The most friendly of our foreign critics has declared that we have no great nubile leaders. 1C such be the case th ? reason for It is not dlllicult of ascertainment The strength of political party organization has In recent years been built up at the expcns ? of party principles and public good Its machinery has reached from city to state , and from Ftate to nation. Hy torce of Its demands there 'have been nllonlnnted from party ranks many of those who bellevp that political bodies should be maintained In order to contribute substantial benefit to the government , whether It be national , state or municipal , and not in n doctrine the reverse In practice. There wan a tlmo In the annals of our political history when the chief executive of the nation could at the pame tlmo be both the leader of his party and of the public. Hut that day Is passed. There must continue tinueto be an Im-prc'sslble conflict between the good of the public service and modern party organization as long as the latter makes abject party obedlencp the absolute test of public preferment and political hon ors and the only guaranty of accepted ser vice.Out Out of all this-disturbing- destroying force of party organization iher has still eomo In tlio largest measure much of Ines timable value to the public. It has. aroused the business , man to political action , called to duty the scholar , and created to a greater or ICES dPRrc-e Independence even In a par tisan press. I am confident that the public leadership which Is now t , | > e njost forceful thins fur Kood In municipal. stutp. , and national af fairs rests with tho.-io elements In one so cial and palltlca.1 system. It Is leadership divided on mans" h'slies nnd holding to differing fering- views on many questions , but united in a common purpose' to unselfishly pro-mote tlio cause , ot { rood government. Its virility la In the very Individuality iwliic'h is denied to those who denounce political Independence as KomctliliiK to be abhorred and courage o conviction as afjalnsj party decree an un pardonable sin. Its good olHee < liavo more than once , dur- IIIK the ipast two1 decade * ? , be'on enlisted in behalf of reforms which have gained for tlio public at Inrirc beneficial results and added to the comfort of the Individual. Its protest is against lowering1 the standard of American national and commercial Integ rity ; Its demand that the country s > h.ill have a financial Ej'stem rational in construction and adequate to properly meet the e'hnnglng r.rcdj of trade and commerce. It rightfully Insists that those who have the power and the opportunity to act shall not take coun sel of political expediency or endanger tha financial fabric ot the nation through un necessary delay. NEED OK IIKUOTC TREATMENT. The thoughtful citizen everywhere must deprecate a political condition which de mands a leadership outside the lines of a responsible party organization. The fact Itffif bespeaks the need of awakening a dormant public conscience- and calling to notion a heedless electorate. It comes only when great Issues arc at sta'o and great Interests are involved. It constitutes a de-- ff-nrn against these who , unmindful of the trust reposed In their keeping , would sub vert the ends of government to personal de sires and political ambitions.

Everything went well on the trip out , but returning they encountered a heavy thunilorelorm wll'i a fall of rain , and Ici a few minutes the road was made almost Impas&iblo. The soil is thick clay , of the order known in sonic localities as gumbo , aud whcn a little water comes In contact with it a Btibstanco not 1111- llko glue Is the result. The wheels soon became so weighted with the Bluff that travel in tlio wagon was Impossible , and It was re solved to take chiuiccs afcot. There is a peculiarity about gumbo that it sticks like Hy i apor to everything 1'iot ono doesn't want It to remain attached to , anil it somehow won't stick to the ground long enough to step out of It. The members of the party flr t tried Ur > - toolng along , Gradually the sticky suh- stance accumulated under the balls of their feet until they were lifted far fiom the sur face of the ground , and still It accumulated more and more. Gumbo Is not as light ap jionio other substances , cither. Kadi foot that a pedestrian raises from the ground adds pcvcral pounds to his burden of woo. Tiiere Is a limit to a man's carrying ca pacity. When ho has acquired a atllt on each foot that weighs 125 pounds or so he feels like ctopplng to rest or rid himself of the burden , or both , Mr. I'irchanwas the Irst , It Jls F-aUJ to try to kick himself loose from his appendage of mud. Posing himself on ono heavily laden foot , hc kicked out with the other with all his might. Hut ono 01 mint kick gumbo from his shoes , The stuff has been known to resist the efforts of the pick. Mr. Parchan had not calculated on that. When ho kicked the momentum of the hoivy weight carried hlin forward on that foot and to save himself and recover his balance ho waa forced to thrust his other foot forward with considerable vehemence. That foot , too , was heavily laden with the same sprt of mud and the momentum of It had a similar elTcct. As each foot became heavier by the accumu lated weight of gumbo each other foot < bo- conio heavier , too , KO that the increasing brake upon the pedestrian's ppeed waa com pensated for by the Increasing momentum furnished. TJio accumulation had grown to alarming figurce , If expressed in pounds , cnj Mr. I'arclion encountered an up-gpiclo und was saved. Ho secured Implemcnta fitted for the purpose and managed to ucrapo off the bottom of IiU shoes making a nlco now eurfaco for more mud to cling to. ' Thu experience * ) of the other members of the party were similar. They all ploddol along thu line of the Great Falls and Canada railway Into the city , which they reached at midnight. Their horses hod been turned looiio and they reached homo later with 'balls of tnud clinging to their tails as big aa foot balls and smaller spheres of mud hanging pendent from "their " manes. Mr. Woodn took a. hunting dog with him and the animal lay down In the mud to roll , So much of It clung to her that It was wltb difficulty that she dragged Leruolf Into the city.
