Why Are Some Vulgar and others
Aristocratics
Why do we respect some vegetables
and despise others? The bean is a
graceful, confiding, engaging vine, but
you never can put beans into poetry or
into the highest kind of prose. There
is no dignity in the bean.
Corn-which in my garden grows
alongside the bean, and. so far as can
see, with no affectation of superiority
is, however, the child of song. 1t
waves in all literature. But mix it with
beans, and it's high. tone is gone. Sue
cotash is vulgar; it is the bean in it.
The bean is vulgar vegetable. with,
out culture or any flavor of high socie
ty among vegetables.
Then there is the cucumber. like so
many people. good for nothing when it
is ripe, and the wildness has gone out
of it. How inferior to the melon. which
grows upon a similar vine! The Gu
cumber is sort of low comedian in
company where the melon is a minor
gentleman.
The lettuce is to me most interest
ing study. Lettuce is like conversation:
it must be fresh and crisp. so sparkling
that you scarcely notice the bitter in it.
Lettuce. like most takers. though. is
apt to run rapidly to seed.
Blessed is that sort which comes to
head. and so remains-like few peo-
pie / know-growing more solid and
satisfactory and tender and whittier at
the center. Ill
Lettuce. like conversation, requires "a
good deal of oil. to avoid friction and
keep the company smooth: pinch Of
Attic salt a dash of pepper. mustard
and vinegar but SO mixed that you
will notice 20 sharp contrasts, and q
trifie of sugcr.
I feel that | an, in the best society
when I am with lettuce. 1t is in the
most select vegetable circle.-Charles

the Operators.
HAZLEToN, Pa, Oct. 9.-President
Mitchell refused to say anything about
what the convention would decide to
do in the matter of the 10 per cent net
increase. Neither would he anticipate
what business other than that relating
to the advance in wages would be
brought before the delegates. 1t is not
unlikely that the adjustment OF the
sliding scale will come in for some con.
sideration. None OF the labor leaders
here will publicly say whether the in.
crease will be accepted or rejected but
there is a strong belief that the men in
convention will vote to go back to
work.
Now that the convention is GER
tainty, there is feeling OF relief in the
entire region and it is confidently ex-
pected that week will see the mine
workers going back to the mines.

Washington, April 19.-The treasury

chief of the issue division of Treas

on the island and the exchange there
for of American money
It is estimated there are 100000
pieces of silver and other metallic cur
reney in the island and now In circula-

lion pesos. Congress has decided that
the exchange shall be made on the ba-
sis of sixty cents for the pesos About

first of next The money which they
will use in making the exchange will
be taken to Porto Rico IN an army
transport and the Porto Rican money

up and recoined. The exchange will be
made largely through the Porto Rican
banking and business institutions 1t

not go out with arms and so did not

NEW KIND OF BOSSIsM.
Letter of Suggestion to J.K. Hudson
From A. h. Vance.

The question of bossism, which has been
the source Of considerable political strife
during the past six months, is one which
promises to produce additional and far
reaching complications in the Republican
party before the present campaign in the
state ends.
in a quiet sort of a way, but the recent
arraignment of A. K. Wilson by J. K
Hudson has stirred up hornets nest be-
cause II was demanded that wilson
should be defeated for representative be-
cause he was against Curtis for congress.
A letter written by A II. Vance Of this
city, in reply to the published statements
concerning Mr.. Wilson, has not yet been
published, although it was addressed to
General Hudson in his officiaI canacit1-
This letter reflects the sentiment of some
of the Shawnee county Republicans. It
Editor of the Capital:
The editorial in the Capital this morning
with references to the Wilson candidacy
for representative is somewhat q surprise
to me. l do not know what Mr. Wilson. 3
opinion. was with regard to Charles Cur
It's candidacy; whether he was for him
or against him.
1 do know there was no opposition to
Mr. Curtis in this county. / know also
that the Capital made a. fight on Leland
on the ground that he was a. political boss
and that no man dare be a candidate for
office without first getting the consent Of
Mr.. Leland.
l know that Curtis canvass was also
made on these grounds, denouncing Le-
land, also as a boss.
We are now informed by the Capital
that Mr. Wilson should be defeated for
representative because he was not for
Curtis.
If this isn't bossism pure, simple and
unadulterated, don't know what politi-
cal bOssism is.
If this is not an attempt to put the boss
collar on the voter. then do not under
stand what political boss means
What's the difference between the Le-
land gang and the Curtis gang2
Is it possible that the qualification for
office in this county is determined by
whether a man is a supporter of Charles
Curtis or not2
This is bossism in its most offensive
sense and 1 for one protest and denounce
it. The position of the Capital is incon-
sistent. Yours, A. H. VANCE
This communication was intended for
publication in reply to the Capitals ut
terances, but the letter has been sup

STARTED A FIGHT,
Delegates to Alabama Republi-
can Convention Shoot
Before an Organization Could Be
Effected.
Governor Put Them Out of
State House and Grounds.

Montgomery, Ala. April ia row
among the delegates to the Republican
convention started before the body had
been called to order today. After a
scene of great excitement accompanied
by some shooting in which one man
was seriously hurt the governor clear
ed both factions out of the state house
building and grounds.
The convention was scheduled to
meet at II o'clock but a rule for the ad-
mission of only uncontested delegates
caused confusion and delay. CASTOR
Scott, of Montgomery, a follower of
State Chairman Vaughn, was at the
rear door guarding it when Moragne, of
EtOwah county, who had been appoint
ed sergeant at arms by a majority of
the executive committee demanded ad-
mission and was refused. The caused a
war of words and MOragne shot Scott
once in the thumb, once in the breast
and one shot went wild. Scott made no
effort to shoot. This started a great up
roar. Moragne was taken to the COVER
nOr'S Office, where he was when Taylor
Scott, a brother of the wounded man,
ran to the outside door of the COVER
nor's Office and fired two shots down the
! hall. but hit no one. He was stopped
and quieted by bystanders.
There is bitter factional fight between
the followers of State Chairman Vaughn
and their opponents led by Bingham.
All efforts to harmonize under the pro-
gramme arranged at Washington by
Secretary Dick, of the national COM
mittee has failed, the committee of 20
failing to agree.
The Republicans took possession of
the state house and the Vaughn faction
through the chairman of the state COM
mittee took possession of the hall of the
| house of representatives and entrances
to the hal were strongly guarded.
After the state house had been closed
! to them the Bingham faction went to
Dorsett hall and the Vaughn side to the
auditorium, and two conventions were
] opened.

Astoria, B. c.. April 1s.-The steamer
Miles arrived last night from Kobe with
1'2OO japanese immigrants, majority

The present Importation of Japanese
10 Puget Sound has reached unprece-

afioat headed this way. During the
month of April, $500 Japanese have
been landed in Puget Sound ports and
British Columbia, and of the men land
ed in the latter ports fully two-thirds
md their way across the border.
Ihe reason of the present rush is that
the japanese are leaving their native
land in consequence of the reported i'm
mlnence of war between Japan and Rus
sia, and that the closing of the gates of
Hawaii has diverted the stream of Jap
anese this way. The rush will end as

Independent Concern Advances Price
on Ore.

Cripple Greek, Col, April 19.-Circular
letters from the Philadelphia Smelter at
Pueblo have been received by mine and
sampler managers offerings to take Grip
pie Greek ores at the old rate Twenty
dollars an ounce will be paid for the gold
and a treatment charge on contract ore
of from 50 to $40, is offered, and on other
ores not under contract an advance of 81
a ton will be charged. It is the general
belief that the smelter trust will be COM
PEELED to meet this rate and that the
mill owners will also advance the price
for gold and reduce the treatment
charges.
The .smelter trust is now paying only
$3.50 for gold. This means a. heavy loss
to such shippers as the Isabella, Portland
Strattons, Independence and scores of
other mines that have been shipping high
grade ore that runs all the way from
10 to 400 ounces a ton in carload lots.
