A CLEAN SWEEP.

The people of Hawaii are to be con

yirile Young men who have come TO the

others who could be named, throwing
thsir whole energies into practical poll

There is much general, and some
specifc talk going about town in favor
of "a clean sweep of office holders, IN

velopments. An afternoon paper names
Marston Campbell and Henry Hapai as
probable victims of the clean sweep,
policy.
There are some poor sticks IN the
public service, and the sooner they are
pulled up the better; but the PROPOSE
ton that because the head of depart
mont changes. or because one party
elects its representatives to the leglsia-
ture. therefore the working subordinates
should be discharged to make room Tor
friends of the successful political lead
ers is one of the most vicious excres-
cences which has attached itself 10
American politics. 1t is policy which
tends to compel every public employee
to become an Offensive PARTISAN rath-
er than an efficient public servant.
There is no denying that, other things
being equal man who is active in
promoting party welfare should have
the preference over one who is indif-
ency requires it; but after all, the in
terests of the public and of the party
are better served by an earnest, hard
working public servant attending TIC his
business, than by one who is rushing
around "whooping it up at ward meet
ings.
If there are incompetent or unfaithful
government employees in office, let them
be removed by all means; but in the in
terest of enlightened and progressive
government, let the sweeping process
stop there.
So far as the general public are in
formed, both Marston Campbell and
Henry Hapai are the kind of men who

to throw in their influence with the
older and more conservative element,
and hold the party to the conservative
and wholesome principle that tenure of
Office in the civil service shall depend
primarily upon merit and faithful per-
formance of duty rather than political
activity, of which principle Theodore
advocate.

Campaign Incident.

All Ohio is taking generous interest
in the circus campaign Of Tom l.. John
son, who is ambitious for democratic
preferment. In discussing the situa-
tion the other day, DR.. E. w. Sullivan
of Cleveland, well-known Ohio demo-
crat, told several stories of other siren
uous campaigns in the Buckeye state.

stumping tour which the late Gen. VIM.
H. Gibson made many years ago,
when he was state treasurer. A short
time before the campaign opened a

urers Office. 1t was clearly traced to a
previous administration, and really
added to Gen. Gibson's reputation for
integrity.

town in Western Ohio, and got an un-

FARM NOTES.
Results is what counts on the farm.

Results is what counts on the farm.
The man who does the most with
available means in farming is the most
successful.
The good farmer forms partnership
with nature rather than become poor
ly-paid hireling.
Every farmer should keep his mill
ready to grind when the winds blow,
bnd his fields ready for the showers
when they fall.
Everything on the farm that is worth
doing at all is worth doing we'll.
The farmer who fills his mind with
put-off jobs seldom fills his barn with
provender.
1t is estimated that 1000, 900 cattle
will be transferred from Texas ranches
to the Dominion Of Canada on account
OF the lapse of leases and diminished
pasturage.
Beautify and improve the home so as
to make it attractive to the family and
an object Of admiration to the visitor.
The dairyman must not imagine that
COWS can have the opportunity to drink
too often.
Never stint the milch COW in quantity
nor impair the quality OF her food.
In cold weather the temperature of
cream should be proportionately higher
Never churn in cold room in cold
weather, as the cream will cool too
rapidly.
Rams should be put with ewes in
tended for breeding about five months
before the lambe are wanted. Early
lambs must have careful attention and
be provided with good shelter.
Leaves for bedding should be gath
cred when dry and as rapidly as they
fall. Be sure and get an abundant
supply.

Chief Justice Beard, decided the case
OF A. Buffet VS., S. P. Coudon ct al. +,
holding that the quarterly county court
of Knox county exceeded its authority
in making large appropriations last

nues.
The court held that in such cases sec.

the court would not pass on the ques
tion of whether the court could appro
pirate in excess of the revenue in gen

Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another bones. A correct died will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A

learned from perfectly reliable source,
is in favor of cutting down the congress
sional representation of certain south
ern states. He has been persuaded to
take this view of the matter by his po-
litical advisor, Postmaster General
Payne, who claims that the south has
been disfranchising negro voters and
at the same time receiving representa-
tion as though their votes had been
cast. There seems to be no doubt that

MR.. CARMACK ON RESULTS.
Junior Senator Tells Why Democrats

ing OF the previous days election the

of carrying the house. 81 have posi-
lively refused" said he, "to make any
predictions as to the result, though
several newspapers have kindly credit
ed me with number OF rosy prognosti-
cations, not one word of which l ever
uttered"
'"To what do you attribute the failure
of the democrats to carry the house?"
"The democratic party is still in the
shadow of the last great panic, replied
Mr.. Carmack. "The one republican
argument that was really potent and
effective in the last as in the preceding
campaign was, You had democratic
administration and you had hard times.
Now you have republican administra-
ton and you have good times. Where
ever have been / have found that this
was the one appeal that never failed of
its effect. While there is q strong and
growing sentiment against the trusts
and against our exhorbitant tariff sys-
tenn, it is still fact that in the minds
of thousands Of people what is dubbed
tariff tinkering' is identified with pan
ic, industrial disturbance and hard
times. Among workingmen who now
have good jobs, but who were walking
the streets without bread while Cleve-
land was president, it is easy to excite
apprehensions of returning panic. Mark
Hanna's motto, Let we'll enough alone,
was the sign up under which the repub-
lican party went to victory"
SIS this not q rather discouraging
view for the future?"
"No. The republican policy must
work out its own damnation. The full
significance of it will be revealed in
time, and ] think it will be in a short
time. In the meanwhile, the demo-
cratic party must stand fast by its prin-
ciples, against tariff robbery, against
monopoly in all its forms, against i'm
perialism at home and abroad. This
may seem to give color to the republic
an charge that we are an army of oppo-
sition, but an army of invasion must
always be met by an army Of opposi-
tion."

ELOQUENT LEGS.
Actors and Lecturers Obtain HumOr or
PathOS From Limbs.

"By the way, did you know that the
legs can be used to good advantage by
the man who is much accustomed to
appearing in public, such as lecturers,
speakers and so on?" asked an observ-
ant man. 'It is fact, whether you
know it or not. can guess the drift
of your mind, but candidly 1 am not
thinking of any funny business now.
OF course, the first thing that will occur
to you is the stag, and the rare and
racy shows which are sometimes put
ON, with a gorgeous display of frills
and flubdubberies, kicks in high key,
serpentine whirls, AipAap ladies, cho-
rus extravagances and all that sort of
thing. There is something in that,
too, but speaking of the stage, 1 can
get more serious and sober glimpse
of the very thing have in mind by re-
calling some of the noted men of the
stage in the last quarter of a century.
Salvini's use of his legs in "A Child of
Naples, or the Three Guardsmen,
may be mentioned. His leg gestures,
if | may use the expression, were more
impressive than any movement he
made with his hands and arms. Some
how they seem to give better portray
al of the idea than any other thing
said or done by the great tragedian.
Take that popular and finished actor,
Sol Smith Russell. Can you imagine
anything more striking than the way
in which he used his legs in "A Poor
Relation, or in 'Bewitched?' It was
OF the very esence of the plot. If the
actor had not spohen a word 1 feel that
/ should have understood how he felt
and what he meant. 1t was dumb
sort of leg eloquence and leg pathos.
Go to the lecture platform. Did you
ever notice the peculiar, jerky stride of
Ex-Governor Bob Taylor? In his witty
flights half the humor seems to be in
his legs, and when he throws his limbs
back he seems to unjoint them at the
knee so they bend and curve IN the
wrong way. 1t is awfully funny. And
there was the fatfooted, impressive
stand of Bob Ingersoll, who literally
lowered, growing out of his shoes into
the splendid proportions of giadt, and
yet never moving muscle of his body
beyond those disturbed by the elo-
quence which rolled from his tongue.
1t was simply the fat-footed, stff-leg-
ged stand that impressed you. 1t gave
you the idea of vigor, earnestness, un.
faltering determination. | might go
on to other examples, but these in
stances are sufficient to give you the
idea in outline at least They will
show that the public speaker, whether
on the lecture platform, the stage or
the hustings, can make good use of his
legs. New Orleans Times Democrat.

r. r. Co. Law cause. Washington

Action for personal injuries, with a
verdict in favor of the defendant. Plain
tiff was injured while working for de-
fendant, engaged in the erection of a
temporary bridge. The negligence al
legged was the failure to use proper care
and caution in the employment of the
fellow servant through whose negli-
gence the accident occurred. From
the evidence it does not appear the ac-
cident resulted from the incompetency
of the servant in question but from an
entirely different cause. There was no
error in the action of the trial Judge in
refusing a new trial for newly discover
ed evidence, as it would have availed
nothing. There is no error in the courts
charge, which is very clear and appli-
cable to the case. There is no merit
whatever in the case, and a reversal
would be of no benefit to plaintiff. At
