his ambitions to blind him and that he will permit the

him to give up his place prosecutor go after the
shadow of gubernatorial power
For is not to be supposed that the Republicans are
sincere urging Folk to take the Democratic Nomination

Smiling still more broadly, the
young man turned directly toward her

Cal E. Stone, assistant passenger

time to engineering the affairs of the

has spent most of that time in Winni-

Success of Irish Land Bill.

The Irish land bill has finally passed
the British house of commons. AS the
measure is acceptable to all classes and
all parties-to landlord and tenant; to
Liberal. Conservative, Unionist and
Home Ruler; to Briton and Hibernian
there is no doubt of it's passage by
the house of lords. The bill may be
therefore considered to be as good as
on the statute books. The unanimity
for the measure is one of the most sin
gular things in the history of the re-
slatfons of England and Ireland. 1t
was not surprising, when the bill pass
ed by BIT to 20, that Mr.. Balfour, the
premier. congratulated Mr.. Wyndham,
the chief secretary for Ireland. and the
country, on the bill, which he said was
a tentative step TOWARD the removal of
the present Irish land system. though
it is somewhat of a surprise that he
described this system as the worst in
the world.-Pittsburg Chronicle.

No Insanity in His Record.

Gen. Cassius M Clay, the eccentric
nonogenarian, is dead at his home in
Kentucky. A recent criticism declared
him always to have been insane. But
was he? He stood against slavery, in
circumstances that put his life for
years in peril and cost him thousands
of dollars, and slavery finally fell amid
universal rejoicing. He stood for the
Union, and the triumph Of the Union
arms is now the subject of general
thankfuIness everywhere. AS minister
to Russia he helped negotiate the
treaty for the purchase of Alaska

Press Comment.
Capital is Labor's Friend.

Men are costly led to believe they
are being wronged and slow to recog--
nize that employers are. for the most
part, anxious to do the square thing
between man and man. The walking
delegate of discomfort appears to have
wider influence than the advance agent
of prosperity. When these praters
against railroads and corpo-
rate influences for furthering produc-
ton talk of the villainies Of such in
situations the people ought to stop and
carefully consider how very little the
professional agitator is really doing to
add to the material wealth of the peo-
pie. and how very much the great rail
ways and the great railway men are
doing to give daily labor to the
masses. The captain of industry
who. gives work to his thousands is
far more valuable member OF society
than he who only gives work to his
jaw.-Hudson (Wis.) Star-Times.

how that device is to be made prac-

not carry the boat and railway with

English artist noticed a man a little
distance off glaring fercely straight
ahead at him at some object he could
not see from his position. The man
sat with the same fixed glare the whole
afternoon and was at it again next
morning. The artist had the curiosity
to ask an English visitor what il
meant. The reply was. "Oh. he is in
loyer' And it was explained that this
was their method of eourtship.
The object of the mans attentive
gaze was a girl in a neighboring ba-
