Her Conquest.

A Southern dream out here from Ten
nessee for the winter has made the great
conquest of the season, says the Los An
geles Times. Yesterday she received an
offer of marriage from the vegetable
Chinaman. 1t happened on the back
kitchen stairs.
She really took an unfair advantage of
the inexperienced heather. 1t was not
so much her beauty, although she makes
you gasp for breath when she turns it
all on with an obligato of eyelashes; al
though when she swoops in as a wedding
guest she makes the bridal party look
like cheap overflow attraction. 1t was
because she talked with him about his
business and let him talk about himself;
that is fatal to man of any color.
A Chinaman in his wild state was
new sensation to her. She used to rush
out to the back door every morning when
she heard him howl ''VegetablesV'
She asked him where his ranch was and
how early he had to get up and how much
money he made and whether he ate rats
or not. She made him show her how to
write her name in Chinese. Poor John.
She asked him all the things that ten
derfeet always ask Cinnamon.
Yesterday she got so confidential that
Wong had a perfect right to feel encour-
aged.
Say, john" she said, spreading out
handkerchief on the steps to sit on, "are
you married?"
NO" said Wong, with a giggle.
Haven't you got a wife in Gilman"

BRYAN's ATTACK ON CLEVELAND.

From the fact that the newspapers have
said very little about the attack which
Mr.. Bryan made on Mr.. Cleveland in his
paper THE Commoner," the conclusion is
reached that Mr.. Bryan failed to accom-
plish the purpose he had in view. 1t is
assumed either that he desired to draw
MIR. Cleveland into a controversy or to
arouse a feeling of luminosity to him
among Democrats generally.
Here and there a newspaper had said
something in approval of the attack, but
as a rule, as far as we have observed,
the majority of those which noticed it
either condemned il or else took the posi-
ton that as neither had any political flu
ture there was no good reason for vast
ing time in discussing the quarrels of
these former leaders of the Democratic
party. 1t may be that Mr. Bryans at
tack was better received in the West
than in the East and South. 1t is "a
Mr.. Cleveland has many stannch friends
The Petersburg, (Va) Index-Appeal, for
instance, in speaking of the article in
THE Commoner," saidi when Mr.. Bry-
an assumes to reproach Mr.. Cleveland
and his conception of Democratic prin-
ciples, he should pause and remember
that the American people have twice in
dorsed Mr.. Cleveland and those princi-
pies as Democratic and sound, and that
twice they have refused to indorse Mr..
Rrvan and his wild vagaries Of hnapca
and government. On the paramount Is
sues of Imperialism and trusts, I'm a plat
form from which the heresies of Bry,
anism had been eliminated, we believe
the American people would again have
Endorsed Grover Cleveland and his De-
mocracy in 1900, had the opportunity been
given them"
The Index-Appeal certainly makes q
strong point against Mr.. Bryan when II
says that the people twice refused tc
elect him President, and that they twice
elected Mr.. Cleveland. That fact may
be one of the reasons why Mr.. Bryan
seized upon the first favorable opportu
nifty to attack Mr.. Cleveland in his pa,
per. Mr.. Cleveland doesn't seem to b,
seeking any further honors at the hands
of the people. He is attending to sucl
duties as devolve upon him as a private
citizen. and seems to be meeting with tn,
approval of his fellow citizens generally
Under the circumstances therefore i
would be well for Mr.. Bryan to let hin
alone II he cannot treat him with re

THE cHAMnERLArN LIBEL SUITS.

1t is evident from the result of the libel
suits which Arthur and Neville Cham
berlain brought against certain English
newspapers that political feeling in Eng
land is intense. There could have been
no foundation for the charges which the
papers in question made against the
Chamberlain brothers. If there had been
the damages against them would not have
been so heavy.
AS a matter of fact there was no feel
ing against Arthur and Neville Chamber
lain. The purpose in charging in public
prints that the Chamberlain brothers were
able to get contracts from the govern
ment for supplies for the army in South
Africa on much more favorable terms
than could be obtained by other manu-
facturers was to bring Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlsin, Secretary of State for the Colo
MES. into disrepute. Mr. Chamberlain is
by far the most vigorous member Of the
English government, and he has many
bitter political enemies.
1t is quite certain, however, that he
has not been giving his brothers any ad-
vantages in obtaining South African con-
tracts from the government. He is far
too wise to do anything of that sort. He
knows that the chances are that he would
be caught If he were to favor his broth
ers to an extent not permitted by law.
Every public act of his is watched and
suspicious are set af1oat as certaintes.
During the war with Spain it was said
that Abner Mckinley the Presidents
brother was given exceptional advantages
for obtaining government contracts. ID
was asserted that he had such influence
at Washington that he could bring about
fer of merchandise or steamships or any
other thing the government wanted. 1t
is a question whether there was any foun-
dalton for these statements. 1t may be
that he traded on the fact that he was
the brother of the President and was Civ
en- credit for far more influence than he
possessed. As a matter of fact no out and
out charges were ever made that there
were corrupt dealings through him by
which the government was compelled to
pay more than it would have had to pay
otherwise for what it needed for war pur-
poses.
The British newspapers which were so
hasty to charge corrupt practices against
the Chamberlains will be careful in flu
ture to have something more than party
rancor as a basis for their charges 1t
would not be surprising if it should event
ually appear that Mr. Josenh Chamber
lain was behind the suits against the
newspapers for libel. He is an ambitious
man, and is undoubtedly looking towards
the premiership of the English govern
ment. Such being the case he cannot af-
ford to have a suspicion go unchallenged
that he has favored his family in its deal
ings with the government.

GRABBING LEGISLATORS.

That Is a duh day in which the Phil
adelphia newspapers do not point out
some new scheme on the part of mem
bers of the Pennsylvania Legislature 20
grab something. The whole legislative
session, il would seem, has been little
else than a succession of plots to punish
political opponents and schemes to profit
certain politicians at public expense. AS
a consequence scandals have trodden upon
the heels of each other in the legislative
halls at Harrisburg.
One OF the latest of the Pennsylvania
Legislature scandals is known as the coal
land grab. 1t appears that the Board of
Public Property issued warrants early
last month for a lot of valuable coal lands
IN Fayette county, to a certain state sem
ator and other persons, including several
officeholders and politicians. The real
value Of these bands was kept secret and
the price the patentees were charged for
them was merely nominal. By some
means the subterfuge practiced and the
fact OF the grab became known. Then
the senator involved introduced a bill con-
hrming the grants, and is now trying to
drive it through the Legislature as
party measure
In the private investigation made into
this coal land scheme it was discovered
that certain favored persons of political
influence had been purchasing from the
state forest lands for a song, and then
selling them back to the state
at fancy prices, upon the recommended
ton of the Forestry commission that they
be acquired for reservation purposes.
These scandals have followed closely
that OF the attempt of certain politicians
to get hold of the coal under the navi-
gable rivers. The Philadelphia Ledger
thus explains that scheme: THE plan
was to permit any one to take out pat
ents for the beds of streams under the
regulations of the laws relating 10 es-
treated lands. The fortunate patentee
would have to pay the state 26Jh cents
per acre for the land but It would be
worth many dollars, in some cases as
high, 1t is said as $4,000 per acre. The
plan was TO make 1t on it's face a free
for all race, but TO let legislators and
other leaders pre-empt the land, thus
keeping the profits within the family OF
politicians" Members of the Legisla-
ture. district attorneys and various other
politicians had already filed applications
for patents to these underwater coal
lands before the significance Of the bill
was discovered.
Under ordinary circumstances n ,,,oula
only be necessary for such grabs 20 be
exposed for them to be killed out OF hand,
but the Legislature OF Pennsylvania is
Quayite Republican; therefore no grab
is too rank for Il. The majority men,
bers are not In politics for health or
amusement. Like their distinguished
leader. they regard political power as an
ever-bearing plum tree, TO be shaken
early ana often.
