EDITORIAL NOTES.

D0al6Q TO Un0 generously vi UlI0 pG0oo
to accord him two weeks unmatched
and undisturbed vacation while he
is in Yellowstone Park. That's all
right, Mr. President, we are not fond
of roughing it, and we are always
more thrilling when we draw on our
imagination for the bear stories.
The notorious Mr.. RathI 141e and
some of his friends among the demo-
cratic editors have construed the
silvery service presented to General
Leonard Wood by the fashionable
tennis club of Havana, as a bride
presented by a gamblers associa-
ton.
The sympathetic public cannot
but feel for the disappointed Repre-
sentative-elec Hearst. He has put
all his eggs into one basket, the 16
to 1, Bryan basket somebody
has dropped the basket.
Bryan, Cleveland, German, Hill,
how sweet it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity!
The bartenders of Baltimore have
organized total abstinence society.
Could the consumer desire any
better evidence Of the danger that
turks in the goods the bartenders
sell?
President Roosevelt and Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland will speak
from the same platform in Saint
Louis IN the occasion of the dedica-
ton of the Saint Louis fair and curl
osity is keen in anticipation OF the
receptions given the two political
leaders.
There is little mercy in the heart
of Kaiser William. He has deter
mined to send Ambassador Won
Holleben to this country on the
humiliating errand of presenting
his recall.
Carter Harrison is running for re-
election as Mayor of Chicago on a
platform which provides for NUM-
cipal ownership of traction, tele
phone, gas and electric light plants.
Were there not SO many objections
to Mr.. Harrison personally, the re-
suit might be taken as on indication
of the sentiment of thesecond largest
city in the Union on this most i'm
portant question.
There is never any lack of humor
in the political situation in Ohio.
Hon. Tom Johnson has just been
nominated for mayor of Cleveland.
A contemporary announces that
the Kaiser's son has German measles.
Does ne imagine that a Hohenzollern
would be SO unpatriotic as to have
any other kind?
Some republican senators are be-
ginning to wonder if they were not
rather badly taken in by Senator
Germans opposition to the publica-
ton of these replies to Senator Nor
gan.
1t is estimated that, with no legal
obstacles, it will be at least year
and a half before actual work can
begin on the Panama canal.
There is something very touching
about the devotion of Ex-senator
Jones of Arkansaa to the president,
Mr.. Jones calls daily-and it is sus-
pected he is touching" the president
for an appointment on the Panama
Canal Commission.
Neither the miners nor the opera
tors can claim victory as a result
of the Strikers Commissions decis-
ion. The real victory belongs to the
public who areat least protected from
another coal famine for two years
more.
To men of the average Democ-
ratio stamp, Bryan or Cleveland
would prove equally acceptable as
democratic candidates for the presi-
dency. All they want is a man who
will win and divide the spoils among
them.
There are many republicans who
will subscribe to one of the plankS
of Senator Morgan's platform, that
which advocates as perfect free trade
between the United States and it's
insular possessions and now exists
