Lord Brassey writes in the
American Monthly Review Of Re-
views an interesting account Of the
present condition of the British
navy. The Review publishes As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt's COM
ments on this article, together with
an instructive summary of the last
annual report of the United States
navy and a review of Captain
Mahan's new book, "The Interest
of America in Sea-Power."
In review of "Facts and Fakes
about Cuba" printed in the San
Francisco Argonaut of January
10th, a number Of interesting ex-
tracts are made which reveal in
very striking fashion the way news
has been distorted and manufac-
tured by the sensational editors of
the new journalism. The author
of the book is George Bronson
Rea, who acted as war-correspond-
ent of the New York Herald in
Cuba, and his statements, though
surprising to the credulous news
paper reader, may be accepted as
the simple truth.
The article on Arthur Henry
Hallam, by Mr.. Gladstone, in the

fascinating literary papers ever
written by the great English
statesman. It carries one back to

a new serial story by G. A.
Stephens, a good story Of re-

several other short stories Of ex-

selection of miscellany.

The Denver Evening Post is
pursuing a policy that the bust
ness managers Of the average met
ropolitan daily would term suicidal.
But it is also showing that it is a
paper of the people and for the
people. It is openly bucking all
of Denver's large ''bargain' stores
that are employing children at
starvation wages. These children
as the Post truthfully claims should
be at school. There are other
still stronger charges made by the
Post with apparently good founda-
ton. The Post has lost consider
able good advertising contracts,
and the ''bargain' men have COM
bined to boycott it. But the
people. in whose favor the paper
is working, have the deciding
power.

CockreIi VS. KeFens

licans and democrats alike concede
that he knows more of the details of
public business than any other man
in the Senate.
He has been industrious and faith.
ful, with no false pride of place to
prevent him from responding to
demands on his time made by the
humble and uninfuential. No Mis-
sourian ever has needed "a pull to
get hearing from Cockrell.
This Is a great deal TO say of any
man but more can be said Of Cock
relI- He ia morally as well as
financially" honest. He has not
taken fees from the plutocrscy, nor
used the power intrusted him by the
people to compel the payment of
blackmail to himself.
Above all he is a democrst-op-
posed to centralizatioD; TO coercive
Federalism; TO Plutocratic coatrol of
money and trade; to British imperi-
alism in all its forms.
II Missouri parts with him, and
gets Kerens or any msn OF the
Kerens type in his place, it will be
to the sorrow of the State and of
every honest interest in ali the
States.
Democrats ought to work night
and day to save the legislature. The
presence in Washington of honest
Missouri democrats like Cockrell
has given the State a commanding
influence. We must not allow it to
be &c crifssd, as it will be if Cockrell

Hatfield's Ready for Battle.

Louisville, Ky, Oct 5-A battle
ia imminent between the authorities
and the members of the Hatfield
gang, living in Mingo county, West
Va, and along the Kentucky line.
The Hatfelds have posse heavily
armed guarding their premises.
They fear arrest for the crimes
charged against them in Pike county,
for which they have been indicted.
Detective Cunningham, who kid
naped "Johnse" some eight weeks
ago, has their enmity, and probably
will pay his life for his interference
fthey ever meet him.
Cunningham arrested "Johnse' in
West Virginia and delivered him to
the Kentucky authorities. He is
charged with the murder of five men.
His pals have, it is believed, formed
a compact to take him from the
clutches of the law.
Young Hatfeld's trial was set for
Tuesday, but his counsel submitted
amotion for change OF venue owing
to feeling against him in Eastern
kentucky. The court took the mo
ton under adyisement until Friday.
when the conflict feared is likely to
take place.

Remarkable Aerial Sight.


Fort Worth, Tex, October 5.-A
remarkable aerial phenomenon was
witnessed last night at 9 o'clock by
people of Garland and vicinity,
which affords food for thought
among astronomers and scientists.
A meteor descending from point
directly overhead, travelling slowly
in an easterly direction, suddenly
changed its course and shot upward,
when it burst, throwing into the air
three distinct bodies, each taking
its own course The first one was
bright red, the second white and the
third bright blue. The red and blue
lights coon died out. but the white
one continued on it's way few
seconds, when it burst, emitting a
shower of stars, which were extin-
gulshed almost Immediately. The
same pheucmanon was seen by citi-
