EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

Republicans don't need to say q
word or do thing. Democrats are
contributing our ammunition. Mr..
Bryan bitterly resents his maltreat-
ment by his old comrades and at
least ten democratic senators will
demonstrate by their votes that
President Roosevelt has done a
wise, just, humane and patriotic
thing in Panama.
Dean Vincent reports to Presi-
dent Harper of the university of
Chicago that the experiment of
separating the sexes in the college
work of the past year has been a
success. Several teachers who were
strongly in favor of coeducation
have changed their minds and now
oppose it.
The cry that this will be an office
holders campaign is sufficiently
answered by the president himself,
who says, II do uot wish to dictate
to conventions their choice of
delegates; but I would suggest,
whenever it is possible to get good
men who are not holding Office, to
do so. No influence from Washing
ton will be brought to bear upon
them to influence their votes. ;"
That sounds very much like a
blunt honesty.
Governor Taft says that 1.-THE
Philippines for Filipinos will be the
keynote" of his policy concerning
the archipelago. This harmonizes
with what he has hitherto said and
it does not seem to breathe the
spirit of tyranny or of hatred for
the Declaration of Independence
Opponents of vivisectiOn will
actively .sympathize in the con-
dition of the Democratic party in
the United States senate. The
Humane society ought to extend
it's functions.
Secretary Shaw is called a variety
of unsavory names by Gen. Thorn
as of Chicago, whom he removed
from tho Office Of appraiser of the
port. 1t is hard to let go of big
salary.
Congressman John Sharp
Williams, the Democratic leader
of the House, says that in his
opinion the silver issue is dead and
buried. Whereupon Mr.. Bryan
starts in to stump all the
Southern states. Mr. Williams
seems to coincide with Mr..
Cleveland Let him go it,
Mr.. Bryan will publish a daily
newspaper during the st. Louis
fair Stand from under.
The liveliest candidate for the
Democratic nomination for
president is the vivacious and
polychromatic editor of the New
York, Chicago, and San Francisco
&C., &C., &c. He would perhaps
run without regard to color, but
would certainly be heard before
election day.
The Patent Office has made a
surplus Of about 5000, 900 this
year, and the business has in
creased thirty per cent in five
years. The total balance to the
credit of the office in the U. S.
Treasury on New Years day
was S., 692, $40, 81 But it is sadly
cramped for room and is not
allowed to use. the profits which it
makes.
w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., stunning
his automobile on the Florida beach
at the rate OF 81 miles an nOuf aIlO
has a bet to make it 100. The blood
of the old Commodore seems to be
in him.
A legislative committee of the
Massachusetts legislature gave a
hearing on womens suffrage the
other day one of the women
orators opposed it on the ground
that during the Chicago riot it was
men and not women who were
called into armed service to resist
the mob. She said the ballot was
a concession and not right and
like all government was founded on
| force.
