Booms in High Keys.

Mr.. Olney's friends at home present him
for consideration presidential quantity
in the following terms.
The democratic state committee of Mas
sachusetts herewith places upon record its
appreciation of the eminent services rem
dered the democratic party and the nation
by Richard Olney. and expresses its firm
conviction that under his leadership in the
coming presidential campaign important
New England States will swing over into
the democratic column. and the national
party viii achieve q sweeping victory
This plainly overshoOts the mark. Mr.
Olney is a strong man. and. as an individ-
uaL is very much respected all over the
country. He might develop we'll as a po-
litical leader. AS the democratic candidat tie
for President he would carry the south. just
anybody else would bearing the party
label. He would run well in trust and rail-
road circles in New York and New Jersey.
His record as Attorney General, which gave
the trusts not a single bad quarter of an
hour, and his record as a railroad attorney
would recommend him In those quarters.
But that he would carry single New Eng
land state. important or unimportant is to
be described in the Vernacular as campaign
CUFF. The extravaganza of the assertion is
calculated to weaken the appeal in Mr..
Olney's behalf. OF all the democratic aspi-
rants he is the weakest at home
Turning to the republican side we find
this same mistake made in the case of Mr..
Hanna. For example. Col. Youngblood.
Lily White leader of Alabama. who is very
much opposed to the President and very
much in favor. of the Ohio senator. says:
81 honestly believe that If Senator Hanna
should be the nominee OF the republican
party he would carry the electoral vote of
my state. This may sound incredible to
many people, but ii is not at all improb-
able"
1t is not only improbable, but absolutely
impossible. No power on earth could trans
fer the vote OF Alabama or any other lower
southern state TO the republican column
this year. Elections down there as between
democrats and republicans are not left to
chance. The democrats always win. Every
thing is creased for the occasion. That Mr.
Hanna is very popular with many southern
republicans is unbeatable. His friends there
would be glad. too, to see him I'm the White
House. But that they have ii in their
power to assist him by so much as a single
electoral vote is of course simply prepos-
ferrous. In this presidential matter. so far
as the lower south is concerned. one repub-
hcan is as strong as another. Which is to
saJ that the republican national convention
could make no nomination which would
have the ghost of a show Yin states where
the dice are loaded against the republicans.
Even booms for office should be pitched
in the persuasive key of probability The
trader who swOre that the horse was six
teen feet high did not effect a sale His
only accomplishment was 10 cripple faith
in his veracity.

The Cadets are busy, as attested by a
case In court the other day. The pool
rooms are tightening their wires and at
tracing a large patronage. But still every
body is nervous Gamblers of all sorts.
dive keepers. patrons and the whole run
of moral vermin are asquirm with appre-
hension that the new mayor really means
what he says In his public utterances.
They know he is personally a very estima-
BILE young man-judged by the standards
of other social circles than their own-and
they have a haunting dread lest he should
actually take it into his head to try to
keep New York decent. If he should do SO
the question next to be answered Is. Can
he carry the game through? The vicious
classes know their strength. They know
doubtless to a dollar the extent of Tam
many's revenue from their ranks for the
purposes of the last campaign. Some have
stated it high half a million dollars.
They have now an organized syndicate
which is regularly paid by the individuals
to keep up the anti-law organization. That
syndicate represents many thousands of
votes, cast in November for the Tammany
ticket. The day of reckoning cannot be
long postponed. especially as some OF the
constituents of the gambling syndicate
threaten to break away from that body
and to go ahead on their own hook. It is
but little comfort to the democratic citizen
who voted for Tammany because of party
regularity but who deplores the prospect
of wide-open town. to reflect that the
tigers troubles may lead to its defeat two
years hence. The gamblers and cadets
are not worrying about what may happen
In November, 1903. They are concerned
about January. 1904. and they propose to
see that something is doing very soon, even
If they have to tell tales out Of school In
order to hurry up results.

experts on this important point.

The Mammoth and the Mosquito

What has come to pass in thousands os
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, wealling in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters OF thousands OF years ago, such as
the MauImohi, and to-day they ARE dead
forever yet the mosquito aud ny have
never been conquered. 1t is row time
for the scientist TO devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and ily so that they will
go to Join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The irosquitoes aud ilics are DAN
gerous enemies Of man because they spread
contagion. Tie mosquito often carries the
germ OF malaria with lin bite. The house,
fly spreads gefius of disease over our food.
These bacterial geruis, ever hunting for
the weak spot, ind place IA our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, eatuirh, con
sumption, or malaria.
Dr.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo N. Y, says: "There
would be no grip epideuics, the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, If the blood
woec pure, if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
SHOULD not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; 10 be safe ii is best 10 take gentle
laxative at least once n week" Such n
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood In order, and MS
tissue-bnilder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs colds, catarrli, grip, nothing will
build one zip quicker than DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Is n med
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,
