Col. Henry Watterson is admin
istering some telling blows into the
lines of the enemy. Col. Waiter
son yields a most trenchant pen
and has a way peculiarly his own in
which he exposes the hypocrisy of
the Republicans. The announce
ment that the colonel will be found
in his old place this campaign has
aI.gered the advocates of the trusts
and corporation and these are fond
of saying unkind things of the great
Kentuckian, who, however, is more
than capable of taking care of him
self. In reply to a recent assault
from the Washington Post the col
onel says:
ssThere was time when the editor of the
for party platforms and wasted some prec-
ious moments, that Nigh have been better
given over to his natural rest, upon their
construction. He has reached the conclu-
sion. after much experience and some refec-
ton, that they are the merest springes to
catch woodcocks. If the next National
Democratic platform so-called, should de-
clare the moon to be made of green cheese
it would not disturb his equanimity. 1t
would not even disturb the planetary system.
1t would MT indeed be meant to do SO. Its
purpose would be to corral a few votes about
Oshkosh, kankakee, Kalamazoo and He'll
for-Sartin, decided by the platform makers
to be needed in their business and essential
to the ticket. If Mr.. Bryan be elected pres
ident-no matter what the platform--the
flag will still wave over the Philippine Is
lands, and the money standard of the world
will remain unchanged. The universe
moves on larger lines of thought and action.
The political armament may be lighted by
skyrockets loaded with dynamite But
all the falling sticks of these from time i'm
memorial have not put one single spoke ir
the wheel of the axis which the earth
revolves. Mr. Bryan, the candidate, is in a
sense thing apart. Mr.. Bryan, the presi-
of that great Office; he would have TO rise
to its exigences; he would have call
about him the best men of his party; he
would have to be governed by events; and,
being honest man and young man,
there is not the least likelihood of his run
ming away with himself. His election
would mean a breakup of the close cor
and substitution in room of it of body of
public men, directly sprung from the people,
and, even if no better than the present set,
at the very least less versed in corrupt and
corrupting arts, whilst at the same time it
would rescue the policy of the Federal Gov
eminent from its set purpose to convert the
Era of Expansion into another Era of Re-
spolation, its disregard for liberty and law.
and it's dedication and complete surrender to
the Combine of Trusts and Rings, of which
the Republican party is at once the offspring
and the keeper, and, more than ever, the
embodiment

The members of the Kansas
Women's Press Association, meet
ing in Topeka recently, resolved
against the use of the figure of a
woman in Objectionable advertising.
If this means advertisements of
union suits, the men will JOIN in
urging the reform. a woman's fig
ure in a union suit looks a good
deal worse than if she were taken in
the altogether. The picture of
.Faith Clinging to the Cross" would
pull down the Christian religion if
she were clad in a union suit. The
fact is, women without clothes are
not pretty. Dry goods make the
women handsome. We hope the
Women's Press Association will next
attack dry goods stores showing
night gowns on female wax figures.

Senator Jno.'T Morgan has de-
feated Gov. Johnston in Alabama.
Senator Morgan is one of the ablest
men in the Senate and his defeat by
Johnston would have been unfortu-
nate for the South. Morgan has
long ago taken rank among the
brainiest public men in the United
States and his defeat by Johnston,
. man of not much ability, would
have been a sad commentary upon
the electorate of Alabama. 1t was
feared that the skill of Johnston as
q political leader would have proved
to powerful to be overcome by the
friends of the venerable senator.
Johnston being governor and a
political man,pulator Of experience
it was believed that he woul have
succeeded, but the people rallied
behind their old leader and decided
to give him an opportunity to round
out his great career in the Ameri-
can Senate where his transcendant
ability will continue to shine with
ppdimmed lustre.

In Mondays Times Democrat APP
pears the story of an Adventures
named Leipel who is reported to
have ''worked" the people of New
Iberia, Opelousas and Lafayette to
perfection. The writer of this ex-
traordinary story says that Le'pel
was thought to be very wealthy
man and that he practiced decep-
ton upon a number of citizens of
this town. Mr.. Thos. n. Isacks,
of Opelousas. is given as authority
for the story The people of La
fayette know nothing of Leipel and
his dupes. The story is ridiculously
untrue as far as Lafayette is con-
cerned. Either Mr.. Isacks or the
I'D. reporter has handled the facts
with singular recklessness.

The Democratic victory through
out the State was not unexpected.
1t was not necessary to be close
political observer to see even some
months ago shat the, Caffery move
ment was doomed TO an overwhelm
ing defeat Louisiana is Democratic
to the core. Louisiana is not
only Democratic but it is eternally
opposed to Republicanism. The
majority Of Mr.. Heard is so large
that even the most chronic bowler
of fraud will very likely seek his
hole and cease his perpetual song
for time at least. Mr.. Caffery,
Mr. Sholars and other disgruntled
gentlemen have vainly tried to make
the people believe that there was
violent opposition to the Demo
cracy OF the State. And all they
wanted was fair election and the
rest would be- easy-so they said.
An honest election was held and the
Democracy has won by a tremen
dous majority. Messrs. Caftery and
Sholars have no doubt found out
that they know very little about the
people of Louisiana.

French women religiously cult
vate individuality. You can pass
an entire afternoon on the prone
made in Paris and not see two wo-
men gowned exactly alike. No
matter what is la mode, the artistic
Partisan adopts the styles she Sc
lects to her individual taste and
type, rather than copies them. 1t
is claimed that American women
are less self assertive in this regard,
says L'Art de la Mode. That is
fortunate for the French dress
makers, who can repeat for Aneri-
cans, hundreds of times, a costume
created for some famous leader Of
fashion, regardless Of its fitness for
use.-Daily Picayune.

ADMIRAL DE WEYS CAN-
D/DACY
Post.


To say that Admiral Dewey's
for the presidency has
fallen fat, is to state fact which |
does not necessarily involve a dis
paragement of him or imply popu-
lar forRetfulness of his splendid and
brilliant services to the country.
The truth -, simply. that the Adj
miral has spoken at a time when all
serious men are profoundly occu-
pied with the great questions of the
hour. aud he has spoken without,
the smallest reference to those
questions. The announcement of
his candidacy is interesting, Of
course. Everything connected,
however remotely, with George
Dewey must always be more or less
of a personal matter with the Amer
lean people. But just now the
country is concerned chiefly with
our national future, and individuals
appeal to them only by the stand
ard of the policies and principles
they represent. The people want
to know definitely where candidates
for their suffrage stand as regards
the treatment of Porto Rico, Cuba,
and the Philippines. They want to
know how much longer this miser-
able scandal in the Philippines is to
be maintained; when the nations
solemn pledges as to Cuba shall be
redeemed; in what fashion we pro-
pose to deal with the problems in
Porto Rico. These questions touch
the conscience of the nation. They
stand before all other considerations
at this time. In the tremendous
ferment Of popular anxiety and I'M
easiness, mere individuals are lost
sight of utterly.
Admiral Dewey offers US a re-
spectacle aphorism when he says
that Congress makes the laws and
that presidents must execute them;
| but the American voter is not in the
| frame of mind which will per
NIT him to dismiss his patriotic So
licitudes upon the current of this
placid, anaesthetic theory. He
knows, that while Congress makes
the laws, the president exerts a po.
tent influence upon Congress, and
he demands assurances as to the
manner and the direction in which
this influence will be exerted. The
conditions are far from normal.
The epoch SO gloriously ushered in
by Admiral Dewey at Manila has
not yet fully dawned. Our anxiety
and responsibilities are infinitely
greater to-day than they were two
years ago. The legislation of the
immediate future involves our honor
and welfare as a people, and in
choosing a president next Novem-
Der, we must know exactly in wha,
way and to what extent he will in
spire it. There has been no dimi-
mutton of the country's grateful ad-
miration of Admiral Dewey's mag.
nifcent achievements in 1898. He
is still the one undisputed hero OF
that episode. But other and larger
and more important destinies avail,
US, and we must have knowledge OF
our leaders plans.

A young man once wrote to me
from the country, writes Coils p.
in April Success"
that he would like TO have me get
him a clerkshlP in a store. l wrote
him to come downfall 1 would
get a place for him. He replied
that he did not like to come down
until the place had been secured.
1 told him not to wait for that. SO
he came. The morning after his
arrival in New York, 1 took him to
a large jobbing house and told the
principal man there that l had
brought from the country a boy
who wanted a place. ''What posi-
ton do you want for hnn?" was
asked. I replied that l would like
him made assistant to the chief
porter. The principal said that he
could give him that kind of posi-
ton; but the young man called me
aside and told me he could do bet
ter for himself than to take such a
place, as he had been clerk in
country store a year. "Never mind
that" said I. "Your being in a
country store won't help you. Take
the place 1 have gotten for you,
and do the work better than it has
ever been done BEFORE" He vas
not pleased, but took my advice
and started at wages of about five
dollars a week. and have no doubt
he did the very best he could, for
he was advanced several times in
the course of the year. When he
had been there something less than
year, he came to me and told me
that he had received a proposition
for three years, at thousand dol
hundred and fifty for the second,
| and fifteen hundred dollars for the
third. told him that was very
| good, but not to commit himself
for any such length of time, as 1 be-
lleved there was something better
and higher for him to do, and tina,
he would soon be able to do it; blu,
meanwhile to keep right along as he
was, doing the work they gave him
to do.
Before two years had elapsed he
found better position for himself
elsewhere, and he achieved it by
learning the lesson of beginning a,
the bottom and working up. He
took up the new work in the same
spirit with which he began the old
with the determination to mas,e,
the work and do it better than any,
body else had done it. He has
been steadily going forward year by
year, until to-day he is worth about
| two million dollars.

She Jumped Into the Sea.

New York, Aug. 26.---The
French line steamer EAquitaine
which arrived this morning from
Havre, had a death among the
cabin passengers. Margaret Mine
han, former nun, committed
suicide by jumping overheard at
5 a M, on Aug. %. The alarm
was quickly given, a boat was
lowered and the woman was
picked up but too late TO restore
her to consciousness. A Roman
Cathlic priest among the passen.
gers performed a burial service
over the remains, assisted by a
numbsr of other priests and nuns
who were on board the steamer
and the body was committed to
the sea. A passeger on board
said that the deceased was nun
IN Catholic institution in
France.
During the voyage Miss Mine.
han communicated to some of
her fellow passengers that she
had been nun but her love fer
a young man caused her to leave
the convent and she felt she had
disgraced her family. She said
she was on the way to her broth
er, priest located in Pennsyl
vania.
