The Hartford Times thus whistles as
it passes through the graveyard: Re-
publican politicians seem unable to
realize that a great many Of their fell
low citizens are tired OF them and really
want to try managing their affairs for
themselves awhile. We can assure them
that there are many such and that they
are really in earnest in the foolish be-
lief that their theoretical right to self
government ought to count for some
thing in practice
True enough, but the Republican
managers will be safe as long as the
Democratic managers continue to man
age as they do.

Some interesting things are going on
in that part of the West which is to be
affected by the new irrigation policy of
the government. A government agent
reports that at all the sites where the
government proposes to construct arti-
fetal streams and rivers a horde Of
spectators has pre-empted the land by
entering claims for homesteads. Nine
tenths Of the land which it is proposed
to make valuable by diverting to it wa
tiers which are now wasted is public
domain, and as such is open to home
stead entries. Private individuals now
own small lots of land which will come
within the scope of the irrigation
schemes and will naturally benefit by
the improvement, although they will
have to pay for it just as the others will
who buy up the public land. AS soon
as it became known that the govern
nlent proposed to build a reservoir at
a certain spot for the purpose of pro-
viding water for another section there
was at once rush of homesteaders to
enter claims for the territory to be wa
tered. While it is believed that most
of these persons are taking out claims
for speculative purposes, there is moth
ing to prevent them from doing so. But
it Is much in the nature of a gamble
with them, for there is no certainty
that they will be permitted to retain
their claims. Under the homestead law
they can take out claims for $50 acres
each, and they are demanding that
much territory now. But the irrigation
act provided that irrigated land shall
be given away in lots of not less than
forty acres and not more than 100 acres.
The secretary of the interior is to de-
eide the size of the grants under this
act, and he has not yet taken up the
matter.
1t is hard to get ahead of the smart
people of this country. They know a
good thing when they see it, and free

wishes and rapid-revolving fakirs; but
the mass Of the people is sober and hard
headed, able to make up its own mind
and no friend to Mysteries. Americans
would be in chronic state of nervous
prostration if they worked themselves
into frenzy every election.
This year there is about the usual
amount of piping, and perhaps not
much more than the customary amount
of refusals to dance. Business is so
brisk that politics are a little dull.
Folks seem satisfied, can't be fright
ened, and there is nothing in particular
to brighten them with. In this state
the large registration is proof sufficient
that there is no real want of interest.
The jump of the New York democrats
into the socialist briar has had it's
effect. The registration shows that.
No doubt the New York voters are
'apathetic." That is, they are calm
and they know what they are about.
They are not in raptures or agonies,
but they mean business.-New York

SAME OLD APATHY.
A Theory That Newspapers Are Dis

A Theory That Newspapers Are Dis
placing Campaign Customs.
In the language of our ancient and
wise friend, The Old Farmers All
manac, about this time look out for''
apathy. And divers observers are look
ing out for it, discovering and making
note Of 1t. Apathy in New England.
Political meetings there very SLIM"
Apathy in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan,
California and everywhere. Brass
bands and orators pump in vain. The
people are deaf to them. Apathy reigns.
So newspaper after newspaper tells us
and sage after sage ways a solemn
poll.
Now this same apathy has pre-
vailed in and about every election that
we remember At least, it has been
said to prevail. If the voters don't get
red in the face with their howlings,
talk or yell politics all their afternoons
and evenings and make monstrous
hullabaloo all the time, then sapience
calls them cold and apathetic But,
for the most part, voters have put
away childish things. They have got
something else to do than to march and
hurrah. They can do their full political
duty without making mighty pother
about it. The newspapers give them
as much politics as is needed for
human natures daily food. Political
meetings and small-bore political
spouters are an old story. Few are the
speakers who stir intellectual curiosity.
1dleness, habit, duty to the "organi-
zation," send men to the political meet
ings where no famous speakers are to
appear. There is much of the cut-and-
dried about these affairs. The "stam-
per- or hired maker of applause is not
unknown. Out in Ohio Tom johnson
uses the old trick of paying men to
stand up in his circus tent and ask him
questions and be overwhelmed by his
triumphant replies.
In this age Of the trolley, the tele-
phone and rural free delivery, the
farmer can sit at ease at home, read
his paper, and never bother his head
with the sound and furry of the stump.
He has all the more time to make up
his mind. He is quiet and deliberate,
that is "apathetic." Judgement takes
the pace ol entHuSldSnn. In way,
apathy, so-called, is only a higher in
telligence. the preference of common
sense to fireworks.
The frequency of elections has a
natural tendency to reduce the
temperature of political feeling. The
pot can't boil all the time. The
country scarcely needs TO be saved
every year; and even the Hon. Sucker
Rod Sam Jones of Toledo can't stand
on his head more than 30 seconds at a
time There are plenty of dancing der

PLANNING A NEW SPANISH NAVY

PLANNING A NEW SPANISH NAVY.
The new Spanish navy isn't built yet,
or being built, but it is being planned.
The committee appointed to consider
the matter reported in favor of the con-
struction of twelve battleships, ten
cruisers and seventy-six smaller yes
sells. 1t is expected, however, that a
rather more moderate scheme will be
submitted to the Cortes. This includes
the construction of ten battleships of
$4,000 tons each, six to ten cruisers of
1000 tons, six torpedo-boat destroyers
of 240 tons, thirty-two torpedo boats of
1870 tons and forty of seventy tons,
twenty gunboats of 300 tons for the pro-
lection of the coasts, the fishing, the
Canary and Balearic Islands and Fer
nando Pc; two training ships, mixed
steam and sail, for cadets, and three
sailing ships for training quartermas-
tiers and men. The cost of building
these vessels would be from $100,000,0o0
to $125, 900, 900, and the ordinary annual
charge for the navy would rise to be-
tween $15,000,000 and $4,000, 600. The
chief disagreement between the men,
bers of the committee was as to the
battleships, one proposal being that
they should be Of $4,000 tons displace-
ment, and another that they should be
from 5000 to 10000 tons.
Tt is to be hoped that when there is a
new Spanish navy it will not have to
meet quite such melancholy fate as
the old one did.

wear about 1000 acres of land at an
average price of ST per acre, This land
lies in the northern part Of the State,

wildly regarded as worthless for agri-

Here is a story from England: A re-
triever not long ago was sent into a
ditch to bring out a winged partridge
The dog picked up the scent, rushed
along the bottom of the ditch under the
brambles, and after a little cropping
about emerged on the bank with an old
rusty kettle, holding it by the handle.
Laughter greeted this performance.
Stop Bit said the dogs master.
Here, Rover, give it to me-" And the
dog brought the kettle to him. Taking
lit from his mouth, his master put his
hand into the kettle, the lid being off,
and took out the partridge. Chased by
the dog, it had crept into the kettle to
hide, and the dog. not being able to
draw it out, just brought the lot

They use much asphalt for street
paving in Buffalo. This is the way
they take care of them: The business
streets in Buffalo are never sprinkled
They are cleansed on a. block system
I during the day. The dust is piled into
heaps constantly, so that it does not
accumulate, and the piles of dust are
taken away at night. Thus the asphalt
is always absolutely clean and dry,
horses do not slip, automobiles are not
rendered uncomfortable, and the lives
of pedestrians are not endangered
Once every three nights these streets
are flushed thoroughly and then rubbed
dry with rubber scrapers. The less
busy streets are sprinkled very lightly
and swept at night.

For time immemorial The News has
advocated the patronage Of home indus
tries; it has devoted columns of its
space in advising the people Of Paris and
Bourbon County to purchase their goods
from home merchants whenever it was
possible. THE News feels now that its
readers will bear with it while it regis
tiers kick against an unjust discrimi-
nation against the home printing offices
made by local concern which has
every thing to gain by pa ronizing home
offices.
The East Tennessee Telephone Com
pany, through its manager at this
place, conceived the idea of issuing a
directory, which it was obliged to
furnish its patrons, and make it self
paying by securing advertisements from
our local merchants. A canvas of the
town was made, and to the credit of our
merchants, be it said, they we're enter
prising enough to overlook the misera-
bic and long continued bad service
given by this concern and advertised
literally; to such an extent, in fact,
that enough wa; derived from the ad-
vertising alone to not only pay for hav-
ing the book printed in Paris Office,
but leaving very snug little sum as
profit.
It would seem that this would have
been enough to have satisfied the greed |
of almost the most exacting corpora
ton, and they would have been glad to
have given the work to a home Office,
ard thereby still leave the money given |
by the merchants in circulation here at
home. But not so with this enterpris-
ing (?) manager. For a difference of
only few cents page, and a few
dollars on the entire publication, he
threatens to send the work to printing /
out of the State entirely. |
This may possibiy-be looked upon by |
the employers of the local manager as a |
very shrewd move on his part. and may
possibly be the means of his securing a |
more. lucrative and exalted position
than that which he now holds, but it
will not make the average business man
of Paris believe that this corporation,
which owes its very existence here to
the liberalitY and long-suffering of our
people. has the interest and welfare of
our community at heart, nor that they
would MT hesitate to deal with other
branches of our trade here, should OPP
portunity offer, as they have with the
printing offices.
