Some time ago an Irishman was
brought before a judge in the north of
England, according to the Galveston
Daily News. and witness after witness
testified that he was the person who
had committed the crime with which
he was charged. The counsel for the
prosecution then arose, and, address,
ing the judge, said:
That's my case, my lord"
Before proceeding to charge the jury
the Judge next asked the prisoner
whether he had anything to say in his
defense.
Yes, my lord" he replied, "Oi wish
to call Misther D., the Chief Warder. of
II. NJ. prison in this city"
This gentlemen was thereupon sent
for, and on being placed in the witness
box, the following question was put to
him by the prisoner:
Mister D., will we phase TO tell the
court where OF was on such-and-such
a day manning the time when the
crime was alleged to have been COM
mitted).
Certainly. You were under my
care, serving six months in H. NJ.
prison in this city"
With great GOODNESS the prisoner then
said:
- Auu may step uoWns Mlstner ID.
Then turning 10 the Judge, he contin-

cutting counsel:

DAVIS, Speech OF, ACcEPTAxcE.

Hon. Henry G. Davis' speech of ac-
ceptance is that of a business man.
He doesn't deal in fine phrases or elo-
quent periods What he has to say
he says briefly. His reference to Mr..
Roosevelt's remarks, in the EATERS
speech of acceptance, that the Repub-
licans know what they mean when
they speak of a stable currency, will
be appreciated. According to Mr..
Roosevelt, they mean the same thing
from year to year. and yet, said Mr..
Davis in their platforms of 1884, 1883
and 1892 they favored the double stand
ard of value Evidently Mr.. Roose-
welt hadn't made himself familiar with
the platforms of his party on the
money question.
Mr.. Davis also called attention to
the fact that in the campaign Of 1900
the Republicans claimed their par
ty ought to be kept in power because
under its administration of affairs
there was always prosperity, while
under Democratic rule there was gen.
orally hard times. Mr.. Davis pointed
out that the country was never more
prosperous and its percentage of
growth in commerce, wealth and popu-
lation was never greater than under
Democratic rule and the Walker tariff
between 1850 and 1860.
We are just now closing a period
of eight years of Republican rule and
what do we see? Mills closed all over
the country, strikes in the East, West,
North and South and nearly 100000
men out Of work Clearly in Mr..
Davis opinion the Republicans will
not be able to make the prosperity
argument in this campaign with as
much effect as they made it in the
campaign of four years ago. Indeed,
they will not be able to make it at all.
Another point to which Mr.. Davis
called attention was the steady in
crease in the cost of administering the
government under Republican rule, and
particularly under the administration
of Mr.. Roosevelt. The cost of admin
istration in 1860. under Mr.. Buchanan,
was 500 per capita, under Mr.. Har-
rison in 1892, $5.72 per capita; under
Mr. Cleveland in 1897, IS. 10 per capita;
under Mr.. Mckinley in 1901, Sc. 56 per
capita and under Mr.. Roosevelt in
1904, $40 per capita. 1t will be seen
from these figures that the cost Of
administering the government is steadi-
ly increasing under Republican rule,
and that the greatest cost has been
since Mr.. Roosevelt became President.
Mr.. Davis advanced the argument
that owing to the fact that the coun-
try's prosperity was on the down
grade, as shown by statistics, and the
further fact that the Republicans are
wasting the peoples money, the time
was ripe for a change in the political
complexion of the government.
Mr.. Davis speech will make a good
impression. 1t will convince those who
have been led to believe from Repub
lican publications, that he is too old
for the office for which he has been
nominated, that they were mistaken,
because it shows that his mind is as
clear and his intellect as keen as it has
been at any time since he began that
remarkable career that has made him
one of the greatest business men of
this country and this age.

Monkeying with His 'spenders.

George is years old and has just
arrived at the dignity of his first
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. suspenders just
like papa wears. They were the pride
of his heart and at night he would
take them off his trousers and clasp
them tight in his arms when he went
to bed, according to the Portland
Oregonian. His mother found them
there the other night, and as they
seemed to be making the little chap
uncomfortable she took them away
and laid them on chair by his
bed.
The next morning he had long in
terview with his mother.
Didn't you tell me, mamma" he
said, that angels watched everything

yes, George"

Yes, my son, they watch over you
always, whatever you are doing"
do they come right in my room at
night?"
Eyes, dear; the good angels are
everywhere, always"
Then" said George, meditatively
II bet they've been monkeyin' with
my 'spenders."

No Time Lost.

A mother, says the New York
Tribune. after days of preparation for
a weeks absence from home, sudden
ly remembered, after the train was
well under way, that she had left a
bottle of a certain well-known remedy
within reach Of the meddlesome little
fingers of her 3-year-old-son. She re-
membered, too, that there was moth
ing that the child loved better than
the aromatic contents of that particu-
lar bottle.
Hurriedly calling the porter, the
anxious mother prepared a message to
be telegraphed from the first station.
1t read:
Hide bottle of Robbie's medicine.
Left 1t on table in my room"
An hour later she received this not
altogether soothing message from the
boys father:
TOO late. Bobbie got there first"

Chairman Taggart has announced
that the Democrats will probably not
invade Maine and Vermont. Thereby
Chairman Taggart seems to show far
more political wisdom than did Mr..
Roosevelt when he ordered the Re-
publicans to invade the South. The
needlessness of wasting Democratic
money and the time of speakers in
the two states first named is almost
a political axiom.

MRS. MAYBRTCK,s STATUS.

A day or two ago the New York pa
pers printed articles indicating that
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, on her arrival
at that city, would be sent back
10 England on the ground that the i'm
nigraucn laws do not permit any one
to enter this country who has been con-
victed of a felony, or a misdemeanor
of the graver sort:
There doesn't seem to have been any
basis for these publications beyond the
fact that the law is as stated in them.
Sometime ago, however, Mrs. Maybricl1
stated that she had received a letter
from the Commissioner of immigration
at Washington to the effect that she
would meet with no obstruction to her
entrance into this country on her ar
rival at New York or any other United
States port.
or course there is just a little room
for doubt as to whether or not Mrs.
Maybrick is a citizen of this country.
She is American born. but she mar
ried an Englishman and went to Eng
land to live. She was citizen of that
country as long as her relations with
Mr. Maybrick continued. AS soon as that
relation ceased, however, she was free
to become an American citizen again
without other ceremony than declara-
ton of that fact. For fifteen years,
however she was confined in an Eng
lish prison, and, hence, wasn't free to
declare her intention in the matter
AS soon as she secured her release she
announced her purpose to resume her
citizenship in this country.
There is no doubt that our govern
because the immigration agents at Ellis
Island have been given instructions not
to throw any obstacles in the way of
her landing Immediately on her ar
rival.
The reason the newspapers have
taken so much notice of her movements
is, doubtless, the very general belief
that she is an innocent woman, the
victim of judge who was a candidate
for the insane asylum at the time that
he presided at her trial. Some of the
ablest lawyers at the English bar have
expressed their. belief in her innocence
Notwithstanding that fact there was
no way in which she could get a re-
hearing of her case and the English
government, for some unaccountable
reason, refused to grant her a par
don.

Word comes from Waukomis, Ok
that the young men of that hustling
village have organized themselves into

populous sections of the neighboring
