L. W. Crawford, of Cascade, Iowa,
wrote to the Chicago Chronicle and
asked if that paper would support
Mr.. Hearst in the event of his re-
ceiving the democratic nomination
at st. Louis. His inquiry was made
the subject Of an editorial, which APP
peared in the Chronicle of last We'd
nesday, and the answer is an unqual-
flied statement that the Chronicle
will not support Mr.. Hearst if he is
the nominee. Now it is inorder for
Mr.. Crawford to ask another ques-
ton. He should ask the Chronicle
if it ever did support a democratic
presidential candidate.

The instinct of mankind against sat
Ire is really a very sound instinct.
Satire is always dishonest, for 1t is al
ways the expression of hatred for a
thing hopelessly coveted. Who satirizes
humanity? None but lie who, not hav-
ing the common n..zsgn advantages, is
obsessed with admiration of them.
Who satlrizes plutocrncy? The pauper,
who is warmed by the notion of
wealth. Who satirizes arlstocracy:
The man who wishes he had been born
an aristocrat. Thackeray wished that
and the Marquis of FarintosE was one
of the natural outcomes of his wish

throughout the country, will respond

maps and dispatches published in the

movements Of the armies, but says ii is
difficult to do this as there are so many
conflicting reports. However. the Jap
anese in America are in possession OF
much information regarding the plans Of
their government which is not given to
