JOURNAL TX. PAYS. ]"


The world, quite rigid 1t will stand,
And Gene Mccormack will lead the
band,
When our Bosses go to war.
The moon will fall from its hign place,
And crack with smiles all o'er Its face;
The stars will twinkle with delight
And you can bet ther'll be nothing to
fight.
When our Bosses go to war
Col CoRKER.
Ye gods. what are we coming to,
when IL has got so that even the Or
egonian reporter at Salem can't tell
the truth.
We don't blame the Statesman for
denying connection with that advisory
board Of Republican bosses. They're
had lot.
What's the use of capturing the
Philippines when the Cubans are still
starving and being murdered? Let's
do something for the liberation of
those near at home.
Cyclone Dayis is as tall as T.. II.
Geer, and four times as thick through
the middle.
The editor of the Statesman is in
formed now, If he did not know it
before, that the JOURNAL editor Is
not candidate nor a campaign man
ager, and its daily editorial on him is
not in good taste.
Bob Hendricks wanted to have
something distinctly fresh and in
nocent for his Marion county Repub-
lican advisory board so he put on such
D.Ophites and reformers as Cornmeal
Ike, Gene Mccormack and Geo. Grab
Bingham.
It's $500 miles to the Philippines.
Let's Sc d some relief to the Cubans
only 65 miles from Florida
-.
A pleasant man called on the X-Ray
man and offered to enlist in his COM
pdny If he went to the Cuban war.
He said some very complimentary
thinuo fhaf olpooof pna1a no bluob
and convinced us not only that he had
some sense but would make a good
soldier. Before leaving he acknowl-
edged that it would be great accom-
mediation If we would lend him dol
lar, and he got it.
BY misprlnt, Messrs. Irvine aud
Dayey, Of the Sentinel, were men
toned as being connected with the
Statesman. AS these young men haye
done us no injury, we regret the un-
fortunate slip.
Kiu ( has no connection with the A.
p. A, and never had. Geer has no
with it either, his friends
say, but he has not disowned them
publicly.
The States Right Democrat, which
Is ia on the Fusion deal, in referring
to the Fus0cratlc nominee for state
treasurer, remarks that "just at this
time the Office is badly in need OF a
change" Bosh The state treasury
is all right. There is no shortage, no
scandal, and no intimation of either.
The only change required is that Of
turning it oyer from one good, honest
to another Of the same
sort.-Salem Sentinel.
Very good, Mr.. Sentinel. But how
do you know there is no shortage ?
Please give us some figures. Please
have the honorable treasurer give us
a notify statement of the money in
The treasury now and the number of
warrants stamped mot paid for want
Of funds" each month. No, Brother
you don't know. We will
ind you Republican who VII wager
$500, that the 100000 now sup
posed to be in the state treasury is
lot there. And If you sill put up
hat amount and raise him he will
make it $1,000, And II you are not
,hen satisfied he will double it again.
