THESE AWFUL MEN.
Respectfully,
g. H. West,
Chief Engineer.

They're always abusing the women,
AS a terrible plague to men;
They say we're the root of all evil,
And repeati 1t again and again:
OF war, of quarrels and bloodshed,
All mischief be what it may;
And pray, then, why do you marry us
If we're all the plague that you say:
And why do you take such care Of us
And keep us so safe at home,
And never easy moment
If ever we chance to roam?
When you ought to be thanking heaven
That your Plague is out of the way,
You all keep fussing and fretting-
Where Is my Plague today?
If Plague peeps out of window,
Up go the eyes of the men:
If she hides, then they all keep staring
Until she looks out again.
Selected.

which belong to my fellow-c -citizenI
OF the Southern States. They are .
noble races. We may we'll take
pattern from them in some Of the
great virtues which make up the
strength as they make the glories OF
the free States. Their love Of home
their chivalrous respect for women
their delicate sense Of honor; their
constancy which can abide by an
opinion or purpose or an interest
for their States through adversity and
through prosperity, through the years
and through the generations. are
things by which the people of the
more mecurial North may take a les
son. And there is another thing
covetousness corruption, the low
temptation of money has not yet
found any place in our Southern
politics.
Now, my friends, we cannot
afford to live, we don't wish to tive.

possess these qualities. They are
friends of ours; born of our borning !;
flesh of our flesh; blood of our blood,

error OF any Southern State. I, for
one, if have right to speak for

A GLOWING TRIBUTE
By Senator Oar, Of Massachusetts,, to the South and Her
ChivaIrous and ncoruptibe Sons.

A portion of Senator Hoar's speech
the other day before the Unior
League Club of Chicago that wal
overlooked in the telegraphic report
East, says the Wsshi ngton Post,
touches in an interesting fashion on
race conditions in the South. Coming
from Massachusetts, man highly
honored by the country. the following
words have unusual significance:
II know how sensitive our South
ern friends are on this matter Of So
cial equality and companionship, and
I think l might say fairly and proper
ly-and that perhaps have a right
to say it-that it is not wise for the
people of the North to undertake to
deal harshly or even judge hastily of
a feeling SO deeply implanted in their
bosoms.
Time, the great conciliator, will
reconcile them to that if in the nature
of man they ought to be reconciled
to it. And if in the nature of things
and in the nature Of man time does
not reconcile them, it will be sign
that they ought not to be reconciled
to it; and that some other mode of
life for them must be devised.
NOW, my frit nds, having said
what thought to say on this ques-
tion, perhaps may indulge in adding
that although my life politically and
personally has been life of almost
constant strife with the leaders of the
Southern people yet, as | grow older
I have learned not only to Respect and
esteem, but to love the great qualities

1T is A BIG SCRAMBLE.

The discussion going on in the re-
spective democratic camps commanded
by Bryan and Cleveland is rather
amusing and yet serious to the demo-
cratic party. On the Bryan side the
question is asked: What shall the
democrats who supported Mckinley
in 1896 and 1900 do to be saved?" The
Clevelandites, on the other hand, ask
the Bryanites to give up what they
asserted in the two platforms to be-
come good democrats. The New York
World, ex-President Cleveland s
strongest champion, asserts that. the
Bryan followers must give up all pop
ulistic notions to be taken back into
good fellowship. This is not calcu.
lated to pacify w. j. Bryan.
The platform, as outlined by the
World, should stand for sound money,
tariff reform to the verge of free trade,
and anti-imperialism. OF course, Mr.
Bryan will oppose the first part of the
platform. He will regard this as an ul-
timatum and fly the track on harmony
On general principles he will oppose
anything suggested by Grover Cleve-
land and his followers. He wants to
retain leadership and knows that to
surrender principle he has advocated
would be to lay down and admit defeat

tween the factions grows longer.

The Centerville Citizen remarks !:
Show us an idle man in Centerville
and we will show you man unable to
work, or else one too lazy to work.
The Courier believes the Citizen can
make good it's promise. What is true
in Centeryille holds good all over the
country. Sickness or old age are the
only excuses men can give for being
idle in these prosperous times. There
is work for everybody.
Democrats try to deny that times are
good. but this is done for political pur.
poses There are lots of democrats
who are SO well employed that they
turn down jobs, and yet they assert
that conditions are against wage earn
ers. For four years of the democrat
ic administration they could have said
this with truth, but then, they swal
lowed their medicine and tried to To-
cate the blame elsewhere Deep down
in his heart even a Bryan democrat
likes the opportunities present eco
nomics give him.

THE MARKET SITUATION

A slight reaction in values has
been felt in the market during the
past week, owing to a condition of
conflicting influences. In reviewing
the situation Henry Clews suggests
that gold shipments, labor troubles,
backwardness in many crops, distrust
Of the speculation in cotton and the
spirit of caution now present, often
running into pessimism, may be look
ed to as some of the causes for un,
easiness. This latter consideration
is seen among growing class, who
are predisposed to take dark view
of the situation and find less to sup
port their position than formerly.
One sign of strength in the bust
ness prosperity of the country is the
fact that it has endured about sis
months of extensive liquidation with
out disaster. The monetary situa
ton has improved and the only ques
ton that now appears to cause any
concern is, how the fall requirement!
are going to be met.
Though somewhat backward thu
crop prospects are altogether encour
ing for large returns. The immenst
immigration to the United States
must also be considered in its effec
upon the economic situation. Dur

riLLMAN ON CLEVELAND.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
does not like Grover Cleveland, but
as the gentleman of pitchfork fame is
a bowling Bryanite there is little won;
der that he opposes the eX-president
In recent interview with a reporter
of the Washington Post he unloaded
his views on the Cleveland boom. He
said that it seemed to him every demo
crat he haa met has regarded the talk
about Cleveland as impertinent and in
sultnig. AS Pitchfork Tillman, repre-
sents the populistic wing OF the dem
ocratic party he never misses a chance
to do the bidding of Mr.. Bryan. In
the course of his interview he said.
Why, what sort of ours do they take
us fer, to expect us to vote for such
man as Cleveland? You can't change
democrats that way! Here is man
who hasn't even voted the democrat
ic ticket in the last two presidential
elections. He threw the influence OF
his name and career, if he had any in
fluence, against the ticket. You might
as well talk about nominating re

ticket. 1t would be about as probable
In a further discussion of the sub

THE COST TO ENGLAND.

The British government has eXpend-
ed on the Boer war to March 81, 1903
81, O59 $4,000, according to a report
made in parliament. A little over one
third of this, or 1915, 100000 has al
ready been paid by the English people
in tina shape OF increased taxes levied
for war purposes. There will doubt
less be considerable dissatisfaction
among the people when they learn the
price they have paid for the territory
their Country has secured in the dark
continent No people like taxation,
and whenever possible it is avoided by
all races and classes of people. &
Nobody at the beginning of that
struggle expected the cost to mount ur
as it has done. When the parliament
appropriated $5OOO0.OOO as an emer
gency fund at the beginning of the wal
in 1899 it was expected that little
more would be required. The army
