THE DEMOCRATIC STORY
OF 1T.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. 2s.-Gen.
Charles HI. Grosvenor, in his effort to
have Joseph w. Jones, of Athens. re-
tanned as pension agent of Ohio. is
to be pursuing tactics which
said may result in a rupture
with Senator Hanna. Day before
yesterday, us stated in the Enquirer,
Senators Foraker and Hanna agreed
to indorse former Lieutenant Cover
nor Robert p. Kennedy, of Bellefon-
taine, as Jones' successor. This ap-
pointment rightfully belongs to the
two Senators, and it is a bold man,
indeed, who would undertake to
poach on their patronage preserves.
But GIosvenor is exceedingly anx-
ious SO keep in Office.
1t is charged, first, that he has
notified the President that Kennedy's
would be an Objectionable appoint
ment, and then went to Senator
Quay and enlisted his aid. Twelve
or thirteen years ago, when Gen.
of Representatives, he made speech
in which he attacked Quay for his
opposition to the Lodge force cleo
tion bill, which the Pennsylvania
Senator defeated with the aid of the
Democrats. Quay bitterly resented
the attack, and when Grosvenor
pointed out way in which he might
even up the score with Kennedy he
seized the opportunity. Accordingly,
he is said to have filed a protest
against the prospective nomination
of the Bellefontaine man as pension
agent, and to have declared his in
tention to oppose its confirmation.
When Mr.. Hanna learned what
Grosvenor had done he waxed ex'
ceedingly wroth, and declared: ''Ii
Grosvenor wants to break with me
ne can do it; ! can stand it If he can.
According to the Senator's friends
it was Grosvenor who induced Presi
dent Roosevelt to send Mr.. Jones
name to the Senate for second tern
last June when Hanna was in New
York. They assert that the Genera
went to the White House with Sen
ator Foraker and said he (Grosvenor
and Mr.. Hanna were agreeable t,
Jones reappointment, and under thu
circumst ances Mr.. Foraker woul,
have no objection. The senior Sen
ator stated he would indorse Jone
for a second term if that were TIL
situation, and the President, believ
ing he had been advised correctly
sent the nomination in.
Before the Senate had confirme,
it, however, Mr.. Hanna returned t
Washington and was advised of wha
had taken place during his absence
He Immediately went to the Whit
House and registered lusty ''kick
against the reappointment. He de
clared he had not indorsed Jones IN

1t seems more likely that it came in.
as it comes to the man in the street,

fashion Of using diminutives for
every noun; thus, for example,
bookie, cloclxie, birdie are daily rep
resented in the Taal as boeKje, Or

The most picturesque thing about
South African Dutch is the number
OF old terms it has preserved for the
natural characteristics Of the coun-
try. Many of these old Dutch words
have died out Of use in Holland. But
to South Africa they have impaired
