STORE BURNS AT
 SHELBY SPRINGS
Contract for Selma City Hall
 Causes Much Discussion
FORFEIT MAY YET BE PAID
interesting Connection Is Found to Exist Between Esopus and Selma. Mrs. S. Cutner Dies at
 Tallahassee.

Selma, July 29-(Special.)-A telegram received this morning from Shelby springs announced the burning of the store and postoffice at that place last night short ly after oclock. The origin of the fire is placed to a spark from freight en- zine going north shortly before the fire was discovered. The store and postoffiee was entirely destroyed but no other dam- age was done. The loss Is not stated but it is judged to be about $500
 Will City Receive Forfeit.
 There is considerable interest mani Tested over the contest in the completion of the city hall market house and fire department headquarters. This building was to have been completed over SIX months ago but for one reason and anoth- CT has dragged along until several weeks ago when a new contract was entered into with the old contractor R. P. Man ly, and a clause provided that for every day before August 15 that the building was completed the city would pay bonus of SlO day and on the other hand for every day required to finish it after August 15 Manly was to pay forfeit of the same amount.
 It begins to look like the city will re- ceive the forfeit and Manly has filed two exceptions, one claiming that unavoidable delay was experienced in getting material and the other that the committee re- quired some extra work Of course these matters will be decided by the proper tribunal.
 Died at Tallahassee.
 The remains of Mrs. s. Cutner were brought to this city this morning for in terment her death having occurred in Tallahassee. Fla. The deceased was a mother of Mrs. Isreal Boxhorn. formerly of this city. She was brought to a sani- tarium here several weeks ago, but was pronounced uncurable and went back to her Florida home to await the end.
 She was a good woman and her death is greatly mourned.
 Selma and -sopus Connected.
 The nomination of Judge Parker for the presidency by the democracy and the bringing to light of the little town of Esopus has unearthed a Selma connection with the place. In Esopus resides Judge Clearwater. a republican who for many years has been the principal opponent of Judge Parker in all matters political, sometimes winning his contest. sometimes losing but always maintaining a friend ship with the distinguished jurist that Is to be the next President.
 Judge Clearwater the dispatches state is to again lead the fight against Judge Parker and his endeavor in November will be to carry the village of Esopus against him. The Selma connection of the party comes in with the fact that Judge Clearwater is a brother of Mrs. c. A. Patterson of this city.

READY TO VOTE.

Walter Wellman, the famous politi
cal contributor to the Record Herald,
says managers in both political camps
are having difficulty in circulating
their ,spel! binders and their campaign
literature. He says the voters are not
indifferent To the Importance of the
issue, but they have made up their
minds. blr Wellman further says:
The people have not lost interest in
public affairs, but there is nothing that
stirs them up; nothing that starts them
to arguing. What is there in the poll
teal campaign that group IF men in
the smoking compartment could get up
discussion about? Occasionally you
may hear men Offering their individual
opinions as to the character of the can
didates for president, but there is not
enough in that to produce much ex-
element. Such talks usually run like
this--I have heard several of them:
The republican SAYS Teddy is thor
ough bred and ''all right. The demo-
crat remarks that he admires Teddy,
too, bat thinks he may be just little
too strenuous a i'd that Parker would
be safer president. The republican
asks what the president has done that
the democrat objects to, and his friend
replies: Nothing; but we don know
what he is going to do next Then
they both laugh and fall to talking
about wheat or the ''Japs" or the S .
Louis fair.
Chairman Cortelyou and his assoc
ciates believe the fight is already won,
and their only fear now is that their
people will suffer with overconfdence.
Mr.. Cortelyou is constantly sending out
warning to his lieutenants in the de-
batable states to beware of feeling too
sure. So far the republicans have very
little money just enough to pay rum
ming expenses. Treasurer Bliss coz
fides to his friends that raising cam
paigns money this year is altogether
the most discouraging task he ever
undertook. The hat comes back we'll
nigh empty every time it is passed.
The democratic managers have a
great deal more money than the repub-
licans. 1t is believed the proportion
OF dollars in the rival war chest is as
four to one. 1t is an open secret that
most Of the democratic funds have
come from few trusts-the New York
sportation trust, the sugar trust,
the oil trust and the tobacco trust II
the democrats make any Roadway with
their anti-trust Issue in pursuance OF
Judge Parker's suggestions, the repub.
licans are preparing to point to the
democratic campaign fund and to ask
the old question, Where did you gel
it?' Spirit Lake Beacon.

FABLE OF EsoPus.
The Hungry Man and the Wise
Uncle.

A Young man who felt the pangs of
unappeased appetite gnawing at his
stomach, noticed some pies displayed
for sale. After looking at them for
sometime, he said to his friends who
attended him. Give me bat one pie
and promise not to ask for second"
His friends wondered greatly at his
forbearance and were silent
Later on, the young man met his
wise. but ungrammatical uncle, and,
after relating the event above chron-
icled, said to him. Certainly | have
ablished a reputation for modesty,
and ialso for economy in the admins
tration of the culinary department by
refusing a second pie.
The uncle who, besides being wise,
could see through the spaces of atmos-
phere enclosed between the rungs of a
ladder, replied: Since YOU wasn't
up-and-up certain OF getting the first
pie, mebbe twas wise to say you didn't
want the second; but, so far as accum-
ulating reputation by so doing, I'm
thinking one-half the fellows who
heard you thought pie didn't agree
with Your stomach and t'other half
knew you was lyin
Moral Before you get your first
presidential term, don't say you don't
want second, or half the people will
believe you was lyin.

DAVIS AS APRorEcrloNIsr.

Philadelphia Press: Mr.. Davis, the
democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent, has just made speech in West
| Virginia in which he said.
MY position on the tariff was stated
by me- in an address made in the Unit
ed States senate in 1889, as follows L
am for tariff that will yield sufficient
revenues for the economical and prop
er expenditures of the government, and
in that tariff | believe incidental pro-
lection to our industries is right ard
proper | see no reason for changing
my position as then stated y
Mr.. Davis has always been protec
zionist. Theoretically and practically
he has supported the protection policy.
He mas himself largely shared in the
Astounding prosperity which that policy
ha. brought to his own state of West
Virginia II the democratic platform
be true when il describes projection
as robbery OF the many to enrich the
few, then Mr.. Davis is one of the
most conspicuous ''robbersn in the
country.
He viii be more respected for stand
ing by his colors, as he does in the
speech he has just made, than he would
be If he had .5emporiZed and apollo. IL
ed and attempted TO trim his sails TO
suit the varying winds of his party. If
ne had undertaken to square himself
by the platform or even to reconcile
himself with tn. candidate for presi-
dent he would have been recognized as
sincere and untrustwor,hy. He has
not changed his views. and he does not
pretend to have done so.
But what an illustration of the in
consistent, self-contradictory, self-stul-
tifying attitude of the democracy.
That party adopts a platform denounc-
ing protection as robbery and then
dominates on it a candidate who is not
only a known protectionist, but who,
as candidate, says he sees no reason
for changing his position! This in
congruity fifty matches the plea of the
candidate for president who says that
the tariff ought to be torn to pieces,
but that he couldn't do any harm as
president because republican senate
wouldn' let him.
These Inconsistencies show the diff
ferences in the democratic ranks. But
it remains true that the predominant
sentiment and tendency of the party
are hostile TO protection and that its
success would portend disaster now as
it die in 1892

JUST WHAT is ORDER NO. 1872

Review of Reviews: Some of those
who have attacked Mr.. Roosevelt on
account of his pension order have man
aged to spread the impression that it
is an order which places all veterans
OF 81 years of age on the pension roll.
This is not the case. The pension or
der does not put all veterans of 81 on
the government pay list
1t does not, indeed, put nybody on
the list. 1t has no bearing upon any
cases excepting those of manual work
ers dependent upon their own eff
forts who come forward with atfidavits
ald positive evidence to the effect that
they are partially disabled. La those
cases the pension office, under order
Nc IS, will recognize the fact of adj
vancing years as in itself a general evi-
dence of declining physical ability and
declining opportunity: and the expert
ence of the Office In dealing with this
law for. now, long period of years has
simply shown that it is fitting and APP
propriate TO establish the presumption
that one-half disa 5ility begins at the
age of 81 rather than at the age of 60.
The issuance of executive orders
cannot change the law of congress: and
order No. IS does not, in fact, entitle
any man to q pension since the issuance
OF the order who was not equally EMIT
| led to it before. In other words, if the
9mi-disability for which congress un.
dertook to provide does not actually
exist, the applicant cannot properly be
put on the pension rolls even though
he be 100 years old. Ii there is any
red question to be raised at all, Il
should be one that does not touch the
executive order, but rather the prac
tical way in which under Commissicr
er Ware and the working force of tht
pension bureau, such an order IS ex
| pected in detail
If the opponents Of President Roose
velt's administration are prepared t,
say that Commissioner Wa.e and tn,
officials of the pension office are crowG
ing the lists with new pensioners WHIT
have no right under the law to receiv'
public money, let them say so. Mr.
! Roosevelt remarks, in his letter of &C
ceptance. that the order in question i
revocable at the pleasure of the execu
tive" and, he proceeds. If our oppon
ents come into power, they can revok
this order and announce that they viii
treat the veterans of 81 and 70 as in full
bodily vigor and not entitled to pen
sion. The president holds that in or
der to meet Squarely an issue that the
have raised the democrats mast stat
coasretely what they. themselves inten
to do if they get the opportunity.
