 Republican State Central Committee.

through every campaign We had-let me see" and the major patted his Well-kept hands thoughtfullv together; i've had over eight hundred speeches delivered during the campaign. And We spent great deal of money. We had to go out and beg for it,too. Don't forget that, now. Our late friend, the enemy there, and the major kicked a Well-shod foot in the direction of the fallen cartoons, "our dear conquered foe was wont to loudly scream that we had unlimited gold at our command from the railroad, you know, and also from, the East-the mystical East, which is supposed to rain gold every now and then into the other party's s hands. Why, if we had had all the money we were credited with" and the nlajor smiled a meaning smile. i've would have swept the State clean Of Democrats"
 linen the Republicans are not so liberal?"
 ."I am afraid that is the rock ahead on which the Republican party may split. San Francisco is getting tired of being the political wetnurse of the State The idea that this committee was fairly rolling in wealth became very popular and we were expected by all the other counties to provide the sinews of war Even new members of this committee were bitten py the 1dea Whenever a question of expense came up I could see the covert glance ex- changed in expectation of seeing the magic sack brought out of a corner and deposited on the table in full view. It was only when it was explained to them that they had to get out and beg that they took a clearer view of the situation"
 And did they do it?"
 What, get out and beg? Yes they did, manfully.

Women do that part of It rather well, don't they?"
 The major shook his head. T rather like to be thought gallant, he said, con- 1dingly but do you know I've lost my reputation in this campaign? l would not have a woman come into 1t.

 Thanks, never mind! I couldn't pos sibly remember any more. Besides, I'm more interested in you just now. What did you do?"

In large Eastern centers. where poli- tics are played scientifically like a game of chess, the party goes on from one campaign to another perfecting the machinery. In California the inter est nearly always has been permitted to die out. Now l made up nv mind to work against that waning of interest.

A HORSE THAT WAS RUDE.

A funny thing happened at the corner of Ridge avenue and Twelfth street yes- terday about noon. A patient old horse was standing close to the sidewalk in the shaft of truck wagon, with his soft old nose turned toward the door of the house at which his master was doing a little bargaining as to the price of eabbages. About this time a man walked up and just brushed the horses nose with his sleeve. ''I beg your pardon" he said, po- litely, "but would you direct me to Twelfth street?" Whether the old quad ruped knew that he was standing on that The man repeated the question, with the same result. He then got angry, and the amusement of the passers-by could not quiet old horse thus: "Well, you're the most ill-mannered beast I've met in a long time. to refuse to direct blind man along the street" Then the truck dealer came along, and, apologizing for the rude ness of his horse, put the blind man in the way he wanted to go.-Philadelphia Press

GOVERNOR BLACK MAY
 BE CHOSEN SENATOR
Friends Throughout New York Are Strongly Advocating His
 Election.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Before the clouds of the stormy election have fairly blown away friends of Governor Frank 5. BLACK all through the State are uniting in a demand that he be sent by the Republl- can Legislature to the United States Sen ate as MT. Murphy's successor. It IS as serted that Governor Black would not only be proud thus to represent his party but that he is well fitted for the position and would be a historic record at " ash- the movement to secure his nomination. There is reason to believe that the Gov ernor will have the vigorous support oI active canvass for the position.

"I'n see" said the little boy at the door, If Major Mclaughlin is in."
 He went away and left me in the re- ception room of the Republican State Central Committee at the Palace Hotel "a room filtered with bits of paper, torn envelopes, mutilated election tickets, cigar ashes. cigar butts and men with their hats on. When he came back Major Mclaughlin came with him.
 'Ah!" said the major, with his hand some bow. You'll excuse our house. keeping. At the close of the battle, you know, you can't expect to find the field quite clear" He opened the door into another room. It's better" he said, in here"
 ''Is it?" I said, looking in.
 Dear me-" said the major, it isn't, Is it?"
 Maybe it's quieter." I suggested civilly.
 'Yes." said the major, looking re- lieved, lit is quieter. And, as for ap- pearances, as I say, you know after a great battle"

 There he is. our friend the enemy!" answered the major, laughing con- tentedly. Looks like a good deal of ammunition wasted, doesn't it? And yet why say wasted? Every shot that

 "Yes? How do you make that out?''
 Why said the major suavely, you know only the truth counts in politics.
 "No, I didn't know. Isn't that rather new theory?"
 Not with me-" said the major. mot with me Truth and hard work are my political principles"
 Well everybody Is bound to admit that your political principles succeed. So that is the way you make Presidents and Governors and Kings, is it?
 "I?" said the major modestly, waving a deprecating hand with large dia- mond glittering on the little finger. Don't you mean the Republican party?"
 T don't know that I do," I replied. "somebody has to drive the elephant. Who does that?"
 There's the State Central Commit tee" murmured the major, "and the executive committee and our stirring Republican orators, our spell binders, General Barnes and George Knight our old reliables, they are-and among the younger men, Colonel Eddy and Major Kyle and MT. D. E. McKinlay- they've done magnificent work! Then there is Judge Hart from Sacramento, who has given his valuable time for the glory of the cause, and there is James Ava Watt, who has had charge of all the city meetings and conducted them admirably, and there is Paris Kilburn, the treasurer of the commit tee, who has been simply indefatigable, and there's Jake Steppacher, and

THE SUNSET WAS NOT NATURAL.

That same evening we walked down to the lake and witnessed one of the most glorious sunsets I have ever seen. The turquoise tints of the sky and the feathery clouds of red with their silver edges were something beyond descrip- tion. For moment I forgot the pres ence of the champion kicker, but he brought me back to the world, the flesh sunset, but it would be prettier and more natural If those pink clouds were not so awfully pink. No artist would ever paint a sky like that, for 1t isn't natural. "-Iron Age.

OUR VICTORIES.

There Is danger lest we cease to ap-
preciate the smiles OF God-given vic
tories in time OF war. Like the sun
shine, that comes to US unleeded and
unnotcd until days Of darkness and
cloud remind us of the brightness
past, so the sunshine Of continued
victories is unhceded until some sad
disaster awakens US to the realization
Of blessings. We rise to "A pitch OF
almost wild enthusiasm, when we
read of our great victories and turn
for moment hero worshippers. Alas!
how often we find our heroes have but
feet of clay. Victories like that Of
Nipe, Cuba, scarce obtain passing no
tice, and yet results may be far-reacll-
ing. Every day brings tidings OF the
fall OF some fort in Cuba, OF the sur
render OF thousands OF Spanish sold
iers, and we say there Is no news OF
import to-day, we look for something
on a magnificent scale. All honor to
our recognized heroes, and to the un-
known IA sweet recognition in the
time OF final revelation when true
merit shall win its reward. Let US
appreciate the minor events that pave
the way to great results. Let US ap-
preciate the workers in the ranks that
prepare the way for earth's conquer
ing heroes.

Drifting toward the shoreless sea
Bounded by eternity.
In the far-otf by and by,
When the dawn shall Gid the sky,
Yet our eyes shall still behold
Midnight miracles of gold.
When the city Of the dead
And the dark, clay-curtained bed
Hold our dust, In some glad way
] shall know you as to-day
shall see your smile and hear
Words like honey to my ear.
shall know your. heart is filed
With the Joy that mine has thrilled.
We have woven all our years
In II wreath OF smiles and tears.
And the heaven we're IA hell
Where but one OF us might dwell.

With our dust where roots shall creep
And within the rose combine
Color from your heart and mine.

Says the Philadelphia Record: "Our
British cousins seem to have time for
little else than to sing Americas
praises. The London weeklies almost
with one accord hail the United
States as the great world power of the
coming century. Even sedate 1nan-
cial journal, the Statist, becoming en-
thusiastic over the prospect, says that
"the United States will speak with
more potent voice in all international
affairs than any continental country
None Of the latter could inflict serious
injury upon the United States in the
event of war, while the American
navy before long would be able tt
sweep from the seas any continental
navy.n There is nothing in these re-
marks that can be considered very
new; they are merely q repetition 10

American declaration that I'VE Cd"
