MR.. sHERMAN's POSITION.
[Sioux CITY Journal

SIOUX NY JOutlldlJ
Last Sunday before a company of ST
Louis republicans a. dinner the genial
vice president Of the United States
dropped the observation that there are
no insurgents in the republican party.
He qualified his statement by saving
that good republicans did not recognize
insurgents and was about to proceed
te explain further "-hcn the discovery
was made that newspaper men We're
in the room. He had understood his
speech would not be reported. 'I would
not have it said that made a political
speech on Sunday, not for the world
men.
At Guthrie, Okla, on Wednesday, Mr.
Sherman presented the case somewhat
differently. II am not here" he said.

ty. All are welcome; and like the
minister of the gospel''-with his mind
possibly reverting to his Sunday ser
vice in ST. Louis-fe added: Il would
turn sinners from their erring ways
and take them back into the fold of
true republicanism." Further along
Mr.. Sherman said: "This is no time
for quarrels in the republican party
this point or that. 1t is the time for
republicans to stand shoulder to Shout
der in the fight against the comm on
enemy" This sounds so much like
what the Iowa ongressmen put into a
resolution at Des Moines the other day
THAT the statement cannot be other

Parry regularity IS necessary 70 party

Congressman Smith won his nomin-

republican votes. He Is entitled

wise than welcome in this state.
1t may be urged that the vice presi-
dent has been detected in inconsist-
ency.. 1t may be said he spoke his
true sentiment when he thought his
speech was not to be reported. and that
in the open meeting he spoke as a poll
tician, after the manner of the Iowa
congressman.
While it is useless to debate the point
of consistency, which is not now in un-
iversal favor, it may be possible to
show that a charge of inconsistency
cannot successfully be maintained. Did
he not say at st. Louis that there are
no insurgents in the republican party?
Being free Of insurgency, he could have
| no desire to drive any one out OF the
party Did he not say at Guthrie that
he stood ready to welcome them back
into the fold of true republicanism +?
He could not welcome the mback If
! they had not left the party.
| 1t is we'll not to be hasty in jumping
at conclusions. The thoughtful reader
| will see that the only objection that
the vice president had to a continuation
| of his political suggestions at St. Louis
was that it was against his principles

The vice president is q jolly good
| fellow. He bears no malice. He would

president would but say the word.

FORTUNE TELLING IN COLFAX.
[Colfax Clipper].
Yes; the gypsy fortune teller has
been on the job in Colfax again, and
did some business. We haven't reports
from all, but one episode-like the mis-
fortune to the travelling mans grip
leaked out. The misfortune to the for
tune teller caused the leak last week,
Just before the city marshal saw her
safely on the train. and the few little
drippings our reporter secured are
condensed below:
The gypsy queen had worked the
business section of the spring city. and
retired without having realized on her
talent Then she started on the rounds
of residences that Cooked good" First
one she tackled happened to be that OF
jealous wife who was willing to be

instanter and after the usual palmistry
mummaries proceeded to reveal the
past. Told the anxious wife that her
husband was faithful and true. and her
suspicious We're cruel and unjust, be-
cause groundless. The woman was dis
appointed She wanted different
story; but the gypsy was obdurate, in
sisting that she was reading as the
palm showed it. Then her patron be-
gan to haggle about the price. She had
but thirty-five cents and the gypsy's
fee was one dollar. In her dilemma
and to effect quick settlement she
produced a silk garment. gave 1t to the
fortune teller and at once the deal was
completed. Hardly had the fortune
teller left the house, however, before
her patron relented. She began to
think she had paid big price for the
kind Of news she didn't want, and
without waiting minute she 'phoned
her husband to come home. giving him
