The Democrats in the Heniite will light
the confirmation of W. 1). Uynum to that
$7,500 position McKinley gave him as
the price of his treachery. It is aid that
he was appointed as a Democrat. He is
a full-fledged Hannncrat, and should be
made to quit stealing the livery of heaven
in which to serve the devil. News-Observer.
Russell is reported as being disgusted
with Judge Clark's recent dissenting
opinion. Loge Harris thinks Clark's
opinion tends to anarchy. A leading
member of the Ashevillo bar said when he
had finished reading it: "It is the greatest
opinion every written by any member
of the court during its history." It was
great. It has made the big little men of
the fusion party squirm. Wo pin our
faith on Clark's opinion. He knows
more law, we believe, than all the balance
of the supreme court put together.
William Dean Uowells was asked in
Detroit recently to state his views re
garding expansion, which he did as fol
lows: I am an anti-expansionist and
anti-imperialist. I cunnnt see why we
need any more territory, and I am
against buying men, even at $ 2 a head
A republic has no business with colonial
dependencies. We can never.: handle
them with otfr negligent, slap-dash meth
ods of doing public business. The Eng
lish colonial system has been' the
growth of centuries." He writes facts
as well as fiction.
The Republicans have decided to endeav
or to pass a bill making gold the standard.
With the Republicans favoring the gold
standard, imperialism and expansion,
bounties, trusts, etc., and the Democratic
party representing the opposite of all
these evils, the only chance for the masses
of the people and all except the im
mensely wealthy is to come together in
the Democratic party and elect Bryan
and a congress and senate holding his
views.
The Republican party, now more than
ever before, is the party of the few im
mensely wealthy. The Democratic party
is more than ever, the party of the people.
The Wilmington Messenger says:
"When the war in South Africa was
about to begin, newspapers jumped on
Kruger with both feet and swore he was
all wrong and was to blame for the criti
cal condition. Reading an able paper in
the Edinburgh Review recently on the
recent "Conference and Arbitration," we
were impressed with the following clear
statement: ' The conference at Bloera
fontem between Sir Alfred Milner and
President Kruger failed partly because
Great Britain refused to enter into
arbitration on any terms.' That con
firms exactly what Kruger said about it,
but newspapers with British leanings
said it was not true."

A member of the mining exchange
tells this story of a man doing pen
ance: "I bad a wagon and was driving
out of Denver, on my way to the
mines. The roads were fetlock deep
In dust, and the weather was hotter
than hades. A young fellow halted me
a few miles out and asked If be might
walk behind my wagon. It was the
strangest request I had ever heard.
and I said:
"'Walk behind? No! Get up here
n the seat and ride.' He wore a sort
of sad look and replied:
" 'I don't want to ride, pardner.
ain't fitten to ride and I ain't fltten te
get fltten. Just let me walk behind
your wagon.'
I thought then be must be crazy
and concluded to let him have his way,
The dust rolled up in dense, suffocat

my shoulder, but couldn't get a
glimpse of him. As the team rattled
on, however, I beard bis voice repeat

A story Is told of two prominent Chi
cago lawyers who several years ago
were regarded as being among the
brightest lawyers the state had pro
duced for a long time. There was
great rivalry between these men, and
one day they were having a heated
argument on the steps of the state
bouse at Springfield.
"I'll agree to leave It to the first man
we meet," said one of the wrangling
lawyers fiercely.
"All right, and that will settle It
once for all. Ah! Here Is Charlie
We'll leave it to him."
"Charlie." as the man spoken of ap
proached within hearing distance
"we want you to decide who Is the
best lawyer in Illinois. We agree to
abide by your decision."
"wen," repiiea unarue, nimseir an
old practitioner and well known Id
the capital city, "I plead guilty to be
ing the oest lawyer in the state my
self."
"Why, tJharue, how can it be prov
ed?" inquired the first of the two Chi
cagoans.
"You don't have to prove It," replied
the Springfield man, "I admit It, don't
I?" Detroit Free Press.

The Winston Journal is "kicking," as
it has a right to, against the bigjad
vances in printing paper. It says:
The paper trust is getting in some pret
ty severe work on the newspapers just
now. They have almost doubled the
price of news and promise a still further
advance. It does seem to us that the
newspapers could enter into an arrange
ment to protect themselves from this im
position, for it cannot be properly termed
anything else.
The paper used for newspapers is made
from wood pulp, and the cost of this
pulp is inflmtessimal. The paper mills
claim that the cause of the advance in
paper is due to the trust putting up the
price of pulp. This may be true and it
may not be true, but in any event there
is no plausible reason for it, and it
should not be submitted to.
The newspapers and job printers of
this country should get together and
organize some plan to meet this bleeding
process of the paper mills. With an ad
vance of news of $20 on the ton and
double that amount on job paper, it
amounts to an imposition that should
not be submitted to, and need not, if the
newspapers will combine for mutual pro
tection. If, on a small daily it amount to
hundreds of dollars, on the larger ones
it amounts to thousands.
One way to help do wn the paper trust
would be to make congress repeal the
duty on all materials that enter into the
manufacture of paper. Take the duty

It pays to own real estate where
New York's laboring classes are con
centrated. A man who owns a large,
square building in the down town east
aide district says that It pays him more
than 20 per cent net on the money in
vested. He never has to look for ten
ants and he has no trouble In collect
Ing his rents. A prosperous saloon
keeper has the ground floor, and, of
course, his rent Is guaranteed.
The floors above are rented for sweat
shops. One man hires a floor and sub
lets each window to a man to work by.
If at any time he shows signs of run
ning behind with his rent a dozen win
dow tenants are eager to take the con
tract In his place.
The windows rent for $3 each. This
gives the man who hires the whole
floor his window free, or sometimes a
little more than that The windows in
this particular building are especially
sought after, because there Is a freight
elevator, by which the heavy cloth gar
ments can be hoisted and let down
from the various stories. It runs by
hand power, but even then It Is far bet
ter than carrying the heavy burdens on
the back. New York Press.
