BOB TAYLOR ON POLITICS.

Ex-Governor Bob Taylor, Of
Tennessee, make use of the char
actsristio remarks in one of his
lectures:
while l believe the good in
politics 'utweighs the bad, yet
how thorny is the path, how un-
happy the pilgrimage to him who
dsres to do his duty. There are
no flowers except a few boquets
snatched from the graves of fallen
heroes; there is no happiness ex.
cspt in the transient thrill of cruel
triumph, which passes like a shs-
dow across the heart.
Every honest man who runs for
office is candidate for trouble,
for the fruits of political victory
turn to ashes on the lips. To me
there is nothing in this world so
pathetic as a candidate. He is
like marine without a compass,
drifting in the tempest tossed
wave Of uncertainty between the
smiling cliffs of hope and the
frowning crags Of fear. He is a
walking petition and a living pray
or: he is a pack horse of p u b i 0
sentiment; he is the dromedary of
politics. And even if he reaches
the goal of his ambition, he will
soon feel the beak of the vulture
in his heart and the fangs of the
serpent in his soul.

FROM THE coMMoNER.

The Indications are that Mr..
Hanna's White house bed has not
been slept in for several .consecu-
tive weeks.
Mr.. Hanna's great feat of mar
ching up the hill and then march
ing down again, is another feature
added to some already spectacular
political history.
The presidents pugilistic spirit
seems to crop on. on all occasions !;
it permeates his thoughts on eve-
ry subject. We have never had
any other president who seemed to
be 50 in love with power. Even
the presidents who have known
long military service have Oeen
less infatuated with the exercise
of authority.
Owing to circumstances over
which he has no control, the JUS
tice loving executive of Indiana
will be unable to extend to certain
Hoosier patriots the protection
given to Mr.. Taylor of Kentucky.
When a man follows his convic-
tions and does what he thinks he
ought to do, nothing that comes
afterward can make him regret his
action. When a man does any
thing from improper motives, he
generally lays up store OF re-
morse, because things seldom turn
out as he calculates.
A reader of The Commoner asks
how the newspapers that run CUES
sing contests can afford to give
away prizes amounting to forty or
fifty thousand dollars. The ans
wer 10 easy. They appeal to the
gambling spirit and take in great
deal more than they pay out. One
paper is said to have cleared 5000,
600 out of one contest and nearly
million out of another. But
what sad commentary upon the
country.

forward and are exact oounterparts.
The freak is five days old and the

of the other mouth. Mr.. White

one to each. Hundreds Of people
