/OA OU/N MILLER STRIKES
OIL

Joaquin Miller writes to his cousin,
Andrew w. Synder, of Richmond, Ind,
thai he has been quite successful in recent
financial affairs. About eighteen months
ago he wen: to Texas to prospect for an in
vestment in pasture lands. He found what
he thought good outlook and bought 700
acres near Beaumont, the center of the now
famous oil fields. Then there was no
thought of oil. He at once began preparing
a large cattle ranch, but scarcely had he
begun when the great gusher was developed,
and soon his 100 acres were sought after,
and he found himself in the tide of
prosperity. The land cost him $40 an acre,
and he has refused 100000 for the ranch.
AS there is oil all around him, he is content
to hold for better day. Cincinnatus Hines
Miller is Mr.. Miller's legal name. At
present he resides on his estate in California,
and is 90 years old.-New Orleans Item.
The announcement that Joaquin
Miller has made big deal in the
Beaumo ont oil fields recalls the fact
that during his visit here he was
very enthusiastic on the subject of
oil. He expressed the opinion
that the coast from Beaumont to the
mouth of the Mississippi river was
one vast lake of oil. Speaking to the
writer he advised him to buy lanc
anywhere on the coast. The tall,
Santa Claus-like poet of the Sierras
is said to be pretty shrewd business
man and though he seems to hold
in utter contempt the material
things Of life, he knows where to
invest his money. as was shown by
his Beaumont deal. The many
admirers Of the poet will be pleased
to learn ct his success.

Reflections of a Bachelor

New York Press.
There is sorrow without sin, but sin
without sorrow.
Women need very young men dangling
after them to keep up practicing their
delusion of romantic devotion.
1t would be wicked thing to make the
average boys temptation the choice between
his mothers happiness and plate of
chocolate ice cream.
When a man is bored he couldn't hide it
if he could win a million dollars by doing
it; a woman can be bored to sleep and yet
make a man believe he IS making her love
him in spite of herself.
A stitch in time start dressmakers
bill.
If girl has nice, wavy hair she
forgive most anything in the girl who has
not.
There is 100000 miles of difference
between being glad you are married and
being just not sorry.
When women learn not to get off moving
cars backward it will be time enough for
them to begin thinking about their right to
vote.
1t is funny that though pretty nearly
everybody is at the bottom of the lad der of
success, that is where the greatest room is
for more.

Il TTEMPT TO AS.S4 S.S/NA TIE
THE PRESIDENT.

The bloody work of Czolgosz at
Buffalo, which has convulsed the
whole country, is the Legitimate
and inevitable result Of the anar
chlstic utterances of the Emma
Goldmans and the other advocates
of assassination who have been per-
mitted to carry on their business of
murder with impunity. 1t was be-
lieved by some that the charming
characteristics of President Nc
Kinley would have disarmed the
blood thirsty hordes of anarchy
whose murderous hands would have
been directed against some execu-
tive less kind and indulgent; but the
anarchist does not discriminate in
his hatred of all established forms
of government; he is not only the
implacable foe of society, but is
the enemy of all that is respectable
and good The admirable Inca
ments of President McKinley's
character incurred the bell-born
n6IICO VI Tic AC~11SCo OioOu, SnS
cardinal principle of whose damna-
BILE creed is assassination. The
popularity of the president among
all classes of the people made him
q shining mark for the bullets of
the assassin.
The anarchists have mistaken
the right of free speech for license
and they openly proclaim that
murder is the purpose and aim of
their society. Since the attempted
assassination of the president they
have met at Chicago and Patterson,
N. J., and applauded the work of
Czolgosz whom they will crown as
a hero. The attempt to take the life
of President Mckinley was not the
act of fanatic as in the case of
President Lincoln's assassination.
or of partially insane person like
Guiteau, who killed President Gar
field. Fanaticism or insanity does
not mitigate the crime committed
at Buffalo. Czolgosz Is not fana
tic. He is not crazy. He is not
even a fool. He is the perfect
type of the anarchist. To hang or
electrocute him would be made
ouate. 1t would be like trimming
the branch in the hope of destroy
ing the tree. His punishment alone
will be an incentive to the anarchist
society to commit other crimes. 1t
is anarchy itself that must be
reached. 1t must be stamped out
or the Czolgoszes will increase by
the hundreds. The Emma Gold
mans must be muzzled or hanged.
The gang at Patterson must be run
into their holes or killed as SO
many mad dogs, before they are
permitted to inoculate other fiends
with the virus of anarchy. When
a mad dog runs amuck in COM
munity he Is shot down. When
pioneers settle in country they
first kill the rattle snakes. Anar-
chists deserve no better fate.

BRUZAL AND HEART
LESS .SENA TOR.

As was to be expected few ire
mediable fools in the country made
themselves Conspicuous by express
ing satisfaction that the president
had been shot. Among the manv
millions of citizens it is not sur
prising that a few were found to
give utterance to such foolish and
discred,table sentiments. At Wash
lnRton, D. c., mail carrier named
Cartwright, upon hearing of the at
remarked that he was ''glad of it.. !"
The second assistant postmaster
general very properly discharged
Cartwright from the postal service.
A man so utterly devoid of humane
feelings should not be tolerated any
where. He is certainly not fit to
hold an official position. George
Braunraider, an inmate Of the SOL
diers' home at Leavenworth, Kan,
was, with eminent proPriety,
drummed out of the camp and dis
charged for expressing satisfaction
at the shooting of President Nc
Kinley. AT Marion, Ind, three
veterans were put in the guard
house for expressing regret over
the news that the presidents condi-
ton was improving.
The manifestation of such bar
barous instincts was enough to
arouse the indignation of right
thinking people, and the authorities
of the post-ofhce department and
the soldiers homes acted wisely in
summarily Furnishing the offenders.
These expressions of heartlessness
and brutality, coming as they did
from obscure individuals of low or
der of intelligence, will not be given
undue importance, but the extra
ordinary utterance attributed to
Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
will no doubt cause every one to
wonder if a member of the American
Senate could have committed such
an outrage. When informed of the
attempt to assassinate President
Mckinley, Senator Wellington is
reported as saying:
ssMcKinley and are enemies. 1 have
nothing good to say about him, and, under
the circumstances, do not care to say any
thing bad. l am Indifferent to the whole
NATTER
II Is said that when his attention
was called to the foregoing words,
Wellington declined to say anything
on the subject.
1t is uncomfortable that an Ameri-
can Senator could have given ut
terance to sentiments which would
have brought the blush of shame
to the cheeks of a Hottentot. 1t is
safe to say that no other member of
the United States Senate has ever
manifested such shocking brutality.
The New Orleans Picayune and
the Atlanta Journal contend with
good reason that Wellington is not
fit to occupy a seat in the Senate
and should be expelled from that
body, and that his expulsion is de-
handed by every consideration of
national honor and common de-
cency.
We exclude the Chinese from the
United States. Why not exclude
the anarchists? The yellow man of
the East is rot wanted foreconomic
reasons principally. He is far from
being as bad as the anarchist. He
does not conspire to assassinate our
presi dents. The anarchists should
be shut out from our shores. or
rather as many of them as possible.
