A Republicans Dream.

Republican State Chairman Atkins, of
Missouri, tells this story of campaign
er in his state, says the Washington
correspondence of the New York World.
Sam George was the mans name,
and he said he dreamed he died and
went to heaven and that St. Peter
met him at the gate.
What have you been doing late
ly, Sam?" st. Peter asked him.
Campaigning for the Republican
party" he answered.
We'll, come right in," st. Peter told
him. There is only one requirement
we will make of you. You must mount
those stairs leading to the Beautiful
City and with this box of chalk I
give you write on each step the mis-
takes of your party"
Sam George took the chalk and be-
gan the climb. He thought of all the
Republican party had done as he climb
ed, but could think of no mistakes it
had made. He had thought over all
its acts when he had reached within
step or two of the top. He saw a
man coming down again. Looking at
him he saw the man was William Jen-
nings Bryan.
How are you, Mr.. Bryan?" George
said to him. I'm glad to see you
here"
Yes" George says Mr.. Bryan said.
I'm glad to get here where there is
no political strife"
but why are you turning back ?"
George asked him, when all the
others are pushing upward and on
ward"
"Oh. I'm out of chalk" BRYAN
answered, according to Sam George.

At the Race Tracks.

A young woman who frequented the
race tracks was enthusiastic over her
favorite thoroughbred, says the New
York Sun.
She said:
Just see Daisy Dick in the dope.
AT New Orleans they never heard his
hoofs till he was gone, at Sheepshead
he spread-eagled his field and gallop-
ed in with a record, at Gravesend ne
was the main cakewalker in the horse
cotillon. I liked him every time to
the post, but have never bet on him,
owing to inside information which l
was obliged to play because it came
from total strangers. But now l am
wise, for they always touted me on to
dead ones. This time I mean to beat
it,"
Accordingly she called a commission
er and instructed him to bet on Daisy
Dick.
The commissioner was a new
appointee whom she had never seen
before.
He said:
Daisy Dick can't win, ma'am. He
is No. s to-day and he never could
run with that number. Besides, l hear
that the darkey who rubs him down
has lost the official rabbit foot be-
longing to the stable and it is hoodoo-
ed. Moreover, it is rumored that Daisy
Dick has been bit by a spider. Take
my advice and bet on Lively Lou, which
a fortune teller's seventh cousin had a
dream about"
She eagerly did so, and Daisy Dick
romped.
Moral The excitement of horse
racing is due to the information sur
rounding it.

Somewhat Surprising.

JOHN" remarked Mrs. Bifkins, cold
ly, at the breakfast table, according to
the Smart Set, you were saying some
rather queer things in your sleep last
night. You mentioned something
about kittie and a full house and a
showdown and few other things
along that line. What were you talk
ing about?"
Did Mr.. Bifkins tell his wife that
kittie was the name of the woman
who cleaned out the office and that he
was probably dreaming about the full
house down at the show the other
night? The funny papers would have
you believe that he did. But he did
not.
Il was probably dreaming of the
poker game l sat in that night" he
replied without batting an eye. Il
lost $37.15 in that game, by the way,
50 can't let you have that 1888 for
that spring hat for a couple of weeks. -
Did Mrs. Bifkins scream and burst
into tears and call him brute and go
right straight back to her mother ?
The comic writer's and the joke smiths
would have you think she did. But
she didn't.
You must be bum pokerist, john"
she said, scornfully; 81 don't believe
you know straight-up from a four
flush. 1 believe l could give you three
kings and beat you to the jackpot my
self. What did you think you were
doing-digsing post-holes or playing
ping-pong?"

A PoPULIsT TICKET.

The Populist party has not attracted
a great deal of attention during the
last year or two. Its following has
gradually dropped away and returned
to the old parties from which it was
originally recruited. 1t may be doubted
that the strength of the party is now
more than one-fourth what it was in
1896, and much less than in 1900. New
ertheless the information comes from
Washington, on the authority of ex-
Senator Marion Butler of North Caro-
lima, the head of what is left of the
Populist party that the Populists will
hold a national convention in St. Louis
on July 4, at which time a presiden-
tial ticket will be nominated. The
date set is two days in advance of
the time for the holding of the Dem
ocratic National Convention.
What is the purpose of the Popu-
lists? Do they hope to influence the
Democratic convention? On former
| occasion they held their convention
ahead of the Democrats, and nominat-
ed a candidate for President that was
subsequently nominated by the Dem
ocrats. But a similar outcome is
| hardly to be thought of this year.
! Judge Parker is hardly the sort of
man to appeal to Populistic sentiment;
he is too conservative for that party.
| If there were any possibility of the
nomination of Mr.. Hearst by the Dem
| ocratic convention it might be thought
! that the Populists had it in mind to
help along his boom by nominating
him first. But what for convenience
may be called the radical wing of the
Democratic party will not be in control
this year. safe and sane" conserva-
tism will dominate the convention.
There is one point, by the way, that
is worthy of consideration. 1t is that
Chairman Butler is alleged to be now
acting with the Republican party.
Lately he has paid a number of visits
to the White House. His announce
ment that the Populists will hold a
national convention and nominate a
ticket was made Immediately after he
had left the White House some few
days ago. Have Mr.. Butler and the
President a political understanding
with each other? Are leading Repub-
licans boosting along the Populist
party in the hope that it may be the
means of embarrassing the Democrats
at st. Louis? If that is the plan, ii
will doubtless meet with disappoint-
ment. The Democracy this year will
not be led away from its purpose on
any wild goose chase.

SIXTY YEARS OF TELEGRAPHY.

Many newspaper readers OF the
! younger generations Will probably be
somewhat startled upon being told-or
rather reminded, since they must have
seen the date in their school books
that the telegraph is only sixty years
/ old. the first message by magnetic
| telegraph having been transmitted in
! May, 1874. between Baltimore and
/ Washington So common has telegraphy
/ become. reaching into the four corners
of the world with its wires and its
cables and transmitting intelligence al
most instantaneously from one point
to another. that we have ceased to
think of the system as a thing having
age. 1t is here, a part Of the every
day routine of life, and we do not both
er our brains to think back to a time
when it was not here. And yet the
telegraph is no older than many a man
now living in the enjoyment of robust
health and yigor. It is only six years
older than the Morning News, which
in January, 1900 celebrated its 1ftieth
birthday.
Morse's first long distance working
line was about forty miles in length,
between Washington and Baltimore.
Among the first messages transmitted
over it was the announcement Of the
nomination of Henry cay for Presi-
dent by the Wing National Conven-
tion. Last year the two great tele-
graph companies of the United States
owned and had in operation not less
than 700, 600 miles OF wire and cables,
over which more than 100000 mes
sages were transmitted Telegraph
figures for the country are now about
all counted in mill!ons-miles, mes
sages, receipts, expenditures etc. The
telegraph has made a number of mil
lionaires, and is likely TO make more.
Yet Samuel F. 3. Morse offered to sell
his invention TO the government for
a paltry $100 O0O-which offer the gov
eminent declined, as Congress and
the administration doubtless had little
faith in the seemingly preposterous as
sertion that the thing could ever
amount to a great deal
When Morses telegraph was first
publicly demonstrated, it took a let
ter a week or more TO reach Wash
ington from Savannah, and eight or
nine days to make the distance to New
York, even by pony express. Foreign
news was always month or more old
before it was published in this coun-
try. Waterloo had been fought five
weeks before the people in New York
heard Of it, and it took another week
Tor the news to reach Savannah. When
Russia's great battleship, the Petropav-
lovsk, was destroyed in far off Cathay
the other day, the news flew around
the world and to all civilized parts
thereof, and everybody within reach of
a newspaper was informed of the dis
aster within a few hours after it's oc-
currence. The reporting of Waterloo
and Port Arthur may be taken as il
Illustrating the progress that has been
made possible by the growth of our
sixty-year old friend, the telegraph.

nae PREsInENr.s oPPoRTrNITY.

The President is reported TO have
said on one occasion that he would
rather be the governor of the Philip
pines than to be President, because
he would be free TO do about as he
pleased. It is a well known fact that
he dislikes 10 be hampered in any
way when he wants 10 do anything.
II The Senate agrees with the House,
relative 10 the government of the canal
zone on the Isthmus Of Panama, there
viii be one place on the face Of the
globe where he will be able TO gov
ern without having to consult laws
or legislative bodies.
The Senate framed a very elaborate
bill for the government Of the canal
zone, providing for courts, police, san
itary officials and about everything
else which it thought might be neces-
sary for the preserva ton Of health
and order and the administration of
justice on the zone. The House struck
out everything IN the bill except the
enacting clause, and inserted the Sec
ond section of the act of 1903 for the
government Of the territory acquired
under the Tomseaud purchase. Under
that section the President would be
free TO govern the zone as he pleased
The House took the position that 1t
had no information as 10 the require
ments of the zone and that it would
likely make grave mistakes If it fixed
up governmental machinery without it,
II thought that at the next session
more would be known as to the gov
ernmental needs of the zone. Hence
it proposed TO let the President gov
ern il until the end of the present
Congress.
There is no doubt the President
would gladly assume the responsible
ity. He would like nothing better than
TO show the world what he can do in
the way of governing without the aid
Of Congress, courts and politicians.
He isn't the sort of man that Thomas
jefferson who governed the Louisiana
purchase was-he hasn't the same re-
gard for precedents and constitutional
limitations-but it is thought he
couldn't do a great deal of harm dur
ing the remainder of this Congress.
The country needn't be surprised, how
ever, If he should do some things that
Congress would hesitate to do. 1t re-
mains to be seen, however, whether the
Senate is willing to trust him to the
eNrapt that the House Is

When l was courtin Emeline
And was so mortal shy
couldn't muster pluck enough
To tell her of it, why
Fate kindly took the matter up;
And comm home from church,
Fate made old Dobbin run away,
Made my old buggy lurch,
Piled both of US out in the road
My sweetheart in swoon,
Me huggin' her with lovin' arms
Beneath the harvest moon.
And as old Dobbin disappeared
l blessed his timely faults,
While l revived my Emeline
With good old smelling salts.
But now, when the shy lover goes
A-courtin', why he rides
In a big automobile which
Like some ghost wagon glides;
But still old Fate gets in her work:
And often there's a smash
That throws two shy but yearnin
hearts
Together with a crash
She, white an still an angel-like,
A-layin' in a swoon;
Him huggin' her with lovin' arms
Beneath the harvest moon.
No very great big difference,
So far as l have SEEM
Where 1 revived with smellin salts
HE uses gasoline.

An Unusual Question.

Mrs. Leslie NJ. Shaw, with her
daughters, Miss Erma and Miss Enid
visited San Francisco last month, and
many social functions were given
there in honor of the Secretary of
the Treasury's family, says the New
Orleans State.
At a tea one afternoon, Mrs. Shaw,
smiling toward her daughters, said:
When Enid was or years old
she used to repeat at night the little
prayer, Now l lay me.
Il suppose that millions of children
have said Now l lay me- millions OF
times, but 1 doubt if the simple and
charming words of the prayer ever
suggested a question so unusual as
they did to Enid.
"She one night repeated the prayer
reverently and then asked me, with
a puzzled frown:
Mother, if / should die before !
wake. how would 1 know l was
dead?' -

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Galveston News Dem.) says:
Mr.. Williams, the Democratic leader
of the House, with his able assistants,
succeeded in saddling the pension steal
under an executive order squarely upon
the Republican party. The Grand Old
Party now stands committed to this
desperate method of raising funds
More than this, the Democrats in Con-
gress succeeded in making the Repub-
licans admit as plainly as any unwill-
ing confession could be made that the
order was unlawful"
The Houston Post Oem.) says:
Judge Parker can win. He will easily
defeat Roosevelt in New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut. Maryland and
West Virginia. Rhode Island and Del
aware will probably line up in the
Democratic column. Massachusetts
can be won over. Indiana and Illinois
are good fighting ground, and Iowa
and Nebraska are possible. No other
candidate is so strong in the East and
Middle West, and none is so free from
factional opposition. ST. Louis VIII
ratify the nomination. 1t ought to
be made unanimous"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
1.-The development of the mineral re-
sources of the Southern states in the
past twenty-five years constitutes a
record which has never before been
equaled by any section of the globe,
and which reads like a miracle. Be
tween 1850 and 1902 the value of the
mineral products of sixteen states
classed as Southern increased from
$35, 416, 7S7 to 1855, 225, 1928, nearly seven
fold. In other branches of industry,
chiefly in textile manufacturing and
in the manufactures of wood, the rec
ord of growth, while not so large in
value, has been larger even in per-
