the administration is concerned. and
hat ''even the Rockefellers are show.

Then after saying that Mr.. Roose.
velt was "a pretty good politician -
Mr.. Wellman backed up his claim with
this interesting statement: ut re.
quires genius of high order to carry
on little crusade against Wall Street
and through it gain immense populari-
ty with the masses of the people as the
foe of the trusts and then to turn round
and gain the approval and possibly the
help Of a considerable share of Wall

Ing like spanked kid. and telling the
world what terrible creature Japan

ANOTHER HARK FROM THE TOMB.

Mr.. Cleveland has undertaken to
give the Democratic party some more
advice. The advice is much after the
kind which a certain Mr.. Arnold-we
believe his first name was Benedict
might have given to the followers OF
Geo. Washington after the said Mr..
Arnold had attempted the surrender
West Point, and the overthrow OF those
fighting for independence. 1t seems
strange that Mr.. Cleveland has never
been able to See his conduct as others
have seen it. Since we find him 30
Obtuse and unable to see the moral
turpitude OF handing his party over to
the enemy, We have far more sympathy
for poor Arnold than we were taught
1t was proper for rs to have when we
studied his character at school. After
all 1t may be that Benedict did not
belieYe he had done anything wrong
and always regarded himself az a
martyr rather than a traitor. The
theory is a plausible one, seeing that
Grover 80 regards himself.

After Washington refused third
term and Jefferson refused a third
term, it became an unwritten law that
no man should be elected to third
term. But when those laws which
were written are constantly being vic
lated, what boots it that mere Gus
tom should be broken2 Is unwritten
law more sacred than written law
Never says Mr.. Cleveland. Especially
may a third term be served when the
terms do not follow consecutively,
and for himself it looks as If be were
going to make a dash for it.

EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS.

For years the SPECTATOR has, at the
beginning of every session of the Leg
islature. called attention to the neces-
sity for law compelling the execution
OF criminals condemned to death, to
take place In the penitentiary. We
did not do 80 this year because we
thought the case hopeless. But the
execution of Williams, the Roanoke
negro, ought to be sufficient to cause
such law to be written and passed at
once. The saving to the State would
be vast both in money aud morals.

A Hopeless Case

M RS. NJ, having only one SON WAS naturally

inch a man" Consequently she was more
delighted when Teddy began to show signs
of decided preference for those toys manu-
factured to please only the youthful voters
of the land, and games in which only boys
are expected to indulge.
But as the days and months went by
Teddy's preferences narrowed down to
single game-from morning till night he
played horse" The little friends that came
to see his pet pigeons he put into harness.
His mother wearied of telling him about the
steeds of the Arabian deserts and the wild
horses of the plains. His scrap-books over
flowed with the clipped pictures of horses
and ponies, and his Noah's ark began to
resemble the miniature corral of a Western
bronco-breaker.
Teddy's mother began to despair. To
Mrs b her neighbor, she confded her fears
that her boy might go insane on horses
why not try the same plan that has
converted many an old crank on horse
flesh?" suggested Mrs. B. Get him an
automobile"
The next day there arrived at Teddys
home the most beautiful, complete and
interesting little automobile that money
could buy 1t had a motive power supplied
by a storage battery of electricity. 1t had
red-eather cushion seats, pneumatic tires
and brass fnishings. 1t toy calculated
to make glad the heart of billionaire's SON.

"Cured?" gasped Teddy's mother in despair
What do you think? The first day it az
rived he played that he was circus horse,
that the automobile was one of the gaudy
wagons of the parade, and that he was the
horse that had been trained to ride in it.
Then he made believe the automobile was
fire-engine and he the team of horses that
haul it to the fires and last evening ! came
into his play-room, only to find him a-straddle
