The Democratic party will be "reor ganized" in the future as in the past— by Republican victories. + + By the way, what has become of Hogg of Texas. Can it be that he was caught in Lipton's pork corner? + + + 4- Lord Roberts says the "war as a war" is over. Please tell us, Bobs, how much longer it is to last as something else. t J We are still waiting patiently for the announcement ofthe forthcoming issue of the "Mrs. Oom Paul's Cook Book." + 4- Anyway, the universal adoption of woman's suffrage would aid materially in doing away with the silent vote that so bwilders the politicians. + -f + + It is certainly hard on the Democrats to have nothing to show for all the hard work of the campaign except Webster Davis and Wellington. + t We should like to know whether the governors of North and South Carolina have been duly invited to the irrigation Congress which is about to meet in Chicago 112 + ♦ ♦ It is perfectly clear from the news re ceived from Pfnnsylvania that former Senator Quay stands an excellent chance of reelection and that he stands no chance at all. t + T + Nebraska is now back in the Repub lican column to stay. Like Kansas and some other states, it has returned to its first love after having a razzle dazzle time with the boys. Business is business. President Mc- Kinley is compelled to send the Ken tucky along to collect that little bill despite the congratulations on his re election just extended to him by the Sultan. + + Once was an accident, twice was a coincidence, but three times will be a bad habit, and it isn't quite fair for Mr. Bryan to insist on the Democratic party forming any more of these. It has plenty already. t + + + British bankers are preparing to take the next, government loan at home and keep it from coming to this country. They are preparing by borrowing mon ey in New York. + + + -f Boss Crulisr has at last taken one step towards purifying greater New York, thus proving that be is partially in earnest in his declaration of sympathy with Bishop Potter. He has taken him self off to Europe. t + Prince Ching is going to Europe to humiliate himself before the Kaiser in apology for the death ot Baron Kettler. It is dollars to doughnuts, however, that he is glad to get out of reach of Waldersee even at this price. + + + + Now it seems that that telegram from Mr. Odell to Governor Roosevelt about the Ice Trust was sent only in the im agination of one of the New York yel low journals. This is about what we expected would turn out to be the case 112 + Yale always manages to get advertis ing out of things. There are some 50 colleges in the country that have ac ceded to the request of the Taft com mission to educate certain Filipinos free, but Yale is the only one that has projected its benevolence into the newspapers. + + The Ways and Means committee of the House is hard at work trying to devise some means whereby war taxes can be cut down without endangering the finances of the Government. It is believed that it is possible to do away with some $20,000,000 or $30,000,000 of these. In the past Kentucky has been fam ous as the land of the ready rifle, hut it has not been considered dishonest. But now that it seems to have decided to run a race with New York in th e matter of hundred thousand dollar bank steals, it will soon attain undesirable prominence in that respect also. t t The American jockey is having a hard time in Great Britian. He is co m paratively so few in number that he will not go around and as he nearly al ways wins, the majority that cannot employ is so great that it seems likely that he will be barred from the race course there. + + 4- 4- It is well understood that the present membership of the House of Represen tatives is unwieldy, and that it should ! at least not be further increased under j the new apportionment. But unless i it is increased, Nebraska, Kansas, Vir ginia, Ohio, and one or two other states will have to be reduced and there is a good deal of objection to anything of j the kind. When Carnegie Was a Lad. Apropos of the old-tiine telegra ; pliers in convention at St. Paul, | this story is told of Andrew Carne | gie, who once handled a key. A white-haired man had a desk in the editorial rooms of the Pitts burg Times in the latter part of the SO's. He "did" exchange work, "marine" and commercial. One afternoon a messenger boy came in with a special. His slip was signed by the telegraph editor and the boy left. The old man in the corner took oil his spectacles, wiped them care fully, and said: "Thirty odd years ago I was what they now call a 'telegraph editor.' We didn't get many mes sages in those days and the boys didn't wear uniform. One day a chunky little lad put a telegram on my desk. and I signed for it as you did just now. The boy was Andy Carnegie." The old man replaced his specta cles and resumed his 020-a-week job. Quay and the People. From the New Castle Courant-Ouardian. The enemies of M. S. Quay who imagine that some of the members of the legislature who are not open ly in his favor will vote against him, and so encompass his defeat, do not take into consideration sev eral circumstances which will make his next canvas in the state legisla ture different than it was before. At the time of his famous battle he was under indictment in the courts and the cry was raised, "No trial, no caucus," and it appealed to some who were not personally opposed to Quay. But since that time he has been acquitted by the court and by the Republican party in the State, whose members have faith in him and be lieve that the charges against him were false and made for political purposes. His enemies were pow erful and persistent, and by the very force of their accusation com pelled attention, but the people have shown conclusively that they prefer to trust Quay to trusting the gang opposed to him, and he and his friends have been elected to the control of the next legislature of Pennsylvania. The closer one gets to Bryan's Nebraska home, the less the people seem to care for him. The Minne apolis Tribune rubs it in after this fashion: "The better the country knows Mr. Bryan the less it wants him in the White House,or, indeed, in any place of responsibility and power. He made a more thorough canvas this year than he did four years ago; he talked to more people, he presented his views more fully, and he was beaten worse. It was evidently a case of familiarity breeding contempt." It is only in Massachusetts that they look upon Bryan as a "second Abraham Lin coln. '' When the election figures are worked out for all they are worth they show, as the Chicago Journal proves, that "Bryan carried only four States, Colorado, Idaho, Mon tana, and Nevada, with a combined j population, of 1,031,428, or nearly a million less than the population |of the city of Chicago. The south, I though its electoral vote will be j counted, was no more concerned in the issues of the campaign than if j it were a part of Africa." Zinc and Grinding Make !

The Philadelphia Pre**, Postmas ter General Charles Emery Smith's paper, the oflicial clearing house of the insurgent newspapers of the commonwealth, has editorially de clared itself outside the pale of any and all political parties. Its ha tred of Senator M.S.Quay seems to have been responsible for its sev erance of the last tie which gave its utterances party significance and party weight. The skull and cross bones of political piracy have been hung at the masthead. The mask has been removed and its man hunting policy re-enunciated. In its leading editorial the other day the Press declared: The law makes the duty of the legislature to elect a United States Senator. That duty can not be performed by a caucus. There is no law even of the party that recognizes the caucus. This is a new doctrine for an al leged Republican newspaper to preach. It is one not recognized by Republicans, Democrats, Pro hibitionists or any other political party yet formed. The Press will certainly not plead ignorance of the fact that party primaries and caucuses are the fundamental principals of political organizations. It is surely aware of the fact that the two great political parties of the United States, in every state and at every legislative session, caucus not only upon the question of a choice for the United States senatorsliip—when a vacancy ex ists —but also on questions of legis lation and matters of political ex pediency. It is also a matter of indisputed information to the Press that, in that the greatest of all councils of parlimentarv and party law, the Congress of the United States, the Republican and Democratic mem bers caucus upon all questions of party expediency, organization and legislation. The Press also knows that the individual participants in these caucuses are bound by the action of the majority. It knows that the member of Congress who does not respect this solemn obli gation will forfeit the respect of bis party associates and his standing as a representative of the people. And still the Press says "there is 110 law even of the party which recognizes the caucus." This paper which voices the sen timents of the postmaster general, of Senators Flinn and Martin and Mr. Wanamaker, does not repre sent Col. Guffev, the Democratic leader, their partner in the state campaign, for he has declared that the Democrats will caucus upon the senatorsliip and legislative mat ters. And further on in this treason able editorial the Press declares: "There is no obligation on the part of any Republican to attend a cau cus." Then the editorial leaks. It tells why the caucus is a bad thing and incidentally admits that the stalwart Republicans will not only control the caucus, but also insure the re-election of Senator M 8. Quay. The Press says: The man who goes into the Quay caucus goes in as a Quay man and not as a Republican. By such an act he demonstrates that he is nothing but a Quay mau. No Republican nominated and elected as an anti-Quay roan can attend the Quay caucus and bind himself by its decision without betraying his constituents. No Republican who wants to be free to exer cise his own judgment and best serve the party will put the caucus gag on his vote. The caucus disfranchises the constituencies of the members who attend. For a newspaper that contends that "Quay is beaten" the Press certainly exhibits little confidence in its own predictions. It shies at the caucus, and will shy at any de termining test of political strength. —Pittsburg Commercial. "If Quay is beaten, why should it be necessary to repeat it morn ing, noon and night?" says the Pittsburg Commercial - Gazette. "Why so much reiteration? Win juggle with figures and print mis leading legislative tables if Quay is beaten? Quay does not seem to be worried over the matter. He is not saying a word. For a defeated man he is bearing his misfortune with truly Christian fortitude." Oreat Luck of an Editor.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Nov. 10.—In an interview Admiral Dewey said: "lam out of politics definitely. In a moment of weakness I said I was willing to be a presidential candidate if the people wanted me, but I thank Ood I was not wanted. I once said that the president's sole duty was to execute the laws, hut I changed my mind. The president ob viously has to formulate policies, and it is not merely a ministerial office. I am not disposed to make suggestions for the guidance of any party, for while I explained when I was asked some months ago as to my politics that I was a Democrat, lam not a partisan lam a naval officer, and if we have war again, which I hope we will not, I shall ask the administration in power for a chance to do my duty at the front. "One thing I can say, and it is this: We should retain the Philippines until they are capable of self-government. We have a duty to perform and we must meet it."- Why They Oppose Quay. Hon. George McNees tells a good story on one of his rural constituents from Cowanshannock township. He was an old gentleman with shaggy whiskers, who does not keep as well posted on political affairs as some men who have little else to do, but had his own ideas of right, and did the best he could with the light he had. His dis trict went strongly anti-Quay at the spring primary, and as he was some thing of a leader up there, Mr. McNees said, the first time he saw him after election: "Your township went pretty strong ly anti-Quay, didn't it?" "Yep." "Don't seem to like Quay very well up there, do they?" "Well," said the old man, in a half apologetic tone, "they hain't nothin' particular again' Quay, but you know his brother Andy has been wantin' somethin' for a long time, an' hain't been gettin' a tarnation thing. From what we could see in the Times we concluded that Andy Quay waa'nt a bad sort of a feller, an' as Mat had been beatin' of him right along, an' we be lieve in passin' a good thing around, we jest voted for Andy Quay.—Punxy Spirit.

WBBSKBMtFSS^ttBHSUBHSS&X Every woman loves to think of the time when a soft little body, all her own, will nestle in her bosom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the Joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there ha 3 been upon the market, well-knov/n j and recommended by physicians, a liniment called mother's Friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sick ness and the loss of the girlish figure. An intelligent mother in Butler, Pa., ! says: " Wero I to noed Mother's l''rlend I again, I would obtain t) bottles if I had to puy $5 per bottle for it."
