Birds Of a Feather.

The American in the first class car
riiage of an English train insisted on
smoking. An angry Englishman pro-
tested, and when about to appeal to
the guard the American got ahead of
him with the remark Guard, l
think you will find that gentleman is
travelling with third-class ticket on
him."
1t proved to be true, and the sput-
tering Britisher' was put out.
A spectator of the incident asked
the American how he knew about the
ticket.

The Defeat of Blease.

The Times editor has never
been one to show malicious ha-
tired towards Cole l.. Blease.
The criticisms made against
him and his administration
have been respectful and in con-
servative language. The oppo-
sition expressed has been digni-
fled and orderly expression of
the Judgment that he was unfit
to fill the high position of COVER
nor of the State. Now that he
is defeated we do not propose
exulting and boasting over the
fact. We have no desire to "rub
it jim" on the followers of Gov
ernor Blease. 1t is satisfaction
enough for us that Governor
Blease has been defeated. Many
of his followers were honest in
their belief that he was "the
poor mans friend" We did not
endorse all the chief executive
did nor all he said. We felt
that he was about the worst en-
emy the poor man had, and so
expressed it; we thought he ex-
ercised the pardoning power too
freely and altogether indiscrim-
lnately, and so expressed the
thought. We felt and still feel
that he was unfit for the posi-
ton because he was too narrow
IN his views. He was the gover-
nor of his political followers
and the avowed enemy of all his
opponents. His attitude was
that of a tyrant, and not of a
chief executive, and he usurp-
ed the functions of legislative
and judicial nature in the exer-
else of his executive duties. He
has been Incorporate in the dis
charge of his executive duties.
) There is another reason for
the condemnation of Governor
Blease: He has done more to
array class against class than
any man who has held the office
OF governor of the State. His
words, actions, and attitude
have melted lawlessness to ac-
ton. Under is administration
the courts of the State have |
gone to pieces. They were al
ready tottering, but it remained |
for him to level them in the
dust.
We do not feel called upon to
say more upon the matter. 1t is |
now a passed issue, and the ma
chine he has built up will 20 to
pieces like a bottle dashed upon
rock.
There is just one phase of the
matter that we feel should be
weighed carefully: Behind
Blease there was reason.
Blease, the man, was an acci-
dent; Bleaseism, under some
other name, would have come
just the same-even though it
might have been delayed. The
reason is, we take it, in the in
justice and thoughtlessness too
often manifested by the well-to-
do and prosperous towards the
man who is "down and out"
