American League fans of this city who have seen Jim McAleer steering the St Louis Browns into this harbor and out of 1t since 1902 are having probably their last opportunity to see the old hero Of the game at the head of a club. For 26 years he has been in the game and he has reached the point that comes to all the veterans sooner or later-he is on the verge of dropping out. The ending of his ca reer is made even sadder than endings usually are, because it is linked with 7tfie greatest uisappointment or his life.
 McAleer was sure when the season started that he had pennant- winning combinations the biggest hope of his life. And the Browns are in seventh place, with the season two4hirds over and no indication of betterment of the standing.

Thursday

Next Thursday Theodore
Roosevelt steps down and out,
and William H. Taft steps up
and in. The change of admins
tration will be made without the
least friction, and everything
will move right along just as
smoothly as though there had
not been a change of rulers.
President Roosevelt will leave
the executive Office standing high
in the estimation of the people.
The politicians will be glad to
see him depart. but that fact in
ures to his fame rather than de-
tracing from it. The coming
administration bids fair to be an
excellent one, and if any of the
members of congress who have
been throwing bricks at Roose-
velt think they are to have their
own way with Taft they are like
ly to awaken some fine morning
and discover their mistake.

WHIPPING POST AND STOCKS.

stood in the Raleigh Court House
Land Until End Of the Rebellion.
Up until the end of the war and a
little while after the whipping post
and stocks stood not far from the
northwest corner IF the court house
and between that building and the
present postof1ce, and there the last
whipping took place, though as it be.
gan it was sought to be stopped by
q federal officer. The sheriff was,
however, simply carrying out the man
date of the old court of pleas and
quarter sessions.
In those days the stocks and the
whipping post too were special attrac-
tions, notably to boys. The latter
were allowed to ridicule people who
sat in the stocks, which held their
hands and feet, but not to throw any
thing at them.
OF course, this deprived the boys Of
some degree of pleasure, yet they con-
trived to get good deal Of fun out
Of the thing anyway. It seems odd
now even to think Of such scenes as
these must have been. Figure to your
self passing by the court house green
at Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing q
gentleman held by the ankles and
wrists by wooden bars, sitting there ia
the sunshine for all the world to look
at. ...,
Those were the days Of the branding
iron too. A set of gives of iron, in USE
for holding the ankles or wrists, are
on exhibition here. but of branding
irons there are none. These were
used here in January, 1865, for the
last time.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

i MlNNtSUIA rUlIIlCS
| Minnesota politics is an anon
ally. With a normal republican
majority of $4,000 the state has
three in succession elected a
democratic governor by ma
jorities ranging from 5000 to
73, 900, two of these elections oc-
curing in years when republi-
can president has been chosen
by landslides.
Republican votes did it and re-
publican partisan doctors have
been trying for many moons to
diagnose the disease and to pre-
scribe a remedy. The diagnosis
is erroneous and the remedy has
been ineffective. The party
practitioners have simply dag
nosed surface symptoms; they
have discovered that 100000 or
more republican voters have
cast their ballots for a democrat
ic candidate, and have announc-
ed that these republicans are
traitors and their act a crime.
Had they gone below,the surface
they might possibly have found
the reasons for the actions of the
independent voters. He who
runs may read the cause of de-
mocratic victory, in dissension
among leaders many of whom
are self-appointed and whose
dictum has wearied "the plain
people;" in corrupt nominating
conventions and in weak candi-
dates.
This series of defeats with the
accompanying strengthening of
a democratic machine, have near
ly caused the republican practi-
tioners to lose their wits. In
their search for remedy they
have adopted methods which, if
pursued to the end, are likely to
kill rather than cure the patient.
Republican steering commit
tees" whose personnel is, to say
the least, open to criticism, have
been appointed, ostensibly to Sc
cure beneficial legislation, but in
reality to circumvent a demo
cratic governor. The ill-direct-
ed zeal of these committees has
well nigh throttled legislation.
And now comes the proposition
advocated openly by a state Of
ficer at a Lincoln Day banquet
to abolish the primary election
lava measure dear to the heart
of the people. Should the re-
publican legislature repeal this
law the democratic governor
would doubtless veto the bill and
his act would make him sue
cessful fourth term candidate.
Are the party managers blind?
Can they not see that their meth
DDS are endangering further par
lty success? The thousands of
independent republicans would
like to train with the party
again, but find it hard work to
do so under existing conditions.
They sincerely believe that there
are worse things than a demo-
cratic governor, though many of
them are not any more in sym
pathy with the machine that is
behind the governor than they
are With the repuDncan machine.
There are good men in the re-
publican party who can be elect
ed governor. Will the party
practitioners cease their dag
nQsing and desist from ramming
their alleged remedies down the
throats of the ''plain people,"
and give the latter a chance to
vote their convictions? Not un-
til this is done can Minnesota re-
publicanism hope to regain the
proud position which it occupied
in years gone by.
