A Flhtr PrB T'lii.
Certain Republicans are laying the .
Csttriog unction to their souls that j
thy fan defeat that brave old Demo- i
rratlc warnrs. Colonel Rudolph Kle- j
trfrg of th Pio Grande district of Tex- i
a . lut they ar re-konlnjr without j

f jjhtr from away bark. There are no !
frills or fu and feathers al-ut your
I'tM-1 Rudolph. He quietly whets his
ani-kre and goes after thern, and t
wbeu h gts through they are not.
The r-.i!i why the enemy thinks he j
t rvn .-apttire Kleberg's district is that
' the lHmocrats had a big fight for the
nomination, U'onder these Republican
Mltors nerer larn that Democrats are
l!k r at a-8gbting more fight, more
cats." So true is this that when the
Texas IemoTacy was spilt in twain
ocie years ago The Globe-Democrat
roor:rnfully remarked. "Perhaps the
Ijemorratle majority in Texas can be
k-pt blo-r th. 2iai,o mark this year."
It's a 1 to l hot that tb Ieroocrats
of Txas will rdeiri Colonel Hawley's

nepvbllraaa on the Ran. '
The Republicans are on the run
crrry where. They are scared. Straws
h"w which way the wind blows.
I'p iu ti e old Granite State Hon. Wil
liam C. Chandler is trying to pull him-
!f back into tbe senate for another (
terta by going about lawling at the '
top of his voice that Senator William 1
A. Clark of Montana Is endeavoring i
to compa his defeat. Just as he re- i
eb-ctel himself once by exhibiting to ;
j which Joe Blackburn pulled nearly
i off. If the New Hampshire people
I can le fooled by auy such cheap and
tram-part nt trkk as that, they are blg-
... t
ger fools than Thompson's celebrated
colt, which swam the Mississippi river
to get a. drink. Chandler says that
Clark has sworn to spend $100,000
to compass his defeat. The chances
are that Clark wouldn't give 100 cents
to beat Chandler, and nobody knows It
better than Chandler blmbfif. He la
simply making his race under false
pretenses In order to keep a Democrat
out of the senate and to lift himself in
again.
Out in Indiana, the friends of Hon.
Charles B. Landis are also scared and,
strange to say, are endeavoring to
work on the Hoosier voters a game of
bunko very similar to the one Senator
Chandler Is playing up in New Hamp
shire. The Landis rooters, seeing him
about to lose his seat in congress to a
Democrat, have raised the hue and cry
that Brigham H. Roberts of Utah Is
raising heaven and earth and expend
ing a large sum of hard cash to beat
Landis. What arrant nonsense! What
cheap demagogy! What miserable
claptrap! Landis bad no more to do
with putting Roberts out than did a
dozen others, not much more than
about 200 others, and Roberts knows
that. Then why should Roberts single
out Landis for vengeance any more
than Judge Lanham of Texas? It's
all bosh and shows the sore straits in
which Republican candidates find
themselves.
By tbe way. it appears that Landis is
not tbe only Republican statesman who
uses Roberts as a bogy man. Hon.
Robert W. Taylor of Ohio started the
same canard to save himself from be
ing defeated for the nomination, and,
wonderful to tell, the trick worked like
a charm. T really wonder how many
more of them are going to try to save
their congressional bacon by yelling:
"Help, good people; help! That man
Roberts Is after me!'' Roberts, even
if fool enough to undertake it. would
have to be richer than Croesus to do
much toward punishing the men who
bounced him. I beiped to do that thing
myself. I took a humble part in the
purification of congress. I helped to
keep him out. btit I am not idiot euougb
to believe that Roberts could control
even one vote in the congressional dis
trict which I have the houor to repre
sent. Landis must have a marvelous
lot of constituents if be fears the ma
lign influence of Roberts upon them.
He really believes nothing of the sort,
and the Roberts business is a bold,
bald play to the galleries.
Repeater In Wt Virginia.
' But in West Virginia the badly; scar
ed Republican leaders are playing a
more substantial game. Even at this
early date they are importing colored
heelers and repeaters by the carload
"to work on the railroad.'' You bet
they ill "work on the railroad" one
day the day of the election! After
"working on the railroad" the first half
of that day they will journey over into
Kentucky and "work on the railroad"
some more. Nothing like having a few
thousand nomadic colored brothers ''to
work on the railroad" on elect iou day.
Republicans are scared, but It should
be remembered that they are most dan
gerous when most scared, and Demo
crats should be more vigilaut than
ever. Democratic managers every
where should see to it that we have a
fair deal this time and that no such
wholesale colonization and stuffing of
the ballot lox are permitted this time
as took place in 1S96. If elections are al
ways to be conducted on the corrupt
plan of 18015, we might as well save the
expenses of the farce and boldly and
openly put tbe offices up at auction
and knock them down to the highest
bidder.
Melon Jab at Teddy.
But Mr. Towne is not the only per
son that seems disposed to take a fall
out of Colonel Roosevelt. That bright
and sparkling independent Journal, the
Washington Post, makes this vicious
Jab at Teddy :
Thia is not the flrat time Toddy the Terrible has
been compelled to wriggle cut of an unpleasant
predicament. It will be recalled that the ques
tion of ta pajnnf slipped into bis gubernatorial
t ampaign.
As a friend and constant reader of
The Post I voluntarily and without
charge advise it to "look a leedle out."'
or the hero of Oyster Bay will swoop
down upon Washington, lasso it and
dump it into the Potomac. Just as he
Is blossoming out as the great apostle
of purity and light, it. is bad manners in
The Post to jog the people's memory
about Teddy's career as a tax dodger,
and recalls Bourke Cockran's great ar
gument against the income tax, to wit:
"That the passage of the income tax
bill would force the poor persecuted
downtrodden plutocrats of New York
to commit perjury in order to escape
payment!' If a hero is not permitted
to dodge his taxes, what's the use in
being a hero? Let the Washington
Post answer that or forever hold its
peace.
The Globe-Democrat is the Mark
Tapley of American politics. It Is al
ways cheerful, forever hopeful. Just
at present It is trying to delude itself
nd its readers by asserting that Dem
ocratic leaders in Missouri fear a
slump If not a defeat. I commend to
it a careful perusal of the following
beautiful poem by my friend Ripley
D. Saunders-
HOT TIMES IX OLD MISSOURI,
not times in old Missouri
When Aufruet days come round.
And campaign speakers make the itata
A big debating- ground.
Hot times: Hot times!
But the game must gtQ"l be plaed
Ilot times with oratory jt
One hundred in the shade!
Hot times in old Missouri
When August days chip in
With politics to make the blood

Hot times! Hot times!
But not a soul dismayed t
Bring on your oratory at
One hundred in the shade I
He's At It Again
W. E. Curtis, the Chicago Record
correspondent, seems determined that
the reputation he has acquired as the
most accomplished liar of the last de
cade of the Nineteenth century shall
not become deteriorated. A while ago
he went down to New York and fair
ly maintained it by waiting letters to
the effect that Croker and Hill were
engaged in a conflict to the death and
that neither one.of them would do the
least thing to help in,the election of
Bryan. Then he wrote some letters
and found that they were destroying
his reputation as a liar, for in them he
acknowledged that Croker was in
earnest and that there was danger
that he and Hill would carry the state
of New York for Bryan. Then he
went over into the anthracite coal re
gion and took up his old trade again.
The following are the most recent
specimens of his work:
"Eight or ten cars of coal are the
result of an ordinary day's work, for
which the miner is paid from 70 cents
a car upward, according to the char
acter of the vein of coal in which he
is working. That is determined by the
superintendent. Thus a first-class
miner who produces ten cars of coal
gets $7 a day. From, this he pays bis
assistant $1.60 a day and his powder
bill, which is $1 or so, and finds him
self with $4.40 or thereabouts as the
net earnings of the day."
"The women claim that when their
husbands are paid in cash they speed
ily seek the saloons and generally
come home drunk, with empty pockets,
on pay day, whereas if they are paid
in store orders such misfortunes can
not occur. As a rule the miners are
drinking men, and pay-day always is
attended with more or less domestic
disturbance. The dissolute miners are
said to be behind the demand for the
abolition of the company stores."
These "pluck me" stores in which
miners are forced to trade have long
since been abolished in every civilized
country except this, but now comes W.
E. Curtis, chief staff correspondent of
the Chicago Record, and says that the
dissolute miners are the ones who
want these skinning shops abolished.

What Steuffer Did
I Editor -Independent: I write you to
; recall a little of the record of William
i Steuffer, candidate-C for state treas
urer on the republican ticket,
j As a member of the senate of 1895,
! he served on a committee to investi
I gate the solvency of Bartley's bonds-
men. Bradstreet's agency furnished
1 all the information the committee got
; hold of, which was to the effect that
of all the men on the bond only two
j were solvent and they together were
worth to the bond about $700,000.
Xotwithstanding this adverse report
! on the part of the ager.cy, the republi
; can majority of the committee con
j sisting of Messrs. Akers and Steuffer
1 reported to the senate that the bond
was absolutely good for the $2,000,000
it called for. When Bartley went out
short $600,000 he had the money
f armed out to friends. Dietrich and
, Steuffer are bankers. If elected thejr
would be members of the board of
school lands and funds. This shows
i connection between Ihe present and
old gang of republicans and the pos
sibilities in store if they are elected.
