A Senator's Retort.

Senator La Toilette addressed 6
large gathering in Milwaukee some
years ago, at which there was present
disturbing and antagonistic element
As the meeting progressed the unru!y
ones were subdued by diverse and
forceful methods, and quiet soon
reigned. The orator had the attention
and held it spellbound. Suddenly there
emanated from the upper gallery a
doleful and prolonged "moo.' This
was followed by moo" pitched in a
higher key and issued from the crowd
ed balcony
The resulting merriment interrupted
La Toilette, and he generously per-
mitted the audience to enjoy the incl
dent.
When the laughter had subsidized the
senator stepped to the edge of the
stage, softened his voice, and threw
his hearers into an uncomfortable hy-
steria by saying:
"a calf has become separated from
his mother. VIII the ushers kindly re-
lieve the distressed parent by restoring
her child?'

Whose Say-so IS Best !?

With nearly all medicines put 10 for

the makers say-so alone as to their cura-

accordinglyis not to be given the same
credit as II written from dIsinterested
motives. DIR. Pierce's medicines, how

In his speech in Iowa denouncing
Governor Cummins and the idea of
tariff revision, Secretary Shaw said
that he was authorized to speak for
the national administra ton BY this
presumably the secretary of the treas :
ury meant that he was speaking on be-
half Of President boston
Globe.
The most careful examination of the
constitution of the United States will
not reveal any authority for admins
tration interference in the choice of a
governor or a candidate for governor
of state. This is as true of factional
as of party contests. BY the spirit of
national governments government Of
limited powers and having no more
right to encroach on the powers not
delegated to it than state has to butt
into the national executives sphere of
authority-the states are, and of right
ought to be, exempt and immune from
what Secretary Shaw says he is au-
thorized to do in Iowa. The president,
the administration, is for the people
of the United States, utterly regardless
of parties and factions. An admins
tration holds on to office for a fixed
term its tenure not to be affected in
the slightest degree by an overwhelm-
ing condemnation in the middle of that
term, of the party whose name it bears,
If it be true that Secretary Shaw Is
authorized to declare for Perkins as

Increasing value Of fresh beef exports
