:- The Boston Advertiser fclcketi vig
orouslxjis follows: -
There is a strong sentiment against some of the
methods enforced at this New York custom house
in the inspection of the baggage of Americans
who are returning from Europe. The sentiment
secm9 to he growing stronger as some stupid -act
of a subordinate official from time to time adds
- f o the flame of resentment. That the present sys
tem, is illogical and often exasperating is beyond
dispute. That it can be changed without any
serious damage is possible. In view of the extent
to which foreign travel has grown among Ameri
cans it is a matter" of some public interest to
make some changes to protect, Americans from
insult and inconvenience arising from the acts of
their paid public servants. ' .
The elder William Pitt declared that
you could tax the bed out from under a
marv- tTie coat from off his back and
the" roof from over his head by using
the indirect method of .taxation. -It is
absolutely safe to assume that if every
American citizen-could be sent abroad
and made to return by way of one of
our custom houses the high protective
tai;iff system would be doomed, for
then every citizen would have an. eye
opener as to what, that system is cost
ing him It is the carelessness, lazi
ness, of the averagecitizen In figuring
out how much it costs that perpetuates
the system. Of course, the "insults and
inconvenience arising from the acts of
their" paid publiq servants" of which
the esteemed Advertiser complains only
aggravate an unjust system. . .

: The Washington Post ought to be ar
rested for cruelty to animals. It has
the heartlessness to say, "The Younger

.and sell the Leslie Shaw presidential
boom a tombstone." Surely, in the lan

most unkindest cut of all." Why cannot
The- Post "let the dead and the beauti
ful rest?" Clearly it takes no stock In
the ancient dictum, "De mortals nil
nisi bonura." All of which goes to show
that my eloquent and exuberant friend
Senator Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver is
a much greater success as'a funeral
orator than as an Introducer of presi
dential candidates to the American
public. . . - ,
-' Setting Himself Right.
"Straws show which, way the wind
blows'is -a saying which Democratic
"reorganizers" would do well to take
to heart ; It will be admitted on all
hands that General Francis Marion
Cockrell, senior and perpetual senator
from-Missouri, is not in. the habit of
talking . volubly through - his chapeau
and that he is not much gfven to rush
ing into print rashly and unnecessarily,
which facts account largely for his po
litical longevity; but of late "he has
been busy writing interviews and let
ters evidently intended for publica
tion. Wherefore? Because the St
Louis Globe-Democrat and Kansas City
Journal published what purported to
be an Interview with him in which he
was made to say, 'Silver Is dead" The
'senator's unwontedand frequent ap
pe.arances In the public press to deny
that he ever said anything of -the sort
prove beyond ftll cavil that he knows
the danger of saying anything-of ; the

, : The Average Democrat." .
v While Democratic statesmen of all
sorts of bores big, little and medium
are rushing into print to express their
Ideas or to demonstrate their lack of
Ideas as to "reorganization" it is re
freshing to read the following sensible
editorial written by Walter Williams,
editor of the Columbia (Mo.) Herald:
We are little concerned about the political for
tunes of this or, that distinguished Democrat
whose name figures frequently in the newspapers.
We are more interested in the average Missouri
Democrat Upon him the fortune of all these dia
tinguished Democrats depends and tbe future of
the party as welL; We believe it is more desirable
to please this average Missouri Democrat, to draw
platforms that be will indorse, to consult him
regarding party politics and to run the machinery
of stats as he desires it run than to consider the
aspirations, ambitions snd Jealousies of the other
Democrats who are more than average.
The average Missouri Pejnocrat is the mainstay
of Missouri He wants no office.. He is a freeman,
thinking for himself, acting for himself. He has
no interest in personal grievances and does not
become excited, over anybody's sore toe. He
wishes to know whether the platform reads right
and what the oRicisls are doing who were elected
on the platform. He is a bit indifferent ordi
narily, but when arousedremember 1894. He
elected the entire Republican sfate ticket that
year, did this average Missouri Democrat, He will
do it again when platform and leaders do tot
suit him. He pays the taxes, supports the schools,
tills the fields, manages tbe business, is tne mate.
Without him there would be bo Democratic party
in Missouri. With him satisfied and . alert the
-Democratic party can jiever be defeated. He fur
nishes a good share of the wisdom sod all the
mtH. When he" is left out of calculation, the
party will, become an army of generals wiin w
rans end me.. . ' - .
The man with the shoulder straps win care for
their own fortunes. Do not become excited over
thm. . Look out for tbe average Missouri Demo
crat, the rank and file of the army, more than
860,000 strong. U makes and unmakes gaeerabj
and wins battles or. lose them.
Not only must th average Missoer!
Democrat about whom Mrr Wllliamg
philosophizes, analyzes and eulogizes
h considered.' but also the average
Democrat everywhere the ''one gallus
Democrats," as they have been some,
times called. -.They know what they
want, and they have a way of making
their wants manifest -

Sulzer In Montana. -'
This summer an extraordinarily larce
number of senators and representatives
In congress have traveled extensively
in foreign parts or within our own ex
tensive and expansive domain In search
of health, pleasure or information or of
all three. Ainonc the distinguished
voyageurs is that buoyant, honest courageous-and
brilliant statesman. Lion.
William Sulzer of New York, one of
the big Tammany chiefs. Among the
places visited by the conspicuous New
Yorker was Montana. The Enterprise,
published at Livingston, in that nascent
and ambitious youncr commonwealth.
in a most .elaborate and eulogistic ar
ticle "says inter alia:
Of the many men in public life few have at
tained greater (fhtoriety then William Sulier, the
most ginea of ;sew York's delegation in tbe lower
house of congress, who returned Wednesday even
ing rrom a tour of Wonderland. Although but
thirty-eight years of age, Congressman Sulzer hag
had a varied career and has easily won rank as
jtne of the greatest men in public life as wtll as
one of the most gifted orators on the floor of
congress. When twenty-one years of age he wis
admitted to the bar and five years later entered
the state legislature. For four years he saw
service in the assembly, serving one year as its
speaker. In 1806 be was a delegate to the Chicago
convention and took his seat in the Fifty-fourth
congress, having served continually since tbe
opening ef -that session. One year ago he was
prominently mentioned as a candidate for the vice
presidency on the Bryan ticket, but withdrew in
favor of Stevenson.
Neither the Livingston Enterprise of
Montana nor any other paper can say
anything too goodfor Sulzer. He is a
prime favorite with all who know him.
He. wears well. He is faithful to his
ideals of" right, and his Ideals are very
high. He is plain as an old shoe, hon
est as the" day is long, reliable S3 Coc-
sar's Tenth legion or Napoleon's Old
Guard, is a growing man and has a
splendid future. That he will continue
to ascend the difficult ladder of fame
till he reaches the top Is the belief of
many of his friends.
- Congratulatory.
All Americans with healthy' hearts
In their breasts who are not too old to
love and who of the sons of Adam or
the daughters of Eve Is too old? will
wish ppvernor Robert L. Taylor of
Tennessee, popularly known as Bob
Taylor, abundant happiness In his new
matrimonial venture. Bob is one of
the most popular entertainers In Amer
ica, perhaps the most popular. His
three terms' In the gubernatorial chair
of the old Volunteer State did not do
one tithe as much to make him famous
as did his serio comic lecture "The Fid
dle and the Bow," which has caused
more laughter and more tears than any
other one lecture delivered since the
world began and which has made the
governor a "comparatively rich man,
He Jias delivered several other lectures,
all good, but the people still demand
"The Fiddle and the Bow."
- . As to Cabinet Officers.
Mr. Coburn of Kansas City, Kan., Is
being urged by his friends as successor
to Mr. Wilson of Iowa, secretary of&g
rieulture. Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts Is frequently mentioned
as successor to Colonel John Hay in
the state department;' ditto Hon. Jo
seph H. Choate; ditto FJlhu Root No
doubt others have their -lightning rods
up. Whenever a new president is elect
ed there are all sorts of urging of this
man and that for cabinet partfoIlos A
regiment of applicants Is, more or less
Insistent and presents "claims" of all
sorts and sizes. .Truth to tell, no man
should be recommended for any cab!
net position. The eight members of the
cabinet constitute the president's offl
clal family. He is brought into almost
dally contact with'them- He must rely
implicitly upon them and delegate to
them -many of bis own duties and pre
rogatives. They should be to him thor
oughly persona; gratae, and In their se
lection he should exercise his own taste
and his own wilL It is right and prop
er for any citizen or for all citizen's to
recommend any nian to any place or
ta all places outside the cabinet hnt it
would be In as good taste to recoin
mend, unasked, any woman to any
man as bis wife as to suggest a cabinet
officer. ::
Of course it Is a harmless If profitless
amusement for papers to suggest this
or that man for the cabinet , The sug
gestions, will probably have no effect
whatever.

It la queer how things turn out In
this lower world. Here Is venerable
Dartmouth college celebrating the hun
dredth anniversary. of the graduation
j3t Daniel Webster, though he,"" the
grandest orator that ever spoke the
English tongue, was not permitted to
speak at all rn his graduation dayl
Could the authorities have read - th
book of fate he would at least have
been permitted' to lift up Wat magnifi
cent voice on that occasion. It would
perhaps be instructive to know what
became of the members of. his class
whodid speak, particularly of the sa
lutatorian and the valedictorian. In
all probability within ten years of grad
uation their highest claim to celebrity
was that they were classmates of "the
godlike XanieL" It is written ovef
and over again for ur Instruction that
"man proposes, but God disposes."
. AtS least one other distinguished
American oraton Robert Toombs, was
refused 'permission to make a graduat

Democrats everywhere, as well as all
Republicans of sense, will be delighted
to hear that Senator George Graham

of his physical vigor and now bids fair
not only to live till the end of his term
In the. senate, March 4, 1903, but to en

Of course his fame rests almost ex

two dMicate and difficult arts has he a
master, hardly a peer. -Good stories as
to other traits occasionally appear

Vest's Dog Speech. "
One of his most famous speeches was
a tribute to a dog in a Jury-case. It U
a gem of eloquence, and here It Is:
Gentlemen of the Jury Tbe best friend a ma
has in the world may turn against him and be
come his enemy. His son or daughter may prov
ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to
us, those whom we trust with our happiness and
good name, may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has h may loss. It flics
away from mm. perhaps, when be needs it soost.
A woman's reputation may be sacrificed In a mo
ment of ill considered action.
The people who are proea to tall oa their knees
to do us honor when success is with ss may be
tbe first to throw the stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. Tbe ojm abeo-

perity and poverty, in health and in net Dm. He
wUl sleep on the cold ground, wbers the wintry
winds blow and tbe snow drives fiercely, if Le
nay only be near his master s -side.
He will kiss tbe hand that baa no food to offer.
He will lick tbe wounds and sores that coma ia
encounter with the roughness of tha world. lie
guards the sleep c-t his pauper matter as if be
were a prince. When aU-other friends desert, be
remains. When riches take wines snd reputation
faUs to pieces, be is as constant la bis love as
the sun in its journey through tha hesvens. vIf
fortune drives the master forth an ootra In tha
world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than that of accompany
ing him. to guard against danger, to fight sgalnst
his enemies, and when tha last scene of air comes,
and death takes the master in its embrace, and bis
body is laid away in tbe cold ground, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way, there by the
graveside will the noble dog be found, bis head
between his paws, his eyes sad, but open la alert

Then Vest sat down. He had spoken
In a low voice, without gesture. He
