A warm friendship has long sub
sisted between Mark Twain. the hu'

They are In many respects similar and
enjoy many things In common. Mr..
Robson recently told this story OF his
friend:

children, in fact. so often was an ar

stayed with some when they grew
up and made them founders of nations
or discoverers of seas. The boy is the
embodiment of adventure, recking
neither about his freezing red hands
nor about the spanking that will be
his when he reaches home in his wet
boots. Office boys, we suppose. must
have been particularly rebellious
when they were smaller.
The great number of spoiled child

islands is old enough to work, he
leaves school and goes to help his

meat of which is dried and sold to
traders under the name of copra. The

small plantations. where tropical
fruits and vegetables are raised for

It was designed to meet exactly 1.-THE
conditions which are now pointed sout
by the Journal-the leasing or buying
Of newspapers by Stewart and : the
Republican party-t was designed to
throw all the political patronage to|
the Fusion press Of the State to en-
able 1t to be Independent and to re-
ward It for past party services. The
Republican press, however. quick TO-
see the drift Of the bill, raised q
howl Of protest and the Fusion Legis-
lature promptly beat it. That is, the
solid Republican vote OF the house,
aided by such Fusionists as they could
get In line, scored victory against
the newspapers of their own party.
The passage Of this bill would have
given the Fusion party fourteen news
papersssin the next campaign arrayed
solidly for the party and taken a great
deal Of patronage from the enemy, but
it was not regarded as the correct
thing to weaken the enemies line
and strengthen our own at the same
time.
Possibly some Of the short sighted
people who voted against the news
papers in the last Legislature will see
the bad effects of this mistaken policy
next fall, and possibly some Of the
p9rty leaders who refused to assist
in this legislation will realize their
mistake later on. q
This article is not written tb convey
the idea that the Fusion papers pro-
pose to retaliate because of adverse
legislation. We are simply stating the
actual condition Of affairs at the pre-
sent time. The policy of the party has
been to treat it, press in the way de-
scribed and there are many small pa
