The President and Mr.. Quay.

The text of Mr.. Roosevelt's expression of
sympathy to the family of the late Senator
Quay Is the subject of some warm comment
In anti-Roosevelt circles 1t commits him
we are told, to all for which Mr. Quay
stood. In confessing that Mr. Quay was
his friend and had supported his admin
tration, Mr.. Roosevelt is thought to have
adopted the Quay standards, condoned all
the Quay performances, and become a Quay
disciple. We should hear nothing more from
him on the question of reform, on the
necessity of good government. or the value
of Ideals in public life. Henceforth he
takes his place among the "get there
politicians. eager for spois, indifferent as
to means, and redolent of chicane and
Doodle.
Sngularly enough, this kind of talk comes
from men and newspapers until recently as
full of denunciation of David b. Hill of
Matthew s. Quay. They had for years taunt-
ed Mr.. Hill with all sorts of offensive terms
He was characterized by some a peanut
politician" He was accused by others of
ingra titude and treachery. and still again
of the most reprehensible acts in connec-
ton with election returns. But they are
either silent about him, or very respectfu
toward him, now. They are Parker men,
and realize that Mr. Hin is the leading
spirit of the Parker movement But for
him Judge Parker would be of no force in
the presidential equation. If nominated at
st. Louis. Judge Parker must rely largely
upon Mr.. Hill for election. Does this ex-
plain the changed attitude of these men
toward the sage of Wolfert's Roost? Now
that they are with him and hoping for his
best ticks in Judge Parker's behalf, may
they be accounted as indorsing all that he
has ever done. and particularly those
things which they at one time so roundly
denounced?
1t may not be amiss. either. to recall the
Mr.. Cleveland and Richard Croker after the
Chicago convention in 1892, and especially
after the November election of that year.
They were quite thick. and met at dinner
eaten in celebration of the democratic vic
tory. TammaTy well rewarded in the
distribution of the patronage. Did Mr..
Cleveland by his cordial greeting of Mr..
of favors adopt the Crokerian standards
and condone the Crokerian record? Mr..
Croker's successor in the leadership of
TtmmaEy is urging Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nation a st. Louis
Politics makes strange bedfellows But
there is no need to quote this maxim in
Mr.. RoCsevelts behalf in this instance His
note of sympathy and condolement is not
capable of being distorted into either APP
prova! or disapproval OF the dead mans
political methods.

Disinterested Affection.

When you see little Teller lookin. fondly
at his dad
You know he thinks he's bout the great
est man
That any town in all this glorious country
ever had.
An he's proud to go walkin' han in

There's friends an there is fam'lys sympa-
thizin when you grieye
An ready fur to answer at your call.
But there's somethin' in his manner which
compels you to believe
That the little Teller loves you best of all
An it kind O. makes you feel like bracin
up an jumpin in
An tryin' fur a record in the game.
Cause you know how honestly he is ex
pectin you will win.
An if you donr he'll love you jes' the
same.
An there isn't any thought in him thai
isn't fur your good,
An If at last you're driven to the wall
You know he's goin' to stand by dad, jes
where he's always stood.
Cause the little Teller loves you best OF

Illinois.

The result of the convention at SPRING
| field brings with other things a revival
of the talk of Marshall Field for the demo-
cratic nomination for the vice presidency.
By nominating Mr.. Deneen the republicans
of Illinois. 1T is conceded, have played their
best, and an excellent. card. He is a
strong man in himself. and strong also in
his connections and in the circumstances
of his candidacy. He represents perform
ances in Office, personal popularity, and
ability as politician. Much of the anxiety
which has recently been felt in republican
circles in the state has since Friday dis
appeared. There is less talk now about
Illinois being doubtful state in Novem-
Der.
This talk, however, has been so freely
INDUCED in that the ACCESSIBILITY of their
going to Illinois for a man for second place
on the national ticket has made an i'm
preston on many democrats and it is
again rife. Mr.. Field is a good man. has
had large success in business. stands for
sound money and progress. and is in close
touch with the commercial world. His
nomination, it is suggested, would be a
substantial assurance that the democracy
had returned to what Mr.. Cleveland calls
sanity and conservatism. He is little coy.
cal honors The probability Is that he cares
more for them than he is aware Of and
that If named at st. Louis with enthusiasm
on ticket with man like Judge Parker
and on a platform appealing to his judg-
ment he would accept readily.
But there is the Hearst following in Illi-
nois to be considered. Mr.. Field is not
of their kind. The Hopkins people come
closer to him. But in the great confusion
that prevails out there the Hearstites and
the Hopknsites are pulling together in GER
tain things. They are one in their OPP
position to Carter Harrison and Represents
tive Williams and indications point to their
control of the state convention. If they
act together In the state matter, will there
be the basis for common acton also at st.
Louis? If Mr.. Hopkins is brought to the
support of Mr.. Field for Vice President,
can he succeed in bringing Mr.. Hearst
along with him?
The selection of either Mr.. Cannon or
Mr.. Hit by the republicans for second
place on the ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt
would make an Illinois man rather attrac-
tive at st. Louis. Have the democrats a
stronger in the state than Mr. Field?
If so his name does not suggest itself.

evening a pretty we'll %contented lot
In the afternoon the teams of the
state University and Mitchell Uni.
veIsitv met on the gridiron and it is
the universal opinion that it was the
greatest galLe ver played in the
history of the state. 1t has been a
number OF wears since Mitchell and
Nermillion met i'm any athletic
sports, owing to a misunderstanding
that occurred some wears ago. This
has been happily bridged over.
The first touchdown was made by
Nelmillion Within four minutes after
play began on a tumble of Mitchcll's.
a Nernliilion man got the ball and was
we'll ON his way to the goal before
the bali vas found. Mitchell made
her touchdown in the same hall anG
it was brought about by a series O!
line blicking and end uns. Mitch
eli went against Nernillion' line
steadily and the cases were seldom
where gains We're not made. Mitch
els line was a bard proposition to
buck and times without number Yer
million went against it without
gains. The second half was i~icrcely
contested, and practically all OF the
time the ball was in the center OF
the field.
The score: Nermillion g: Mitchell
u.
The game was played Throughout,
without the least %wrangling between
the teams and 1t will stand for a long
tire to come as one of the hardest
contested in the state.

GOT HIS GOODS BACK
Jrwclrv Stolen From the Ferri.
Drug Store Was Returned
by Chief Davenport.

When his dug store was robbed OF
some watches and j"welly during the
last days ut oll palace week, j.. II.
Ferris little expected to get the
goods back again. He was very hap
PLY surprised, however, when late
Saturday afternoon EN-rhief Daven-
port. OF SiouN City. arrived in
Mitchell with the stolen property
and deli vered it to MI. Ferris. One
OF the surprises to the druggist was
that more property Was brought
back than he knew had been stolen.
He made out a list .Of the stuff Tor
Chief Davenport and sent it to him
at Sioux City.
In conversation with MI. Daven-
port SATURDAY before returning to
SiuuN City on the special excursion
train. he stated that when he left
Mitchell SATURDAY. might OF corn
palace week. after serving faithfully
and YEA as a special detective dur
ing The entire week, he would haNc
the thieves or the goods Inside OF a
month. He vas We'll acquainted
with members OF the gang that
effected the robbery and he went d.
rect to Chicago aud had a conference
with the head push. He coully in
formed them that unless the lewelrY
was returned 1T a certain time to
him that he would proceed against
the fellows. A few days ago NJ
Davenport said that he received one
express package from Chicago and
another from st. Louls.--which con
| tined live watches and eight rings,
the whole amounting to about 5000
in value. 1T was a pretty good piece
of detective work and MI. l)aVen-
port is to be congratulated on his
success. His presence in Mitchell
during corn palace week was d
mighty good preventative in the way
OF robneries, for the g1afters here

them that the first move they made
toward any crooked work they woulc
