Those republicans who thought that President Roosevelt was not enough of a dyed-in-thewool party man, or that he could not be red-hot parti- san when necessary, have changed their minds now. His decision in the Schley case has quieted their fears and at the same time it has carried out the republican program mapped out months ago to snub Schley and place Sampson on the pinnacle of fame. It is too late in Simpsons case, if his health is as poorly as re ported. In Schley's case we feel sure it will have just the opposite eff feet from that intended. The people of the country are conversant with the details of that great battle which has brought about this controversy, and while they would have welcomed q ruling that did justice to Admiral Schley, despite the one given, they are of the same opinion still, that Schley was and is the hero of Santi- ago. President Roosevelt has lost some of the backbone he was said to possess, and some of his strenuous, rough rider tactics since he became president. He is in the hands of the politicians now, and they will take good care that he doesn't oyerstep the republican bounds too far. A number of the lawyers in Hartford county have had sample of what in fiuence can do during the week, when, in spite of protests, Senator Platt of NIeriden succeeded in getting his un. known son placed on the bench. We do not imagine for a moment that Ad- miral Schley or his attorneys looked for a different ruling from President Roosevelt, and so they are not disap- pointed.

CLOTHING 4 HEN.

An old hen belonging to Mrs NJ. A. Stormont began laying late in the fall and was so persistent that she laid twenty-six eggs before she concluded to stop. During all this time she had been neglecting her moulting, and when she finally got ready to shed her feathers it was in the middle of win ter, but the old ones had lost their life and were dry and harsh, conse- quently there was no other way but to make the change. Tn short time she was almost bare and suffering from the cold. The Misses Stormont, seeing her predicament and appreci- ating the value of her service ren- dered, determined to come to her res cue. They accordingly took the old hen into the house, took her measure ments, made her suit of fiannels to fit, and then released her. Her lady ship took the matter very philosoph- ically, and hustled off to her compan- ions, apparently very comfortable in her new suit.--Ansonia Sentinel.

Representative Ryan of Buffalo, N. Y. says the charge of corruption made by the democrats against the Buffalo republican municipal officials has been fully proven, and that the evidence is not all ill. The situation IS summed up by MT Ryan stands thus: The city treasurer is under ar rest charged with grand larceny, and the full extent of his dedication is still in doubt; the sheriff was re- moved by Governor OdelI for neglect of duty; the deputy county clerk has been sentenced to the penitentiafy for three and half years for in- creasing jurors vouchers and appro- priating the money to his own use, and even the coroner has been brought into court charged with rob- ping the dead at the morgue. MT Ryan thinks these things make it certain that Buffalo will elect demo- cratic city officials at the next oppor- tunity.

TIT FOR TAT.


 Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, hero of campaigns, has met defeat in an en- gagement of wits. He has been van, quished by a woman. The victor i'll the little dinner table tilt was Mime Melba, and the scene of the occurrence the house of a member of the British aristocracy.
 Mime Melba, at this dinner, was seat ed at the right of Lord Wolseley, who was at the right of the hostess of the evening. Lord Wolseley at the begin ming of the dinner asked of the hostess: ''Who is the lady at my right?"
 s'Why, that is Mime Melba."
 s.Who is this Mime Melba?'
 s'Is it possible that your lordship does not know the great singerl"
 "Oh, yes. Born in Australia, I be- lieve." And with that the general ap- piled himself to the course then served. After q few minutes he turned to the prima donna, greeted her pleasantly, and said::
 You are an Australian, I believe, your country. My brother lives in Melbourne"
 And, pray. sir what is the name of your brother?" the singer naively in quired.
 Goodness! Why, his name is the same as mine, Wolseley," answered the surprised officer.
 "Who is Wolseley? do not recall that name.' Mme. Melba replied.
 Why, am General Wolseley," re- piled the astonished officer.
 Wolseley? Wolseley? Wolseley ?' whispered the singer, as if appearing to refresh her memory. And then the general applied himself again to the food He had learned his lesson.-- Philadelphia North American.

RIGHT SHALL RULE.

By Ia. EDaERTON.
Short is the triumph Of evil,
Long is the reign Of right;
The men who win by the aid Of sin,
The nation that rules by might, ri
The party that lives by corruption,
The trickster, the knave, the thief,
May thrive for time on The fruits Of
crime,
But their seeming success is brief.
Sheer, II you will, at honon;-
Make virtue theme for Jest;
Reflect on the man who strives as he can
To seek and to do the best;
Make goodness butt for slander,
And offer excuse for vice;
Proclaim the old lie, the corruptionist's
cry,
Thatevery man has his price.
Yet know that the truth shall triumph,
That evil shall find Its doom;
That the cause Of right, though subdued
by might,
Shall break from the strongest tomb /;
That wrong, though it seems to triumph
Lasts only for day, W3
While the cause of truth has eternal
youth,
And shall rule DER the world for aye.

SCRANTON, MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY MARCH %, 1902

which q pretty girl is capable, yet no
word OF affection or love could l bring
from that dear boy. Had he only
known how completely was his he
would not now be an occupant of an
obscure grave on Calvary Hill.
HINT OF PRISON ALARMS HIM.
THE last night he came to see me
was April 10. He was unusually gay
that night and l resolved to gain
from him one word OF compliment or
one little cavess, which l found other
men only too willing to offer. When
he arose to go went to the hall and
got his cane and hat, and l took the
brim OF the hat between my teeth,
put my head through the curtains,
and assuming a most coquettish and
saucy pose, | said: You're my pris.
oner.'
"As ii seemed TO me afterward he
suddenly turned pale and a terribly
frightened look came into his eyes.
He quickly recovered himself, seized
me 10 his arms. pressing me tightly
to his breast, just long enough to say:
mo, Pm not your prisoner, but
you're mine, and the sweetest one
ever captured.
"He never offered to kiss me, but
almost roughly pushed me aside,
grabbed his hat, which had fallen to
the floor and rushed from the house
without even saying good night.
THE next time l saw Ed Wilcox
he was In a prisoners dock on trial
for murder. My God, how my idol
was shattered! My handsome Ed
was murderer! "
III Ed had ever made any protesta.
tiOns OF love he would never have
been in need Of funds for his children.
Yet once, when lifted my veil during
the trial, he recognized me and blush.
ed furiously. That blush almost
made me 60 to his aid.
II went to his lawyers Office twice
but both times turned away without
going In. l was on my way to spend
500 for a wrap, when l. read an inter.
view with Ed Bddle's attorney to the
effect that it required $500 to get a
writ for the Biddles. l decided to
spend the money for a writ and called
at She jail. was refused admission
to see Ed, but called on you, Mrs.
Soffel. went to the Jail and wrote q
note to Ed Bddle, inclosing 5000. 1t
was never answered, and l don't be.
lieve he ever received IL.
"As l knelt 10 the snow in Calvary
cemetery beside the open grave Of
Edward Biddle, prayed to God as l
never prayed before that his ignomi.
nious death might be avenged.
II sincerely hope in the near future
to meet you, and l assure you it will
not be my fault II l don't.
