
Destroy or capture"-enough for them
the and O. the art!
And If you would know who told them so,
You'll find from the men, above or below.
You'll find from friend, and you'll find from
foe
Its way they have In the navy!"

To succor and save fallen foe.

LAY IT AWAY GENTLY

Our Republican contemporary, the
Times, started something of a fanfare
yesterday by proclaiming that Judge
Mcguire is sending out, under his frank
copies of his speeches on the single tax
for campaign purposes. The inference
drawn by our neighbor was that these
documents must be going out in vast
quantities; that they are probably not
the output of the government printing
office, and that Congressman Mcguire
must be abusing his franking privilege.
Thinking the best way to settle this
little nightmare was to go directly to
headquarters with it. The Herald
wired an inquiry to Judge Mcguire and
received the following response:
