of this was due to a friend of Governor
Schofield, who charged friends of the

Lafollette. with drawing public money
TO aid in the latter's campaign. Inves-
legations found the entire state force
involved, and every effort was made to
hush the matter up. Governor Scho-
field overdrew several hundred dollars
to attend McKinley's inauguration, his
secretary has overdrawn six thousand
dollars, while Others have drawn more
than their entire pay In hv years
would amount to. A scramble is now
being made to make the amount good.

he gets the expression Of two radically
opposite sets OF opinion. Take two
samples. One day last week the Wash

upon this point. They demand the re-

tion OF every foot of territory which

our military prowess. They not only
want the vast markets OF Eastern

ports are correct, he does not find that

on this issue. The proposal to annex

Scores of newspapers might be as

ly representative of the non-partisan
view-both are Of an independent turn
OF mind and not much Influenced by
considerations drawn from party tao
tics.
It is not easy TO say with which side
the majority of the press Of the coun-
try is. That the annexation news
papers are, or have been, more aggres-
sive is, however. true. lingo methods
have been theirs. They have sneered
at traditions, at constitutional bounds,
at conservatism, at the teachings OF
the nations most illustrious men OF
the past. They ave invented glitter
ing terms and dreamed dreams Of EN-
pire and a new era. For all reply to
serious discussion they fling out a few
observation-disclosures platitudes n

indiscrimInate ~orientalism; If the presi-

Imperialism before it realizes what has

Davis are claiming that he Is tanner
than he was a little while ago and
not quite so grasping.

practice on all the ocean steamships and
the companies should be required to de-

Some BeautIfuI Flowers.

Mrs. J. B. Penn, as many people
know, is a great admirer Of flowers aud
has quite a conservatory Of beautiful
and delicate plants in her home. She
has a sword cactus in bloom which is
quite a novelty. There are three beau
tifuI blossoms on the same blade in a
perfect row, one in front of the other.
They are exactly alike in size and color
and are 8 deep red with beautiful pet
ais, and are worth an artists study for
deIicacy and exquisite lo7liness. She
has many other fine flowers, but this is
the fa7Orite at the present time Her
taste leads her to the cultivation Of the
rare and beautiful in other lines; gold
fish in globular vaces, bric-s-bFac and
curiOs, fancy and needle work, so that
her home is a Yeritsble museum Of art
and elegance. On these treeless and
often dreary plains, it is refreshing to
meet with such home, and to see such
a display Of taste and refinement.
