Senator Chiffon seems to have weakened
on his resolution to stick to Washington and
his senatorial duties and In consequence he
mas made rush for home. Trusting a cam
paiSn TO ones friends may be all right under
certain circumstances. but there is nothing
counts In politics like getting out among the
boys at the forks OF the creek.-Aransas Pass

| return was the neat rebuke which It at once
administered to those of his indiscret friends

The formula laid down In our religious
department. that man has taken long
| step toward usefulness and happiness when
he learns that he is not REQUIRED to throw
stones at every NANCY cur that barks, ut his
heels Ia one Of tho soundest. We have
learned that q newspaper man must live
strictly by such a formula.--Caldwell News
Chronicle,
The path OF the newspaper man is not one
at best that is stsewn with roses. and II
he worries much about the criticism the ad-
vice. the unappreciatlyeness. the envy. and the
frequent Misrepresentation and injustice
which he meets with on the way he will
oitener fail than succeed in reaching his
goal. The world generally knows the bark
OF cur and counts 1t of little consequence
We are sometimes disturbed by doubts
and tortured by fears for the safety of our
common country. Just suppose Bailey is
defeated for the senate and the people OF
the United States left without single de-
fender of tho constitution and Declaration
Of Independence. Weekly Star
When we begin to grow sarcastic or ironi-

rldicule, we are getting along towards i'm
perialism at a rather lively gait What
ever else may be used against Mr.. Bailey
certainly his defense OF the grand basic prn-
oiples OF our liberties and government will
not be put to his discrcdt by those who
still cling to and love the Republic Of our
forefathers.

has probably dono more to settle the Irish
question than years OF parliamentary discus

| No. Sentimental moves like that are but
temporary in their effects. The Irish ques-

parliament does Ireland full Justice The
queens visit, however, is kindly and
graceful act on her part

Nothing is more certain than that No
living man could defeat Mr.. BRYAN for the
nomination again as matters now stand and
are likely 10 continue to stand until July.
and It would be Illogical and surrender
not to reafiirm the doctrine and principles
for which Mr. Bryan stands and with

Planks NAV be added but none OF tho old
ones will be repudiated in any particular.
