Now that CIPRIANo CASTRO says that he
Ia not tho President Of Venezuela he can
be spoken of candidly without discourtesy
TO the executive head Of a republic with
which the United States are on friendly
terms. Few rulers Of recent times have
added 90 much to the gayety Of nations.
Al times he has commanded respect. At
times he has been irritating. exasperating,
tragic or contemplate. just now he ia
rather amusing.
1t Is not easy to believe that he has aban-
doned public life or has any serious inten-
ton Of doing 80. 1t seems far more prob
able that he is making a play, with a
strong flavor Of childishness about It,.
One thinks OF him as stalking about, COM

following terms: Il, CIPRIANo CASTRO, am

From TIE MIrdukfe 'Senrnh,
"Pittsburg. Kan, ] believe. Is the only" town In
the United States which paid for Its name" said
Louis La Budde Of Kansas City. 1T was plated
and named In 1879 by Col. Brown.
The town site was named after Pttsburg, Pa.
because of the large amount OF coal Just being de-
veloped In its vicinity. Whenever application WAS
made to the Post Oflce Department for the approval
of the name Col. Brown struck a shag, There was
q Pittsburr already In Kansas and the best tia
could be done was TO name the new town New
Plttsburg. Thus 1t continued until 1870, when the
Plttsburg Coal Company began to make efforts TO
have the name changed. A suggestion was made
to the residents OF the older Pitkburg TO change
the name OF their town, but to no ayalLs.s-,~
at was ascertalned that money inlgbtbe a per.
euasiye agent. A fund OF $3.50 was raised by the
New Pttsburg people and forwarded to the post
master OF older Plttsburg. That had Its decided
effect. The name OF the town was changed to
Upton. and thus 1t has been known ever since. "

In Oregon.

His deserved popularity and good rec
ord and his complete acceptance of every
doctrine and policy labelled "Roose-
welt" brought victory to GEORGE f.
CHAMBERLAIN, the Democratic Governor
of Oregon, in his contest for reelection
Monday. All the candidates for other
offices on the Republican State ticket
were elected. The Legislature will be
Republican, and JONATHAN BOURNE,
the Republican candidate for United
States Senator, will succeed JOHN NJ.
GEARIN, Democrat, who was appointed
last December to fill the vacancy caused
bv the death of JOHN H. MITCHELL.
Probably Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN's success
would have been impossible had he not
announced his hearty sympathy with
President ROOSEVELT. The Presidents
popularity in Oregon is overwhelming.
Those wise men of politics who looked
for a great change in public feeling
toward Mr.. ROOSEVELT after the election
of 1904 have seen their prophecies dis
credited so far. There is no sign that
his hold on the mass of the people is not
as firm as ever. This may be an inval-
liable help to the Republicans in the
November elections.
There is nothing in the Oregon returns
to JOIN SHARP WILLIAMS
in his hope to be ,ipeaker of the next
House. even if it turns out that one
Democratic Representative has been
elected. The revelations concerning
MITCHELL, Hermann and others high in
the Republican State machine were bad
enough to have caused the defeat Of
every Republican candidate for office.

The Colby Republicans in New Jersey
continue to display a callous disregard of
the great philanthropist and promoter
of thrift who assists in the management
of the affairs Of their party's State Or
ganization. The platform they adopted
Monday calls for primary nominations
and investigation of the insurance compa-
MES OF the State; it advocates numerous
other policies from which the Hon. JOHN
FAIRFIELD DRYDEN dissents.
Mr.. DRYDEN's appeal for support has not
appeared yet. 1t should contain a Wig
orous declaration in favor of foster
ing a saving spirit among the poor, a
subject to which he has devoted much
unselfsh attention. He was completely
satisfied with conditions before Mr..
COLBY became a figure in Jersey politics,
and he looks with a benignant sorrow
upon the proceedings of that restless
and irreverent youth.
In the Colby platform several more
or less radical propositions are set forth
in q fashion to appeal to the benighted
man behind the ballot. Have not Mr..
DRYDEN's altruistic efforts in behalf Of
the small wage worker evoked the en-
thusiasm which a self-sacrifcing laborer
for the good of his fellow men has a
right to expect? In the campaign
opened so early by the Colbyites the
Newark statesman will have a doubtless
welcome opportunity to learn the exact
measure of the love and veneration in
which he is held by the voters Of New
Jersey.
