Captivating a Queen.

1t was by his graceful execution Of
dance that young Hatton first captfvated
the heart of Queen Elizabeth, says Ed
ward Scott in his book on Dancing in
An Ages" He had been brought UP to
the law and entered court, as his enemy.
Sir John Perrot, used to say, by the
gaillarde." as his first appearance there
was on the occasion of a mask ball, and
her majesty was so struck by his good
looks and activity that she made him one
of her band of pensioners, who were con-
sidered the landsomest men in England.
1t is said that the favors which the viz
gin monarch extended to her new favor
fte excited the jealousy of the whole
court especially that OF the earl of
Leicester. who, thinking to deprecate the
accomplishments of the young lawyer,
offered to introduce to Elizabeths notice
a professional dancer whose saltatory
performances were considered far more
wonderful than Hattons. To this sug-
gestion. however. the royal lady, with

AUTUMN WEATHER AT LAST.

Autumn is here at last in all her
glory. Elbowed aside for a. little while
by winter struggling to get in ahead
Of his turn, we almost despaired of
having the sun and frost, the crisp
morning air and hazy views, the bril-
liant colors on the mountains, the de-
lightful moonlight nights that autumn
brings.
But nature is taking her regular
course in spite of winters unseemly
haste, and we are going to have a real
autumn after all. The country, with
the exception of the roadways, is
beautiful. The city is full of the signs
of fall. The red and yellow leaves are
floating from the trees on every breeze
like mammoth tinted drops of snow.
The cutters are filling with natures
old clothes, the discarded robes of sum-
mer; the bitches are choking up with
sere and faded leaves; the fillsides look
bare and brown and the trees are al
most shivering in their nakedness.
One of the certain signs of fall is the
appearance of wraps and heavier hats
with the women and overcoats over the
arms of the men. OF mornings and
evenings the coats are buttoned trigly
up and the step and eye betrays no
signs Of summers lassitude.
The streets have taken on a different
appearance, not only on account of the
different line of displays in windows
where an attempt is made to keep pace
with the season. but in the ever flow
ing stream of restless humanity. True,
we do not see the winters crowds, the
jostling. happy, eager mass that
throngs the streets by night and day
when the holidays are drawing near,
or afterwards when there is snow and
the sound of the bells sends JOY tingling
through the veins; but the streets have
lost the hot, dust-laden air, the dancing
heat, the desolate, almost deserted look
of summer time.
People are no longer signing to escape
to the mountains or pass their days in
the lake; they no longer wear the Woe
begone look so uncomfortable to gaze
upon, imagining their lot is hard be-
cause they are compelled to stay in the
city and toll and spin while others are
going to the coast, TO the national parks
or where they will. The men and
women with whom the streets are filled
these days hold up their heads and feel
that they are glad to live in such a
glorious climate and in such a promis
ing region. The ones who went away
for the summer are glad to get back
and the ones who stayed at home no
longer have any desire to go away. The
season brings the wanderers home and
contentment to all alike. 1t is the time
of the year for family reunions, fire
side gatherings, political meetings, and
social revivals. 1t is anything but the
melancholy season over which poets
shed their tears.

partisan wars are being waged at. the
expense of the whole nation to distract
attention from the greater enemies to
our liberties here at home.
When Alger was first denounced for
his Indifference and incompetency the
ffre-eaters Of ReQublicanism arose
from their downy beds and shouted
Treason" When the mismanagenen
Of the army was exposed, Hanna gave
the cue to his henchmen when he said,
Things like that are for po-
pointed out as blatherskite
ana a blackguard the parasites
were wild over the "copperheadsr who
dared to point the finger OF scorn at
an officer high in his majesty's SER
vice. When the volunteers We're de-
tanned against the law and against
Uhefr viii after the expiration of their
terms of enlistment, pie hunters were
violent in their denunciation of all Who
favored their return before the Fill
pinOs were conquered. And to show
how the public was hoodwinked by abe
censorship at Washington as we'll as by
that at Manila there was a message
sent to the war department last March
which read: Volunteers unwilling to
re-enlist, but willing to remain till
transports arrive" As given out by
the administration it read; "Volun-
teers willing to rernain." The original
dispatch is on file in the Office Of the
secretary of war today, and the other
went to the people. In six months
the volunteers were permitted to re-
turn.
No Democrat is opposed to war; it is
the dilly-dallying that Mckinley calls
war to which, regardless of party, all
true patriots object. 1t is the need
less slaughter, the inexplicable delays,
the want of tact, the persistence with
which incompetents are kept in charge
of affairs, and the erratic and unsatis-
factory campaign carried on by Otis.
The volunteers Kissed his name when
ever it was mentioned; military au-
thorities generally are puzzled at his
tactics and administration heelers are
kept busy apologizing for his mis-
takes
Who wants to see this war drag along
in this way? No Democrat. Who
wants the army withdrawn from Luz
zon? No Democrat. Edward Atkinson
and Professor Laughlin were two of the
ablest champions Mckinley had in his
campaign for the presidency. If any
thing was accomplished for his cleo
ton aside from the use of money, these
goldites did it. And they are ready
TO support Mckinley again as against
Bryan in spite of war and expansion.
What newspaper likened Aguinaldo Ito
George Washington and declared that
the Tagal leaders We're fighting in
higher cause when we found them than
our revolutionary forefathers engaged
in? 1t was not Democratic paper
it was the one that is now engaged in
slandering Democracy for the purpose
of exploiting its own peculiar brand
of patriotism. There is a difference be-
tween partisanism and patriotism, be-
tween ranting and actually taking an
interest in the welfare of the republic.

Temporal MuTANTuR.

Verify times change and men change
with them. Only two short years ago
and Gustave H. Backman was solicited
by the self-appointed redeemers of the
city to be their candidate for city re-
corder. The tender of the nomination by
these pseudo patriots was an admis-
sion of Mr. Bacl1man's ability and fit
sense an office-seeker for the non par
tisans snrieked from every street cor
ner their desire to rid the city of pro-
fessional politicians and office-holders.
Obviously they would not have made
such a tender to Mr.. Backman if there
was about him the slightest faint of
the man in politics for money. Since
that time Mr.. Backman was elected city
recorder, an office for which he was
recently nominated by the Democratic
convention. He has served nearly two
years. and in his official capacity has
demonstrated an ability and a devotion
to duty that justify fully the non parti-
san desire two years ago to secure such
a man for their ticket. The affairs of
the recorders office have never been
better administered. Seldom have been
so well conducted.
Mr.. Backman. however, is now
charged with being a chronic office
seeker. Up to the time he declined the
non-partisan patriots unanimous ten
der OF nomination he was high-nlind-
ed citizen, competent for any place, and
fully deserving. But having declined
it he Immediately lost cast, and is now
become a target for abuse from the
very people who were so anxious TO
identify him with their own cause two
years ago because of his possession of
the very attributes they now deny he
possesses.

DEwEY's NARROW ESCAPE.

Il 4
Hanns's Salt Lake mouthpiece IS all
ways making mysterious illusions to
-Agninaldo's local attorney. We have
never heard of any one calling the in
su1'gent chieftain patriot and a Sec
ond Washington fighting in a. cause irl-
finitely higher than the revolution
Washington engaged in except the Salt
Lake Tribune.
1t has likewise tried TO fix the re-
sponsibility for Agutnaldo's presence in
Luzon on Admiralsnewey. 1t has called
attention TO the fact that ne supplied
arms and ammunition to Aguinaldo
and helped him to organize a civil gov
eminent 1t has said:
"Aguinaldo went I'd Manila in Admiral
Dewey's flagship and began his opera
tons with the advice and concurrence
of Admiral Dewey. and lnasmuch as our
miral Dewey did. that made US the allies
of those dusky rebels"
No one knows how soon it will flop
back from Hanna to Aguinaldo as its
model patriot We are looking every
day for it to call Admiral Dewey ''Agui-
naldo's American agent" or paid at
torpey,'' because he carries a cane as
a token of Aguinaldo's friendship, and
because he said to the reporters of the
New York Commercial Advertiser and
Tribune: Il know Aguinaldo we'll; we
used TO be great friends, and are yet,
for that matter" That was a signal for
our gallant contemporary to paw up
a little loose earth and snort fire from
each nostril. But Dewey's popularity
saved him. The crisis passed. 1t was
a wonderful exhibition OF seh-restratnt
on the part of our neighbor and a
most miraculous escape for the ad-
mi-al.
