The Democratic press will attempt
to make much out of the fact that
New York has given a Democratic
majority in the recent elections. The
circumstances that turned the result
in that state are too familia ar to the
reading public to need more than a
passing notice. The municipal adj
ministration of Mayor Low in New
York city had been Of the reform
kind. There was not an evil in thp

could be suppressed where it W. as not.
done: This angered the class of pep
pie who, to borrow an" expression from
the street, were pinched, and they:
very naturally opposed the reelection
Of this administration. Then there
was a large number of people who
were deceived by the promises made
in the first Low campaign. The
over Jealous friends Of reform, prom.
Used the reforms that no man
with only the mayoralty power could
inaugurate or carry out. Many Of the
best people who had helped to hold
the lines solid in the former campaign
were disappointed because all the re-
forms promised were not and could
not be made. These people remained
away from the polls last Tuesday and
thus added their assistance to Tam
many. Then, too, there were a large
number of the foreign population, es-
pecially the German, which was pre-
vented from buying their customary
glass of beer on a Sunday afternoon,
and they cast their votes with the op-
position. These and other dissatisfied
elements that supported the former
candidacy of Low united with the
hungry hordes of Tammany who were
anxious to get to the public crib aga.n,
and they rallied every vote. they could
command. With all this they were
able to carry the state by sixty
thousand, which is decidedly small
majority for that state. TIL Re-
publican party was not repudiated
in New York. The result proves
nothing except that reform govern
ments and administrations are subject
to waves of popularity, and reversal
that is absolutely independent Of poll
.tical parties.

MARC ANTONY IN MARYLAND.

In his speech in Baltimore last
might Mr.. German gave his hearers
an imitation of Marc Antony. Desir.,
ing to stir the crowd up against the
president. he began slyly by testify
ing to personal esteem for him. He
treated the subject something after
this fashion:
~ have great respect for the presi-
dent. He has gone directly counter
to the policy Of his predecessor on the
race question. Mr.. Mckinley mad
succeeded in putting that question out
of business. Mr.. Roosevelt has re-
vived it, md even as conservative a
man ac ] am must make it the leading
issue in this campaign. It is appalling
to think of what the future will be if
I am not Endorsed on Tuesday. But
the president says it is all right, and
the president is an impulsive young
man.
~ have great. respect for the presi-
dent. he has had Booker Washing
ton to lunch with him-an honor
which you and l and all the rest of us
would greatly enjoy But how could
any of us oe comfort able there now
after the hospitality Of mis- table has
been SO abominably lowered? They
say that Tom Smith, an active colored
Democrat, is Cd friendly terms with
me. But Tom never lunches with
me. I have Tom 50 trained that he
does not aspire above the condition Of
a campaign hustler. But the presi-
dent says that Booker Washington is
:all right, and tie president is an
impulsfve young man.
81 have great respect for the presi-
dent. His policy on the a c quess:
;tion means social equality between
whites and biz cks, means the inse,
..curity of our women, means the be-
fouling of our homes. Unless it il
sres,sted and defeated we shall shortly
shave a state of things in this country
beyond the power Of language to des
Hribe. Either pestilence or famine
would be preferable. Every bush OF
the lonely roadside will conceal
black rapist, and every white ma:
will be Obliged either to invite
negro to his table. or entertain n
the negro should invite himself. BIZ
the president says that this is a
right and the president is an impu
sive young man."
Mr.. German labo1ed under son
disadvantages. His theme did II
lend itself to his purposes as easily
Antony's did to his, nor is he as mu'
Of a man as was the willy Roma

The assembling Of congress next
Monday will create little more than
notice, outside the capital
city, but there is more than passing
in the session that will
soon begin it's deliberations. In the
early history of the nation, the con-
vening Of congress in special or ex-
rradorinary session meant some SER
ious question for its consideration.
But in later times, congress has been
assembled upon the call of the 'presi-
dent when less serious matters are at
state. But in this instance the ques-
tions.f for the consideration of the. leg
islative body are not 80 important as
some that have engaged it's attention
in, former times, yet serious enough to
d the chief executive to call this
body together. That which most
earnestly claims is attention is the
money question. It is a we'll recog-
ulzed fact that the present monetary
plan does not met the requirements
Of the present business conditions.
But the remedy for this condition
does not appear, and so far no one has
been able to suggest a plan that does
net have some serious defect. If the
special session can devise some remedy
for this evil, the wisdom Of the presi
dent in calling it will be established

The boys used to be satisfied with a
hundred yard dash, putting the show
vaulting, and few other sports which
required and developed muscle but
did not need a special life insurance

the modern foot ball. But after all

that the apparatus he was carrying

was drinking nothing but distilled

drink a large amount of distilled

brand than water. But to- be serious,

1t is decidedly amusing to see how
some men are eve thrown off their
guard by an unexpecte ] assault. The
other day as Gath was leaning over
the desk at one Of the city hotels
watching the people plant their money
in the slot machines, and the jolly
clerk raking in the fare for about sew
enty-fve travelling mems dinners, the
question Of the quality of gacoline
used in the city was being discussed
aud the crowd were trying to figure
out how so much gasoline passed the
OIL inspector, when it would not
burn. The Standard Oil company
was being roasted-the lawyers say
that corporations are legal persons

have to be SO thoroughly roasted in
this world, the Democratic party hav-

low that the Patmos man saw chained.
Well, about this time. that is, the
time of the conversation not the chain

the salesman of the Standard Oil com.
pany. The man who had been kick
ing went for him in a decidedly in
terestinb style, told him his goods
would put out a fire, and wouldn t
burn when poured on a fire, and a lot
of other interesting things about the

that man who handles Rockefellow's
gift was something wonderful. He
suggested half a dozen reasons why the
trouble existed, and when he was in.
formed that all of these had been in.

Magee Carpet Company, is arrang.
ing all evening of entertainment
and banquet for the employees.
The event is scheduled to take
place on the evening of Friday,
October goth, in the stock room,
third floor of the mill.
The first part of the evening will
be taken up with an entertainment
i'll which a number ofthe employees
will participate Not a few of the
people possess considerable histrion-
ic talent, and the initial feature OF
the evenings program will be irst
class. Then will come the banquet
after which a varied program of
amusements will be INDUCED in.
The idea is an original one with
Mr.. Magee. He could not have
hit upon a more unique way OF
showing his appreciation for his
operatives, and that the evening
will be an enjoyable one goes with
out saying.
