Promotion of Pershine.

Missourians get into the limelight
naturally as duck takes to water.
The latest one to be focused by the
public eye is Captain Pershing, now a
brigadier general. He was jumped
over the heads of big lot Of captains,
majors, lieutenant colonies and colo
nels. Consequently there is much dis
gruntlement The fact that he was
passed over the heads Of SO many Of
his seniors is one objection urged
against the promotion of this gallant
soldier. Another is that he is not a
West Pointer. But President Roose-
yelt overruled the objections and gave
him his star. Of course the senate
will have to confirm his nomination
or he will be still captain. However,
as Frederick Funston was made a
brigadier for similar service to that
rendered by Pershing and as the SEN
ate confirmed his nomination. it will
hardly balk at confirming Pershing.

Campbell Of Ohio.


Democrats everywhere will be pleas
ed to learn that Ex-Governor James e.
Campbell has been nominated for con-
gress in the Third Ohio district. That
he will be elected there is little doubt.
The district is normally Democratic.
My good personal friend. Colonel Bob
Nevins, is, if mistake not, the only
Republican that ever succeeded III
breaking into congress from that DEM
ocratic bailiwick. That was due to
several unusual causes, among which
was Colonel Bob's personal popularity,
but as he has declined to be candi-
date any more. to attend to private
business, and as Governor Campbell
lis exceedingly popular and first rate
campaigner his election is assured.
He viii be most heartily welcomed on
both sides of the house, for he has
served with distinction in that body.
Being most capable man, with a
large experience in politics, he will be
of great service to his party and conse-
qnently to the country For some
years he has practiced law and engag-
ed in business in New York, but has
always maintained his Ohio residence.

Colonel Ike Hill.

Congress will hardly seem the same
without Hon Isaac r. Hill there to-
round up laggard Democratic mem-
bers. He was known from sea to sea
as Colonel Ike Hill, and he had been
there so long that the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. He per-
haps knew more or less intimately
more public men than any other hui
man being, and If he had an enemy
in the wide, wide world never heard
of it. He was rampant Democrat,
and no matter what the ticket or plat
form. Colonel Ike always voted her
straight. He was most genial man
and did thousands of kindnesses to
members, especially new members.

Ia Oklahoma.


There is little question that the new
state of Oklahoma will be Democratic.
The Indian Territory portion is perhaps
two to one Democratic, while the Okla
homa territory portion is close. The
negro or race problem appears to be
worrying the Republicans down there
just as it worries everybody north,
south, east or west that is brought into
contact with it. The following dispatch
to the st. Louis Republic explains it
self:
Muskogee. j. H.. Sept. 24-The Repub-
lican Editorial association of the Third
congressional district at a meeting here
today adopted resolutions opposing the
nomination of negro on a ticket for
elective office. TIE resolutions also de-
clare in favor of separate schools, for
Jim Crow cars and for separate watt
ing rooms. 1t was stated that the editors
favored this move, as "the party has dis
charged its obligation to the negro by
giving him full civil rights equal to any
citizen
That that is not a partisan statement
for campaign effect cooked up By. some
Democrat down there is demonstrated
by the fact that dispatch of like tenor
was sent broadcast over the land and
appeared In divers Republican papers,
To more clearly comprehend the full
import Of the transaction described
therein it is well to remember that the
negroes are very numerous in and
about Muskogee 1t is said that when

Especial Washington letter.

lGBeEidi AystSitlii stOA fi<cttcEtl
~ CONSISTENCY has been declared
to be a rare jewel, but the st.
~ Louis Globe Democrat seems to
dissent from that view at least
it does not practice consistency to any
alarming extent. In its issue Of
Wednesday, Sept. 26, in its editorial
columns appeared this paragraph:
Mr.. Francis says Bryan will obey the
party. What has become Of the Bryan
who ran the Democratic national conven-
ton of 1900? Some folks, unlike Mr..
Francis. think he is still around.
A little farther along in the editorial
columns of that issue of the GID. ap
peared these sentences:
Colonel Moses Wetmore was never near
er great and profound truth than on
that day when he said, under an Italian
sky, that this is not the same old Bry-
an" Certainly the old Bryan. then ten
years younger than he is now. did not
talk of "details to be worked out" while
at Chicago in 1896.
In the first paragraph quoted ''the
old Bryan" still lives. In the second
our Moses killed him off as completely
as the great Moses disposed Of GER
tain Egyptian. and the CD. says that
in so doing our Moses was never
nearer a great and profound truth"
There. is Consistency for you with a
big, big c. Once upon a time when
Colonel William H. Switzler and Colo
mel George ". Anderson were compel
-
trict which / now have the honor to
represent Colonel Switzler put in two
hours to prove Colonel aAnderson's in
constituencies, which was an easy stunt,
for Anderson belonged by turns to ey-
cry party ever organized in his lifetime
except the Prohibition party. So the
only answer he ever made to Colonel
SwitzIer's assault was to roar in his
deep bass. '.Fellow citizens, consist
ency be damned,' That seems to be
the theory of the Globe-Democrat also.
In one column the 'sold Bryan" is still
alive, no matter what Governor Fran
els says; four columns farther along,
on the same page, the old Bryan" is
dead as a smelt, according to the ed
itor of the CD. OF course the GID.
Is not responsible for what Governor
Francis says. provided it does not in
dorse it, but a careful reading of the
first quotation above set forth shows
that when the GID. editor quoted
Francis it did indorse what he said in
the first column, and then in the fourth
column the editor took precisely the
opposite view. Once upon a time there
was a famous drawer of the long bow
who proved everything he said by his
coiored body servant. At last the sto-
ries became so rank that even the col
ored brother couldn't stand for them
and said, "Look here, master, you must
not tell such wild tales" So they en-
tered into an agreement that when the
story was becoming too amazing for
belief the darky should tramp on the
white mans foot. So one day on. de-
scribing big barn he had seen the
latter said, 1T was 600 feet long. 200
feet high" Here the negro tramped
on his corns, and he concluded with
'sAnd it was three feet wide.' This
incident is earnestly commended to
the CD.

Times change, and we change with
them Yea, verify For instance, who
would have thought just after the cleo
ton Of 1904 that in 1906 the Iowa Re-
publicans would be in such sore straits
that they would be sending up a Mace,
donian cry for help and be importing
such famous Republican orators as Mr.
Speaker Cannon, Hon. james e. Wat
son and Senator Beyeridge into the
state to keep it from going Democrat
ic? Yet precisely that thing is hap-
pening in the Hawkeye State at the
present writing. That trio and other

iican nominees. To this complexion

southern states. Every once In awhile
there Is a Lily White movement in the
southern states among the Republicans
which is simply protest against negro
domination In both Illinois and Kan
sas mixed schools have been the cause
of much trouble and discord. So ii
goes, and so it will go during our time
at least. What the ultimate settlement
of the race question will be no man can
tell. Both Thomas Jefferson and Abra-
ham Lincoln the greatest Democrat
and the greatest Republican, favored
colonization as the sovereign remedy.
but their countrymen were as deaf to
their preachments as were the antedi-
Iuvians to the warnings of Noah touch
ing the approaching flood. Immediate
ly after the Atlanta race riots John
Temple Graves, editor. orator and lee
turer, reyamped the colonization ideas
OF Jefferson and Lincoln in an enthusi
astic manner and for so doing was de-
nounced as a dangerous character by
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, which is
only another evidence of how far pres
ent day Republicans have drifted from
the Republicanism of Abraham Lincoln.
To depert and eoIonize 100000 ne
groes would be stupendous stunt, but
would not that be preferable to a race
war which would drench the country
in blood?

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were TO be traced to the kidneys.

Facts About Australia.

That the Commonwealth of Australia is making
Roadway there Is no doubt. Reports from all
sources show that. With q population not much
over 4.0OO.Oo0, the external trade is one and a half
times greater than that of Japan. and ave times
as large as that OF Portugal. Since the fedora
ton Of the various colonies into the Commonwealth,
January 1 1901, the 5000 factories, with 1873. 600
workers. have increased TO 1900 factories with
203. 900 workers. In factories having less than
four workers 81, 900 persons are employed. making
the total OF factory workers 10000. Australia

The total annual production from agriculture,

Sir John Forrest, treasurer OF the Commonwealth,
has now reached nearly 5000 .0Oo, 900. Extensive
railway development has brought this about,
Australia has built 1900 miles OF railways at a
cost OF S67o. 100000. The gross revenue Is $50.
o00. 900 a year. and after paying all working ex.
penses there is a pront equal TO 8& psr cent. on the
cost. plus the vast indirect profit which always
follows railway development.
During the last ten years the external trade OF
the Commonwealth has increased from $3.50, 900. 900
q year TO S0o. o0o 900 a year. and in the last
four years the increase has been $50. 600. 900. For
Great Britain the very unsatisfactory part Is
that since 1894 British exports TO Australia have
decreased from II per cent. TO CT per cent. OF
Australla's Imports. while those from foreign coun.
tries nearly d~oubled-being 80 per cent. in 1905,
compared with l6 per cent. In 1894.
Australia's public debt Is 81. lis. oOo. 900. Of which
$3.50, 900. 900 is owing In Great Britain and Sa25 900. 900

A Parable Of the Golden Gate.

At the gateway of the devastated city
stood a woman. her garments torn and dis
ordered, her flesh bruised and bleeding, but
in her eyes the light of pride and strength and
determination. To all the children Of men
she spoke:
Il am struck down by the power that no
man can measure. My children suffer for
bread and cry for shelter. The homes that
covered them are gone. The fields that fed
them are desolated."
Then from every man came quick answer
From mansion and from howell, from the old
and from the young from the rich and from
the poor, came love and comfort and help.
Each gave gladly. according to his power.
But one stood apart, watching all that was
given. To the stricken woman he said:
This you shall take. and this you shall
reject. This you may have, but this you
must put aside. OF these e. such you may
use. but the rest you shall cast away. All
on which my mark Is. that you may freely
use TO feed your people and to restore your
city. All that bears not my mark is forbid TO
you. and woe to those who violate my rulei"
The woman looked on him. and saw that he
was Union Labor. And she was only San
Francisco.

feared may take place in Paris on the
approaching first day Of May.
1t may be that the rapid concentration
Of soldiers in and neal the capital will
discourage the proletariat from attempt
ing a revolution at this time, especially
as the present Minister Of the Interior
has hitherto enjoyed their confidence,
and they are justified in assuming that
they can secure more concessions from
him than from any politician likelyto sue
coed him. 1t seems probable, however,
that, even if no extensive disturbance
of the peace shall take place during the
next fortnight outside Of the Department
Of the Pas-de-Calais, the Ministerial
majority will be considerably reduced.
In that event the so-called Bloc, or COM
bination of factions, which for years has
been dominant in both Houses OF Par
lament, may be broken up and the
Chambers centre Of gravity may shift
far enough toward the Right to give the
Premiership to NJ. DoUMER, whothe other
day was the candidate of the Moderates
for the Presidency Of the Republic.
Most observers predict that at the
coming election the Monarchists and
Clericals on the m hand, and on the
other hand, those Socialists who are
opposed to cooperation with Republi-
cans, will gain a good many seats.

San Francisco. among large American
cities, enjoyA the distinction OF being
practically the only one without a munich
pal debt. 1t has only nominal obligations,
and an almost untouched credit in its hour
of sorest need.
The blow which fell ON the city and Its
people came at a period perhaps the most
favorable in all the year for the thousands
suddenly driven from home and shelter.
Far beyond these alleviating features Of
a terrible disaster is another-the sturdy
character Of the people Of San Francisco.
Their earlier traditions are a heritage Of
hardship, a city populated by the successors
Of miners, mariners from other countries,
overland emigrants, children born in
prairie schoonen and daring newcomers
from every State. There is no peril which
the people Of San Francisco cannot face and
no obstacle which they canno overcome,
because every known peril and obstacle has
been met and overcome in the past.
