ESTIMATE OF BAILEY.
A Newspaper Man Sizes Up the Texas
 Senator.

W. D. Curtis in Chicago Record-Herald.
 The finest herse ranch in this local ity belongs to the United States Sen ator Joseph ". Bailey, who calls this his home and has a law office in the main street, though he spends very little of his time here. You can find him at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York or at the Riggs house in Wash ington more often than in Gainesville Bailey came here as young man and began to practice law. There is more or less mystery about his early life He was born In Mississippi and edu- cated at the university of that state It is said that his parents died when he was child and that he was reared by an uncle, who gave him a good start In life, but nobody here seems to know much about him, although every one admires his ability, and his neigh bors consider him the greatest man that ever lived. There is no doubt about Bailey's intellee. or his orator. ica, powers. He is undoubtedly the bet debater on the democratic side of the Senate, ard not more than two or three men on the republican side can stand up with him, but he is Q very poor politician He is proud, re- served and autocratic in his disposi- tion and very poor mixer.
 He is inclined to be eccentric also. One of his peculiarities is that he will never wear the conventional dress suit because, he says, it is a badge of servitude It is the ordinary cos tune of hotel and household servants. He has designed distinctive costume of his own. He invariably wears a long frock coat of black broadcloth, with trousers to match, a waistcoat GU. very low, an expansive plaited shirt bosom, a "sohrt-horned " col lar and a white linen tie, with a black sombrero of pattern that can not be found in ordinary hat stores. TLere is a good deal of curiosity in Washington as to where Bailey gets his hats, because no ono has ever been able to duplicate them. He is clean shaven and scrupulously neat about his person. Formerly he wore his hair long, but since he was elected to the Senate has had it trimmed down to tA, conventional fashion.
 There is a popular impression in Washington that Senator Bailey has become rich by speculation in Texas oil lands, and by the gossips he is numbered among the Senate million aires; but Gainesville people say that is mistake. They do not rate him higher than $10O,000 He inherited very little money. His friends tell me that of late years he has received some large fees TOT legal services for tn, oil spectators and from John H. Kirby of Houston, the lumber king, 10 consolidated the lumber interests of Texas not long ago Bailey is Kir- by's legal adviser, and has received some valuable tips from him for in. vestments.

Not a Revival of chivalry.
London Chronicle.

from the IOndon CnfOn1cue.
 Any one who saw the gallant way in which the greengrocer flung a couples of roses on to the lap of a charming lady who sat on the top of an omnibus that passed his cart in the neighborhood of Kensington the other morning would have hastened to declare that chivalry is not dead in this prosaic age of ours. The lady blushed the greengrocer grinned, and wave of romances seem to have passed over the roof of that omnibus which affected even the early morning crowd that occupied it. Suddenly the driver looked over his shoulder at the favored one Might I trouble you for that rose miss" he remarked. My brother never forgets my little gal at 'ome if I 'appen to pass him on his rounds" Poiteness made him add: Wont ye keep the little 'un. miss?' But the omnibus was distinctly depressed.

A Queer Thing About July.

From the London Chronicle.
 How we came to pronounce July as we do now with the accent on the second syllable Is one of the. unsolved mysteries or speech. Named, of course. after Julius Caesar. it should really be pronounced to rhyme with duty and so our fore fathers actually did pronounce it. Spen- ser, for instance. has the line. "Then came hot July bowling like to fre.' and even so late as Johnsons time the accent was still on the 'Ju." It Is one of the many words which would startle those ancestors of ours spoken as we speak them now

A FADED sgI E.


 One of the most frequentls pa raded issues presente l in al1A casa
 paign of 1904 waas the alleged one of imperialism. The democ- ratio party suffered anosher of it's intermittent and recurrAnt spasms from the dread of monarchy. The country was upon the Merge of the cliff and 1t needed only khe elec- ton of Roosevelt to pusA it off over into the abyss of daspotism. Roosevelt was himself repeatedl y and frequently depicted iu cartoons in democratic journals weaRing an imperial crown and erminA robes of royalty. Newspapea Editorials teemed with frantic appeals to the people to vote against the danger which threateped the republic and the erection of an imperial throne upon its ruins; and tho entire coun- try was oyerrun with spellbindersp making theB same frantic appeal Yet the people needed not their rawlings, and have returned Mr Roosevelt to the White House by tremendous majorities in both the popular and electoral votes

Surely the liberties of the people are dear to them, and they would De quick to detect and prompt to resent any real danger. Why then the appar- ent indifference in the popular mind?

And every great leader who has come to the front as an apostle of natio- nal advancement and progress has been branded as q monarchist in disguise, who was seeking to over turn the liberties of the people.

That was why the so of ten recurrent cry of imperialism was so potent in the early days | of the republic, and why DO pmany of the best measures thats have been adopted for the ben eft of theAmerican people have had to be wrested from the very tee tn of the opposition of the democratic party. It opposed everything 1 not because it was good or bad or indifferent, but because it's adop- ton would give the federal govern ment more power, and in the end it would acquire so much power that despotism would be easy.
 Then So many times has the de- mocratic prediction of despotism proved without foundation that the American people have become indifferent thereto ?--is the natural inquiry. Not exactly The Am erican people have realized that in electric telegraph and steam trans portation they enjoy the use of potent forces unknown at the time of the adoption of the constitution, which enables them to exercise a constant supervision over all the acts and even the very thoughts of their public servants, which would have rendered impossible destrnc- tion of the ancient Grecian and Roman republits, and would have checked that condition which made the rise of Napoleon natural and easy
 in the early days of our own re- public representatives of the peo- pie from New Hampshire or Geor- gin were many days reaching the capital, and their official votes and acts were not known to the people until weeks after their perform ance, while the edicts of the gen. eral governmentwere equally slow and irregular in reaching those to whom was entrusted their execu- tion. Today a representative or senator from California or Oregon is in his seat al Washinaton five days after leaving home, while his vote on all questions is known to his constituents the very day he casts 1t, and frequently they read the words lie has just uttered, upon the floor of the house or senate, in support of or opposition to a pro- posed measure. And the edicts of ! the general government to it's oili- cials on the other side of the globe 1 are received and executed one day I in advance of the dates they bear With the potent forces of modern invention the people can maintain \ the most rigid scrutiny upon alL acts of their public servants. and hold them to the most strict ac- countability-and destruction of the republic, with the necessary sequence, of monarchy, is an utter impossibiIity.
