1t is announced without a smile fro,a
Republican national headquarters that
Marcus A. Hanna, intends to take the
stump for Mckinley and Roosevelt in some

seem as if everything possible was oper-
ating to help the luck of the Nebraska
man. With Roosevelt and Hanna roaming
the West in behalf of and at the expense
of the trusts, the cost of the Democratic
canvass in that section should be very

Again there are rumors afloat to the
effect that Dom Paul. Kruger wants to
quit, and is willing to surrender if Lori
Roberts will promise that he shall not be
sent into exile. One would think that the
British Government could afford to be
lenient to this old enemy, who is not only
sore stricken in years but in health. His
days of politics and plots are past and
gone. 1t would not hurt England to let
him spend the remnant of his life in the
country he loves. To send Kruger to
place like st. Helena, for instance would
look like small and spiteful act, and ex-
pose Lord Salisbury to the harshest kind
of world criticism. Rather let him treat
Kruger and the other Boer leaders as the
United States treated Jefferson Davis,
General Lee, and other prominent Ccnfed-
crates after the civil war Elk post facts
vengeance is very poor business.

Hogg-HaiIeys Row.-A good many
Washingtonians are inclined to believe
that the hot wave under which the whole
country is now sweltering is due to the
mighty contest that is raging in Texas
between the Hon. James Stephen Hogg and
the Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey. gallant
defender of the Constitution. Just what it
is all about is difficult to comprehend 1t
appears that Mr.. Bailey recently has ac-
cumulated a large stock farm, worth some
thing like two hundred thousand dollars
and by some means or other this is now
figuring In the politics of Texas 1t also
seems that the Attorney General OF the
State not long ago permitted the Standard
Oil Company to resume business in Texas
through its Southwestern adjunct. the
Waters Pierce Oil Company. Apparently
the redundant Mr.. Hogg blames Mr. Bailey
with responsibility for the Attorney Cen
erals leniency in this matter, and at the
same time has the hardihood to ask the
great defender of the Constitution to ex-
plain how and why he bought his stock
farm. Nobody on this side of the Red
River IS able to figure out how il hap
pens that Hogg. Bailey the Standard Oil
Company, and a fine stock farm should
thus get mixed up in a terrible muss
Still. the muss is going on in Texas at
ting hotter every day in this region when
it ought to be observing the season by
getting cooler. II shou!l be explained
that while he was running the great State
OF Texas the mighty Hogg had enacted
ar antitrust statute which caught by the
tentacles and held fast, until it howled
in agony. every octopus like the Standard
Oil If a Rockefeller or any OF that iIk
had put foot on Texas soil during those
days 4 sheriff would have nabbed him
and slapped him In Jail. Mr.. Bailey has
more than once in his Congressional career
pointed with pride to the antitrust law
of Texas and the fear thereat OF the
Standard Oil magnates. Washingtonians.
therefore. cannot be made to believe that
Mr.. Bailey has had anything to do with
releasing the tentacles of the octopus In
his State Still, the veracious Mr. Hogg
is breathing out some curious hints on this
point. and the Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey
as gallant a knight as ever shivered lance
in defence of the cause, is being called
upon to tell why and how he came into
possession OF a fire stock farm. Texans
in this city look for nothing less than
bloodshed before the discussion is dropped

Jersey Wanderers RcturninG.-Re-
ports from New jersey, which four years
ago was a stronghold of the Gold Demo-
cratic boilers. indicate that the wanderers
are coming home in large bodies. The re-
turn OF the Hon. Allen L. McDermott. a
State Senator, means that hundreds of his
supporters in Hudson and adjoining coun-
ties will follow him back to the Demo-
cratic household Mr.. McDermott was a
delegate to the Chicago Convention In 1896
and walked out with the boilers when the
free silver plank was adopted. To prove
his consistency. he soon afterward re-
fused a nomination for Congress because
he would not stand on the national plat
form Of the party. Senator MeDermott
recognizes imperialism as the paramount
issue OF this campaign, and accordingly
has announced his intention to support
Bryan and Stevenson to the limit of his in
fuence. 1T is folly" declares McDer-
mott. Ito talk about the intention of our

If there no trusts, as is claimed by

II. Weeks in defence of the trusts. The
entire book was written to prove that
the trusts are good things and have come
to stay, and the author quotes approx
lngly Attorney General Griggs' declara-
ton that the federal government cannot
control the trusts, much less DESTROY
them, and that anti trust legislation
must come from the several states. The

are rebels, hence everyone who does not
agree with the republican party must be
