The State should fight the receiv ership of the dispensary to the last *Lh. _ The public had better get ready to hold its nose, as the Thaws are about to ventilate their matrimonial infe licities in the divorce courts. The News and Courier says the Republicans are not worrying them selves about Nebraska. Neither are they worrying themselves about Minnesota. The New York Sun predicts that Bryan as the Democratic presiden tial candidate will carry that State against any candidate the Republi cans can nominate. Mr. j. A. McCullough has with drawn from the Senatorial race, since he accepted the receivership of the dispensary at the hands of Judge Pritchard. It is well. Gov. Ansel was racner unfortu "sate in the selection of at least two of his five members of the winding mp commission. They deserted at the first opportunity to the enemy. It will be a long time before Messrs. McCullough and Henderson will hear the last of that receiver ship. In many quarters they will be regarded as traitors to their native State as long as they live. A dispatch from Lob Angeles aays a plan for defeating Bryan by bringing out candidates from many sections of the country is being worked by the so-called Democrats who really want a Republican elect ed President. ..The Milwaukee Free Press re marks that the New York World's efforts have resulted in presenting to the country sixteen "desirable Democratic candidates" for presi dent, but not in raising a ripple against the Bryan wave. Since Gov. Johnson has declared that he is in favor of the nomination of Bryan a so-called Democratic bureau in Washington has declared for Ex-Gov. Douglass, of Massa chusetts. Anybody to beat Bryan is the cry of the plutocratic Demo crats, The Republican Supreme Court of Ohio has decided that the convic tion of the Bridge Trust magnates is unconstitutional and turned them lose. Of course these gentlemen are expected to contribute liberally towards the Republican campaign fund. The House Committee on coinage, weights and measures has reported in favor of the bill tojrestore to cer tain coins the motto "In God we Trust," which was removed some months ago by order of the Presi dent. Teddy will have to use his big stick. The Boston Transcript says: "The old South may be counted for Bry an, in spite of the screams againt his nomination of the Charleston News and Courier." That is right. Bryan has the South for him now and in November he will have the entire country for him. Mr. Arthur, one of the wind'ng ?up commission of the dispensary, charged mileage from Richmond, Va., where he had gone on private business, to Columbia. If one of the attaches of the old State dispensary had done such a thing as that it would have been graft of the rank est kind. Wonder whc.t they call it in Arthur's case? This Edgefield Advertiser says: "If ?some hemp rope is not soon needed in Richi?ur! wl Lexington counties, the la*a pr?_?, i for capital pun ishment had as well be abolished." Richland and Lexington are not the only counties in the state where hemp is needed. We believe a lit tle of it could be advantageoutly used in every county in the State oc "Tb? Kentucky SenatorsbJp." The Springfield Republican says "the outcome of the Kentucky sen atorship contest furnishes another telling argument for the election of United States senators directly by ,' the people. The legislature was De mocratic on joint ballot by eight vot es, and, according to the ordinary rules of the political game, the Dem ocratic party was entitled to the sen atorship. Four Democratic mem bers, however, refused to be bound by the verdict of the Democratic I primaries of the State in favor of i Former Gov. Beckham, and thus a deadlock was created. ? "The final election of a Republi can, Mr. Bradley, was brought about under circumstances that do not reflect favorably upon the pre sent system. Two Democratic mem bers fell ill and were absent without pairs, while another had died. The four Democratic bolters then voted for the Republican candidate al though, when their purpose Was fi nally disclosed, Beckham released all of his followers from their primary pledges ?nd offered to support the releection of Senator McCreary or any other Democrat upon whom the party could agree. For the Demo cratic bolters to persist in voting for the Republican candidate, under such conditions, was, from a party point of view no doubt, political treachery of an exceptional nature. "No such action was ever taken in Delaware by the Republican ODon ents of Addicks even, in the years of his malodorous struggle for a place in the United States senate, although there were many occasions when a combination would easily have sent a decent Democrat to Washington. 'The fact that these four Kentucky Democrats were willing to deprive their own party of a senator, and at the same time increase the Republi can majority in the United States senate, reveals again the progressive demoralization of the Democratic party and the extreme bitterness of its factional feuds. "These legislative contests over senatorships are vicious to an excep tional degree if they result in a State being misrepresented. Wheth er Kentucky is Republican ore Democratic on national issues, at the present time, may be a mooted ques tion. On State issues last Novem ber, it elected a Republican gover nor, the legislature remaining Dem ocratic, but the same voters might have chosen a Democrat to the sen ate had they been given the chance of voting directly on the senatorship question. However the electors might have decided as between Bradley and Beckham and other can didates, they would at least have set tled the issue beyond further dis pute. And' the popular choice would have been made clear. But now Kentucky has a senator elected through an extraordinaay complica tion of accidents, feads and deals; and no one knows whether or not he js the real choice of the people." Blames the President. Some Republican papers, especial ly those of the independent kind, are giving their readers information of the sorry pass the Republican party has brought the country to. Thus the New York Sun declares we are now indebted to President Roosevelt for: "Private confidence and credit shattered; decreasing business; emp ty freight cars and empty pay envel opes; railroad employees and indus trial workers laid off by the hundred thousand; disaster made entirely Re publican; the Constitution kicked one side like a broken teddy bear; the courts insulted; capital persecuted and frightened; suspicion and hatred sown sedulosly among classes whose prosperity or adversity is insepar ably mutual; half veiled, sinister prophecies of riot; the army demor alized by favoritism, the navy em barked upon a mysterious and dan gerous adventure; currency reform unachieved, civil service reform made a byword." The Sun might have added that Trusts have been fined but no trust magnate, however guilty, is yet in stripes. Harriman, that malefactor of great wealth, is at large and is said to be again likely to be a dele gate to the Republican national con vention. The Trusts are still selling abroad cheaper than at home and the margin is larger than ever against the American people. Ser ious scandals in Congress, to say nothing of frauds being widespread. Such and more is the Pandora box of evils that the people inherit from Republican rule. Another Scandal. Another scandal is brewing in Congress, but that is nothing new for a Republican Congress. It gen erally has one or more on its hands. In 1902 there were charges made and evidence produced that the j same Holland-Electric Boat Compa- j j ny that is now under charges was i mixed up in dubious transactions, .and those eminent Republican statesmen Lemuel E. Quigg and i Congressman Lester were toasted over the fires of investigation, but were whitewashed by a considerate! Congress. At that time Congress man Lessler said he would not trust but one of the Republican members of the committee on Naval Affairs and now Congressman Lilley pavs he has evidence against five oi them. This time they have Ex-Senator M. C. Butler, of this State, mixed up in the scaadal, and that gentleman im mediately went to Washington to face his accusers when he heard of his name being connected with a shady trausaction in connection with the Holland-Electric Company that is now under invention. The Ex Senator was real mad. To Probe for Graft. Chairman Wanger of the House Committee on Expenditures in the Post-office Department proposed to investigate that department on the ground that "Some of the expendi tures appear to have been made in contravention of law." No doubt he has in mind the payment of the salary and expenses of Assistant Postmaster General Frank Hitch cock while engaged in influencing Southern postmasters to work for Taft's presidential boon. The Com mittee on Expenditures in the war Department would do well to follow Mr. Wanger's example, and inquire into the payment of Taft's own sal ary and expenses out of the Treas ury, while he is engaged in traveling and speaking in the advancement of his own boom. Such grafting ought to be exposed aud punished, even though it is countenanced by Presi dent Roosevelt. The State says: "If you do not see the name of the candidate you want, ask for him." Gov. Johnson ha.* declared that he is for Bryan and w ant him nomi nated. He knows that Bryan is the strongest candidate the Demo crats can nominate, and will do all he can for him. % DOLLAR AND TrIE PESO. What a Dollar Means in Mexico Has Been Settled. The question in Mexico of what a "dollar" means has r. gently been authoritatively settled- The Depart, ment of Finance has decided that the word "dollar'' shall mer.n the Ameri can gold dollar and that when the Mexican silver dollar s meant the word "peso" shali be employed. Somem tlmem ago an American res ident at Tamplco wrote ' uollar" on a check, and the Tamplco bank cashier to whom the check was presented paid the amount In gold values. The drawer of the* check claimed that it was hla Intention to have sliver paid. Litigation was threatened, but upon Investigation the authorities decided against the drawer of the check. The Mexican ruling applies to all docu ments, ?notes, drafts, &c. Trains?Siberian Railway. The train on the Trans-Siberian railway are in general comfortable and sufficiently well kept. The food is quite sufficient. The speed is very slow, however, and the stop? at sta tions long and tedious. In general, it is better for a foreigner not familiar with the Russian language to travel by the International trains, because the employes thereon in all cases speak either French, German or En glish In. addition to Russian and the toilet arrangements on International trains are much superior to those on the State railways. Freaks In Statuary. A sculptor was talking about freak statuary. "I turn out a lot of it," he said. "Not that I like to. I have to. So many of our millionaires have un couth tastes. "I made last fall portrait busts of a Western millionaire and his wife The wife wears spectacles and noth ing would do but I must put spec tacles on her bust. I argued, but in vain. That bust stands in the millionaire's spacious library to-day, and spectacles rest on Its nose. "I did last month a bust in col ors, a bust of a young girl. The marble hair I gilded, the marble eyes I painted blue, and the marble lips and cheeks I flecked with red. A hldeouB thing, yet the family were delighted. "The freakiest of my freak statues stands in a Boston garden. It is the statue of the owner's grandfather, an old Presbyterian dvme. The aged man stands in the center of a bed of jonquils, and out of the top of his plujr hat a jet of water spurts, fall ing Into a marble basin that he holds in his hands, a basin wherein swim half a dozen goldfish. The Idea of treating one's grandfather like that!" Understood His Business. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee told the fol lowing story recently, an illustrating the unconscious humor of many Irish men: "A true son of the Emerald Isle had applied at a recruiting sta tion in Buffalo for enlistment in the army. The officer In charge asked him jokingly, if he knew anything about drilling. 'Drillln', was It ye said, sor?' replied the irishman; 'an' shure I've worked in the New York suoway flr two years. Drillln' bedadl Ask me another, sor.' " Natural Mourning. Fifty years ago the British minister at Dresden. Mr. Forbes, had three lit tle dogs of the Pomeranian breed, one black, one gray and one white. When the court was in mourning he went out with dog No. 1, when it was in half mourning with dog. No 2 aad when all was going well with dog No. 3. Even a pessimist can see more good in the world than the world can see in him A WOLF'S PEAR OP IRON. So Cautious Are They Few Brer Get Caught in a Trap. In the early days wolves were com. paratively. unsuspicious, and it was cj ? to tn... or |;o)&;>a ibem Then kto pledge, a ne.v cuniprelieu;-on of the modern dangers, seemed to spread among the wolves. They learned how to detect and defy the traps and poison, and in some ivaj the knowledge was passed fron? one to another, till all wolves wers. full) possessed of the Information. How this is done it not easy to say. It is easier to prove that it is done. Few wolves ever get into a trap, fewer still get into a trap and out again, and thus they learn that s steel trap is a thing to be feared And yet all wolves have tla know ledge, as every trapper knows, and since they could not get it at first hand, they mu?t have got it second hand?that is, tne information wat communicated to them by others o! their kind. ... It is well known among hunters that a piece of Iron is enough tc protect any carcass from the wolres If a deer or antelope has been shot and is to be left out overnight, all that Id needed for its protection Is an old horseshoe, a spur, or even any part of the hunter's dress"; No wolf will go near *>? ;h suspicious looking or human tainted things. They will starve rather than ap proach the carcass so guarded. With poison, a similar change has come about. Strychnine was con sidered infalliable when first it was Introduced. It did vast destruction for a time; then the wolves seemed to discover the danger of thai par ticular smell and would no lunger take the poisoned bait as I know from numberless experiences. It is thoroughy well known among cattlemen now that the only chance of poisoning wolves is in the late summer and early autumu. when the young are beginning to run witb the mother. She cannot watch ovei ail of them the whole time, and there is a chauce of some of them finding the bait and taking It before they have been taught to let that sort of smell-thing alone. The result i? that wolves are on the Increase. They have been, in deed, since the late *>0's. They have returned to many of their old hunting grounds in the cattle coun tries, and each year they seem to be more numerous and more widely spread, thanks to their mastery of the new problema forced upon them by civilization.?American Magazine. Strange Dishes Lion's flesh is said to furnish a very good meal. Tiger meat is not so palatable; for It is tough and sinewy. In India, nevertheless, it in esteemed, because there is a super stition that it imparts to the eater some of the strength and cunning that characterises the animal. This notion is not. of course, held by the followers of Brahma and Buddha,; whose religion forbids the eating of flesh. There appears to be considerable difference of opinion among authori ties on the snbjeit as to the merits of elephant's flesh as an article of diet. By some it is considered a dainty; but here is the authority of at least one European against it. Stanley said that he frequently taat ed elephant's flesh, and that it was more like soft leather and glue than anything else with which he could compare it. Another explorer, how ever, declares that he cannot, imagine how an animal so coarse and heavy as the elephant could produce such delicate and tender flesh. All au thorities agree in commending the J elephant's foot. Even Stanley ad mitted that baked elephant's foot was a dish fit for a king. When an elephant is shot In Af rica the flesh is cut into strips and dried. This is called biltong. The foot having been cut off at tlie knee joint, is saved to make a feast. A hole about three feet deep is dug In the earth, and the sides of it are baked hard with burning wood. Most of the fagots are then removed, and the elephant's foot is placed in the bole, which is filled with earth tight ly packed. The process is complet ed by building a Mazing fire on top. This Is kept burning for three hourB. Thus cooked, the flesh Is like Jelly, and can be eaten with a spoon. It 1? the greatest delicacy that can be given to a Kafir. Lincoln's Orderly Mind. Lincoln's mind was orderly, thou I gh hlB methods were not. He ne glected details because his thought, which was "as direct as flight," pass ed instantly to the vital Bpot, and all else seemed unimportant, 'if 1 can free this case from technicalities an.1 get it properly swung to the Jury I'll win it," he uaed to say; and thi.-? was his mental attitude toward all legal questions. He had no training In technicalities as long as the firm of Stuart & Lincoln lasted, and It ip doubtful If any teaching would have qualified him for attorney work or made him a master of detail. Vet as an office lawyer, such as rules the destinies of our modern corpora'? Interests, he probably would havv been Invaluable. His mind compre hended large subjects without the slightest effort. Once concentrs-. i on an issue he passed directly ;c the point, disregarded the thousand and one contingencies, all the Rende mic pros and cons and reduced th? problem to Its simplest possible fori:: ?Century Magazin. $15 DOLLARS 8AVED TO ORGAN CUSTOMERS For Next 40 Days.
