The old expression, "Ths devil

plification in the manner with which
the Postal Department at Washing

Committee, in the levy OF assessments
for party purposes against Federal and
State office.hOlders. 1t declares I'M
equivocally that no harm is done by
asking public officers to contribute for
campaign expenses, provided such
requests are not sent to their Offices"
the alternative being, probably, that q
messenger or the private telephone be
used. The assessments, it will be oh.
served, may be transmitted by mail,
and are all right if delivered at his
residence, where the matter may be
given consideration that will not inter

duty.
The Civil Service Commission, which
is supposed to be non-partisan, looks
at Palmer's act quite differently. 1t

placed at five per cent. of the yearly

satisfaction that the President re views
the decision of the Postal Department,
that no sin is committed by such
foraging upon the enemy, if there
may be some doubt of its legality
when the act applies to those who
should be glad to "ante" when the

GERMAN Processes STILL GAY
Another German Princess hiss gone
astray-this time il being Princess
Louise, Of Saxe-C obure, who has again
eloped with Count Mattasich .Regle.
WIGHT with whom she fed from home
in 1897. an act which created q great
scandal in royal circles at the time.
The elopement took place last week
and it is thought the couple have
found an asylum where they will be
safe from capture. 1t seems that the
princess since the escapade seven
years ago, has been under strict sur.
veillance, and it was only under the
shrewdest management that she made
her escape to join her lover. Prince
Philip, Of SAKE. Coburg, the husband OF
the Princess, has made no effort to sp.
prehend his erring spouse, and he
appears satisfied to let her go with q
man that time has demonstrated she
loves better than himself.

A LITTLE INCIDENT, But TOUCHING.
1t is a little incident and only q
child's heart is indented with scratch
from q contact with the rough side of
life. but it was pathetic to anybody
whose heart beats with the warmer
impulses OF human nature. At Puyal.
lup station on the Northern Pacific
Railway, the train halts . few mo.
ments, and lately during the pause a
little boy. not more than seven years OF
age, came aboard, with basket OF ripe
pears for sale to the passengers. He
was passing down the aisle with pretty
fair success, when he approached the
seat of an over-grown specimen of the
porcine genus. who had been glaring
at the little fellow over his newspaper,
with probably an antipathy aroused by
the child's helplessness as he timidly
inquired, Pears, sir?" on passing
each occupant of seat. No sooner
had he displayed his has ket of fruit to
the pompous caricature on humanity,
when he shouted in thunder.tones
Get out of here!" The little boys
lips Quivered as he beat hasty retrea t
but there was . glare in many eyes a.
the brutality of the apology for q man
which was followed by . tear OF sym.
pathy for the little fellow who was SO
soon learning the bitter experiences oil
life.

It Wriggles.

1t was hardly thought when the
STANDARD took the P.-I. to task for
misrepresentation of the Democratic
position with regard to the tariff that
it would attempt to meet the charge
OF misrepresentation by the school boy
rctort, "Iou're another" nor was it
thought that a leading paper would
take advantage Of a palpable error of
single synonymous word in quoting
from the st. Louis platform, but it
seems we were mistaken in our esti-
mate of the dignity and fairness Of Il
journal that is noted more for the am
plitude OF its pages than reverence for
truth or fairness. Now the P.-I. says
"The STANDARD deliberately mis-.
quotes the National platform of its
own party" and then gives its own
true quotation, which we give paral-
leled by our own quotation as follows
P.-L Version. Our own Quotation.

II will be seen that the ALLEGED mis-.
quotation has been the inadvertent
substitution of the word necessities"
for needs" wherein the sense is not
affected in the least degree, the two
words being perfect synonyms. This
special pleading is unworthy its source.
1t is throwing dust to obscure. if posi-
BILE, the weakness OF the points it at.
tempts to make.
But the more important matter was
defense OF its use OF the term free trade
as synonym Of tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection" which has
always been the policy Of the Demo-
cratic party. No Democratic platform
has ever used it to embody its tariff
policy. 1t is q term coined by the
radical curb.stone politician to express
his idea oil what tariff reform should
be, and it is this use that has given
the second Specification in the diction-
aries, which are never sought or quoted
by the enquirer when the primary
significance is clear aud concise. Ii
our contemporary would but candidly
admit that it was slip of the pencil
which caught an echo from some
street-corner refrain, it would have
been honored for the fairness and
honesty which should characterize all
journals occupying the exalted field

words, or adopts a meaning for party
expression upon any principle that is
not accepted by the party itself, but
which it repudiates whenever oppor.

it lessons its influence and lowers the
dignity which should at all times
characterize q noble calling,

1t seems that party of half dozen
capitalist sight-seers arrived the other

Cupoearer was, however, equal to the
occasion, and too experienced to man

OF pasteboard and sought Mr.. Moore,
the landlord, for instructions. There
was, OF course. only one way out OF the

at the threshold to keep his wife from
calling "Time" at the most unheard
of times. In his extreme care, how.
ever, he deposited his "brogans" in
the ice-chest and placed the berry
boxes carefully under the bed. The
climax came when his wife opened the
refrigerator the next morning, and
like most women she smiles in such
an exaspirating manner whenever he
attempts to explain how such things
often happen with people who have
minds that take q rest at times.

CARRIES "SOUL is MARCHING On"
AT Cuba, Kansas, on the 31st ult.,
four saloons were wrecked by women,

armed with hatchets, entered and
without warning began smashing ev-

ty-five other women. They all seemed
to be actuated by the spirit OF Carrie
Nation, and even some men caught
the spirit when they rsided the city Jail
and q large supply OF beer that had been
con6scsted for some infraction OF the
law was turned into the gutter. II will
thus be seen how little protection is
afforded property by public sentiment
when deprived of support by the strong
arm OF the law. 1t should be lesson
in these times of aggrandizement and
greed.

Another Of Hills Statements.

An Albany IN. w dispatch of re-
cent date, announces that Dave B.
Hill has made up his mind TO retire
from active politics Jan. LIST; no mat.
ter what may be the result of the
present campaign in State or nation,
that he will relinquish the struggle for
leadership in the Empire State.
His formal declaration includes a
determination not to accept any posi-.
ton under the National or State Ad.
ministrations, or again become a can
didate for any Office whatever. He
made these statements on the eve of
his birthday anniversary on the Goth
ult., an occasion which should add
sincerity to the resolve. He was born
in lS43. He gave as his reason that
he had held various minor civic offices,
and been Governor of his State seven
years, and member of the u. S. Sen.
ate six years, and he. therefore, feels
that he has been sufficiently honored
by his party, and that he desires to
devote more time to his professional
duties than he has in the past.
In view Of the fact that Mr.. Hill re-
peatedly and persistently declared,
when questioned by Mr.. Bryan, 10
committee. at the National Conven-
ton, that he did not know how Judge
Parker stood on the currency question,
this declaration must be taken with
considerable allowance, especially as it
may be considered desirable for him
just now to cast anchors to the wind.
ward and keep from drifting on the
shoals. should the national campaign

fesses to be leader in the present cam.
paign. Parker's defeat, under the cir.
cumstances, would bury Hill beyond
party resurrection, and it may be to
ease the passage way to the grave that
he announces a retirement to private
life. In case of success of the National
ticket, does anybody believe for q
moment that his declaration would
amount to anything more than his
assurance that he knew nothing re-
garding the Presidential candidates

Causes More Than q pple.

The Seattle P.-I., Of the 31st ult.,
says the STANDARD has attempted to
read Mr.. P. d. Moore out of the Demo-
cratic party, because he cannot endure
either Judge Parker for President nor
Senator Turner for Governor. Moth.
ing is further from the truth. Mr..
Moore, having been formally welcomed
into the Democratic party a third of q
CT injury ago, when the Grand High
Patriarch OF the party, Johnny Laws,
uttered the benediction, in the very
dramatic incident which attended bis
admission, it is not for any layman, or
an humble laborer in the vineyard, to
read him, or indeed anybody else, ad.
mitted with so much Formally, out of
the party. The Democrats, it will be
observed, have not yet attained that
refinement in political ethics which
measures the exact bounds OF creed, or
reached that proficiency in party dis.
cipline that justifies expulsion for
opinions sake. That is left for the
party OF high moral ideas 10 do, which
is just now in partnership with about
all that is corrupt and reprehensible.
The truth is, the STANDARD had
from hearsay. been led to believe that
Mr.. Moore had voluntarily left the
party. and in as genteel q manner as
possible waved a yale to an honored
friend and courtly gentleman. Mr..
Moore's letter, in reply, however, indi.
Gated that he never intended to take
French leave" of the party, and that
he only condemns what he thinks il
inconsistent with the past record and
present professions OF Democracy.
