The Truth TriumDhed.

From the Denver Evening Post
A silent man stood thinking in the canon
of the Platte,
His thoughts seemed almost wrecking his
dollar-fifty hat
His hands were oft uplifted in sort of
pantomime,
As though his active thinker was working
overtime.
Along the shore he wandered with slow
and measured pace,
A maze of thoughtful wrinkles twined
DER his sun-tanned face,
For in his troubled bosom there was a
vicious fight
AS Wrong strove to deliver a knockout
blow to Right
All day with Job-like patience he'd cast
his fly for trout.
But not a speckled beauty had let him
yank it out
And to his mind was clinging the boasts
he'd made in town
OF what string ned show them ere yet
the sun went down.
In his Imagination he heard the laughing
jeers
OF taunting, teasing townsmen vibrating
in his ears,
And Oft MS glances wandered to ranch boy
sitting nigh
Who had a string of beauties he knew that
he could buy.
He was an honored deacon in Hill of Zion
Church,
And never did a falsehood his pious lips
besmirch,
And never had the tempter got in it's work
so pat
AS at that trying moment UP on the dash
ing Platte.
mo one viii ever know it," the tempter
whispered low
Go buy the jay-boyS captures and take
them home to show,
And all your friends and neighbors will
stand with staring eyes
And iaud you as troutist up to the arch
ing skies!'
But Right by skllful sparring got in a
blow at Wrong,
And down the grand old canon he fshless
trudged along,
And unuo all his townsmen was bravo
enough to say
He never got a nibble through all the heat
ed day.
He told about the jab-boy who yanked the
beauties out
While he sat right beside him and never
caught a trout,
Nor offered he excuses, but freely did
admit
That as trouting expert he reckoned he
was nit.
The people stared in wonder and thought
he'd gone insane.
The minister embraced him again and yet
again,
The grocer on the corner assured him DER
and DER
His credit would be gilt-edged in future at
his store.
He soon was nominated for justice of the
peace
And beat the other fellow as slick as axle
grease,
And Oft he kneels in secret and thanks the
Master that
He didn't make a purchase from that Jay
boy on the Platte.

whipped the wrong one.

A laughable story about a German pro-
fessor appears in the Jugend. An assid-
uous student is this worthy pedagogue
and he naturally hates to be disturbed
by noisy children. Now It happened that
the other evening his wife left the house
for a few hours and his children awaited
themselves of the oportunity to have a
good old time. They raced from room to
room, laughing and shouting, until final
iy their unfortunate father who was busy
over some abstruse mathematical problem,
thought that he would go distracted In
vain he bade them be quiet; in vain he
wrestled with his logarithms. Finally he
lost patience, and, rushing from his study,
he ordered them all TO go to bed. AS it
was only o'clock they naturally remon-
strated, but all, with one exception, re-
tired to their bedrooms.
The one exception was a little girl, She
positively refused to go to bed, and the
worthy professor found it necessary to
administer a little corporal punishment,
which produced the desired effect. The
little girl saw that further resistance was
useless and she, too, followed her COM
panlons' example.
The professor was now able to pursue
his studies in quiet, and nothing disturbed
him until his wife returned. Her first
question was. "Where are the children"
He told her what had occurred, and she
at once went upstairs to look after the
flock. Presently she came back in a state
of great excitement and cried out 10 her
husband Il think you must be crazy
I thought that something was wrong
when you told me that you whipped one
of the children because she wouldn't go TO
bed. Now, do you know what you've
done? The child you whipped wasn't ours
at all. but DR.. Niemayer's little girl. who
has been spending the evening here"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Ond) says:
There will be no war with Italy over the
lynching of Italians in Louisiana. That
government is making the most possible
out of the affair. but its assiduity will
have no effect and probably is not design
ed to have any, beyond increasing some
what the amount of indemnity to be paid
by the United States. The incident, how
ever, in connection with the preceding
episodes of the same kind, indicates the
need of a new treaty with Italy which
shall hold that government chargeable
for the Malta members, ex-bandits and
habitual criminals that il sends here.
Italy sends us a large class of indus
trious and useful immigrants, but it also
sends numbers of scoundrels whose de-
parture from it is a benefit and whose
presence here is a curse. We certainly
have a moral claim against Italy for COM
pelling us TO endure the presence and sur
fer from the crimes of this class"
The Chicago News Qnd0 says: Gen.
Wood, said to be slated for governor gem
eral of Cuba, is a good man for the place
and would manage the island upon bust
ness principles. Another man as well fit
ted for the position Is Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
who would be immensely popular with
both Cubans and Americans. President
Mckinley will have no difficulty in filing
this place satisfactorily and doubtless
wishes that many more questions of APP
pointments and preference could be set
tied as easily and with as thoroughly
capable individuals for nominees"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem) says:
What is past may now be forgiven, if
not forgotten, and Gen. Alger be treated
I'm the future as his acts merit. Perhaps
the future history of the war department
may show that it was not the secretary
but the system that was most to blame
for the evils that were undeniable.
The New York Press CRep) says: "A
great many people, some well informed,
persist in calling the new secretary OF
War 'E-lie-hue' Root. strong accent on
the lie That is wrong. His name prop
SFly pronounced is 'Elly-hue.'"

The senatorial bribery case in Montana
promises to be a highly sensational one.
The Supreme Court of the state has order
ed Attorney John B. Welcome to plead
within the next week to the question why
he shouldn't be disbarred for briblng mem
bers of the legislature to vote for William
A. Clark for United States senator. It
was last January that the election for SEN
ator took place. Clark. a mulu-mllion-
are, was a candidate. He was very am
bilious to be a United States senator He
was reputed to be worth many millions of
dollars and it was expected that he would
pay literally for votes He had been a
candidate in 1893 and had been defeated.
He was not popular man.
Soon after the Legislature met 1t began to
be reported that votes were being bought
for Clark. and that Attorney John b.
Welcome, who was conducting his cam
paign for him, was paying $4,000 apiece for
them There was great excitement Clark
was elected, getting several votes more
than were necessary.
Pretty nearly as soon as the election was
over there were demands for an investiga-
ton. Sufficient testimony was produced
before the legislative committee appointed
TO examine into the matter TO satisfy the
legislature that Clark had bought his cleo
ton and that he had paid enormous sums
for votes.
II was determined to take the matter be-
fore the highest court in the state. If that
tribunal decides that Welcome is guilty of
brbing members of the legislature it is
difficult 10 see how the United States SEN
ate can permit Clark TO take his seat The
chances are that It will not. If the evil
dence that Clark bought his seat should be
conclusive, it wouldn't dare to seat him.
There is pretty general feeling through
out the country now that too many men get
into the Senate by means of money. If the
Senate should give Clark his seat, not
outstanding it should appear that if it
had not been for his money bags he
wouldn't have been thought of for the
place the feeling against the Senate
would be so bitter that a movement to
abolish it would be popular

AS details from the Florida storm come
in. it becomes apparent that he visitation
was exceptionally severe and destructive.
CarrabeIe, a prosperous and fourlshing
town has been practically wiped out, and
a number of vessels which were loading
at her docks have been driven ashore,
where their fate is problemaucal. Consd-
cradle damage has been sustained by the
railroads, and turpentine farms have suf-
fered severely. The one solitary gratifying
feature in connection W tn the occurrence
and that one is of the negative SORTS
that SO far as the Information goes there
was little if any loss of life. St.l, 1t may

The negro politicians In the Southern
part of this country have a much better
time than those of Hayt and San Do
mingo. On the islands the politicians find
1t necessary to kill each other off before
there can be rotation in the offices. That
is why there are so many revolutions in
the black republics, and why those revolu-
tons are characterized by murder and as
sasslnation. In this part of the United
States the leading negro politicians elect
themselves delegates to the National Re
publican convention, where they receive
a cash-in-hand consideration for their
votes for a certain candidate, and then
when that candidate gets into the White
House he still further rewards them by
giving them the federal offices in the
South The business acumen of the Re
publican bosses makes it unnecessary for
the American negro to play politics as the
San DOMINICAN does, and at the same time
makes it profitable for the negro leaders
to stay in politics.

CRAMPS LABOR TROUBLES.
Probability That 700 Boilermakers Will
Strike To-day for Nine Hours.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct 2-It Is probable that
700 boilermaksrs and ironworkers allied with
them. employed at the sh ipbuildng yards OF
the Cramp shipbuilding Company. will strike
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The dis
charge Of the Representative Committee ap.
pointed by the iron workers to present their
grievances to the company. has convinced the
mon that the company will not treat with them
and so 1t has been determined that unless
oyertures are made by the Cramps tonight. or
in the early morning. they will stop work.
This action on their part. 1t 10 thought. will
precipitate general strike or else the closing
Of the shops, forlwithout the ironworkers work
must be practically suspended.
