Why He Wanted TO Run,

The late Gen. Alexander Mcdowell
McCook had a story illustrative of
readiness in excuse, which he used to
tell occasionally. Some raw troops
were drawn up for their first battle.
They were on marshy ground, under
fire, and ankle deep in slush. One of
the soldiers was noticed to be tremb-
ling excessively, and his fear might
communicate itself to his comrades.
An officer preached him.
Here, you, what are you trembling
for?" demanded the officer. stop it,
or you'll demoralize the company. You
are in no more danger than any one
else. Don't be afraid
Ill am MOTT a-a-afraid.' chat
tered the soldier. I'LL had the ague
last year, and-and standing sti1 in
this m-m-rnud so long has b-brought
it on aga-again. wouldn't it-t-t
be a g-g- good idea to r-r-run a lit-lit-
tie and get warmed up2"

The Way to the Sea.
From the Youths. Companion.

From the Youth 8. companion.
Two mountain lakes serenely lie
Beneath the peaceful Summer sky.
Close guarded by the hills that stand
Protectingly on either hand.
With rugged crags upreaching high.
But breezes come and breezes go.
And whisper soft, and whisper low
A wondrous story of the sea;
The waters listen restlessly;
If they could know, could only know!
Two mountain brooks rejoicing leap
From stone to stone. The way is steep
For one; it's waters swift and strong,
Resistless. reckless, dash along,
And make themselves channel deep.
The other finds a smoother way
Ger moss grown banks where sun
beams play.
It's waters TO the river flow
Which onward moves sedate and FSlov
And broader grows from day to Sday.
From lake to sea the ways must be
Apart, and only the breezes free
Know that wherever the streams NAV
flow,
And whether swift or whether slow
They both, at last, shall ma the sea.

GETTING At THE VALUE OF A
FRANCHISE.

An interesting suit is pending in one
of the courts of Detroit 1t is friend
ly suit, and the purpose of ii is to set
tie the question of the value Of fran
chise once held by the Michigan Cen
trail Railway. Some years ago the
Legislature of Michigan enacted a law
providing that railway passenger fares
in that state should be two cents a
mile. The law did not apply to the
Michigan Central Railway because it
held a special charter from the state
in which 1t was permitted to charge a
higher rate than two cents. 1t agreed,
however, to accept the new law, pro-
vided the state would pay it what it
would lose by doing so-that is, would
compensate it for the loss it would suf-
fer by charging the lower rate.
The railway claimed that its loss
amounted to 100000. That. claim
rather startled the state. Neverthe-
less II had agreed to pay the loss
whatever it was, and now the court ls
trying to find out whether the claim
of the railway is correct--whether it
will, in fact, lose $4,000 900 by having
its passenger fare cut 10 two cents a
mile
The state has called for bill of par
ticulars. and the railway is going over
it's books for many years, separating
its passenger earnings from its other
earnings. What the books will show
is not of course known, but II is init
mated in the dispatches that the
books will sustain the claim of the
railway. In that event the state viii
have 10 pay the full amount of the
claim. If it does. 1t is probable that
the people will come to the conclusion
that the Legislature was rather hasty
in making the contract with the rail-
way to pay for it's franchise.

THE IOWA REPUBLICAN PLATFORM


The platform adopted by the Iowa
Republicans is just such a one as was
to be expected. It is admitted that II
was drawn by Senator Allison, and
1t is we'll understood that he does OF
take a positive position on any Dues
ton. Gov Cunn1ins, who was re-
nominated, said that he approved the
platform, but he should continue to hold
fast to the tariff ideas to which he
has been giving expression for year
or two past He is an advocate Of
tariff changes, particularly changes in
the schedules which shelter trusts.
The platform, after clarifying the
tariff system, says there ought to be
changes in the tariff to meet the vary
ing conditions incident ito the progress
of our industries and their changing
relations to our foreign and domestic
commerce" 1t also says that duties
that are too low should be increased
and duties that are too high should be
reduced"
In other words. the sum and sub
stance OF the platform utterance is that
if the duties are not just right they
ought to be made right. OF course they
ought, but does the Republican party
believe they are not right? That is the
question. But there is nothing in the
platform that indicates that the Re-
publican party intends to take up that
question.
The platform is, of course, strad-
die. 1t was so written as not to give
offense to either faction of the Re-
publican party in Iowa, and to indi-
cate that there would be no promise of
reduction of the tariff in the plat
form that the party will adopt at it's
national convention in 1904

An Earnest Drinker.

Talking about moderate drinking,
said Father Lawler of the Cathedral
parish. after he had addressed the del
egates at the meeting of the Total Alb
stinence Union, and walked down the
street toward the parochial residence,
according to the st. Paul Globe, Il
know a physician in this town who
ordered a patient Of his to take glass
of wine four times each day This
patient is a well-known man in st.
Paul, noted for being a strict abstain
er and a temperance worker. One day
the physician called, and seeing little
change, asked the wife of this pa
tent
Does your husband take four
glasses Of wine regularly
oh, yes, doctor, he is very strict
about it, Indeed, he is four weeks
ahead, so earnest is he over it..

1rnar PAnKrr,s nEcrrrroN.

The very cordial reception given
Judge Alton B. Parker at Atlanta and
by the Georgia Bar Association at
Tallulah Falls indicates, that he is
thought of very favorably by many
Georgia Democrats for the Democratic
nomination for President.
Outside of the legal fraternity he is
not of course very well known in the
South. The people have learned some
thing about him during the last few
months through the public prints.
What they have learned from that
source, however, has given them a
very favorable Impression Of him.
OF those mentioned for the nomi-
nation there is only one perhaps who
has greater popularity in the South
That one is Senator German. He
has been in public life so long, and
has stood the friend Of the South
so often when she was in great need
of friends, that it is not at all strange
that the Southern people would re-
gard his nomination for President with
great favor.
From the time the name of Judge
Parker was mentioned, however, in
connection with the presidential NOM
nation there has been only kindly
mention of him in the Southern news
papers, and public men of the South
have spoken of him as not only we'll
fitted for the presidency, but as hav-
ing those qualities which would make
him a strong candidate
Of couEse the campnign for the
nomina ton has not yet progressed far
enough to justify an expression Of
opinion as to Judge Parker's chances
for the nomination. Indeed 1t is not
known that he is a candidate. He
has never given an indication that
he desired the nomination. 1t is as
sumed, however, that he wouldn't de-
cline such a high honor, that he would
be willing to yield to the wishes of his
party
1t is to be said in Judge Parkers
favor, viewing him as a candidate for
the nomination. that ne would prob
ably come nearer satisfying both
factions or his party than any other
one of those mentioned for the nom
nation. The reorganizers have no
particular fault to find with him and
the Bryanites cannot say that he
has not always been steadfast party
man.
While it is true that not as much
is being said in the newspapers about
Judge Parker in connection with the
presidency as there was a few months
ago. it is quite certain that his chances
for the nomination are fully as good
as they were when his name was men
toned in the newspapers in all parts
of the country about every day. TN
less something occurs to change the
situation in the Democratic party he
will be a strong candidate before the
nominating convention.

letter from Judge Alton B. Parker
is to be read at the Fourth of July
celebration of Tammany Hall in New
York tomorrow. The letter will prob
ably contain much more about politics
than will his speech before the Geor-
gia Bar Association at Tallulah Falls
to-day though there is no likelihood
that there will be anything suggesting
his own candidacy for the presidency.
Letters from David s. Hill, Grover
Cleveland and William jennings Bryan
will also be read at the Tammany cele-
bration, and the long talk" will be
made by Senator Bailey of Texas.

The automobile horsethief is the lat
est addition to the criminal brother
hood. He has successfully worked sew
eral New Jersey farmers during the
past few weeks. The way he goes
about it is this: He appears at farm
house about meal time and says that
his automobile has broken down some
distance away. He asks to hire a horse
and buggy to drive to the nearest
town, where he can get aid. He is
dressed in the latest automobile outfit,
leather cap, goggles and all. His out
fit and his offer to pay a liberal price
for the hire of the rig usually has the
desired effect, and the farmer gives
him the best in his stables When the
automobiles in distress arrives in the
nearest town with the farmers rig he
sells it for the best figure he can get,
5uuaDs on a train and disappears

In the editorial columns of his news
paper. the Philadelphia Press former
Postmaster General Smith has called
Mr. Tulloch of Washington a number
of hard names, even intimating that
Ananias was not in the same class
with him as a prevaricator. There is
talk of Mr.. Tulloch instituting suit
against him for libel. If Mr. Tulloch
were a citizen of Pennsylvania he
would find the Pennypacker libel law
most convenient, but since he is a res
ident of the District of Columbia he
would have to proceed under the fed
eral statutes. And there has always
been trouble about bringing proceed
ings by Washington people against
outside editors. Mr. Moves of Wash
fngton some years ago tried it on the
late Charles A. Dana without success.

Hotels at Atlantic City find them
selves in a rather queer predicament.
Some days ago a man drove UP to one
of them and announced that he want
ed accommodations for himself and his
horse. He was informed that he could
be accommodated, but that his horse
would have to be sent to a livery sta
BILE. He demanded that the horse be
taken care of at the hotel. The hotel
people laughed at him. Don't you
know the law" asked the visitor.
Under the charter of this city," he
went on, mo hotel can be licensed to
do business unless il provides accom-
modations for man and beast If YOU
haven't arrangements for my horse,
your license is illegal and not worth
the paper it is written on" Still the
hotel people laughed. I'm see a lawyer
about thisl" exclaimed the now exas-
perated visitor. And he did. The char
ter was looked up. 1t contained the
Identical provision that the man had
quoted The district attorneys atten-
ton was called to the matter He has
notified the hotels that each of them
must provide itself with stables, so that
it can entertain beasts" as well as
men, on pain of revocation of license.
