THE THIRD PARTY.

The ALLIED Third Party" as the DO
litical organization that was formed
at Kansas City on Wednesday calls
itself, is practically the Middle-o the
Road Populist organization that has
already had it's day. 1t is a safe pre-
diction that it will make no impression
on the country. Very few of the men
interested in it have any prominence
outside of their respective counties. If
the truth were known, it would APP
pear probably that those at the head
of the organization are more anxious
to gain little notoriety with the hope
of eventually getting offices, than they
are to inaugurate genuine reforms.
The speeches that were made and the
platform that was adopted at the Kan
sas City meeting indicate clearly the
sort of men who are managing this
new party. They are not men who
command the confidence of the coun-
try, and the doctrines they teach are
not such as the people want.
OF course, this new party will he
heard of from time to time during the
next three years, and it may even
have the presumption to nominate a
presidential ticket, but it will never
cut any figure in national elections, or
elections of any other kind. The adj
dress which it is going to give to the
public setting forth it's objects and
aims, will not cause a ripple of ex-
element. 1t will not possess interest
enough to justify the newspapers in
giving it a place in their columns.

The worId-wny of the south.
From Success.


Not lost in a languor of blisses,
In valleys sweet breathing of bloom,
Though roses are fain of her kisses,
And stars braid her brows in the
gloom;
Though lilies lean to her and love her,
And the love-song is sweet in her
mouth,
And the world green,-the skies blue
above her,
Sing the South! Sing the SOUTH Sing
the SOUTH
In the strength of high faith she hath
risen,
Her flag on her mountains unfurled
She hath rent the great hills that inn
prison
The glittering wealth of a world.
With the thrill of a new life elated,
The harvest its fruitfulness yields;
And the ships, far sea-faring, are
frightened
With the fleece Of her Towering fields.
Hers all the crowned hills of Endeavor.
The garlands, the triumphs of life;
Her voice is a clarion ever
A battle-song heard in the strife:
With Freedom in fairest communion,
With Liberty facing the Fates,
Love linked to the stars of the Union.
And the flag ripping over the states.

A KITCHEN CABINET.

If President Roosevelt should have
anything like what is known as a
kitchen cabinet it would be composed
doubtless of two members. namely,
Secretary of War Root and Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts. The Presi-
dent is a close friend of both these
gentlemen and has high appreciation
of their abilities. 1t has been said in
the Washington dispatches that he
would like to have Mr.. Root in the
State Department, and, also, that he
would like to have Senator Lodge in
that position. He cannot have them
both at the head of the office of Sec
rotary of State, and, therefore, the
chances are that neither will be asked
to fill it, unless Secretary Hay should
have reasons for retiring to private
life. There seems to be in the ranks
of the Republican party desire that
Mr.. Hay shall stay where he is until
the questions with Great Britain that
are pending are settled.
Mr.. Root is more in the eye of the
country where he is than he would
be in the State Department. The
important questions that are before the
cabinet at the present time relate to
Cuba and the Philippines, and as long
as We have an army in. those islands,
the doings of the War Department will
be of absorbing interest. OF course
the State Department is the leading
one, and its chief is next in succession
to the presidency, but it is not proba-
BILE that there will be another change
in the presidential Office during the
present term.
The probabilities are that Mr. Root
will remain in the cabinet and be its
most influential member-that is, the
President will depend more upon his
advice than upon that of any other
member-and that Senator Lodge will
| be the administration leader in the
Senate. Neither of these men is
a conservative. though Mr.. Root is
much more conservative than Senator
Lodge. The latter is a good deal Of a
lingo. To judge from his speeches,
he would go to war with Great Britain
or any other power without a mo-
ments hesitation if there were
the slightest excuse for doing so. STILL
| a man when he does not feel RESPONSE
/ bility resting on him is apt to be much
more radical than if he welded power
If he becomes the Presidents advisor
in foreign matters he may be less war
] like than he has been when talk
/ ing to the public from his place in the
! Senate.

Too Young In His Position

"A good many years ago." said an
time railroad man to the crowd at
the round house, according to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, "a college kid
was made superintendent of a road in
Pennsylvania. He knew something
about theoretical railroading, but was
very shy on the practical part of it.
One day he was standing in the yards,
and noticed that a yard engine was
shifting cars back and forth and ne
sent for the yardmaster.
Say said the superintendent,
what's the reason you have to chase
those cars back and forth all the time
YoH men certainly have something
more than that to do. 1 want you to
put the cars in the trains as fast as
they come in, and let them stay there.
1.-The yardmaster didn't make any
explanation. He couldn't. That super
intendent is now high officer on a
Western road, and often laughs when
telling the story"

At an evening party a gentleman re-
lated an adventure in which he had
been the principal actor, and, seeing
unmistakable shadows of doubt on the
faces of his hearers, he appealed to a
friend who was present and who had
witnessed the circumstances to corrob-
crate his statement says London An
swers.
To his utter confusion his friend de-
MED all knowledge of the affair.
Meeting some time afterward the
suspected Ananias said:
"Is it possible that you can have for
gotten the circumstance to which / re-
ferred at Mrs. AS party the other
night?"
Certainly not, my dear fellow" re-
piled his friend, but l could see that
every one present looked upon you as
an incorrigfble liar, and 1 had toe
much regard for my character to risk
being taken for another"

NOE A CANDIDATE.

! The statement has been made in the
4 dispatches within the last day or two
! that President Roosevelt is not can
didate for the nomination of his party
for President in 1904. He said to some
of his friends that he was a candidate
before he succeeded to the presidency,
but that he is not now.
If this statement is correct 1T ex-
plains to some extent President Roose-
velt's promptness in saying to the
members of the Mckinley cabinet that
it was his wish that each of them re-
tain his portfolio to the end of the
present presidential term. If he were
a candidate for the nomination in 1904,
he would naturally desire to have as
his advisers men in sympathy with
him. and who would second his efforts
to get the nomination.
If it is understood that he is not seek
ing the nomination, not only will he
have more time to devote to public in
terests, but he will find that he will
have a heartier support from the entire
country in his efforts to administer the
government. If he were a candidate,
every appointment would be closely
scanned with the view of determining
whether or not it was made from the
standpoint of personal interest. Here
in the South, for instance, 1t would
naturally be expected that he would
select those for the offices who could
assist him in getting the delegates to
the national convention. And 1T is
probable that the same motive would
influence his appointments In the
North, though not to as great an ex-
tent, because in that section the Office
holders do not control the conventions
which select delegates to the Republican
National Convention to as great an ex-
tent as they do in the South.
There is no doubt that the President
acted wisely in requesting the McESin-
ley cabinet to retain their portfolios to
the end of his term, and he acted with
no less wisdom in deciding not to be a
candidate for President in 1904. If he
gives the country a good administra-
ton he will stand a much better
chance Of being chosen to lead his
party in the next presidential contest
than he would if he were to use the
power and patronage of his position to
have himself nominated

Judges Lewis and Titus of Buffalo,
who have accepted the assignment of
the court to defend Czolgosz, are brave
men and good citizens. They can ex-
pect nothing for Che performance of
this unwelcome task, not even the
thanks of the assassin or the good
wishes of their friends. Indeed, there
are persons who will condemn them for
undertaking the defense of the murder
er Of the President; nevertheless these
men, eminent in their profession, rec
ognizing that under the law even the
meanest man accused of crime has
rights, have consented to defend those
rights before the court and present
Czolgosz's case in its most favorable
light. Thus the spirit and letter of
the law will be preserved and a per-
feet trial secured. Knowing that their
case is hopeless and that their posi-
ton will be unpopular, these two ex-
justices of the New York Supreme
Court have accepted their thankless
task from a sense of duty to the law
and the state.

Drivers Superstitions.

A policeman at the crossing of
Broadway and Walker street declares
there is only one thing that will make
a teamster check his horses, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. "A
good many funerals pass here" said
he, land most of the teamsters take
a souint both ways on Walker street
before hurrying across. I've seed 'em
check I'D when a funeral was forty
feet from the crossing. They think it s
bad luck to cut in ahead of hearse
But I'll tell you what took my breath

Those who are fond of specializing
upon the old query, what's in a
name" and it's ramifications, have an
interesting subject for study in the
names of the Presidents of the United
States. 1t is an interesting fact that
of the twenty-five presidents only eight
have had more than one Christian
name. In order of succession, there
were George Washington, John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe
before there was a break of one-named
Presidents. Then came John Quincy
Adams. Following him were two more
one-named Presidents, Andrew Jackson
and Martin Van Beuren, and then an
other break with William Henry Harri-
son. Then came John Tyler, and an
other double-name, James X. Polk.
After Polk there was a run of single
names through six administrations,
those of Zachary Taylor, Willard Fill
more, Franklin Pierce, James Buchan-
an, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson. Then came a succession of
double names: Ulysses S. Grant, Ruth
erford b. Hayes, James A. Garfield and
Chester A. Arthur. Since Arthur we
have dropped back into the single
names again, with Grover Cleveland,
Benjamin Harrison, William Mckinley
and THEODORE Roosevelt.

They Were stolen Sweets.

Seen Jones since he got back?" ask
ed the laxative man, according to the
Detroit Free Press. mo? Well, when
you do ask him if he enjoyed his vaca-
ton, but, for Heavens sake, don't let
him know that 1 inspired the question!
1t was his idea. He said he knew OF a
quiet country place where we could
enjoy ourselves and not have it cost
one-half what it would to go to fash
ionable place, so we got together few
congenial friends and under his lead
ership started for the place mentioned.
"One night we were sitting on the
front porch with nothing to do but
fight mosquitoes and listen to Jones
talk. Finally he reached the subject OF
'cooning' watermelons, and we were
forced to listen to his somewhat exag-
gerated accounts of his boyhood expe-
riences along these lines. At last some
one mentioned that an old farmer liv-
ing near by had a fine patch of melons,
and that gave Jones a new idea.
by Jove!' said ne, let's go and
coon some of them!
I'VE declined, as we knew the old
man closely guarded the patch; be-
sides, we felt we were too old for that
sort of foolishness.
'Pooh! said Jones, you're afraid.
Why, l could steal a melon that the
old man was sitting on, and he would
never know it! You just wait here and
III do the trick and give you the treat
of your life! Nothing like a stolen
melon for flavor and sweetness
We'll, he reached the patch, selected
the biggest melon he could find and
was making off with it, when he found
himself in the clutches of two of the
old farmers sturdy sons, who refused
to listen to his excited explanations
dragged him away and locked him UP
in a box stall, where he was obliged 10
pass the night. He was not a pleasing
looking object the next morning when
he appeared in the local court. He was
boiling mad and declared that he would
have the whole United States army
down inside of week to wipe out the
insults that he had been subjected to-
1t cost him $25 in fines for contempt OF
court before he realized that the old
man with the chin whiskers, in his ca
pacity of Justice of the peace, repre-
sented the majesty of the law. Then

CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.

The buildings of the Charleston Ex-
position are rapidly approaching COM
pletion. The tops of them can be seen
by travellers entering the city by the
railroads, and it is positively stated
by the managers that they will be
ready by the time set, namely, the 1st
of December. Doubtless, like the Pan
American and other expositions, the
grounds and buildings will have their
finishing touches put on after the ex-
position begins, but that will in no
wise interfere with the opening.
The outlook for the success of
Charlestons great enterprise is most
encouraging. Besides the special exhib-
it's, which will be for Charleston alone,
many of the exhibitors at the Pam
American and lesser affairs have given
their promises that they will make dis
plays in Charleston.
While the commendable effort of our
sister city is to demonstrate its own
enterprise, the exposition will add to
the prosperity of the whole South, as
it will attract thousands of people who
otherwise would never visit this Sec
ton. Savannah, being Charlestons
nearest neighbor, will doubtless be
greatly benefited by the exposition, as
those who come from a distance will
not return home without seeing Savan-
nah, the greatest commercial city Of
the South Atlantic.
Owing to great expenditures which
this city has incurred, by reason Of
putting in it's new system of sanitary
drainage, the opening of streets, paw
ing and other public improvements, it
is doubtful if the Mayor and Aldermen
will feel able to contribute anything
as a city to Charleston's Exposition,
and the expense incident to having
the State Fair here in November hav-
ing absorbed all the money that is
usually obtainable by individual sub
scriptions, 1t is doubtful If anything
can be obtained from that source.
There is therefore very little hope of
Savannah being an exhibitor.
Charleston, however, should and will
have the hearty moral support of our
people. There Is no petty jealousy in
Savannah, and there should be none
among the cities along the South At
lantic coast There is room for all Of
the seaports to prosper, If they will
but work together to advertise and de-
velop this great country, of which they
are the outlets.
Savannah extends her good wishes
to Charleston in her great undertake
ing. and will do all she can to make
the South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian Exposition a success.

TIE LAST SCENE.

The last scene of the tragedy that
was begun at Buffalo two weeks ago
was witnessed at Canton yesterday.
The remains of the late President were
followed to their resting place by peo-
pie prominent in all walks of life and
by friends and neighbors of the town
which had been his home from the
beginning of his eventful career.
But though removed from the eyes
of men he will not be forgotten nor
will his influence cease. There are sew
eral movements to raise monuments
to his memory, and ii has been decid-
ed by the new administration to carry
out the policies which he originated
and inaugurated. While, therefore, the
business of the country will resume its
accustomed channels, and routine du-
ties of life will go on as before, now
that the funeral is over, the name of
the dead President will continue to be
a household word for years to come,
and the effect of his public deeds upon
the nation will be felt when most of
those who were mourners at his fun

away. Indeed, it cannot be predicted
with any degree of certainty what the
effect upon the republic our newly ac-
quired island possessions are going TO
be.
And, in another way, the influence
of William Mckinley will continue to
be felt. His life will be held up to the
youth of the country as an example to
be followed. 1t was a clean, and an
honest and honorable life. The late
President was man of high ideals in
his relations with the public and in
his home, and he lived up to them.
There has been abundant evidence dur
ing the last week that his countrymen
and the people of most other lands
had a much deeper affection for him
than is usually enjoyed by the heads
of governments.

The American civil officials in Manila
are in a quandary with respect to how
they shall execute capital punishment
upon a murderer whom they now hold
under sentence of death. There is no
civil law fixing the mode of capital
punishment, and the Philippine Com
mission cannot make a retroactive
law to meet the case. 1t is believed,
therefore, that the old Spanish method
of the garrote will have to be resorted
to, however much the Americans may
dislike to employ it. The only alter
native seems to be to commute the
mans sentence to life Imprisonment.

A commission of experts has ex-

rection Of the District Attorney. and
reports that "the present margin of
safety is so small that the necessity
for repairs is very urgent" This is
not very reassuring for the tens Of
thousands of New Workers who cross
the bridge every day. There is said
to be no imminent danger of the col
lapse of the bridge, however. The ex-
perts have suggested means by which
the structure can be strengthened
without materially interfering with
the traffic and at comparatively small
cost
