Inconsistency.

I0e lrlOune mas OIIen uuT-
ing the campaign insisted that
Col. Joseph Flory, the Republi-
can candidate for governor,
was considerable of Joke, and
that he ought not to be taken
at any time too seriously. 1t
was asserted that he had little
or no sympathy for the work,
ingman, whose especial cham
pion he was attempting to be
for political effect, and that he
was the special pet Of the great
railroad corporations of Missou-
ri. and would be an unsafe man
as governor, and the head of
the state board Of equalization.
1t was shown where he had gone
all over the the country in pri-
vate cars, furnished him by the
railroad companies, and where
he had but to make the order
and such a car would be landed
at the Jefferson City depot for
his use. 1t was pointed out
that the man who used private
cars before the campaign was
on, and a hand.car after his
nomination for governor was in.
consistent and insincere. and it
appears a majority of the peo-
pie of Missouri agree with this
estimate.

day is the following telegram,
which may be of interest to
some OF the down-trodden who

fact that the Nesbit law aided
the powers opposing the city of

remain here several days. after
which they will travel about
through the south -
Col. Flory, it appears, doesn't
relish travelling with ''the
boys" since the election is over.
When he goes even to Hot
Springs, distance of only a
few hundred miles, a private
car is furnished him. Before

Thirteen cannibals from the

the crew of the schooner Mas

the sights of San Fra ncisco.
An arc light sputtered into bus

of the procession and caused a
brief stampede, The party then
went out to the Chutes on a ca

CHINAMAN'S
VIRTUES.

Mr.. w. N. Lovatt. who has just re-
turned from China, where he has lived
for 40 years, has a very high opinion
Of John Chinaman. According to
him, 'eThe Chinaman loves his coun-
try. He Is extremely patriotic. If the
people of some provinces have not yet
heard OF their nations late war with
Japan, it's their ignorance that's to
blame, their lack of communication,
not their lack of patriotism.
"The Chinaman is civilized, decid-
edly. although his civilization is Meth
er, modern nor progressive. And the
Chinaman- is fine fellow personally.

man on the whole, wonderfully honest
in business. He's three times more
honest than the japanese. and three
times more of man generally The
Chinaman is peaceful, law-abiding. In
the majority of Chinese cities murder,
highway robbery or other violence is
extremely rare, considering the size
of the population.
"As for the Chinaman's commercial
honesty, heard Even Cameron, man
