THE COLONEL IN HIA GLORY.

Colonel Roosevelt is enjoying himself more
hugely now than at any time since he left the
United States on his South American junket.
He is in his element for he has become en-
broiled in a quarrel with an English explorer
who disputes his alleged discovery Of an un-
charted river in Brazil. There is nothing the
colonel loves better than quarrel, and this one
promises to bring him into the international
limelight-which is another thing he enjoys I'M
mensely.
As the story goes, the Mighty Hunter claimed
TO have unearthed river in Brazil a thousand
miles long which was absolutely undesignated In
any manner upon the maps. Sir Clement Mark
ham, who is ex-president of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society of Great Britain. Immediately scofed
at Colonel Roosevelts claim, asserting that no
discoveries" of any value could have been made

Brazil He further asserted that he had dug

II, and he hadn't discovered any new river-and
intimated that he doesn't believe 1t exists, or
words to that effect,
The colonel does not propose 10 be Doctor
Cooked by an English explorer or anybody else,
and announces that he will make his appear
ance before the Royal Geographical Society, and
offer indisputable proofs of his claims, and In
the meantime. In a towering rage, he added Sir
Clement Markhans name TO the rolls of his
Annanias club along with that of the newspaper
man who sent out the report that he was paid
for that lecture he delivered In Rio de Janeiro.
! The colonel is mad clean through and doesn't
propose to be cheated out of his river-not II he
knows it--and when the colonel does get mad

THE GOSPEL OF MURDER.
The baltimore Sun says

Inc baltimore sun says.
The gospel of murder which Governor RIease
has been preaching in South Carolina has pro-
duced bloody fruit in the killing Of Mr. John M.
Cannon, Judge advocate on the governors staff.
1T Is true that what Rlease advocated was tho
shooting Of doctors who undertook to carry out
a law which he considered improper. But when
public official advises the slaughter OF those
who disagree with him, he cannot limit the law
lessness 10 one side. Governor Blease has been
sowing the seed OF violence in hds State for
years and the crop that is coming up has the
red tnge of blood
Blease has openly advocated lynching and
other la@'lessness, too. nobody who heard 1t or
read it will forget that disgusting speech of his
In Richmond nor have his utterances since been
any more decent But gospel Of blood" is good.
II Is his foolish vanity TO be considered ferocous
to be awe-inspiring; to be looked upon as the
little brother Of wild cat that has led him into
his asinine exhibitions But we believe his day
is done. If he can get out of public Office before
retribution overrakes him he Will be fortunate
