DoRNEy AND MeduINNEss.

A member OF the family of former
Mayor McGuinness called at The News
Office to express his Indignation be-
cause The News has asreminded its read
ers that Thomas j. Dor'ney was the
mayors private secretary during his
term of Office.
We recognize the business OF the in
dignation. We do not wonder that the
former mayors friends take offence
at the continued association OF Dor
ney's name with that of his former
patron. We regret that any remarks of
ours could have been construed as a
reflection on former Mayor McGunness
Dorney helped materially TO make May
or McGunness what he was and the
latter reciprocated by contributing to
make Dorney what he is. SO. we sup
pose the account is squared satisfac-
is hardly fair TO reopen the books and
our only point I'm referring at all TO the
matter was TO indicate how far Dor
ney had fallen from the estate to which
Mayor McGuinness lifted him rather
than TO cast a slur on the former
friend and patron. We have no desire
to resurrect antique political issues.
Mayor McGuinness paid his political
obligations so far as Dorney is con-
cerned and at this day it is more gra-
cious to congratulate him upon hav-
ing finished with his former heeier
rather than to recall that the mayor
once found 1t advantageous to employ
him.
Dorney is working only for Dorney.

be quite successful. at the Job.

Beer is apparently the Germans first
thought whenever anything happens.
No sooner was It known that Bismarck
was dead than the students OF the Ber-
lin University sent out summons to
n beer feast OF mourning in his honor.
The "Trauer commers" was held In the
hall of a large brewery. decorated with
banners and colors of the students
corps. The rector and many of the pro-
fessors Of the university were present
while the galleries were filled with la
dies. The proceedings began with the
playing OF funeral march and the
singing Of choral What God hath done
ls well done" followed by "Gaudeamus
ig!tur." and an address on Bismarck.
The presiding student then gave the
word for the "Trauer salamander," af-
ter which there were more songs.

/" FEIs cEOTLE."


There has been tendency of late to
revive the old music and folk songs of
Ireland. Moore's melodies. including
that gem, THE Last Rose Of Summer"
are instances OF how beautiful and
thoroughly musical these are. 1t is of
the latter that Mozart Is said to have
expressed himself that he would gladly
have given up all his music for the au-
thorship OF that one melody The cul-
tivation of the Irish folk song has
largely been stimulated by the emf

LIQUOR LICENSES AND THE

II
The license board has granted Dor

saloon at 2ii AtwelI's avenue. which

test against the abominablc proposition
The News has recognized the hopeless
ness of bucking against a political deal
involving Goo-Goos and Democrats.
That 1t has refrained from fully ex-
pressing such hopelessness was due to
desire to give the majority Of the

and not to condemn them in advance of
the act.
But that Dofney would win is now

URBAN AND RURAL STATESMEN.


Considerable rivalry exists between
the representatives OF city and rural
| districts when they come together in
state conventions. In Ohio state con-
ventions the delegates from the interior
counties look askance at those from
Cleveland and Cincinnati. In Illinois
the temptation of the ruralists TO com
bine against the Chicago representa-
tives is always great. and the oppo-
sition of Kentucky delegates from the
interior to those from Louisville has
frequently changed in the Blue Grass
state the current OF nominations. This
feeling was illustrated recently at the
Republican state convention In Indiana,
and II turned out disastrously for the
city men.
Indiana contains a considerable num-
ber OF small towns. but only one large
city. the capital. indianapolis. Indian
apolis has long been the political head
quarters of the leaders OF the two par
ties In the Hoosler state. and by de-
grees the political control of party af-
fairs has been absorbed by Marion
county. In which Indianapolis is situ-
ated. The leaders OF the Republican
organization in Marion determined at
the recent Republican convention TO
shape its course by selecting as the
candidate for auditor Mr.. Henry with
out reference to the views or prefer
ences of the representatives of coun-
ties in Indiana. Marion. though the
largest. casts less than one-tenth ofthe
total vote OF the state. When the dele
