St. Louis Fair Man Tells Of His Ex-

There viii be JOY In St. Louis when
James ". S. Langerman returns to
that city by the yellow Mississippi.
Fatted calves will be killed, a special
brew of Tony Faust's beer viii be
placed on tap, and the whole city will
go wild over the Worlds Fair Com

found.
Mr. Langerman has had adven-
lures They happened IN Morocco, a
country to which he was accredited.
Il Is astonishing with what compla-
cent valor The commissioner relates
the tale Of bloody experiences. But
st. Louis men are all brave, and many
of them are good story-telIers.
How his good friend the Sultan of
Morocco begged him not to make the
journey from Tangier to Fee because
the way was infested with horrible
brigands; how he answered, My duty
calls me, ] must go;;" how the Sultan
furnished him q bodyguard; how the
brigands rushed down upon the party
and cut the bodyguard to pieces-all.

May Pardon Colonel" Lynch.


It is generally understood that King
Edward will take advantage of his
mothers birthday next month, or Of his
own birthday next November, OF, per-
haps, of the first anniversary OF his
coronation. to pardon Colonel Arthur
Lynch, whose sentence to death after

ed to penal servitude for life. Possibly
the King may pardon Lynch when ne
visits ireland this summer
Il would be a gracious, popular, and
polite move. For, in the first place,
there are not only hundreds, but even
thousands. of British subjects IN South
Africa who have been guilty of precise
" the same offense as Lynch, and who
have been allowed to 60 scot free. Nor
would he have ever been brought TO
trial had he not forced his conduct in
fighting against the English in the

Secondly, the Lynches have for centu-

than eighty-four Lynches have held the

parts and Of four suits, an hour is di-
vided into four quarters, and most
pieces Of furniture have four legs. The

fork has four prongs, that corpses are
placed between four planks and prison

funeral the coffin is usually borne by
four persons.

A New YORK business man who re-
Gently returned from trip through the
West, makes the following observation
THE West and South are all sunshine, y
he said, land in striking contrast to the
gloom which has settled down over the
East The Western farmers are bub-
bling over with prosperity. They have
harvested a corn crop of nearly 1900
million bushels, almost 700 million bush
els of wheat, fair >oat crop, and one OF
the best crops Of hay ever cut. The
cattle have never been in better condi-
ton at this season of the year than they
are now. In fact, many of them will re-
quire little or no corn to put them In
condition for market. So you see that
the Western farmer has nothing to re-
mind him of hard times to come. In
the South everybody seemed TO be pros
porous, and with a cotton crop to mar
ket that will yield return of many mil
lion Of dollars in excess of last year,
there ought to be no kicks coming from
that section of the country. But, on the
other hand, the terrible shrinkage in the
value of railroad and industrial securi-
ties which has occurred this year is GER
tain to have it's effect on the buying
power of the country, and unless | am
very much mistaken we will see much
more conservatism displayed next year
than for several years past. From one
end of the country to the other are
thousands and thousands of people
whose profits of the past five or six years
have been invested in securities which
are worth today not more than half what
they were worth at the time of purchas-
ing; and Notwithstanding that many of
these securities bought and paid for are
yielding to the investors as much in div
idends now as when they we're purchas-
ed, the owners feel that they are worth
only half as much, and reduce their out
lay accordingly"

IT IS really amusing to watch the po-
litical moves being made by the admin
istration in it's efforts to down Mr.. Bah
cock for a denomination. The Witness
cannot be accused of having been partic-
ularly aggressive in it's enthusiasm for
Mr.. Babcock in years gone by, but it
would seem that plans are being formu-
lated, moves made, and misrepresenta-
tions circulated that are not warranted
In fair politics-if any such there be.
The alleged opposition to Mr.. Babcock,
as events develop, is not that he is not a
good representative, but rather that the
administration Wills that he be punished
because he can not and will not follow
the dictations of those in power. The
alleged opposition to him is not so mark
ed as it first appeared. AS to the merits
of the opposition there shown, the pub
lie must form it's own conclusions. We
venture the assertion that were the real
truth known concerning each of these
meetings, the fact would be developed
that each and every one Of them was in
spired from headquarters and with the
sole object of securing revenge. This
certainly must be quite embarrassing to
many who had previously been staunch
supporters of Mr.. Babcock, but who now
are being forced into opposition by the
administration whip. O. reform, what
marvellous things are done in thy name!
