How ungratefal the Republicans are!
For many years Gen. Grosvenor OF
Ohio has been their most enthusiastic
statistician and prognosticator He
has given them countless numbers OF
demonstrations in figures to show the
invulnerability of the party and the
sacredness of the tariff. But now that
Cen. Grosvenor is confronted in his
district with $1,000 angry miners" and
has begged c. A. Griscom and Pier
pont Morgan to save him from their
wrath. many of the Republican jour
nals are disposed to jeer at him. eff
Gen. Grosvenor's 5000 miners should
devour him." says the heartless New
York Mail and Express, ut would be
much less a calamity for his party and
his country than the stampeding of the
party's advance guard at this mo-
ment" Hasn't the stampede already
commenced? With Grosvenor calling
for help and Henderson seeking tall
timber, it looks very much as If some
ching Of the kind were in progress.

Marriage Formidah1e.

\ For the altar, not the halter" says
the Youths Companion in quoting the
following story from an exchange:
Marriage might easily become more
terrifying than it is to a timid man
If it were to be guarded by such con-
ventionalities as those which alarmed
the young man in the Southwest.
Not long ago a large clothing house
in New York received letter from the
remote Southwest, to this effect.
What is the proper dress for a groom
in the afternoon?''
The CLERK who opened the mail re-
ferred the inquiry to the livery depart
ment. and the head of that department
dictated a brief reply:
"Bottle-green coat. fawn-colored
trousers, with top boots, silk hat with
cockade. We can make you prices as
follows"
In about week came a plaintiye
note; II always knew it was expensive
to get married, but can't you suggest

Inc Chicago News which is a Re
publican paper Of independent. leaning,
thinks that the national ownership of
the anthracite Goa! mines. as demand
ed in the New York Democratic plat
form, is analogous to the situation
when the government takes charge of
a national bank if it's condition is sus-
pected of menacing the public inter-
ests. The government has the power
to close such an institution and put it
out of business if the situation war
rants it, and the News is not sure that
it should not have the same right Of
supervision over the anthracite mines
But where could the line be drawn?
Beef is as much a public necessity as
coal and it is in the hands of a COM
bine as formidable as the coal trust.
Would the News have the government
go into the beef business?

ChociaW Railroad Is Almost
Sure to Come.

When the directors met and began
electing their officers Mr.. Cchn stated
that he had served the club one year and
that his business affairs would hardly
permit him serving another year and he
absolutely reused TO accept the position.
The directors then pointed out to him the

was at present working on and that if
he should leave at this time several pro-
jects which he had brought to the atten-
ton Of the club might not have the atten-
ton they should If he remained president.
The directors then elected him unani-
mously as president and forced him to
accept the position.
Secretary Mann reported that the Choc-
taw road was almost sure to come here.

voted entirely to business and topics re-
lating TO the welfare of Wichita would
be discussed. The members would be
allowed TO invite their friends TO this
meeting and any subject that would ben
eft this city would be taken up and dis
cussed.
Secretary Mann who resigned was made
an honorary member of the club as a
token of respect and esteem for his SER

pare a paper giving the work Of the club
since its organization. This paper will
be read at some of the monthly meetings.
