CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
POLITICAL MENUS

A N expeetant country still awaits
~ with exemplary patience overdue
AA explanations from the Republican
party. This is a delicate subject. Let
us handle it as tenderly as possible.
Deal gently with the erring. Here is
a hypothetical question, something like
those that lawyers in celebrated cases
are fond of arranging:
Let US suppose that you were asked
TO change your boarding house, to
come and board with a fellow across
the way from your old boarding place;
suppose the fellow across the way but
tonholed you every time you came out
of the old boarding house, and said,
jeeringly, "Well, what did they feed
you tonight? Onion soup! Don't deny
it. I smell it on your breath. And
corned beef and cabbage! Don't con.
tradict me! There is a bit of incrim-
mating evidence on your lapel Before
I'd stay and pay roast beef and ice
cream prices at a place where they
fed me corned beef and cabbage every
night-aw! shucks."
And suppose you yielded to the i'm
portunitfes of the fellow across the
way, and gave him a months board
in advance, and went to board with
him, and that. night after night, at
dinner time. he gave you beans, beans
and more beans, beans la Boston,
beans baked, beans boiled, bean au
soup, beans a la mode, beans au nat
urel, beans on the half shell, and beans
in the pod; beans, beans, beans, until
you began to get beans on the brain
and couldn't go to bed without dream
ing about them, and suppose you told
him that your soul abhorred beans and
they were a WEAKNESS OF your flesh,
and suppose he tried to persuade you
that you were merely a victim of hall
lucinations, or that if you were not,
the other boarding house keeper would
treat you worse; or suppose, finally,
when you were exasperated enough to
tell him to avaunt and quit your sight,
his bones being marrowless (as Shake
speare says), he assured you that the
bean diet was really the fault of the
fellow across the way: that If you went
back to him he would feed you even
worse, because he woud give you last
years beans, wouldn't you say:
"Confound you! (or words to that ef-
fecD. Let go of me (for he would be
holding on, first to your coat sleeve,
and then to your coat collar). l want
to go back to the old boarding house;
1t was good enough for me-" and
wouldn't you be exactly in the plight
of your Uncle Samuel at present, who
has had to eat Republican beans ad
nauseam, and is now being told by
Republican orators that he might as
well prepare himself for four years
more of beans? Beans! beans! beans,
Prosperity beans are buncombe. 1t Is
high time that Uncle Sam went home
to the old boarding house, where, al
though the bill OF fare is plain, the
food is varied and plentiful. The Re
publican menu card is printed in Del
monico language, But under every
fancily named dish there turks the
same old beam How Republicans can
think in terms of beans and talk in
terms of pate de foie gras is what
puzzles everybody excepting a wise
acre who really understands Repub-
licans and Republicanism-if there is
such a man.

Williams's Pocket When
Body DangIed from Tree.

DOVER, Del July 16.-state Attor-
ney Thomas Heating is today, with
Deputy Coroner Faulkner, at work on
several clues which he hopes may solve
the mystery surrounding the murder of
William NJ. Williams, a prosperous
farmer, "a years old. on the eve of his
marriage 10 a 13-year-old girl. His
BODY was found hanging to a tree In a
thicket near the line of Maryland and
Delaware, nine miles from here. and a
%coroner's jury has returned a verdict
declaring the case one of murder, not
suicide.
This is due TO the lead mans head
having been battered. evidently With
some blunt instrument
Tn authorities are working on the
theory that Williams was slain to pre-
vent his marriage to Elizabeth Walls,
the 1~3-year-old daughter of a tenant on
his farm. as it was feared he would
deed his valua BILE property to her. The
license to wed the girl was found in
his pocket.
She is being questioned as to threats
that the wedding would never take
place.

Bryan's Running Mate Is Well
coined to His indianapolis
Home by Great Crowd.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 16.-The city
awakened today to realize that 1t re-
mains famous. The place is trying to
become known as the home of Vice
Presidents. 1t rejoices in its Fair
banks, who is. and Kern, who wan to
be, Vice President, though the house
of Kern is greatly divided against it
self on that proposition.
When John w. Kern returned home
yesterday from Lincoln, he was torn
by conflicting emotions. He knew that
the who'll city was rejoicing in his
nomination, and was waiting to receive
him with ope arms-all but one very
important person, that one being none
other than Mrs. John w. Kern.
Here was a proposition to be ap-
preached with all the tact of diplomacy.
But when he arrived he found Mrs.
Kern and the Kern children awaiting
him on the porch, n the reunion was
affecting.
Mrs. Kern continues to insist tina
she never wanted her husband to be
Vice-President, but that idea probably
will be overcome just as other ques-
lions of domestic polity are overcome in
every family In his broad land.
