A SILENT ESSENTIAL.

Oh. the man who pays the taxes-he's the poor
forgotten elf
Whose biography must inger on oblivi0n'S dusty
shelf!
There are pomp and celebration, there are postry
and song,
But the man who pays the taxes fingers out
among the throng.
Nobody asks about him, and nobody prints his
name;
He never getS blast when people sound the
trump Of fame
There's glitter and there's glory, plaudits echo
ing far and near,
But the man who pays the taxes never gets dn-
a gle cheer.
There's q big, resounding whistle on the engine
when it tolls; -
None thinks about the water as 1t bubbles and it
boils.
There is buzz and there Is hustle, and the people
love to gaze
As the prodigy goes onward in its unreEisted
ways.
We quite forget, while watching all the beauty Of
the scheme,
That somewhere out OF sight is pent the mighty
force Of steam;
But despite this lack Of splendor tits agreed by
men OF wit
That if the steam were wanting the machinery
would quit.

The selection of Stephen A. Flaher-
ty by the recent judicial convention
at Morris, as the republican candi-
date for Judge of the 10th judicial
district, is a particularly happy
choice. Mr.. FIaherty is perhaps the
most popular attorney in the district,
and has many warm friends all over
the district who will use their best
endeavors to secure his election. He
is man of the people, having risen
by his own efforts and natural ability
and if elected, the 18th district will
have an able successor to Judge
Brown-Clinton Advocate.

A FEW years ago GovernorRoosevelt
who las just been nominated for vice
president by the republicans, wrote
an article for the Review Of Reviews
on the office of vice-president. The
following is an interesting extract
from the article: "The -presi-
dent should, so far as possible, re-
present the same principles and
views which have secured the nomi-
nation and election of the President,
and he should be a man standing
we'll in the councils of the party,
trusted by his fellow party leaders,
and able, in the event Of any accident
TO his chief, to take up the work of
the latter just where it was left........
One sure way to secure this desired
result would undoubtedly be to in
crease the power of the Vice-Presi-
dent. He shonld always be a oman
who would consulted by the Presj-
dent on every great party question.
It would be yery we'll if he were
given seat in the cabinet. It
might be we'll, if in addition to his
vote in the event of tie. he should
be given a vote on ordinary occasions
and perchance on occasions voice
in the debates"

Filled but with WEAKNESS, doubt and regretI
Can't you come back to me, for tonight only

And sing, t'Little brother,

Mother, oh, mother, of old l had never
One wish denied me nor trouble to fret;
Now-must 1 cry out all vainly forever,
Mother, sweet mother,
Oh, sing, 'Little brother,

Leave me in darkness, with eyes ever wet
And never the hope of meeting tomorrow?
Answer me, mother,
And sing, 'Iittle brother,

The average newspaper man is usus
ally about as quick witted as the next
one. This was pretty well illustrated
when the Chicago Record was placing
it's foreign correspondents. George AIDE
was sent abroad by Victor 3. Lawson
for that purpose. AIDE did all right
until he got into Servia. There he
found all the newspaper men in Jail
for political offenses. He was in a.

-Four years ago the popullsts nom
mated Tom Watson for vice president
and the democrats turned him down.
This year the populists nominated
Charley Towne and again the demo
Gratis kicked him off the ticket and
substituted Stevenson, of Illinois, the
tail end of Grover Cleveland's admin
istration, and yet the self constituted
populist leaders continue to try and
drag the rank and file of the party
along after them by shouting that
the populist party is still a great and
distinct organization, but that this is
fusion. What rot. From remarks
frequently heard since the Kansas
City convention it is evident that
many populists are getting their eyes
opened and are beginning to realize
that their organization is being used
simply to catch votes for the demo-
cratic candidates. Towne will now
decline to accept the Sioux Falls
nomination and populist voters WILDE
told to support the democratic nomi-
nees, Bryan and Stevenson, but
many of them have reached the point
where they refuse to be driven into
the democratic party and will cast
their votes for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. That this is true anyone can
ascertain who will take the trouble
to enquire, and this rapidly increas-
ing spirit of dissatisfaction will result
in thousands of voters returning to
the republican party this fall who
identified themselves with the popu-
lists for years past.

4 NUTRIENT 4 COMMENT
~

Generally through combine OF
"you vote for me and I'll vote for
you" arrangements some one or more
of worthless incompetents get their
names inserted as candidates for
office on the winning ticket, and the
party electing them has to suffer dis
grace for it. The republican party
this year in this state does not have
to vote for ''any old thing" Its
candidates state and national, are
men whom it will be an honor to
elect. The most of them have been
tried and found worthy and will en-
noble the position they fill and the
party that shall choose them. And
having no Benedict Arnold in power
to betray it's cause, and no political
sore heads to breed dissentions in the
party ranks, there is no good reason
why the old time republican MAORI
ties, 80 long in vogue, previous to
two years ago, may not be counted
this fall.-Glencoe Register.

senate of Arkansas in 1873, and was

A Clean Campaign.

Now that the Democrats have made
their nominations and the candidates
are known personally to be good,
clean men, why not, Republicans and
Democrats alike conduct clean cam
paign. It is admitted on all sides
that the men put up for president
and vice7president by all parties are
above reproach, The point at issue
is the platform of principles they
stand on. Let the battle be waged
on that In the early days of the
republic, when politicians had no
platform to hold fast to, they of
necessity became personal in their
campaigns, and very often men vim
dictated their honor in resort to
arms at SO many PAGES apart.
It is principle we are striving for.
It is for the people Of the country to
read all the platforms and then
weigh carefully what they promise
and the reasonableness Of their being
lived up to. This is a duty every
Ameaican owes to himself and his
children, Cast a vote after thinking
seriously over the Consequences,
should your vote be cast on the side
that wins. The responsibility of
casting vote cannot be too strongly
impressed on the minds Of the multi
tuds Of young men who come of age
each four years. We would exhort
them to study well the principles
underlying the platform, weigh them
in the balance, and after sitting
them, vote as you see the light. A
ballot especially on national issues
should never be carelessly cast

MASS MEETING TO BE HELD IN FAVOR OF EIGHT

The prevailing rate of wages law occupied much
the time of the meeting of the Central Federated
Union, In University Settlement Hall, yesterday
afternoon One speaker denounced several mem
bers Of Tammany Hall and declared that, il his
opinion. all Commissioners were fakirs. He made
especial reference Commissioner Nagle of the
Street Cleaning Department. He said that Maggie,
thought would treat the employees of the
Department well when he first took office. but it
now appeared that he controlled by his deputy,
Captain Gibson.
Delegate DAILY afterward moved that the Central
Federated Union hold a mass meeting place on
record all the State Senators and Assemblymen
who were opposed to the street cleaners and fire
mems eight hour bill and other labor bills. He de-
clared it infamous that Commissioner Scannell
had gagged the fremen. A committee finally
appointed to arrange for mass meeting, to be held
in the Grand Central Palace Friday night.
Delegate Archibald made report behalf of the

him that the Metal Lathers Union was "scab'

members OF the Sheet Metal Workers Union.
The motion would have been rushed through had
not Delegate Lord interposed He declared that
the Metal Lathers' Union all right-that 1t was

immediately caused a big Tunpus among the dele
