by the republican club, with it's former
support of that organization. In 1896 the
Inter Mountain supported the free silver
movement, to which the democracy tenn

which the two factions of that party

So far, the Standard has failed to show
any good reason why Mr.. Daily should
not volunteer his services to the COM
mittee in the interests of political purity.
1t might ruin Mr.. Clark. but that is no
reason why the Standard should insist

IF NOT--W HY NOT?

A few days since the Standard objected
to the argument that Mr.. DAILY should go
on the witness stand. on the grounds that
that gentleman is not on trial.
Now it advocates the summoning of
prominent republicans, who also are not
on trial.
This is urged as an offset to the propo-
sition that Mr.. DAILY should be called.
The difference between the relationship
of Mr.. DAILY and prominent republicans
to the case in issue is a very broad one.
No prominent republican in this state
is a party to the democratic row which
is being exploited in Washington.
Mr.. DAILY, however. has the honor to
stand at the head and front of one of
the fractional parties to the contest. and
is the recognized general Of the anti
Clark forces in the democracy.
His statements under oath might throw
a great deal of light on the situation, and
it is utterly inexcusable for his official
organ to make war On the suggestion
that he a the witness stand.
First. the Standard excused Mr.. DAILY
from that duty on the grounds that he
was not on trial: but when the Inter
Mountain showed that the character of

accredited head is on trial. the Standard

WHA7 IT MEANS.

At the outset it was predicted that
British reverses in h Transvaal would
necessarily prolong the war and affect
financial conditions in England, which
would, in turn, be reflected upon Ameri-
can interests. This prediction has to
some extent been realized in financial
circles in the United States, and it is
clearly in evidence that if Great Britain
could be still further embarrassed in it's
South African campaign, American
securities would suffer correspondingly
putting the fact that English and Ameri-
can financial interests are SO closely in
terwoven that the one country cannot
be wholly %insensible to the financial con-
ditions Of the other, as was illustrated
in the failure of the Earrings some years
ago, when Argentine securities went to
pieces. =,
1t is further known that nothing but a
financial panic in this country win give
the democracy an opportunity to drive,
the republicans from power in the forth.
coming campaign. So long as the pres
ent prosperity remains unimpaired, noth9
ing can prevent the success Of the re-
publican party at the polls in November.
1t is. therefore, of the utmost concern
to the leaders Of the democratic party to
bring about a condition of affairs that
will embarrass the republicans and tend
to impeach their honesty and wisdom in
the handling Of the interests of this great
nation. The sympathy shown Aguinaldo
and his followers. practically amounting
to treason to the flag. shows the extremes
to which the democracy will go in search
Of an issue with which to regain the con-
troll of the country.
1t is now evident that the pro-Boer agi-
tation in this country is but another
phase of the political ingenuity Of the
democratic leaders. II Great Britain
can be embarrassed by such a movement,
n the war in Africa prolonged to the
injury of that nations finances. Ameri-
can values will be impaired, commercial]
disturbed. and panics threat
ened. This. it is figured. will lead up to
public distrust Of the republican party

States something like thirteen odd mil
lions of dollars due the government for
timber stolen from the public domain in
this state. The Inter Mountain has
heard arguments of his character ad-
vanced by republicans, and refers to
them merely by way of explanation as
to why the Standard discovers in some
quarters of the state a sympathy for Mr..
Clark.
The assumption of some that he is sup
ported by republicans on the grounds
that he is a protectionist, and is in touch
with other republican doctrines, cuts no
figure. Mr.. Clark will stand with his
own party on all such questions when
they are in issue. as he always has done
ton as a post-bellum protectionist, in
the light of his political record in this
state. But while Mr.. Clark has his
friends in the republican party, just as
Mr.. DAILY has, 80 per cent of the party in
this state I'VE no motive in the present
senatorial fight, other than a desire to
see exact justice lone to each wing of
the democracy. to the end that when the
clouds have cleared away the disgrace
inflicted upon our commonwealth by the
bourbon hierarchy may be atoned for in
the redemption of the commonwealth
from democratic rule.

THE BRITISH SOLDIER.

1t is said that the British soldier
wears such tight clothing that his
internal organs are often seriously
injured. Then when on the march
his chest is compressed by the
weight of his knapsack, canteen,
greatcoat and heavy cartridge belt.
Usually the stomach is the first
organ to suffer from taxing OF
any nature. Overwork, abuse,
neglect or improper food is bound
to produce dyspepsia and its attend
ant evils. For any disorder of the

BILLINGsLY'S TROUBLES.

We met Billingsly this morning,
Billingsly is not his real name, for
we don't want all of Texarkana div
ing into his business or joshing him
as he passes along the street. Bill
ingsly has slong made a conf
dent of the reporter and when we
met him this morning and saw him
detected, asked him to open up his
rs cent double breasted vest and
uuloosen his trouble and we would
help him out if in our power. He
said, it is just this way: "You
know I have been going with Lu-
cinda, Nucinda is not the real
name, but it must answer) and l
have always stood we'll with the girl
and her father, and l was fixing to
ask the old man last night for her
hand but the girl gave me the frozen
hand and answered all my questions
in monosylables and never pro-
pounded any questions herself, OF
course l got hufy, and started to
leave, and when I got on the porch
her old daddy followed me out and
this is what l remember he said;"
''Look here Billingsly, l don't want
to see you round here any more.
1t will be conducive to your good
looks to keep away. don't want to
appear inhospitable, but if catch
you around here again, nothing but
the combined efforts of the east and
west side police will keep me from
scalping you. Do you want me to
tell you why? All right, then l will
begin. You are getting simply
worthless. You have been coming
here too many times, burning my
midnight oil, spending your money
and neglecting your business. You
have been spending more money
than your salary amounts to, and
you have been getting it in a way |
don't like. No, you haven't robbed
your employer, you have gambled
| for it and that at base ball, and
your employer has taken notice of
it too; that amt the only thing: you
have been giving Lucinda buggy
rides, treating her TO ices, sending
her books and you have been quar-.
reling with my girl and that don't
suit me or Lucinda either, for
she mopes around all day after one
of these quarrels. | did like you.
| don't often make mistake III a
man when size him up, but I con-
fess | measured you up wrong. !
took you for a steady, well meaning
young man, with a promising flu
ture. Now, know you are lob
ster. l think lots of my girl and the
man who gets her must be branded
all over with the letters, O. X. l
had long talk with her and she
knows my position and if she froze
you out tonight, you now un-
derstand our position, and you broke
away, and now again want to tell
you to keep broke away, that's all,
A man can't gamble, follow Sunday
base ball excursions around over
the country and come around here,
so good bye, and stay away"
The reporter confessed to Bill,
ingsly that he had ran upon a
tough proposition and advised him
to reform and the old man and Lu-
cinda would both notice it in time,
and he would yet be happy in their
sunshine of life.
