The only explanation offered by the de-
tenders of the Rogers administration for
the plumber of the state fair fund and the
dissipation by the Progressively COM
mlssioners of every cent received from all
sources consists in an apologetic admis-
sion of guilt and the old excuse that fills
so many jails--in this case based on abso-
lutte falsehood--that 'the other fellows
did it,"
The explanation is riduculed by the flu
sionists themselves. who generally admit
that the charges made by the Post-lntel-
ligencer. supported as they are by the law
and ample evidence that would be admis-
sble in any court, might better have been
left unanswered. Like most of the ex-
plantations and excuses offered for the
dishonesty and corruption that has pre-
vailed In all state institutions under Rog-
ers' administration, it is a mere tissue Of
transparent falsehoods.

The relief of MafekiEg has all the ele-
ments of a dramatic event. Both the
siege and the resistance have been among
the most notable of modern times. The
place, with British garrison of 100 men
commanded by Colonel Baden-Powell, was
hesieged by a greatly superior Boer force
on the 18th of October, 1899, before the
strategic Importance and might have been
abandoned by the British before ii was

the place being relieved Feb. Is. The siege
of Mafeking, accompanied by much fight
ing and distressing hardships. including as
sault. bombardment, disease and threat
ened starvation, has lasted 215 days. The
British force, reduced to a few hundred,
might have surrendered without weakening
the army or its operations to any appre-
ciable extent. but it held out as a point of
honor. The successful defense of the place
has been largely due to the genius, energy
and resourcefulness of Colonel Baden
Powell, and the result will give him per-
heroes. The final abandonment Of the
siege by the Beers after SO long a struggle
foreshadows the near end of the war.

Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Called Number pleasei to earn her pay.
Before her, numbers, printed small,
Fell down when any one would call.
The Judge took down his office phone.
And made to Maud his wishes known.
For four eleven-forty-four.
Said Maud, as mild as summer seas,
What number did you ask for, please"
Said he. 81 told you twice before,
It's four-eleven- forty-four.'
Said Maud, and you could hear her smile,
"Just hold the phone little WHILE
A weary interval ensued,
The wires hummed an interlude,
And broken bits of talk came DER
The phone, and made the waiter sore.
The wishbone-shaped receiver hook
He seized upon and wildly shook.
Till Maudie's voice he heard once more,
What number are you waiting for?'
The Judge responded with roar,
Its four-eleven-forty- -four"
Serenely Maud made answer then,
THAT line is busy; call again.
The Judge had business late that day,
And so he merely walked away.
But as he walked he shook his head.
And this is what he sadly said:
"Of all the words of tongue or pen.

The Kentucky Republican convention,
held in Louisville on Thursday. was a spir-
tied assembIage of representative men who
made 1t very clear that the Republican
party of that State will make a vigorous
regime. One of the significant features Of
the convention was the speeches of three
men who have. until recently. been Demo-
Gratis. Marmaduke Bowden, brilliant
young lawyer and orator. and Democrat
until 1896. was placed at the head of the
electoral ticket
