deemable in anything, and is not even
legal tender. This is the nub of the
Democratic money plank, and one Of
the reasons for more than reafirmation

"And never pull down the fag,"

you do in China? Garry it to the heart
of the Celestial empire, and create ar
mics to keep it there, or simply let it
flap, here and there, as over such roost-
ers as John Goodnow?
Hanna denies that he jumped on
Roosevelt about his speeches. Alice
samee Rosey is laid off until Septem-
Der, until presumably he can revise and
prune.
And speaking of Consul General
Goodnow, someone asked the other day
if there was really any danger Of "Gen-
eral' Goodnow being killed. and
former Republican associate of Johns
cruelty replied, "Oh, no danger. You
know the Chinese don't kill anybody
but Christians. Now, wasn't that

Speaking of the Roosevelt speech, we
judge that the high jink of the Repub-
lican press bureau made bad mess in
! sending it out to the state press. Least.
wise we have reports from several Of
the Democratic papers that they re-
ceived the supplements, which con-
tanned both the Roosevelt speech and
the manuscript that Senator Nelson
read to the listless leaguers. Our boys
had no use for them unless for wrap.

Washington Reader: No, when your
papers speak Of the Powers, they do not
mean the Minnesotan in the Merriam
census bureau, the dirty work man.
They refer to the governments, includ-

Chinee has been making asses of for
several long and painful weeks. The
Minnesota man is himself sort of
Chinaman, known for his ''political
ways that are dark, and tricks that are

''D--n the Dutch" shouted an Illi-

"Down with Catholic anti-imper.alists
and Protestant lovers of the Filipinos,"
says Paul Van Dervoort, one of the re-
cent Hanna converts" After all our
own William Henry Eustis set the ex-

Swedes and Norwegians as mere "vot-

What will the other do?
Speaking Of Van Dervoort, who ap-
pears as rival to Roosevelt for the
place Of "Burchard' in this campaign,
he is the same Van Dervoort who once,
when COMMUNICATIVE chief of the G.. A.
R., was kicked out of the government
service for cause. He then became a
mid-Populist, and thoroughly discred.

Good enough.
Speaking of Consul General Good
now, that functionary is ''piotured" by
the Philadelphia Record, as q round,
sleek, heavy-set man, with heavy,
dropping moustache, who is slown to
be writing away for dear life, under
gas light, doing that important "diplo-
matte intercourse that the admins
tration is giving him so much praise
for. A call bell is at hand for sum-
moning the menials, and there is a big
ink stand, presumably loaded to the
brim with black, very black ink. selahI
Speaking of Roosevelt, the shiver he
has caused may upset the plan of using
rough rider emblems in the campaign.
Still the speckled bandanna handker-

The race for the Burchardship in this
campaign is close one between Roose-
welt and one Paul Van Dervoort of Me-
braska. To date both are neck and neck
in violent abuse of Democrats, Van Der
WORT having recently professed to have
| been Democrat, but Roosevelt is the
more respectable virago. Van Dervoort
is thoroughly despised by those who
know him best, and especially by veter-
ans Of the Civil war who knew him as
commander.in-chief Of the G. A. r.
A noticeable feature Of the ''changes"
that the Republicans have professed to
find in the Mckinley favor, have been
of the same unsavory character as the
Van Dervoort case, fitting companions
for the Neelys, the Rathbones and
Carriers, and the canned beefers and th,
horde Of department. robbers that in,
fest the administration.
