SHEPHERD 10 OPPOSE Law
The Vexed Question of Getting a
Cocktail On Sunday
Now Easy.

New York, Aug 8.-If one is to
judge by current gossip, New York
will have the same mayoralty candi-
dates this year that ran in 1901. 1t
is said upon good authority that Mayor
Low will accept a denomination and
since Tammany leader Charles F.
Murphy's prestige has been so seri-
ously damaged as a result Of the Dock
Board inquiry. the favor that once ap-
parently belonged to his candidate
George B. McClennen, is turning tow
ard Edward NJ. Sheppard.
Then is is said that Mr.. Sheppard
was promised the Tammany nomina-
ton for mayor again in 1903, when he
failed to be elected two years ago.
There are not a few prominent Tam
many men who believe that he is the
strongest man that could be named.
Not only is it said that Mr.. Low will
run again, but that the fusion ticket
may be a duplicate of that of 1901.
Controller Grout can have a renOmi-
nation if he wants it, while all of the
borough presidents have made salts
factory records.
Already the fusion forces have be-
gun issuing campaign literature, AMI
nothing will be left undone before
election day to show the voters what
has been accomplished for the better
ment Of the city government by the
reform administration The strict
business proposition of whether or not
ipir
conducted on business principles as
return to the Tammany methods
will be the keynote of the fusionists
campaign.

that disease was essentially a fermen-

MIR BRYAN's CANDIDATE.

Some time ago Mr.. Bryan said that
present the names of persons
worthy to be considered as can
didates for the Democratic NOM
nation for President in 1904. In the
issue of his paper of April 10 he pre-
sents the name of William ]. Stone.
Mr.. Bryan says that he does not wish
ito he understood as indorsing one
Kansas City platform Democrat as
against another. The inference is of
course, that he prefers any Kansas
City platform Democrat to any reor-
ganizer-that is any Kansas City plat
form Democrat who is of sufficient
prominence to be entitled to be re-
garded as a candidate.
Mr.. Bryan gives an interesting
sketch of Mr.. Stone. No doubt he
Mr.. Bryan says about him There is
no sign anywhere, however, that the
Democrats of any part of the country
want Mr.. Stone as their leader in 1904,
unless it be the Democrats of his own
state, Missouri. And it is doubtful if
the demand there is overwhelming.
This is not because of any doubt of
Mr.. Stones ability. That is conceded.
But the fact is he has not Impress
ed the country as being just the sort
of a man that is wanted for President.
A man may be an excellent politician
or a good congressman and still not
measure UP to the presidential stand
ard.
Evidently, however, he is Mr.. Bry-
ans first choice, because he men
tons him first. The comments that
will be made upon his selection will
Inform him pretty accurately as to
whether or not he has touched a pop
ular chord. He ought not to be dis
appointed if his favorite candidate is
received rather coldly.
There is considerable talk about can
didates here in the South, but as far
as we have noticed there has been
Representative Livingston of this state
manages to keep pretty well informed
as to political sentiment in the South.
In recent interview, published in the
Baltimore Sun, he said that the DEM
ocrats being spoken of in the South
as suitable candidates are Senator
German of Maryland and Judge Park
err of New York. II think he is quot
ed as saying ''if we nominate strong
man like German or Parker we can
win, providing the Bryan followers do
not bolt" 1t is doubtful if there is
any ground for thinking that the Bry-
an followers would bolt if they
failed to control the convention or
to get what they wanted. 1t is
pretty safe to say that Mr.. Bryan
would not bolt. He is against boilers,
and if he doesn't bolt there isn't much
probability that his followers will do
so.

A Good Fish story.

Senator William p. Frye is an ar
dent lover of the sport of fishing. Once.
after his return from his summers out
ing" says the Saturday Evening Post,
"he met the celebrated naturalist, Ag-
ASST. Glowingly Senator Frye describ-
ed his experiences.
Among my triumphs,' said he, was
the capture of a Speckled trout that
weighed fully eight pounds"
Or. Agassiz smiled and said, Re
serve that for the credulous and con-
vivial circles of rod and reel celebrants,
but spare the feelings of sober sci
enlist
I'm telling; l weighed that trout care
fully, and it was an eight-pounder.
as My dear Mr.. Frye demonstrated
DR.. Agassiz, permit me to inform you
that the Salvelinus fontinalis never at
tains the extraordinary weight of eight
pounds. The creature you caught
could not have been a speckled trout.
All the authorities on ichthyology
would disprove your claim.
"'All l can say to that said Sena-
tor Frye, is that there are, then, big
ger fish in Maine than are dreamed of
in your science
THE next season he caught a speck-
led trout that weighed nine pounds. He
packed it in ice, and sent it to DIR.

a telegram, which read:

APPLIED DEMOCRACY.

Some years ago Grover Cleveland
struck a responsive chord when on a
certain occasion. he referred to his
married life as lone grand, sweet
song" The people of Princeton, N. j.,
among whom the Clevelands live, are
assured that the song is being con-
tinued since they have delightful
echo of it in the Cleveland children
four in number, who are among the
state and the good friends of every
body in town.
The little Clevelands are looked on
as illustrating, to a certain extent,
both the political principles of their
father and the domestic good sense Of
their mother. There is a noticeable
absence of the "frills and follies and
fancies," so common among fashion
able families, about the Cleveland chill
dren. They dress in the plainest of
well-made clothes. No mechanics wife
feels envious when she sees them go
by to school or playing in the streets
which they do along with the other
children of the town-because they are
not more showily dressed than the
children of the "plain people" They
are always neat, but never gaudy
They are modest, but never naughty.
They are reserved. but never
bashful or afraid. Their man
! ners are easy with both ac-
quaintances and strangers, because
they have been taught self-con-
fidence but know nothing whatever of
that false pride which so often makes
the children of the rich Objectionable
and irritating. The children. indeed
know little and care less about class
distinctions based upon money or So
cial or political prominence. The three
little girls and one little hoy are just
healthy, vigorous, fun-loving American
children, who make dirt pies. play dolls
and go riding on their bicycles just
the same as the other children on the
street in which they live. They are
not being reared for society" or for
an abnormal sphere in life because of
the fact that their father was once
! President of the United States. Their
| education is being prosecuted along
lines that will make them thoroughly
American, without suggestion of snob-
| bishness.
1t could be wished that a greater
number of parents who are above the
average in wealth or success Of other
sorts in life would follow the example

Tin Horn as a Peacemaker.

you've heard about the horn of
plenty, of course" said young mar
ried man, according to the Detroit
Free Press. "Now let me- tell you
about the horn of peace. Alice and l
have our little differences of opinion
now and then-I suppose all young
married people do, and sometimes it is
right away; we are both so high tenn
pered. Well, the other evening we
went into a delicatessen shop in our
neighborhood to get something nice for
our evening luncheon. We had just
had a lively little quarrel and had
made up. In the back of the shop a
little boy and little girl, the proprie-
tors children, were having a vocifer-
Gus quarrel over some toys. She
slapped him; he kicked at her; then
she slapped him again; then he pulled
her hair.
Suddenly, on this unpleasant scene
appeared a third child, a baby boy of
about two years. He Immediately
scrambled into the melee and out
again with a tin horn, which he began
to blow nightly. He blew so loud
that it dlwwned the sound of the quar-
rel. He Gent up to his brother and

horn in her face. The two wranglers

began to pound on a toy piano.

LABELS ON THE BREAD.

There sometimes occur unusually
amusing side issues in the merry war
between organized labor and organized
capital to see which shall own the
earth. In this great contest the pub
lie often cuts rather a sorry figure.
Yet it is pleasure to make a note of
the fact that the public, as represented
by the housewives of Winsted, Conn,
won out in the incident about to be
related.
1t is very well understood that while
the trusts are trying to gobble every
thing, organized labor is insisting that
a union label be stuck on everything.
Thus from the cradle to the grave and
all between, we are confronted with
the trust and the union label. Not
even collins are exempt from the gem
eral rule. Their manufacture is con-
trolled by a trust, and the union of
coffln-makers has ordered tnat all cof-
fms must bear the union label; other
wise all union undertakers and sex
tons will refuse to bury the bodies con-
tanned in them. This. by the way, is
in Chicago. Happily in this section
of the country the lines have not yet
been so tightly drawn, and one may
yet shuttle off this mortal coil without
the necessity of having tag attached
to his wooden overcoat."
But all that is somewhat beside the
subject, which is the fight of the house
wives of Winsted. Conn, against the
union label on their loaves of bread.
1t seems that for a time no loaf of
bread was permitted to be served in
Winsted without a union label attach
ed thereto, certifying that it had been
baked by a union baker. But present.
ly the housewives began to wonder,
who ticks the stamps?' The more
they pondered this question the more
important it appeared to them. Some
of them were certain, upon close in
vestigation, that they detected the odor
of stale beer about the stamps. An
other said she noticed a distinct flavor
of onions on the stamps. Still another
thought there was the aroma of linz
burger on some of the labels that came
to her house on the bread They, there
fore, got together and made an ap-
peal to the bakers. They said they
had no objection to the stamps being
stuck on the side of the wagons, on
the lamp posts or on the meeting house
door; but they did object to them on
the bread. The persons who licked the
stamps might be of immaculate clean
illness and breath as sweet as new
mown hay, nevertheless the imagining
of possibilities and the undoubted smell
of stale beer and onions on some of
the labels had prejudiced consumers
against the labels on the bread. The
housewives intimated that while they
were willing to be reasonable, still they
would feel themselves justified in. pro-
curing their supplies Of bread from
some other source unless the local bak-
ers could give them bread above sus-
picion of unwholesomely licked labels.
The argument proved effective, and
hereafter Winsted will have its bread
without stamps.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham Age-Hera1d (Dem.)
says: "A New York preacher says
American civilization is pie, the top
crust of which is STEPPED in cham
payne while the bottom is sogged with
beer. That preacher should take some
thing for his liver"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
''If Wilhelmina ever invites her friend,
Wilhelm, to send a few of his soldiers
into Holland to maintain order she
may be assured that the soldiers will
not only keep the peace, but they will
keep Holland, too. The Kaiser wants
no better excuse to acquire seaports,
which are the one great lack of the
German empire"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says: IT Mr.. Bryan could
get the presidential bee out of
his bonnet, the poison of oratory out
of his blood. and could earnestly and
intelligently sit down to a study of
truth-or, better, could travel, see the
world and learn a little outside his
own barnyard-he would be at once
more useful and a happier man. a
founder and a builder, and not the
embittered architect of ruin he threat
ems to become"
The Albany IN. " Argus (Dem. }
says: Alexander Hamilton, the great
originator of the Republican party, once
wrote: Nature has disturbed an equal
ity of rights to every man. How then,
can the English people have any rights
over life, liberty or property in Ameri-
ca? We are separated from Great
Britain not only by the ocean, but by
the fact that we have no share in
governing her. and, therefore, she, by
the law of nature, can have no share
in governing us A Republican who
should talk like that to-day would be
drummed out of camp as a deserter
and despised snti-imperialist"
