HORNS OF A DILEMMA.

How can our neighbor endorse the
Republican city platform and Mayor
clark's integrity at the same time? Is
this what may be called double
somersault?
The platform arraigns the present
municipal administration for wasteful-
ness and extravaganza. The organ ex-
tolls the virtues OF the mayor and swears
by the platform.
In his annual message, Mayor Clark
shows that, while the receipts show an
increase of $44.S9Lo1 per year over the
preceding Republican administration,
the total expenditures show a decrease
of s16.364.9S. making net gain to the
city of sSO.695.S4" in one year.
No wonder the Republicans denounce
sn administration with a showing like
that. Give them chance and wen
have the old Republican system in
force again.

The Fruit Was Wax.

When the great account is rendered

be found that Uncle Russell Sage has

the last twenty-five years the old miser
has been the butt end of all complaints.
Many manufactured story of money
meannesS has been fastened upon him
because he was good tackle TO carry it,
His hospitality also has come in for more
than one score. The latest is about a
meeting of a board of directors. Having
no other place so cheap, Sage invited
the members to his house, where business
was transacted in the dining room. On
the table was a magnificent basket of
fruits. and visions of wine and salads,
however, failed to materialize. and when
the odd man left the room q director said

Spaniard the policy of catering to
contractors, planning for bond issues
and wearing out the heart of the coun-
try and of the troops by unnecessary
and bungling delays" was distinctively
Republican policy. All this may be
learned from the record, and what is
more. every allegation of discredit to
the Republican administration can be
substantiated by quotations from the
editorial columns of the Salt Lake Tri-
bunel
The. record shows, too, that the adj
ministration has deliberately and per-
sistently deceived the American people
with the aid of a lying censorship es-
tablished and maintained at the ex-
pense and to the shame of the govern
ment for the purpose of furthering
Mark Hanna's political schemes. The
record shows that 95 per cent of the
volunteers returned from the Philip

by Otis, and whenever his name was

ferent commander III the Philippines.

LINCOLN MIsREpREsENTED.

1t is utterly impossible, it seems, for
disciple of Hanna to quote Lincoln
correctly-it is long cry from Lincoln
to HANNA great deal farther than it
is from Lincoln to Bryan.
Chairman Hanna's local mouthpiece
says sit is true that he Oincoln) OPP
posed the war with Mexico" but it
says that "he believed the object was
to extend the slavery area of the Unit
ed States"
What nonsense! Lincoln stated his
own reasons. He made them plain in
his speeches. He was opposed to con-
quest. He wanted to know what right
president of this republic had to send
an army of invasion into a. populated
land. He compared it to the raids of
Cortez and Pizarro. He demanded to
know IF the soil was ours where the
blood was first she'd" and if not, he
asked of President Polk to explain up
on what right our soldiers We're invad-
ing a foreign country. "a country that
is inhabited and whose inhabitants
have not submitted themselves to the
civil authority of the United States
Abraham Lincoln said that the blood
of soldiers thus sacrificed would cry to
heaven like the blood of Abel" And
he described the situation today better
than he described the~one of which he
spoke. Jan. H. 1S4S, when he accused
the president of having a secret purpose
"a hidden motive to involve the two
countries in war, and trusting to es-
cape scrutiny by fixing the public gaze
upon the exceeding brightness. of mil
itary glory-that attractive rainbow
that rises in showers of blood-that ser
penis eye that charms to destroy-he
plunged into it, and has swept on and
on till, disappointed in his calculation
of the ease with which Mexico might
be subdued, he now finds himself he
knows not where. He is bewildered, |
confounded and miserably perplexed
man. God grant he may be able to
show there is not something about his
conscience more painful than all his |
mental perplexity."
When told that the Mexicans were
too badly demoralized to govern them |
selves. that they were, in short, unfit |
for government, he replied that it /
was their affair and that this govern |
ment had troubles of its own to look |
after.
Lincoln is better interpreter of his
own craftsmanship than Mark Hanna
is. Wen take Lincoln's word this time. |

HAIL COLUMBIA

The Columbia won the first heat
hands down. 1t was done so easily that
there seems TO be no question about
the outcome. She was better rugged
and better handled than her British
competitor, crossing the line first and
increasing the lead from a nose to a
mile at the finish. The Shamrock is a
wonderful boat and may furnish some
surprises before the right to the cup is
settled, but she appears to be at her
best in light breeze and smooth sea.

tian's life and practical unanimity as
to his art He was the most finished
embodiment of the sensuous aspect of
the developed renaissance of Italy. He
was also, on account of his life of 80
years, living history of Venetian
painting in its whole period of bloom.
He witnessed both the dawn and the
decline of the golden age of the renais-
Sance.
Titian's surroundings made him what
he was. Before his day Venetian art
had not come into line with other Ital-
ian schools. The cold, diplomatic. mer
camille Venetians had loved the gor-
geous side of the ancient art of the
Byzantine empire: they had not felt
the religious emotions that accompa-
MED and made possible the Giottesque
art of the rest of Italy. Superb color
and lack of inner life characterized
their school of painting until the mid

Reporter Worth Million Dollars.

Reporter Worth a Million Dollars.
Colonel Sheffield Phelps, owner of the
Jersey City Journal, was the richest
newspaper reported in America several
years ago, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Post. From his father, the late William
Walter Phelps. he inherited a fortune of
several millions and under his active and
practical management he has made his
newspaper the foremost journal of the
state. At the end of his first year he was
bitterly STACKED by his political enemies,
who brought libel suits for many hum
dTedS of thousands of dollars against him.
but he won easily in the courts Since
then he has been a powerful political fac
tor in Hudson county. and his course has
been signally Endorsed by Governor Voor-
heeS.
The colonel, whose title comes from APP
pointment on the staff of Governor
Griggs, lives in one of the show places of
the state directly opposite New York
City on the crest of the Palisades The
family estate comprises more than 5000
acres. it is probably the costliest farm in
America. The land is worth in the neigh
borhood of $5O00.000 for building purposes.
After his graduation from Yale in 1886
Colonel Phelps began active Newspaper
work as a reporter on the World at New
York Later he became an editorial writ
er on the Mail and Express. and after
ing editor on the same paper.
Once. while on the World staff. he was
sent TO report the wedding of the daugh-
ter of a Wall street man recently from
the west. The reporters Were met at the
front door by a trained servant, who
quickly separated them from the guests
and led them to the hosts private room.
where the banker met them in person and
gave them typewriter slips containing
the information they We're sent for Then
champagne was opened and the banker
took some cigars from a drawer in his
desk.
Have one" he said to Phelps. They're
genuine conchas. l import them myself"
Thanks said. Phelps pleasantly as
he took the cigar. Have one of mine.
They're real ascura maduras."
