Very Mixed Pickles.


,"Fi,lnore,' said Daniel Webster on
9 certain occasion to Willard ELL
more II Like Clay like Clay very
much-but he rides rough, sir,
damn'd rough :" So might William
Howard Taft say of Theodore -Roose-
volt When the fairy gOdmother
mont over Theodore,s cradle she fail
Cd TO leave him the quality of con-
.rideration among her many gifts and
kisses.
Was there any reason why the Cox
.onel should put himself to the pains
of the public statement that he had
asked neither interview nor favor OF
the President? 1t was Roosevelt who
went TO New Haven to meet Taft,
not Taft who went to Oyster Bay OF
meet Roosevelt. Griscom lis ROose-
velf's man, not Tart's. The Roose-
-elt people are prompt to appropri-
.,ro to themselves and to take advan-
tage of the moral support supposed
to he implied by the condescension
of the President They disport them
selves like very cocks of the walk,
and vet, the difference between
Roosevelt's application for parley
and Griscoms proposal of parley,
would seem to involve the distinction
between tweedle-dum and tweedle-
dee.
Hence we say that it was needless
" ungracious of the eX-President to
announce with flourish of trumpets
that he owes the President nothing,
having gone through stress of wealth
or to New Haven solely for the bene-
fit of his health.
In the Just ended State Convention
of the New Jersey Republicans At
torny General Edmund Wilson as
temporary chairman reused the
widest enthusiasm when he men
toned the flaming Roosevelt and
the wise and tactful Taft" In that
connection the orator referred to In
surgency, declaring that there are
two kinds of insurgents, the kind
that fights within the party and the
kind that fights without. He declar-
ed also that there were two main
things responsible for insurgency,
Cannonism and the tariff. Of Can
nonism he said that no man was big
ger than his party III the rules OF
Congress are too drastic, ne said,
they ought to be changed. Then ne
defended the Cannon tariff law, and
trolled off the Cannonism that, If it
needed any changing the changes
should not be permitted to be made
'Lv the enemies of protection. And,
then and thereupon the Convention
proceeded to nominate standpat
Cannonite for Governor and to adopt
"a stand-pat Cannon platform, en-
bodying in the following planks the
most orthodox Cannon doctrines as
the highest compliment it could be-
stow upon the Speaker of the Nation
al House of Representatives SO We
hemently denounced by its chairman.
We commend to the people OF
this State the results of the labOrs of
the Congress, just adjourned, which
has passed more measures which
contribute to the benefit and devel-
opment of the country than any other
Congress since the organization OF
the Republic.
We especially commend the pro-
tective tariff. The tariff question in
wolves three great principles-the
development of American industries
and the protection or American labor,
a revenue to provide for the ex-
penses of the Covenant and the
making of the United States indie
pendent az against the world for the
provision OF everything that enters
into the question of national defense.
The tariff law of the last Congress
provides for all these i'm ample way,
and as one of the immediate results
it has changed a deficit of flfty-eight
millions of dollars into a surplus of
twenty-eight millions of dollars"
