ADDICKs' ambition to become a
member OF the United States Senate
is still unsatisfed, and as the state OF
Delaware is small and Addicks' bank
account is large, it is more than like
ly that he will get there. There has
been some pretty poor specimens OF
politicians and some very poor apol-
Iogies of men in the Senate, but when
Addcks reaches the goal Of his am
bition it would seem that the limit
was reached.

A BIG apple crop creates barrel
famine in very short order. In other
words, secondhand barrels are not
as plenty as they used to be, and an
increased demand shows the scarcity
at once. The explanation given for
the decrease is that -four is moi put
up in barrels nearly as much as for
merly. Strong paper bags have been
found to be cheaper and more con-

GEN. MILES ADVICE.
Tells PrOhibitionists to Walt
Awhile.

New York, March 23-Rey. James B.
Dunn, D. D.. of this city. has received
this letter from Lieut. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles. retired
Washington. D. c., March IS, 1904.
Rev. James B. Dunn. D. D., New
York:
Dear Sir-Your letter of recent date
was duly received. For your kindly
expressions please accept my thanks.
Our country is now confronted by
situation and is called upon to decide
questions OF the greatest moment. Not
since the adoption of our constitution
nave greater responsibilities rested
upon the sovereign voters of this coun-
try than those which will be placed
upon them during the coming autumn.
These questions are national and
afrect the very foundation and form of
government. My thought and serious
consideration have been directed to the
matters herein indicated.
Inc estlmable citizens whom you
represent can not fail to take a deep
interest in the decision of those ques-
tons as well as in that one highly i'm
portant matter which you so earnestly
desire to promote
1T IS a truth as old as Holy Writ
that temperance is one of the seven
cardinal virtues. Is not it's advocacy
consistent With a like jealous advocacy
or great national questions not direct
~ involved with it?
he two great political parties of
nearly equal strength that divide the
country Will make nominations and
announce platforms within the next
few months. Should either make such
a nomination and announce such prin-
cfples as will command the approval
and cordial support of those whom you
represent the opportunity to advance
the objects of the temperance party
would be offered, while, at the same
time, the patriotic men composing
that party would contribute most es-
sentially to the uplifting of our coun-
try from menacing evils.
Should no nomination be made by
either of the great parties that would
command the cordial support of the
temperance people, the opportunity to
make nomination of it's own would
still remain.
For the reasons herein briefly in
Dictated I am strongly of the opinion
that it would be inadvisable for the
temperance party to hold it's conven-
ton until after it has had an oppor-
tunity to observe the action of tie
other two. 1 remain very truly yours,

charters and ceased to exist. This was
the first party to nominate candidates
for Dresident-Williarn Writ, the great
jurist and Amos Elnaker, for president
and vice president, in 1S32-by conven-
ton, as all political parties do now.
Legislative committees were appointed,
laws were passed outlawing Masonry,
and even governors were elected by
what is known in history as the great
Anti-Masonic party

Weed, William H. Seward, Thaddeus
Stevens, Henry Wilson, and other well
known leaders and politicians. Lin
coin and all his cabinet were avowed
Charles Francis Adams, Charles Sum-
ner; and John Brown was a seceder
and circulated Morgan's expose and
Gidding's Anti-Masonic Almanac. Har-
per's Magazine says: LAS the larger
portion of the Wing party was merged
into the Republican, the dominant
party of today has a lneal descent
from the feelings aroused by the abb
duction of Morgan from the jail at
Canandaigua."
If this little article shall set the
younger citizens to reading UP the pol
itics and platforms of the past it Will

POLITICAL PARTIES.
Correspondent Writes of Their His
tory and Careers.

! To the Editor of the State Journal:
/ Many younger voters know but little
of the political movements of the past.
At the close of Washington's admins
tration two factions had developed in
American politics. Alexander Hamilton
and the Adamses were known as Fed
eralists." They were aristocratic, i'm
perialistic and believed in a strong cen
tralized government. Thomas Jefferson
led the Republicans" who were very
democratic in their views and believed
in the direct power of the people. Party
spirit ran high from the start. Both
parties won in the election of 1885, the
Federalists electing John Adams presi-
dent and the Republicans Thomas JET
ferson vice president. The Republicans
reelected Jefferson president in 1900
and Aaron Burr vice president John
Randolph led an independent Republic
can or democratic faction. a kind of bal
ance of power movement ALLEN and
sedition" laws formed the bone of con-
Iention. The Republicans took on the
name of Democrat" and the tocsin be-
came Free Trade and Sailors Rights"
from the impressment of American sea-
men, and the war of 1912 resulted. A
coalition of the Federalists and Demo-
Gratis formed kind of mugwump, or
Peace party" From 1916 to 1920 the
Monroe Doctrine" evolved.
THE Missouri Compromise" was
sounded in 1921. John Quincy Adams
and John c. Calhoun were elected
president and vice president by the
house of representatives in 1925, the
parties voting so even as to throw the
selection to that body. This administra-
ton inaugurated the so-called ''protec-
tive system" The doctrine of states
rights bobbed up under President
Jackson. in the South Carolina conven-
ton, and '-nullifica ton became a prime
factor in southern politics. Older men
remember to this day how the Webster
Hayne debate stirred the nation. Van
Buren's "sub-treasury'' scheme reap
peared in the Grange and Alliance
The Wing party was born in 1S40.
James G. Birney led the Liberty" OF
third party and polled 1859 votes and
in 1874 he received 62,300 ballots. In
184S Van Buren, polled POI 1858 Tree
Soil' votes and in 1852 John P Hale
1856 149. John c. Fremont led the
modern Republicans with 1,341 264

POURED OUT BEER.
Supply Secured at "Cash" Curtis
Place Is DESTROYED.

About car load Of Kansas City beer
was poured into the sewer connection
of the city Jail last night. Four police
men worked all night disposing of the
80 kegs and 100 cases of beer taken by
the police from Cash Curtis North To-
peke wholesale house yesterday All
the bottles and kegs were saved, and
will be returned to the Ferd Helm
Brewing company, but the beer is
hopelessly mixed with the waters of
the Kaw.
The destruction of the beer could
have been prevented by the owners or
agents had not the district court fail
ed to serve the replevin papers secured
during the afternoon. Clerk of the
Court 7. S. Curtis did not think there
was any rush about it, as he had asked
McCollum if the stuff was to be de-
stroyed. NO." replied McCollum, mot
right away, at least"
McCollum had at the time he told
Mr.. Curtis this whopper, made all his
arrangements for dumping the beer.
Chief McCollum is pointing proudly to
his action as an exhibition of nerve
not possessed by former chiefs, but lie
is not under bond.
