Methods of Desperation.

his district are already immOVably
against him, and he is almost beside
himself in his efforts to keep the city
people from finding out just what the
country people have already discov-
cred about him.
Very successfully has he led his
double life. Not only has he sucked
eggs in secret, but he buried the
shells. Nobody suspected him, until
recently, of being one of the yellow
CANNES that have made American
politics smell to heaven. But we
have the facts, at last, and Pussy
foot Bill is on the slide toward uni
versal execration.
He accuses me of having been the
partner of Colonel W. D. Mann, of
Town Topics and Smart Set.
l was never Colonel Mann's part
ner. At the time I agreed to edit a
magazine which he was to finance,
and I to control, there was nothing
against him so far as I knew. The
Collier suit and the exposure of Col
onel Mann's methods came on later.
after I was fastened by contract. The
facts have been published repeatedly,
and [ shall not bore you with a repe-
tition.
Bill says that I have blackmailed
candidates for office "out of thou
sands Of dollars" I wonder why
some of them don't complain of it!
The victims of a blackmailer gener-
ally feel sore over the hold up: l,
marvel that none of mine "squeals.
Of course, the accusation has no
more truth in it than his charges
about the campaign of 1895. Can
didates who think that my paper
will make good campaign literature,
buy extra copies of it. through James
Lanier, our business manager, Just
as they buy extra copies of all other
newspapers.
I have no votes to sell, Mr.. De-
serter: no principles to barter for
office: no talent to prostitute. We
sell papers, not convictions. We ex-,
press an opinion, first: then those
who think that the editorial will
benefit their candidacy can buy as
many copies as they like, at our regu-
lar prices. In supplying ammunition
to men who are fighting such a fraud
as you are, Bill, we cut the price to
actual cost We are doing that in
each district represented by a de-
serter The deserters feel the effect,
and that's why Bill froths when he
denounces "The jeff"
Some Pertinent Questions.
Bill speaks scornfully of the OBJ
jects of some ones whole life"
Whose life? Mine or his? Was it I,
who was silent when the national
banks were rechartered? Was it I,
who was a Congressman when the
Infamous Dick bill, which has revO-
lutionized our militia system, went
through the House, without any pro-
test on my part? Was it I, as Con-
gresham representing the common
people, who raised no voice of objec-
ton when Roosevelt lost his head and
recommended an appropriation of
100000 of the peoples money to
build new houses for the earthquake
sufferers of Sicily and Italy? Was
it I who voted to emasculate the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and take away from it the power of
initiating proceeding against unjust
and discriminatory railroad rates?
Was it I, who stood in with the ex-
press companies and voted to exempt
them from governmental control?
Was it I, who nobly rushed to the
relief of the Pullman Palace Car
Company and exempted that down

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Census Director Durand Saturday
night gave out statement charging
a gross effort to pad the census re-
turns of Tacoma. Washington, and
other cities, including Seattle, Wash,
Portland Ore, and Minneapolis.
BY a single vote the question OF
changing the name of the Episcopal
church was lost in the House of Depu-
ties of the general convention Satur-
day at Cincinnati. The vote by
dioceses follows: Clericals, aye IL,
no IS, divided 10; lay, aye 81. no "a,
divided 8. AS there were So dioceses
represented in the convention it re-
uuirad the affirmative vote of 80 to
make the change. The clergy gave
the required majority but the lay
deputies were one vote short, so the
resolution was lost by non-concurrence
of orders. A similar fate by exactly
the same margin of one vote, defeated
the proposal at the general conven-
ton three years ago.
John D. Munrpe, d past commander
OF Massachusetts and Rhode Island
knights Templar and a 33rd degree
Mason, died at his home in Fall River,
Saturday night, after an illness of
several days. He was IS years old
ard master printer. For some time
he was widely known throughout the
state from his prominence in the
newspaper business.

Balloon Flight,

The course was by way of Amiens,
Abbeville and Boulogn and the balloon
