There Is some hope, there fore, that some time or other in the sweet by and by the G.-D. will learn that the civil war closed in 18C1 and will cease to wave the bloody -shirt. General Nelson A. Miles must be sur feited with "mentions" for high polit ical places He 'was first Mentioned for president, then for vice president, then for governor of Massachusetts. Oh, what a fall was there, my country men! The political growth of Hon. Jobnj D.

Some Opinions by the Next Speaker, That non. Joseph G. Cannon of Illi- ' ndis, affectionaiely'v called. Uncle Joe, ia destined to be the next speaker if he lives is known of all mei Ue appears to be In high good humor with all the world. Recently he was In Omaha. A dispatch from .that city runs in this : wise:; w'i;:;:.:::H'5i' . ; ' Congressmaa ' Joseph Cannon -was In Omaha today, and when -asked regarding ,. currency tegisiatlon at the coming slon of eomrreu replied: - k v; - "That's something I'm saying little about. Besides, - we're not sure of just what is happening and what is needed. . It's true a lot of the eastern follows think they an In a bad way and -need currency legislation to help them out, but 1 notice ' that stocks are not down to a good In vestment basis even - now. You see. ..they've got everything- way up too high and tilings are getting back to normal." On the lynching question Mr. Cannon said: -. k; - ' "Why, blank it I'm an optimist about . this. This question will right Itself by the uprising, of- a healthful public sentiment. The American people are fitted for self government. They've proved It on man? another occasion: "They'll prove It now. Mob violence will b wiped out In this country. . It Is poss'. bio. that our judicial procedure Is "a little t!o .and technical, that there are too many opportunities for quibble and delay, but it's a mighty good system nevertheless. It is the old. English system. It Is built on the English com mon law. It recognizes the principle that It Is better nine guilty men escape than that one Innocent tnnn be punished, and It is atendily approximating the point where men who are Innocent are safe and men who are guilty may expect pun ishment 1 think In the main the people have confidence In out- courts. Such things as the delays of the law. Its loop holes, race prejudice, drunkennesa and the like that excite to mob violence do not Imply that the racb spirit Is to grow end continue to defy our Institutions. The Cannes for mob violence will be trrailuallv h-peneii ot the same time that public sentiment nt-aii'st It Increases. ml thus the evil may lo depended on to riJit its-nr , . ,., . i - . . ; - : tt tt I -itireii tt tt tt tt tt tt tt dorse Mr. Justice Brewer newest rem edy for lynching that Is, to take from the defndant( the right of appeal. Judge Brewer is a most learned and excellent man,' but be appears to have lost his equipoise) in this matter. He think that, by: hurrying the final' dis position .of m criminal' case lynching may be prevented. Very true, and 1 together with all other good citizens, am in favor of expediting trials, but 1 am not hj favor of taking from Amer ican citizens one of their most precious rights that of having their cases pass ed on by a competent court of last re. sort. Anybody observant of trials knows that it Is dead easy sometimes to convict on the flimsiest evidence and again almost impossible to convict ou overwhelming evidence. . Local public opinion has much to do with it Heuee the necessity for a court of appeals, According to Judge Brewer, a man ought to be permitted to appeal a mule case or a dog case from a civil court. but where life or liberty Is involved there must be no appeal. That will not do. Republican Machine Candidates. The St. Louis Globe-LVniocrat, Re publican organ grinder, has had a spasm of virtue. It is said that an open eon fession is eooU for the soul. The G.-D, does not make exactly an open confess- slon as to how Republican nominations have been made In Missouri in the past, but even a guarded confession from it is better than no confession, on the theory that a half loaf is better than no bread. Hitherto It baa been pro claiming from the house tops the In iqnities of the Democrats and the vir rues of the Republicans, but In a recent issue it takes a tumble to Itself. Speak lng of an impending event, it says: When the Republican state convention meets It must be with a purpose to select the best men tor candidates and to ap prove the principles for whose advance ment the party exists. A state conven f Ion of nearly a thousand Republicans an assemblage that can be trusted to do the right ' thing- in choosing candidates and shaping', a platform. But suppose some group of schemers comes forward with a cut and dried programme and tries to cram it down the throats of delegates, taking from them the functions or which they were elected. Such thin! aave oeen known to haeDen. In that event a few Blotters cheat the convention and the people also by an act of insolent usurpa tion. - -v.-- s -.--'.crfr . It la for the Republican state conven tlon of next year, in its own time 'and way, by Its majority vote, to select nomi nees for the governorship and other state offices. ' It IS not for professional politi cians and patronage hucksters to get to gether and .fix up a slate. , What unlim ited presumption It Is to . attempt that bunko on a large1 body of accredited Re publican delegates! Each, delegate should go Into the convention realising that it is nil nuBBiuu mm uuijr w tiniutm m . share aa it unit in that body and to resent all attempts to turn him Into a cipher. The nominations must bs made by the convention RselfT'not by some impudent cabal that lays the wires to do tne con ventlon'a work for It in advance without Its knowledge or consent. .That thimble- rig has been played too often in the post Attention is ca!ied particularly to the last sentence. "That thiniblerltf has been played too, often In the past" Moat assuredly, but the G.-D. is very late In corifexslng It : Better late than never; however. ; Of course, jif Jumped about the confession;, the G.-D. will probnbly undertake to wriggle out of it by claiming that it had reference to the MiiiJourl Democrats and not to the Missouri Republicans, but the context shows that In an unguarded moment Hie "G.-D. actually told a' truth about Its partners In political sin. Perhaps the editor wns absent and tbe above editorial was written: by apprentice hand. The G.-D. is to be congratulated even on a half confession. It is astonlsWngboV certain news papers turn np their , noses at Joseph Pulitzer's munificent gift of ff 2,000 a to endow a school of Journalism They make merry with Joseph for supposing that an editor or a journalist or re porter needs any special training or that there can be any special training for. a newspaper man. These -splenetic ed itors should not permit the green eyed monster to feed upon their damask cheeks. V Mr. Pulitzer baa done nobly no toatteri what, the Outcome of bis generosity. He bad the" $2,000,000. He made It himself, and be bad a perfect right to do as he pleased with It What motive animated him Is not known, but until convinced to the contrary by proof positive and Incontrovertible I choose to believe that bis motive Is good, that his sole desire Is to help poor boys struggling for a. foothold and that be wishes to be Instrumental In elevating that profession In which be has been such a' shining success. Bven if be-, has thrown away his $2,-j 000.000 and in expending it as be is -doing he Is seeking the unattainable. he. should be given full credit for act ing with patriotic and philanthropic Intent - It Is a ten to one shot that the reason for Mr. Pulitzer's liberality Is his recollection of his own career in the newspaper business, beginning as a re porter for the Westllche Post and -ending as proprietor of two great news papers, the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. To argue thai Fulitzer ia a phenomenally great ed itor and newspsiprr proprietor would lx work of supererogation, for tte fad that.

Happy Patterson. ; ''"One ot the most famous passages of i&Jfred Lord Tennyson's most famous poem, "Locksley UalL" runs In this wise; In the spring a fuller crimson comes spea , the robin's breast; . In the spring the wanton lapwing takes himself another crest; la the spring a livelier Iris changes on the burnished dove: In the spring a young man's fancy lightly ifs tarns o thoughts sf isvs. j, , j Vo ttoubc an .these .things happen In the spring, but' Lord Tennyson was away off if be supposed that It Is jpiy In the spring that "a young man s .run cy.Jightly turns to tbonghta of loye,.' It may be so in effete Kurope, out yonng man's fancy Is not so circum scribed as to time in America. '-' At least Hon. Malcolm R. Patterson, rep resentative In congress from Memphis, Tenn will niake his "alfer dary" to the fact that a.jroung nun'a fancy, Is likely to .take such turn at any sea son of the year, especially when Mis sonrt Klrl Is the magnet which turns his fancy. Press dispatches from Car thage, Mo., announce his engagement to Miss Sibyl Hodges of that delectable little city. Brother Patterson is evi dently a man of exquisite taste. The bride elect came very near being one of my constituents, her maternal grand parents having resided within my ball! wick for years, and her aunt, Mrs. Robert M. White, wife of the celebrat ed editor, Colonel Bob White, belug among my most valued constituents, Colonel Patterson has set a good ex ample to all bachelor and widower congressmen. To all of them 1 say "Go and do likewise." It is a scientific fact that marriage leads to longevity especially marriage with a Missouri woman. There are several eligibies on the congressional roster General Har ry Bingham and Hon, Robert Adams, Jr., of Philadelphia, for instance. Mor- plage with Sllssouri women might make Democrats of them and land them in the senate. A Missouri wife might land Hon. William Sulzer of New York In the WThite House. There are others who are missing an opportu nfty to be happy for life. GoodI The St. Louis Globe-Democrat talks arrant nonsense when it talks politics. On most other subjects It Is sane. It is a pleasure to. find In its editorial co! amns anything commendable. When a thing of that character is discovered it ought to be exploited to tbe fullest ex tent and given a wider circulation than that of theG.-D. In order to encourage It In well doing. Discussing tbe Re publican policy of abandoning the Mis souri river, the G.-D. says: ,-'', It la a mistake on the part of the gov ernment to abandon the Missouri river pommisslon. It should rather be strength ened for engineering work. The Missouri has an Important .future- In Irrigation, and its navigable uses are by no means to bo regarded as ended. In -building the great Irrigation dam on the Nile the British government has aided the craft that regu larly navigate the river, : Missouri ft dele gation In congress ought to work together to induce the government to study the possibilities of , the broad stream that lnds through so , many ' states and is destined to be of untold advantage to all. Continuous Investigations ought to be car' rled on by engineers under the direction of the national authorities until the best comprehensive plan for its improvement la fixed upon. A river of continental mag nitude cannot be abandoned as unmanageable.-- What the Missouri river needs Is to' be fully and scientifically, inter preted. Important If , True. General Frederick' Dent Grant, com mander of the. department of Texas has made two discoveries which are important If true (1) that we should hasten to fortify our Mexican border because, as he alleges, the Mexlcaus are fortifying; (2) tnatrtbe canteen- ought to be restored to the army as a temperance measure. This latter su gestion Is respectfully referred to the professional temperance folks with tbe statement that General Grant Is, him self a teetotaler. . ; s -AM to the necessity for fortifying our Mexican border, that Is all moonshine. We can't haTe a war. with Mexico un less we are tbe aggressors, and unless we lose our senses we. never will have war with- ber. If she is fortifying against us it is because our newfangled Jingo policy has caused her to fear that we have sinister designs on ber north, era states.
