sTEwART's FLOP.

9 TEWART, county attorney-elect of
- SEWER county, may be too small to
deserve any notice at the hands of The
Herald, but we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our opinion of him. Stewart
was the only man on the Democratic
ticket elected in Sewer county this fall
He won. not because he was popular,
not because of his peculiar fitness for
the position, not because he is a better
man than hundreds Of others who could
be found in Sewer, but because his Re
publican opponent was extremely I'M
popular. The Republican candidate,
indeed. had charges of a grave criminal
nature hanging over him.
Stewart says ne is now a Republican.
Since the election a great light has
dawned on him. He will be a Democrat,
he claims, In national affairs, but in
county politics he will be a Republican.
Here's hoping he will not hesitate long
about Pumping himself wholly into the
Republican party. The Democrats
have no need nor any use for such in
Of justification for his bolt the excuse
that the Democrats did not support him
cordially, that he was elected by Re-
publican votes.
So he was elected by Republican
votes. This is true of necessity. for Sc
vier is normally Republican county.
But the Democrats. as Stewart very
we'll knows, rallied strongly to his sup
port. There may have been one or two
exceptions, but not enough to impair
the rule. Stewart was unanimously
nominated in a Democratic convention.
He owes his position TO the Democratic
party entirely and absolutely. And yet,
now that the lust for Office has come
over him, he has the effrontery to turn
his back on the party that made him
and to go over, body, soul and
breeches, to the Republicans.
We hope Stewart viii not imagine for
a moment that anyone looks upon his
detection as a serious loss to the Demo
cratic party in Sewer. He himself
probably thinks so, but in that opinion
he is entirely alone. The Democratic
party is decidedly better off without
him. 1t is the principle of the proceed
ing that disguste. The man himself
is too utterly insignificant for words.
The Sewer Republicans may have all
the Democrats of the Stewart stripe
they can possibly gather and We'll
never shed a tear.
And if the Republicans should NOM
mate him at the end of his term for
the Office he is soon to hold, or forfany
other Office, we hope every Democrat
viii be tireless in his efforts to consign
Stewart to OBLIVION at the polls.

sightless and Speeches..
New YORK Times.l

William A. Pinkerton tells Of an old
time confidence man who used to do
business in Chicago. He was anxious
to work Unm0lested around a depot
where a special officer was engaged to
protect the unwary. The crook one day
walked up behind the officer, whom he
knew pretty well, and suddenly. reached
around and put his hands over the OFF,
GERS eyes.
Can you see anything now!" asked
the ICON" man.
Not a thing said the other, az he
raised his hands. The crook removed
his hands and $40 gold piece. fell into
each Of the officers hands.
The crook walked away Laughing, but
the officer followed. Say" he re-
marked, 'if you put one of those into
my mouth / could not even speak

NEWSPAPERS TRUST BROKEN.

A DECISION Of interest to newspa-
Il pers and to advertisers through
out the country was handed down by
the supreme court of the United States
the other day in what is known as the
Milwaukee newspaper boycott case"
There are four newspapers in Nrwau-
kee. One OF them raised its advertising
rates. The other three very promptly
entered into an agreement by the terms
OF which no advertiser who paid the
advanced rate should be permitted to
use the columns of the combine except
a. an increased rate.
On the other hand, advertisers who
refused TO pay the increase to the out
slider could use any or all of the three
combined newspapers at the old rates.
The outside paper brought suit under
the wisconsin antitrust law for the
dissolution OF the combination. The
case was hard fought on both sides, for
Il was admittedly what the lawyers call
"close." so close was it that the judge
before whom it was originally heard
asked, after an interval Of several
weeks. the lawyers to come before him
and reargue it.
The court finally held that the com
bination must be dissolved. An appeal
10 the supreme court of the United
states was taken for the purpose OF
testing the validity of the Wisconsin
statute. Counsel for the combination
argued that a law which makes it i'm
possible for citizen in a given line OF
business to wilfully, though not malic-
ioi>slv. interfere with another citizen in
the same line, must Of necessity be in
valid. The contention was also set NJ
that no question Of restraint of trade
was involved since advertising is moi
trade. but merely a means of fostering
trade"
The supreme court does not seem tC
have paid any attention to the latter
contention. It Is obvious that the pur-
chase and sale of advertising is JUS
as much trade as any other form o.
business. The space is the newspaper
merchandise. just as the stock of goods
is the merchants. A review Of the de
cision says:
ut is decided in effect that the prohi
bifion by legislation of combination
and agreements wilfully to injure Of
interfere with the business or propert,
Of persons. even where no malice il
present and where the purpose i
10 attract patronage or trade at the ex
+ pense of the person injured or inter
fered with. is not contrary to the inten

HIS BAD BREAK.
Called a Man bird" With Most
Astonishing Results.


Talking about fright and gray hairs"
said a travelling man, my hair never
came so near turning white in a single
night as II did cooule of weeks ago.
when l was in town in one of the Wild
est patches of country in the west. i en-
tered a cafe and started IN to ingratiate
myself with the boys, and was getting
along fine.
There was one old fellow who hung
around the bar great deal and seemed to
have everybody scared. i made up my
mind that he was chap wanted to have
on my side. so / started In and made UP
TO him the best 1 knew how. told him
all the funny stories 1 knew. Every time
he laughed everybody else laughed. and
when he didn't seem to like it there was
a general attack of the blues. After
awhile he told a story himself. / laughed
as hard as / could and slapped him on
the shoulder and said:
I've heard of YOU before
You hsve| said he, looking suspicious
Yes said I. and you're all right.
You're a bird
Il never saw such a swift change Of
scenery in my life. The floor was cleared
all of a sudden and all the occupants of
the place except the old man and myself
We're looking uD from behind tables. He
had a siX-ShOOter pointed at me. and If
mis- finger had trembled I'd have been the
subject for a dearest Willie, thou hast
left u.s.. piece Of poetry then and there.
Just then a young girl rushed into the
place and threw herself between us.

is about chapter ii. She exclaimed:

''No. She didn't say anything of tht

New York. Feb. 1s.-Under the impress

powerful tugs went up the Hudson several
days ago TO break out couple OF barges
that had been frozen I'm near Tarrytown
and Rockland Lake, and incidentally to
try to open up river navigation.
The venturesome shippers found the
barges surrounded by Ice varying In
thickness from a foot TO two feet and they
used dynamite TO open a channel.
Before they were half through with
their work the cold wave was on them
and they turned tail for New York. They
had let loose a mighty lot OF finty fresh
water foes which arrived here in force on
Tuesday morning. tying up commercial
navigation from Fort Hamilton to the en-
trance OF the East river and practically
stopping all the work OF docking steam
ships on the Brooklyn water front.
Only one incoming freighter. the Her.
miston. from Yokohama, was warped into
berth there yesterday.
The ice Jam along the Brooklyn shores
was due TO the high westerly wind Seven
towboats and fleet OF lighters went into
Atlantic Basin just before the big inva-
sion OF Ice. When shippers awoke yester-
day they found that the basin was frozen
over. and walked across the ice and visit
ed one another swapping condolences.
