The democrats who urged McKlnlcy
to war against Spain In the Interests
of Cuba and urged the prompt recog
nition of the new republic , are now
criticizing the present administration
for Its prompt recognition of Panama
It Is clear that the democrats novot
can bo satisiled with the actions of a
republican administration , and further
thor than that the people and the ad
ministrations appear to care but very
little whether they are or not , soloiif ,
as the action of the government Is
as nearly right as possible.
The democrats have their eyes
glui'd on the returns from the Tnm
many victory In Now York as an omei
of good to their cause during the com
Ing national campaign. They shouU
not lese sight of the fact , however
that Mr. Hryan spent the greater par
of his time in Ohio , and those wlu
are gleeful over the Tammany victory
must needs Ignore Mr. Hryan as any
thing of a leader , or If ho Is still con
sldored a leader they cannot consist
ently base their forecasts of the com
Ing light on anything but the returns
from Ohio. Mr. Hryan and his favor
Ite , Tom Johnson , were sat down 01
hard In the Ohio tight and had llttlo
or nothing to do with the Tammany
victory In Now York.
The World - Herald's enthusiast )
over the Tammany victory evidently
gets the bettor of its judgment and 1
stated that It was distinctly demo
cratlc. The democrats have the con
sent of the republicans to take al
the joy possible from the New Yorl
municipal election. It was Mr. Dry
an's exclamation , "Great Is Tammany
and Crokor Is its prophet , " that con
trlbutcd largely to his defeat during
his latest battle , nnd the republicans
would llko nothing bettor than to
have the democrats follow Tammany
during the fight next year. They fee
reasonably certain that the majority
of the voters of the country cauno
bo induced to stand for nn ndmlnls
tratlon that will bo permeated witl
Tammanyism , and will bo controlled
by the element of which Tammany is
composed.
The democrats would like nothing
bolter than to make it appear tha
Mr. Hanna desires the overthrow o
President Roosevelt and wishes to bo
nominated for the first place on the
republican ticket It is to bo hopei
that they will bo doomed to dlsap
polntmout. The party at largo is sat
isHed with Roosevelt and , with Mr
Hnnim as chairman of the natlona
committee and perhaps a future pros
Identlal possibility , they will have
nothing to fear regarding the out
como. Mr. Hanna would lake an aw
ful drop , however , in Iho esllmallon
of his party , should ho consent to
fall in with the democratic desires
and permit his name to stand as a
candidate for the nomination In oppo
sition to President Roosovolt. Sus
plclon would at once point to the fac
that the Ohio senator is being urged
or the place by Iho largo money In
terests , nnd combinations that Pros-
dotil RooBovolt has oppoBcd.
Of course nothing whatever will bo
atlsfactory to Sonalor Morgan and his
pnrllsans regarding Iho slluntlon nt
I'auama. They might have done dif

there Is only ono course open for a
party lacking an Issue and that Is to
< Ick and kick hard all the tlmo. A
few might bo turned against the ad-
illustration in that way and every
Ittlo counts to a party so deeply in
llstress. If if they only had the
support of the Colombians in the mat
ter or If they had but had the votes
oi the KIllplnoB to count on during
tholr anti-expansion program , results
night have been different and might
yet ho different , but fortunately or
tnfortunatoly they could not got in
the votes of the people of the east
and may not bo able to vote the pco-
plo of Colombia when they most need

There nro n lot of people in nnd

There are still restrictions Imposed
> y the game law that operates to the
advantage of the game birds and for
those desiring the moro sport and
the gamy birds for tholr table. The
law states that there shall not bo

who sell or purchase pralrlo chickens
or quail are laying themselves liable
to prosecution under the laws of the

Dr. Lyman Abbott says that If a
Catholic priest should dare attempt
to toll his people how to vote the
protestant element of the town would
bo in llamed with indignation , and
yet It is quite the customary thing In
some portions of the country forprot-
estant clergymen to deliver political
discourses from the pulpit , as did an
Omaha minister on a recent Sunday.
If Jtjs right for other ministers to
talk politics , surely broad falrmlnded-
ness would not attempt to forbid a
Catholic the same right. If the conn
try has reached that state of advance
ment where It Is necessary for the
pulpits to ho made political platforms
every minister has a llko right to glvo
his views on the political questions of
the day. No ono will question the
right of a minister to speak out on
questions of sound morality and pur
Uy In politics , but the people will in
sist that they should ho very certain
that they are doing what Is unques
tionably right If they espouse the
cause of any party from the pulpit.
Nothing is more to bo desired from
a republican standpoint than that
the extraordinary session of congress
and the regular session to follow
shall serve to unite the republicans ,
but there Is fear lu more than ono
republican heart that there will bo
dissensions that may lead to a rup
ture. It cannot be expected that the
American sugar Interests will stand
idly by and see the doors of the Am-
merlcan markets thrown wide open
to receive the sugar of Cuba without
attempting to prevent the plan , and
so many republicans have taken n
stand on the other side that it can
not bo expected that they -will give
in to the representations of the sugar
interests in this country that the
American market should bo for the
American producer. It Is to bo hoped
that the matter of the reciprocity
treaty might ho adjusted without u
conlllct , and there may bo a way ,
If there is , In the interest of republl
can harmony It should bo found and
followed. President Roosevelt should
enter the campaign next year with a
united party back of him to glvo him
energetic support , but there wl'l ' ho
some of his support that will bo
half-hearted , though it does not be
come positively antagonistic if , in
the efforts of congress to aid the
sugar planter of Cuba , the American
beet grower and sugar manufacturer
Is crippled. If there Js a demand that
will bo profitable to both , and if all
the profits accruing are not absorbed
by Havomoyer , or the other sugar
refiners , then there will bo llttlo oh
jectlon to the carrying out of the
reciprocity program , but if the homo
Interests are crippled there will bo
a decided sentiment against the pol
icy , both by those directly Interested
nnd those who ndmlro the tlmo
honored policy of the republican
party of protection for the horrr In
dustrles , and particularly these that
are just obtaining a foothold.

Ho says the jay said he had come

ed to take in the city , and , as ho de
sired to take It in right , he wanted to
be made as pretty as possible. The
jay told the harbor to use all the aids
to beauty ho know of. Thereupon ,
the barber put the jay in the chair ,
and dyed his hair and eyebrows ,
steamed him out , cut off his whiskers ,
trimmed his long locks , shaved his
neck , powdered and roughed his face ,
painted his lips , blackened his eye
brows , and put a llttlo cute piece of
court plaster on his cheek. When tha
jay got out of the barber chair , ho
had been transformed from a hay
seed to something that was meant
to just naturally set the girla crazy.
The Kansas City barber has a delicate
sentiment regarding the high calling-
of the barber trade , and ho submits
