1t is popularity supposed that bishops
possess the power of self control IN d
perfect degree, but sometimes the best.
Of them disclose the fact that, after all.
they are but men.
On one occasion certain lord bisll-
op. eloquent and sanity, whose name:
is almost household word In Eng:
land, was preaching ut the opening Of
u new church and for II few days
stayed ut country house in the neigh!
bofliood. This bishop was excessively
fond of game Of billiards and could
hold his own on the cloth against the
majority of amateurs.
During this visit his lordship played
several quiet games with his host, but
one morning had prolonged run Of
bad luck, which so exasperated him
that ut last he entirely lost his temper
and i'll his rage snapped the cue in two
across his knee.
This mad action seemed to bring the
bishop to his senses, and with profuse
regrets he apologized to his host for
his conduct. declaring that he would
not have had 1t happen for the world
But the host coolly replied:
II must beg you. my lord. to think
no more about the matter. am really
glad that 1t occurred. as for many
years have been wishful to see what
bishop was like when be wanted to
use bad languagc"-London TIT Bits.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The New York Journal has car.
toon showing Standard Oil can ia
king the place of the dome in pic.
ture of the capitol at Washington.
Good. It is another evidence that the
people do not rule at Washington, but
that the trusts rule through the agency
of the Republican party. AS to legis-
lation, Mr.. Sherman, candidate for
vice-president. said: The Republican
party is willing and ready Ito accept
full responsibility" Exactly, and the
Standard oil and other trusts rule
through that party. The only way to
prevent such rule Is to elect Bryan.
The Methodist conferences continue
to denounce Speaker Cannon because
he refuses to let proposed laws have
hearing. 1t is all right to vote
against Cannon for his dictation as to
what legislation shall or shall not be
considered, but It is essential also to
vote out the Republican party that
makes Cannon's boss-ship possible. De.
feat of Cannon is good, but would not
remedy the situation unless the Re-
publicans are turned out. II Republi-
cans win, and Cannon is defeated, the
same iron rules will be carried out by
Sherman or Dalzell. or some other
Republican pupil Of Cannon.
The Republican National Commit,
tees denies it has received this year a
dollar from the Standard OIL Com
pany, or any subsidiary corporation.
Having said who is NOT putting up
the money, now let them tell us who
is putting it up under oath. Will they
do 1t?
The Republican National Committee
says 1t gets no money from the Stand.
ard Oil Company. Does that concern
then give Its money direct to Republi-
can candidates?
The letters from Standard OIL mag
nate prove that the people do not
rule. They may have bought some
Democrats, but the party they own
is the party that gives them tariff
bounty and has let them defy the laws
the party that controls the federal
government.
Mr.. Roosevelt, says Mr.. Woodruff.
thinks the alleged finding of 100000
in the Democratic treasury queer"
But the good Ell. Harrfman's gift Of
$264, 900 to the Republican campaign
fund four years ago looked to the
same eyes perfeetly straight and nor

has been shown that the Democratic
committee got not cent and that Mr..
Roosevelt gave currency to false
charge. He admitted that Hartman

working together.
