DILLEYANTE AND MOUNTEBANK.
Whether as a turfman, a litterateur a
lecturer or a politician, the Earl Of Rose
berry is always interesting Not much
he has been a lamentable failure, as a
Liberal politician he has been even a
greater, because longer and more contin-
uously failure. His latest public ap-
pearance SO far as American observers
may judge it correctly, is a success as
all his several public appearances, save
as premier, have been successes. That is,
his undoubted talent, backed by the pres
tige of a great name, has prevented him
from being universally voted a political
failure and nonentity.
When ether great Liberal politicians in
the past have fallen out with their
party, like Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir
Charles Dixie, for instance, they took
affirmative action. They did not con-
time to hang to the coat tails of Mr..
Gladstone as long as his coat tails We're
available. They went over to the other
side, or at least they severed their con-
nection with their party. None of these
things has Lord Rosebery shown the
courage to do. He has continued to call
himself a Liberal, while repudiating the
Liberal programme and party. OF late
he has been engaged cutting his lonely
furrow'' in politics, and the results are
about as meager as the results of any
other of his literary or political activities.
Why does not Lord Rosebery go over
to Chamberlains party-that is to the
Unionist side of the Tory-Unionist alli-
ance? That is where his latest speech
acknowledge the logic of his position.
He surely cannot expect the mountain to
como to Mahomet in that case. So far
as his speech holds out any belief that
the Unienists may flock to his standard
he shows himself not only too vacillating
and theoretical in his views to be con-
proves himself to be nothing short of a

The fight against the confirmation OF
Attorney General Knox has the merit of
being consistent. even if it is destined to
be hopeless. There can be no doubt in
the mind of the impartial man that Mr..
Knox is not proper person to occupy
the position, and if he had reasonable
amount of self-respect he would refuse
to accept-the Office after the popular pro-
test against him. But disregard for pub
lie sentiment, as we'll as for the eternal
fitness of things, has attained remarkable
development among some people, and
while Vanderbilt may have been the only

lie could be damned, it is probable that

That Butter Trust Again.


Representative McCleary has introduced
in the house the Grout bill without any
changes, to govern the sale of oleomar-
garine The bill confers upon states the
right to regulate the sale of the imported
article, whether introduced in the original
packages or otherwise, and imposes tax
of one and one-fourth cents pound upon
oleo when not colored in Imitation of but

The bill meets the approval Of the dairy
interests generally. The cattle men, who
consider that prices of live stock will be
deprecated by any action detrimental to
the spurious butter manufactures, will
fight the bill before congress. The GrouL

With such man as Hanna the leading
spirit of that administration it was easy
to understand that no approach to JUS

congress and the executive would, indie
pendently of the partisan consideration,
unite in placing schley right before the
country is not being prepared for by
this gang Of cutthroats.
This is cowardly form of attack. Tt
is as cowardly as all the other methods
pursued. 1t may be effective of it's pur-
pose. Indeed from present indications it
is almost certain to be effective. If con-
gress should rise above the paltry con-

There is one way in which the Schley
incident may be given a party political
bias. That is by congress refusing to
do justice, or doing il against the will
of the bulk of the Republican members
of the two bodies. AS the matter stands
now party politics is not involved, and
Republicans and Democrats among the
people are equally disposed to treat the
question as a national one.
It is long cry to the next Demo-
cratic national convention. Doubtless, in
any event, the name of Admiral Schley
will receive more or less consideration
by that body as an available candidate
for presidential honors. If he is to be
the leading candidate for that nomina-
ton it will only be. because the Repub-

This great story of sensational conspi-
racy which makes Burrs life unique in
American history is explicitly set forth IN
this remarkable serial. The historical
characters involved in the story are
drawn true to life, and include, beside
Burr, Mrs Samuel Chick, of Albany, Paul
Livingston, Samuel Swartout, hatchery,
n scheming attorney and banker of Al
bany; Harry Granger, romantic youth,
who had fallen under the influence of Burr
in the East, and who by mlsfortuneS, IN
Guiding the death of his father, had been
impelled to migrate to the then infant
State of Ohio, and Jem BOunder, poor
New Jersey coast fisherman, who had been
acquainted with Granger in the East. Be
sides, there are some minor characters,
more or less typical of the times. Burr's
term as Nice-President having expired IN
March, 1905, and as he was under lndlct-
ment for murder of Hamilton in both New
York and New Jersey. he went West and
organized the conspiracy to found great
Southwestern Empire. Associated with
him in this plot were Blennerhassett, Gen.
Wilkinson, and others of more or less
prominence. Harry Granger was sent by
Burr to Albany with secret message TO
Datchery, and while there renewed his
acquaintance with Miss Livingston, whose
father had been ruined through the trick
cry of the scheming old banker. \ cipher
letter was given to him by hatchery, but
returning West he found that Burr was
still in Washington, so went to his own
home in Ohio While there he lost the ci-
pher letter. Burr returned to the West IN
the Spring OIL 1906 to complete arrange
ments to move South. Harry Granger and
others of the party went to Marietta. ten.

dence. suddenly turns against him and

epiracy.
