The fools are not all dead yet. "Some
of them edit newspapers and are seri

should not" nominate a Missourian for
president because Missouri is a reliably
Demtx-rJtic state. That is the veriest
rot. Is not Ohio reliably Republican
at least,' In presidential years? it has
voted for. every Republican presiden
tial candidate beginning with General
John Charles Fremont in 1856. ' In 1892
Grover' Cleveland received one elec
toral vote fromOnlo, but that was ac
cidental, growing out of the peculiarly
bunglesome way in which the tickets
were marked.: Notwithstanding her re
liability as a " Republican, istate, Ohio
' has in twenty-five years received tour
Republican presidential nominations.
In fact, the Republicans since Lin
coln's first nomination have never se
lected their candidate from'a doubtful
state but -twice, when that coveted
honor was bestowed upon General Ben
jamin Harrison in 1888 and in 1892. If
Missouri presents a fit candidate, he
ought to be nominated.

his mind as follows: . ' -

CONDENSED STORIES.
Einee the Sampson-Schley controversy hat rton
acute again there has ben considerable reterenc
to Proctor Knott's "rabbit story la connection
with the- credit tor the victory at &mtiai. , It is
here reproduced :
Ex-Governor Proctor Enott and "John TrrVes
were discussing the claims o! Sampson and SVhlry
to tbe credit of smashing Onrrrs at Santiago.
Mr. Yerkes took the ground that all the honor of
that memorable conflict belonged to Admiral
Sampson and was inclined to entirely ignore Vom
modore Schley's part in the affair, -
Tbe governor listened until his eompanioa bad
finished and then, with that characteristic twinkle
In his eye, said: My dear air, it is exceedingly
gratifying to me to hear you take the posit inn
you have in the matter. It is likt s balm to my

me many a day. I was walking through the wood
once with a boy friend ot mine when we saw a
rabbit ran into a sink hole. We Stood around ths
hole awhile. Then I told the boy to keep watch
while I went-o get some fire to smoke the rabbit
out. When I returned, tbe boy bad the rabbit. I
took it away frctn him, claiming tluil it belonxnl
to me because I told him to catch it ii it cam
out. That was over fifty years ago, and you are
the first man who haa ever agreed with me that
the rabbit was mine. I feel now that I was right
in taking it, and my conscience is at rest." "
Mr. Yerkes looked solemn for a few momenta,
then smiled a feeble smile and changed the sub
ject.
Remarks la Brief.
' The brave Boers fight on, about hold
ing their own against the forces of that
mighty empire upon whose dominions
the sun never1 sets and whose morning
drumbeat encircles the globe. Sept 15
was the day set by Kitchener beyon:!
which they must not draw trigger un
der penalties the most dire that cruelty
could devise. The day has come and
gone. Still the brave. Boers fight on,
such a heroic fight for home, liberty
and local self government as has not
been made since the world began.
