HOT SHOT.

In its chase for campaign material
the Democratic party is putting up a
very fair imitation of the dog catcher.
The southern newspapers have been
quick to resent the latest Islander on
that section at the hands of Mr.. Till
man. .,n 4 r
The Hon. Clark Howells, editor Of
the Atlanta Constitution, is trying
very hard to remain in the Demo-
cratic party, but he resents the course
Of the Pettigrews toward our troops in
the Philippines.
Heretofore the grand jury has been
regarded as an important part of the
machinery of justice, but the Ken
lucky Democrats have demonstrated
that it can be used for the purpose Of
intimidation and political theft.
We infer from the tenor Of the de-
bate that the enterprising press agent
Of the Philippine rebellion, Agoncillo,
is keeping up spirited correspond
ence with the Democratic United
OIulSS OclldLOlS.
The Virginia people have voted in
favor of negro disfranchisement. This
will do away with the inconvenience
of counting them out.
Perhaps the Kansas City hotel keep
ers would have produced less fault
finding had they made it sixteen del
egates to one room.
The Idaho sheep raisers have dis
covered that, when it comes to en-
HANGING the value Of the fleeco, mill
opening beats mint opening all to
pieces. ~
The Hon. Coin Harvey is to have
charge of the statistic department. Of
the Democratic campaign. When
ever you see any Democratic "figgers''
think Of Coin.

The following plank Is from the Demo
cratic platform Of 1914. when Polk md
nallaS led their ticket: Il. ssl u y
"Resolved, That our title TO- the
whole Of the territory OF Oregon y
clear and unquestionable; that no por-
ton OF tho same ought to be coded to-
England or any other power, and that
the re-occupation Of Oregon and the
enumeration Of Texas at the EARLIEST
practicable period, are great American
measures, which this convention rec
ommends to the cordial support Of the
Democracy of the Union"

Helena Honors Tappan.

Lieutenant Commander Benjamin
Tappan, who was executive officer OF
the Raleigh during the battle of Man.
lila bay, and is now in charge of the
photographic Office in Baltimore, has
been presented with a handsome sword
sby his fel1ow-townsmen Of Helena,

services at Manila"

a. FEW PERTINENT REMARKS.

a FEW PERTINENT REMARKS.
Hawaii was the first necessary ana
share of the trans-Pacif1c trade. we:
got Hawaii, although Grover Clevelan -
once hauled down our flag there. Inen
we got Manila. Now we are gettlnS
the commerce.
Scythes costs farmers 40 cents doz-
en- more last year than In 1896. corn
was worth 10 cents bushel more, so
that the farmer who paid an extra
or 4 cents for a scythe. was still or
cents to the good, when paying for
it out of one bushel Of corn.
Barley was worth only 81 and 80
cents q bushel or the farm m the
Democratic years Of 1895 and 1886. II
was worth 40 and Al cents in the Re
publican years of 1898 and 1899. Fro.
lection meant a gain Of about $3 an
acre to the farmer who grows bar
ley.
Under the Democratic free trade
Wilson bill we imported about 3,oOO.-.
900 pounds of foreign hops each year.
In 1899 we imported only 1,319.0OC
pounds. -. b.e,s
Wages have been higher in the Unit
ed States since the formation OF the
large business combines than ever they
were before: @#
The Boer incident in the United
States was closed a few weeks before
the Boer war:
State Examiner Harry B. Henderson
of Wyoming shows that the total num-
Der of accounts in the banks OF his
state has increased from 2,414 in 1896
to 4,307 at the end of 1899. Gross de-
posts increased by $236,O90 within the
last year. -, *.
The announcement of Mr.. Towne
that he is not a Populist would seem to,
corroborate the claims of the Cincin-
natl people that theirs is the only gen
uine Pop ticket in the field.
The Republican party will not shield
dishonesty on the part of public serV-
ants. The men who have disgraced
themselves and their country. in Cuba
will be prosecuted and punished. It
is the Democratic party that permits
it's Honest" Dick Tates and bther
looters OF state funds to enjoy their
swag in foreign climes.
The Democratic demagogues who
sought to utilize the St. Louis street
car strike for political purposes have
been roundly denounced by the Demo-
cratic governor of Missouri. Like Gov.
Steunenberg OF Idaho, Gov. Stevens
has destroyed all his chances as a vice
presidential candidate at Kansas City.
When Shakespeare spoke of "the
stuff dreams are made Of he supplied
an excellent description of the predic-
lions of Chairman James X. Jones.
The Cubans will perceive the differ
ence between American and Spanish
procedure when the raseals are locked
up.
1t turns out that the real victim OF
the Porto Rican tariff is the sugar
trust. 1t was the sugar trust that
helped the Democratic party make a
tariff law, and it is but natural it
should have the sympathy of the DEM
ocratic party, now that it is a victim
OF Republican legislation.

Stampede at an Exhibition.

Covington, KY, June Pat an ex-
hibition of tableaux by a Roman Cath
Ollie society the lights went out and

why English Fabrics Are Superior.

The superiority of textile fabrics
made in Bradford, England, is due to
their finish, in which regard American
fabrics are lacking. The Bradford su-
periority is due in great measure to
the moisture and damp climate, wool
absorbing the moisture and acquiring
softness not otherwise obtainable.

Fakers Would Coerce Enumerators.

Charles S. Wilbur, superintendent OF
the census for New York, refuses to
make the names of the enumerators
public because they are already in de-
mand by advertisers who want to use
them to solicit and push various
schemes while they are doing their
census work.-Indianapo News.

THESE lSlduuS. All tdi1u COllcCIeu dL
Porto Rican ports is also to be used
for that purpose. This was boon to
that people justified by the circum-
stances, and unparalleled for generos-
ity toward any people.
This congress has also passed the
Free Homes bill, giving free home
steads on the public lands to actual
bona fide settlers. This was a measure
pledged by the platform of all parties.
An amendment to the pension act of
1890, and known as the Grand Army
bill, has also become a law.
A law of much Importance passed at
this session is that allowing the free
transportation in bond of all goods
shipped through the United States
from a foreign country to another for
eign country. This will be of great
benefit to the shipping interests Of the
country.
An antitrust law amendment to the
Sherman law of 1890, as effective and
far reaching as the constitution will
permit, has also passed the house of
representatives.
The appropriation bills have been
carefully scrutinized, and although the
aggregate is large they are free from all
questionable items. The growth of the
country and the continued disorder in
the Philippine islands are solely &C
countable for the increase in these an
nual bills.
1t was not deemed practicable to re-
duce the revenues during the present
session, but, should the present rate
of surplus continue, the committee on
ways and means, having obtained
leave to sit during the recess, will
bring in bill and press it's passage
at the beginning of the next session.
Meanwhile the treasury department
has used about twenty-eight millions
in refunding operations and will use
twenty-five millions more in the per
cents already called in, thus practic-
ally disposing Of the accumulated sur
plus for the year.
This congress has also done much in
Killing proposed legislation Of bad
or questionable character.

terested in the publication of Baptist
weekly. In this enterprise he had the
cooperation of Rev. John w. Olmstead,
the firm name being Olmstead a. Ford.
Then, desiring still wider sphere, the
partners purchased the Youths Compan-
ion in 1857, and Mr.. Ford assumed the
duties of publisher of the religious paper
and editor Of the Companion. Later, diff
ferences as to policy arose, and the part
ners concluded to make division of in
terests and separate. The Companion fell
to the share of Mr.. Ford and he contin-

Brave but Injudicious.

History records the existence of a
billy goat, dear to the heart of his mas
ter. but generally objected to by the
community on account Of his bucking
proclivities. Nothing was exempt from
his attack, and success only made him
more and more aggressive. One day
he felt unusually pugnacious, and in
this frame of mind he wandered down
on the railroad. Just then an express
train came In sight. 1t was drawn by
the most powerful engine in the coun-
try. called General Prosperity. Billy
saw 1t and prepared for the battle of
his life. AS it approached he got him
self in position and bucked. The result
was disastrous. Billy lay bleeding and
dead by the roadside, and General
Prosperity, with its train, passed on.
Hearing of Billy's death, his owner
strolled down to where he lay and thus
soliloquized: "Oh, Billy, why did you
try 1t? Billy, you were nice goat; you
were not afraid of anything, Billy; you
were the bravest goat / ever saw; but,
Billy, damn your judgmentw-Free-

tent sre tie subjects Of monopoy IN
the home market the competition Of
Europe would compel extortionate
trusts to deal justly by the American
consumer. This IL an eminently prac-
tical plan. which Is In complete accord
with the protective tarin principle as
defined by the last National Convention
Of the Republican party, which con-
demned equally foreign control and do
nestle monopoly"
The next thing, In the evolution ia
vored by the Ledger, would be to re-
move the tariff altogether from certain
articles, and we should soon have, not
only the international trust, which
could defy tariffs, but the whole tariff
and revenue problem would be newly
complicated. 1t Is rather surprising
that Republican papers should recon-
mend any such course. They prove
thereby how really deep-seated the in
dlgnation against the trusts Is. But let
the country honestly try direct and spe-
cific penal legislation before invoking
free trade as an antitrust ally.-Pitts-
burg Press.

BIG FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.

Loss Is Placed at 8 500, OoO-One Fire.
man Killed and Several Injured.
Fire broke out at 9:55 a. m. Sunday in
the five-story brick building at Broadway
and Franklin avenue, st. Louis, occupied
by the dry goods firm of Penny d Cen
ties, and in few hours had consumed
81 100000 worth Of property, caused the
death of one fireman and the serious in
jury of many others, and alarmed the
entire city. The cry that the city was
burning succeeded in almost breaking up
the services in many downtown churches,
and for q time it looked as il the cry
was to prove true. Only by the most
strenuous efforts of the firemen was the
commission district saved.
Soon after the flames broke out the
entire building Of Penny & Gentles was
enveloped. Sparks and brands were
blown in every direction by strong
northwest wind, and the destruction Of
adjoining property was threatened. a
general alarm was turned in, and soon
every engine in the city was at the scene.
On the south of Penny * Gentles' the
flames communicated with the buildings
