"Will the exhibition be forbidden in

shan't have any pig sticking. but these
two skilled captains are able to give
more of the most fascinating exhibi-
tions to be found, without killing the
bull. For instance, here, in Juarez,
four years ago, q man named Diaz
placed the banderillas in bull from
the bare back of a trained horse. The
exhibition was marvellous and wonder
fully exciting. Fuentes has troop of
twenty-five, with many ferocious select

with this ensemble, he and Minute will
do all sorts of daring and entertaining
things, like, for example, placing the

the bull with only q fan; leaping over

lowered in an coward rush: placing

The Octopus Hunters.

The Octopus hunters who were in
session during the fore part Of this
week at Chicago. had q lively
time tracking the "slimy monster
to his lair" We have before
expressed some curiosity as to
what the lairs Of the octopi were like.
for we must suppose they have lairs
.inasmuch as the enemies Of the money
devil have qualified themselves on that
point. In all Of the proceedings, how
ever, we fail to find any definite de-
scription Of these mysterious places Of
abode, but the proceedings developed
something else OF more Importance, and
that was that the meeting OF these So
called anti-trust disciples was nothing
more than a gathering of the discon-
tented who assaulted capital indis-
criminately, and who were political an
tagonists OF the present administration.
The Populists enjoyed themselves
with the Bryan Democrats, and the An
archIsts stood by to welcome both into
full communion.
Perhaps the most significant feature
Of the gathering was an amendment Of
fered by an Illinois delegate to the re-
port Of tho committee on resolutions.
calling for a repeal Of all laws sus-
tanning the right Of citizens to private
property, with view to giving every
citizen a free home. This was certainly
refreshing, and Just what 1t had to do
with trusts no one could tell, but it af-
fords a fair sample Of the character of
the people who made up the motley as
semblage. Efforts were made to In
duce the author of the resolution to
withdraw 1t, but they were unavailIng,
and It required two ballots to settle the
matter. II this proposition was not
anarchistie, then pray what was st?
And these men are supporters Of Bryan
and the red nag Chicago platform.
A strong EFFORT was made in the clos
ing hours Of the conference to onset the
partisan efEect Of the resolutions adopt
ed, but without effect.
Frank s. Monnett, permanent chair
man Of the conference, made a speech,
in which he declared that the move
ment for public ownership Of public
utilities was being carried on by the
Republican party as well as by the
Democratic party. I'm the Republican
northwest" said he, "s5 per cent of the
public utilities are owned by the public.
whereas ia many southern Democratic
states less than per cent are so own
ed. He also reminded the conference
that Ohio, which is the state of the
President, is also the state of the au-
thor Of the Sherman antitrust law. But
the conference was not called for a
calm discussion, but for the formula
ton Of rabid propaganda against cap
ltal in any form. The whole affair IS
too silly for serious thought.

Judge Faulkner Too Tender-H Hearted
70 nanida a Case.

Judge Faulkner Too Tender-Haarted
to Decide Case.
Martlnsburg Herald: II ls now stated
that one wing Of the turbulent Democ-
racy has decided that the Hon E. Boyd
Faulkner. OF Berkeley county, must be
nominated for governor. This Is the
same E. Boyd Faulkner who preBides
over the circuit courts Of the Berkeley
district, and who has had In his court
for more than year the Lightburn-
Bennett contest case. and cannot md
time to try It. In order that Justice
may be dispensed without any unnec-
essary hindrsnces, we hope that the dis
tinguished Berkeley county 1urist may
not be taken from the bench until this
case shall have BEEN decided.-West0n
Independent,
Yes, this IS the same Judge Faulkner
10 whom you allude, upon whom you
dumped this case without his knowledge
or consent, and presented to him large
cracker box Of exhibits and pleadlngs.
Since the case came here, the judge has
endeaVored to take It up, but owing to
his heavy dociSets in three counties he
has been unable to do so: Not less
than six months would be consumed IN
examining the papers, etc Perhaps II
would have been better taste on the part
OF the parties concerned 10 have seIect-
ed special Judge from the member
ship Of the bar Of Lewis county to have
tried this case, instead Of botherlng our
circuit Judge with It Judge Faux
ner has a splendid reputation here for
prompt and fair decisions, and shoveS'
thingS from the word go. BE will dis
pose Of this case when ne has examined
into tie merits-not one day sooner. He
is not In the habit Of being hurried
without his consent, and he'll dispose
OF the Lightburn- Bennett contest when
he can do so with justice and fairness
to himself and the parties concerned.
II that docs not suit, there Is no string
to the case, and II can be sent some
where else.

A good cause needs no defense. and
that Is the reason the refundlng ordl-
nance can stand on It's own merits.
When a newspaper that AFFECTS to d.
rect the Thought Of It's readers, such as
the Register processes to do, and In
daIges day after day in sophistical
arguments against the passage Of a
measure that appeals both to the COM
mon and business sense of the commu-
nity-a measure that was framed by
business men Of both parties, and which
received the unanimous vote Of both
branches Of the city council-it assumes
that It's readers are very weak-minded
indeed. It's endeavors Of late to con-
vince the people that black is white
have become most painful, even to
those who are familiar with the charac-
Ter OF that paper. The wholly violent
assumption that 1t possesses al! the in /.
teIlIgence and dlscernment, and that It,
only, lEnowswhat is best for the best In
terests Of the city is humorous effort
ON the part Of the Register that will
pass muster in the joke columns Of
Puck or Judge.
It's virulent attacks on the honesty Of
the advocates of the refundIng measure,
and BY innuendo and insInuation ques-
tioning the motives Of those who
framed the ordinance, Is nothing short
u impertinence and insult to men who
stand higher in this community for pro-
bity and honesty than the writer who

we do not undertake to supply the
motive which prompts the Registers
vicious attacks, or to correct Its incon-
sistencies. which are only too apparent,
but we do undertake to say that when

BE ia RIGHT In Linz.

The Charleston Mail Tribune has the
following, which is more than signiH-
cant:
The Weston Independent contains a
very pointed reference TO Judge Henry
Brannon, in the issue of this week, in
the following:
1T would be a very proper act on the
part Of the state Republican convention,
The Independent believes. to nominate
Judge Henry Brannon, Of this place, to
succeed himself. He Is a very learned
lawyer, a bCoad-mlnded, far-seeing
man and nm unusually capable Judge.
Politically, he has been Democrat. but
has no longer anything In common with
that party, being a protectlonist a sound
money man and an expansionist The
Republicans OF Lewis county would be
practically a unit for him, and he
would draw largely from the thinking
members OF the Democratic party"
II happen to personally know also that
Judge Brannon would not be at all
averse 10 Just that sort Of an arrange
ment."

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR


A man never loves woman till he is
willing 10 let her hurt him.
A man is never In serious trouble till
all his enemies are dead.
After a woman has once love,4 one
man, when she loves another man she
stoops.
The only type Of man that woman
may never love and yet never tire Of is
the one who has the genius of friend
ship.
There is no limit to the number OF
excuses a woman will invent for mans
not telling her he loves her-if she loves
him.
When man claims he understands q
woman he never really does; he only
hopes that she will believe him when he
says he does,-New York Press.
