A PITIFuL SIGHT.

a $500 " SA0AA
On Saturday we saw an old man Keeling with in.
toxicaton. The man is we'll known to people
and for years this craving for drink has been the
besetting sin which has pulled him down and has
brought sorrow and grief his home Many
times has he tried to master his desire for liquor
and he has done much more made more serious
attempts to avoid temptation, than most men do in
their lives Now that he has become old and his
ill-power has weakened, the curse of his youth
has come back to haunt him. We have only
row and pity in hearts for him, he is OF Low,
able disposition, kindly of heart and most
siderate of others; but we must confess that
loath and detest the who furnished him liquor.
Carrie Nations Ratchet applied to his person would
be none too good for him. whoever he may be.
We wish to say, that we do not believe there is
saloon keeper or bar tender in Denison, who would
sell drink to this man, and that he must have OBJ
tanned it either through another person some
place where liquor is illegally sold. Denison is
noted for its philanthropy and believe that this
old has earnestly tried do his best, and that
he deserves the support and assistance of the COM
munity in keeping in the path of rectitude
SUNDAYS Chicago Inter Ocean contains splen-
did article from the pen of our old friend Mr.. L.
w Busby, giving resume of the accomplishments
OF the last administration. In the annoyances of
today we apt to lose sight of the calamties Of
yesterday. In looking to the solution of present
difficulties apt to give credit for the VIC
tories and achievements of the past. Democratic
papers point to symptoms of the govt and forget
that four years ago, they left the government face
to face with starvation. We have not the space to
give Mr. Busbys article in full but in another
issue will give brief resume of what he says:
Nor since the with Spain has there been
such non-partisan and unanimous denunciaton OF
anything as has been called forth by Admiral
SIMPSONS declaration that there should be no pro-
motions from the ranks OF the navy, because the
men have not had the social advantages, neces-
sary to meet the representatives of other govern
ments. The out-cry against SIMPSONS priggish-
ness, ought to convince even Mr.. Bryan, that there
few aristocratic monarchical tendencies
among the American people.
THE Scranton Journal, with its usual kin dliness,
misconstrues the REVIEWS statements and makes
us say, that Mr.. Cummins ought not to be nomina-
ted because he is supported by such papers as the
Des MONIES Leader and the Sioux City Tribune.
The REVIEW said no such thing and Pa Smith knows
2t The REVIEW does feel that the republican party
would be unwise to give much heed to the counsels
Iof journals whose dearest wish would be gratitied
were the republican party to be defeated in Iowa
4 Both Mr.. Cummins and Mr.. Perkins have enough
republican supporters without giving undue prom
nence to their democratic friends We do not be-
lieve in caucusing with people whom we have
every reason to believe would not abide by the re-
suit of the caucus should it not come out the way
~ o;,,
that the Leader and the Tribune will support the
republican nominee chosen by the majority of the
next republican convention, we will concede their
right to be heard in the party councils AS to Ed.
Hunter, we had been led to believe by the Leader,
that he ardent supporter of Mr. Foster and
not of Mr.. Perkins.
