The most important political event
of the last week was the agreement of
both factions of the Republican party
on single ticket. This greatly sim
plifes matters, as it virtually leads to
square stand up fight between the two
old parties as in days of yore.
This is not as the Democrats would
have had things, as they were banking
on the two wings of the party not get
ting together, which would have given
them an easy victory with the State
candidates and more rejoicing than
would have been the case with the sue
cess of the National ticket. On the
other hand the agreement of the Re
publicans on one ticket is viewed with
much satisfaction by the mass of the
Republican voters. They enter on the
short time remaining for the contest
with high spirit and full assurance of
victory.

THE base ball season, like the peach

MODELLING, but there are other reasons
beside competition why there is not as
much public interest in this American
game as there was ten years ago. One
reason is the growth of disorder at the
games. Another reason is the lack of
'snap" in the games. 1t may be suf-
fering temporary eclipse but any at
tempt to wipe it off the list of outdoor
sports would meet a vigorous public
resistance in the cities. City people

In discussing the Chinese situation
the Philadelphia Press says: ''No
better proof of the sound wisdom and
practical value of the policy of the Adj
ministration in China could appear
than the pregnant circumstance that
the official, the inspired and party
press of Russia, Germany and Great
Britain has successively condemned
the position taken by President McKin-
ley. Approved at home, by papers
without distinction of party, each step
in our Chinese policy has been by
turns condemned by each of the Pow
ers with definite aims in China. Each,
Great Britain, Germany and Russia,
has a special interest in China. Each
is acting there with reference to large
interests elsewhere and possibilities of
an European collision, and each i'll
succession finds the straitforward pol
icy Of the United States crossing the
more tortuous path of its companions
in the common action of the "Great
Powers"
Our Asiatic prestige does not depend
upon our precise success in each move
in the game of diplomatic intrigue.
1t rests upon our position in the Phil
ippines, our feet, our army and our
treaty rights but, most of all, that we
have never permitted right to go un-
defended and never willingly occupied
territory or landed troops except as
our international obligations rendered
this step necessary.
The result is not only that the United
Stated where other Powers are
suspected, but that we are able at each
stage, with an eye single to the pres
ervation in China strong enough to
preserve order, MAINTAIN the integrity
OF the empire, meet international Obli-
cations and assure us of our treaty
rights

Cross Words XIII n BIRD.

A bird which receives a scOlding Is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as a child would be- To illustrate
lowing story:
A Massachusetts woman had a few
years ago Il beautiful canary bird
which she dearly loved and to which
she had never spoken an unkind word
in her life.
One day the church Organist was
away, and she stopped after church to
play the organ for the Sunday school.
In consequence OF this the dinner had
to be put off an hour, and when she got
home her good husband was very an
CRY, and he spoke to her unkindly.
The things were put on, and they sat
down in silence at the table, and pres
emily the bird began to chirp at her as
it always had TO attract her attention.
To shame her husband for having spo-
ken so she turned to the bird and for
the first time in her life spoke to it in q
most violent and angry tone. In less
than five minutes there was a flutter-
ing in the cage. She sprang to the
cage. The bird was dead.
Mrs. Hendricks, the wife of the late
vice president of the United States
said that she once killed a mocking
bird in the same way. 1t annoyed hel
by loud singing. To stop it she spoke
in violent tone and pretended tC
throw something at 1t, and within five
minutes it was dead.

Single Tax Meeting.

Mr.. Hertzell of Philadelphia who
has been here before as a single Tax
speaker, visited Smyrna on Saturday
evening, and made an address, from the
top of a goods box in front of the store
of J. W. Jones. He is nominally a
Single Taxer, but his address was
mainly on the line of Populism. Some
who didn't hear the first part of the
address thought he was speaking in
the interest of Socialism.

law, says the Phiiadelphja Ledger,
was foredoomed to failure by its own
provisions. 1t provides that the rep
resentatives of a person murdered by
a mob may collect damages in the
coGnty in which the lynching occurred;
but the collection must be by means of
a jury trial. Naturally the people of
the county object to taxing themselves,
aud the practical result is that the jury
brings in a verdict for the county.
Such a law, to be effective must work
automatically.

WHILE we are engaged in a Presi-

this country, they are engaged in
England in a contest for their National
Parliament. While we are discussing
the nightmare of ''imperialism" here,
they have a real issue there for parties
to divide on-the South African or
Transvaal question.
To a dispassionate outsider it might
seem that the proper time for settling
the South African question in British
politics expired when the first gun was
fired in the BOer war; but the English
politicians have seen fit to make it the
principal issue in the present Parlia-
mentary campaign. Mr.. Chamberlain
puts it very plainly when he"warns

are returned to power they will re-

the most dreadful threat he could hurl
at the electorate. Eighteen months
