when Jerry simpson Scored.

Although former Congressman Jerry
Simpson of Kansas (Sockless Simpson,
he was called, says the Chicago Chron-
icle, has been long time in the po-
litical morgue, stories of his congress
sional career are still floating around
the sunfiower state. At one time the
House was proceeding under the five
minute rule and Snodgrass of Tonnes
see rose to reply to Simpson, who, it
seems, had charged SnodgrasS with the
triangular offense of being a lawyer,
a fop and fool Snodgrass was dull,
tedious sort of a man and coult set
the nerves of the House on edge quick
err than any other man in it. He was
proceeding in a manner which he meant
to be pompously satirical to crush the
guileleSS Simpson.

Snodgrass with the same exasperating
drawl, ION the suggestion of my emil

the indictment preferred against me
by the gentleman from Kansas. In
the second count, Mr.. Speaker, the
gentleman from Kansas charges me
with being fop and accuses me, Mr..
Speaker, of wearing clothes. l must

sneer. full of a spirit of patronage

gentleman's time has EXPIRED"
Snodgrass looked helplessly about,
his five minutes were up; he must
leave his defense to that third count

Simpson who would push to the Snod-

The Newspaper Man.

From the Blue Pencil Magazine.
He seldom is handsome or natty,
And has none of the charms of the
dude,
Is oft more distracted than chatty,
And sometimes unbearably rude.
He courts us, then sights us and
grieves us,
AS much as he possibly cam
He kisses us, loves us, and leaves us.
This perfidious newspaper man.
Our mothers won't have him come
calling:
He's no earthly good as a Catch"
His morals (they say) are appalling:
His finances usually match.
He's rollicking, reckless. uncaring,
Lives but for the hour. the day:
He's dangerous. dubious. daring.
Not At for a husband, they say.
But sometimes we girls are forgivine
Perhaps he but needs us the more.
Because he goes wrong IN the living
And knows the old world 70 its core
So We pass up the dude and the
schemer.
Who leads Ia soclety's van,
And cherish the thinker and dreamer
Enshrined IN the newspaper man.

THE WEST LIKES GoRMAN.

Senator Cullom of Illinois has re-
Gently returned to Chicago from an
extended trip through. the West. Be-
ing a politician, the Senator took pains
to feel the political pulse of the sec
tions that he visited. Among Repub-
licans he found mention of no can
didate for the Republican nomination
except Roosevelt. The West regards
the nomination of Roosevelt to succeed
himself as a foregone conclusion.
Among the Democrats. the Senator
said he found the talk to be of Ar
thur p. German and Grover Cleveland.
But what he saw and heard convinced
him that the most formidable candi-
date that the Democrats could nomi-
nate would be Senator German. Mr..
Cleveland would prove strong as a
candidate, in Senator Cullom's opin-
ion, but not so strong as the Maryland
senator.
Comparing the two men Senator Gull
lom said: "Gorman is a shrewder
politician than Cleveland and possesses
many qualities that Cleveland does
not. Is he as broad-guage? Yes, every
bit. Moreover, l am convinced that
German has the welfare of the ma
ton deeply at heart. - German is
a powerful man in executive matters.
His management of Democratic eau
cusses has demontrated this beyond
a shadow of doubt. =" Yes. Cor
man vouId he a strong candidate and
a formidable opponent"
This tribute from the eneHnv is
based on knowledge of the man to
whom it refers. Senator Cullom sin
cerely hopes that Senator German will
not be nominated, because he is we'll
aware that it would mean a fight in
which the Republican party would be
at a disadvantage. Senator German
has the confidence and esteem of the
business interests of the North and
East, which Col. Roosevelt has not.
Senator German would carry the solid
South, without the slightest detection
along the line. He is we'll liked by
and has the confidence of the West.

MINISTER CONGERs VICTORY

Recently the cable dispatches brought
the information that the American
minister at Pekin, Mr.. Edwin H. Con-
ger, had secured from the government
of China the promise that the port of
Ta-tung-tao on the lower waters of
the Yalu river, should be made an open
port. The announcement was hailed
with delight by certain of the admin
istration organs, who referred to it
with pride as brilliant victory for
American diplomacy" While the rep
resentatives of other Powers temper
lied with the Pekin government, it was
said, our representative stated his de-
sires boldly, prosecuted his plans Wig
orously, and won. That was the way
to gain the Open Door in China! Hur-
rah for the Stars and Stripes; and let
the eagle scream!"
1t transpires that the brilliant vic
tory was just about as brilliant as
anything Minister Conger has yet done
In China, but no more. An English
man in Pekin as correspondent of
the London Times took down his map
of the Yalu river and made a cursory
examination OF 1t. The data showed
that Ta-tung-tao was a wee dot on
the map. and that as a port it was
practically non existent; that ships and
steamers of even the shaIlowest
draught could not come within several
miles Of the place, and that even II
vessels could come in, the river was
sealed up with ice three or four months
Of the year. There was no anchorage
anywhere near the so-called port, and
the Chinese government concession, If
made, would be more mockery than
valuable privilege.
No doubt somebody sent Minister
Conger a copy of the London Times
from which he learned that his bril-
liant victory was empty, since it ap-
pears he has requested the govern
ment to substitute An-tung. another
Yalu port, in the place of the port he
first captured. So far as the infor-
nation in possession of the public
goes, the only really brilliant diplo-
matte victory ever gained by Minis.
ter Conger was in Washington, wher
he succeeded in retaining his job not.

The announcement that the Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards win 60 to the
st. Louis exposition will probably be
followed by similar announcements
from other military commands in Sa-
vannah and, for that matter, through
out Georgia. In other Savannah or
CARNATIONS there has been discussion
of such trip, and the members have
no doubt that this discussion will cul-
inmate in such plans being worked out
as to admit of the expenses of railway
transportation being met.
As guests of the exposition the visit
ing troops from all over the country
will not need to concern themselves as
to quarters. Their host, the exposition
company, will see TO that, and 1t is pos
sible that subsistence for a brief period
of their stay will be furnished. The
visiting military will be expected to
participate in a great parade, and the
company will feel that 1t should make
some return for this contribution by
the visiting soldiers to the success of
the exposition.
With SO glorious a trip in prospect,
the members of the Savannah organi-
cations that elect to take it may be re-
lied upon for a greater show OF interest
in their commands during the coming
fall and winter than has been display
ed for some time. So many young men
will really wish to go to st. Louis for
the nominal cost the trip with the mill
tary would represent that the officers
will really be able to pick and choose
among those who apply for member
rolls OF the companies will be consider
ably enlarged through the prospect.
While the military spirit. per Sc, is
strong in Savannah, and while the
companies would be maintained
through esprit de corps and respect for
the place of honor Savannah has ever
held in the soldierly annals of the
country, it is yet recognized by all pro-
gressiVe commanders that this military
spirit car be rendered far, more effec-
tual when supplemented by come pleas
ant experience to which their men may
look forward.
The outlook for Savannah's military
is bright. Greater interest than ever
before IN the national guard of the
country is being shown by the general
government. and the aid that is being
received will put the establishment

HANNA WON'T DEBATE.

There isn't any likelihood that Sena-
tor Hanna will permit himself to be
drawn into a joint debate with Mr.
John II. Clarke, who is the Democratic
candidate for his seat. He knows it
would be dangerous. Mr.. Clarke is
loaded" with too many questions that
the Senator would find 1t inconvenient
to answer. Mr.. Clarke would want to
know right away what objection the
Senator had to making public sworn
statement of his campaign expenses.
Mr.. Clarke has declared that he is will
ing to publish such list, and that he
will do so whether his opponent does
or not. Once there was a law on the
Ohio statute books requiring the pub
lication of such lists, but the Republi
cans repealed 1t a few years ago.
Doubtless they found it annoying.
Chairman Dick says. the people do not
care anything about campaign ex-
penses; but If Mr.. Clarke were to get
up before a big audience and show that
many members of the Senate are I'M
der suspicion of having bought their
way into that body, the people might
he reawakened to an interest in cam
paign expenses, corruption funds and
things like that. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Clarke has fortified himself with
sundry data relative to Senator Han
mas campaign methods that he is anx-
ious to have the Senator admit or re-
flute in the presence of a mass meeting.
Another bothersome question that Mr..
Clarke would probably bring up would
have reference to the Cox Code" a
bit of characteristic Republican legis-
lation by the Hanna machine. Under
this code the state is empowered to
interfere in the political affairs of mu-
inequalities. 1t is very generally under
stood that the new code was adopted
for the purpose of retaining the Repub-
licans in power by overthrowing Demo-
cratic majorities in a number of cities.
Mr.. Clarke would like to have a full
explanation from Senator Hanna with
respect to this matter.
And why should not the question of
tariff be argued? Both Senator Hanna
and Senator Foraker in the speeches
lhCy nave SlIlCc TIE opening Oh
the campaign have referred to the tariff
as if it were sacred and not to be
preached under any circumstances.
They have attempted no defense of the
Republican position, merely vociferat-
ing, stand pat!" They have practi-
cally assumed that any man who does
not stand pat" on the tariff, filled as
it is with iniquities, is a traitor to his
country. AS intelligent men the two
Ohio senators must know that the peo-
pie of their own state, as well as those
of other parts of the country, and par
ticularly the West, are growing FESTIVE
with respect to the tariff and it's in
equallties. Like the man from Mis-
souri,, the people want to be shown
where it is to their advantage to sub
nit to heavy taxation for the benefit
Of trusts and monopolies If Mr. Clarke
cannot demonstrate satisfactorily that
his position of progressiveness is bet
ter than the Hanna position of mac
tivity and fetch worship, what has
Senator Hanna to fear of a joint de-
bate? But he evidently does fear it.
His attitude is that of man who
lacks the courage of his convictions
and who has little use for the light of
publicity.

sticks and other missiles. He retreat

bride. A singular point in connection
