Human Nature, Prejudice
and Politics in English
Elections.

TONS to come time next month
There question but much of the great of the
in Britain is due to infamous discrimination in
favor of the titled rich in the matter of taxation. The
house Of lords has always blocked tax REFORM the prop
ery of said lords being practically untaXed Not only this
but the lords personally a great part of the land,
which is held in preserves that productive of little
my lords recreation in estates wherein the
extorton and other abuses of the most landlord
ism prevail.
One would think that given the franchise, the
people would vote out such conditions at the first
opportunity But the average Britisher is less
worspper of titles and slow to set aside the old order of
things for one Besides while the house of lords has
consistently stood in the way of tax reform it has been
equally mmovabe in the matter of granting anything inn
portan to Ireland Beyond doubt this fact will be used to
Influence the English voteE Politics wins prejudice
about often anything sensible patriotic,
a notable example being the Solid South" of own
country wherein vast territory goes reliably and
larry Democratic very largely for the that 80 years
ago the Republican party espoused abolition of human
slavery.
We will surely hear more of T. P. OConnor's declara-
ton that adjustment of the British house of lords will
finally mean the emancipation of Erin 1t is inhumane
and rascaly to bring down upon grave and great
just taxation such prejudice But it's politics, and
that sene obstructive house of lords has evidently got to
play every card in its hand for all it's worth in order to
save itself from oblteration, this time.

The case of Mr.. and Mrs. Spyder

CAREER OF THE LATE L. T. ATWOOD, ONE OF
THE FOREMOST NEWSPAPERMEN.

Lemual True Atwood, who died
at Cincinnati Tuesday night, was
born in Abingdon, Mass, September
II. 1852. While he was still boy
the family removed to central Ken
lucky. near Georgetown, where he
met Kate kenton, descendant of an
old Kentucky family, who in after
years became his wife.
He was educated in the public
schools Of Massachusetts, Kentucky
Illinois and Ohio. BY hard work
and great economy he was able to
take the law course in the Univer-
sity of Michigan at Ann Arbor,
graduating in 1876.
He settled in Dayton, KY, across
the river from Cincinnati, and en-
gagged in the practice of the law.
The following year, his boyhood's
romance eliminated In his mar.
riage.
For the next six years he prac-

tween them which continued I'M

cloak of a modest and retiring man
ner Mr.. Atwood's abilities were
soon recognized. His untiring en-
orgy. the courage which he showed
during the last great smallpox cpl
demic and the court house riots in
Cincinnati during the eighties, and
his steady development as a news
paper man, marked him for promo
tion from one position to another.
In 1889 the Scripps newspapers

pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive

Cure is taken internally, acting di-

surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-

The tongue that first whispered BABY dear'' that

baby world seemed to overwhem you.
The tongue that prayed to Your God and her God for
you long before you could lisp prayer and oftener after
wards than you have yourself.
The tongue that defended you when YOU accused,
and nterceded for you when you convicted
This is the tongue for tests and eers!
The tongue of the dearest girl in the world; the
tongue that mothered your babes that gave you most
companionship encouragement, greatest soace be-
fore you left the home in the morning and after YOU

Much of our humor is cmeltypure undisgused cruelty
worthy of less civilized people. Much of wit is

st. Louis Star, was added to his
duties as editor of the Post.
In 1886 e. w. Scripps, George H.
Scripps and M. A. McRae formed
the Scripps-McRea League of News
papers. The office of editorial SUI
perintendent of these newspapers
was created, and Mr.. Atwood was
selected from the brilliant corps of
editors to fill the position. and per-
formed its duties until 1902.
In 1900 the death of George Fl.
Scripps caused a vacancy in the
financial end of the Scripps- McRae
League. and Mr.. Atwood was elect
ed to that position. From that time
until ineapacitated by his illness
he handled the finances of the
Scripps concerns, and in addition
held other positions of great trust
and responsibility. Even where he
was not personally known to the
employees of the Scripps papers, his
name was the synonym of integrity.

 he left the city. He has a host of friends who will be pleased to greet him again.
 GUiSE'S BROTHER WIRES-A telegram was received yesterday from James A. Guise. a brother of George Guise, the prospector who met his death Wednesday by a fall down d shaft at the Union mine in the Wini- fred district. Guise wired the city marshal. asking for information in regard to his brothers death. He had learned of if through a telegram from

 PREMIUMS FOR POULTRYMEN- All checks for premiums awarded ex- hibitors in the poultry and pet stock department of the territorial fair have been mailed.

The member seemed to be almost help less. He said he was suffering from paralysis. His right arm also seemed to be affected. There was sus- picion. however. that his helplessness was partially assumed. for the right foot was brought down when walk ing with unusual force and noise. Now. since he has been in jail, Bon ner's infirmity has entirely disap- peared. He has hung up his cane | and is one of the most active pris- oners in jail.

 EXPOSITION A FINE SUCCESS C. J. McElroy received a letter yes terday from J. $. Griffin. who is one of the Phoenix men representing the valley in the land and irrigation ex- position in Chicago. Mir Griffin writes that the paid admissions dur ing the first week of the exposition totaled 2S.000. which is an evidence of the fine success of it, for it is such an exposition as few would care to attend except they were quite in- terested in the development of the west, many of them having their eyes on western sections as q prospective home. But that is not the best part of it nor is mere attendance the only evidence of interest. Mir. Grif- fin says that the inquiry concerning the features of western conditions only hinted at by the displays is great. The displays mere ly arouse curiosity and the visitors generally seek the representatives in charge for further information. He says that lots of people having been interested in the Salt River valley display have made inquiry. taken literature and departed. expressing their determination to go home and organize scouting parties to come and look the country over. MT. Grif- fin says he has himself a list of over fifty persons who have promised to come here during the winter and look the country over. and most of them express their belief that they will not come alone. His experience. he says, is not unlike that of others He is really surprised at the amount of interest the exposition is arousing among the actual homeseeking class.
