that these conditions would be amply
fulfilled by the election Of Conc John

opinion OF this tremendous personality
in Texas. But a man by the name of
S. j. Owen protests that Cone has
been an anti.prohibitionist all his life
until he wanted to be Governor of
Texas and that In 1857 he spent his
own time and money nghting the
cause OF prohibition and ridiculing
the preachers and women for uphold
ing the cause, but when no becomes
candidate for Governor he thinks
there are moro votes and influence on
the prohibition side, SO he climbs ovor

Surely, an enemy hath done this;

SPARE THOSE STONE STEPS.

Nothing appears TO be secure from
the hand of the despoiler: the stone

stroyed before the steadily encroach-
ing tooth OF Progress, SO to speak.
Dear old stone steps! We knew them
well, and they were never of very.
much use to anybody: but they have
been there ever so long, and there they
should stay even, if staying, they
should interfere with the construc-
ton of the Boulevard. What's the
Boulevard to the stone steps? Isn't
there some way by which they can be
saved? Would not August Belmont
buy them, evcn as he bought the
crumbling brick posts at the entrance
OF the old Washington Race Course,
thus laying his vandal hand on one
OF the most precious of the ancient
landmarks? 1t is true that they had
stood there. through winters cold and
summers heat, for a generation OF

. TEST THAT WILL NOT TEST.

Eusapia Palladino, the self-styled
medium, is determined to take no
chances with her reputation. She has
been under suspicion ever since she
came to this country. and has been
caught so often in barefaced fraud
that she finds her reputation as a del
Yer in the black arts and a mistress OF
the occult a little shaky. She still keeps
a bold front and insists that she Is
all she ever claimed to be, but now
that a number OF New Workers have
offered to bet $1,000 that she is a fraud
she is making for cover.
The new test of her powers comes
at the end of a long parley. and the
mai agreement has just been reached.
In the presence of three witnesses Pal
,adino will submit to a search Of her
person and apparatus, will allow her
legs to be tied to a chair, will per-
nit her wrists to be tied by a twelve
inch cord to The wrists of the observ-
ers, and will then begin her incanta-
lions. If she do not demonstrate her
powers, a well-known straightforward
artist promises to give $1,000 to char
ity; If she "levitate a table, her crit
les promise the same mount to Pal
.ladino.
This is all very fair on its face
and would Indicate that a real test is
about to be made that will settle the
mediums disputed powers once and
for all. But Palladino has found a
method of escape. She signs all the
lpapers and allows her champions &c

STILL HAS HIS DUTIES.

Senator Chamberlain, OF Oregon. has
decided that the President is too hon-
est and that his conscience is his worst
political enemy. Speaking before a
Democratic club in Brooklyn the other
day. Mr.. Chamberlain declared that the
President made the greatest mistake
of his lifetin taking seriously tho cam
paign pledges made by his party. mo
other President has ever done it," he
said.
So far as the latter statement is con-
cerned, the Democratic Senator, cho-
sen by a Republican Legislature. would
have been correct had he said that but
one President since the war had hon
estly tried to carry out the pledges OF
his party. The one exception was Mr..
Cleveland, and he would ave done
everything his party promised TO do had
he not met with treason in his own
party. Mr.. Cleveland, however. was a
Democrat, despite what Mr.. Bryan. who
is not, said about him. and consequent
ly he does not properly con within
the scope of Mr.. Chamberlain's state
ment.
Because his predecessors in Office
were untrue to their pledges, as Mr..
Chamberlain has said, is no reason
why Mr.. Taft should feel himself abb
solved from his political PROMISES; and
the failure of every Executive from
Lincoln to Roosevelt to do what they
promised to dc does not lessen Mr..
Taft's own responsibilities. Mr.. Cham
berIain might as we'll argue that be-
cause nine men arc thieves the tenth
should be as to insist that because nine
Republicans failed to do their duty the
tenth should have no duties. Mr.. Taft
may not be able to compel
the passage of everything he
promised to advocate during his
campaign. u if he do his duty, as
prescribed by the Constitution, his re-
sponsib!lity will have ceased. and h'
Will at least have deserved praise a;
