Remember the times when Dave HUI
and Chnuncey Depew have battled for
supremacy In the state OF New YORK.
for the honor Of tho republic ana the
salvation OF the people? Remember
how New York has been the p,Votal
state in national politics, and how the
patriots revolted when man from pc
yond the Missouri was nominated tor
the presidency? Remember how that
man. by the greatest campaign ever
made in any country. came near wrest-
Ing national control from the shepherds
of the east. and how he would have
won but for the expenditure of mill
ions by the frenzied fianciers? FOR
once they were frenzied In earnest.
Does IL occur now that DepeW ana
Hill, Cleveland and Plat. Belmont and
Rockefeller and all the other pairs
that might be arranged from the re-
publicans and democrats OF prom-
nence In that part Of the country, had
personal reasons for their opposition 10
william j. Bryan and control from ths
west and in accordance with western
ideas Of honestly craftsmanship that
kent the people divided and their at
.tention diverted has been great thihS
for the pirates OF business ana poll
tics. who have built sky-scraper pulld-
inrs In New York for the storage OF the
plumber from their raids.
A FABLE.

A red automobile with brass TRIM
m,npw and a forty-horse power slnei'
met n traction engine plodding along
the road at four-mile -an-hour Hait.
"rll race you to the city" IT snortea
gaily.
IAN right" said the traction engine
puttinp on extra steam pressure Wiuh
a roar the red automobile leaped Tor
ward and was out Of sight IN MN
ute.
The traction engine rolled plach'y
on. In an hour 1t overlook the red au-
tnmobile. which had bursted q tire ana
was standing beside the road undergo
inc repairs. In another hour the trac-
tion engine was a good haR mile IN
the lead.
suddenly the red automobile passed
n with n wi,izz and disappeared over
tho hal, at the rate of sixty 'three miles
an hour
The traction engine rumbled peace
fully along, soaring the wits out OF
what horses had survived Its feocious
neighbor. AT noon 1t passed the au-
tomobile. which was stuck IN Ihuu
hole. Taking drink from a neigh
boring stream, the traction engine
forged to the lead once more
Presently a rumble was heard IN the
distance. Almost instantly the red au-
tomobile passed at awful speed, leav-
ing a cloud of dust and pedestrians In
its wake. "Good-ibye," II cried. This
Is too easy"
All day the traction engine stuck
naanfully to the race and covered as
much as nine miles. Late In the ar
ternoon 1T passed through small VII
lage. The red automobile was stand
ing dejectedly at the police station.
ALIAS" 1t cried, you win the race.
NY master has been arrested for ex-
ceeding the speed limit"
This fable teaches us that the race
is not always to the pneumatic tire;
also that traction engine on the road
Ia worth two automobiles In the mud
puddle; moreover, that haste makes
waste in the shape OF court costs.
