The drug: trust is next on the list. was due a long time aso, but at last its case has been called. By (his time it must be apparent to Chancellor Day that his mouth ex ploded prematurely. Copper Kins: Ileinze is another who doesn't believe the people have any right to vote for Unite,! States sena tors. Vespasian Warner is said to look a great deal happier these days than he possibly could if he were governor of Illinois. Just fof a change, it has bem ar gued, why not call "em "muck rake sociables" instead of ''pink teas." That would be nnie up-to-date and popular. The Illinois .senate asked for a con ference on the S'hurtleff bill, and doubt less a word will be changed here and there. In the meantime the $, a day goes on for all members, and that is the only important remaining consideration. Some of them keep on talking"lncle Joe" Cannon for president, notwith standing that they have just trolted him out before the entire country and advertised that he is 70 years old. His supporters tell that he is 70 years "young," but that is a little too young. Henry S. Adams, the veteran ca.shier of the Boston postal district, yester day completed 60 years in the United States postal service. Mr. Adams en tered the postal service in Newbury port in IStC and went to the Host on of fice in IS.".. lie served as assistant clerk until 1SC2, when he was made cashier, which position he has held 44 years. He has served under 13 of the 42 postmaster generals. He has seen the rates of postage reduced gradually from 1(5 to 2 cents and the force in creased in lioston from 14 carriers and 5C clerks to more than 2,000 emploj'es. Senator Bacon of Georgia was active at the war department and White house in protesting against the march of Father Sherman across Georgia on the route taken by General Sherman when he was marching through Geor gia. At the Cannon birthday recep tion. President Roosevelt, in shaking hands with Senator Bacon, said: "Here is the man who stopped Sher man's second march through Georgia to the sea." "That's better luck than I had the first time," Bacon replied. "I tried to stop the first march to the sea by Sherman, but I never got any where on the project." Brooklyn Eagle: From two insur ance companies has come tile announce ment that they will not stand by the combination: that they will do business at the old rates. Their policies will increase and multiply accordingly They explain that they will not per mit this city to be penalized for a fire thousands of miles away, which explan ation states the whole case of the. com bination. Penalizing is precisely what the trust has in mind no more, no less. It is proposed that the holders of policies in the east shall make good losses incurred in the- west. This is about as rank an iniquity as ever was attempted. THE EASY OIL. Scott's Emulsion is " the easy oil "easy to take, easy in action. Its use insures deliverance from the griping and nau seating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for their stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion is to be had. It is equally certain that no one having a regard for their, health will accept a cheap emulsion or alco holic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. It fulfills ev ery mission of cod liver oil and 'more. , to keep private fortunes within certain i SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street, New York, The era of the pure and denatnrized light and fuel appears to be upon us. The agricultural department says that the average amount of sugar and starch which goes to waste in stalks of Indian corn annually would make one hundred gallons of commercial al chohol per acre. The number of ac res in corn is about one hundred mil lions, hence the alchohol that goes to waste in stalks of corn alone is al most beyond the grasp of our concep tion, bui potatoes, beets end various other vegetables can also be turned into this new and exhaustless source of I'ght, heat and motor power. Kooaevelt and Bryan. The Baltimore American one of the strongest and ablest republican news papers in the east in an editorial the ol'ier day remarked: "The American people have come to the conclusion that between the ad TH'.ut rr-i-.Tomic theories of Mr. Bryan anrl President Roosevelt's views on the regulation of corporations by the government, the control of railroad rates and an inheritance tax on wealth, limits, there is no material difference, except as regards the tariff, between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan. It was charged in 1S9G that Mr. Bryan's plat form committed him to hostility to the courts. But within the last few weeks the country has seen President Roose velt call a federal judge to account in the strongest terms for construing an act of congress according to his understanding of it. The country, has seen the president significantly ex pressing the hope that no other mem ber of the federal judiciary would fol low the example of the judge whom he felt constrained to rebuke. Would Mr. Bryan have gone farther? they ask. "Dismissing the speculative phases of the question, it may be observed that the spirit which animates Presi dent Roosevelt is more that of the democratic candidate and platform of 1S96 and 1900 than the spirit of his own party platform in the last 10 years. His condemnation of corporate injus tice in his public addresses and his messages to congress may fairly be regarded as the result of the seed sown by Mr. Bryan in 1890 and 1900. The attitude of the public toward the insurance revelations, its attitude whenever other great corporations have come into conflict with t he inter ests of the people, has been determin ed by Mr. Bryan's utterances in two presidential compaigus and the spirit which he aroused then. Mr. Bryan has good reasoH to feel Mattered ( at the commendation which his economic theories have received fro.n 1'residfnt Roosevelt. Imitation is said to be the f incerest form of flattery. "The president is rot i-nly imitat ing, but be is niakiug iu concealment of the fact that some of Mr. Bryan's principles suit him letter than those of his own party. Mr. Bryan is now on a second tour or tne world. -No thing brightens a man's mind so much as travel. He will be able, no doubt, to take a large-minded and philosophi cal view of the president's boldness in arraying himself in democratic plum age, bmfe the president thinks it is for the good of the country, however, Mr. Bryan will patriotically acquiese. But anything more curious than tbe present political situation it is not likely he has seen in any quarter of the globe." Here is about as striking a tribute to the power and honesty of Mr. Bry an as has been stated by any news paper. The statement is not. startling, but only an honest confession from a republican newspaper that, we do not often see. The facts only go to strengthen a conviction long since pos sessed by the public mind, that Mr. Bryan had the courage and ability to condemn the incorporate injustice, when he was villified. and called all manner of names. We always believ ed in the honesty of Mr. Bryan and time only confirmed our conviction and are gratified to know that our re publican friends are beginning to have the courage to acknowledge these facts. Hats off to William Jennin: Bryan, the true champion of the peo ple's cause. Galveston and Kan Francisco. The restored Galveston should be in spiriting to the stricken people of San Francisco, who, after all, were not so hard hit as were those of the Texas city. In the September Hood of 1!HH not less than ten or twenty times as many lives were lost in Galveston as were destroyed by fire and earthquake in San Francisco, and as the property loss in Galveston was due to water. fire insurance could not be collected for it. And yet. Galveston has already made itself safe against a recurrence of the disaster which overwhelmed it less than six years ago and its business is greater now than ever before. San Francisco will restore itself. If it cannot be guaranteed against earth quakes In the future it can rebuild so that earthquakes will not hurt it much. j DAILY STORY j KNOCKING OUT A RIVAL. i The IJry Dock IJewc Sousing through the startled tide, Scatfrlnjf wavelets far and wide.

Frank Edgecombe and I were chum in college and fellow athletes. We fought on the same football team and had our photograph taken standing together iu the costume we bad worn on the grldirou, I holding the pigskin In the hollow of my arm. Edgecombe married a rich woman and buiit a splendid country place. He invited me to visit hiru there in the warm season, and In the party, among others, was Miss Emma Keith, whom 1 desired to win, and Winfield Larraway, who looked upon Miss Keith with the same languishing eyes. Larraway and I each knew of the other's Intentions and hated each other accordingly. There are 'vVoineu who would like nothing better than to put two men at swords point 011 their ac count, but Miss Keith was not one of that kind. I and my rival both knew that any word spoken against tin other by either of u.s would render the speak er contemptible in ber sight. We out wardly treated each other with studied politeness. There was a cottage on Edgecombe's premises that be bad fitted up for lounging. It was a luxurious summer bouse furnished with costly rugs, di vans and other such appropriate furni ture. One morning I strolled down there and, going into a room' adorned with Edgecombe's college trophies and supplied with magazines, settled my self in an easy chair to read. On the wall hung the photograph of Edge combe and myself in football costume. Hearing a footstep and a rustle of skirts, not wishing to be interrupted in my reading I moved into an anteroom just as a lady entered the one I had Irjf. The door between the two rooms was open, and I saw Miss Keith gr to tbe photograph, look at it long and steadily, give a pleasurable sigh and turn to the table on which rested the periodicals. Encouraged, by what I bird seen I went In and joined ber. We chatted, and I ventured to lead the way to giv ing her an inkling as to my feelings when I beard a man's quick footstep. There Mas no impropriety in our leing there together, but I saw an anxious glance pass over Miss Keith's face and on the impulse stepped Into an ante room, intending to pass out by a side door. I.ut I found there was 1x0 side door. Before 1 could decide what to, do Larraway entered aud told Miss ! Keith that be was going to the city for the day and would be happy to execute any commission she might bave. Pur- . ing bis brief stay they chatted alout the trophies, and Larraway expressed the most unbounded admiration for my physical proi tortious, also giving my meutal and moral endowments un stinted praise. I kne.w perfectly well that be bad seen 1hUi ine and MKs Keith enter the summer bouse aud that he bad praised me for a purpose. When I rejoined Miss Keith she was somewhat flus tered, and I could see that she had been very much prepossessed with Lar ra way's praise of bis rival. "You are both fine fellows." she said, "and Mr. Larraway especially has had an opiort unity to uow bis nobility of character." "I am happy to be classed with him in such high praise," I replied and changed the subject. Larraway bad scored one on me, and if I could not turn tbe tide I feared I should lose the prize. A few days lat er I was knocking the balls about on the tennis court when be came out on to tbe piazza. Miss Keith was sitting In dishabille at a window, the shutters of which were closed, for the day was very hot, thinking that she was Invisi ble from the court. I invited Larra way, who bad not seen her, to play tenuis, and, putting blm In a position where he could not refuse without seemiHg to be disobliging, he reluc tantly consented. Now I had taken prizes at match games of tennis and was then a cham pion. Tbe first ball I served I lauded on the tip of Larraway's nose. There Is something painful In being Ihus bit at any time, but to be struck by a man one bates Is too much for any man's equanimity. All the venom that bad been long accumulating in Larraway's breast burst its louds aud was poured on my devoted bead. This Is nt u proper place to give bis lan guage, which is not fit, especially for a lady, to hear. . I saw something white moving behind the window blinds aud knew that Miss Keith had departed to escape the unseemly vitaperations that were loaded upon me. I calmly apolo gized to Larraway, even offering him my handkerchief to 'stop the red flood that poured from bis nose. He turned on his heel and went to the house, while I remained on the court, and since I did not care to be seeu dancing inyself I gave vent to my feel ings by dancing the ball ou my racket. When next I met Miss Keith I ven tured a remark praising my rival for his rare patience, bis kindly disposi tion, and was passing-on to his other adorable traits when she put her hands to ber ears. I asked In affected sur prise if I bad offended ber, but I knew she was trying to shut out the remem brance of Larraway's language. A The name Keen Kutter eliminates all uncertainty in tool buying.
