But never another like him. Democracy will be represented by a jackass just as long as such men .as Ben Tillman are allowed to bray. John Lr. Sullivan has gotten sober; donned a. fancy vest and is making his farewell tour. In his old days John was "the prince of Demo crats but red eye knocked him out. Some of the New York papers are already wondering what they will do when the Thaw trial is over. We would suggest that "suffi cient unto the day is the evil thereof." Some people may think that they have made it pretty livBly .for the Mormon Sena tors, but-they should not forget that some of the Gentiles have been skinned as well. The Yellow Jacket will have a million sub scribers the first thing you know, and then you win De glad you had your name placed upon the subscription list of the Insect. The Yellow Jacket is little but loud, for the eyes of the enemy are constantly upon it. The editor delights to see them writhe and hear them howl, while he continues to saw wood. - ' The soldiers, with their wives and sweet hearts, seem set on" having the canteen re inaugurated in the army. It must be rather dull sitting around the army posts sober. Did you ever pin a Democrat right down close and ask him why he was a Democrat? Just try it and see what he will say. His answer will be as vague as a Socialistic dream. The Yellow Jacket is just 30 "cents for twenty-six doses, and it is worth a dollar of any man's money. - Four subs for a dollar that's -just like getting money from-home or discovering a gold mine. Howard Gould was "out with his' yacht the other day and ran amuck a big boat and almost went to the bottom of the sea: Once in a -while a millionaire goes -up against the real thing, and stops sudden. The Thaw trial is now on, and millions of money will be used to save a renegade's neck.

Nearly every paper in the United States but the Yellow Jacket is printing "the latest picturerof Evelyn Nesbit Thaw" and they are all different.

It is hard to pleaso ? a man who spells God with a little g and most uemocrais ao mat. The Yellow Jacket is a rip snorter all right and if it rip snorts in your cabbage patch and you don't like it, what are you going to do about it? Say, bud, beUer keep on your biled shirt and sweat it out. Mayor Schmitz rushe'd across the continent i to see President Roosevelt arid proved con clusively to all who saw him that distance lends enchantment to the view. The Yellow Jacket circulates in every State among a class or people who think -and vote The Yellow Jacket deals largely in common everyday thoughts, and why? Because it is the kind of "stuph" that reaches tfee common people. Collier's Weekly costs $5.20 a year; the Yellow Jacket 30 cents. Costly Collier's circulates among the millionaires, while the Insect goes among the common people. An yet the Divine command is "Feed my lambs.

A pessimistic writer exclaims: "We , are mad with the iron heel-Of 'commercialism." Possibly that is what is the; matter with Mr. Foraker, but it looks like he wap mad with the iron nerve of Mr. Roosevelt who has the genius to call down a demagogue no matter where he appears. - i The Standard Oil gang are getting it In the neck over in Ohio. It looks as if the pow ers that be over in the Buckeye State are against the Octopus. The only thing the Yel low Jacket has to say, is "Lay on MacDuff," give 'em bloody 'ell. The prosperity of this country is phenom Inal, and yet you can hear a few still curs- ! ins: the cover nment. A man who will cuss his country in an hour like this will rob a f graveyard. America is the wonder of the world, and yet some men persist in still croak ing for a resurrection of Democratic hard times of other days.

But the question is what differ ence does that make. If one man leads a horse to water and he doesn't want to drink, the other ninety-nine men would' have very "uie to do in trying to make him drink ow does this proposition strike you, neigh- cor. it looks good to us. Spring starts in next month and the hope that property will be higher. Property is always going to be higher in . thf spring, to hear the lazy man tell it. The thing to do, however, is to make hay every day that the sun shines, and then you" have things nearer to your way of thinking. The mah who waits ior spring generally defers it till summer and then puts it off until next fall. Famine-stricken Qhina is j holding out its an arms to the world, crying for ineip. xne American nation will, of course, send of its abundance; but the spook of thf t merciless boycott rises up like a ghost.

His probable candidacy does not appeal to thinking men. The Yellow Jacket has been fricasseeing the carcasses of Democrats for about twelve years, and it rather likes the job. It's really enjoyable to see them writhe, and squirm, fret and cuss, and then finally come meander ing into the Republican ranks. The Insect may not convert the whole lot, but it will make the most of them hard to catch. lature of the Old Palmetto commonveaitn ought to demand of their senior Senator that he keeD still and quit acting the colossal fool. It were as impossible for Tillman to be ; on the right side of a question as for a thorn bush to blossom roses. His only role is the pitchfork stunt. The Sputhern constituency are growing dead tired of his senseless tirades. The government is going to appropriate two million dollars to dam the Colorado riv er. The settlers out there have damned it for nothing and there is no use to pay so much for cussing. The Gulf stream has changed its course be cause it' didn't want anybody to try to press a crown of thorns on the brow of labor or make mince meat on a cross of gold. Even the Gulf stream has gone Democratic. They are. now trying to tell us that Roose velt cannot stem the sentiment against a third term. After he runs again and is elect ed he perhaps will not want it the third term, He has been elected but once, so far. ' The people of Colorado did themselves no honor in allowing Simon Guggenheim to be elected to the Senate. Ifwas not what could be called a political contest it was simply a man with a barrel swiping all that was in sight. We hope that' Senator Beveridgo when he undertakes to wipe the floor with William J. in his magazine contest will have good manners enough to leave a grease spot of the Peerless One so that it may be run for the Presidency. - It has been asked, time and again: where does the Yellow Jacket circulate? It circu lates among every class of people from the sighing pines of Maine to the shining sands of the Golden Gate; from the crystal waters .

The Foraker hullabaloo has done the color ed people of this country incalculable harm. The President is right, and sensible negroes know it. The prejudice that has existed so long between the races has-been much inten sified; The weaker race was beginning to rise, but now it has taken" a slide the other way, and it will be a quarter of a century De fore it can struggle back to where it was. When will the ignorant colored denizens learn the low workings of bum politics? toilins: masses. hat a-half a million of others are following your example. The Xellow Jacket has set its pegs for a million subscribers and it jneans to get them or know the reason why. "fA .

A few deluded Southerners believe the Republican party ah enemy to the South. Look back over the past, gentlemen, and put your finger on a single instance where the party has wronged a loyal Southern man, The Republicans are opposed to the Demo cratic party, and will be until Gabriel blows his horn. It opposes the Socialists and the Populists on. the same puncheon. The Demo cratic party of the present time doesn't advo cate" a single well-defined principle. It was for free silver until the masses repudiated the idea as a lunacy, it stood for non-ex- ! pansion until the people, voted overwhelm fnelv the other way. It doesn't stand -for any thing now. Its ranks are filled to overflow ing with .rundown politicians and disgrunt led office-seekers. God pity the howling crew! Uy sianaenng nciiuuuuiu aiijf they elected: Cleveland,-and he came ace of bankrupting the nation. in an v Andy Carnegie wants to live ten years long er and he has offered Death two hundred million dollars to keep back and let him en joy it. But xleath scorns the bribes and yet Andy has this consolation that only the good die young. The law has been passed that no National Bank can contribute to a campaign fund provided a Congressman or a President is running. This does not cut out the cheap cizars or the poor whiskey, so the Democrats will not feel the pressure of this nev law. ' A spavined jack-ass out in Ohio sends back the last issue of the Yellow Jacket and writes on the. margin in direct violation of the pos tal laws: "stopp yr damd iayper bekaws it haint my politics nohow." Here is another Democrat that a friend tried to' enlighten but we cannot furnish a maul -with each issue to pound sense into a numb-skull. Mrs. Russell Sage has recently coughed a million and a quarter of dollars to two worthy enterprises. . Old Uncle Russ used to wear a fifty cent hat through two seasons, and if he heard about his wife's donation he wHl waht his spirit operated on for appendicitis. It must have given him a terrible nain. fon der that that fiVe thousand dollar steel vault didn't burst open and Uncle Sage come run ning up to turn in the fire alarm. " Maybe though, the fire has been burning ;ome time. Count Bonl 'is writing begging letters to Madam Anna and threatening to commit sui cide if she refuses to let him see her. Inas mnrhas nothinsr would suit the Gould family better it looks like the Count was playing into their hands, 'rne Jount nowever wanis to Ke her about a loan, doubtless, and is try- ing to work a flim-flam game on her heart.-.
