If, as now seems likely, the ST.
Louis convention is to indorse the
last two Democratic national plat
forms, there is but one logical candi-
date William Jennings Bryan, and
apparently it is Bryan or bolt.
Il have not yet pawned my over
coat, says Sully, the dethroned
cotton king. But haven't his vic
Tins made the acquaintance of My
Uncle? In hook signo vincit.
Why does not the Democratic
convention put forth Confederate
veteran for president? Is it a crime
to be born in the South? What is
the matter with Senator Cockrell
of Missouri BRIG. Gen. G. S. Al,
and successor IN the Senate of Carl
Schurz? He is called 'The Wise
Man" by his colleagues. There is
German, of course, but he distinctly
Stunned service, preferring clerk
ship throughout the Civil War.
And now he has helped Maryland
to violate the Constitution in
DISTINGUISHING the negroes. No,
give us the genuine article.
The trial of Judge Swayne ought
not to be avoided by abolishing
his Office. That is not brave, or
just. Moreover, an impeachment
with the house prosecuting and
the senate sitting as judges would
be an educational novelty to the
present generation of Americans.
Senator Bard of California wants
Congress to offer a large prize and
large annual salary to the best
weather prophet in the United
States, to be settled by competitive
predictions for thirty days. If the
bill passes, the guessing-bee will
begin at New Years. The present
Weather Bureau is regarded by
Congress as being a monumental
failure, although it can generally
foretell what the weather was
yesterday, or even the day before.
Secretary Taft has a wealthy
brother who is an art collector and
connoisseur. He recently purch-
ased Corot lie Soir', for SIS, 900,
and Diaz, Autumn Forest of
FontaiLebleu", for $685. The
former sum is a good deal to pay
for one evenings entertainment,
and the latter would have purchased
an immense bona fide forest.
The war has stopped all dancing
in Russia. They are inclined to
make the japanese do the dancing.
Judge Parker of New York is
far in the lead of Democratic presi-
Dental candidates with members of
Congress. But his chances of lead
ing them to victory may be said to
be small.
Vermont towns are enforcing
their no-license laws since maple
sap has started. vermont men,
women, maple-sugar and horses;
the first are strong, the last are
fleet, the second and third are ex-
ceedingly sweet, and all are very
hard to beat" as Sake said.
There is something awful in the
fact that the very day William
Randolph Hearsts new paper made
it's appearance in Boston, a severe
earthquake shook up all New
England. Whether Olney brought
about the profane coincidence, is
not known.
In his letter to the Chicago IN
iversity, on the occasion of it's
fiftieth convocation, the president
wrote very felicitious letter of
congratulation, and paid the Ger
mans in this country a high COM
pliment for showing the Americans,
1.-The power of joyous living" and
the ''gain to the higher life" which
comes from liberal education.
The conviction of Senator Burton
of Kansas charged with being en-
ployed to represent a st. Louis
