1t is not infrequent in the nation
al congress that Democrats are seen
voting with Republicans on measures
of considerable Importance. The
same is true as to Republicans found
voting with Democrats. The same
is true also as to legislatures. They
are not to be denounced and con-
demned for this, so long as it does
not affect the party policy or violate
the platforms. on which they were
elected Many measures come up
that neither party have declared
Themselves about. measures of com
mon good. and there is no good rea-
son why. from personal opinion on
the subject. why some Of both parties
may not stand together on them.
For instance, the gas bill in the re-
cent state legislature was conceded
10 be in the line of great benefit to
the people and vet there was nothing
IN either platform pledging the leg
islators for or against it. Why
should some of them not have voted
together and WHY should there have
been objection to Democrats and Re-
nublicnns alike supporting or oppos-
ing the bill? Certainly. they were
not co",mitted to it. nor were they
pledged against it. Instead it cam"
up as an independent measure. and
so far as we see it there was no rea-
son for even an attempt toward in
reference by any official not Of and
a part of the legislature itself. and
men should not be denounced for
voting with Democrats or Democrats
with Republicans. simply becnus"
tho denunciator happens to hold .
different view on the subject.

SANDY BOTTOM

There are few plays that will heAr
repetition. To meet with favor on
the second and third presentation y
play must possess nnquestioned
charm and merit out of the ordinary.
sSandv Bottom" the beautiful pas
ttoral production Of Arkansas village
life seems to have struck a popular
chord. Its success this, its fourth
season has been most pronounced
aud is not difficult to understand.
The play teens with quips of human
nature and one is brought very close
to humanity without its civiizing
thrills, without its passion subdued
by dissemination. with all its faults
and with some few of the vices. The
sentiments are pure, clean and
wholesome. with constant remind
err of boyhood and girlhood days
which, at times, brings just sus-
picion of moisture to the eye.
'Sandv Bottom" will be at attrac-
ton at the Grand Opera House Sat

truthfullv. 1t is not to be laid un
against him by any one that he did
not conscientiously favor the tax re-
form system. 1t is not to be said
of him that he does not honestly be
lieve in it now. He advocated IT
from the start and he still advocates
it. Again, he is not one who would
favor something he believes to be
wrong. Why should he not be the
logical candidate? The new tax
laws are already working out all

Peace Prospects.


st. Petersburg, July 13.-The selec-
ton OF NJ. Wtte as Russis's ranking
peace plenipotentiary in place of NJ.
Murayief, is regarded here as the best
evidence which has yet been given that
the Car is really ready for peace. M.
Whites views favoring an immediate
cessation of hostilities are too well
known to leave any doubt in the minds
of officials here that active steps will be
taken toward bringing the war to a
close, when the peace commissioners
actually get together. In liberal cir
Giles, accordingly, there is the greatest
rejoicing over the selection of the man
who is virtually the leader of the peace
party. This joy, however, is somewhat
alleged by the fact that there is to be
another delay in the convoking of a
national assembly. All Russia has
been looking forward to the promuIga-
ton of the decree calling the assembly
together, as it is believed that something
will really be accomplished, then, toward
securing the reforms which are in such
great demand.
So much is expected of the national
assembly that every delay is regarded
with suspicion. In view of the fact that
so many pOstponements have occurred
since the Gar gave his absolute promise
that an assembly would be called this is
not to be wondered at. Accordingly,
the announcement that there is to be az
other delay has produced anything but
favorable impression.
This time the postponement is to al
low the council ministers to go over the
plans of The commission headed by NJ
Bouligan, the minister of the interior,
which prepared draft Of the proposed
assembly. The scheme is to be carefully
reviewed, it is announced, and it is prob
able that some revision of the plans will
result.
The only hope held out to those who
are building such high hopes on the as
sembly in this new delay is contained in
hint that the purpose of the Bouligan
plans is to really revise the plan for the
assembly, placing it on more liberal
basis

Confession of a Minister.

Rev. A. A. Kelly. pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church at Salem,
w. Va, and statistical secretary of the
West Virginia conference, has with
drawn from the ministry and the church,
and has abandoned his wife and four
small children, leaving for parts I'M
known, because of scandal whicn has
wrecked his family.
The States Industrial School for
Girls is located at Salem, and several
months ago Margaret Evans, enc of the
inmates, was allowed to take employ
ment at tie parsonage as a cook. The
pastors wife soon discovered that her
husband and the Evans girl were un-
duly intimate. She accused Kelly and
he confessed The girl was returned to
the home and the matter was kept quiet
till few days ago, when the girl told
the matron of the school. She sent for
Kelly. who also confessed to her that
he had had improper relations with the
girl. He then turned over bis charge
to the presiding elder, withdrew from
the ministry aud the church, and took
the first train for the West. His wife
and four little ones, all under twelve
years old, have gone to the home of
Kelly's father, near Spencer.

France and England.

Former Foreign Minister Delcasse, in
the course of an interview published by
the Paris Gaulois yesterday on the Brit
ish and French naval amenities at Brest,
was induced to discuss his general poll
CIV relative TO Great Britain and Germa-
ny. He said
"The policy of nations nowadays is
not based on sentiment or antipathy,
but on their material interests. AS be-
tween Germany and Great Britain our
commercial balance shows where out in
terests lie. Britain is our best purchaser
while Germany buys almost nothing OF
us and tries to sell us all she can. More
over it is evident that we could not
leave open irritating controversies with
Great Britain which might precipitate an
armed struggle, for Great Britain holds
indispntably the empire of the seas. For
every warship we tuild she builds four
or FIVE. 1t is therefore we'll to accept
these manifest facts and consider the
value which British cooperation would
give us in certain eyentnalities.
"The greatest intrinsic value of such
cooperation would be the virtual i'm
possibility in which it would place Ger
many of making war on us"
M. Delcasse was asked if he consider
ed the recent menaces in connection with
Morocco as being serious. He replied ::
"Not at all. In case of war Great
Britain would be surely with us against
Germany, and then what would the in
liant feet of Germany amount to? What
would become of her ports, of her COM
merce, of her merchant marine? 1t
would mean humiliation. That is the
real significance of the present exchange
OF visits OF the British and French squad
rons. An understanding between these
two powers and a coalition of their ia
vies would create naval war machine
so powerful that neither Germany nor
any other power would risk conclusions
upon the sea. 1t is the sea which it is
necessary to command today, and the
war in the far East has conclusively dem
onstrated that"

The Warm Wave.

New York, July 13.-Hard showers
this morning failed to check the four
days heat wave, which has settled down
over New York, bringing death aud
prostrations by the score. Three deaths
were reported before ten O'Clock, while
the hospitals we're doing all they could
to handle prostrations. The humidity,
which has caused most of the trouble,
was even greater today than yesterday.
The humidity at eight O'Clock was SO,
which was degree higher than at the
same hour yesterday. There is no relief
in prospect.
B stOn, July l9.-.-There was no dimi-
mutton in the hot wave this morning.
The most that could be said in cxtenua-
ton of the weather, was that the humid
ity was normal. The thermometer start
ed in to race for the top of the glass at
sunrise, and at noon the temperature
here was 80. So long as the wind holds

Foster, in New York, yesterday took
occasion to make sarcastic but just COM
ment on certain phases Of the recent

the crime of Neumer with methods OF
officials high in the Equitable. Judge
Foster said:
Your methods we're very crude and
bungling. If you had, instead of collu-
sion with an outsider, colIuded with an
insider and thereby had your salary
raised to $50, 900 and then divided with
the other man, the result would not
have been more hurlful to pOlicyhoders,
