of the republican county convention
will announce their withdrawal from
the position Of Thompson candidates.
The publication Of the contract sign
ed by Mr.. ID. E. Thompson, and agree
ing on his part not to attend repub-
lican caucuses il the pOpulists would
vote for him for senator has made a
profound impression on the republi-
cans of the state. The members of
the delegation can claim that the
affidavits throw a new light upon Mr..
ThOmpson's character; that whereas
they hal always supposed him unset

Der Of men to agree with him and
then in doing something to make his
part of the country better. He has
the indispensable characteristic Of a
successful reformer, he believes in
himself, in the strength Of his arm,
and 10 his own ratiocinstion. Mr..
Steflins in the June number Of Nc
Clure's recognizes Governor RoOse-
velts ability to get things done which
is a much greater and rarer gift than
the faculty of seeing that they should
be done. There are plenty of the lat
ter sort standing all day long on the
corner of Tenth and o. But they are
there where they are with their
hands in their pockets because they
have not the power Of convincing any
one else of either their good sense.
their integrity or Of their ability.
"Mr. Roosevelt always has recognized
that he had not only to keep clean
himself, but to get things DONE" Mr..
Steffins says:
HE hesitated once when he was an
sssemblyman. He became leader
in the House during his first term,
and he put through several reform
laws by forcing or persuading the
party to take them up. In subse-
quent term he was SO Influenced by
his many Mugwump friends that he
stood out alone, with a few followers
to fight; just to fight. This lasted
only few weeks, however. He saw
that he could accomplish nothing by
personifying universal protest; so in
he went again to get things done. to
put through all that it was possible
to force upon his party, and his rec
ord in this legislature was good
one"
Mr.. Lou Payn was Superintendent
of Insurance. The Governor knew
his history and conduct of the New
York state business with the inSur-
ance companies. When his time ex-
pired in the middle of Mr.. Roosevelt's
term Payn was glad OF it. He wanted
an honest mans Endorsement and
asked the Governor to reappoint him.
The Governor refused and Lou Payn
said he would make him. Then he
sent petitions to the Governor sigued
by all the presidents of insurance
companies. by bankers. by lifelong
republicans and by Mr.. Platt, for his
reappointment. No use. Then he
induced majority of the republican
senators to promise him they would
not confirm any superintendent that
the Governor should appoint. But
Governor Roosevelt always has a
card to play. He said he would bring
charges against Payn, for instance of
a large loan made by a corporation
officer to the Superintendent Of In.
surance. He could prove the charge.
Payn's conviction would embarrass
other financiers and politicians and
tie New York senate appointed the
Governors designate.
Governor Roosevelt also believes
that corporations using the public
highway or any part Of the public
demesne should pay taxes on the most
valuable part Of their property which
is, as everyone knows, the franchise
itself. Mr.. Steffins says, that "most
of the corporations contribute largely
to the campaign funds Of both politi-
cal parties in New York. Republic
cans never offer any acti-capital legis-
latIon; the democrats offer a great
deal and intend none. The demo-
cratic nnSifi0n in the state is well

she annoyed him and he could find

A Life on the Ocean Wave.
A sailor is proverbially easy prey
on land. He is an amphibious ami
NAL and his gait. speech and reckon
ing have been regulated by the roll
of the ocean for so long that he is
inclined to awkwardness and apt to
make mistakes on land. Admiral
Dewey guilelessly took the word of
the people nearest him and supposed
he had only to announce his candi-
dacy for the presidency to have it
conferred upon him by the first ma
tiOnal convention that met after his
consent had been secured. His first
surprise, after he had told a World
reporter that he had changed his
mind about answering the call of the
people to the presidency. was that the
people must know Immediately wheth-
er he was democrat or republican.He
had served his country as an Ameri-
can. He had taken orders from the presi-
dents OF this country because they
were successfully bis ranking officers,
and on the sea and in foreign ports
nobody cared and almost no one knew
whether the president was a repub-
lican or democrat. The Admiral has
travelled enough, and has represented
America as whole for so long. that
he is able to take foreigners view
of his own country. The distinction

Gratis and republicans Dewey did not
make when he was in the China seas.
When he sent message to Admiral
Diedrich of the German feet and ad-
vised him to keep his ships out of his
way he spoke as representative of
America to representative of Ger
many, To that German. Dewey was

nation OF very determined, hard-head-
ed fighters who had just whipped one
country and were ready to fight an

made sailors mistake in thinking
of America as whole. For not know

who does not know that republicans
are always right and democrats al

there is a little comfort to the people
living on the treeless, or at least,
smali-treed plains Of Nebraska but
for the present day toilers there is but
little satisfaction in the thought Of
the inevitable punishment Comman-
dand Fowler has recklessly prepared
for himself. So far, June 18th, there
is no report that the Board OF Public
Lands and Buildings has even re-
primanded his destruction of the
states property. He is himself in
capable of realizing the extent Of his
crime. When the committee asked
him why he cut down the states de-
light he said he wanted more pasture
for his cows. IL addition to the trees
he cut down, he piled up brush heaps
among the young timber, set them
afire and thus killed the next genera
tons crop.
Governor Theodore Roosevelt.
Practical politicians are sincerely
skeptical of reform and impatient
with and disguised at mugwumps and
men who scratch tickets for any rea-
son whatever. Yet reformers reform
and purifiers purify. This era is bet
ter than any other era. Examine
periods five hundred years apart in
the history Of the world. ignoring the
intermediate periods and each one of
these periods, till we reach the year
one of the birth of our Lord. is a dis.
tinct improvement upon the one five
hundred years nearer the beginning
of our era. This being so. then men
have made the world better. Not
the men who 0beyed the party bosses,
the priests or the diets. but The non-
co1formists who have thought for
themselves, who have made new plat
forms and new creeds. who have
ignored old words and phrases, I'm.
harnessed themselves and helped
those OF their neighbors and brothers
who wished to be free. Their words
and deeds have survived and have.
century by century raised the aver
age. This result has not been &C
cOmplished without ridicule. 1t is
recorded in Genesis that Shem and
Ham were born after Noah was five
hundred years old. Then the Lord
directed Noah to build the ark and he
was six hundred years old when the
