business and let the country go straight to the demnitIon bow-wows, as of course it would have to.--Brook- lyn Eagle.
 The lesson is plain. If the demo- cratic party is to win it must be thor. oughly and completely democratic-as it was in Jefferson's day, in Jackson's day, in Tilden's day, in Cleyeland's day. The results of Tuesday show that it cannot win if it is half demo- cratic and half populist. 1t cannot sur- vive at all if in it's leadership it is to be half populist and half socialist New York World.
 One of the most remarkable demo cratic yote-getters in these parts is Congressman Granger of Rhode Island, who was reelected, Tuesday, in dis. trict that gave the president an over- wheIming plurality. The republicans, realizing MT Changers personal strength with the voters, inducedy Chief Justice Stiness to resign from the bench to run against lhin. The con gressman lives ill Providence, and since he entered politics ten years ago he has never been defeated, although he has at various times been q candi- dslte for mayor as we'll as for congress. Springfield Republican.
 Win Stratton. who probably made naore money out of Cripple Creek than any other man, died two or three years ago. His money made him miserable. He was unhappy in his family, he got a divorce from his wife, whom every body says was ! good, true woman, and the best friend he ever had; he disowned his own son, and in his will left the boy only $o0,000. By the ac, vice of friends. young Stratton made contest and finally settled for S65,- GOO. The lawyers got as much more for their services, and the people of Colorado Springs say they will get the biggest part of the estate before they are done with it.

Election is over and what's done can't be undone, but we want our read CTS to keep their eyes open and watch for results. This week the publishers of one of the best known magazines in the country have announced that the price OF their publication goes from 10 to 10 cents a copy. The raw material has advanced and the readers must pay the difference, the q democrats and republicans alike. In this connec- ton it Is said that every miller in the country is out for free trade in their particular line of business, and yet they voted for protection and the trusts. Why. we ask, is it possible for Miller Jones to sell flour in England for dollar or two a barrel less than he dare sell it to his neighboTs, or to you or me? Ask the trusts. They want the difference.

General Methuen's excited dispatch from the field at Magersfontein, in
 South Africa, that he had, fought the
 bioodiest battle of modern times,' 7 earned for him no end of ridicule. Rus sian and Japanese generals are at least modest in their reports and show no disposition to boast Of record mak- ing feats. It is easy to exaggerate the terrors of battle, for as rule a1ly de- scription, by participant or spectator, can only refer to a portion of the field. It is likewise natural that figures ol losses may be exaggerated through carelessness, haste or the zeal of under officers and even of enlisted men who have responsibility in the work of gathering and burying the dead.

He says: Two and q half years ago began to have stomach trouble, for gas and sourness would form after eating. Often 1t would be impossible to keep anything on my stomach, as it would cause vomiting.

A PERFECT MAN.

Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest
President that we have ever had, one
of the finest men the country has
ever known, man without bad
trait"
This is the first hand estimate of
the man in power by that uncon-
scious humorist, Henry Cabot
Lodge. 1t leaves no room for
doubt. 1t is the final word on the
much mooted subject. Had any
one bat Lodge INDUCED in these
superlatives we would have re-
NAMED unconvinced, but incre-
duty is overthrow by the poten-
TALLY of the speaker and reason
hides her head when confronted
by the unanswerable dictim of so
exalted an authority. When Lodge
has spoken there is no appeal. He
is the quintessence of concentrated
intellectually, the Ultima Thule
of wisdom, the Valhalla of omnis-
cience.
To those who are ignorant we
will say that Lodge is not given
to the use of adjectives. His mind
is without imagination and his
thoughts without fancy. Cold,
calculating, hard headed, preju-
diced and yindictive, utterly un-
able to see any good in us or in
what we of the South have done.
he is the very sort Of a man most
capable of measuring the charac-
ter of his college-mate. They are

President as the President think:
of himself. Both have written 9
good deal about their country, and
both have slandered the South.
Lodge with his force bill was not
more Objectionable to us than
Roosevelt and his policy of coer-
cion. Both are scholars in politics
and both have a contempt for the
law and for the common people
who constitute the bone and sinew
of our citizenry. Roosevelt's ideas
are a policeman and the un.
civilized wild man of the plains.
Lodge has no ideas save me 'and
Theodore"
The man who bases his claim for
distinction in literature upon a
life of Washington is exactly the
proper man to minimize the per-
sonal and political worth of the
most undemocratic President the
Republic has ever had. We are
surprised that Lodge could have
rested content with the terms
''oreatest." "fnest," and "fault-
less" He should have remarked
upon his friends pulchritude, his
chivalry, his athleticism, his ability
to raise chickens and his eloquence
as poet. In musing over this
we had forgotten that Jake Riis
had enumerated all of the virtues
of this American Admiral erich
ton except one and set up for his
claims to nearly all the excellence
to be found in all men. Theodore
swears a big round oath on occa-
sion, and we will vouch for his
artistry in this science. AS a
swearer he is without a rival, and
even Lodge could not find the word
by which to designate this enyi-
able trait. Washington and jack
son and Grant were good traffick-
ers in oaths, but they couldn't
hold candle beside Theodore

Upon the resolutions at the
State Institute here last week, the
following comment pertinent to
the subject was indicted by one
of the teachers:
Last week a set of resolutions bear
ing upon State support of schools was
submitted to the vote of the teachers
and most enthusiastically carried. A
copy of these resolutions was published
and it will be seen that they are de-
signed to obtain from the State larger
appropriations for both public schools
and higher education. 1t is a humili-
ating fact that, with one exception,
our State has contributed nothing to
her university during It's entire histo-
ry. When we remember that many
other Southern States appropriate an
nually large sums to higher education,
and that the State of Missouri gives to
her university alone $500, 900 a year, |
think some of US will begin to regret
with deepest shame this lack of the
proper spirit on the part Of our Vol
unteer State. Those States that
stand squarely in front in this matter
of education and that are genuinely
in earnest about the proper training
of their children begin by furnishing
capable teachers for these children;
and for the making of these capable
teachers, free normal schools are a me-
cessity. When our State shall have
advanced to the point where she ex-
tends free instruction of this kind,
then things will be as they should.
BY the time our State lawmakers be-
come fully acquainted with the feel
ings of the teachers on this subject of
school legislation, and especially with
the volume of this feeling, they will
realize that they are being called upon
to reckon with newly-risen power.

The editors, publishers and
printers of The Commercial take
pleasure in saying that they have
been placed under very agreeable
and lasting obligations to the
cousins" for their entertainment
and hospitality at Rock Spring
last Friday. 1t was a genuine
treat. The weather was a trifle
warm, but what is summer day
in the shade without the warm sun
shine. On the way we we're es-
corted by the tribe of the tent of
Gypsy, Topsy, Bildad and Old
Rusti. John Barleycorn was in
advance as forerunner to prepare
the way, and when we reached the
spring there were p. H. o., Vic
let, Young Rusti, Mr.. Turner, the
photographer, and host of good
friends to greet us. The spring is
reached by travelling west from
town over the Dallas hill about
seven miles. 1t runs from the foot
of a steep hill under the shade of
some tall oaks and spreading
beeches and empties into a small
brooklet streaming down the
shaded hollow. With this envi-
ronment the cousins enjoyed a days
outing. After little relaxation

and a few preliminary skirmishes
dinner was announced, and when
the picnickers assembled around
the spread the photographer
turned his lens upon US and fired.
Did we have a good dinner! Did
you ever see a long, lank, or a fat,
lazy newspaper man eatl If not,
we would advise you to attend a
press meeting or publishers pic
mic. 1t is an opportunity worth
the trouble of visit. On this oc
easion the cousins gave us a royal
dinner and everyone enjoyed it
thoroughly. After dinner the
crowd scattered over the hills,
some around the music of the VIC
lin and guitar players, and others
in buggies, swings and hammocks.
Some pretty young lassles were
there with their beaux. In this
way we spent the day at Rock
Spring. 1t was a rare treat in
deed, and we wish to take this ad-
vantage of an opportunity to bow
in grateful acknowledgements and
sincere thanks, especially to those
who had gone before general leave
taking and to each aud every one
who participated in the picnic. 1t
was a bright and beautiful oasis on
the plain of an editors prosaic
life. May the big, whole-souIed
John Barleycorn and all the kind
hearted cousins enjoy a harvest of
blessings as long as there is life.

Annoying Gaps In English Language
That Cause Inconvenience

Annoying Gaps In English Language
THAT Cause Inconvenience.
The English language may fairly
claim to be the most prolific in the
world. Not content with its native
riches. it possesses in special degree
the faculty of assimilating everything
useful from other tongues, ancient and
moderu. 1t ought indeed to be the
most perfect vehicle of thought in the
world, and in some respects no doubt
it is.
But, curiously enough, there are de-
fciencies in English not to be found nj
far less copious languages. While III
many cases we have half a dozen
words expressing the same or prac-
tically the same thing, there are, on
the other hand, certain ideas that have
no appropriate words to express them
In the words denoting relationship
some notable gaps are found. The
most glaring instance is the want of
word to distinguish between male
and female cousin. Other languages,
such as French and Italian, have sep
arate word for each, but in English
some addition or explanation is re-
Quired in order to make it clear which
sex is intended.
Curious gaps occur here and there in
our language if we look into it, The
word show" expresses the idea of
making to see, but there is no word for
making to hear-a photograph, for ex-
ample. Il took the photograph to my
friend and What? Got him to
listen to it, would probably be the in
elegant finish to the sentence.
On the other hand, audience" means
those who hear and applies very well
10 those present in a lecture hall or con-
cert room But what of those who see
a cricket match, for instance? Spec
tators" is the nearest word, but it does
not correspond exactly to audience"
