zens whose personal wealth IL valued ny

more ,han million dollars each,
Suppose these one hundred and forty
two persons, or two-thirds, or hnlf Of
them should got together and determine
10 unlte IN u strong, earnest effort to
boom Richmond and TO contribute for
the work according to their means?
How fast the old town would move!
How cheerfully and with what unity Of
hope and purpose The RINK and file OF our
citizenship, from tho men working FOR
small wages right along Up, through tho
financial scale, would fan In ana help!
What a vast Increase there would be In
all values real and personal!
Tho thing seems like a dream, Yet Il

sizes our saying the other day that the
rate bill Is honeycombed with politics ana
that each party has tried to make the
most OF 1t. Tho incident also emphasizes
that Mr.. Roosevelt Is n clever politician
aid Republican politician ut that. some
OF us have playfuly referred to him as
Democrat, but that was a pleasantly,
Y merely. Mr., Roosevelt Is n stalwart Re-
publican and his natural af'illintion IS
made manifest and declared. There is
that distinction between Mr.. roosevelt
and Mr.. Cleveland, between whom COM
PARSONS have been made. Whenever MT.
Cleveland made up his mind to pursue
course which seemed to him to be fight,
M went at 1t hammer and tongs. and
the party be hanged. He consumed pre-
clo,,s little time in holding White House
interviews with Democratic leaders. MI.
Roosevelt has ever kept his partys m
ters,s well in view, and while he has
''negoNnted" with certain Democratic
Senators he has made oil his paper pay

Democrats have taken Mr.. Roosevelt
toe literally. Upon memorable occasion
IN Virginia politics follower Of General
Malone publicly acknowledged Mahone
ms his master and, posing dramatically
before his audience and holding out sup
pliant hands to the Boss, said: L"end OH
master, I'll follow" But the time came
when he kicked against the pricks, ana
when reminded of his public confession
and his dramatic act Of kissing the ROD,
Z he naively replied. "Of course, | SAID H.

Baltimore's Milk Show.

Baltimore Is having a milk exhibit, and
the show Is largely attended. Visitors
look at the germs through the micro
scope and are able TO judge for thcnl-
selves the difference between pure and
impure milk. An interesting exhibit, says
the Sun, shows the result OF the inocu-
lation OF animals TO prevent tuberculo-
SIS Portions Of COWS that had been
preventively inoculated arc shown side

not been inoculated. both later being
infected with the disease. The animal
that had been inoculated was shown to
be free from the tubercular growth and
the uninoculated animals had the growth.
There are many other exhibits bearing
on the general subject. and the show
Is In a high degree educational Many
persons laugh at the germ theory, be-
cause they have never seen q germ, But
when they look through microscope and

"Bob" Taylor's Triumph.

II In winning the nomination for Unlteu
states senator in Tennessee over Senator
Edward W. Carmack In Saturdays pri-
maries, former Governor Robert H. ray
lor achieved the greatest triumph Of his
life, which has fairly bristled with po-
litical victories since his young man
hood.
Senator Carmack had behind him
powerful and well-directed organization,
whose qualifications extended to nearly
every section, and he was strongly back
ed by the State administrations
He had the support of the most In.
fuental daily papers in the State, ana
was earnestly assisted by the big po-
ltlcal leaders III the main centers.
Again, the senior Senator is q man OF
power and prestige both as national
leader and among his own people. He
had taken stand In the Senate which
placed him In tho class with the nlNAst
OF the younger members OF that body,
and his fame as debater, legislator ind
party leader had already Travelled fur be-
you'd the National Capital or tho State
Of Tennessee.
Mr.. Curmnck had been prominent as
lawyer, newspaper man and State legis-
lator. but no had his first great victory
when lie defeated Hon. Josiah Patterson
for Congress on the silver issue In the
Memphis district In 1885, He was re-
elected In 1885. and elevated to the Sen
ate shortly etterward, where hc is serv-
ing out his first term.
Governor Taylor was Il candidate to
succeed the lato General Bate, when
Governor James u. Frazier was elected.
Taylor and his friends claimed that tbs
administration forces, with senator Car
macks organization. had taken snap
Judgment" upon him, and ho announced
that at the proper time he would "go
after the senior Senator's scalp
He secured primary, the first ever
held In the State, and ho and his com.
pettor spoke in nearly every county and
city from MI. Ea!sam to the banks OF
the Mississippi, making the most cx-
4 citing and picturesque campaign since the
days OF Andrew Johnson.
They never met in joint debate, for
there was too much personal bitterness
TO permit OF this; but the force and logic
OF the militant Carmack and the timely
anecdotes and rhetorical flights of the
brilliant Taylor brought out thousands OF
enthusiastic voters almost everywhere
