His Visit. to the Earl.

There is n well known English bishop
who writes very bad hand. This bad
hand caused sad error to happen
some years ago. A young clergyman
had written to the bishop to inquire
about a vacant curacy, and the reply
that the young man got Informed lin
that the salary was small and the work
difficult. But there was one mitigating
circumstance. The incumbent, among
his other duties, would visit the earl
every morning and spend two hours
there. The curate would have rejected
the post but for the daily visit to the
earl. That attracted him. There would,
no doubt. lie told himself. be many
fashionable dinners to which he would
-natsaaily be Invited. He would. make
many friends among the riHls .Slu'
powerful. These fries.s would be able
to help him ii mis- career. The earl,
fasarnaps, had daughters. One of them
who knows?- stranger things had
happened. And SO the curate accepted
the difficult and poorly paid curacy to
discover OIL his first visit to the town
that he had misread the bishops letter
and that his daily two hours visit was
not to the earl. but u the Jail.

Dishonesty Does Not Pay.

The Chicago Cab drivers have a
we'll deserved reputation for robbine
the public by charging extortionate
prices. The ordinances of the city
fixing cab fares are generally disre
garded, and what is the result? The
people of Chicago and visitors to the
city avoid the cab stands as they
would pes.ilence, and properly SO.
If these jehus, and the policemen
who help them to violate the law.
could be replaced by honest men.
Chicago cabmen, instead OF doing
on their boxes all day, would have
something to do, and would make
good wages. Not alone would they
make more money than is now made
by the law breakers, b 1T cab drivers
would have the confidence and re
spect of their neighbors and the
public which in the long run would
be far more desirable than money.

Iowa City Republican: Every
time CuI,mins makes speech he
declares his unfalterirg adherence
to the principles of protection and
he does this in beautiful language
His opening address at Churdan
contained reproductions of these ex-
ordiums and wordy declarations,
which he declares with more We
hemence than ever, and still there
are doubters. If the governor had
quoted his assaults upon the Ding
lev law and had declared them over
again as earnestly as he besought
his auditors to believe his declar-
atoms that he is protectionist, he
would have given the people an OPP
portunity to correctly Judge of the
merits of his claims of genuine re-
publicanism, He never told the
people that only year ago he de-
clared in a speech that "The amount
of graft of all the insurance com.
panies Tor all the time will not equal
one-fifth of the amount of which the
people are robbed every year bN,eeSS-
cesssisRys t,ii. . is. " lMnss said that and
many much more like it, yet he has
the gall to stand before an intelligent
audience Of reading p ople and de-
clare his friendship for the republi-
can policy of protection. In this
district Judge Wade was elected by
going around the district and quot
ing from Cummins and then ap-
pealing to the Cummins Republicans
to support him, as ne stood right
where Cummins stood and still
stands.

Judge E. P. Sc, ds Speaks.

Judge E P. Seeds delivered a po-
litical speech in the City Hall last
Saturday evening, which from an
oratorical standpoint was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who heard it. Man
chester people generally, regardless
Of party have taken pride in the dis.
tinction which has been conferred
upon Judge Seeds in public life.
They are always glad to hear him
and are not inappreciative of his
rare gifts as an accomplished public
speaker.
His speech was what one would
naturally expect Of a Republican
orator during political campaign.
He gave the Republican party cred
it for about every good thing that
has been done or reform accomplish
ed and charged up to the Democrats
all the mistakes and predicted a
dire future for the country if they
should be given control of the ma;
tional government. He discussed
| national issues at length and devot-
ed considerable portion OF his
| speech to the discussion Of the tariff,
but, as he said in his preliminary
remarks that he knew very little
about that great economic question:
we are not disposed to take issue
with him IN what he said on the
subject. Realizing his precarious
position he walked the tight rope on
the subject of tariff revision beautl-
fully But his stand-pat ideas were
bound to leak out at times. and he
said that while there might be some
schedules of the tariff law that it
might be we'll enough to revise some
day, he would advise extreme eau
ton and prude ice and urged that the
present law be not repealed in order
to change one or two schedules until
they were doing more harm to the
country than all Of the rest OF the
law was doing good.
The contest Of absorbing interest
to the Iowa vot n today is that of
| Cummins and Porter for the govern
orship, and many Of his audience
were eager to hear what Judge Seeds
might have to offer on the subject,
but they were disappointed. lie

The trust owned and trust re-
aimed newspapers Of New York are
shouting in choras, that Hearst is
in league with Murphy and if elect
ed will not enforce the laws. And,
strange as it may seem, the men
who would suffer most from an en-
forcement Of the laws seem to be
suffering most of all from
this fear Of non enforcement. The
fact is that il Mr.. Hearst is elected
governor, the laws Of the state Of
New York give him the power to re-
move every sheriff and every prose-
cutting officer in that state who ne
elects to enforce the law, and the
power to fill their places with law
enforcing officers. And the GER
tainty of such removals, if Mr..
Hearst is elected, is worrying the
