Itan-NIc-Nic Parade on sept. SD

| Itan-Nic-Nic Paraoe On Sept. ON.
Cincinnati, Aug. 2+.-Great tan,
Chief of the mystic order of Itan-
Nic-Nic, has proclaimed the date OF
Sept. 9Th for the Night Pageant OF
the Mics. Symptoms of unusual &C.
tivity have for some time been man
fest among those suspected of be-
longing to the order. Not long
since, quiet citizens taking an even
ing stroll were astonished by an
unexpected procession of the Mics,
making a pilgrimage to the new
lodge, cave or den, whichever it is.
The streets were suddenly illumined
by the blaze of torches and columns
of red FIRE, revealing hundreds of
curiously clad, masked figures
marching arm in arm, dancing,
singing, and keeping brisk time to
numerous bands of music, which
enlivened their progress. They
vanished as mysteriOusly as they
came, and none were adventurous
to follow them. Bystanders pro-
fessed to recognize among the frollc-
some crew, staid business men,
merchants, brokers and more than
one political leader. The Fall
Festival Association, to a man, is
said to be implicated IN the doings
of the Mics; at least that is what
other people say, for the Mics never
say anything in public, and the
identity of each one is maintained
profound secret. One of the events
of the Fall Festival is the annual
parade of the Mystic Order of tan
Mic Mic, which draws thousands Of
visitors to Cincinnati on that day.
Although of comparatively recent
origin, their night pageant surpass-
es anything of the. kind given in
America. Great Itan has been gra.
clnusly pleased to announce, that
there will be a series OF twenty
floats Of allegorical design, illum-
ined by 5000 incandescent lights.
The subject Illustrated is one fGmil-
lar to all, even to the children,
whose special delight is the beauti-
full pageant, for them. a realization
of Fairyland.
Bands OF music will accompany
each float, which will be surround
ed by outriders in costume, al d
grooms carrying torches. a word
to the wise-come early, if you wish
to secure good places, for the fame
of the Itan.Nic.Nic pageant is great
in the land, and thousands will
come to Cincinnati on Sept. 9Th es-
pecially to see It.

Capt. Scott Believes Road From

Capt. William Scott, the veteran
and famously successful railroad
builder, who has the contract for
the Monterey Natamoros road, had
the following to say in an interview
in the Monterey News:
"While in San Antonio this week
I informed myself concerning the
matter" said Capt. Scott, and was
assured that it is no booming
scheme, but that in all sober reality
the road will 90. / was also told
that it is a private enterprise, and
was not controlled by either the
Frisco or the Rock Island system,
and I believe it. johnson Bros. are

lend their names TO anything of a
deceptive character They will
commence as soon rs they can
obtain the material. the greater
portion of which is now awaiting
their order at Kansas City"

the bonds of the institution mar
ketabie, as it is held that they,
like the others, would be state
bonds, which do not come under
the provisions of the constitu-
ton limiting the indebtedness of
the state to $500, 600. The differ
ence amounts to this: that if the
state had no debt, or if the debt
were so small that the new bonds
would not raise it beyond the
constitutional limit, capitol bonds
might be issued legally, by pro-
per procedure on the part of the
Legislature, and the lands of the
institution might be pledged for
their redemption. This seems
to be a fair inference from the
decision, though that subject is
not gone into there. But the
debt limit stands in the way, and
that cannot be removed, there

There is much prospective
timber for the governorship in
sight, even at this early day. A.
A. Schatz, E. Y. Sarles; and sew
eral others have signiied their
willingness to fill the governors
chair. The men mentioned may
be all right, but it is our humble
opinion that they lack many of
the requisite qualifications. We
should have the best man avail
able for this Office, and one whose
integrity and morals arc above
question. We have here in our
county men who have done more
for the public, and who are in
every way better qualified than
any Of the gentlemen whose
names haYe been mentioned.
These men have the confidence
of the people of the estate at large,
and we think that some one of
them could be prevailed upon to
accept the nomination. We have
in mind particularly NJ. B. Cas-
sell, who has served this district
in the state legislature for sew
eral terms with credit to himself
and profit to the entire state.
Mr.. Cassell is a good, honest,
competent man, and has a record
for being the supporter of the
right in all matters, whether of
local or state interest, and could
betrustedimplicit the
question at issue. Mr.. Cassell
has had sufficient experienced in
Legislative and executive work to
we'll qualify him for the office,
and would make as capable and
efficient an official az it would be
possible to get. The only thing
that can be urged against him is
that he ls not a member of the
"gang," and that should be stuff.

majority ever given in the state

next governor of the state. D.

Capitol Bonds.

There does not appear to be a
great deal of comfort for the
state capitol commission in the
supreme court decision, after all.
The condition of that institution
differs from that of the others in
that the proceeds Of the sale of
capitol lands may be used d.
rectly for building purposes.
The other institutions are re-
stricted to the use Of the income
from the'1ands, the principal be-
ing made to constitute a perma-
nent fund which may not be d.
minished undef any circumstan-
stances. This fund is similar to
the common school fund in this
respect: 1.-THE capitol lands may
be sold sud.th proceeds applied
to building purposes directly.

Secretary Root has placed hi:


resignation in the hands of the
President to take effect as soon
as the President NAV see fit but
not later than January /. and it
is generally believed that Govern
or Taft will succeed him. The
occasion of Secretary Roots re-
linquishment of the portfolio
of war. which is a matter of
grave regret to the President.
IS Mrs. Roots objection to liv.
ing in Washington, her dislike to
Washington society were her
social duties necessitate her en-
tertainment of officials rather
than of a select coterie of friends
most congenial to herself and her
husband, and Mr.. Roots desire
to assume his law practice in
New York. While neither Sec
retarY nor Mrs. Root have re-
ferred to the financial end of the
situation, it is known that the
most economical member of the
Cabinet cannot live within bis
salary, unless he be a bachelor,
and that in most instances a
cabinet members expenses
amount to from two to three
times his salary. Secretary Root
feels that he has completed the
more important work for which
he was called to the cabinet. He
has inaugurated the general staff
plan for the army, a plan which
will relieve the Secretary of War
in the future. from the grave re-
sponsibilitles which have hlthcr'
to rested on him, having trans
ferred them to the general staff

Mr.. Root will leave for England
on the END to participate in tn
deliberations of the Alaska,
boundary commission. On hi
return be will prepare his annua
report and his retirement viii
doubtless follow very soon there
after. The appointment of Gov
>. ernor Taft is regarded as tn
logical selection for the vacanc
which will be made by Mr.. Root
retirement. Governor Taft HI!
administered the affairs of tn
Philippines under the most try
ing circumstances with grea
credit to his country and to him
self and it is probable that tn
most difficult problems which
will confront the secretary O

this country, go that Governo:
Taft's intimate knowledge o
Philippine affairs renders hin
especially competent.
