HIS HONOR, THE MAYOR.
Continued from page ID

II must strike one as odd that this
should have existed so long without
any attempt at Cancellation from either
side. 1t began when the mayor, be-
cause he believed President Lyman
was about to give important commit
teeships to men whom he believed
would improperly use them, stepped in
and appointed the council committees
Up until the recent trip to Topeka
when the mayor and some of his an
tagOnists got rather close together.
there had been no truce or talk of one.
The mayor did not ask the members
of the gang" what they wanted or
intended to accomplish. and they did
not consult with him about proposed
legislation. 1t was a daggers-drawn
situation. IL is yet There will be no
compromise until after election. The
result may be a loss to the gang I'm
membership that will put it out of
business. The mayor will still continue
to transact business at the old stand
whatever the outcome.
Mr. Winnett practiced his profession
for ten or a dozen years in this city
before he entered public life. Some
seven years ago some prominent repub-
leans in the Third ward. men who
knew the sterling honesty and frank
ness of the man. suggested him as a
good man for councilman. His nomi-
nation and election followed. In the
council he made an excellent record.
He made no grandstand plays for pop
ularity. His word was never given save
when he thought the measure just or
ever, he could be depended upon. When
the time came to select a mayor. Win
nett was picked upon as the man. II
was just at the close of an administra-
play of civic virtue but rather bristling
with scandals that nauseated the pub
lie and gave rise to one of those pc
riOdic ebullitions of popular interest in

been the target of much mud-slinging.
none of it has chung to his garments.
Many have misunderstood him. because
he is not man who parades In the
newspapers his reasons for his acts,
although perfectly willing to explain to
all who ask. His strong adherence to
what he believes to be right max KS

but only i'm this sense: Shall he be
supported and sustained in his course
by the public electing men who can be
trusted to work with him? He has
freely told candidates who have sought
his aid whether he is for them or
against him. This frankness is as en-
tertaining as it is unusual. He does
not promise the first man who asks
him. like a great many well-meanirg
citizens do: neither does he say he will
help a man if he doesn't intend to do
so. on the contrary he will tell "A man

CHAMPIONS OF LIBERTY.
tFrom the Colum bus Press


At the great pro, Bocr meeting sun
day aftcrnoon,at Gray's armory, ,Cleve-
land, three conspicuous Democrats sat
side by side, William j. Bryan, John
J. Lentz and Tom L. Johnson. That
there are no prominent Republicans
attending these meetings In behalf of
liberty and freedom is becoming slgni-
ficant and suggestive to those Repub-
Leans who have been accustomed to
hear from their party leaders that
they are 'the followers of Abraham
Lincoln
Does any one suppose that IL Alb
raham Lincoln were alive today, and
a citizen of Cleveland, he would
have allowed anything to prevent his
presence at Gray's Armory when ii
was packed to its utmost capacity with
liberty loving Americans assembled to
exprtss a word of sympathy In behalf
of the brave South African patriots,
and In behalf of the women and chill
dren who are there being starved and
murdered by monarchy?
WIN such object lessons as these go
on forever without making an impress
sion upon the minds OF our teachers
in the public schools, our preachers in
the pulpits, our lawyers and physi-
clans and Others In professional life,
who are supposed to read and think
about the fundamental principles of
the American government?
Can any patriotic Republican who
has intelligence enough to think for
himself, fail to see that the men who
are the champions Of liberty today,

THE EVENING HOUR.

Sweet time of peace, when the swal-
lows fly
10 home and rest meath the quiet
caves;
When crimson bars are across the sky,
And shadows lengthcn behind the
sheaves.
And the dark masked elms are soft
and blurred;
When sun-parched meadows grow
damp and cool,
And distant cries of the night are
heard.
Then darkness broods in the dusky
Where the winged moths fit to
and fro;
While over the western hill remains
The tender light of the after-glow.
Shine, Evening Star! for the hour is
thine,
SHY rival thou to the setting SUM-,
First-born of Night with thy charm
divine,
Shed out thy light, for the day is
done.
steal forth from thy poppy fields, q
Sleep!
The earth grows weary and fair
would rest;
Touch her tired eyes with thy lips
and keep
Her head soft-pillowed upon they
breast.
Come, gentle Night, DER the misty
world
| with silver garments thyself ndorn
And bring, safe hid in thy mantle,
fold,
The golden key TO the gates o
Morn.

How Grant Gave Orders.

Grant was a great smoker even
when 1 knew him. says Mr. Weber, a
Missouri neighbor of Grants farming
days, according to the Philadelphia
Post, but he wasn't a good talker
When it came to action, though, he
never was at a loss" Mr. Dent, his
father-in-law, owned fine specimen
of Durham bull. The big animal was
as powerful and as vicious as any
have ever seen. He broke through ev-
cry fence that was put about him, and
the farmers for miles around suffered
ruined orchards and devastated gar
den patches. The animal would go
among the trees, and, dashing from
right to left, would scatter the fruit
on the ground for yards about. One
day, after a night in which the old
we sent over to the Dent place for aid.
Grant rode back with our messenger.
The bull was racing about the fields,
terrorizing the neighborhood Grant
asked two or three questions as to
losses, then he told some one to get
spoke.
Now, he said, as if he were direct
ing a simple task, catch the bull and
tie this in mis- mouth, bit fashion,
IF anyone else had made the sug-
gestion he would have been laughed
at, but Grants direction was taken as
a command. He took no part in the
proceedings, but turned his horse
about and rode away. The men went
out, caught the animal, gagged him, and
turned him loose again. After a few
days of starving he was completely
broken of his bad habit"

sOUTHERN YELLOw PINE.

Among the interesting facts set forth
in the recent bulletin of the census
bureau on the lumber industry of the
country is the extent of the Southern
yellow pine forests. Nine-tenths of the
Southern yellow pine are in the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkan-
sas, the forests covering approximately
10000 square miles, or about 100, 000,-
900 acres. Over most of it's range the
pine forms pure forests of open stand,
with little or no underground. The
average stand of timber on this area,
the census officials conclude from the
best obtainable information, is not far
from 5000 feet. board measure, per
acre. This would give a total stand
in the states named of 300 billion feet.
The cut of Southern yellow pine tim
Der in the year 1900 was S,523 million
feet, or per cent. of the estimated
stand. Therefore, if the estimate of
the census is approximately correct,
there is sufficient yellow pine to sup
ply the present cut for thirty-three
years, without allowing anything for
growth in the interval. However, it
is not to be assumed that the annual
cut will remain anything like station
airy. 1t has increased greatly since the
last previous census, and there are rea-
sons for thinking that it will continue
to increase for some years to come,
hence instead of having a sure supply
for thirty-three years it may fall out
that. should there be no provisions
made for reproduction. the supply will
be exhausted in twenty-five years or
less.
During the interval between 1890 and
1900 the yellow pine cut in Georgia had
more than doubled, as had also the
cuts of Florida and Alabama. Missis-
sippi multiplied her cut by three, and
Louisiana almost by four. The wooded
area Of Georgia is estimated at AZ, 900
states area, and it is believed that most
of this wooded area is occupied by mer-
charitable timber. Thus it appears that
Georgia's forest wealth is still very
large. Florida has 1900 square miles
of wooded land, most of which is oc-
cupied by merchantable timber. The
wooded area of South Carolina is 30
500 square miles. of Alabama 3S, 300
square miles and of Mississippi 80, 300
square miles.

Lord Salisbury and Public Houses.

A characteristic incident of Lord
Salisbury's attitude towards temper
ance is related by a correspondent,
says the London News. One of the
clergy in the neighborhood of Hatfield,
who was an enthusiastic advocate of
local veto, one day tried to awake his
noble neighbor to the grave impor-
lance of the liquor question. Lord
Salisbury listened with his usual cour-
tesy, but the clergyman felt that he
had made no impression.
Your lordship,' he urged, would at
least admit that an undue multiplied
ton of public-houses in a place is an
inducement to excessive drinking"
Really" said Lord Salisbury, II am
extremely sorry to appear so unsvm-
pathetic but I cannot admit even that
In this e-Hatfield-there are for
ty bedrooms, but 1 never feel more in
clined to go to sleep here than any
where else
The clergyman is understood to have
considered this argument specious but
unconvincing. 1t is a good specimen
of the sort of logical fallacy by which
Lord Salisbury habitually deluded him.
