Twain and King Edward.

Mark Twain's combinations with
King Edward call to mind the famous
meeting betwixt John Lawrence Sulli-
van when he was champion Of the
world and the king when he was
Prince Of Wales. On that occasion
Sully won great renown by insisting
on keeping his hat on so long as Al
bert Edward kept his on, declaring cor
rectly that be stood as high in his OWE
profession as the prince stood in his,
Since that Sully has gone down and
out, while the prince has gone up high
er. The chances are that he enjoys
Mark fully as much as the latter enjoys
him, and, what's more, Mark viii make
money out Of the transaction by writ
Ing it up, while the king will only in
crease his reputation. So wags the
world

Redectio ad Absurdunn.

AS the signs of the times indicate
that certain high and mighty function
aries are determined once more to try
to force the ship subsidy job on the
country, deem it pertinent herewith to
file as part of this letter the following
unique petition, which was sent to me
last winter for use in any anti ship
subsidy speech that might make As
made no speech in congress on that
fertile theme because / was too busy
with other matters. I give my readers
the benefit of it. Here it is:
To the Congress of the United States.
Greeting
The urgent need of a ship subsidy law
is apparent to all. If the United States
is to gobble up the carrying trade of the
universe, she must encourage the building
and running of ships by ready money con-
sheraton
But this is not ALL A world power, the
United States must take her place In the
forefront of progress. What was good
enough for last year will not do for next
year. In ships. as in everything else, the
United States must be prepared to face
the world with the latest modern methods.
The great ocean steamships have solved
the transportation problem of the past be-
tween nations, but the day OF the ocean
steamship is passing.
The airsEip is the passenger liner and
the freight carrier of the future.
The bill now before congress unJustly
discriminates in favor of ocean steam
ships. Against this gross injustice to air.
ship building I wish to enter protest and
to appeal for fair play and spot cash
encouragement to aero navigation.
If this country Is to make winning eff
fort TO do the lions share of the carrying
trade, 1t must establish air lines to the
orient and to South American ports and
this cannot be done without proper aid
from the government.
/ am not misquoting high authority
when / say that state aid to shipping Il
as much part of the commercial system
of today as state employment of consus
to promote business. Whatever has been
said in favor of the subsidy for steam.
ships can be more forcefully said Of air.
ships.
My plan is to establish great airshiI
building industry IN Seattle and run regu-
lar passenger and freight lines 10 the
orient and South America, provided tbs
government is willing TO encourage my
infant industry BY proper cash reoogni.
ton La such quantity will prove an ab.
eolute guarantee against loss.

have OF d fair and JUST subsidy bin e 3

Richard Redivivus.

1t was generally supposed when
Governor Richard Yates the second
Young Dick, as he is popularity called
in Illinois-was defeated for renomina-
ton as governor by Mr.. Deneen and
for the United States senate by Uncle
Shelby NJ. Cullom, senior and perpet-
ual senator from Suckerdom, that he
was permanently done for, and his null
titudinous enemies rejoiced greatly and
uproariously thereat But they seem
to have reckoned without their host,
for surface indications prove that Rich
ard, If not himself again, is coming to.
1t is announced from Chicago, the
storm center of Illinois politics, that he
is about to tackle Governor Deneen,
who is DESTROYS of a second term, and
that a meeting Of the old Yates retain
ers has been called to formulate plans
of campaign. AS heretofore stated in
these letters, ex-senator William E.
Mason, who was defeated for re-elec-
ton by A. j. Hopkins, has SHE'D his
castor into the ring and proposes to
make it hot for his conqueror. So, on
the whole, there is quite likely to be
something doing in the next eighteen
months in the state Of Lincoln and
Douglas, Leonard SWEET and Long John
Wentworth, Lyman Trumbull and Gen
eral Shields, Black Jack Logan and
John NJ. Palmer, e. D. Baker and
Dick Yates the first. OF course Uncle
Joe's presidential boom Will add inter-
est to the proceedings. Everybody over
there seems to be for him. Even Uncle
Shelby, who had presidential aspira-
lions in 1896, has declared for Uncle
Joe, which goes to show that Uncle
Shelby is not akin to Aesop's dog, which
lost a Juicy bone already in possession
BY grabbing at a shadow in the water.
OF course Uncle Shelby would be de-
lighted to be president. Who would
not? But he has a seat in the senate
nailed down for life and evidently be-
lieyes, with one of his most brilliant
constituents, the late Nathaniel c. Dry
den, that a bird in the hand is the no
blest work Of God. Those who delight
in hot political stuff should watch
Illinois.

Better Employment.

In the meantime it is pleasant to
learn that while the V. P. is worry
ing about delegates Senator Beyeridge
is preparing his own wedding trous-
seau and will soon be married in gay
Paris.
In the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love"
Guess Tennyson was right. Senator
Beverage is not exactly young, but
he is not old to hurt. Notwithstand-
ing his political yagaries, everybody
will wish him well in his matrimonial
venture We may wool each other
about politics, but in such matters as
falling in love and getting married we
can all sympathize with each other
And Governor james X. vardaman
of Mississippi stopped running for the
United States senate against John
Sharp Williams long enough to join
the church at a great revival in Jack
son. Let US hope that the fiery gov
ernor will find peace for his soul.
And Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas
has let up on politics long enough to
open a law Office in Little Rock. Safe
to say that the senator will keep one
eye on the political field, though many
Arkansas statesmen would be delight
ed if his law business should engage
all of his time.
And Uncle Joe Cannon is devoting
his time and energies to running a
bank over at Danville while his son-in-
law, who is generally the manager, is
rusticating in Europe, but it may be
safely assumed that your Uncle Joseph
is not neglecting his presidential boom
entirely.
And Secretary Taft is swinging
around the circle enjoying himself.

Not For Winfield.

While sundry statesmen are strain
ing every nerve to bag a presidential
nomination Admiral Schley has once
more let it be known that he wants
no nomination and is a candidate for
no Office The presidential bee is not
bothering him. In one respect that is
positive loss to literature. Only
think what q nominating speech Sen
ator Isidor Rayner would make for
his hero. 1t would rank with Bob In
gersoll's ''plumed knight" speech nom
mating Blaine. with the speeches
of General James A. Garfield and Colo
mel William Jennings Bryan nominat-
ing themselves and with Roscoe
Conkling's speech nominating General
Grant So the hero of Santiago is de-
priving the world Of an oratorieal treat
worth a journey across the continent
to hear but no doubt he viii live
longer and be happier to eschew poll
tics
IFS a peculiar fact that, while Amer
leans make national heroes of their
successful naval commanders. not one
Of them has ever been nominated for
the presidency. while they are fond
of nominating successful generals not
withstanding the fact that the navy is
more popular than the regular army.
Why it is thus respectfully submit to
psychologists.
In connection with Admiral Schley
there is another fact Of interest. Usu-
ally to be named for a great man is
sort of handicap but General Winfield
Scott had two namesakes who rose to
equal distinction with himself General
Hancock and Admiral Schley. both IN
the fighting line The hankering for
the presidency pestered Hancock about
as much as it did Scott. but Schley
Is immune

Bad News Fer Vice President Fairbanks
1t has been generally assumed that
as a matter of course everybody in In
diana is for Vice President Fairbanks
for president, but the latest news from
Hoosierdom seems TO contradict that
theory. 1t is. said that Senator Bever-
idge is secretly incubating boom of
his own and that Ex-Governor Durbin
is DESTROYS of seeing the presidential
nomination go elsewhither, SO that the
may himself capture the vice presiden-
tial nomination. OF course Hon. Harry
S. New, chairman Of the Republican
national committee, is not enamored Of
the Hon. Charles Warren. The In
dianapoIis Sun shows signs of kicking
out of the traces, and so it goes. Folks
who can remember for twenty seyen
years back will perhaps recall the why
and wherefore of John Sherman's fail
ure to capture the presidential nomina-
ton. 4 split or unfaithful Ohio dele
cation always did the work for John,
who painted for the presidency even as
the hare panteth for the water brook.
History may repeat itself as to Fair

such compulsion. Practically IN this
country they are shut out of public
place, particularly from elective public
place. OF course occasionally a pluto
crat of mature years purchases a gov
ernorship or a seat in the senate of the
United States, but that only serves to
render all the greater the prejudice
against rich men in politics. Very
rarely one gets into the more numerous
branch Of congress. There some of
them have rendered valuable and con-
spicuous seryiee-for instance, Mr.. Hit
Of Illinois, Mr.. Sibley Of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Newlands of Nevada, Mr.. Dalzell
of Pennsylvania and a few others.

A peIiqhtfuI Trip.

Not long since made a three weeks
lecture tour through Alabama, Georgia
and Florida. What strikes every visit
or to Dixie is the amazing development
Of her physical resources and the
growth of her cities and towns. On
every hand one hears talk Of greater
Nashville, greater Birmingham, a
greater Montgomery, a greater Atlanta.
greater Tampa. etc. The towns are
growing rapidly as Jonah's gourd vine
and far more substantially. Mills, fac
tories. schools, colleges, waterworks,
gas plants, electric light plants, street
car systems, sewer systems, libraries
in fact all the adjunets of modern civil
lization are springing up in bewilder-
ing. confusion. 1t is safe to say that
before the end of this century the
south will be the richest portion of the
habitabIe globe. Nature did marvels
for her, and man is about to do his
share. She has an asset Of incaleulable
value in her water powers, another in
her timber and minerals, another in
her practical monopoly in raising cot
ton, and she is now manufacturing
much OF it. Her spindles are constant
~ and rapidly multiplying, and from
spinning cotton yarns she is making
the finest cotton fabrics. In all history
there is 10 tale more amazing and
more inspiriting than the physical re-
crHdescence of the south. Now she is
beginning once more to pay much at
tention to her educational Institutions
