Tom Johnson, —where, O where is lie? Ask of the election hurri cane. Mr. Bryan seems to have suc cess in Europe, interviewing kings and things. "The Lord has delivered him in to our hands!" Exclaim the op ponets of Geeneral Wood's promo tion; "he has begun to write let ters. '' Democratic House Leader, John Sharp Williams, speaks of the 1 'hasty partutition" of the Pan ama Republic. And he talks as if he thought Uncle Sam was its mother! It is supposed that Senator Hoar's resolution asking for full information will be passed when a conservative committee has shorn them of some of that eccentric gentlemen's peculiarities. The entire property of a trust capitalized at $100,000,000 was sold at auction last week for 54,- 500,000 —less than a twentieth of its alleged value. This looks as if President Roosevelt's "publicity" panacea was working to some ex tent, doesn't it? William Jennings Bryan has bought his father's old homestead at Salem, 111. He will perhaps be queth it to the State to exhibit as the place where a candidate far the presidency was born. It is reported that the Moros have abolished Slavery in the Sultt islands by a vote of their legisla ture, whatever it is callled—more or less voluntarily. This is Col. Bates justified and Uncle Sam glorified. Dr. Parkliurst predicted that the lid of Hades would be bloTrn off in New York this week. It was probably a figure of speech to in dicate the disgruntlement of those Tammany politicians who have not been slated for appointment to of fice under McClellan. General Johu C. Black, just ap pointed to tin; head of the Civil Service Commission by the Presi dent, was so badly wounded dur ing the Civil w».r that he has since been unable to dress himself. He is a man of attractive appearance and one of the most effective "spell-binders" of the Democratic party. Senator Hoar makes a good many inquiries, but he means well. He merely wants, to know, Yankee fashion. His principal classic fav orite is Seerates, who sauntered around from door to door bother ing his Athenian neighbors with conundrums and interfering with their work. General Reyes, the Columbian minister, is naturally impatient and anxious for an early reply to his note to the State Department ask ing what our intentions are. And the Secretary of State is quite as anxious that the matter shall bo disposed of as quickly as is consist ent with dignity and caution. The Colombian note contains a list of grievances which that nation claims to have suffered from the action of the United States. I'om - men seem tn have the horseless Sterling Hun Items.
