ROOSEVELT ATTEMPT TO
DODGE.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt ate grass,
roots and all, while making his now
world famed onslaught on the Spanish
trenches ut San Juan. Candidate
Roosevelt is keeping to his record for
mastery mastication by eating Il few
OF his own words in his onslaught on
Democrats.
Seeking n peg on which TO hang an
explanation of his st. Paul libel on six
and odd million OF his countrymen,
this candidate for the succession TO the
throne explains in an open letter to
Gen. John NJ. Palmer, who baked at
his haranguc, that he meant to limit
the epithets of his dishonesty and
dishonor" declaration to the makers
and sponsors of the Kansas City
platform.
This belatcd explanation OF u DELHI
crate insult is as feeble as 1t will be
futile. No man who is capable OF
charging the distinguished represent
atives OF n party composing more
than half of the respectable white cit
lien body of this country with standing
for '1awlessness and disorder. for dis
nOIeSly OlSnOiiOIt lOT llCGuSt anu
disaster ut home and cowardly shrink
ing from duty abroad" is fit to be a
President or President of this ma
ton. To put n man so Incorporate
OF utterance in a place of such power
would be to endanger our relations
with every foreign country and to
lower the tone Of public life in this
country.
Continuing to wriggle, our heroic
Nebuchadnezzar says:
1T hold UP the policy advocated in
the Kansas City platform as IL base
and cowardly policy, to emphasize our
right to appeal to the countless thou
sands of high minded Democrats who
abhor shame and cowardice and are
quick to see and disown them"
The assumption that In order to ap-
peal to countless thousands OF high
minded Democrats" it is necessary to
libel other Democrats equally high
minded is new and astounding, and
may very well be classed along with
Col. Roosevelts proud recital of how
he shot a Spaniard in the back ut
Santiago. as one OF the queerest verbal
and moral freaks on record.

1t took o non-partisan jury but IS
minutes TO find him guilty of assassi-
nation.
BY his own testimony Powers was
the prime mover in taking the lawless
mountain men to Frankfort. He made
the disposition OF them ut the State
building. from which the fatal shot
was fired. He was emphatic in his
threats and frequent in his hints at vi
olence. This was shown, not by his po-
litical enemies. but by his political al
lies. The whole mass of evidence adj
duced in the six weeks hearing in the
case went to show that there was n
conspiracy to take the life of Governor
Goebel. and that it largely revolved
about Powers. from whose office the
shot was fired. 1t is not too much to
say, that in an ordinary criminal case.
free from any political aspect. the av-
erage jury would have convicted
Powers on the evidence udduced III
court.
There was probably some pretty
careless swearing done on both sides of
the case, but Caleb Powers was not
convicted on the evidence OF perjurcd
witnesses. His own evidence and tina.
of his friends was his undoing.

STILL BOUNDING HOBSON.

The Danvilc Bee thinks that Lieu
tenant Richmond Pearson Hobson has
no further hero possibilities in him;
| and gives as its reason that besides
the alleged osculatory episodes that
marked his journey across the CONT
nent he has recently been guilty of
subterfuge in seeking active service in
China. This charge is based on the
fact that he was invaded to Yokohama
to have his eyes treated, and while
there volunteered for service in China.
TIC Bee adds:
at is now the current belief that there
was little or nothing the matter with
HobsoD's eyes, and that this WAS Il
scheme to get himself before the pub
lie again, and his brother officers, with
whom, for some reason or other, he IL
extremely unpopular. are saying that
his eyes We're good enough for hero
work. but not good enough for routine
duty. We fear that Mr.. Hobson will
never be able to live down this last
ridiculous episode, even if he could
have survived the fatal results of his
celebrated trans continental kissing de-
bauch."
The current belief with whom?
Doubtless with his brother officers. with
whom. as our contemporary says, lie is
unpopular. our contemporary seems TO
forget that Admiral Schey is also very
unpopular with his brother officers, who
have not hesitated to charge him with
cowardice. by inference. If Ilobson
had escaped the petty jealousy that
sought 10 vctimizc Schlcy, it would
have been strange indeed
Ever since IIobson was ordered to
the East he has been pursued by the
enmity OF these same magnanimous
brother officers il reports are to he
credited. 1t is asserted that n cabal
was formed by them TO cut him when
he went to Hong KONG and TO gene
rally make things pleasant for him.
The foreign officers, however. promptly
informed him OF it on his arrival and
made II good deal of q lion of him dur
ing his stay. The generous assertion
that he has been guilty of seeking an
other opportunity to see service by un-
fair means doubtless emanatcs from
the same coterie. II is. we believe,
customary TO invalid men on the re-
commentator of surgeon, and the
story is. therefore. clumsy as well As
vicious.
Why not leave the yellow journals.
which began the attack on Hobson by
distortion and Misrepresentation, to
keep up the campaign?

WHAT WILL M'KINLEY DO NEXT

The statement from the War De-
, partment that General Chaffee will
. not pursue the Empress of China be-
! cause his force is too small and is
tired out with the march on Pekin.
conveys the amazing intimation that
If the force at Chaffees disposal were
adequate he would be expected to join
in q hunt for the ruler Of country
with which we are professedly still at
peace.
1t is plain that if the forces OF the
United States take part in pursuing
the fleeing Chinese rulers, 1t will be
impossible to longer keep up the fiction
that we are at peace with China
Such step would not only be dec
laration OF war outright. but it would
be a declaration of war without any
apparent cause. or course this country
has been making war for weeks past.
but in qualified way, and with the
justification of rescuing the legation

"A POLITICAL JONAH.

That was good news to the Demo-
Gratis in yesterdays dispatches that
Ice Presidential Candidate Roosevelt
VIII be actively in the campaign from
this time until the election. and espe-
ciaiiy that after October 18th he will
devote all of his time to the State of
New York. He has already demon
strated by his speeches in this CAM
paign that he is capable of aiding the
Democrats more than anybody, and
the fact that Mckinley carried New
ork IN 1896 by $4,000 majority, and
that Roosevelt carried il last year for
Governor by $4,000. is a demonstration
OF his capabilities as a political Jonah.
The more speeches he makes the bet
ter for the Democrats.

4 o'clock this afternoon the missing
st. Louis election returns wefe de-
livered to the Secretary of State,
and in few minutes thereafter, in
the presence Of the governor, as
the law provides, the envelopes

on the third constitutional amend
ment is also given. The vote for
President will be counted next
week.
The vote here given each of the
several candidates is grand total
OF the totals from each county and
the city of st. Lonis. It can not,
however, be called the official vote.
as the verification OF the vote by
precincts will, in all probability,
disclose slight errors, which will,
to just that extent, affect these
grand totals. 1t will require time
in which to obtain the absolutely

Paper Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Worley, in
their usually happy style, enter
tanned quite number of young
people Thursday evening, Nov. 10,
from eight o'clock until twelve.
The occasion was in honor of the
second, or paper anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Worley.
Their handsome double parlors
were tastefully and elaborately
decorated with house plants, the
square piano being a bank of
beauty in chrysanthemums and
ferns. The guests began to arrive
promptly, and at fifteen minutes
to nine began the progressive
games. Eight tables dotted tn,
rooms and n different game at ehcl
table, viz: Old Maid, Parcheesi
Stcepic Race, Sixfy-six, Fish Pond
Croldnole, Robinson Crusoe and
Domino. | believe il was generally
decided that Robinson Crusoe and
the Fish Pond were the most skilled
games, by the length of the time
all of the players remained at those
tables. Seven rounds were played
and Miss Ethelyne Owings and
j. A. Vogt won the prizes-two
handsomely bound books. While
all enjoyed the games, we had
partalen OF the dainties compound
ed by Mrs. w. w. Worley often
enough to know when the tables
were again set that each and every
guest would receive prize. The
refreshments, served in four cours-
es, spoke for themselves, and to
those who were not fortunate
enough to partake of them, they
cannot be described. They were
delightfully."- delightful.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Worley re-
ceived numbers OF useful and dain-
ty remembrances in paper. When
the allotted hour drew nigh they
all left, thanking Mr.. and Mrs.

LIBRARY DAY.
For Montgomery County Teachers
And Patrons of Public Schools.

Reading is the first and most
important branch in any course OF
study. If a child is good reader
he has a solid foundation on which
to build a higher education. After
a child has acquired the habit OF
reading, the main thing is to see
that good books are placed within
his reach, for ii he wishes to read
and if parents and teachers do not
furnish it for him, he will find
it for himself-often OF question:
able character. We believe that
there should be library in every
school in the county. With this
end in view, and acting under the
advice of State and Assistant State
Superintendents, Darlington and
Hall, we have decided to call Friday
December 7th, Library Day" for
Montgomery county, and hope shat
every teacher and patron will do
their best to make it a success.
There are many ways or raising
money on library day. OF course
each teacher will use the one that
seems best for their locality. We
would not advise entertainments.
As rule, they cost more than they
come to. Our plan is to first inter-
est the pupils, then on Friday,
afternoon, Dec. 7th, invite every
patron to hear our regular recita-
tons. Have subscription list and
see that every man, woman and
child in the district has a chance
to give something, and we are
sure that every district in the coun-
ty will have sufficient means 10
buy at least a part OF the apopted
library.
Teacher please notify US on pos
tai the amount raised. Truly,
