Kittredge Blisters His Feet.

Senator Kittredge in his speech in
Canton last Saturday said he had
made blisters on his feet tramping
around Washington looking after the
interests of the people.
A gentleman in the audience from
Nebraska remarked at the close of
the speech: 81 don't know much
about your politics or politicians but
from what do know about senators
in Washington / consider that state
ment as stupid falsehood." He was
answered by another party in this
way $50 far as the people are con-
cerned, there is no question but the
statement is stupid and unnecessary.
Ii he ever gets blisters on his feet in
Washington, you can bet your last
dollar that he was doing business for
the railroads because the railroads
made him what he is and Mark Han
ma put him on the canal committee,
and Mark knew better than any
body else whom the corporations had
use for.

Him three times.
And we believe every man In the
state outside of Kit and few follow
ers, is willing to believe that the
president made no mistake after he
and his cabinet had Investigated the
charges formulated by men interested
In shielding the land grabbers and
timber thieves. Does any unprejudiced
citizen believe the President would
nominate Bristol three times unless
he was sure, beyond any doubt, that
his man was square. Mr.. Kittredge's
80 minute defense of his record in the
Bristol case leads one to the conclu-
sion that he is in mighty hot water.
We believe the president; the stall
warts can believe Kit if they want to.
There is nothing in the entire Bris-
tol case but what one would expect
from a corporation source, and Mr.,
Kittredge can never convince anyone
that the president was wrong and he
was right. Every record in the de-
partment of justice proves that Bris-
tol was fit man to prosecute the
timber thieves; there is nothing to
support the land thieves opposition
to Bristol only a letter which has
been proved false.
There are Thousand men in this
state just as able as Kittredge and we
don't believe one of them would have
questioned the Presidents motives In
nominating man to prosecute the
timber thieves of Oregon. Mr.. Kilt.
redge may defend his record in this
case but people only smile as he tells
/ it.
/ 4 But let US be as charitable as we
can, for a man with blistered feet is
liable to do almost anything, and per
haps Kits feet were badly blistereG
every time the president sent Bris
tolls name to the senate.

REPORT IN FAVOR
OF Ten BISHOPS
New Thought Committee WIFI
Report in Favor Of Larger Mum
Der Than Expected.

BALTIMORE, MD, May 1s.---1t is re-
ported Tonight on what seems excel
llent authority that the report Of tile
committee on the ep,scopacy, which
Will be presented 10 the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference to.n,or-
row, Will recommend the election OF
ten bishops. Hitherto 1t has been gem
orally believed that the number recom-
mendcl would be eight. but within the
past few days, owing to- the publication
Of figures showing the great cost OF the
episcopucy, the impression has become
prevalent that the number OF bishops
elected would be less than eight. While
the sessions of the committee are pri-
t.vate, 1t Is understood that portion OF
the committee favored recommending
that seven bishops be elected, while
| tho remainder advocated ten, and that
the latter have prevailed.
Tho present bishops are said to have
favored smaller number than any
OF those mentioned-six. In point OF
| fact. However, there seems proba-
bility that when the report. Is laid
before the conference. the number nn-
ally decided upon and elected Will be
eight.

Second only in interest to the cleo
ton OF bishops, perhaps, Is the final
action on the paragraph OF the church
discipline relating to amuscments.
touching which the address OF tho
bishops recommended the excision Of
dancing. card-playing and certain oti1-
err words from the paragraph BY
decisive vote. the Committee on tho
state OF the church. to which the mat
Ter was referred. to-day decided 10

II now stands. and thus negatived the
recommendation OF the, bishops. The
