 ~HE spirit of the Japanese warrior (Q caste, the samurai' is shown in
 the true story of the "Forty-seven Ronin." It happened at the Shogun's court 200 years ago, and 1t is thus retold by the Lahore Qndia) Tribune:
 Now it happened that a certain pro- vincial lord, Asano of Ako, had been charged with the duty of carrying out the reception of an envoy of the mikado. Asano a bluff fighting man. well aware of his deficiencies, consulted another nobleman, an experienced, sup ple. well-born aristocrat named Kira Kira sneered at honest Asano, and even told him to stoop and tie up his shoe string.
 The hot blood of all the Asinos rose at this wanton insult. Out came the great two-handed sword, and next mo- ment the proud but cowardly Kira was gash in his cheek.
 To make an uproar in the palace was crime punishable by death A board of punishment condemned the much-pro- voked Asano to commit suicide by the traditional method of disembowelmen his castle was confiscated, his family de- clared extinct, his clan disbanded.
 Meanwhile the dead lords clansmen had arranged a plan of campaign. They were now what the Japanese called Ronin-"wavemen''- without a master, wanderers without home They met and swore vengeance.
 Oshi, the head retainer, ordered his men to separate. Some took to mean trades and in the guise of artisans and peddlers gained access to Kira's man. sion. Slowly they collected information as to his habits, the precautions he was taking and the intricacies of his house and garden.
 Oishi himself, to disarm suspicion, plunged into dissipation. He threw aside his well-loved wife and children, was seen lying drunk in the gutters, and conducted himself as a man lost to all sense of shame and duty.
 Two years thus passed. At length Oishi thought he might act. The Forty-seven were called together, and one wild, snowy night in January they attacked the doom- ed lords mansion. The gate was forced the guard killed, and the Ronin ransacked the house for their enemy. At last they found him hiding behind a pile of char coal in an outhouse quaking with fear.
 Kira was too high-born to be killed like dog. and Japanese politeness asserted itself. Oishi kneeled before the noble wretch.
 "Your lordship will forgive your de- graded humble servants" he said. we are only poor soldiers. and though our lords soul demands that you shall die for the injury you did him, we cannot think of killing you without paying every respect to your lofty station. We pray you therefore, to condescend to oblige us by disemhowelling yourself. even as he was forced to do. If you do this we shall be saved the impertinence of laying violent hands on a man we are not worthy to approach"
 Thus, doubtless with a low reverence and a drawing in for the breath. the good Oishi. Kira declined to make an end of himself. So etiquette or no eti- auette, they had to kill him. They cut off his head. marched out to a temple in the city and laid the gory trophy on their own masters grave. Then they awaited their doom.
 It came with the dawn-a command that they should all commit suicide. This

FROM A CLARK.

Anent the invitation recently ex-
tended by the Democratic National
Committee to Hon. Jerry Simpson of
this city totake part in the national
campaign in the doubtful states, it is
pleasing to the friends of Mr.. Simp
son to read the following from Champ
Clark which appeared in one of Mr..
Clark's syndicate letters just before
the meeting of the Las Vegas on
vention. 1t demonstrates the high
place Mr.. Simpson yet holds in the
hearts of the national leaders of the
party. Mr.. Clark writes:
Jerry Simpson is now a farmer
and cattle raiser in New Mexico. He
is a candidate before the Democratic
convention for the nomination of del
egate i'll congress-. No man fixed his
name more firmly in public memory
by so short a service in the house.
He was we'll equipped for his duties
and discharged them ably, fearlessly,
periodically and with a relish. He
is o an orator in the popular accep-
lance of that much abused term. He
is a debater of great ability, which is
a much more important matter in
congress than to be an orator. | am

is more useful in ~transacting business
and in calculating any subject. 1t is

nobody. He neither asked nor gave
quarter. In his time there were 357

might do it, but would know he had
been in the fight of his life. Jerry did
not copfine himself to the midgets.
He went after the biggest game there
was. Thomas Bracket Reed was a
shining mark for his wit and sar-
casm, in both of which 1.-The mar

had some famous bouts. Jerry also
delighted to tackle Ex-Governor Ding

sense of humor. One of the rarest
hours in the history of congress was
that in which Jerry expatiated on
the fact that Ex-Governor Dingley, ia

THE CANDIDACY OF RoDEY.

The telegraph announced yesterday
that at Las Vegas the Independent
Republicans had nominated Bernard
s. Rodey for delegate and that Mr..
| Rodey had accepted and would make
the race. Rodey is not a gutter. and
If he goes into the fight (and he
seems already to have entered IT'D he
will wage a stubborn fight until thu
eve of election day. 1t has been an
open secret that Rodey never accep-
ted the nomination of Andrews as a
fair deal. He realized that he had
been duped by pretended friends, AMI
that by treachery of the most deprav-
ed character they had taken from
him what they could not have won
In an open fight. Until yesterday il
was doubted whether Rodey would
make the fight as al independent
candidate, but as he has now decided
TO do this, in the Republican party
there will be war. a war in which
there will be given and taken no
quarter. The result win be that I'M
til the votes are counted it will be
uncertain which will poll the more
Andrews or Rodey. but it will be a
certainty that Money the Democratic
candidate will poll more votes than
either OF them. and viii be our next

running for representative in this

This should have a subduing effect

that the majority this yea is to be
larger than that of two years ago.
