vThat a pity th.it Jonathan Swift, the
dean of St. Patrick's, cannot
to earth: Certainly the funniest
?ad the moat preposterous that
happened on earth since the Lll
undcrtonk to conquer Qui?
lt the determination of Terry S.
Ith et M omne genus to ostracise
Bracken Beed In the present
The unutterable scorn with
that Intellectual Titan must re?
als pygmy persecutors needs the
fas lam genius and merciless pen of
to describe It. 'Twould be worth
ftm years of peaceful life to see big
Tom roll In to Republican bcadquar
am while Perry and his petty political
are In council as to how they
Jai? bobble the man from Maine.
Batastd stars, how they would take
*D "over, get out, vamoose, skedaddle,
abaq natu law!
The Lilliputians drew up certain
regulation* for the conduct of Gulliver,
whom they called "The Man Moan
tain" which regulations 1 commend to
Perr? et al. In their endeavor to tie
ap MY. Reed. Ucre they are:
"First The Man Mountain shall not
depart from >ur dominions without our
license undci our great seal.
"Second.?lie shall not presume to
come Into our metropolis without our
express orders, nt which the Inhabit
ants aha.1 have two hours' v artiing in
keep within doors.
"Third. -The said Mau Mountain
shall conflne his walks to our principal
highroads and not offer to walk or lie
down in a meadow or field of corn.
"Fourth.?As he walks the said roads
he shall take the utmost care not to
trample upon the bod lea of any of our
loving subjects, their horses or car?
riages and not to take any of our sub?
ject* Into hi* hand* without their own
consent''
Most Urllltant Aia rlcan.
Surely the ferocious Swift when he
wrote "tiulllvcr's Travels" must have
had In his mind's eye the events now
transpiring about Republican head?
quarters. Bnqucstionahly Reed Is The
Man Mountain, and it would be awful
If he should walk or lie dowu In the
Republican meadows or Heids ef corn,
and in the lunguugc of rule 4 for the
protection of tlic 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 Uanna. Wil?
liam MeKlr!ey and Teddy Roosevelt.
Thomas ltrackett Reed Is easily the
most brilliant man In America. He Is
the greatest living Republican. His
most patriotic act was in resigning his
seat In congress, and with it the speak
eeahlp. because he could not indorse
the uti American policy of the Mc
Haaaalte administration. To his eter
aal credit be It said that he prisesscd
Independence enough of soul to volun?
tarily lay down the political office sec
ood In power and Importance only to
the presidency?cheerfully gave up Its
emoluments?sod retired to private life
because he loved his country better
than his party. No higher tribute could
he 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
geuerosity enough to admire him, they
haven't strength enough to tie him,
aad they haven't money enough to buy
him.
Peooot Politics.
AU decent men will agree that It 1s
peanut politics, to say nothing worse
of It, to drag Bryan's domestic affairs
lato the campaign und parade the fact
to the world that Mrs. Bryan us err em?
ploys a Servant girl to help do the
work, whereas she foro)erly did It all
herself. I humbly submit that Mrs.
Bryan Is clearly entitled to have a
servant girl If she wunts one and Is
sbh to pay her. and the Republican
papers arc doing therasclvee no credit
by trying to use that fact to tho preju?
dice of h"t- Illustrious husband. No
.purer home life 1ms Illustrated Ameri?
can civilization than th.it of the Bry?
an.?. They have not flouted their do?
mestic felicity In the faces of the pco
.pie. bnt have been content to live
quietly and niodeatly-a thing greatly
to their credit.
It had to einae. It was Inevitable.
Webster 1mvu has been accused of
plagiarism. That appears to bo a fa?
vorite method of campaigning with
tepabltcans. It will \m remembered
tat wbeo Bryan made his astounding
speeeb st Chicago la MM which serv?
ed the double purpose of securing the
nomination and the adoption of the
platform. It was suddenly discovered
thai Bryan bad stolen one portion of
tola speech from Batrirk Henry and
another port loo-the oeoss of gold fig
are of speech from Congressman Me
ITMII of Massachusetts. But somehow

"To Qulgg (verb transitive) means to
cabbage; to make way with; to cause
to disappear." That is the latest con?
tribution to the dictionary. My friend,
Lemuel Ell Qulgg. has been converted
Into a verb, tra la! That happens to
men only at rare intervals. Indeed I
hav?? never known it to happen to an
American hitherto. Some have had
their names used as adjectives. For
Instance, the Wellington boot and the
Meridian saddle tree are fnmiliar to
men. Mclntosh, McAdam and Bum
sides are eases where nnmos of In?
ventors have passed to the things In?
vented, but Lemuel KU hns the doublt
honor of having furnished the basis for
both verb nnd adjective, as the ungod?
ly newspapers use the verb "to Qulgg"
?also the adjective "Quiggy."
A niinmrring Candidate.
He has fallen. We may now gaze
upon that splendid prodigy which
erstwhile awakened our awe and made
ns gasp. We refer to Teddy. That St.
Paul speech did the business for him.
He is a boomerang. Republicans apol?
ogize for him; Democrats sneer at him.
Humau nature Is the same the wide
world over. When the old woman was
Informed that the cow had eaten tho
grindstone, she exclaimed, "1 told you

SO;
And my esteemed contemporary, the
Washington Tost, remembering many
a Jab which it made at Teddy in days
of yore and rememt?eriug that Its Jabs
were now taking on the character *#
prophecy, publishes the following edi?
torial as to Colonel Teddy:
TflK INEVITABLE HAS IIAPPEN'KD.
It must b? an unpleasant duty tor ao stanch
and loyal a supporter of the Republican candi?
date* and policiea as the R-ronklyn Hagle to devote
Its editorial apace to explanations of Mr. Itooae
velt'a St. Paul speech, with a view to mltlga.ing
the boomerang effects of Iii? reckless indiscre?
tion. Yet It is the expected, the predicted, the
inevitable that has happened. It was expected
by all who had any familiarity with the ora?
torical methods of the brilliant young statesman.
It was predicted by The Post both before and
after his nomination. It happened at the first
opportunity. The governor of the Empire State
and nominee for the second r>i. re under our ays
tern?the man who was selected for the second
place because of alleged Epccia) qualifications to
Sil the first place in cose of need?made these re?
marks before a great audience at St- Paul a few
days ago:
"Study the Kansas City platform, and you can?
not help realizing that their policy is the policy
of infamy; that their triumph would mean misery
?o widespread that it ia almo-t unthinkable and a
disgrace so lasting that more than a generali? u
would have to pass l>ofore it could be Wiped out.
They stand for lawlessness and disorder, for dis
I m -tv and dishonor, for license and disaster at
Immu| and for cowardly shrinking from duty
What is there In that tirade that does not sug?
gest the antipodes of each and all the qualifications
which aobcr minded citizens of all parties deem
requisite for the vice presidency of the United
Slates? Tho delegates to the Kansjs City con?
vention represented the BaSsStSfSMp of the Demo?
cratic party. If that convention stood tor "dis?
grace, for lawlessness and disorder, for dishon?
esty and dishonor," the Democratic party stands
I for the same list cf Infamies.
I There have been many vice presidentijl candi?
dates of smaller intellectual caliber than Theo
dore Koosevelt. There have been few, if any,
who surpassed him in traits and qualities thai
savin and hold friends, but no parly has ever named
for that office a candidate who could possibly
hove committed the blunder of l!;us availing and
oef-?ming 5.000.000 or C.0OO.0UU of his fellow citi?
zens.
(Viiaioiia For Soldier*.
Mr. Kidgeley of tho Third Kansas
district Is generally recognized as one
of tho most faithf tl and useful mem?
bers of tho house.
Judge A. M. Jackson of Wiuiield
has been nominated as his successor.
Judge Jackson Is a Kentuekian by
birth, uu able lawyer, a handsome man
and an orator of high degree. 1 pre?
dict for him ? splendid career In con?
gress.
Not long since his Republican op?
ponent tried io curry favor with the
eld soldiers, wuereupon Judge Jackson
submitted the following vigorous ami
felicitous remarks:
"My opi>onent Is very solicitous about
the old soldier. Sir, I yield to no man
In my devotion to the llulon soldiers.
The; need no eulogy from tue nor from
any o her person. Many of the dead
heroes of the great yet cruel war
have their last resting places marked
by imjwslng slabs of marble, and yet
these do not add luster to their names.
Neither will any words which my op?
ponent or I may utter add one coble
to their greatness. The highest en?
comium, the most magnificent eulogy,
that can be paid the old soldier Is tust
he bared his breast In the defense of
the Union: that he met In mortal con?
flict flesh of his flesh aed Mood of bis
blood?yea. that he met upon the
field of battle men as bravo and de?
termined as himself.
"As the result of that mighty
strife we hare, thank Cod, one coun?
try and one flag. We now bay all
honor to those brave and gallant sol
dler^pand that this government should
deal fairly. Justly and honestly with
its saviors. My opponent, In his
great anxiety to assure the old sol?
dier of bis sympathy and assistance,
says that If he la elected to con?
gress he will do all In his power to
puss a Law whereby all that should be
necessary to obtain a penaiou or au
increase thereof would be to present
an honorable discharge, together with
sn affidavit that he Is In need of money.
A Great Injustice.
"To my mind tills would be a great
injustice to the old soldiers of this
land. Why should you be compelled to
pay the munificent (?) sum of 88 cents
to make an attldavlt that you ore lu
need of money when no one for one
moment will controvert that fact? My
friends, the question of the need of
money la not confined to the old soldier,
hut all men will Insist ttiat they aro
In need of money. Then 1 submit thot
It would be au Injustice to require you
to make an nftldnvlt nlsiut a fact
which no one disputes. Therefore I
suggest that, if there be sense and rea?
son in 1 . ? lot i
do away V/Hai the 'affidavit' ntel make
the solo teat an 'honorable discharger*
If I should advocate auch proposition
1 for ciliicr a pension or the Increase
thereof, you would JtiHtly call me a
demagogue and say that my proposition
was foolish. My friends, you would
be right. I'dther prop:.sit ion Is a foolish
one, and any man who would go to
congress advocating auch theories
wvoW write Hmmsit down es an ans
and bring his district Into disrepute.
By so doing he might also do incal?
culable Injury to the cause of the old
Soldler, just ns n tumblebug might
spoil a cupful of good, pure and whole*
some water.
"Your lawmakers should advocate
sensible measures, which will meet
with the approval of the conscience
and the judgment of the people. The
man who goes to congress advocating
visionary measures can have DO influ?
ence In that body and will not be ablo
to accomplish anything for his con?
stituents.
"My friends, the old soldiers, as I
understand, do not complain of. the
law. Generally spcakiug, the law is
liberal and generous. It makes ample
provision for the soldier, his widow
and orphan.
EufoiTC the Law.
"The crying want and ueed of today
is not for more law, but for an honest,
lair 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. He sits as a judge and in?
terprets the letter and the spirit of the I
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 i
his autocratic ruling. Therefore it is
just as necessary that your commis?
sioner of pensions should be an honest, I
pure and upright man as it is for your
judge who enforces the civil and crim?
inal law of the laud. The law of the
land makes ample provision for the im
peachmeut 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
appoiutment from one man, and is re?
sponsible to him and to him alone. He
deals with the masses of the people.
He acts as judge upon the cases of
thousands of people, and yet those peo?
ple have nothing to say as to who
shall be their judge, or who shall In?
terpret the law which was made in
their -behalf and In their interest. I
insist that this is un-American and for?
eign to the genius of republican form
of government. The great Iniquity of
the present system is fully exemplified
by your present com missioner of pen?
sions. Tills Is not the time or the
place to discuss in detail his work. It
Is sufficient to know that thousands of
petitions from Grand Army posts in
this nation have been presented beg?
ging lor his removal. Your petitions
have only been answered by repeated
injury. You have pleaded, but the
'powers' have been deaf to the voice
of justice. You have Implored, but no
answer has come for your relief.
Ity Popular Vote.
"My friends, this Is a great injustice.
It is a great, wroug. Under the com?
mon law we learn that to:* every wrong
there is a remedy. TnCtQ is a remedy
for this wrong, and, in my judgment,
this remedy Is simple and adequate. 1
would make the commissioner of pen?
sions an elective otllce. 1 would give
the old soldiers the opportunity to say ,
who should be commissioner of pen?
sions, and who should interpret thj
law that was made for their benefit:
As to how this should best be done 1
am not wedded to any particular
theory. 1 am willing to consult and
advise as to how this can best 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
I>osts, 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 oy the president commis?
sioner of pensions, if 1 hare 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
uature and character passed, a law
making It possible that soldiers, their
widows and orphans shall receive
fair ami impartial treatment, and that
they shall have a voice In saying who
shell be their judge."
AH 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 amoug the
strong men of the house.
A Plcturesqne 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
brother of the bride, or, if she has no
brother, some other male member of
the family, takes his place, starts out
a few days before the wedding on |
horseback and distributes the invita?
tions. He la called the "brautbeter"?
literally the "brine Inviter." lie Is a
picturesque figure, and in his trip about
the country he Is the recipient of many
perquisites In money or gifts, which,
by right of custom, are kept as his
own; but. however small, the present Is
Invariably expected and given. It v
l>o a piece Of money, n bill or a coin or
It may be only a ribbon or a trinket.
Upon his return trip ho decorates his

THE. MODE.
Pavilion In (iown Skirt* and Silk
PottleoatS,
Skirts ore decidedly long, touching the
ground in front and at the sides, while
at tho back they drag more or loss. Tho
consequence is that every woman carries
her ski: t in her hand in the street, which
necessitates pretty and well eared for
CIIiL's TOILET,
shoos. The only short skirts worn arc
those which are uncompromisingly short,
escaping the ground l?y several incaes.
Petticoats follow the fashions of gowus
in form, but do not trail at all. even when
intended for wear with a trained skirt.
They are still much trimmed below the
knee, but are quite plain above it and
St the hack of the waist are laid In a few
plaits. Petticoats of the more elaborate
order have insets of black or white iaee,
raffles of chiffon edged with ribbon or
Velvet, tiny gaUZO ruches or niches of
finely pinked silk, flounces of lace, and,
in fact, art as richly adorned as gowns.
The plainer kinds have various arrange"
ments of plaiting* and ruffles of the same
material as the body of the petticoat,
which is usually taffetn or a kind of silk
alpaca, which is more durable.
The girl's costume pictured is of beige
satin cloth, the skirt being plaited and
stitched at the sides and back. It closes
at the right side, the edge being scalloped
and bordered with a band of brown vel?
vet, with appliques of blue silk. The bo?
lero and sleeves of the cloth are trimmed
la the same way. Tho chemisette is of
shirred blue silk, and tho wide, plaited
belt is also of blue silk. Tho sailor hat
of fancy straw is decorated with iKUgo
ribbon, a beige plume and a gold buckle.
