A great surprise has been sprung
upon the world by Governor William
L. Douglas Of Massachusetts by his
declination to be candidate to sue
coed himself. The announcement is
received with varying emotions. Dem
ocrats regret it; Republicans rejoice al
1t. He evidently believes in letting well
enough alone.

Judicial Wisdom.


What finely patriotic decision was
that of Judge William Jefferson Pol
lard in his Dayton street police court
in st. Louis! Right worthy the name
Of Jefferson 1t was. The story Ia this;
One Paul Baritone was hailed before
Judge Pollard on Memorial day and
flned 500 for threatening two other men
with a revolver Baritone made no
defense, and the fine was announced.
Before he was taken from the court
room Judge Pollard learned that the
row arose because Baritone resented
the claim Of the other men that Russia
could whip our Uncle Samuel and, fur.
ther, that Baritone fought with Schley
at Santiago, That was too much for
the Judge. He called the prisoner back
and RENTED the fine, saying, mo de-
fender Of his country shall 80 to the
workhouse from this court on Memo

as follows:

The converse of that may be put this
way: "Is the tariff bigger than the gov

tn. Kingdom Of Rrownlow.

Congressman W. P. Brownlow Of
Tennessee announces that he desires to
create new state, composed Of the
rough, mountainous and Republican
portions Of Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina and Virginia which adjoin
each other up In the Cumberland noun
tains, Those who have read John
Fox's great story 1.-THE Little Shepherd
Of Kingdom Come" need no introduce
ton to this region, q region much crit
lcised and held up to ridicule, but
which deserves commentator for q
good many things. However, its poll
tics Is not one Of these things. Brown
lows congressional district has some
thing like 10000 Republican majority,
and Gibson'S, also in east Tennessee, Is
almost as upbearable. The mountain
districts of the other three states are
similar. II such thing as the forma-
ton Of this proposed state could come
about Brownlow, one OF the most de-
lightful men in the world, would ro-
tate between the Offices of governor
and senator as long as he lives, for his
popularity in the mountains is im-i
mense,
However, some small difficulties lie
In the way, as only one state. Texas,
has the right under our laws to divide
without the consent Of the general gov
eminent as we'll as the consent Of the
people of the state. But who knows
but what the four states mentioned
would be glad to slice Off the small
mountainous region as contribution
to the new state, and have no doubt
that the present national administra-
ton would be much more pleased to
welcome new Republican state than
to officiate at the birth Of some new
Democratic states in the southwest.
If we can't have a King Brownlow,
we may have state OF Brownlow.
