funny Climax to an Angling Expert
enee Of General GaIIifet.
Long ago, in the days of the second
empire, General Gallifet was the aid
de-camp Of Napoleon III. At st. Cloud
his quarters were just over the i'm
perial bedroom. Everything around
him was very grand and very gloomy.
The window Of his room looked upon
the pond that washed the walls Of the,
chateau. The water was clear andl
the surrounding scenery was beautiful, |
but the young lieutenant felt like a |
prisoner. Early one morning, while
seated at his window trying to drive
away the blues with a cigar, he espiedl
below in the crystal water an enor-
nous carp. The instinct of the angler,
strong in Gallifet, made the young
mans eyes snap and set bis heart
thlQbbing. .
The big fish was the private property
Of the emperor. Consequently for Gal
lifet it was forbidden fish. But it was
such fine fellow! The resistance Of
the soldiers conscience was useless. It
surrendered Internationally. The re-
naming part Of the campaign against
the carp was simple enough. Gallifet
went to his trunk, brought out his
trusty line, to which he fastened
hook and an artificial bait With his
accustomed skill he cast his line. The
carp was hooked and hauled in through
the window. #.'~: +
Here the lieutenanrs fun ended and
his trouble began. The fish, landed
upon table, overturned large globe
filed with water and caromed from
that to magnificent vase, which it
also upset and smashed to pieces upon
the floor. Then it began to execute a
genuine pas de carpe among the smith
Greens.
The emperor, hearing the strange
racket overhead and seeing the water
trickling through the ceiling, was as
tonished. He rushed upstairs to find
out what was the matter. Gallifet
heard him coming and endeavored to
grab the carp and throw it out of the
window and thus destroy the evidence
Of his poaching in the imperial pond.
But the slippery thing was hard to
hold, so he tossed it into bed and
covered it up with the bedclothes.
When the emperor entered the room,
he noticed Immediately the quivering
bedclothes He pulled them down and
uncovered the fioundering fish. His
majesty's face assumed an almost jim
jamie expression, which gradually
faded into a faint smile. He took in
the entire situation, saluted and left
the future war minister to mediate
upon the mysteries Of fsherman's
luck.

An independence Day Episode.

Celebrating under disappointment"
is what one might properly term the
Fourth of July experiences of one of
our well-known rural citizens and his
wife. There being no celebration at
home, these worthy people from the
country decided to spend the day with
friends and relatives in a German
community near Arlington. Four
O'Clock in the morning was the hour
scheduled for their departure, but as
i'll luck would have it they missed their
train. Then they determined on going
on the train which leaves here at two
O'Clock in the afternoon. At Airing
ton carriage was on hand to meet
and convey them into the country, but,
as one man tells the story, ten hours
of anxious waiting had made the eyes
of our ruralite friends heavy with
sleep, and long before the hour of ar
rival at their destination nature had
yielded to the strain. When they
awoke they were nearing the Irish viii

chagrin upon looming to-" their
German friends enjoying themselves
twenty miles away; they, provoked,
tired and disguised strangers in a

The Corporation Disease.

It is d regretable fact that men will
commit ofenses when acting for cor
poration that they would decline to
commit for individuals; that men who
would not share in the dishonest gains
of partner will accept the tainted
dividends of directory that men who
would not bride public official for
themselves will for company corrupt
a legislature.
Public disapproval exposure by
the press-conviction by the courts
have less terror when shared by all
the members Of a company than when
borne by an individual. This lower
standard Of morality, this duller SEN
sibility, makes the state-made corpor-
alton a danger to the nation.
The corporation is able to buy, to
sell, to manufacture, to compete, to
sue at law, to recover, to convey, to
hold, to gain, and to accumulate. It
may have financial strength far ex-
ceeding that of an individual; endur-
ance, when necessary, infinitely greater
than mortal life; power colossal in
comparison to mans, and, when ad-
visable, death and disappearance COM
plete as oblivion.
All power that the state can confer
the corporation may possess. For the
attributes Divine, it has no faculties.
It has no hope Of life beyond the grave,
no fear OF retribution in another world
it has no soul, it has no conscience; it
cannot pity, sorrow Or repent.
When a financial or an Industrial
monster SO constituted becomes infu-
entail in the government, the tone OF
the nation is debased.
The material triumph of this gener-
alton is the success of corporate enter
prise, but political influence by cor
porate wealth is the disease of the
country. Our republic, safe from re.
bellion, is undermined by it's own cor.
porate creatures.
Recognition of this fact is not at.
tack upon wealth. but is first neces-
sity in defense of a government by the
people.

The Wrong Bird.

One of the we'll known magicians
not along ago had queer experience,
but the people in the theater had more
fun out Of it than he did. One of his
tricks was to shake sack to show
that it was empty and then to draw
out Of it an egg, after which he would
always reach in again and bring out
the hen that laid the egg. OF course
he had to have help in this, and one
night he had a new man who did
everything just as he had been told
until it came to this act. Reaching
into the bag, he drew forth the fowl
at the usual time, but instead Of the
hen an old rooster hoped down on to
the stage, rufaed its feathers and
strutted around. growing with all it's
might, while the audience laughed
and the magician went out to hunt his
new helper.-London Opinion.

A. Johnson to the consideration OF the
democratic national convention in
Denver, Congressman Winfield Scott
Hammond spoke in part as follows:
''F'rom each of the great galaxy of
commonwealths constituting the union
come the delegates of an earnest and
impatient people-earnest in their
determin alton that public wrongs shall
be speedily righted, that corrupt prac-
tees shall cease and that civic
righteousness shall prevail. Impatient
at the policy of delay and postpone
ment pursued by the political party
now in control of all departments of
the federal government, and impatient
at the frivolous excuses and apologies
of the republican party for its mac
ton and it's neglect to perfect neces-
sary legislation.
'The power to defeat progressive
and reformatory measures favored by
the great majority of the men of the
land has been lodged in the hands Of
a coterie of reactionary politicians
who exercise it to further partisan
ends and to serve special interests re-
CARELESS alike of the needs of the ma
ton and the demands of the people.
Against this deliberate delay in the
performance of public duty, against
political corruption, against the en-
trenchments of lawless wealth and
against the deliverance of the rights
of the people and their chosen repre-
sentatives into the possession of a
triumvirate out of sympathy with the
people, the democratic party sets it's
face and prepares for a mighty con-
flict. Again proclaiming for all
equality, for none special favor, it
enters upon the contest with the con-
seriousness of being right and with the
assurance of being victorious.
''The great north star state, midway
between the two oceans and at the
head Of the great valley of the Miss
issippi, comes here with message to
deliver and record to disclose. She
has a son whom she loves and has sig
nally honored, and she can not better
aid in the great work that lies before
US than in Offering to US as a leader
that honored citizen of the state.
Thousands upon thousands of the
men and women of this country were
born in other lands and under other
flags. The opportunities to be found
in this land, the broad principles upon
which our form of government rests,
the freedom of action and the security
of life and property here attracted
them so irresistibly that they left the
homes of their fathers and came to
live with US, to pray for the nations
welfare when there is peace and to
fight for the nations honor when there
is war. They became Americans. It

The Democratic Nominee.

The inevitable has happened. Will
liam Jennings Bryan, the leader OF
his party in two memorable, but an
successful struggles for the presidency,
has been nominated for a third test of
strength, and that, too, in frenzy OF
enthusiasm unequalled in the history
Of political conventions.
That the outcome Of the pre-conven-
ton campaign was to have been ex-
pected the Review will not attempt to
deny.
Neither will it attempt to disguise
its disappointment.
1t looked upon this, under certain
conditions, as democratic year, and
one of those conditions it felt to be the
naming of candidate without the
handicap of former defeats.
So believing, it cherished the hope
that the choice might fall upon wor-
thy and favored son of our own great
state.
But the democrats of the nation
thought differently Bryan's personal
activity and desires may have had
something to do with the focusing of
sentiment in his favor, but, however
that may be, the fact remains that ex
pediency was thrown to the winds.
Almost unanimously the states conce-

nomination by virtue of the right of
previous service.
AS Augustus Thomas put it, they
saw in him "a leader who in fair
weather and in storm, in bivouac and
Ia battle, had been of abiding faith
and inspiring courage. In the dark
days of Valley Forge when Americas
enemies CHARTERED in the nations cap
itol were wrapped in warmth and fed
with plenty; when faint heart and tory

enemies of the people have revelled in
unearned luxury and while tory and
conservative have counse1led COM
promise, Bryan has gridironed Amer
lea, travelling wherever railroad ran
or a turnpike led, keeping alive the
smoldering camp fires of democracy"
And the Review is not prepared to
dispute the justice of the reward.
Nor is it dismayed when it imparti-
ally surveys the outlook.
Bryan, all must admit, possesses
elements of exceptional strength.
Inherently honest, his heart is with
the people and his brain works in keep
ing with the impulses of his conscience.
Moreover he is running on a plat
form that is thoroughly popular and
essentially democratic. BY contrast
with themeaningless declaration adop-
ted at Chicago it irresistibly impels
men to it's support. 1t gives rise to a
possibility of democratic victory, and
until the candidate wanders away from
it into new fields and after new issues
the Review stands ready and willing
TO follow his lead.

checked and the interests of the state
were not vigilantly guarded. It was
the time for leader to appear, one
who had the confidence Of the people
of the state-whose integrity was I'M
questioned, whose character was
stainless, whose energy and ability
were known; one who had made no
factional enemies, but who had al
ways been loyal in the service of the
state. From no one section, from no
one faction, from no one class came
the call for the man of the hour. 1t
summoned from his modest office the
publisher of a weekly paper, and
around him rallied the remnants of
the democratic party that had so often
struggled in vain against the crush
ing force of republican majorities.
Reunited, inspired with the hope of
victory, they followed this man and
supported him. Not to honor him,
not to crafty his ambition, but to
rouse state from drowsy inaction to
energetic life. In that year President
Roosevelt carried the state by plur-
ality greater than 100000, but the
democratic governor was elected.
1.-Two years ago he was candidate
for reelection. 'One good term de-
serves another was the campaign cry,
and when the ballots were counted it
was found that he had been reelected
by plurality greater than 10000, the
greatest ever given to gubernatorial
candidate in the state.
'Today this man, in the prime of
life, courteous, kind and unpretenti-
Gus, strong, resolute and virile, an
orator of unusual power, who has at
