"Jeffersonian simplicity" seem to
have hard sleddin'. The attempt to
make people believe that old Tom
subsiste'l chiefly on sour-dough bread
and skinned milk won't go down
at least 7. j. didn't down much Of it.
In fact, he was a high liver and "A
bloatcd aristOcrat who dotted onfast
chooses" and ''sich." We remember
some years ago one of the popular
magazines reproduced an interesting
article ON +. J.'s wine bills, giving
some of the figures, which were quite
large for his time. Now comcs the
Boston Herald and sheds a little
light on the author of the dpclara-
ton OF independence. 1t says:
Speaking of Jeffersonian dinners,
it is recalled that ThomIs Jefferson
always dined well. Monticello was
stocked with the finest wines, and the
great plantation of twenty thousand
acres produced almost every kind OF
fruit and vegetable. Jefferson had
been brought up in the best society,
and spent some years at the court in
Paris. He had the continental ideas
of luxury in living, n ID heentertained
royalty. Ii is recalled, likewise, that
his dinners were served on silver
plate, a fact which must strike the
Bryan brethren with more or less
conflicting emotions.
Yet the Bryan Democracy are 60
ing to give a "dollar-a-plate" dinner
in New York this week and call it
"Jeffers"nian simplicity" OF course,
II one dollar IA head does not meet the
expenses, some one will make up the
deficit on the quiet and the dema-
gogic program will be worked off on
the ignorant to slow music.

While the subject OF the incorpora-
ton of Lewistown is a common
theme for discussion, very few people
have been noted who are willing TO
accept the negative end OF the argu
ment. While doubtless many votes
will be cast against Incorporation,
the opposition seems to be either
very short OF argument or recognizes
that this spring a large majority
favors the step. One or two citizens
have been heard to intimate that
they should oppose Incorporation be-
cause they feared some job had been
put up for the granting Of an electric
light privilege to the Citizens Electric
company, but inquiry OF officials of
that company discloses that the
trustees OF the company are by no
means unanimous for Incorporation

A sad story comes from Wichita,
Kansas, of the death of a young
woman by suicide who lost her lover
in the Philippines. The young lady's
name was Mary Wilson and that of
her soldier lover Alva Dix. The
latter was IA private in Company G.,
Twentieth Kansas volunteers, and
before he enlisted was a prosperous
farmer. Miss Wilson graduated at
Vassar while her sweetheart was on
his way tn the Philippines. During
the progress OF the war she watched
the daily papers with absorbing in
t%erest, hoping that fate would he
kind to one dearer than life to her.
She had read that the gallant Col.
Funston had made personal mention
OF the bravery Of young Dix on the
field Of battle and it filled her heart
with joy. Bat it was not to last.
A few days afterward the battle
OF Malolos, the Filipeno capital,
was fought, and picking up a paper
she found among the list OF killed in
the Twentieth Kansas regiment the
name of Alva Dix. 1t was no mistake:
there was but one Alva Dix in the
regiment. She knew it was herlover,
and, though Frustrated with grief, she
gave no sign OF her desperate purpose.
At night when she retired she wrote
a notf'to her father and mother, tell
ing them that she did not care to
live any longer since Alva was dead,
and left it on a table in her room.
Some time during the night she took
morphine and ended her life. They
were to be married in June, but a
Mauser bullet put an end To their
fondest hopes and brought grief to
the homes of two prominent Kansas
families.

IHE SPRING ELECHONS.

The Democratic press OF this state
is not getting much comfort out OF
the spring elections, local irrational.
The Republicans made unexpected
gains in the state, while the result
throughout the nation is most graft
fying. While in many instances a
municipal contest has no political
significance, il there should bea wave
of opposition so pronounced thatone
party or the other made nearly a
clean sweep, it would be attributed
to something else besides local con-
ditions.
1t is evident from the returns that
the G. o. p. il all right with the peo-
pie, and that they had ne desire to
rebuke it or the president for any
shortcomings.
The election of Carter Harrison in
Chicago can hardly be claimed as a
Democratic victory; it amounts to a
defeat of the Chicago platform and
'steen to one Democracy. The plat
form on which Mayor Harrison stood
made no reference to national issues,
while Altgeld declared for free silver,
Chicago platform, municipal owner
ship of street railways and other
wild issues too numerous to mention.
The result shows Harrison to have
received 46,9l4, Zina Carter, Republic
can, los, 1904, John p. Altgeld 45,40l.
As the dispatches stated, many Re-
publicans voted for Harrison because
of his stand against the attempted
monopoly of street railway lines un-
der the proposed 5O-year franchises.
1t is a notorious fact, however,
that the national Democratic COM
mittee gave its influence and support
TO Altgeld, saying the Harrison con-
ventiOn twas Democratic in name
only. All the real Democrats of Chi
cago are supporting John p. Altgeld,
who is running on the national plat
form; and, although elected as a DEM
ocrat, Harrison has never done any,
thing while in Office to entitle him to
the honor Of being called a Democrat.
He no sooner got into the mayoralty
chair than he placed himself under
the protection of Mark Hanna's Chi
cago agents, kohlsaat and Lawson,
and as a result the doors of the city
hall have for two years been closed
TO real Democrats. 1t was at the be-
hest of Kohlsaat and Lawson, in
November last, that Harrison issued
$9I 900 in municipal gold bonds.
There was really no necessity for the
debt at all, and there is every reason
to believe that the plan was concoct-
ed so as to insult the regular Demo-
Gratis Of Chicago" and more of the
same kind.
The turning down that Altgeld re-
ceived will afford no comfort to
Bryan Democrats, while 1t ia certain
Harrison could not have been elected
had not Republicans supported him
in preference to their own candidate.

Times says: The most important event
in political circles in Manhattan today
was the announcement that Cornelius
n. Bliss. ex- secretary of the interior,
was to be brought out as the candidate
of the influential members of the Union
League Club of that borough for the re-
publican nomination for vice president.
1t was stated on good authority that the
men who originally backed the boom of
Elihu Root. secretary of war, for the
vice presidential nomination, which was
launched few weeks ago, are the men
who are behind the movement to secure
Mr.. Bliss nomination.
These men, 1t was said, have recev-
ed word that Mr.. Root would prefer to
remain in President McKinley's cabinet.
This information will probably be sur
prise to some of Mr.. Roots friends, as 1t
certainly will be surprise to the
friends of Lieutenant Governor Wood
ruff here in Brooklyn, who have regard
ed Mr.. Root as their only foe.
