LAS DISTRACTIONS DE M.
ZANARDELLI.

He aqui a1gunas anecdotas que nos
refere "Gil Bias acerca de M. Zanar-
deli, ell polftico itallano muerto re-
cientemente:
"En 10 fisico-dice- M. Zanardelli

cas-. Una cabeza fna expresiva CO.
ronaba su gran cuerpo delgado, seco Y
encorvado, proyisto de unos brazos lar
gos, 10 mismo que sus piernas Sus
maneras eran vioIentas nerviosas y agi-
tadas. Sin embargo, bajo esa cubierta
ingrata Sc ocultaba un alma fogosa y
un espfritu pujante y l1cido, y 81 tuvo
ciertas debilidades, no por ESQ deio de
estar dotado de un caracter energico y
tenaz.
Su gran defecto eran las constantes
distracciones. Old algunas:
Cierto dia estaba invitado cenar en-
casa de uno de sus amigos durante
toda Ia cena no comic mas que pan, 10
cual no le impidio felici,ar cada mo-
mento Ia sefiora de Ia casa por su
excelente cocina.
Otra vez, recibiendo Ia vista de unoS
recien casados que veri6caban SD viaie

Many Democratic papers have an
argument about as follows: Under 4
new law passed at the extra session
of the Legislature. property is to be
assessed at its salabe value. Farm
ers' holdings viii be assessed twice as
much as now. Therefore, the farmers
taxes will he twice as high as now.
Suppose that properly will be assessed
higher than now. Can not the levy
be lowered? Would the levy be low
cred to correspond With increased as
sessment? Of course it would, and
Democrats know it would. The ar"u-
ment is plainly dishonest. If they
have good cause why is it necessary
10 prop it up with dishonest argument?

We are not surprised to learn that
the Hon. John Basel, of Clarksburg,
is for Roosevelt. Mr.. BASEL was SO
pronounced against Organism and Pop
ulism sinsls96sand 1900, that we would
expect him to be occupying the same
position to-day, the things then threat
ening the business interests of the
country still being in existence. He
saw only recently, as did the entire
country. that Organism was strong
enough to prevent any mention of the
money question at ST. Louis-that the
Democratic party is still dominated
and controlled by the Populists. Mr.
Basel made speech here in SO, when
he advised his Democratic friends
those opposed to Bryanism-not to
throw away their votes on Palmer and
Buckner, but give them to Mckinley
and Hobart, as he intended to do. Mr..
Basel is a lifelong Democrat and be-
longs to a prominent Democratic fam
lily. He is man of influence and
widely known as lawyer of ability.
The fact that he is supporting the Re
publican ticket will cause many of his
friends and admirers to do likewise.

On sunday evening the temperature
dropped so suddenly that people cut
driving We're forced to wrap them
selves i'll laDrObes before they could
reach their homes. On the train COM
ing through Illinois and Indiana the
passengers spread newspapers over
themselves in their berths to keep out
the cold a night. but in spite OF every
precautiOn. shivcrcd and shook and
when PittsburG was reached Mrs. Ear

The cooler weather has made sight
