"Sockless" one could not be found except at convention time was because he tabooed the hotels and put up in an out-of- the-way boarding house. The last experience the "Sockless one had with a hotel was in Sioux Falls. He arrived there on the day before the Populist Convention met, and, going to the Cataract House, registered. After he had registered he said to the gen tlemanly clerk:
 q want to get my dinner; what will it cost?"
 "Seventy-five cents, MT. Simpson," re- piled the clerk
 Holy Mosesr' exclaimed Simpson. What will it cost to take my name off the register?"
 Fifty cents," said the clerk, without ever cracking a smile, and the "Sockless" one threw down a half-dollar and went out of the hotel. He wanted to get plank in the Populist platform denouncing hotels generally, but the Populists would not have it. The "Sockless' one, however has never forgotten the hotels and never will.

Control of the Next House.

Much interest is taken by acute political observers in the control of the next House of Representatives. The Republican ma jority in the present House is sixteen and this was In part obtained by seating MT. Aldrich of this state, MT. Wise of Virginia, and MT. Pearson of North Carolina. Simi- lar partizan acts will be repeated if the Republicans gain control of the House.
 Twelve Republicans and thirteen Demo- crats of the present House were elected by majorities of less than 1000. The Demo- cratic members whose majorities were small are Jett of Illinois, 725; Turner of Kentucky, 56S; Gilbert of Kentucky, S41; Denny of Maryland, 596 Taylor of Massa- chusetts, 159; Scudder of New York, 40; Glynn of New York, 557; Thomas of North Carolina, 1S9; Lentz of Ohio, TOP; Gaston 2 of Pennsylvania, 341, and Johnston of West Virginia, 765. Nearly all of these men live in districts that are normally Democratic, and in which heavy Democratic vote will be cast this year. No fear of losses in these districts is entertained.
 le 1OeIliOCIdlS llope tO carry uiSlilCl now represented by MT. Pugh of Kentucky. He was elected by 10 majority; MT. Baker of Maryland had a majority of 40 ,and Mir Wachter of that state 132 majority, both Republicans. Both will be succeeded by Democrats. MT. Needham of California carried a district usually Democratic by 11S majority, and it is not believed he can repeat the task. MT. Paris of Indiana, ele ted by 252 votes, is representing a dis jet normally Democratic.
 There are reasons for thinking that the next House may be Democratic and the closeness of the struggle renders it mpor- tant that no gap be left down. Especially important is it that the Fourth district in this state be placed beyond he reach of the seat grabbers by eecting a man the Repub- lcans dare not unseat-by electing a man who will carry the white counties of the district by such votes that any attempt to unseat him would be barefaced robbery which he would mercilessly expose The Fourth district has a duty to perform to the rest of the Democrats of the state.

Many Tickets in the Field.

The Presidential nominations have been made, and the noter certainly cannot com plain that he has limited choice this year. We add list of the entries
 Republican, William Mckinley and Theo- dore Roosevelt.
 Democratic, William J. Bryan and A E. Stevenson.
 Populist, William J. Bryan and Charles A. Towne
 Silver Republican, William J. Bryan and A. E. Stevenson.
 Prohibition, John c. Wooley of Illinois, and H. B. Metealf of Rhode Island.
 Populist (middle-of- -the-road), Wharton Barker of Pennsylvania and 1gnatius Don nelly of Minnesota.
 United Christian, Rev. F. E. Clark of Massachusetts and Rev. Charles M. Shel- dondon of Kansas
 Socialist Labor John Hartman of Cali fornia ana Max S. Hayes of Ohio.
 Social Democrat, Eugene V. Debs of Indi- ana and Job Hartman of California.
 De Leon Socialist J. F. Maloney of Mas sachusetts and Valentine Remmill of Penn sylvania.
 The gold Democrats and the anti-im- perialistic Republicans may add two more will, and we may safely say that the fore going list will not be increased.
 Almost every shade of opinion can find a voice in one of the numerous tickets but the chances are that the eccentric vote will be light Votes cast outside of the two great parties of the country are votes thrown away. They are considered under the general head scattering" It is diff- cult to say what induces men to throw away their votes when by choosing between the two great parties that govern the coun- try they could wield an influence and gain some of the good they profess to seek; for there is no man who does not have a choice sidered.

Florida Times Union and Citizen.
 The Courier-Journal wants a Kentuckian of the old breed, all wool and a yard wide, but would the average Kentuckian support him now? Does not Colonel Watterson know in his heart that the "old breed is not dead" that numbers of him finger in sequestered places, lonely and forlorn, who would gladly respond to an authoritative call for him? Is 1t not true that he some- times offers himself to the public and is straightway turned down for the shrewd, interruptions son of today, who knows what he wants and cares little enough how he gets it? It is the majority that has changed-there is no call for the old kind. Whether Democrat or Republican, the man for the time has come, but the man of the other time has not yet disappeared. But the is always with us-the other must be searched for, and he will soon disappear, like the buffalo What would we do with him if he came, except shut him in a glass case and charge admittance for a sight of the curiosity? How would Watterson do?

 "The last name upon the last line of the last scroll of the roll had been called, and we who had kept tally knew that the great est purpose of the Democratic party had been defeated by Democrats. Not a mortal moved not a mortal seemed to have breath. Carlisle arose from the historic Speakers chair, the proudest place but one in the republic. His tall form seemed never so tall, and 1t became rigid as pillar of steel. His white face was deadly white, and it never so powerfully delineated the master ing and masterful passions of the man.

 Fire was very nearly damaging the great battleship Alabama, now at Cramps yard, Philadelphia; and the renewed attention of the country to that proud vessel should make Alabamians feel very miSerably ashamed of themselves. With the praise worthy exception of a donation from MT. T. c. King of Huntsville and most com mendable efforts by newspaper workers of Mobile, nothing has been done towards procuring a suitable gift from Alabamians to the U. s. s. Alabama! This shameful truth becomes more shameful every day as the time approaches for the Alabama to go into commission and begin the work of defending the old flag that for more than bq hraVed the battle and the breeze. Alabamas history is nobly proud; but Alabamians are no prouder of it than they are of empty beer kegs. Alas, alas!
 The Dust Devil held high carnival in Bir- mingham yesterday evening. The densest, dustiest dust storm that ever ragged in the dustiest dusty town between the seas ragged at half past o'clock. Half gale blew up great black clouds of the air from the south, and also blew up great black clouds of the streets, and this town had a rare lesson in how to keep dirty. The air be- came almost as dark as night and after the wind and dust fell, fell rain.
 MT. R. A Brantley, a leading Atlantian, who has been spending a week in town looking after private property interests, was joined at the Morris yesterday by Mrs. Brantley and her daughter, beautiful little Miss Linn. Mrs. Brantley was the widow of the lamented Edward Linn of this city.
 
 Hon. H. Austill of Mobile, some time chancellor of the state and subsequently, one of the strongest members of the gem eral assembly, was in town yesterday.
 r. L. Morgane of Gadsden and Warren F. Dent of Montgomery are at the Morris.

FACES

By Walt Whitman. Sauntering the pavement or riding the countrybyroad--lo such faces! Faces of friendship, precision, caution. suaVity, idealty; The spiritual president face--the always welcome common, benevolent face The face of the singing of music = the grand faces of natural lawyers and judges broad at the back-top; The faces of hunters and fishers, bulged at the brows--the shaved, blanched faces of orthodox citizens; The pure, eXtravagant, yearnng, question: ing artists face; The ugly face of some beautiful soul, the handsome, detested or despised face; The sacred faces of infants, the illuminated face of the mother of many children The face of an amour, the face of venera- tion;
 The face as or dream the face of an im- mobile rock; The face withdrawn of its good and bad, castrated face.
  Sauntering the pavement thus, or crossing the ceaseless ferry, faces and faces and faces; I see them, and complain not, and am con tent with all. Do you suppose I could be content with all if l thought them their own finale? These faces bear testimony slumbering or awake; They show their descent from the Master himself. Of the word I have spoken I except not one-red, white, black, are all sdeifc; In each house is the ovum-it comes forth after thousand years. Spots or cracks at the window, do not dis turb me; Tall and sufficient stand behind and make signs to me: -fft I read the promise, and patiently wait Walt Whitman.

WHERE ALL ARE POLITICIANS

From the New York Success
 It was during the silver and gold cam paign of 1896 that an Indiana Congressman came home from a tour of speechmaking for MT. Mckinley. He was glad to get home to his vine-clad cottage; glad to get away from the never-ending discussion of the coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. He wanted to be free from the hated ques- tion for a week at least.
 His 5-year-old girl, winsome and intel ligent miss ran to meet him, leaving her playmate at the gate. This playmate was the 4-year-old daughter of Democratic neighbor, an active politician named Schultz.
 "Oh, papa" said the Congressman S daughter, clasping his neck. q have some thing dreadful to tell you!"
 Why, what is it, my dear?" he replied, tenderly batting her head. You haven't hurt yourself, have you?"
 "Oh, no; it's worse than that"
 Your mamma's all right ain't she?"
 "Yes, yes, but this is something awful I hate to tell you"
 But you must tell me or I shall be frightened. There, there, don't cry; tell me the worst at once"
 The little one dried her eyes, and, bend ing to his ear, whispered, tragically: Baby Schultz is for slver!''

St. Paul Telegram to the St. Louis Repub-
 lie.
 1.-The liquor habit is decreasing among the men, but it Is increasing among wo- men," said Mrs Leonora M. Lake of St. Louis in her lecture on temperance at St. Mary's Hall. Mrs. Lake was introduced by Father Gibbons of St. Marys Church, and spoke for over an hour, her subject be- ing: Why am a Total Abstainer." The lecturer stated that one reason why more men were total abstainers now was be- cause their business interests demanded it. Many business concerns refused to employ a man unless they had sufficient proof that he never touched liquor in any form. On the other hand, many firms that employ women complain, said Mrs Lake, that their employees bring liquor to their work with them. A man at the head of a large fac tory informed the lecturer that it was not uncommon for girls to bring bottles of whisky with them to the factory, hidden away in their stockings.

Religious Liberation in Japan.

Religious toleration did not formerly eX- ist in Japan, where Shintoism and Buddh- ism are the prevailing religions; but in 1873 a change took place in the attitude or the government. and today Christians are as welcome in Japan as any other lot of re- ligionists The country is one Of rehglous toleration whereas Russia is shut as close ly as any country in the Middle Ages was
 In 1873 the shinto and Buddhist priests were deprived of state pay, and since that time there has been no state religion Ill this respect Japan outranks in religious toleration even England In 1876 the Ja- panese government made Sunday day or rest for it's employees. In 1881 all official priests were cut off, and all religions were placed on a common footing before the law, although this had practically been the case since 1S73
 At times there has been some prejudieces in country districts against Christians, but no well-defined riots against them have occurred in thirty years, although before that time prosecutions of native Christ ians had been freuuent. Japans prompt and full acceptance of the best of western methods has been one of the most re- markable events of the present century, and Corea will be fortunate indeed if its districts are handed over to tolerant Japan rather than to intolerant Russia

ESTIMATE OF CHINA's STRENGTH
the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Major A. E. J. Marshall, a British officer who is certainly we'll fitted to speak of the numbers of the Chinese forces, gives the fighting troops at 205,00O and the re- serves under arms at 6S9,OOO Of the fight ing troops, he estimates that 125OOO are what is known as Fighting Braves, 50,000 as the Manchurian Fild Force, 10000 Manchurian irregulars and 10000 discl- plined troops. The Fighting Braves are voluntarily enlisted men, and were the first section of the army to'be drilled in modern foreign style. Their discipline of late years, however, has not been up to the standard The Banner Men, who are in charge of Pekin. are the dirtiest. most ill-disciplined and beggarly lot of bipeds in the whale world>

Fate of the BOers,

r Messrs. Kruger and Steyn had a bit Of political sense they would utilize the Chinese situation for the purpose of pro- curing better terms of settlement than would otherwise be open to them But they have none and the men who sur round them have none and in the end the two republics will simply be absorbed into the great empire on the empires own terms
 Prof. Ambrosa, the Italian philosopher, holds that in the course of three or four generatins the Boers, uniting with all other Afrikanders, all holding common traditions, will be able to achieve their Independence. Such a prophecy Is much too distant to be valuable, and is subject [ at the best to many cross purposes, which may displace it altogether As to what may take place one hundred years from now we are not concerned; the immediate future is all the world will consider

 "Unless MT. Bryan desires the notification made in a western city I should prefer that it be made in some of the large cities of the middle states.
