Rushinq THINGS Presidential.

More than once in these letters no
tice has been made Of the unusual &C
tiyity among Republican aspirants for
the presidency To read of their swing
ing around the circle. speechifyinS,
handShaking, etc, one would naturally
conclude that this is the year next be-
fore presidential election rather than
the year next after one. The early
bird catches the worm so we are told.
! We might also take the converse Of
TINT proverb and reflect somewhat Oh
the proposition that it is the early
worm which is caught. But this early
bird business in matters presidential
is not confined to ambitious Republic
ans. 1t seems to be catching like small
pox, measles and itch. Democratic
statesmen are beginning to take no.
tice." Now come certain Democrats of
Chicago and organize themselves into

purpose of boosting the new mayor Of
Chicago into the White House. This is
d free country, and any set Of citizens
have an indefeasible right to boom
any man they please for the presidency
or any other office, great or small, at
any time that seems to them good and
proper. So let the merry dance pro-
coed. Still, few words may not be
inapropos. Mayor Dunno is no doubt
a most estimable gentleman. He made
a great race for mayor and achieved
splendid victory. Democrats every
where wish him well, but his fitness
and availability as presidential guam
tity are to be determined not so much
by his majority for mayor as by the
manner In which he discharges the
onerous, important and multifarious
duties of that great office Within the
recollection of all a man so deported
himself as mayor Of much smaller
city than Chicago In such way as to
make him governor of the most popu-
lous and wealthy state in the Union
and In due time he became president
Of the United States. II Mayor Dunno
makes great mayor, he may skip the

left the Democrats and joined the Re
publicans. From those occurrences the
CD. concbllcs that young men grll-
orally are Joining or going to join the
G. 0. P. 1t is too Lasty in its concur
sions. 1t undertakes to de4!uce a gem
eral rule fr<4n too few instances. which
is violative Of the Baconian rule Of
reasoning What it should conclude Is
that cabinet office IS a great tcMpta-
ton to an ambitious young man,
whether he be a Democrat or RcpuD-
lican, and that few perhaps could with
stand it; but there are only nine
cabinet positions with which to reward
deserters from the Democratic party,
even if they were all so bestowed.
But can the president keep on giving
cabinet and other high places to new
converts without designating the vet
Grams Of his party, the men who have
borne the heat and burden of the day?
Hardly. But while the CD. is men
tioning distinguished converts, why,
oh, why did it omit that ilustrous
renegade Lyman J. Gage, who in 1896
rated to the Republicans to get the
treasury portfolio, and who got it, and
who is now receiving princely salary
for getting it and for favoring certain
interests while he had it? Such
bright and shining light as Lyman
DNhouId not be hidden under bushel
when a list is being made up of those
ex-Democrats who made good with the
Republicans before they were dry be-
hind the ears. He is the bellwether os
sthe whole gang.
How can the CD. honestly claim
that the Republican party is especial
ly strong with young men, drawing
them all to itself, when such young
men as Charles A. Towne, George
Turner and Webster Davis voluntarily
leave the G. O. p to cast their for
tunes with the Democracy? Also Fred
T. Dubois should be counted in. He
was United States senator when he
quit the party Of special privilege.
Towne was a popular Republican con-
gresham. Davis had been assistant
secretary of the interior. Any of the
four was more prominent and had a
brighter future with Republicans than
Morton or Bonaparte or Gage had with
Democrats. What's more, when man
leaves a majority party to take mem
bership in a minority party he gives
stronger proofs Of sincerity than when
he reverses that process.
The CD. winds up it's self congratu-
latory address with this nice compli-
ment to the G. o. P: Here is one of
the secrets of its power. 1t draws to
its fold the best of the members Of
other parties and retains them" Yes
ssthe best" No doubt the gang Of Re
publican thieves who have been pun
dering Philadelphia for years are 1.-The
best" The Republican land thieves OF
Oregon are 1.-The best" The Repub-
l;can band of marauders at Minneap-
oils are 1.-THE best" No doubt!

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 it was. The story is this:
One Paul Baritone was hailed before
Judge Pollard on Memorial day and
fined 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
Their. that Baritone fought with Schlev
at Santiago. That was too much for
the judge. He called the prisoner back
and RENTED the fine. saying. 40 de-
