Treachery Is Charged.

Are the stalwart republicans of
the Cannon brand secretly trying to
defeat the insurgent nominees for
congress? The Washington CORES
pendent of the Baltimore News says:
Several of the most prominent in
surgents in the country are confident
that at the proper time they will be
in position to charge Speaker Can
non and several of his Iieutenants
with treacheTy to the republican
party" 1t is also stated that repub-
Lcan members of the house have Of
fered financial assistance to elect
democrats.
There is probably this much truth
in the report: That both the stall
warts and the insurgents have their
knives out for each other in some dis
tricts where the feeling between the
two factions is fierce, but that an Of
fensive and defensive alliance has
been arranged between either of the
two republican factions and the dem
ocrats is improbable, and is merely
an exaggeration of the known atti-
tude of the hostile factions.
This report admits that the demo-
Gratis will elect a majority of the
next house and we are pleased to say

The swift work made of Crippen, the
wife murderer, in the courts of Eng
land sets a moral to the justice system
of this country. No farCical technical
ties will be permitted to intervene in
this case. Although he traversed the
ocean to escape his awful crime, he
was caught before he landed on the
farther shore, and in less than a
months time the wretch will be at the
end OF rope. That's what creates re-
spect for law and minimizes the in
stances of violation.

Some Utility.


Though money may not pleasure brtni
And every trouble chase.
Still it's a mighty handy thing
To have about the place.
A dollar sailed IN a sock
And rubbed by two or three
Beats having nothing by block.
AS any one can see.
You cannot eat a dollar bill 80
or serve Il up in hash.
Still there is something OF thrfn
In having ready cash.
A life OF worry you may lead
In piling up the dross,
But it's as fine a friend in need
AS you viii run across.
A quarter hidden In your jeens !
From which you need not part
Don't mark you az a man of meanA
But really it's a start,
And, adding slowly. IL will grow
a quarter and repeat
Until you have a pile OF dough
That speaks Of Easy street.
Hold out a little here and there.
A nickel or a dime.
And you will be a millionaire
With chinlS 20 burn in time.
And when you get II you will hnd
That you can use the stun.
Nor will you ever be inclined
To think you have enough.
