Theodore Roosevelt, having railed to stem thn tide of Kepublican. enthusinsm that would not permit him to escape the Vice-Presidentinl nomination, the Re publican parly must now face the seri ous problem of electing its ticket with out the Electorinl vote of New York. Whatever may have been the political chicanery and deceit behind the ficti tious "stampede" that overcame Gover nor Roosevelt's honest instinct and snatched him from his chosen sphere of duty and usefulness, there can be ao doubt that it weakens the Republicswn ticket in the state with the largest vote in the Eleciorial College. Outside oft,he hurly-burly of Philadel phia the people of the United States, who elect Presidents, if they do not con trol conventions, have watched the game with the gravest misgivings as to its consequences. They have seen the con spiracy of Tom Piatt to rob New York of an honest governo* win through the absolutely unwarranted claim that the prairies were aflame demanding the nomination of Roosevelt for Vice-Presi dent. Nothing could have been further from the truth. The all-pervading sentiment in the West where Governor ltoosevelt's personal attributes have made him a popular idol, asked that his earnestly expressed wish for a second term should be respected. The West was not deceiv ed by the trickery and skulduggery th&t ought to take that square-set jaw out of the way of Tom Piatt and jam it into the smooth rounded hole labled "The Vice-Presidency." In Albany Goyernor Roosevelt was th'e deaths head at every corporate feast, the Hy in eyery pot of oily job bery for v\ hick Thomas C. Piatt lives and schemes. In Washington Theodore Roosevelt will be far removed from the oflice in which he has been a terror to rascals and a stumbling block to all kinds of legislative log-rolling and in iquity. Tom Piatt would rather have a Demo crat in the Governor's mansion at Al banv than a second term of Governor Roosevelt. But the Republican voters and the in dependent citizen of New York were prepared to force a second term for Roosevelt. The only way Piatt could checkmate the popular demand for this was through forcing his nomination for Vice-President. This is what he accomplished before he left Philadelpkia Wednesday 'nigkt witk a glad heart beating exultantly under hi9 fractured rib. And now Western Republicans must be prepared to face the difficult task of electing McKinley and Roosevelt with out relying on New York State. Tke truth cannot be concealed tkat as a can didate for Governor, an oflice in which his fearless impetuosity and honest in stincts were needed. Roosevelt would have attracted thousands of independ ent Republicans, anti-Tamoiany Demo crates and Civil Service Reformers to tke support of the Republican ticket. As a candidate for Vice-President his personality will not count for a rush to win support from tkese classes. If a man like Bird S. Coler is nominat ed for Governor by the Democrats against any stool pigeon Tom Piatt may name, does any doubt that tke disgust over the political assassination of the Rough Rider will endanger both the state and national Republican tick ets?. He'is but a shallow student of tke crooked waya,of New York politics wko does not fear ttta^w.orst from tke jockey ing tkat kas rehabilitated Thomas C.

Seminal Weakness and Sex ual Debility, ES2^m8?SKS To Grant over Greeley in 1872 by 45b' C. Piatt the republican delegates from the west kave confronted tkeir constituents witk tkis ill-favored table of November possibilities: Bryan vote in 1896 *170 New York Electoral vote :..36 Kentucky's Electoral vote 12 Maryland's Electoral vote 8 56 4 i...232 Necessary to elect 221 •"Including one from Kentucky. It will be perceived that if Bryan wins in New York, Kentucky and Maryland in addition to the states he carried in, 1896 he will be elected. In order to overcome any such pos sible result of the abuse of western sen timent in Philadelphia it will be neces sary for western republicans to win at least nine electoral votes among the following states wkick cast tkem for Bryan four years ago: California 1 Idako J. 3 Kansas 10 Montana 3 Nebraska 8 8outh Dakota 4 Washington 4 Wyoming 3 Total .. 36 It happens tkat tkese eigkt western states, by reason of the odd one in California, cast precisely tke same vote for Bryan in 1896 tkat New York cast for McKinley. Western republicans will have to bold every electoral vote tke great Central West polled for M& Kinley in 1896 and gain at least nine votes from tke above table to insure the election of McKinley and Roosevelt should tke peculiar conditions in New York result in tke loss of tkat state. For tke benefit of those optimists who scout' the possibility of New York's going Democratic this year let us recall the history of its Presidential eccen tricities during the last generating. New York gave its Electoral vote: To Seymour over Grant in 1868 by 10, 000 plurality. .. r*SS plurality. To Tilden ovfer Hayes in 1876 by 82, 742 plurality. To Garfield over Hancock in 1880 by 21,033 plurality. To Cleveland over Blnin« in 1884 by 1,149 plurality. To Harrison over Cleveland in 1888 by 14,373 plurality. To Cleveland over Harrison in 1892 by 45,518 plurality. To McKinley over Bryan in 1890 by 2(5S,469 plurality. In the language of the Wr"ace track tkese figures prove that as a presiden tial factor New York State is a "rank in 8iul outer." In 1S98, with the money question still an open one in ^Congress, the republi can plurality on the vote for Congress men had shruuk from the 268,469 of McKinley to 13,830. Now let us suppose that the demo crats do. what there is more than a re mote possibility they may do, push silver into the background and nomi nate Bryan and Hill on an anti-trust and anti-imperialist platform, with Bird S. Coler as the democratic nominee for Governor of New York against a stool pigeon of Tom Piatt—does any sane republican think McKinley and Roose velt will have a walkover in New York? If he does he is preparing a rude awak ening for himself next November.— Chicago Times-Herald, [McKinley Organ.] Millions Given Away. It iscertainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

Did you ever see a woman pull her coat, roll up her sleeves, spit on her hands and swear she could lick her weight in wild cats? Did you ever see a woman staggering up and down the Streets cussing and swearing, vomiting and wallowing in her own filth? Did you ever see a woman sitting on a goods box arguing politics and besmearing the sidewalks with filthy tobacco juice? And if you ever did see such a woman, did you ever see' her masquerading in the best society after making suck an exhibition? Women are more generally church membei*B because men compel them to be. Bad men, aa a rule, when seeking a wife,' generally seek her among the ladies of the church and most refined society. The lewd, drunk en and profane woman is given no place in refined society, while men of the same character are, and it often occurs, that men who have been the cause of a woman's fall are among the first to ostracise her. If bad women were taken right into good society, no mat ter what their conduct may have been on the streets, just as' nien are, then women would soon be as few in the churches as men. Men might be better if women were not so good.

"Men who have studied the conditions report to us that at, no time in ten years has the crop at this time of the year looked so clean and_ ap peared to be in such perfect condition. Its color is fine, the stalks are firm and sturdy and the promise of a magnificent crop is excellent. 1 believe there will be a considerable increase in the acreage of corn in the Btate it may amount to 2 per cent.

[From the Shenandoah Sentinel A paragraph is going the rounds that the pastor of the Baptist church in San Francisco, where Durrant murdered two young girls, had confessed on his death bed that be was the murderer of the girls. The story was told to Cyius Reed of this city, who was in San Francisco just about the time of the murder and subscribed for the Examiner, which re ported the trial in full. He took a lively interest in the case at the time and still remembers the particulars distinctly. He therefore wrote to the Examiner to know the truth and for a copy of the confession if one had been made. ^Saturday he received the follow ing, which quiets the false rumor: "San Francisco, June 12.—Cyrus Reed, Shenandoah. Iowa,—Dear Sir: The Rev. Mr. Gibson, pastor of the church in this city of which Duirant was a member, still lives and is preaching in the same church. No confessions have been made. A false rumor to that intent has been circulated, but it has no founda tion, as Rev. Gibson is still living and still preaching and has made., no con fession.—The Examiner." Stung by a Centipede. Mrs. ThoB. Saunders, of Bluil'ton, Tex., was stung by a centipede. A doctor was sent for, but before be arrived some sensible friend wet a piece of brown paper with Morley's Wonderful Eight and applied it to the wound. The doc tor said his services ,were not needed, for the poison was neutralized or killed by the Wonderful Eight. Mrs. S. did not a.ufl'er from the wound. Sold by agent in every town.
