cRoKER's OPPORTUNITY.
(From The Washington Star.)


The gossip about Mr.. Croker is all
very puzzling. Now he is returning to
America, and now he isn't. Now he
is tired of his Irish home, and now
he isn't. Now he has wearied Of the
turf and longs again for politics, and
now he hasn't. oh, we'll, we shall
simply have to wait and see. But
if the ex-boss only knew how much
mixed everything over here is, and
what opportunities exist, for man to
whom salary is not so much an OBJ
Ject as the chance to get even. he
would not tarry longer on the other
side. There are more kinds of Demo
Gratis in New York than may be count
ed on the fingers OF both hands, and
two varieties of Republicans that defy
all anlysis by the old rules. This
is the country for a man of Mr.. Crok-
er's tastes and talents.

BAILEY rs DODGING.

The fight on Senator Bailey has
reached white heat and the Senator
now is jumping sideways to dodge
the shafts hurled at him by those
who are after his scalp. Just what
will be the result no one can tell
at this time, certain it is that the
senator is beginning to see that the
people are thoroughly aroused and
it will take the fight of his life to
get back to the senate again.

Arthur Chamberlain, the Oldest
brother of the great politician, is very
unlike his brother in many ways. For
one thing he is opposed to him in
politics; also he does not wear an
eyeglass. Seeing, however, that a
Chamberlain would not be a Cham
berlain without some mannerism, he
invariably wears the pinkest of pink
necl1wear,

diiu, he SAID, BULLET wouldn't hold
live dollars on his back, nohow. But,
as [ bantered you, if you say even
swap, here's at you"
Il told you," said Peter, "I'd be
as clever as you, therefore, here goes
two dollars more, just for trades
sake. Give me three dollars, and
it's bargain"
Blossom repeated his former as
sertion; and here the parties stood
for a long time, and the by-standers
(for many were now collected), be-
gan to taunt both parties After
some time, however, it was pretty
unanimously decided that the old man
had backed Blossom out.
At length Blossom swore he "nev-
er would be backed out for three dol
lars after bantering a man.; and,
accordingly, they closed the trade
"Now," said Blossom, as he hand
ed Peter the three dollars, "I'm
man that, when he makes a bad
trade, makes the most of it until he
can make better. I'm for no rues
and after-claps. -
"That's just my way" said Pc
ter; "I never goes to law to mend
my bargains"
"Ah, you're the kind of boy I
love to trade with. Here's your hoss,
old man. Take the saddle and bride
off him, and I'll strip yours; but lift
up the blanket easy from Bullets
back, for he's a mighty tender
backed hoss."
The old man removed the saddle,
but the blanket stuck fast. He at
tempted to raise it, and Bullet bow
ed himself, switched his tail, danced
a little, and gave signs of biting.
FDon 1t hunt him, old man." said
Blossom, archly; "take it off easy.
I ann, perhaps, leetle Of the best
man at horse-swap that ever catch
ed a COON"
Peter continued to pull at the

Bullet became more and more ca
vortish; insomuch that, when the
blanket came off, he had reached the
kicking point in good earnest.
The removal Of the blanket dis
closed sore on Bullets backbone
that seemed to have defed all medi-
cal skill. It measured six full inches
in length and four in breadth, and
had as many features as Bullet had
motions. My heart sickened at the
sight; and I felt that the brute who
had been riding him in that situation
deserved the halter.
The prevailing feeling, however,
was that of mirth. The laugh became
loud and general at the old mans ex-
pense, and rustic witticisms were lib
orally bestowed upon him and his
late purchase. These Blossom con-
tinued to provoke by various re-
marks. He asked the old man elf
be thought Bullet would let five dol
lars lie on his back" He declared
most seriously that he had owned

PURCHASING THE RAILROADS.

OF the railroads OF the United States
make total Of $13,213,124,6 It
may be said that the railroads did
not actually cost this sum of money.
but the question to be considered n
the purchase of this private property
is what it is worth now to the hold
ers Of these stocks and bonds. This
would have to be calculated, not per-
haps upon the basis of the market
prices of the securities, but certainly
upon the basis Of their income ca
pacity Not on their income for any
single year, but for series of good
and bad years.
In speaking Of the purchase of the
railroads by the government, the Wall
Street Journal remarks:
"In case adj the railroads were ab-
sorbed by the federal government,
and that is what, in the last analy-
sis, it would amount to, this opera
ton would increase the funded debt
of the country from less than $1,00r,-
100000 to more than $14 100000
900, and the $130OO,OOOOOO of debt
which would have to be created Jv
the United States in order to pur-
chase the railroads would amount t.
80 per cent Of this total world gov
ernment Indebtedness.
That lis exemplifcation of the fact
that a man can write the truth -
the literal truth-and yet make IL
tell the most abominable lie. Let is
give AN example. A man s wife had
been away for vacation. Upon her
return he placed a large amount of
beautiful flowers in the hall and par
lors to make her home coming pleas
ant. Then they had a quarrel and
he sued for divorce. He went on
the stand and swore that when she
came home he did everything to give
her a pleasant greeting. That ne
placed flowers in the hall and par
lors, but she threw them out into
the garbage can. He failed to state
that she preserved them until all
their beauty had vanished and decay
had set in. He, like the Wall Street
Journal, told the literal truth, AMI
at the same time, the most abOmina-
BILE lie
There is a vast difference between
a government debt that causes the
people to be taxed to pay interest
and finally the principle, and an in
vestment which can return a prof.
to the people and reduce taxation.
The Journal knows that the people
have a horror Of government debts.
They have heretofore been used 70
tax and impoverish them, and that
was the sense in which it was in
tended that they should understand
this debt of $13,OOO,OOO,OOO. An ej-
itor who will play such dirty trick
as that upon his readers is as con-
temptible a creature as exists. The
people are already paying the inter
est on that debt, and will continue to
pay it. whether government owns the
roads or they remain in private

One Store Will Have Window Ex-

to Be Much In Evidence.

Yakima fruit day at the opening
of the state fair next Monday will be
one of the biggest events which ever
took place in the city.
The great majority of North Yaki-
ma merchants are making every
preparation for the day. The Yakima
Hardware store will probably have
one Of the most unique exhibits, as 1t
is planning on having an entire
ranch in the window, the ranch to be
in miniature and to display every
conceivable kind of fruit,
Other stores will have exhibits of
nature to surprise not only the Wis
itors. but local people. The displays
will be elaborate in every particular
and the exhibit promoted by the
publicity committee promises to be
something never to be forgotten in
Yakima.

CrawfOrds Low.

Says the Seattle Times: On the
public market this morning the only
feature was the peddlers Offering of
Crawford peaches at prices which
have not heretofore been quoted
65 cents. From this price the Craw-
fords ranged up to $1.10. Fish also
reappeared after being unobtainable
for number of days. The prices
are the same as before.
Peas are to be had today in good
quantity at pounds for 25 cents.
The daily mixup between the po-
lice and the peddlers took place this
morning. when the market master
attempted to move a peddler from
one stand to another. The peddler
resisted vigorously. declaring It to
be his right to stand at any vacant
place. With the assistance OF anoth-
er officer the market master finally
moved him away from the bunch of
wagons to a group Of three teams
standing opposite Stewart street.
Chief of Police C. w. Wappen-
stein yesterday notified one of the
downtrodden farmers that he would
not be allowed to bring his produce
to Pike place in an automobile. The
farmer who made the request over
the telephone, was plainly annoyed
at being forced to stick to a plebian
horse and wagon, but the police
chief is afraid that all of the market
horses are not broken to chug-wag-
ons.
Ranch eggs at the Ninth and Union
market were this morning advanced
to 40 cents straight to consumers.

Fred Luster will bring suit against

ease and the two we're placed in the
hospital together. County Health
Officer DR.. Philip Frank states that
Luster was well provided for, that he
was furnished new clothes and given
everything he coud possibly wish for,
and now, through Attorney Allen, he
wishes to sue the county for IS a

county will contest the suit If it is
