New men and new issues promise to
be the policy of the Democratic party in
1904.
Tnu unexplained action of Secretary
Shaw puts up to Mr. Oobb to acknowl
edge the corn.
Bomb people are beginning to wonder
if J, Pierpor;t Morgan has met his Wa
terloo in watered stocks.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow has not yet begun work'on his
report of the postoffice investigations, '
When anyone mentions the gratitude
of a republic, these days, the public
immediately reverts to Schley and
Miles.
Reggie Vandebbilt's mother-in-law
is responsible for his breaking his rule
never to pose for a camera. As usual
the public will pay the cost.
The British have captured the inter
national tennis cup. That may berve to
solace them for the. loss of the yacht
cup.
Secretary Wilson and a corps of bug.
ologists will soon invade Ohio with a
view to eradicating the "torn job nson
pest" and saving the state for Hanna.
Had George Washington served under
the present administration re might
have been rebuked and then shown the
door when he called to surrender his
commission. . '
The fact 'hat the West is prosperous
when Wall Street is suffering ' from a
flood of watered stock continues to baf
fle tie keenest of Dr. Morgan's security
digestion experts. .
Tnu Secretary of the Navy has de-
pied that negroes were hereafter to be
excluded from the navy. Who could
have suspected such a thing with Mr.
Roosevelt in the White House?
If Mr. Root Is made chairman of the
Republican National Committee, a hog
or die policy eo fa' as the moneyed in
terests of the country are concerned may
De accepted as one of the certainties.
The Republican Campaign Commit,
tee is figuring on keeping the names
of the Advisory Committee secret, So
much the better for the reputation of
its members when the campaign closes,
The Democratic party will not nomi
nate "some cold blooded, fishy ceature
standing for nothing but Wall Street."
The party has learned, by bitter experi
ence, to be careful whom it nominates.
It was so fortunate that the naval
enemy off Bar Harbor, was captured
just in time to permit of the officers go
ing ashore for Sunday. There was a
mistake in the dispatches, the Bar Har
bor girls wee captivated.
The Kansas dame, separated by cruel
fate from the bustle containing all her
worldly wealth, returned home to dis
cover th missing depository in the do
mestic ash heap. Again demonstration
is given to tho fact that hindsight is
best.
The Memphis goat to be sacrificed for
the settlement of the vexed question
whether he ate the revenue stamps off
a whisky barrel is not the first victim
of a too lit ral and personal interpreta
tion of internal revenue.
Tun Hanna hill to pension negro
slaves is bearing fruit. A Northern ne
gro has succoded in getting thousands
of dollars out of his colored brothers in
Florida and Georgia by representing
himself as Hamm's agent.
Tkxans have been placed in a class
with New Yorkers and Minneeotans by
the arrival of ollicers of the law in time
to cut down a negro strung up by a
mob. The State's reputation (or thor
oughness in such matters is at Btake
and it will be surprising if the negro is
not soon placed in a similar position. "
Tub appointment ol General Young in
Gi l eial Miles' place for one week is a
violation of the intent of Cong reus and a
p-ity attempt to get even with a real
soldier localise he did not approve of
the administration's Philippine policy,
including the water cure, the Funs
ton foig'irv tactics and other enormities
of the Philippine campaign.
Pbof. Langley is still tinkering with
his flying machine, and, in time, may
succeed in turning out an aerial ferry
boat.
The arrest of Sheridan Miles is trace,
able to the same causes which made
things so interesting fo' the General of
late failure to keep ofl the grass.
Every time he opens bis mouth he
puts his foot in It, but Parry' mouth is
of such proportions that the volume and
loquacity of his remarks is not appreci
bly affected
Massachusetts convicts are to be al
lowed to play baseball as a reward for
good behavior. It will not, however, be
advisable for the warden to act as um
pire.
A mosqoito, whose bite causes death,
has appeared in Jersey. Even a mos
quite s perennial good-nature is not
proof against these petroleum, musical
and X-ray extermination insults.
Gem, Miles is hearing the buzzing of
the presidential bee, but it he is listen
ing he may hear Cousin George Dewey's
warning cry: "Watch out, Nelse, the
pesky thing's got astingerl"
The Republican party has been saved
from the deepest ignomony by the stat
ute of limitations. But for that, some
of its most prominent members would
now be on the highway to the peniten
tiary because of corrupt postal practices.
The Fillipinos even dislike American
money and persist in using their own
Instead. When a nation refuses the mon
ey of another there is reason to believe
that cordial relations between the two
will neve. be established.
Ins refueal of the President to permit
any congratulation of General Miles in
the order announcing that soldier's re
tirement will forfeit for Mr. Roosevelt
the votes of many old soldiers who hive
fought and bled on the same battle
ground as the retired commander of the
army.
The Berlin physician who denounces
piano practice for young children and
ascribes to it the nervous derangement
of 600 out of 1000 children be has ex
amined, is one of the great philanthro
pists of modern times. Let the millions
who are annoyed by the tuntj tunty of
the piano subscribe for this monument.
Tub press, not excluding orthodox Re
publican organs, have made it so hot for
Postmaster General Favoe that he has
been obliged to give bis "confidential
clerk" H. H. Rand, an indefinitely pro
longed leave of absence but hs has not
cut him off from the pay roll of the gov
eminent.
General Young's appearance with
the uniform of Lieutenant General to
hours before General Miles' term ex
pired, and therefore two hours before
Young's promotion could take effect,
was undoubtedly the work of General
Corbin. That is just the kind of viola
tion of etiquette for which Corbin is fa
mous.
vv hen it is remembered that the
Speaker is th chairman of the Commit
tee on Rules aud appoints the members
of that body which in turn controls the
House, the statement from Washington
that Cannon's currency views "are very
apt to command the support of a House
majority" becomes one cf the things
that go without saying.
Senator Gorman has outlined the is
sues of the Democratic party as moder
ate tariff reform, economy of public ad
ministration and honesty of public of
ficials. It may have been unkind of
the Senator to select in every instance,
the antithesis of Republican practices,
but he doubtless felt that his first duty
was to his party.
President Roosbvklt would not vio
late an order of Secretary of War Lamar
by issuing a complimentary statement
regarding General Miles' service, in con
nection with the announcement of that
officer's retirement. But the President
did not hesitate to violate all precedents
and advance his friend "Doctor" Wood
to the rank of major general over the
heads of some 300 senior ollicers.
The latest seeshn of the American
Republican Slate Board of Appeals was
enlivened by Congressman Mud's forci
ble exit through a window as a result of
his mistake in judgment in addressing
challeague as "pie-face." If the
Republicans are to start the mud sling
ing among themselves, Maryland
Democrats can afford to sit steady in the
boat.
The prodig.il son caught the family
napping and dined ou veal. Governor
Durbin did hie duty when no one ex-!
pected him to, and the President writes
him an open letter of commendation,
After the ululations of the Chautauqua
orator and the yawns of the Indiana edi-
to-, inspired by the spectaie, have died
away, the still, small voice may be
heard asking who the self-constituted
protector of te known head of a con
spiracy of anamination should be held
np as a mo ld of what the executive of
of a great Slate should.
If the confirmation of Wood is pre
vented by the old veterans, Miles may
be pardoned if he thinks what sweet re
venge it would be to send a message to
Roosevelt inquiring, "Didn't that G. A.
R.you?"
Up to date John Temple Graves'
lvncbing remarks have only been ap
proved by those people who haven't the
neivetosay no and whose saying so
wouldn't make any difference if they
said it.
The evident nurpose of the railway
magnates to combine all the Southern
roads in a community of interests plan
indicates that the supposed wreck of
the Northwestern merger idea was, at
the worst, only a temporary delay, due
to nothing more serious than a hot box.
General Nelson A. 1iles, enroute
to the G. A.R. encampment, got a boom
for the Presidency at Colorado City, a
number of veterans hailing him with
"Our next Democratic President." And
the old warrior seemed to be pleased
with the buzzing of the bee.
A New Yorker who has three times
been a millionaire, has tiled a petition
in bankruptcy showing a beggarly $150
of assets. Hard luck, but, after all.
isn'it better to have flown hih and
fallen rather than never to have flown
atall?
The discovery of statements by O. M.
Schwab, showing that the tariff on steel
trust products is Unnecessary for pro
tection to an infant industry, may ex
plain his retirement from his job. Rob
ber Barons don't pay a million a year to
people who "talk tbo d d much,"
especially when that talk happens to be
indiscreet truth.
There might be more cauce for rejoic
ing over the reported peace pact between
Rockefeller and Morgan if it were not for
the reflection that instead of fighting
each other they will now turn their joint
attention to "the great common people,"
one holding while the other skins.
' A Chicago professor says cannibalism
is justifiable when it comes to a choice
between starvation and eating a dead
man's flesh. The professor leaves un
answered the momentous question
whether, under such circumstances,
good form requires the use of a spoon or
tork. . ' :
The wordy cross-fire between the rep
resentatives of the manufacturers and
union labor is amusing, if not instruc
tive, From one side comes the charge
that organized labor is strongly infee'ed
with the microbe of anarch j , while from
the other side is hurled the retort that
there are too many "Parry-sites" in the
association of the bosses. -'
All the brokers are advising their pa
trons that now is a good time to buy
stocks, and it really does seem that cer
tain shares couldn't possibly go any
lower, but as long as the Wall street
game so closely resembles the diversion
in which you try to guess which shell
the little rubber .ball is under the only
safe plan for the man with no money to
lose is to put wt at he has in a sock aud
bury it.
The crusade in the North against
lynching makes the mistake of taking
on an implied sympathy for the victims
of mob fury. The spirit seemingly rnani.
tested is that negro rape fiends should
be sprayed with rosewater and turned
loose. It is a part of the same sickly
sentimentality which expresses itself in
a bombardment of condemned murder
ers with boquets and bonbons. The
movement against lynching should also
include condemnation of the offense
which provokes the mob to violenco.
AFTERMATH OF BROWNELL'S SPEECH
The Courier in its last issue, it seems,
overstated the case in the matter of the
speech of Senator Brownell at Highland.
The Courier does not want to misrepre
sent tke facts about anybody and least
of all about Senator Brownell. There
are bo many things about the Senator
t'rnt are true, which are readable and
make interesting news, that there is
never any occasion to misstate the facts.
We believe in giving the devil his due.
There was not as much politics in the
Senator's speech as we were led to be
lieve. In fact thero was very little poli
tics in his speech. We say this Injus
tice to the Senator as there are a reat
number of membeis of the Maccabees in
Clackamas county who might be mislead
in regard to the matter. They are the
beet people on earth and it would be un
fair to them and to the Senator to let the
report go uncorrected. We have learned
in the fifteen years during which we
have continuously published a paper
that it is always best to be fair and tof
to treat all men decently and kindly. It
is better to "dip your peu in the milk of
human kindness ' and write Kindly o
the faults and follies of men. Senator
Brownell may be all that the people say
about him, we don't know, but we do
know that truth hurts nobody and we
frankly say that the description of the
Senator's speech was very considerably
overdrawn.
ANOTHER WALL STREET DEMAND.
Wall street has bee a demanding An
elastic currency for some time, but now
comes the demand from the Wa 11 Street
Journal for an elastic auti-truat law. It
says that the decision of the court in the
merger case "calls loudly for remedial
legislation." It says ; "The law must
be made, if possible, more elastic so as
to permit of such co mbinations as are
beneficial even though technically in re
straint of trade." Elasticity seems to
be popular in Wall street elasticity of
conscience, elasticity of law, elasticity of
currency, and elasticity even of the Dec
laration of Indeoendence. It would
seem that we need less elastic
ity instead of more. W.J. Bryan.
WHY NOT SENATQ3C0CKRELl.fi
Why not Francis Marion Oockrell, of
Missouri, for president? His Christian
character, his long experience, his great
ability and his unquestioned integrity
make him worthy to be considered
among those eligible to a Democratic
nomination. As one who has been in
harmony with his party on every ques
tion he would be acceptable to the Kan
sas City platform Democrats, and yet
what reorganizer could find a personal
objection to him? J is long service would
disarm criticism and his popularity
would spread as he became better
known.
He is 69 years of age, but young
enough for service yet. His service in
the Confederate army would not weaken
him, first, because the war is ever, and,
second, because his record has been such
as to commend him to those who wore
the blue as well as to those who wore
the gray.
The Commoner has already mentioned
several available men and has others in
reserve, but it takes pleasure in propos
ing Senator Cockrell.
ARE THEY IN EARNEST?
Last year the Kepubiicans of seven
teen states under the control of that
party put into their state platforms de
mands more or less a'rongly phrased for
"such modifications" of the tariff sche'
dules as the necessities of the people
may make expedient.
This year the party managers around
headquarters, urged by Hanna, Aldrich
and Allison, are subduing the demands
by an adroit operation in skin-grafting
adding a strong piece of rhinoceros
hide in the shape of a declaration that
"in no wise must the Republican doc
trine of protection be sacrificed!"
Mr. McKinley was, in his last days,
for a reciprocity that would have pro
duced in safeguarded instances the best
fruits of an alternative protection and
freer trade policy. Mr. Roosevelt could
not wait for the McKinley funeral to
publish abroad his consecration to the
McKinley policy. But he forgot for the
moment the great endless chain of Re-
publican grafters who work the tariff on
the American people as the Leyl and
Zaccheus publications worked the Ro
man tribute racket on the people of
Jerusalem and Palestine. We call their
modern imitators Republicans because
they have renewed those publican poli
cies of graft and ptfbdc plunder.
The time for the real tariff reformer?,
if there are any in the Republican party,
to show their faith and strength will be
in next year's conventions. If tbey are
in earnest for justice and popular relief
they will then &ni ample opportunities
far saying so. But are they in earnest?
Our donbt is as big around as the eclip
tic. SENATOR COCKRELL FOR PRESIDENT.
The rmny thousands of o eople who
had the pleasure of looking into the lov
ing face of Champ Clark, the great plat
form speaker and Democratic leader who
very recently spoke at our own Ohau
taqqua.will be interested to read what he
has to say in regard to the Democratic
nominee for President next year.
A Democrat of the royal blue,
an honest man whom all love and re
spect, his suggestion will cairy great
weight with it.
"This is Missouri's golden opportunity to have
one o( her illustrious sons eleyated to the Presi
dency of the Unttod 8tate. General Fraacls
Marlon Cockrell can be elected if nominated and
most assuredly ho should be nominated, lor the
good ot both the party and the country.
"General Oockrell would win, Ha would poll
every anil- Republican vote in America,
and any man who can do that
can be elected. His record on all publla
queetlons, including fluanoe, ! without flaw.
Therefore he would be acceptable to the Silver
Democrats so ealled, -while his conservatism
would rally to hli standard Democrats who are
not euaraored of tree silver, and Republicans
who believe In this country attending to Its own
business strictly and In lotting the attain of olher
ceuntrlea alone.
ALU VETERANS HIS SUPPORTERS.
'His liberadly as to pensions would bring to
his support lots of Union veteraus.aud, of course,
the Confederate veterans to a mau would shout
themselves hoarse for him,
"Ills military service would help rather than
hurt bis candidacy. Ten years ago It would have

letter In full
. Af ton, Va., June 4, 1900.
The Parana Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "The country is so flooded
with patent medicines of every kind that
are worthless and a humbug, that I for
one, am glad to be able to say I have
found one that is everything and more
than is claimed for it.
My wife was very much run down
and out of sorts in every way. She had
a pelvic disorder which left her very
weak, nervous and no appetite at all.
"One day I happened to be at my
father's store, S. A. Birch, Coresville,
Alb county, Va., and noticed your medi
cine he had there for sale.
1 thought it might help my wife, so
I brought a bottle of it home and within
a week she commenced to eat and now
she is hungry all the time and not half
the medicine has been taken. We both
agree that it beats any medicine to bring
on an appetite and to put the nerves in
good shape that we have ever had any
thing to do with. Wo had our family
doctor to give hei nedicine and he did
all lie could, but she did not improve the
guile; because I hnow his candidacy would re
unite the warring elements of the party; because
I believe he would be elected.
"Defeat would not injure General Oockrell an
iota, for the plain people of Missouri the true
blue Doraocrats will see t It that nibody pur
loins his curule chair while he is pulling Democ
racy together.
"General Cockrell's Presidential candldaoy ,
successful or unsuccessful, would work this good
if no other and it would be a great good.
It would harmonize all of I he elements of the party
Into a homogenous whole and leave It In fighting
trim for the future. ,
"Would he accept? Judging by his latest Inter
view 'Birkls Is not willin'. Be certainly is not
seeking a Presidential nomination, but he may be
Induced to run for the public weal. He nowhere
says in that interview that he would not accept.'
