The wings of pence have spread over the troubled political waters ntul a sweet calm rests over the erst while tempestuous ioliticul sen. The lin ing elements have sheathed their swords ami the hand of good fellowship is extended. The St'inimii lloylu controversy is 110 more than mi unhappy incident in history. The aspirants for the sucressnrship of (lie riiinmittee nnia t'ri 111 the Indian Territory to succeed llie lute A. H. Xjuorry, Captain J. D. Kciimun nnd Myron Iloyle, became involved in a controversy which threatened to split the party locally. Hnyle made it mistake in accpliug what were termed illegal voles and Seaman erred in following up the Ih'lit after the convention hail decreed in favor of his opponent. The fight grew so bitter that local rcptil). lioans dcimimled its cessation. The World udvncutcd that party be chosen from neither faction, hut since the two aspirants for llio ollicu have agreed and the I'actioiiN urg ing their candidacies ore satisfied, there is every reason to believe that the party will move onward with 11 united front and stand for a strung organization which will sweep aside opposition. It is dillleult to see why ill aspirants for the place hould wage a lit; lit so hitter for an ollice which will soon melt away to nothingness ami it is enrncslly hoped for the good of the party that fac tionalism is to be dropped ami the interest of the whole party placed before personal aims. To this both the suc cessful ami thu defeated candidates are pledged and the republican party never presented a more harmonious nnd determined enthusiastic membership than at the present moment. pcuiii Klynii struck a popular chord at the Hurtles- vi'lie meeting and voiced the sentiment of many of when he Milled the II!, ts in the j aity ranks should all be be lih, and m t utter, the convention, He added; "W'liiu paily in convention makes it choice. that 1 In ire is nin d enough for us." lie csulioiied the people of the east side to keep their ears close to the ground. Carry the campaign to the In 1 in house and the laborer's collude and give to the rank and file their voice in the policy and the manage' n.eni if the campaign. "I say to you frankly that in iniikin; Iheir m iiuuitiii conventions lain and their cam pni-ns sl.oit, the republicans of the east side have shown better political judgment than those of us on the west." There was a love feast of newspaper men held in 'Ink I1I11111I, III, recently. Ann ng those in nlciidaiicu vcre !ei rv Ade, Itichard Little, Henry Chamberlain mid John T. MeCulcheon. The last three ore war eor- i'i'spi.iiilenl'ol' note und McCutclieon is the faiuoiis car- tcimist n' (he I'hieugo Tribune, McCutclieon ami Little were the i nly civilians to receive medals of honor from congress for bravery at the battle of Manila. :o: It now appears that the fight for political honors in I'awhiiskn was w'on by the democrnts, not so iniirh by the regular voles as by the' irregularity of the voles. The democrats, il is alleged, even went so far as to vote a large gang of railroad grading men. In one ward in which a close republican canvass could flu only 1011 votes altogether, the democrats polled over and above that number of votes! " : : Cleaner politics! That is the cry that is going up from Maine to California, from l'uget sound to Key West. And il is time. Machine politics are growing more und more in disfavor, and machine politics can be eliminated in only one way by the people generally taking more interest in the political game than hereto fore. Corrupt political organisations are only possible through the indilTcrence of the people. Tyranny is an inherent trait in human nature, and nowhere else is this statement more fully substantiated than in Kilitics, IV lilical machines usually become as Corrupt as the people will permit them to be. Every act of tyranny, unfairness or dishonesty, if unrebuked, becomes a spur and an en ronragvment to commit further and worse excesses, , The people are sometimes slow to awaken, but awaken, ing is sure. Hight now we have the seetacle of the president sending one of his cabinet members to a cen tral state to combat ring rule, while the chief executive himself is dealing blow after blow against tyranny and errruption wherever be finds it parading under the guise of political organization, whether within or without the republican party. The rumor is afloat in political circles that the Mo duli e fncti'in has promised membership in the state coni liittec, when Mat'-bood arrives, to Chairman Victor. Toe Virld has always been told that m ueli factions exist. Now, whence arises this rumor f In what xckets do the local faction carry the honor, and if they do carry it, who put it there! These are questions the rank anil file are asking and in the humble opinion of the World Chairman Victor will find that the rank and llie have a few thing to say about the matter before the close of the statehood campaign. The old autocracy must Rive way to the voice of the people. The (Icmrcratic cwiimittccs in the new slat ought to isHiie an "imperative mandate" to the candidates and some of the newspapers that are preaching opiilist-o-cialistic doctrines and "recall" their attention to the fact that they cannot use the democratic label on those brands of h it i-til heresy, Shawnee Journal. :o : 1 ' Seven is Hie number of accidents on Sunday in this country, every one of these resulting in the death of seven or more.

Custom in Weatern China That Call (or Courage in the Man, It la customary among tbe Lolos of western China for tbe bride on the .veddlng morning to perch herself on the highest branch of a large tree, .vhJle the other female members of her family cluster on the lower limbs, armed with sticks. When all are duly stationed the bridegroom clamber up the tree, as sailed on all sides by blows, pushes and punches from the dowagers, and it is not until he has broken through their fence and captured tbe bride that he Is allowed to carry her off. Similar difficulties assail the bride groom among tbe Mongolian Koraks, who are In the habit of celebrating .heir marriages In large tents, divided Into numerous separate but com municating apartments. At a given signal as soon as tbe guest are assembled tbe bride atarta off through the compartments, fol lowed by her wooer, while the women of the- encampment throw every pos sible Impediment In his way, trip ping up his unwary feet, holding down tbe curtains to prevent bis passage and applying willow and at der switches unmercifully aa , he stoops to raise them.
