Toward the end of his campaign
Hearst evidently exhausted his ample
stock of vile epithets which he
bestowed so freely upon all men of
prominence in the country and reached
his limit of vituperation. When
he got as far as Secretary Bonaparte
on his list he could call him nothing
worse than a "cab horse" Secretary
Bonaparte responds that he feels as
the famous Mrs Partington did when
she was called parallelogram. He
knows that il is terrible insult. but
does not know why, for cab horse
seems to him to be a very useful mem

A New York exchange remarks that
q feature of the recent election was an
unusual amount of praying. 1t is
certain that there was also an unusual
amount of swearing, betting and mud
throwing. Even with the extra
prayers thrown in it was not kind of
campaign which New York wants to
see repeated.

Michigan seems to be the banner re
publican state of the year. Not only
did it elect the Republican candidate
for governor by over 100000 majority
and sent a solid Republican delegation
of - men to Congress. but it is also
said that there will not be a single
Democrat in the Legislature. That IS
about as near unanimous as any state
can well make it.

DOCKET OF HOUSTON
TWO MURDER TRIALS TO COME UP
 -.-ss THIS WEEK.
Those of the Big Creek Postmaster E. !. Cowan. and the strick- tand Rrothers-Lsfter Slew
 Their Uncle.

Dothan, May l5.--(Special) )--The
 criminal docket of Houston county cir cult court was again taken up this week. and Thursday and Friday will come up for consideration and trial two murder cases, those of E. I. Cowan and the Strickland Brothers.
 Cowan. at the time he Is alleged by the State to have killed Curtis Rogers was the postmaster at Big Creek. in this county. The state will charge in its effort to convict the defendant that while he and Curtis Rogers were alone fin the formers place of business at Big Creek, and while Rogers was seat ed at table writing. he was assassi- mated by the accused man. Tho evil denee is. of course purely clrcumstan- tial The defense will plead that Rogers met an accidental death. 1t be- ing claimed by Cowan's attorneys that a revolver fell from some upper shelv- ing and was discharged the ball enter ing Rogers brain and causing instant death.
 The two Strickland brothers both, young men in their teens, slew their uncle in the Big Creek neighborhood. There is no denial of this fact, but the claim of the defense is that the two boys acted solely to protect them selves. The dispute which ended in the death of the elder Strickland, a brother of the boys father. was trival one and arose over a dog belonging to the defendants. The dog snapped at the uncle. arousing his anger. Hot words followed and the killing occurfed.
 Still another murder case of much local interest was scheduled to have come up for trial at this term of the circuit court, but has been postponed until next term. It is that of Bill Crockett. we'll known white man around town, who. says the state of Alabama, killed Lum Henderson. Hend- erson was a negro whose home was here He was what is familiarly known as a white mans negro and every one liked him. The killing aroused much popular indignation among both races In Dothan. and two rewards were offered for the apprehension of the per petrator or perpetrators. one by white citizens and one by blacks.

 on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. adjourning at mid night after speeches by NJ. Rodltcheff and a dozen orators of lesser calibre The discussion which will be re- sumed at Il o'clock tomorrow showed that the main attack on the address will be delivered from the left. The ieaders of Parliament have mere to fear from the radicals than from the conservatives.
 The evenings debate was tame. Even the periods of Nj. Roditcheff. the best orator among the constitutional demo

 The only scene of real enthusiasm was due to a reference to the absence l from the address of plank on tne subject of woman suffrage Wnich | brought half the members Of the House I to their feet cheering The other rao- I ical members demanded a paragraph l asking for the punishment of ofhciais l guilty of excesses in past acts or re- | pression and a fuller and plainer state.

 Seven conservative members essayed
  mood to listen then, Prince Volkonsky, a leading Octoberist refused to con- | tinue his speech and left the rostrum with a bitter feeling at denial of the Il right of free speech.
 Two features of the session de- ycloped outside the regular debate. The first was the adoption of rule rela- I tive to the previous question under which fifty members may prevent the
 stcppARe of a debate opening the door t. successful filibustering by de- termined minority of one-tenth of the membership of the House. The other i feature was the appearance of con- servatiye peasant group among the sup | porters of the government, sforty-four peasant members signing motion for I postponement of the debate.
 The motion was overwhelmingly de- I feated.
