George Fitch, in the Wisconsin State Jour nal. New York city is the biggest city iu the world, not because it has the most people but because it does the biggest things. New York has only a paltry 5, 000,000 people, including million aires not taxed, while London has 8,000,000 who live near enough to it to be annoyed by motor omni- busses. But New York makes Lon don look like a collection of Dutch ovens. iSew lork contains the allest buildings in the world, the greatest bridge3 in the world, the greatest commerce, the most terri fic hote!s, the loudest subway, the greatest tinaneers, and most prince ly grafters on this planet or any so far as known. New York, in fact, is so big hat many a small man has swelled up until he bursts while trying to fill it. New York was founded on Manhattan Island almost 300 years ago, but has now spread out over the country like a heavy rash until flat buildings are being built as far as the third satellite of Jnbiter. The city takes thi raw immigrants from Europe and works them up into census stetistics and garment work ers at the rate of 200,000 a year. It also takes young geniuses of all kinds from the West and dooms to a life of poverty at $15,000 a year on the 19th floor of an apartment house. It leads the nation iu fin ance, commerce, manufacturers, skyscrapers, reactionaries, drama dress suits, hotel prices, automo biles and press agents. One reason why New York has become so fa mous is the fact that her writeis would rather advertise her free of charge than get $1,000 aweek for exploring Chicago and other sec tions of tbe wild interior. New York is famous for its $15,- 000,000 private residences and also for its skill in stuffing 5,000 people into a single block on the East Side It has produced Theodore Roose velt, J. P. Morgan and George M Cohan, but only worships the last two. It is the richest city in the world, and doesn't give a whoop who knows it. It is connected with the rest of the nation by six tun nels and a few congressmen and with Europe by 20 steamship lines and 150 fathers in-law of titles. The most celebrated sight;? in New York are Wall street, Broad way, the 50-story office building, Central park, the East River bridge the Statute of Liberty, the Fensy : vania station, Chinatown, the Hun garian restaurants, the Jewish quarter, little Italy, the Irish con sulate at the city hall, the Viennese operas, theEuglish dotes on Fifth avenue, the old Dutch aristocracy, the African prize fighters, tie Turkish baths, and an American alderman on Long Island. One could easily spet a mouth seeing sights in New York, but. ow ing to the far greater ease with which one can spend everything else he has, most people come home at tbe end of a week in the day coach. As Good Now as Then. When the Republican national convention was- held at Chicago, Colonel Roosevelt wa3 an avowed Republican seeking the nomination at the hands of his party for Presi dent of the United States. A. change of 10 per cent, in the vote of that convention would have made him the nominee. But he was not no minated and we find him now de nouncing the Republican party, declaring it "a mere husk, with no soul in it," unfit to be trusted with the adminstration of. governmental affairs. He declares that he has broken with the Republican party j for gocd, and he is doing everything ! which lies in him to disrupt that ' party, to bring it down to def jat. j and to put into office and in control i of all departments of government ; the. Democratic party. Neither, Roosevelt nor any one of the intel ligent ones among his followers has any serious idea that he could by any possibility be elected. The sole purpose of his movement is to defeat, the Republican party in the present campaign. Yet had a hand ful of the members of the Chicago convention been bought or persuad ed to vote for Roosevelt, in viola tiou. of their instructions, Roosevelt would have remained a Republican he would have found nothing in the attitude of the Republican party to criticise; he would be appealing to the American people to continue the Republican party in power; he would have been pointing to the dangers of giving the Democrats a gain'control of the government. Toe one and only thing necessary to have kept Roosevelt a consister t and lojal Republican was the nom ination which was denied him. Tte Republican party isthesime party that il was when he solicited it to accept him as its nominee. Tbe The party has not changed but Col lioosevelt has and by so doing has forsaken and vili fie?, and abuses the very agency that has won him dis tinction and lame and all because, by a close shave, he failed to re ceive the nomination of President at Chicago. Can we not call it in gratitude? What other expression would more properly suit the easel Union Republican. Not Enamored of Newspaper Sub scription Contests. Monroe Enquirer. Another one of these lightning tongued representatives of a news paper contest concerns "hove" this way last Monday and started to use his chin about how., .beautiful it would be to see the dollars rolling iuto this print shop and new names . put on the subscription list while the proprietors took their ease and a lot of Jit tie girls hustled for sub scriptions, and when every leg pos sible had been pulled and the very life worried out of every bod', just one of those little girls would get that piano. It was no gambling game oh,- no for the man said it was not. Maybe it was not again- j bling scheme, but si far as the folks 'in this office are concerned thev would just as soon go cut and gam ble with a nigger on au August day t?s to go into a game with a pie faced schemer from windy Chicago to get a lot of little girls, the dau ghters of our own people and tl ose who have always been our friends, to go out and do hard work build ing up our business and (Tve them nothing for it. The man who thinks he under stands women keeps himself so busy listening to them that he h good for nothing else.
