HEARsT's LOST GROUND.
CrOkers Telegram Had Effect Against
 Him in Tammany.

New York Special.
 -. The Croker cabiegrams have been widely discussed in Democratic circles MT. Murphy continues to assert that he learned regularity while district leader under MT: Croker. and that than the ex-boss. He gave out a statement today which might be con ;I gtrued as threat against members of week But under the surface there are strong indications that neither he his lleutenants nor the organization as d whole will shed any tears if Mir
 Tammany may not work against that candidate on election day. but so far there is no reason to change the opin- ion expressed last night that it will not break its neck working for him.
 Albert Dulin, who is at the head of the organization said to represent the pro. Bryan and anti-Hearst Democracy the field in opposition to the indepen- dence league ue-Democratic candidate, said this afternon that in his opinion Hughes would be elected by an over whelming plurality.
 The managers of the socialistic tick ct assert that they will poll larger tnaily proves to % be the a', "ase , 'itS t wi aHI wifi come from MT Mr. Hearst's s foiIoWing iE%E1g rather than from MT. Hughes's.
 For the first time sine" the cam pagn opened. Chairman Woodruff of the Republican State committee to- night predicted that Mir. Hughes would be elected. He declined to give any figures, but said that the Repub- lcan plurality would be so large that there would be no possible justifica- ton of charges of fraud, intimidation or illegality on the part of MT, Hearst.
 The World today asserts that MT. Hearst is breaking down physically. At the last of his meetings last night, according to this authority. he re- pea atedly put his handkerchief to his lips and brought it away stained with blood
 All of the papers except those owned hv MT. Hearst incline to the opinion ! that the election of MT.

SPINNING UP THE CASE.

In his Louisville speech few days ago John Sharp Williams thus sizeu up the political outlook
 Now. my friends. the time is com fnx and it is coming sooner than you exnect, when all people in politics Tn this country will be divided into two great camps, antagonistic and con Tending, the one with the other one will he the camp of old Jenersonlah Democrats who believe that govern pnent is a fence around the people 5 rron of right. the right to liberty and life and the pursuit of happiness; that ii is a fence to keep men or III mlnu' whether they be individuals or corpor- ations, from tresspassing; that the business of the government IS psnns oo r from injuring their neighbors, and to leave men, as Thomas Jefferson says otherwise free to pursue thelr own enterprises and occupations
 "There will be old fashioned Jener- sonian Democrats on one side. and on the other side will be the men who believe in a paternalistic. strongly centralized State socialistic scheme. vshere the government is constantly putting itself forward in a paternai manner to help the citizen and to heip everything on in proper manner. More and more power to the govern ment! Did you ever think of this! Jt is one of the strangest paradoxes of political psychology. the very men that have lost confidence in you, ana don't believe you can carry on .your private business without govern mental guardianship. the very men tea want to add more and more 10 the mower of the government, forgetting that government Is always composed of a man or some men.

AND HE WAS A MULE.
Tho Charleston News and Courie gives us this one:

Tho Charleston News and Courier gives us this one:
 n, on Once we oi knew . , a man who bought a wouldn't pull. and fodder didn't agree with him. His new master changed his name to 'Sham." and for thirty made twenty bales of cotton a year, finally brea king through a barbed wire fence by night and killing himself by eating too many green peavines.
 Well, there was nothing surprising about that. Ot course a mule bearing such an aristocratic name as that would not work. Can we even imagine that a mule named Boni de Castelane. for example. would degrade his title and possibly his ancestry. by engaging in the plebian occupation of pulling a blow? Not on your life he wouldn't. AS The Columbia State sees it. there is one thing that the mule knows how to do better than any other; this is. to he care of himself He is temperate, discreet, sensible, and, above all, never allows himself to get excited. When you read of a mules running away or of his kicking his owner inis the ad . joining county, you may know that the deed was done deliberately and with out particle of excitement; 1t was nothing but the deliberate execution of deliberate plan. And So it is in talk ing care of himself: he looks before he leaps. To assert that a mule has no hot
 death on green peavines is a calumny of the worst sort. A foolish horse might do this. but never mule If a horse by any mischance succeeds in getting into the 'cornhouse" he will eat until he is doubled up with the stom- pretty quickly the result may be se- rious. In a similar situation, the mule with characteristic restraint will eat only so much as is good for him."
 Of course a mule knows how to take care of himself and he is going to do it, equally good at living up to his repu- tation. While this animal or which The News and Courier speaks was living under such name and title as that of Compte de Rochdmbeau he felt him self lifted immeasurcably above the rest of the brute family and would have died at the stake before pulling at the traces. Neither do we believe that hunger could have driven him to such common food as peavines, if his life depended on it. When such a coN- mon name as sham" was unloaded on him he decided that degradation had for him no deeper depths and he set himself to live up to his fate, winding up by committing suicide on green pea vines as the culmination of humiliation 1 Such are mules.

NATIONAL REJOICING.
Pcary's Achievement Subject of Con
 ment in New York.

Pcary's Achievement Subject of Com.
 ment in New York.
 New York; Nov. 3.-Although Com mander Robert E. Peary. who was heard from last night after his long sojourn in the frozen north, failed to reach the North Pole, Secretary Housert T. Bridgeman of the Peary Arctic Cub believes that his feat in reaching fur ther north ought to he subject for national rejoiicng.
 Mir. Bridgeman. who received the message from Commander Peary an- nouncing the latters return to civili- zation, telephoned the news of Peary's safety to Mrs. Peary, who happened to be in the city.
 Thank God he is safe.' was her first comment, and then she piled Mir. Bridgeman with questions regarding the details of the news he had re- ceived from her husband.
 Mr. Bridgeman told her that her hus- band, while he had failed to reach the police, because of drifting ice, had now the distinction of having gone furthrz est north, reaching S7 degrees, min. utes, a point 32 minutes nearer to the pole than that reached by the Duke of Abruzzi expedition in 1900
 T am very glad my husband is com ing so soon and that he has heen so successful" Mrs. Peary then said.
 'In discussing Pearys dash late last night, after he had had time to study the commanders message more close ly, MT. Bridgeman said:
 commander Peary's achievement ought to be a subject for national re- ioIcing, for I am sure 1t has been the ambition of every true American to see the stars and stripes first at the Arctic pole. And that it should be an American to reach the furtherest IS but less gratifying.
 "Peary started out with the deter imitation to reach the pole at all haz- ards and 1t is certain that only the i'm possible prevented that.
 Tt is evident Peary has had the same experience of getting on drift ing ic and being carried away from his goal that other explorers have had. Probably no other man living would have got off so well as Peary has. He found himself on ice that had been broken up by a storm and taking him in a contrary direction.
 Tt is likely that he and his party went to the Himit of human endurance before they give up. as instanced Tn the eating of the dogs. without douot the explorer is now on his way home and when he reaches here we Will har a wonderful story.
 twill Peary ever make the attempt again?"
 1T don't know. Although 1t was said by the newspapers hen he sal ed that if he failed this time he would never try again. he never told me that and was quite close to n-m The commander will undoubtedly prlns hack with him a wealth of scientific and geographical matter. I consider that one of the wonderful features of this expedition is the fact thai roosevelt is coming home with the entire party, despite the hardships they have experienced. .
 "Peary probably reached within z9S miles of the North pole. He surpass- ed the d'Abruzzi part by bout thlfty miles," . |,
 This was Peary's fifth attempt to reach the pole. The other sltdge jour news were made in 1892, iS99' lsop and 1903 ..: =.

Indulging in speculative argumenta

Indulging in speculative argumenta- tion. The Boston Transcript srpposes that Senegambia shall become sop arate and indepenjelt power entitled to be represented at the courts of all other powers. Then suppose 1t sends as its representative to the United States black, ky-headed Minister, The Transcript says:
 Given such Senegambia would not Washington regard the color of Sene- gambia's representative as not to be counted against him, as socially ncgli- gible? Would it not think his kinky hair and thick lips not offensive. but piQuant? When the Crown Prince of Senegambia lunched at the White House you'd the South have editorial spasms Certainly not. The status of the Sene- gambians resident in the United States would be on the basis of the most fla yored nation. If color prejudice should be directed against them. the United States would promptly go into court to assert their rights under its treaty with his majesty the Emperor of Sen egambia, and the Department of State and Justice would get busy all along the line.
 Well, if Washington likes that sort of thing. that is the sort of thing Washington will like, don't you see? If all the dusky nations of the earth send representatives to this country, and Washington. from Roosevelt down, wants to take them to it's bosom and indulge in their fragrance. we see no need Of any spasms down this way.

Vast Water Powers.


 To its coal supply, more than twice as great as the combined coal area of Great Britain, Germany and Pennsyl- vania. to it's vast stores of oil and natural gas as supplementary sources of nower and heat and light, the South adds at least 3,O0O,000 available horse mower of water-powers for utilization for electrical transmission. also for power. heat and light. The develop ment of this vast water-poWer poten- tlality will eventually employ s25O,- 0O0. .O0o to $500, 100000 and be equal in working capacity to 6,000,000 men. It will make possible construction of thousands of miles of interurban cleo tric roads, it will furnish cheap power and light for mines and factories, and create, as in Switzerland, the high est forms of skilled mechanical work in the mountains of the South, where climatic conditions are unsurpassed by any other section of the world. In counting up the riches of the South always bear in mind its wealth of ever running streams, where nature fur nishes the power without price except for the cost of development.

A BAD EXAMPLE.

The staid old Connecticut town of Hartford had a genuine sensation the other day. It was not an earthquake merely the arrest of a drunken woman on the street. But that was not the worst of it. for she had s1,191 in cold cash in her clothing when arrested That seems to have been the most sen- sational feature of the affair. evident- ly. for The Times. of that city says Its bad enough for a woman to get drunk; it aggravates the offense for her to have her clothes full of money while her system is full of grog."
 Evidently the gravamen of her con- duct consisted in the fact that she car- ried the cash about with her. The Times assures us that the habit of carrying large sums of money con- cealed about ones person is reprehen- sible," from which we are left to infer that any sum over s1.00o is classed among large sums of money" in Hart ford. Possibly it does look that way up there. where each penny is consid- eTeu d FdtudDtc dSS0t, HOt tO Uc EiShcu or spent recklessly. That is a genuine Yankee trait. We are not saying that it is really a bad one, though we South. erners are slow to learn that looking after the little things in life ia a vir- tue. Perhaps we might be better on the saving habit.
 But another grievance against thi woman seems to be that she carried all this money about with her where an ex- pert pickpocket might have found it. Not that we consider it an easy job for mans dress for we believe that is gen. erally looked on as something beyond male perception; still, real expert at finding things might have discovered the hidden store and made of with it. That would have been little better than sinful waste. All over the goodly old town of Hartfrd, judging from the advertising columns of her newspapers, there are bargain counters and marked down goods where this perverse woman could have disposed of her surplus in way that is pleasing to the average female nature, but instead of that she goes about with it in her clothes. car- rying fully developed jag at the same time in open defiance of all good man. ners. For a woman to thus load up on strong drink is a sad spectacle; for her to carry the jag and her money about the streets is Sadder. Hartford should make double example of her.

pressed air this power would be pro duced a great deal cheaper and would not be subject to many of the draw backs to which fresh water power IS liable. For instance. with the util1za- tion of the tides there would be no freshlets, no droughts, no anchor ice. no auxiliary steam plant: there would be no repairs and no expense of main- tenance worth noting.
 A number of practical engineers and capitalists became interested in the scheme. and investigations and exper- iments were begun After months or secured upon the necessary apparatus not only in the United States, but in world.
 This company has options options ,,,, on large S;s sites and during the summer complet- ed at South Thomaston model of the plant which is to be erected. It can be built dam and where the ebb and flow of the tide can be utilized. And any place along the coast which answers this simple requirement. can which the company believes can be successfully worked. All that Is ne- cessary is to construct dam from which will come a fall of water of not less than twelve feet.
 If these thoroughly informed civil engineers are not mistaken in their plans and calculations the problem of harnessing the tides and making them do the work of coal and wood will soon be solved. It may require con- siderable time, and there may be some failures, but it will be done in the end. One of the advantages of this plan is that 1t is double acting. The works will be so arranged that the tide water will be utilized both com ing in and going out and in that way there will be but little loss of time. The progress of invention and utiliza- tion will never stop while man re- mains on the earth.

Tn an editorial in Sundays Advertiser

In an editorial in Sundays Advertiser referring to Captain Peary's expedition a serious error occurred. Just wfE we should have assumed that it Is q hundred degrees instead of ninety to the pole, can only be attributed to carelessness. Those who read the dis matches say that the explorer reached n latitude of S7 degrees and minutes
 rbis brought him within 174 geograph- acal miles. or about 200 statute miles of the supposed location Of the pole' as all will understand by little cal crlation.

AN EXPLANATION

As agents for the Mems Shoes of Clapp's manufac- ture, we have to pay prob- ably more for them than is paid for any line of fine shoes that are sold to the trade; consequently we have to get more for them; the price being fifty cents to a dollar higher.
 MT. Clapp is continually raising his prices, having gone up another twenty five cents on the Spring samples now being shown, but it seems the higher he goes the larger the orders. and therefore nothing can be said, for he cannot turn out the orders any where near on time, which has been serious drawback to the dealers; but when they do come, there is no criti- cism to make as to stock, workmanship or style, for that has all been anticipat- ed and others trouble sav- ed, and all one has to do is to behold an artistic crea- ton, the best. which the knowledge of today can give.
