LITTLE SCHEME THAT FAILED
Tricksters Should Have Made More
Thorough Investigation of con-
CHEESEMAN'S Affairs.

At the last session of congress
there was a very close division on an
important measure that was pend
ing. A western member was fight
ing the bill with all the yigor at his
command, and his success depended
absolutely on his presence at his
post. A clever member of the oppo-
sition devised scheme whereby the
troublesome man could be lured
away. Accordingly, on the morning
of the day the vote was to be taken a
telegram was sent to the hotel Of the
fighting member. It read: Come
home. Your wife is dangerously
ill., The congressman glanced at it,
read it carefully two or three times,
and then started toward the capitol.
The perpetrator Of the scheme asked
the congressman what the telegram
contained He showed it to him.
S9Fhatw gasped the inquirer,
and in the face Of that you are 60
ing to the capitol?"
Il am" was the cool response.
But don't you feel worried about
your wife ?"
'Not in the least" was the reply.
"Why?" asked the other.
Because" replied the fighting
member, Z have no wife"

Some Time Ruler of Germany Dem.
onstrated the Fact a Short
Time Ago.

The eldest son of the German
crown prince has made his first pub
lie, though unexpected, appearance
in military role quite in keeping
with Hohenzollern traditions. He
is at present Il years old.
The other day pedestrians sfrolling
along Inter den Linden and casting
the usual glance along the windows
Of the crown princes palace, saw
little Wilhelm climb on to the win
dow seat and stand upright on the
seat. lie caught sight Of the crowd
which was rapidly assembling OUT
side and regarded it with benevolent
curiosity.
Presently, shouldering a stick he
carried like a rifle, he atrutted sol
emily backward and forward across
the breadth Of the window, every
now and then stopping to present
arms to the spectators. This Little
comedy had been going On for some
minutes, when suddenly large
hand was thrust out Of the back
ground. It seized the little prince
and ruthlessly and uneeremonioasly
dragged him from the scene.

Republican Organization indorsed.

Al a regular meeting ofthe Moha7k
Social Political and Literary Club
Of New Orleans, La, held in that city
on June i, 1899. the following resolu.
lions were presented by committee
and unanimously adopted BY the club:
whereas. 1T is apparent to the most casual
and superficial observer that the people of Lon
isiana believe in the principle of protection as
enuHciated and applied by the Republican party,
evidences of which are found IN their unstinted
praise OF those members OF the Louisiana dele
cation in congress who have had the courage to
speak and vote with the Republican majority on
this great proposition: and
Whereas, These things portend the triumph of
the Republican party in this state. If the party
be so constituted and managed as to invite the
confidence of the people; and
whereas, NJ believe that the interests of the
party can be best sabseryed as at present eonsti-
tuted and managed; therefore,
Be it resolved that we, the members OF the
Mohawk Republican Club OF colored men Of
Louisiana. depreeate the attempt, under What
ever guise, of So-calied Republicans to discEedit
the party organization by an invidious effort to
usurp its power and authority to recommend
and control the federal patronage of this state.
Ee it further resolved, That we believe that no
e3igency can arise to swerve q loyal Republican
from following, in all things pertaining to the
welfare of the party. the wishes of its constituted
authorities.
Reit further resolved. That we feel tie sincere
thanks OF all true hepuBtlcanS# OF IouisIana are
dEe to Hou. Pearl Wight. Republican national
committeeman for Louisiana, Tor his uncompro-
missing efforts to carry out the wishes of the Re
publieans OF Louisianaas voiced by their e1ecu-
tive committee.
Beit further resolved, That We tender our hearty
thanks to his excellency. President w. Fl. Taft.
for his appointment of those sterling Republic
cans, Hon. w. j.. Behan as postmaster OF New
Orleans and Hon. Louis p Bryant as surveyor
of customs for the same port.
Resolved. That these two gentlemen have our

Be it further resolved. That we are answering
in our allegiance to the regular Republican
party, the chairman of whose state central COM

DIED AS CHILDREN FOUGHT.
Applications of Kansas Rivers Have
Had Little Change from the
Original.

Practically all the streams in
Kansas were named by Indians and
carry those names to this day,
though in an Anglicized form.
The Neosho, the largest stream in
southeast Kansas, has its own little
story. The Usage Indians at one
time lived in Missouri, and when
they began talking Of trading their
lands in that state and moving to
southern Kansas a party was sent
out to look the country over and
make a report on it. It was in the
summer time and very hot and dry
Coming over the prairie northeast Of
Humboldt they had a long way to
travel without water
"When they arrived at the river, !"
says A. t. Dickeflnan of Oswego,
"an Indian rode down to the sloping
bank into the water. But to his
surprise the horse stepped right off
into deep water and tha-hease and
indian went in all over. As the
aborigine clambered back on the
bank he muttered: sWugh Neosho.'
This in plain English means water
pocket, or water hole, and the name
chung to the stream ever afterWard. /"

BEAUTIES OF DESERTS.

Our deserts are to give us some Of
the surprises of the near future, as
DR.. g. R. Keys points out. The arid
regions, Withszan inch to a foot of
rain year, are by no means re-
pulsiVe, but even scientific men are
only just becoming acquainted with
their beauties and possibilities. The
landscape is striking. The deserts
are mountainous, yet the broad
plains are the dominant feature, and
the mountains though bold and lofty,
rise sharply from the level expanse,
The earth as We see it has been
carved By water. The deserts, as has
but lately been diseerned, have been
seulptured and leveled BY the wind,
and the rocks, free from chemical
action, are unweathered. bright and
fresh.

CAUSES OF PROHIBITION.

Discussing the prohibition question.
which is just now the leading topic
with the newspapers of the South, the
Birmingham Ledger says:
There are three kinds of enemies
of the liquor business. One kind is
the number of good people who feel
that it is their business to regulate
other peoples morals, faults and fail
ings.
Another kind is the number of peo-
pie who do not like the chemical fluids
sold for whiskey and beer, which are
poisons and known by the makers to
be poisons. For instance, no whiskey
In the world would have killed Coroner
Paris, but the chemical stuff he drank
for whiskey did kill him. That is an
explanation of some peoples oppo-
sition to liquor. Read the advertise
ments of liquor and nearly every one
will tell you that their liquor is the
only good liquor, or words to that ef-
feet.
Another kind of opposition to the
liquor business is the very large num-
Der of people who are not willing
that the politics, offices and control of
all the cities Of the nation. shall be di.
rected by the liquor interests. There
is no need to argue this. EVERYBODY
who knows anything of politics knows
that nearly every city in the land is
dominated by the liquor interest. Peo-
pie have rebelled against it. States
after state is sweeping it out.

does not follow that the men of the

burg News is correct in condemning II
in the strongest terms at its COM
mand; but The News, in what would
otherwise be pardonable zeal, goes
somewhat too far, and lays itself liable
to the charge of intolerance. 1t is by
no means alone in this respect, and it
is far too ably and intelligently
edited to risk placing itself in posi-
ton to be classed with those unthink-
ing and irresponsible papers whose
chief stock-in-trade is their hide bound
provincialism. Many of these seem to
be obsessed with the idea that Mr..
Taft is the arch enemy Of the South.
and that any other attitude than one
of unrelenting hostility toward him is
treachery, betrayal, and all that is
base and infamous from the point of
view of patriotic Southerner. Luke
Wright and men like him are no trait
ors. The multitude of Southern men,
who, while loyalty supporting local
and state political principles, as most
Of them do, are Republicans on ma
tional questions, can by no means be
classed as TRAITORS" or enemies" or
undesirable citizens. Mr.. Taft is no
enemy of the South. On the contrary.
unless all signs fail, he will be one
of the best friends and strongest allies
it has ever had in the presidents
chair.
To sum up. Mr.. Rhodes offense was
not in his ec)miums on Mr.. Taft, or
his personal Republican sympathies,
but in his presumption in speaking for
all the men of the South, and much
more in the manner Of his speaking.

Cvicksburg American.)

Rufus N. Rhodes, editor of the Bir-
mingham News, made a speech at a
recent reception to Mr.. Taft at Au-
gusta, in which he is said to have
said:
Judge Taft, II you know the head
and heart of the men of the South
you would know that they regard the
result of the late election as a bene-
diction from God Almighty Himself to
the people of the South over their
own protest"
The Hattiesburg News calls this
fragrant tsPdyism and rank bootlick-
ing, and says with bitterness:
"Mississippians will remember that
Edgar S. Wilson performed a similar
political stunt in this state several
years ago, and The News predicts that
Rufus N. Rhodes will be accorded the
same measure of contempt in Alaba-
ma that Wilson has received from
Mississippians."
Mr. Rhodes piled 1t on a little too
thick, He took great deal upon
himself In assuming to voice the SEN
timent of the men of the South"
who. as a mass, would undoubtedly
have told him to speak for himself.
There is no greater offense against
good taste and good sense than full
someness, and 1t must be owned that
Rhodes has sinned in this respect be-
yond forgiveness. A sycophant and
toady is the most despicable of human
characters, and it is a satisfaction to
know that such persons are usually
defeated In their Intentions and am
billions by the disgust and contempt
which their fiattery produces in the
minds of its objects.
There are doubtless many persons
In the South who regard the result
of the election as a most fortunate
thing; but there are at least as many
more who look at it from quite the
contrary point OF view.
Mr.. Taft's reception by Southern
men of both classes has been notably
cordial; by the first because he is
regarded as an altogether accentable
