taken in behalf Of Mr.. Wise. After
the services had been rendered the
gentleman sent Mr.. Wise the bill
which to some extent staggered him
on account of its size. In sending the
bill the gentleman took occasion te
express bis deep interest In Mr.. Wise
success, and amongst other things
added that whilst he had been a life
long Democrat he had now forever
washed his hands of that party.
In sending him check for the bill
Mr.. Wise wrote: Herein find checl

Two terrible railway accidents have

Two terrible railway accidents have
been recorded in the last week. One
on the B. g. o. near Connelsville, Pa,
the other on the Pere Marquette near
Grand Rapids, Mich. In the former
6s persons were killed and about 20
wounded, In the latter % are already
dead and OF the 38 wounded others
may die. The wreck on the b. q y.
was caused by car load of lumber on
a passing freight train suddenly slip.
ping from the car to the track on
which the passenger train was running.
The other was caused by the high wind
blowing out the signal light. and the
discovery not being made until after
one train had passed. The heart rend
ing stories OF suffering are awful In
the extreme, but the wonder is that
more have not occurred, and do not
occur daily.

party. To them the party Is no more
than garbage, no more than the stick
the fellow used to hit the other fellow.
not caring whether he broke the stick
or not. We call particular and espec-
ial attention to this fact. When the
party, If it is the party they love, could
have been saved in 1856, these persons
and their quondam candidate were
driving their knives into it up to the
hllt. Whyi because they had been
wheedled into the idea that Mckinley
was the true savior Of the country. 1t
10 tiresome to listen to the hurrahs of
those patriots who are always out saw
ing the country. Every four years this
country has to be saved and such
journals as the World and Harper's
Weekly delegate themselves to per-
form the job. Their job of country
saving seems to have been badly per.
formed in 1900. as one Of their agents
seems to have gone wrong, and now be
must be dropped. and that well known
and original savior, the Hon. Grover
Cleveland, must be assigned the job.
Seeing how badly they performed their
work four years ago, what a wrecker
they Entrusted with the helm, we are
free to say that we have lost conf
dsnce in them as choose,s OF states
men, and also In their good faith. We
are free to state that we believe there
is no high patriotic motive behind
any of this Cleveland hurrah. We be.
lieve the dollar which caused him to
desert still figures as the chief motive
with these apparently philanthropic
friends of his. We believe that if
their machinery to grind, the public is
preserved In tact the country may in
the language of their tribe, "be
damned" We believed that MI. Roose.
welt has not given them the rein they
wishes, in fact has pushed them of
the seat and is doing little driving
himself, and thus they have become
angered. We believe they see in

son for pressing him upon the coun.

Democrats believe that as he once
bore that name he still is one Of them,
his past record to the contrary not

which neauseates Democrats. because
they see and know that by it they are
being played for fools, and the average
nan hates to be called fool, he hates
10 be looked on as simple, and In this
instance 1t is apparent that he is re-
sarded lust In that light.
