Republican Lilliputians ^ , and Gulliver Reed. 1 V FUMY SIDE OF POLITICS. Ferry S. Heath Would Ostracize the Man From Maine. H2BUTE TO 8PLEOTID GENIUS ?dtozuas ll- Ueed Love* Iiis Country ; Better Than Hi? Party-Peanut Pol ? itics In Regard to Mr. Bryan-Tcd r Es n Boomerang: Candidate. r : Jod&e Jackson'? Pointed Remarks X Anent the Pension Office. [Special Washington LiCtter.] What a pity that Jonathan Swift the mighty dean of St Patrick's, cannot return to earth I Certainly the funniest tiling and the most preposterous that lias happened on earth since the Lil? liputians undertook to conquer Gul? liver is the determination of Perry S. 'Heath et id omne genus to ostracize .Thomas Bracken Eeed in the present .campaign. The unutterable scorn with 3Phich that intellectual Titan must re? gard his pygmy persecutors needs the ?furious genius and merciless pen of Swift to describe it 'Twouid be worth ten years of peaceful life to see big ?Tom roll in to Republican headquar? ters while Perry and his petty political pirates are in council as to how they priU. bobble the man from Maine. ! .Blessed stars, how they would take .to cover, get out. vamoose, skedaddle, | absquatula?! The Lilliputians drew up certain regulations for the conduct of Gulliver, ! whom they called "The Man Moun- j tain." which regulations I commend to Perry ct al. in their endeavor to tie up Mr. Reed. Here they are: "First-The Man Mountain shall not depart from our dominions without our license under our great seal. "Second.-Ile shall not presumo to j come into our metropolis without our I express orders, at which the inhabit? ants shall have two hours* warning to keep within doors. ."Third.-The said Man Mountain .shall confine his walks to our principal highroads and not offer to walk cr lie down in a meadow or Geld of corn. "Fourth.-As he walks the said reads 1 he shall take the utmost care not to trample upon the bodies of any of our loving subjects, their horses or car- j riages and not to tase any of our sub- j jects into his hands without their owu consent*' Most Brilliant American. Surely the ferocious Swift when he j wrote "Gulliver's Travels" must have j had in his mind's eye the events now j transpiring about Republican head- j quarters. Unquestionably Reed is The j Man Mountain, and it would-be awful If he should walk or lie >".owu in the Republican meadows or fields of corn, and in the language of rule 4 for the protection of the Lilliputians our Re? publican Man Mountain should take the utmost care not to trample upon the bodies of any of Perry's chums, especially those of Mark Hanna. Wil? liam McKinley and Toddy Roosevelt, j Thomas Bracken Recd is easily the i most brilliant man in America. He is ? the greatest living Republican. His most patriotic act was iu resigning his seat ia congress, and with it the speak? ership, because he could not indorse the un-American policy ef the Me Hanuaite administration. To his eter? nal credit be it said that he possessed Independence enough of soul to volun? tarily lay <lov.-a thc political office sec? ond In power ?nd importance only to the presidency-cheerfully gave up its emoluments-and retired to private life because he loved his country better than his party. No higher tr:bute could be paid to his splendid genius than that he should be feared and therefore hated by the pitiful dwarfs who are now running the Republican machine. They haven't brains enough to compre? hend The Man Mountain, they haven't generosity enough to admire him, they .haven't strength enough to tie him, and they haven't money enough to buy him. Peanut Politics. AH decent men trill agree that it is peanut politics, to say nothing worse of it, to drag Bryan's domestic affairs Into the campaign and parade the fact to thc world that Mrs. Bryan uo^ em? ploys a Servant girl to help do the work, whereas she formerly did it all herself. I humbly submit that Mrs. Bryan is clearly entitled to have a servant girl if she wants one and is able to pay her, and the Republican papers arc doing themselves no credit by trying to use that fact to the preju? dice of h?r Illustrious husband. Xo .purer hom^ life has illustrated Ameri? can civilization than that of the Bry? ans. They have not flouted their do .mestic felicity in the faces of the peo? ple, but have been content to live quietly and modestly-a thing greatly to their credit. It had to come. It was inevitable. Webster Davis has boon accused of plagiarism. That appears to be a fa? vorite method of campaigning with Republicans. It will ?>e remembered T.?at when Bryan made his astounding speech at Chicago in 1S?6. which serv? ed the double purpose of securing the nomination and thc adoption of the platform, it was suddenly discovered that Bryan had stolen one portion cf (his speech from I'atrirk Henry and another portion-the eros* of gold fig? ure of speech-from Congressman Me? tel! of Massachusetts. Rut somehow Jt did not hurt Bryan much. Neither 4k> 4 apprehend that the same charge . ?*ni uo any great narin to'Webster vis. "To Quigs (verb transitive) moat cabbage: to make way with: to c to disappear." That is thc latest tribution to the dictionary. My fri Lemuel Eli Quigg. has been conve into a verb, tra ia! That Rappen men only at rare intervals. Inde* have never known it to happen t< American hitherto. Some have their names used as adjectives, instance, the Wellington boot and McClellan saddle tree are familia men. Mcintosh. McAdam and B sides are eases where names of ventors lin ve passed to the things vented, but Lemuel Eli has the doi honor of having furnished the bo sis both verb and adjective, as the uri; ly newspapers use the verb "to Qui --also the adjective "Quiggy." A Boomerang: Candidate. He has fallen. We may now g upon that splendid prodigy wt erstwhile awakened our awe and m us gasp. We refer to Teddy. That Paul speech did the business for h He is a boomerang. Republicans a] ogize for him: Democrats sneer at h Human nature is the same the w world over. When the old woman \ informed that the cow had eaten grindstone, she exclaimed, "I told i so!" I And my esteemed contemporary. Washington Post, remembering mi a jab which it made at Teddy in di of 3'ore and remembering that its ji were now taking on tho cha rafter prophecy, publishes the following c torial as to Colonel Teddy: THE INEVITABLE HAS HAPPENED. It must bc an unpleasant duty for so sta and loyal a supporter cf the Republican cai dates and policies cs thc Brooklyn Eagle to do\ j its editorial space to explanations of Mr. Ro j velt's St. Paul speech, with a view to mitigar I the boomerang effects of his reckless indis ? tion. Yet it is the expected, the predicted, inevitable that has happened. It was eipec by all who had any familiarity with the ( torical methods of the brilliant youn? statesin It was predicted by The Post both before ? after his nomination. It happened at the ? opportunity. The governor of the Empire St and nominee for the second office i:nder our ? tem-the man who was selected for the sec< ! place because of alleged special qualif;eatio:.s ; fill the first place in case of need-made these ? marks before a great audience at St- Paul a I j days ago: I * "Study the Kansas City platform, and you c ' not help realizing that their policy is the pol of infamy; that their triumph would mean nns< so widespread that it is almost unthinkable an? disgrace so histing that more than a pmcrat: would have to pass before it could be wiped o They stand for lawlessness and disorder, fur <: [ h and dishonor, fe- lionise and disaster j ; : . for cowardly shrinking from di I abroad." i WLs? is there in that tirade that dfes not si ; est the antipodes of each and all the qualificatif which sober minded citizens ct all parties dc requisite for the vice presidency ot thc Unit Slates? The delegates to the Kansas City <.( vention represented the membership <jf the Pen eratic party. If that convention stood tor "? grace, for iaw!e~ ness and disorder, for dishc City and dishonor," the Democratic [ur'.y stan j for the same list cf infamies. There have been many vice presidential can< dates of smaller intellectual caliber than Thc dore Roosevelt. There have been few, if sn who surpassed him in traits and qualities th l^vin and hold friends, but no party has ever nam for that ciiice a candidate who could possib j have committed the blunder of thus a~.-ai?ing a; j defaming 5.O00.0O0 or 6.000,000 of his fellow ri! ; zens. Pensions For Soldiers. Mr. liidgelcy of the Third Kans^ . district is generally recognized ns on i of the mes; faithful and useful men bers of the house, j Judge A. M. Jackson of Wiufiel hus been nominated ns his snccesso: Judge Jackson is ;i Kentuckian b birth, an abie lawyer, a handsome ma ! and an orator of high degre.?. ? prc diet for him a splendid career ia coi ! gross. j Not long sine;* his Republican oj. j ponent tried to curry favor with th tdd soldiers, whereupon Judge Jacksoi submitted the following vigorous an* felicitous remarks: "My opponent is very solicitous abou f the old soldier. Sir, I yield to no mai ! in my devotion to the Union soldiers j They need no eulogy from me nor fron j any other person. Many of the den heroes of the great yet cruel wa: have their last resting places market by imposing slabs of marble, aad ye these do not add luster to their names Neither will any words which my op ponent or I may utter add one cubi< to their greatness. The highest en comium. the most magniilcent eulogy that can be paid the old soldier Is thai he bared his breast iu the defense ol the Union: that he met in mortal con flict tlesh of his flesh and blood of bis blood-yea, that he met upon the field of battle men as brave and de? termined as himself. "As the result of that mighty 1 strife we have, than!" God, one couti j try and one flag. We now say all ; honor to those brave and gallant sol J diorsj^and that this government should i deal fairly, justly and honestly with ; its saviors. My opponent, in his ! great anxiety to assure the old sol ! dior of his sympathy and assistance, j says that if he is elected to con ? gress be will do ail In his power to j pass a law whereby all that should be I necessary to obtain a pension or an ? increase thereof would be to present ! an honorable discbarge, together with an affidavit that be ls in need of money. A Great Injustice, j "To my mind this would be a great injustice to the old soldiers of this land. Why should you be compelled to pay the ruuriitiecnt (?) sum of 125 cents to make an affidavit that yon are in j need of money when no ene for one j moment will controvert that fact? My j friends, the question of the need of ! money is not confined to the old soldier, ; but all men will insist that they are 1 in need of money. Then I submit that it would be an injustice to require you ? to make an affidavit about a fact ; which no one disputes. Therefore I ! suggest that, if there be sense and rea ? son in V : . . 'Jen. i - J j do away with the 'affidavit' and make i the solo test an 'honorable discharge?' If ? surMihi advocate such proposition for ei?lioi a pension or the Increase ? thereof, you would justly call me a demagogue and say thar, my proposition was foolish. My friends, yon would be right. Pnther proposition is a foolish one, and any man who would go to congress advocating such theories would write himself down as an ass and Dring his district into disrepute. By so doing he might also do incal? culable injury to the cause of th?; old soldier, just as a tumblcbug might spoil a cupful of good, pure and whole? some water. "Your lawmakers should advocate sensible measures, which will meut with the approval of the conscience und ?he judgment of the people. The man who goes to congress advocating visionary measures eau have no influ? ence in that body and will uot IK? able to accomplish anything for his con? stituents. "My friends, the old soldiers, as I understand, do not complain of. the law. Generally speaking, the law is liberal and generous. It makes ample provision for the soldier, his widow and orphan. Enforce thc Law. "The eiying want and need of today is not for more law, but for an honest, fair and impartial enforcement of the present law. Our pension law is en? forced, if at all, through the depart? ment known as the commissioner of pensions. Ile sits as a judge and in terpiets the letter and the spirit of the law. His acts may be arbitrary, and he may wholly ignore the law in its application to a petition for a pension, and there is no adequate relief from his autocratic ruling. Therefore it is just as necessary that your commis sioner of pensions should be an honest, pare and upright man as it is for your judge who enforces the civil and crim? inal law of the land. The law of the land makes ample provision for the im? peachment of a judge who is dishonest and corrupt. The commissioner of pensions sits as a judge, granting or refusing pensions as it suits his pleas? ure. He interprets the law according to his whims or his humor or by in? fluence, dehors the record. He is a 'one mind power'-mighty, omnipotent and most dangerous. He receives his appointment from one man, and is re? sponsible to him and to him alone. Ile deals with the masses of the people. He acts as judge upon the cases of thousands of people, and yet those peo? ple lia vc not lu'ng to say as to who shall be their judge, or who shall in? terpret the law which was made in * i their-behalf and in their interest. I j insist that this is un-American and for- j elga to thc genius of republican form j of government. The great iniquity of j tlic present system i-; fully exemplified j by your present commissioner of pen I sions. 'ihis is not the time or the ! place to discuss in detail his work. It I is sufficient to know that thousands OL" ; petitions from Grand Army posts in ! this nation have been presented bog? ging for his removal. Your petitions have only been answered by repeated ! injury. You have pleaded, but the .powers" lia ve bern deaf to the voice of justice. You have implored, but no uns wer has come for your relief. By i*oj?7ilar Vote. "My friends, this is a great injustice, it is a groat wrong. Under the com- 1 mon law we leam that for every wrong ? j there is a remedy. There is a remedy for this wrong, and. in my judgment. ? 1 this remedy is simple and adequate. I ; would a:.;!;*' the commissioner of pen? sions au elective office. 1 would give j the old soldiers the opportunity to say who should be commissioner of pen? sions, and who should interpret thu law that was made for their benefit: As to how this should best be done I am not wedded to any {-.articular theory. I am willing to consult and advise as ro how this can bes: be done. At the present, it is my judgment that it. would answer the.purpose if a law was passed providing that each Grand Army post in this nation, should at stated times hold an election in their posts, permitting all beneficiaries over the age of 21 years to vote for whom they desire appointed commissioner of pensions, and the person who receives the highest number of votes should be appointed ny the president commis? sioner of pensions. If I have the honor to represent this district in congress, it shall be my object and aim to do all in my power to have a law of this nature and character passed, a law making it possible that soldiers, their widows aud orphans shall receive fair and impartial treatment, and that they shall have a voice in saying who shall be their judge." All men may not agree with all the ideas expressed by Judge Jackson, but whether they agree with his ideas or not. they must admire the vigor with which he delivers them. He will make his mark and will rank among the strong men of the house. A Picturesque Character. In all German settlements in the west a curious wedding custom pre? vails which is said to have been trans? planted from Hanover. When a young ! couple is to be married, the elder j brother of the bride, or, if she has no brother, some other male member of I the family, takes his place, starts out I a few days before the wedding on j horseback and distributes the invita? tions. Ile Is called the "brautbeter" literally the "bride inviter." Ile is a j picturesque figure, and in his trip about I the country he is the recipient of many perquisites in money or gifts, which, by right of custom, are kept as his I own; but. however small, the present is i invariably expected ami given. It may Ive a piece of money, a bill or a coin or it may be only a ribbon or a trinket. Upon bis return trip he decorates his person and his horse with his gifts. . 11;: I. 1 ribune. ii?e*?n*i?te?t.
