Richmond Times: Those disconsolate
fellows who are preparing to insist that
their candidates made a good fight under
the circumstances may be reminded that
the word circumstances" simply means

Boston Globe: We are proud of our
navy and Jealous of our dignity on the
high seas. But why We should suddenly
need forty new warships. including various
tyres not hitherto built for naval pur-
poses, as contemplated by the National
board of construction at Washington, is
not clear to many people.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Mr. Rockefeller is
reported to be angry with the admiring
Chicago professor who compared his
greatness to that of Shakespeare. Mr..
Rockefeller Is able to hold his own with
his enemies, but he is long headed enough

which a man can receive are those In

New York Herald Ladies Of the Wo-

won on November 6. A very lively tange
has arisen at Kaufman and nearly the
whole county has become involved there
in The Offices OF the county Judge and
superintendent of schools have always
been merged into one in Kaufman county
heretofore. The retiring county Judge, j.
d. Cunningham, was a candidate for re-
election and was opposed by G. NJ. Crum-

offices before named would continue as
one or become separate becarne a heated
issue in the canvass; Cunningham wanted

Last Monday the commissioners court
met to count the returns. Over Crum-

school superintendent a separate Office

candidate and declared, 1t Is stated, that
