A Political serinI story.

on Tuesday next the Journal will begin the
serial publication OF "Shacklett. a Story Of
American Politics by Walter Barr. This is
an extremely realistic tale OF practical poll
tics" covering the entire field from precinct
primaries TO state conventions. and tracing the
evolution OF a statesman from a township office
to the Offices Of governor and senator, with an
intensely interesting description Of some kinds
OF lobbying. II is a clever study OF politics and
OF character. The author treats his subject
from a different point OF view from that taken
by most writer's who deal with politics in he-
ton. He does not undertake TO portray a model
character in Shacklett. the leading parsonage Of
the tale. but. on the other hand. he does not
condemn ais failings and lapses as unpardon-
able. but points out the forces that govern his
actions In short. he stands in a sympathetic
attitude toward his thoroughly human hero.
The incidents take place. for the most part, in
southern Illinois. with which region the author
Is evidently entirely familiar. Some interest
attaches TO the fact that Mr.. Barr, whose home
IS now in Iowa. was at enc time a resident OF
this State and connected with some OF its news
papers, among them George Harding's famous
Mirror. to which he was a contributor. The
Journal anticipates that its readers will derive
much enjoyment from this tale. since it presents
phases OF life with which they are so thoroughly
familiar. A pretty love story forms an impor-
tant part OF the narrative. ''Shacklett' Will
appear only in weekday issues of the Journal.

1t is evident the fools are not all dead
yet when a Democratic convention declares.
as the Ninth district convention at Lebanon
did, that I'VE refer with just pride to the
brilliant record of our leader, William ].
Bryan. in the two last presidential cam
paigns, and believe that even in defeat we
nave achieved a victory for the people and
a demonstration of the truthfulness of the
declarations in our national platform of
1900" AS the nomination of the peerless
leader contributed materially to the re-
election of Mckinley in 1900 it certainly
was a victory for the people.

British Treaty Opposed.

PEKING, Aug. 15~.-Opposition to the
British commercial treaty will evidently
necessitate lengthy negotiations before the
interests of the various powers concerned
can be harmonized and the Chinese system
of taxation reformed. The United States
and Japan oppose an increase in the Gus
toms dues, and, particularly, in the export
duties. Russia objects to that feature of
the treaty which increases the powers of
the imperial customs establishment, in view
of the British understanding that the
chiefs of the Chinese customs be English
men as long as there exists a preponder-
nee of British trade. Portugal is contend
ing that her goods should be admitted TO
China at the former rates. inasmuch as she
has not signed the protocol.
