THERE seems to be a Every
anxious sentiment" among the
democratic newspapers, which is
finding voice to some extent
among Metropolitan papers, that
are over-zealous, that there will
be two republican state tickets
in the field next year. "Will
LaFollette Run Independent in
Case he is defeated for renomina-
tion," and twill the stalwarts
stand for LaFollette if he is
nominated, are disturbing ques-
tions to some minds Now I'M
less we mistake our guess Cover
nor LaFollette will not run again
unless renominated, and The
TIMES for one-while utterly OPP
posed to his denomination, be-
lieves him SO very much better
than democrat, no matter how
good the latter may be, that it
will support LaFollette if he sue
ceeds in the convention. A poor
republican like LaFollette must
represent a few good principles,
at least, and a good democrat and
a bad democrat are alike in being
devoid of live principles and
issues. There is going to be
no split in the republican party,
but the differences that exist
will be all fought out in the pri-
maries, and conventions and
then We will "all on to glorious
victory. /"

We understand that some OF our
Missionaries were down at Mil
waukee week or two ago, and took
with them some of the fighting cocks
that are kept in the chicken coops
around Washburn. There was a
great 'smeet" of the men who had
poultry that could fight, and the
Missionaries were right in it. Three
of the Washourn fowls won prizes,
and their owners made expenses to
the tournament. Those who claim
to know say that there are no fight
ing cocks like those raised right here
in this part OF the state. They are
hardy and when they s'get into the
game, the result is foregone. Osh-
kosh, Milwaukee and southern Wis
consin sports had to cash up and the
Missionaries raked in the money.
OF course no newspaper could en-
dorse anything SO sporty as cock
fight" no matter how the editor hap
pened to feel about it, but it is the
business Of Milwaukee to- stop such
a thing if it is to be stopped, and as
long as Mayor Rose and his officials
did not see fit to call halt we are
pleased that the Washburn .hens
proved that they were the best in
the tournament

A replevin case is before Judge
Warden that illustrates how sports
men sometimes fail to continue to be
sports. A cripple of our people, one
Albert Erickson and the other
Charlie Shodin, became rather specu-
lative on Sunday-the. Holy day of
the week. at that. and wanted to 90
something to ventilate their feelings.
The proposition was made that Sho-
din wager four~or six dollars against
fur coat worn by Erickson. When
Shodin began to count his coin, he
found that he was a little short Of
the required amount, SO be made a
proposition that he would put up the
two dollars he had with him and
would pay the balance in the morn
ing in case he lost This was salts
factory all around aud the two dollars
and the coat went into the game,
with the understanding that if the
bargain was not carried out to the
exact letter at precisely Line O'Clock
the following morning IN Jack Jack
sons saloon then the one who should
fail to keep the appointment and
come to the terms of the agreement
should forfeit both coat and money.
The dice rolled forth their story, and
the verdict was that Shodin take the
coat, and pay the six dollars for the
same. He deposited he two dollars,
put on the coat and vent his way.
Erickson was on hand at the appoint
ed place at few minutes before nire
O'Clock the following morning and
Slodln did not show up until fit en-
minutes afterwards claimed both TIE
coat and the money Shodin refused
to deliver, and since be had posses
sion If the coat would not reliDqush
1t. Erickson then brought suit to
secure the return OF the coat, aud
Chief Downs commanded Shodin 10
turn over the coal, aud he did sol
after reluctantly taking it off. It is
now in The custody of The court, aud
the spo ting gentleman Will tell their
troubles TO the Judge today, who
will settle he controversy. As Il
was a gambling affair al the way
it is supposed that there
will lot be much question as to WHO
VIII eventually win, as such debts
arr not collectable under any known
law.

County Judge Emery Gets Mad
at Being Dubbed
"Bolier"
He SPEAKS HIS MIND
BARDWELuS LIVELY PROSPECT

The fractional fight in the Democrat
ic party of McCracken county is in
creasing in bitterness, and County
Judge Emery, a. result Of being
alluded to in an organ dominated, ap-
parently, by the Potter faction, as a
"bolter," is very mad today, and
announces that while at first he was
determined TO relinqrish his claims TO
the craftsmanship, for the sake of har
mony. he is now determined to fight
it out to the end, and will attempt to
preside over the senatorial convention
at Bardwell a week from tomorrow,
a pleasant duty that the other chair
man Of the committee, Mr.. Potter, is
also duly prepared to discharge.
Judge Emery stated this morning
20 a reporter that he will allow the
state central committee to settle the
dispute, and harmony can take care
Of itself
II went so far" he said subst
italy today, las TO tell Mr.. Pets
that there would be no contention in
the opening OF the Bardwell conven-
ton, for the sake Of keeping harmony
in the party. have done everything
possible 20 preserve harmony, but
since have boon dubbed a 'boltor,' |
shall lay the matter before the state
central committee, and let it decide
who is the 'bolter' still consider
myself chairman Of the county Demo
cratic committee. and while was
willing to relinquish my claims NJ
one time, since these later develop
ments, shall insist on the proper
authorities deciding the matter"
This further complexities matters,
for it isa well known fact that Judge
Emery and Secretary Eaton have the
support and sanction Of the state cen
trail committee. which cannot, having
gotten them into it. now desert them
Yesterday representatives Of the
Potter men went to Secretary Eaton
and wanted him to give mp me rec
ords and funds Of the committee and
rolinquish his claims 10 the Office with,
out contention, nut he told me 10 ''go
to-" and that he would relinquish or
give mp nothing.
Another feature Of the fight is that
Chairman Potter and his adherents,
who have heretofore ignored the state
central committee, and profossed not
TO care what IL did or decided, are
now making a play for Its support, by
circulating a petition asking reoogni-
tion for Mr., Potter and Mr.. Lydon a.
the legally constituted chairman and
secretary Of the committee. This IN
dicaies to the men ON tho other side,
that Mr.. Potter and his friends are
becoming a little afraid Of the result,
Il was reported that Congressman
wheeler declined to sign the petition
circulated by Mr. Potter. Mr..
Wheeler Is not in the city today, but
it was given out at mss Office that he
is not concerned in these petty fights
and has no interest in them one way
or the other
The tug Of war will doubtless come
when both Messrs. Potter and Emery
attempt TO preside over the senator
ial convention at Bardwell Saturday
week. II there isn't a rough house,
indications are pot worth much this
kind Of weather.

BALANCE OF POWER IN NATURE
 It is curious to observe how fre- quently the progress of an animal or plant race, otherwise triumphant, Is liable to be checked by the attack of some emeny that appears suddenly, or, at least often unexpectedly, on the scene. Especially is this event wit world; and but for the operation of some such principle in nature we should be in danger of being overwhelmed by certain species, to the exclu
 sion of many other forms. There is no doubt that the insect tribes inf1ict much damage on crops and fruits, and in many cases render the efforts and works of the farmer and gardener null and void. But, on the whole, the balance of power in nature is very fairly sustained There is scarcely species of animals which does not in. clude in Its history a list of particular foes, and the increase of the one race implies the undesirable attentions of the other. This warfare among insects especially, and between insects and birds, and even between insect species and lower plant foes, can be illus. trated by numerous examples drawn from the experiences of naturalists.
 One of the latest observations on this head relates to the Nemesis that follows the trail of the caterpillars known as the "army worms which in Australia eat up and destroy the twallaby grass. This devastation is dis
