GLOBE SIGHTS.

IFrom the Atchison Globe1
Atchison has n cannon, but is afraid
to shoot it off.
When mans kin won't visit him, he is
pretty omery.
Il am willing to diet. but am too hun
cry to do 1t. Drake Watson
We notice that as we grow older we are
more neglectful in hating our enemies.
A farmer is always uncomfortable when
in town from expecting the town men to
rob him
Every one thinks to himself: If there
is no hell, how is -- to get what he de-
serves?
Somehow. the sight of men dressed in
just enough to show their muscles, never
appealed to us.
The people of a country town can make
a terrible lot of noise with two anvils,
powder, and a red hot iron.
All that we ask of the devil when he
gives us both barrels is that he takes no
suggestions from those who disIiked us on
earth.
There.are many people who believe that
if they can attain measurement of Just
so much around the chest that they will
never die.
We know an excellent old lady who is
in every way But she lies ten years
about her age.
Eugene Smith says he doesn't care how
much company they have at his house
until he has to sleep three in a bed. Then
he kicks.
A man may not want a dog in the
house, but if dog belongs to his child
and the child wants it to sleep on the
parlor chairs, he finds that he is sub
hitting.
When a farmer goes to heaven and the
Good Man gives him a seat on His right
hand, and harp and a robe, the farmer
pretty nice; but it's not as good as you
promised"

TRAIN MOVES.
Colorado Flyer Goes by Way OF St.
Joseph.

The Rock Island at o'clock today
sent the Colorado Flyer, which has
been in Topeka since last night, west
by way of Horton, Fairbury, Belleville
and Goodland.
Supt. c. w. Jones and w. o. Nevill
of the Rock Island ct noon today
made the trip to Elmont over the St
Joseph branch of the road on
switch engine. The track was found
to be in a safe condition for trains
to pass over. although the water is
two feet deep over the tracks at the
Davis elevator in North Topeka. This
water is standing still. There has
been no current to wash out the track.
The bridges and culverts were
found to be in a safe condition, al
though the high water on Soldier
creek threatened the structures.
This train will carry the west
bound mail.
The Santa Fe and Union Pacific will
use this outlet from Topeka to send
trains both east and west provided
their respective lines are not opened
soon.
The st. Joseph train was not sent
out today on schedule time.

CUZON'S PRIDE.
1t Is Alleged to Be Responsible for
Expedition to Thibet.

Washington, July THE discreet
inquiries of the state department into
the object of the British Thibetan ex-
petition, as related in yesterdays AS
ISOLATED Press cablegram from Lon
don, appears to have developed a
rather curious fact, namely, that the
British home government was luke
warm, If not absolutely Indifferent in
the matter of sending Younghusband's
expedition toward Lhassa-
Indeed, 1t is said here that Colonel
Younghusband was allowed to go for
ward to save the pride of Viceroy
Curzon. The latter fancied that he
had not been treated with proper con-
sideration by the half-wild Thibetans.
and failing to secure what he deemed
due official recognition of the repre-
sentatives of the Indian government
sent by him into Thibet, he appealed
to the home government for an armed
escort to secure proper treatment for
his conveys and the home government
reluctantly asSented.
1t is said here that the British gov
eminent has already indicated it's Will
lingness to with draw this punitive ex-
petition as soon as it ca nobtain from
the Thibetans promise of yielding the
points which were at issue between
India and Thibet before the expedition
crossed the border of the latter coun-
try. These are pledges of freedom of
trade between the two countries md
official recognition of the right of the
representative of the British govern
ment to exercise his functions in
Thibet.
The British are willing to retire on this
basis the more readily that they are now
satisfied from their own experience that
there is no danger to be apprehended OF
Russian encroachments on India by way
of Thibet, in view of the tremendous geo
gra phical obstacles.
It is stated that the British government
has received the American overtures on
this subject in the best of temper, indeed
they were rather welcome as tending to
emphasiz the determination of the
American government to do everything
possible to protect the integrity of China,
an object quite as dear to the British as
to the Americans.

NEW ELECTORAL COLLEGE,.

A fact which will have considerable
importance in the political calcula-
tions little later in the campaign is
that the election this year will be by
an electoral college having 80 more
votes than the one chosen four years
ago This is the first presidential
election held under the apportionment
that followed the census of 1900 OF
the 80 additional votes, went to
southern states which are solidly Dem
ocratfc. II to states which, by all re-
cent tests of public opinion, are Re
publican. and to states which gem
orally are classed as debatable- Here
is an advantage to the Republican
marty which would be important in
close election. The Democrats enter
the campaign with twelve states. hav-
ing ia electoral votes. which are so
solidly for their party that the election
will be a mere formality. These are
Alabama. Arkansas. Florida, Georgia.
Louisiana, Mississippi. Missouri. North
Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee.
Texas, Virginia.
There are no other states which can
be called unbeatable in the same
sense that these Democratic states are

CORPORATIONS IN
FULL CONTROL
MIR. Bryan and His Commoner in
Despair-Utter Darkness at
Lincoln.
Special to The Journal.


Lincoln, Neb., April In an edi-
torial trimming over with pessinoistic
utterances, w. J. Bryan, in his Com
ty proposes to meet the present issue,
and says in part:
The great and overshadowing question
presented by all the issues discussed is,
shall the corporations or the people control
the government Of the United States? To-
day the corporations are in absolute con-
troll.
Even when the supreme court decides
that the government has the power to
destroy the trusts. the attorney general
rushes forward and assures the combina
lions that the administration has no in
tention Of disturbing them. The president
refuses to enforce the law as it stands,
and the republican congress refuses to en-
act new legislation.
The government is being used for the
enrichment OF the few at the expense of
the many; officials are making money by
the sole of their influence, and corruption
is rampant in city, state and nation.
The public conscience has been stupe-
fed by comm ercialism- until the grossest
offenses against liberty and good govern
ment do not awaken the protest that
ought to be made against even trivial de-
partures from the path of rectitude.?
Mr.. Bryan goes on to say that the
republicans truthfully point to the
Cleveland administration with the
declaration that nothing was done
against the trusts during his incum.
bency, and finally admonishes the par.
| ty to steer clear of Cleveland and hi!
| kind, and stand by the same doctrin.
as in the last two campaigns.

The action of the democratic state,

ing to pass a resolution pledging the
democracy Of the state to support the
candidate nominated for president by
the st. Louis convention Is believed to-
have been inspired by Bryan and

upon democrats everywhere. with a
view to coercing the national conven-
ton into adopting a Bryan platform

The fact that he was aided and

existence Of a working combination
between Hearst and Bryan. -:
Hearst's domination of the South
Dakota convention was SO complete
that his personal responsibility for

Democrats in congress believe the
South Dakota convention foreshadows
purpose on the part Of Bryan and
Hearst to disrupt the democratic party
If they can. Neither has anything to
