But Mr. Lands in his entertaining

lican beckoned Lands to come his way.

Still the Republican beckoned, and Ian
dis yielded. Come up into the baggage
car said he, with an air of great Sc
crecy.

Che Republican friend when he and Lam
dis had gone forward, "Well, thems Joe
Horner's. He and his two boys have
been hired to go down into Oklahomy
hunting till after the election"
AS still further illustrating what a
close tab people keep on voting human
ity out in his section of the country. Mr..

what is it. Bill?" said the congress
man to his visitor, who stood in the mid
die of the floor, scratching in a little
memorandum book. There was no an
swer and the question was repeated.
"Oh jest crossing him off the list,
came the reply finally. isn't it a darn
shame? Eli Haskins is dead. and it's only
two months before the election"
Now, if the Republicans feel cock
sure Of sweeping Indiana how does il
happen that all of Mr.. Lands excess
lively humorous anecdotes illustrate
the proposition that the Republican
managers keep such a close tab or
movers and dead men? The theory
of certain victory does not tally Will
that sort of practice. The plain, un
vanished truth is that by claiming
everything Lands ct id genus omne
are whistling in graveyard to keeI
their courage up.

A Senator and a Dog.


The papers devote much valuable
space to the fact that Major General
Charles Dick, Junior United States SEN
ator from Ohio, undertook to separate
two dogs that were fighting at Akron,
o., one being the senator's coach dog
and the other the bull terrier of Neigh
Dor Miller and that both General Dick
and his secretary stood over the dogs
with two revolyers, trying to shoot the
Miller bulldog, but dared not shoot lest
they hit the beloved coach dog. 1t
would have Jared badly with the sella-
torial dog. Notwithstanding the major
general. his secretary and the two
guns, had not Jeffreys, Miller's coach
man, run in and separated the angry
brutes, at the same time shaking his
whip in close and dangerous proximity
to General Dicks proboscis! Query
No. /. Why didn't General Senator
Dick and his secretary separate the
CANNES in the first place? Query No.
2: How can a Junior United States
senator who is also major general
ever look the world in the face after
having a horsewhip shaken in his face
in the presence of the multitude?
To a mere locker on in Yienna-not on
the dog fight aforesaid-it appears that
man who has had such large expert
ence in separating Ohio Republicans
when fighting ought to have known
enough to pull or kick two fighting
dogs apart

The G. o. H. has for fifty years AFRO
gated to itself al purity, sweetness, in
tellieence and patriotism. Innocent peo-
pie who have believed that fable will
be surprised to learn that the RepHb-
lican leaders have formed an alliance
offensive and defensive. with the Nor
mons in order to carry Utah, Idaho
Wyoming and Nevada. OF course they
will deny it, but the press dispatches
give the facts with so much particu-
larity as to persons and things that it
is impossible not to believe there is
some truth III it. Part Of the compact
is that Apostle Reed Smoot is to retain
his seat in the senate There is an old
saving to the effect that where there
is much smoke there must be some
fire" SO thoroughly convinced is Unit
ed States Senator Kearns of Utah of
the partnership between the Republic
ans and the Mormons that he las re
tired from the race for reelection to
the senate and has organized 4 gentle
party Nevertheless the G.. @. l.. will
continue to stand ON the street corners
in public places thanking God that it is
not as other men. No doubt other
men" will also thank God that they are
not as the G. o. II.

AS to the Hawaiian Islands.

When the resolution was pending IN
congress, backed by a strong Hawaiian
lobby, for the annexation of those is
lands any one listening to the speeches
of the anneXationists would have
thought annexation would have made
both Hawaii and the United States
happy forever. Now comes Governor
Carter Of Hawaii and rises to make
the following complaints:
The annexation of the islands to the
United States has not been a commercial;
success so far as the islands are concern
ed. Since we have been United States
territory we have not made great prog
ress. One reason for this is because the
laws by which we are governed are not
suited to the country. For Instance, we
have TO obey the United States land laws
and cannot rent government land for a
period of for more than FIVE years at
time. AS it takes from two to four years
to raise q crop in our climate, we can
not find anybody that Will rent land for
such short period as five years Thus
we are deprived of a big income from
government lands.
Since we have been annexed congress
has never dredged our harbor. 1t is fill
ing up and thus prevents the landing of
the largest vessels. AS a result of this
our traffic is falling off. We have dredg-
ed the harbor at our own expense since
we have been annexed, but unless it is
dredged again we viii lose much of our
traffic
Annexation has cut off all our inter-
national revenue On the other hand,
from Uncle Sans point of view, annexa-
ton has been a decided success Over
Sc, $50 coo has been paid into the United
States treasury from the islands. The
whole cost of annexation was only $4,000.

Since THE Rape of the Lock" there
hasn't anything so exciting appeared
in print as the account of General Dick
chasing that bull terrier whole block
with a revolver in hand and blood in
his eye. If General Dick and Senator
Foraker had had a wool pulling a real
one, not a verbal one--on street cor
ner in Akron it wouldn't have had
more space in the public prints than
the futile attempt of the senatorial
general to shoot his neighbours dog.

Grand Old EIumhug.

Grand Old Hunhua.
The times seem sadly out of joint.
We have been Frequently told by the
editors and spellbinders of the Grand
Old Humbug. alias the G. O. p. that
train robbing was a Democratic spe-
cialty, tolerated only in strong Demo
cratic states. Certainly no man in his
senses viii claim Iowa as a strong
Democratic state Al contraire, she is
probably the most reliable Republican
commonwealth in the Union except
Vermont Nevertheless a train holdup
has just been pulled off in Hawkeye-
dom with great eclat. Coming SO soon
after a similar performance in Illinois
near Chicago. it strikes one th1t train
robbing is becoming the fashion in Re-
publican states. But the high priests
in the G. O. II. will no doubt continue
their ridiculous cant.

Another most convincing evidence of
Republican Harmony spelled with u
big, big Ills afforded in the fact
that the Republicans of the Twelfth

his position as chief justice OF New

He sets his face like flint against the
outrageous habit of abusing public men
which is so popular with the small

should endear him to every decent citi-
zen of the republic without regard to

Rosemount, Esopus. N. Y,
Aug. II, 1904
MY Dear Mr.. Parker-The Times of this
morning says that the party text book is
about prepared and that it will go to the
printer in d few days. Therefore l hasten
to beg you to see to it that there is no
word in it that reflects upon the personal
honor and integrity of President Roose-
welt.
An Evening Post editorial indicates that
but little care was taken in that direction
toward myself by the compiler of the
RepuDllcan text DOCK, put lee there ne no

l feel confident that you need no re-
minder, still my anxiety impels me to
send this caution. Very truly yours,

Those be golden words worthy to be
cherished by the entire American peo-
pie
Surely of all the evil features Of a
political campaign indiscriminate SLAM
der of candidates is the most deplora-
bic. Why should Colonel Roosevelt,
Judge Parker or any other citizen be
abused and maligned simply because
he happens to be nominated for d pub
lie office? Judge Parker did himself
much credit in writing the foregoing
letter, and the country would be better
off-far better-if all candidates and
their supporters would act in the same
spirit
