I The Washington correspondent of
the St Louis Globe-Democrat says:
"Come of the democrats are beginning
be exercised over the suspicion
that the populists In 1904 will support
llloosevelt instead of the democratic
candidate. Th ey are pointing to the
circumstance that a familiar figure at
f the White house these days is Marion

who have lived long in the flats of the
high buildings In the cities, declares
that the investigation shows that the
heads of these people are much small

He attributes this result to the want
of fresh air, but more especially to the
absence of sunlight. We never- did

came out and testified to the truth of
what The Independent has been say
ing for a goqd many. years,. Head the
following from its sacred -republican
columns: "It has been no secret that
for years in Nebraska delegates to
conventions have been supplied with
passes. While these did not bind a
man to do as he was asked, it has not
been overlooked that the pass has a
soothing effect and inclines tho re
cipient to be good at least There are

J. H. Ager, the political agent of the
Burlington road, has been known for
years . as the most astute politician In
the state, but the other fellows got
ahead of him in the iast tfcal.. An
agreement was entered into with all
the roads that they would shut off the
passes to the conventions. Ager kept
the agreement and the other roads dis
tributed more passes than ever before.
When the Burlington delegates who
paid their fare got rounded up at toe
Lindell they made such a howl that
Ager had to refund tho money.
In explanation of the downfall of
Ager, the State Journal published the
following: You have a good hunch

bump him out and they are trying to
make it appear that the thumping the
