a Reoruanized Party.

Sufficient has developed at the Chicago
convention to establish the fact that
the Republican party has been complete
ly reorganized.
With the Democratic party in 1896 re-
organization was volcanic. With the
Republican party in 1908 it is systematic.
In both cases it is complete. The Demo-
Gratis who disagreed with their party
platform of 1896 and united with the
Republicans in opposition to what was
then termed anarchism, populism, and
socialism are now indeed doubly political
orphans, since the foster parent has taken
plank after plank of the platform which
they rejected and made it the platform
of the Republican party.
This is time when conditions should
be squarely faced and situations calmly
and coolly discussed.
The conservative Republican leaders of
today have no more influence with the
masses of the Republican party than
have the boilers of 1896 with the Demo-
cratic party of the last twelve years.
They are tolerated only if they vote for
principles they oppose and for men who
stand for all they object to. The Repub-
lican party is reorganized on precisely
tire same lines of thought and action as
was the Democratic party of 1896.
The Ohio and Potomac rivers mark the
boundaries between Eastern views and
those of the remainder of the country.
A Kansas Democrat is far closer now in
political ideas to a Kansas Republican
than he is to those of Democrat of
New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania.
The adherents of Knox or the followers
of Hughes have no more standing in the
Republican convention this year, under
the suddenly enforced rule of the COM
bined South and West, than had the men
under the lead of Harrity Hill, Whitney,
Flower, and Russell, of Massachusetts,
in the Democratic convention of 1896.
The country is no longer willing to adopt
Eastern views in political matters. and
it has, through the Democratic, the
Independence, and now the Republican
party, thrown off Eastern control. The
South and the West are in political
alliance, and control all existing political
organizations. Their representatives are
in closer touch with the masses of their
people than are those of the East, and
are more amenable to the wishes of in
dividual voters and local situations than
are those who rely upon corporate inter-
ests or political machines for approval
and reelection. The distrust of Eastern
politicians, of Eastern measures, and of
Eastern methods has increased steadily
since 1898.
1t was this distrust, grown to positive
antagonism, which was the prime factor
in the revolution within the Democratic
party which eliminated in the national
convention of 1896.
The same latent distrust was present
in the Republican ranks of the South and
the West, but dormant until the recent
exposures of Eastern political and bust
ness methods, and the open antagonism
of the President to those methods gave
the opportunity and the leadership to
renounce and denounce them.

outbid that of Chicago in concessions to

About Ingratitude.

Cour d A1ene Press: Ingratitude is fully
pressed in that sad, but true and familiar line
snatched from the of the poets, which tells
that MANS nhumanity to man make countless thous
ands mourn" This is of the fruits of ingrattude,
which, like a two-edged sword, cuts both ways.
Although the migrate may become so hardened as to
condone his acts in smohered conscience still there
is silent whisper which to him in the still and
quiet hours of meditation and causes twinge of
guish for the wrongs he has done friend who
went to his rescue in the hour of dire extremity.
Who among us has not had the cup of ingratitude
placed to his lips and drunk of its bitterness to the
dregs? Who has has not gone aside in the pathway
of life to favor the friend OF today and found him the
enemy of tomorrow poised for speeding the poisoned
of ngratitude into the trusting heart? lngrat1-
ude bghts the life of its unfortunate posSesSor and
withers the confidence of the betrayed IN humanity,
causing heartaches which time that leveler of grefs
and woes, not efface Have you ever exerted
yourself-perhaps months or years-tor the sake
of in whom you had confidence to find that their
prostations of friendship, which appealed to your
better nature, proved to be shallow sham in which
your confidence is betrayed and your kindness is
forgotten? That is ingratitude, word that defines
the acts of a thing possessed of the human form
divine. The thief may have some redeeming quality;
the highwayman will return to you a rellc or the
incendiary may burn your home, yet the hearts OF
these criminals, and that of the murderer may
be touched by the milk of human Kindness but that
of the migrate is untouched by any of the feelings
that prompt the better nature His is heart of stone
he possesses conscience that is petrifed and mind
which forgets those who have been his best friends

community with a soul so shrveled and conscience
so scared that he can not hide himself from public

overdrawn the picture? We think not, because

Of her day, and it is related that gen.

lady at play and, being obliged to
leave town suddenly, gave Mr. Fox the
money to pay her, begging him to apol-
ogize to her for his not having paid
the debt of honor in person. Fox lost
every shilling of 1t before morning.
Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed
debtor afterward and, surprised that
he never noticed the circumstances, at
length delicately limited the matter to

A GHOST STORY.
The Spectral Horseman That Visits
Wycollar Hall.

Vy%S"@t
This ghost story Is contributed by
correspondent Of an English magazine:
"Wycollar Hall, near Colne, was long
the seat Of the Cunliffes Of Ellington.
They were noted persons In their time.
but evil days came. and their ancestral
estates passed out of their hands. In
the days of the commonwealth their
loyalty cost them dear. and ultimately
they retired to Wycollar with rem
nant only of their once extensive prop
erty. About 1910 the last OF the fami-
" passed away. and the hall Is now a
mass Of ruins. Little but the antique
fireplace remains entire, and even the
room alluded to In the following
legend cannot now be identified. Ira
dition says that once every year q
specter horseman visits Wycoilar Hall.
He is attired in the costume of the
early Stuart period. and the trappings
Of his horse are Of most uncouth de-
scription.
"On the evening OF his visit the
weather is always wild and tempestu-
Gus. There Is no moon to light the
lonely roads, and the residents Of the
district do not venture out Of their
cottages When the wind bowls loud
est the horseman can be heard DASH
ing up the road at full speed. and. aft
er crossing the narrow bridge. he sud-
denly stops at the door OF the hall.
The rider then dismounts and makes
his way up the broad oaken stairs into
one of the rooms Of the house. Dread
full screams, as from woman, are
then heard, which soon snbside into
groans. The horseman then makes his
appearance at the door. at once mounts
his steed and gallops of.
His body can be seen through by
those who may chance to be present:
his horse appears to be wild with rage,
and its nostrils stream with fire. The
tradition Is that one Of the Cunliffes
murdered his wife in that room and
that the specter horseman is the ghost
Of the murderer, who is doomed to pay
an annual visit to the home OF his
victim. She is said to have predicted
the extinction of the family, which,
according to the story, has been liter
ally fulfilled
