The chief effect or the official message Of
the department Is to add a new force to
the old question. Is prosperity an unuix-
ed good?
Scoffers at the proposition Of ideal So
cialism have been wont to clinch their
argument to the person by inquiring
with cutting force. When all men are OF
equal state and standing. who then Will
dig the ditchess 1t Is proper, in view Of
the pronunciamenfo from Albany. to
adapt this query to a new hypothesis.
When diffused prosperity has brought all
the households of the universe to the level
of the servant keeper. who then shall
wash the dishes Of the world?
Good For Henderson.
Friends of ex-Speaker David B. Hen
derson and be has as many personal
friends among Democrats as among
Republicans will be glad to learn that
he is so busy practicing law in New
York that he has no time to make
campaign speeches. His prosperity in
his new home will be beard of with
joy by hundreds Of thousands of Amer
lean citizens. for General Henderson
was made to be loved OF course no
body would object to his making cam
paign speeches If be had the time. 1t
is Il delight even to a rampant Demo
crat to hear him make a Republican
speech. He larrups us to the queens
taste. and we'd hate anybody else for
saying the things he says. but nobody
can get mad at the generous hearted
ex-speaker. He quit congress poor. he
needs money. and it is to be hoped that
he is making it hand over fist
Republican v. P.
Our Republican friends seem to be
having as great search for vice
presidential candidate as Peary is hav-
ing for the north pole. No Republican
of commanding stature appears to
want the place. They have nearly all
been canvassed or mentioned. from
Senator Hanna down to-or up to.
whichever it is-Senator Fairbanks
At last they may have to draft some
one to run with Colonel Roosevelt.
The latest proposition is that they
ought to take a border state man. Sew
eral are being discussed ex-G Governors
Lowndes of Maryland and Bradley of
Kentucky. ex-Mayor Walbridge of st.
Louis and all others of sufficient emf
hence. If all these should decline, the
searchers after Republican vice presi-
Dental nominee might proceed down
south, where they are almost certain
TO strike pay gravel at once. For ex-
ample. there is Colonel II. Clay Evans
of Tennessee! Imagine the enthusiasm
of the old soldiers for himi How they
would whoop things up for ticket of
which Colonel H. Clay was the tail. If
the managers think him unavailable,
they might cross over into Arkansas
and tackle General Powell Clayton or
Colonel Poker Jack Mcclure No
doubt either would accept with alacrity.
and how the old carpetbaggers would
rally to their standard. Failing to find
vice presidential Barkis in Arkansas.
there is Pinchbeck of louisiana ex-
governor. etc. He would not decline

tantamount to the occasion. there's
Cooney OF Texas. Great heavens!
What candidate he would make! All
the black and tans would be for him.
but perhaps the lily whites would be 4
trifie cold. Yes, perhaps.
A Straw.
The Democratic victory in the In
dianapolis nayoralty contest shows
which way the wind is blowing polit-
ically Things are coming our way
slowly, but surely. We are gradually
regaining all the great cities in the
north and making Roadway among the
rural voters It's d long lane that has
no turn.
A Veritable Wonderland.
Missouri is coming to be known as a
veritable wonderland Hitherto we
have not supposed there were any gold
deposits in the state but recently 4
rich one has been discovered Now
gold is generally found away off in
some wild, inaccessible region. hard to
get to and unpleasant to live in. but
this Missouri gold mine is in nice,
lovely, fertile locality. within sight of d
railroad and close to a thriving and en-
terprising city.
But that's not all. We have a second
strawberry crop in Missouri, which
must make the mouths of northerners
water.
Go II.
It would really be a great relief to
the world if Russia and Japan would
actually go to lighting. and few would
care which whipped. They have talk
ed war and shaken their fists at each
other long enough. We could furnish
them all the things needed to carry it
on. Missouri has raised another mule
crop since the Boer war
