Many Repudiate Hearst.

From all sections of the country re-
ports are coming showing where men,
bers of Hearst's independent party are
repudiating their leader and flock
ing under the banner of Bryan. In
many instances the Hearst men are
quietly deserving the flock and giving
their strength to democracy, while in
other cases the men have passed reso.
buttons condemning the tactics of
Hearst and indorsing the national dem
|ocratic ticket.
The sensational reputation of
Hearst by National Committeeman
Merrill of Missouri yesterday was evil
dence of this.
In Rochester, n. Y, recently, the
entire state and national ticket backed
by Hearst was repudiated by the Mon
roe county independence league at a
large public meeting.
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed resembling the Endorsement of His
gen and Graves. Those were followed
by resolutions indorsing Bryan and
Kern and the democratic state ticket

Holt says chat the promoters of the
new party have entered into a conspir

Tariff Sidelights.

One interesting feature of the pro-
tective tariff is that more than 40 of
the entry ports where Uncle Sans Off
Gals collect customs don't take in
enough to pay the salary of the Off
GERS. Why should it be necessary to
maintain at Brownsville, Tex, force
of 26 officials at an annual cost of
$4,000 to collect s4,S5O in dues?
What Is the sense of system which
pays 1878 at Nantucket for the collec-
ton of $3.50? Why should two GUS
toms officers at Beaufort, S. c., receive
$1,5O9 for gathering $1.55? Would a
business concern run its affairs that
way? Hardly.
Even absolutely free trade England in
five years has paid off 1870, 000, 900 OF
national debt, while Russia, France
Germany and the United States, with
their high protective tariffs, have trou
Bile to make both ends meet. The Ber

cial authority of Germany, representa-
tive of its stock market interests, says

Humor ona Philosophy
By DUNCAN N. SMITH
THE TRUE FRIEND.

] always like to meet the man
Who does not cut and run
Or look for all the world as though
He wished he had gun
Because take him by the hand
And lead him off alone,
Far from The prying eyes of men,
And ask him for loan.
Not in the compliments of speech.
Though words may do their best:
Not in the sweet and honeyed phrase
Does friendship find test.
That friendship is the solid stuff
And has the surest ring
That reaches for its pocketbook
And simply says, Sure thing"
The average man begins to hedge
AID looks around TO find
Some way that he can dodge a touch
And still seem almost kind.
And the excuses that lie makes
Would shame a pirate crew
Before lie pulls a nickel out
Ard asks il that will do.
1t makes fellow feel SO good
To have another say.
Eyes, L can let you have a FIVE"
In such friendly way
As though he were the favored one.
That friend is well worth while
Who meets YOU halfway on a touch
And does it with a smile.
The Pessimist.
"What's the matter:"
Company coming"
Don't you like them?"
"Oh, yes, but it means q big feed TO-
night"
Don't you like that?"

NwaI -
sied
Disappeared About 80 Days
Ago and No Information
as to Whereabouts,

Has Charles P. LOckhart flew the
coop" for good and quit the Arizona
mining field for a fairer cline? That
is the question which has been troub-
ling a number of Phoenix people for
the past several weeks. Mr.. Lockhart
was interested in the reopening and
working OF the Phoenix mine which
closed down sometime ago. He left
Phoenix rather UNEXPECTEDLY and told
not even his partner or most conf
DENTAL friends where he was going.
That has rather complicated matters.
G. F. Goerner came down from Cave
creek Saturday. He had not heard
from his partner in the Phoenix mine
lease Nj. Lockhart. Mr.. Goerner
states that no definite action on his
part has yet been decided upon, but
that there are two propositions on foot
one for q syndicate of Mr.. GOerners
friends to take Mr.. Lockhart's place
and continue the business. The other
is a plan TO dismantle the plant and
sell all machinery, equipment and ma
terial TO a free milling property in
Mexico, patent the Phoenix claims
and let them lie idle for some future
purchaser, one being already in sight.
There is a possibility that the prop
-erty may be worked again late in the
fall. but owing to Mr.. LockhaTt going
away and not communicating with his
partner. it leaves the outcome mat
ter of doubt.
