men of patriotic impulses, men of sturdy

liberty and loved their country rebelled
against the political despotism and their

HARPER COUNTY HAS A CANDIDATE.
DR.. W. G. Muir, Of Harper County, a fus.
ion Candidate for Congressman
Of the 7th District.

The announcement last week in the
Review that the friends Of Hon. W. G.
Muir Of Harper, would urge that gentle,
man to make the race for congress in The
9TH district, is meeting with more than a
passing notice from the fusion forces all
over the district. 1t is conceded that
Hon. Jerry Simpon will not be candid
ate and with him out of the way it will be
an easy race for DR.. Muir. Other names
may be mentioned in connection with this
Office, but we honestly belive that DR..
Muir is the man for the place and can
lead the fusion forces to decisive victory.
Just watch our smoke.-Kiowa Review
The above press notice is only one OF
the many encouraging notices DR.. w. G.
Muir is receiving over the district, and in
response to their wishes has given consent
thai his name may be used for the candid
acy for the nomination of the Fusion
forces Of the 9TH Congressional District.
His friends have been urging him fol-
sometime to allow his name to be used,
but he has not until this week consented
t. be a candidate. The DR.. needs no in
tTodnctiou to the people of Harper county
He is not and never was an Office seeker.
He is self-made man and has made
his business and profession a success.
DR.. Muir came to Harper county in
1884 and has resided here ever since.
He never held an Office except mayor Of
our city and has never been a candidate
for office except two years ago he was the
Peoples Larty candidate for the legis-
lature. The DR.. has shown himself to be
one of the brightest and best business men
we have ever had in our county. In
early life he was a Democrat. bnt since
the organization of the Peoples Party
has worked for and voted that ticket.
We predict that the DR.. will give some
one close race for the nomination.

An Insolent Assumption.

There Is a peculiar insolenoe in the
and discredited minority in congress
that they are the spokesman OF the
American people and yet, following the
established practice Of Mr. Bryan, this
assumption finds utterance In nearly
every one of their speeches, particularly
those which are the most un-American
in tone and substance. Such utterances
as this come with particularly bad
grace from the representatives OF a mi
nority party. Overwhelmingly defeated
in national election. after calling TO
its assistance every faction in the coun-
try which opposed the dominant party.
and which has been so completely dis
credited that IL did not succeed in car
rying the lower house in congress IN
the 'off year" thus breaking a prece-
dent which has stood for twenty four
years. Since Grants first term. and
until the election OF Mckinley, no pres
ident of the United States ever had his
party friends In the majority In the
lower house In congress during the sec
ond half Of his term. But the American
people have broken this precedent to
emphasize their disapprovai OF the doc
trines Of Democracy, as represented by
the element now in the aseendency.
The major portion Of the votes which
the Democratic party has in congress
today are there by reason OF a dellber-
ate suppression Of the votes OF the ma
iority In the districts which they repre-
sent. Many southern members OF con-

AN IsTHMIAN CANAL AND
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

We shall regard the ratification of the
IIay-Pauncefote treaty as a more perilous
blunder than that OF the Clayton BulNer
treaty Of fifty years ago. 1t not only ties
our hands in the same manner as IT'S
predecessor did but IL contemplates also
the array Of all Europe against us should
we at any time in the future awake to
the danger OF the predicament and seek
to extricate Observation-Disclosures Post
Unprotected by a general guarantee, the
canal would be a danger point for the
Monroe doctrine and permanent invita-
ton to strained relations and European
interference. We are rid OF that danger
If we accept the new treaty--New York

The canal will lose all character as part
OF the national war power the moment Its
absolute neutrality in time of war is guar
anteed. National necessities have forced
the doctrine that the United States has
the right to regard this isthmian strip as
American territory sufficiently to war

purposes. Unless that right be main

Let us cleave TO the Blaine doctrine-an

With the final passing OF that treaty. or
its radical amendment the British gov

a grievous error-Baltimore Sun.
This is a generous concession on Brit

BY the Hay-Pauncefote agreement we
get rid of dual control OF the canal, and
that is all that we can expect to gain.
Not even the abrogation Of the Clayton

latitude in the matter. for we would have

people, the palm should probably be
awarded to Sulzer. self-constituted
leader OF the Democracy on the floor OF
congress, and representative, by the
grace Of Tammany hall. Of one of the
Stun districts of New York. His dis
trict comprises a portion of the East

limits more imported squalor. vice and
crime than can be found in an equal
area of ground elsewhere on top of the
earth. In his nomination and election
the people of his district. as individuals.
had nothing to do. His selection as
congressman was made in the secret
councils Of Tammany Hall. and the vot-
ers had but to obey orders and cast
their votes as told. in their usual and
customary manner for the man whom
the Tammany bosses selected. and of
whom, at the time of his election. the
average voter Of the district knew moth

bosses wanted him.
Nowhere in the world where repre-

conditions be duplicated which sur

members of congress in the New York

worst days OF rotten boroughs in ENG

never more OF farce than 1t Is IN
these New York districts. Yet, coming
into congress under these circum-
stances, representing, as he does. moth

hearts Of the generations following him.

hearts of the generations following him.
Washington was a man with human
faults and human imperfections. but his
inestimable virtues stand out in marked
contrast to the human background, and
/. Is because of these that his name is
so highly esteemed. He was something
of an aristocrat in his ways OF living;
he was not always constant in his af-
fections, he had a temper which now
and then led him to act with unseeming
violence, but these failings bring him
only the closer to ourselves and call
forth all the greater admiration for the
sterling characteristics which brought
him forward as man among men and
enabled him TO impress his personality
so strongly upon the nations early life.
He was practical man, not given TO
visionary ideas. and with a fund OF
rare common sense. He had not what
is called genius. and extraordinary am
bition seems never to have moved him.
He was good soldier, II not a great
general according to the modern scien-
tifc idea, but 1t was something more
than this which, az II By divine infiu-
ence, led his countrymen TO put him
even judgment, his unquestioned brav-
cry. his resolute but quiet determine
ton, his passion of patriotism which
marked him as the man OF the hour and
finally inspired a collection Of colonies
to victory.
When what he did through the war NJ
the revolution is understood and ap-
preciated as the work OF man
of ordinary clay, his splendid qualities
stand out all the brighter. When 1t Is
considered that he was called upon to
contend against dissensions in his own
ranks, to quiet dIscords that threatened
disruption Of the cause. to look for funds
where none existed, to cheer volunteers
half starved and miserably clad, to take
upon himself the real responsibility Of
waging war, and often with nothing but
his own stout heart to rely upon 1t
is then that his true greatness appears
and people are able to appreciate the
heroic personality which saved the day.
AS Greene, the historian, says: mo no.
bier figure ever stood in the forefront
of a nations life"
There is no danger that the dignity
of Washington Will suffer by a micro
scopic inspection Of his life He is an
idol that is firm on its pedestal, for the
more we learn of the man the more
lovable he becomes and the better able
are we TO comprehend what there was
of greatness to him, and why the peo-
pie OF his times turned to him as one
who could be intrusted with the task Of
bringing a nation into life.
