Peary's Negro Friend Calls Him
Selfish.

Syracuse, n. Y. March l4.--In an
swer to his wife's statement that he
has been poorly treated by Com
mander Peary, Matt Henson, Peary's
negro companion, now lecturing here,
declared that he had heard nothing
from Peary since they reached
America.
"Peary always was a little selfish,
said Henson. He wants all the glory
himself. When | started my lecture
tour Peary asked me to abandon il,
saying it might add to the controversy
with DIR. Cook. The whole thing is
Peary's selfishness. He is afraid
will get some little attention from the
public.

absolutely nothing and on the expe-
dition in which we reached the pole

A Republicans Plain Talk.

If Curtis Guilds editorial denuncia-
ton of ]. Pierpont Morgan, recently
printed in the Commercial Bulletin Of
Boston, had been written by promi-
nent democrat instead of by repub-
lican ex-governor of Massachusetts,,
what a howl of "demagogue, socialist
and anarchist" would have gone up
from the republican press of New En-
gland. Editor Guild described Mr..
Morgan as 'beefy, thick necked
bully, drunk with financial power"
and charged him with defiantly break
ing the laws of Massachusetts,. He
adds that opposition to Morgan and to
Morgan rule is part of movement
which will develop into a national
propaganda for the peoples rights.
Language such as that on the part Of
Mr.. Bryan, Senator Tillman or any
other prominent democrat would be
greetedlwith sneers by our political
opponents. What can they say when
it comes not only from republican
of Guilds standing but from a man
who represents the real old fashion,
ed, Harvard college, back bay aristoc-
racy of the most conservative north
ern state in the union? Guilds out
break is but sign of the present
division in the ranks of the dominant
party, a division which speaks well
for its conscience and integrity and
proves that there is still left in it lit
tie of the spirit Of Lincoln and that
the sordid policy of commercialism
which has so long dominated it does
not appeal to all of its members. The
republican party may hold together
for a long time, the patronage, its
prestige, the cornering within it Of
the great business interests, all make
for cohesion, but it will lose many of
its most valued members unless it
substitutes patriotism for dollar chas-
ing. The Maine Democrat, Water
vile, Maine.

Joker Sent Hadley Seed.

Washington, D. c., March 13.-The
package of garden seed which Gov
ernor Hadley is said to have received
at Jefferson City, the package bear
ing the frank Of Senator Stone, was
not sent by Senator Stone.
Senator Stone said that while he
would certainly have no objection to
sending package of garden seed to
Governor Hadley or to anyone else,
yet the fact is that he has not sent
any such package to the Governor.
He presumed, if any such package
was sent it was sent by some hum
orist under his frank, thinking it
would be a joke.
AT all events, he said no package
was sent from his office or by any
person with his knowledge.

Traps Large Otter.

An unusual experience in this part
of the country was that of A. H.
Cune who lives near Auxvasse, Mo.
Mr.. Cune has been doing some trap
ping along Auxvasse creek lately and
found a large otter in one of his traps
few days ago. The otter has large
flat head, short ears and its tail is
horizontally flat and serves its owner
as a rudder when swimming. The
animal is aquatic and subsists entirely
on fish. Otter hides are valued al
about $40 and are priced highly as
furs. Clinton Democrat.

To Let Atkins Claim Sleep.

Washington, March.-It is now
probable that no further attempt will
be made to push the Atkins claim for
$6l 500 during this session. The
now plan which is said to be founded
on fear that the allowance Of the
claim would have an adverse effect
upon congressional elections in dis
tricts in Missouri now held by Repub-
hcans, is to let the claim sleep until
next session.
The claim represents the amount of
shortage in the United States SUBJ
treasury at St. Louis during Thomas
j. Atkins administration as subtreas-
urer. He is now postmaster at St.
Louis, having recently been promot-
ed by President Taft.
