again unless Sullivan defeats him for the

nomination for mayor, and would or
dinarily be satisfactory to certain fnfiu-

already has all of these hooked on, so
that the best that remains for Shepard

THAT Providence is generally on the
side of the big battalions,' is favorite
quotation of Cecil Rhodes. My battal-
ions, he says, are pounds sterling.
I'm securing these pounds sterling
the genius of Cecil Rhodes is pre-emi-
nent. He is master of finance; the
more long-headed and shrewder the man
the more readily can Rhodes separate
him from his money. To show what
capital he can command without pay
ing the shareholders a cent dividend,
need only state that two years ago the
British South African Chartered COM
pany had expended $25, 000,0 900 in Rhodesia
that the British taxpayer had not con-
tributed a farthing toward this, and that
since its establishment the chartered COM
pany has earned no money for It's share
holders. He handles millions as another
would hundreds, and is not fastidious
how he gets them. When treasurer gen.
eral of Cape Colony, at the age of TWEEN
ty-eight, Gen. Gordon met Rhodes and
told him of his refusing roomful of gold
offered by the emperor of China for
crushing the TAPPING rebellion. oh, what
a wasted opportunity! exclaimed Rhodes
4 would have taken as many roomfuls
as could have got
The bigger the aim the more money
you need is his motto, and Rhodes is
essentially a man of big endeavors. He
first corralled the diamond output of the
world, and made humanity pay his price
for love or ornament. Then he annexed
100000 square miles of valuable land to
the English empire, and finally attempt
ed to confscate the richest gold mines
on earth, and, incidentally, paint the
South African Republican British red.
These three jobs required untold sums.

The popular idea around town that
nomination on the Democratic ticket this
spring means an election may account
for the fact that there are number of
men who are willing to head the ticket.
Dr. E. H. Whitcomb has been III the
field for a long time, that is, his friends
have been talking him up, and there is no
doubt but what he has a large number
of friends in the city. In fact, it is
said his has become the most aggressive
campaign up to this time. His friends
are already framing up delegates to the
convention from the list of delegates who
attended the last convention. This
work, too, is not confined to any one
ward, but wherever there is a local
leader known to be friendly to the
Eighth ward physician. Aid. Matt Bantz
has also openly given it out that he
would accept the nomination and make
the race or his record in the board
turing the last two years Like DR..
Whitcomb, he comes from the Eighth
ward, and would likely divide the dele
cation with Whitcomb. J. j. Parker
has told a number of people, so the
Globe is informed, that he would be
pleased to make the race this spring, but
to what extent he has pushed his desire
is not yet apparent. Humphrey Barton
has been urged to make the race for
the nomination. Up to the present Mr..
Barton has rot fully determined to make
the struggle, which it seems would be
necessary to get there. His position as
the head of the city and county organi-
cation has given him prominence as a
party man. Still his position does not
help him in any way except as individual
members of the organization might be
disposed to support him. The sentiment
of the organization is that Mr.. Barton
is entitled to a good deal of considera-
ton at the hands of the local party at
some future time. Whether Or not this
is the time to seek that something is for
Mr.. Barton and his advisers to decide.
Their are a number of Democrats still
who would like to see Hon. ]. w. Lusk
placed at the head of the ticket, ard
the name of Postmaster Smith is not
lnfrequently heard in connection with
mayoralty talk.
Anthony Yoerg Jr. would like to try
the running with McCardy again this
spring. He thinks he could "get inside
the money this time" How hard he
purposes to work for the nomination re-
mains to be seen. Edward Ekman, who
also ran against McCardy, and split the
Democratic vote with Yoerg last year,
would also like to go it alone with the
present comptroller. And, as the G O b e
has heretofore mentioned, John Rogers

nomination.
