CATION AND WILLARD.

The announcements of Mr.. James
Il. Cation, of Alexandria. that he
Is a candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor, is discussed with much inter-
est among the NirginianS at the
Capitol. Mr.. Cation is we'll known
all over the State. having been a
prominent member of the legis-
lature and a leader in the house of
delegates that participated in the
revision of the laws under the new
constitution.
Mr.. Cation was born in Fairfax
County, now the home of Lieut..
Gov. Willard, who is a candidate
for governor. Both are popular
young men, and accordingly Vir-
ginlans are watching closely the
development of their respective
candidates. As they reside in adj
joining counties, it is certain that
both cannot be nominated, the
practice Of Democratic conventions
in Virginia being to take the nom
inees for governor and Eeutenent
from different sections of the
State. Wa shin9tOn Post.

Queer Drunken Manins.

An English sheriff who died some
years since kept n record OF the curl
Gus cases OF drunkenness that came
under his observation. Several habit
ual cases had developed odd manias.
One woman who had been arrested lGT
times for drunkenness i'm twcnty-eight
years, had n mania FOR breaking win
dows when she was intoxicated. An
old soldier. suffering from wound in
the head. always stole Bibles when he
was tipsy. Another man stole nothing
but spades. while one woman's fancy
ran 70 shRwls and another's 10 shoes.
\ man named Grub was imprisoned
seven times for stealing tubs. although
there was nothing in his line OF life TO
make tubs particularly desirable to
him.

The Names of Tea.

We talk glibly about Pekoe. Bohea,
ETC., but few people have any idea of
what these names signify.
'Pekoe" in the dialect of Canton
means white hair" for the tea which
bears this name is made from the
youngest of leaves, so young that the
white down is still on them.
"Soochong' in the same dialect is a
quite unpoetic name; it merely signifies
"smali kind"
"Flourishing spring is the meaning
of "Hyson."
Congo signifies labor" Much
trouble and toll are expended in it's
preparation at Annoy, and these are
commemorated in its name.
"Bohea" is called after range of
hills.

The Crimson Ballot.

Published by request, from the New

One day in a crowd q court room.
\ sentence of death was said.
In the hush of the awful stiffness:
To be hung by the neck until dead"
And a mothers heart was broken,
As She fsltered a murmured name,
And a fathers face was furrowed
With the tears of grief and shame
IL was only one OF the dramas.
That are acted every day,
And the judge on the bench had asked
him
What the prisoner had 10 say.
The jury has said am guilty"
Was the low. resigned reply:
THE law has summoned the hangman.
And said that must die
But before the God in heaven,
I did not kill my friend,
And 10 the looming scafTold
\ guililess man YOU send.
The dramshop did this murder
And the drink that fired my brain.
That made me do its bidding
And held me in its chain.
But not upon the dramshop,
Nor brewery, nor still,
Nor on the high officials,
Who watch them steal and kill
But on your skirts, your honor.
And every mans who stood
To legalize the gin-mill
Is stamped the brand of blood"
His voice rang like bugle,
No other sound was heard,
While something kin 10 terror
In all who listened, stirred,
And all the court room covered
Beneath the lash of truth;
The boy seemed Judge and jury.
And they the sentenced youth
For back of the laws officials
Is the law that spells my fate;
Add back of the law are the people,
And the people are the state
Ny hand held the murderous weapon,
And the blood on it blade they saw,
But back of the deed was the dramshop
And back Of the dramshop the law.
And whatsoever hath voted
To license this evil. ties
The shameful knot of the haugman
Round the neck of the man who dies
And on his hands are the blood-drops
And on his brow a sign
That he is the man who sheddeth
Ny dear friends blood andmine."
Then back to his cell they lead him
And there on the trap he'll stand;
And the bloody farce will be acted
Again and again in the land,
And every Redeemed gibbet
Shall be a nations blame;
For every ballot is crimson
That is cast for a nations shame.

ANTITRUST LEAGUE FOR HEARST

That the leaders of the antitrust

American antitrust league in diff

Texas TO North Dakota. from Cali
