In tris letter from SiouK City, Iowa, Mr. McQhee says: The old Democratic party ia a convenient thing to have close at hand. 4s the way both factions of the widely split Republican party look at it. in ali of these Middle Wes*?r*? 'Rates there is a good sprinkling of Democrats. not enough to get anywhere - ' very much, and for thlfl reason amenaMe to various kinds of overtures from Republicans of this persuasion or that. In large numbers the Democrats go Into the Republican primaries und *ieip choose the candidates. Then they try to beat the men they've voted for, but generally fail. The Republican candidates naturally make Appeals to Democrats in one way or another, and this whole condition Of affairs has been steadily annihilating the bitterness between the apr treios. Especially has the old-time party antagonism been dissipated by the growing bitterness between the two factions of the Republican party. Rut the Democrats are used by the Republicans in another way. Nearly every old line, or regular, or Btandpat Republican out here who has studied or is supposed to have studied the congressional campaigu will ?:?y, and seems rather to enjoy say-j i?A I h'.l l?.n : 11 ...ni ...... luo i/rmu< lino WHI uumi iiiieiy have the house of representatives in the next congress. My observation in politics has tang it ice that among politicians nearly a.ways he wish is father to the thought. The old line Republicans enjoy the contemplation of a Demo >"ii .11 victory in November because tbey think the defeat of the Republic in (tarty would in large measure vindicate their position. Having no higa er conception of politics, or statesmanship, or whatever else you ( ill it, than the preservation of their -party's hold 011 the government and Tide by those men who call theni-seives Republicans, they want to 4 each the leaders of the insurgent movement a lesson. "If we had been able to have our way," they will say, J*|he Republican party would have remained in complete possession of the government. Now see what you ^have done; you huve given ovei the government to .the enemies of the party." Observe always that with I he general run of old-line Republicans the parLy is everything; the country, nothing. Of course, giving theni credit for patriotism, for the rank and file of real Republicans, even of the Old school, must he credited with their share of patriotism, the theory Of the Republican party is that what ta good for the country, and the continued success of the (J. O. I*. Is necessary for the welfare of the vaiuu;. us assume, men, out; of charity, that the reason they do not say much nhout the good of the ctvuntry .aud ro much about the good of the party that everybody knows 41uii they are the same. Now. everybody does not seem to know It. not at least in this part of the country, and so a great many are going to vote the Democratic ticket. The rank and tile of the insurgeut Republicans, as a matter of fact, care very little about party integrity. The Old stand-patters admit this, and that they say, is the trouble and the danger; the people should be taught to remain loyal to party rather than "uCouraged to break away. But, they ?a>*. if these insurgents who are Jlyfcck.inga.the party insist on hanging! themselves, we will give them the whole rope and let them hang themselves quickly aud to the queen's taste. Then, think the stand-patters, the old-line Republicans, these reckless fellows like Cummins, Bristow, {.a Follette, Murdock and the others, will quit their foolishness, and let ome real political leaders take hold of tilings again. There is nothing new in this.

The average sajary paid to minlaters in the Untted States is $633 a ear, according to a bulletin that ihe government has just issued. This conclusion is reached from figures for the year 1906. There were then 164,830 Christaln ministers in the United States, and 1,084 Jewish rabbis. They Increase in number at the rate of nearly 4,000 a year, the total salary paid to ministers in 1906 was $69,667,587. More than half the Christaln ministers are included in the Baptist and the Methodist denominations. There are a number of ministers in New York who receive $5,000 a year. The hightest salary ever offered to a minister In New York was $18,000 a year. It was offered by the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian churcty and he declined it. Several ministers in N w York receive $15,000 a year and a dozen or so $12,000 a year. These are the hightest salaries for ministers in the world. I^ondon and Berlin averages are hardly more than $3,000 a year. That is, a London minister who gets $3,000 is near the top. In New York he is near the bottom. The government shows the average salaries of ministers in cities huviug 300,000 population and over to be : Baptist $1,793; Congregational $1,938; Methodist $1,642: Presbyterian. $2,400; Protestant Kpisoopal, $1,873; Reformtvl. $l.938; Roman Catholic, $684, and Jewish it 4fti Id the smaller cities aud rural districts. ministers' salaries run away dawn. ltaptists In the South average $334. and colored Baptists in the south $227. On the other hand, bodies that are strongest in the cities. like the Unitarian, the Protestant Episcopal, and the Roman Catholic, the averages stay about the same. For example Unitarians receive the highest average salaries of all, their figure being $1,653. The Protestant Episcopal ranges down from $1,517 the Roman Catholic does not fall off at all. , the rural districts ranging higher than the average, at $72 4. The average salaries of Christaln Science readers is only $23 4 for the whole country, with $958 as the average in cities having 300,000 population or more. The government explains this curious fact as that readers are practitioners as a rule, r.nd are expected to earu their own support. In actual money, Methodist ministers get most of all, their salaries amounting annually to $1 6,150,000 Raptists receive $10,323,000. Presbyterians $7,610,000. Roman Catholics $6,779,000. Episcopalians $4.887.000, Congregationalists $4,154,000, Reformed $1,682,000, and Jews $801,000. Not all 1>odies reported, so these figures, in practically every instance, ought to be increased by 'one-fifth for 1908, and another fifth for the present year. It is estimated on the basis of these reports that 1910 $100,000,000 will be paid in salaries, and that congregational exnenses. misHionn ?nil ovUnal^no .?m iuvolvu $300,000,000 more.

Hut he does not say that he wants the insurgents to be taught a lesson; evidently he wants that, but he was too considerate to say it. His idea is that the Deinocrnts. should they have the house, would not 1k? able to do anything, and hence there would be no real Democratic advantage in gaining the house, while the lesson which the Republican insurgents would be taught would have the effect of putting a stop to the insurgent foolishness, lie goes even further than that, does this standpat leader, with respect to the effect a Democratic triumph in November would have. He thinks, just as niogt of the Republican leaders think, or pretend to think, that the Democrats would be apt to do something foolish, and so make the country anxious to return to complete Republican domination. . i- -Vl . RURAL MAIL CARRIER ?S THK MODERX KXLIOHTKNKK TO COUNTY PLACKS. A Georgia Oo temporary Pays a High Tribute to the Men Who Carry the Mall.. The Georgian says the rural mall 'arrier is the modern enlightener, that's what he is?this driver of the t-lage-ocuch of rural progress. He came into existence only a few j f ars a?.o. But do you know what be, with his increasing numbers, has ne since then ? He turned the rural sections of i lie United States squarely about and made new places of them. He opened up the way for the new clentl'flc agriculture a~nd the new agricultural education that is becoming such a tremendous force in American life?a thing that will add milI'cns to the wealth of the farm and, therefore, to the nation. That's what he has done and is doing. And, in addition, every day he l,rings brightness and Joy to places where brightness and joy came a'l too seldom. As a dispenser of cheer and hepriness his equal probably has never een known. He is wo.'.lv r-f the highest place in the most enthusiastic sunshine circle or smile club known. Daily he b-"?rs thenews of the world and. therefore, a bj. of its 'isdom and culture, to the isolated homes of the farm. It's hard to conceive of a more ennobling occupation. As a matter of fact, the occupation reacts on Jhe man with beneficial results. There never was yet a rural free delivery carrier that wasn't a booster; never one that was a pessimist, and never one who, if he held the Job any length of time and was not the hlg* est type of progressive citizen, didnot become so. This foliow8 as a natural result. The rural carrier handles the electric current of civizilation, and necessarily he receives the thrills of its pulsating force. Traversing each day a wide territory. he observes what farming operations are being carried on; he notes fhe affairs of community life. He has perhaps a broader view and. therefore, knows more of the conditions of his neighhood than any other man in it. No man is more sensitive to its needs than he, or sees more clearly what can operate for its improvement. ii inere exists anything like and improvement club or betterment society, he is usually the head if It, and bis efforts are not lukewarm, but are enthusiastic and persistent Enlightening others, he enlightens himself. Bringing good citizenship to others, he acquires It himself on the way. Distributing news, knowledge and gctod cheer, his duty trip is a sort of triumphal march. His coming is watched for in advance. He is sighted far down the road. He is met with a welcome and what he brings is received with joy, and the words with which he is dismissed, "Come again," are no mean'ngless phrase. A VKUY STH.WCK CASK. Man's Muscles Hardening, the Result of Hook Worm. Physicians at Richmond are greatly interested in the case of M. L. Peadon, a Pitt county, N. C., farmer, who is in a hospital for the treatment of a form ,of ossification. This condition is regarded as due to a form of the hook worm disease from which he suffered two years ago. Six months ago he noticed a hard ening 01 me muscles or his Teet. limbs and hands. It continued to such an alarming extent that the muscles would crack when jarred by walking. The joints of the elbows and fingers developed boil like ulcers. The physician in charge says Peadon is suffering from hardening of the muscles and that it is yielding somewhat to electrical treatment. At TO KILLS TWO.

S .4ceordlaff to the Pirdictloos of the New York World the Republicans W ill B- Routed. If the predictions of the New York ^ World comes true the Republicans will be routed horse, foot and d>'i?Roon next November. Here 1b what the World predicts: The size of the Democratic vi; f?rv . that will be announced on the m >r iing of November 9 next will be staggering. It will include an overwhelming majority In the house of representatives and a gain of many _ United States senators. Onlo, the y president's own State, will be lost to the Republicans. New York, the State of the ex-president, will be sweepingly Democratic. Majorities will be so large that people will tire of computing thein. Not through Democratic virtues j and abilities but in spite of Democratic blunders and weaknesses are those things to come about; not because there are more Democrats than Republicans, but because there are more American progressives than standpatters; not as a rebuke to ^ this man or that man in particular, but a condemnation of many men; not as a rejection of one policy but as a repudiation of many policies; not as an evidence of momentary indignation. but as voicing the demand of a great and free people for liiht, | for truth, for economy, for peace! What ire these bitter Republican quarrels but attempts in advance to escape the judgment which all konw is at hand? There is a mad rush for safety. Responsible men are posing as irresponslbles. Old offenders masquerade as innocents. Sacrifices ^ are offered up in the hope that the popular wrath may he appeased. There is talk even of a third term in the White House for the voclteious and lawness person under whom Cannou and Aldrlch and Payne and Sherman and Dalzell got their strangle grip on party and country. ^ In spite of all this there will be no mistake about that which is to take place in November. It is to be more a Republican defeat than a Democratic victory; more a popular uprising against plutocracy and privilege than a party revival; moree a matured verdic t on Rooseveltisai than upon Republicanism; more a re- j buke of Taft as proxy than of Taft as president; more an expression of hope in Democracy than of faith in Democracy.

Fla., Friday was found the bodies of Kd Christian, a negro charged with shooting deputy Sheriff Allen Hums and liattie Howinan, n negress, who had been arrested on the charge of being implicated in the crime. The negroes were taken from the local jail by a mob which had little trouble overpowering the guards. , Several days a*40 a warrant was sworn out for Christian charging him with the theft of a watch from a local physician. When Burns, accompanied t>y the physician, went to Christians home to make the arrest his call for Christian to come out was greeted from within with a volley of shots, one bullet striking Burns in the breast and another in the arm. His condition is considered critical. As soon as the physician spread the news posses were organized fo capture Christian, but he had made good his escape. The Bowman wo- ? man. however was placed in jail, ac- . cused of having had a hand in the J shooting of the officer. I.ate yester- a day Christian was brought back from Dothan, Ala., where lie was captured. He and the Bowman wonujn were led from the jail with a rope around their necks but no effort was made Friday night to ascer lain wlial the mob did with them. * >11IX OI'KKATIVK WINS SI IT.
