Editor Edgar Howard has a dark horse for senator locked up in his editorial stable which he will trot out "at the proper time." Perhaps it's Chris Gruenther. There's trouble brewing between the two factions of the democratic machine in Platte county, which is liable to break out in au open rupture when the time approaches for nominating a state ticket The split will come when Shal lenlierger demands a renomination. Dahlman has some very warm sup porters in Platte county, and interest in his candidacy is growing and the opposition to Shallenberger increasing. The action of the state convention in refusing to endorse the daylight law has caused considerable soreness among the governors friends in Platte county and they are circulating the story that a former friend of the gov ernor, whose recommendations were turned down, was in a measure respon sible for the action of the convention. Chairman Dickinson, in one of his boyish communications in the Tribune, speaks of Carl Kramer as "ihe dis turbing element the ulcer in our party and we can never be in har mony until he is separated from the post office." Mr. Dickinson kuows, as does every man familiar with the effort that is now being made to discredit Mr. Kramer by a bunch of lawyers and secure his job for one of their number, that Mr. Kramer was a republican when the man who now assails him in public print was taking au active part in Platte county politics as the champion of ihe populist party and all that it claimed to 'Stand for. Mr. Kramer was working for repub lican principles and keeping up the organization of the party and fighting for its candidates when another mem ber of the Blackstone Ring was serv ing on the supreme bench of the state as the alleged representative of the Burlington railway. Carl Kramer was a consistent and loyal supporter of republican candidates when another one of the briefless bunch Boss Dick inson represents was riding pver the county beseeching republicans to vote against their party candidates and for the democratic nominees. It is such men as Carl Kramer that has kept the republican banner waving when Dick inson was seeking to tear it down. The attempt to besmirch the character of Mr. Kramer is resented by every fair minded republican in Platte county, and the job Mr. Dickinson has attempted to pull off as the represen tative of the Blackstone Ring will end ia a fizzle. When the republicans of Platte county fully realize that the inner circle of the county committee are attempting to use them for their own selfish ends there will be a revolt; in fact the revolt has already com menced. When Mr. Dickinson as sumes to dictate and boss every mem ber of the county committee and control their political acts, he ought to have sense enough to understand that there will be an emphatic protest. As chairman of the county committee, Mr. Dickinson ought to know that he was placed at the head of the com mittee to organize not disorganize; to build up not tear down; to treat all candidates for endorsement for posi tions in a courteous manner, even though the applicant may not be his personal choice. If republicans differ with him he should not attempt to bluff them into line by inviting them into the back room of his office and there deliberately charge them with having been bribed. The chairman of the county committee should be a gen tleman aa well as a man of political sagacity. If there is a "dis turbing element" or "ulcer in our party," it is not Mr. Kramer, but the chairman, who commenced his work of disorganization a week before the county, convention assembled by rush iagiato print and assailing those who do not agree with him. "Words," Mr. Dickinson, "have weight when .there k a man back of theav". Aad do- kot forget, Mr. Dickinson, -that "eaiBerience keeps a dear school, but foobV will learn in no other." THE NEW TARIFF LAW. The so called Payne tariff bill is now a law. Like all tariff measures it does not meet the approval of every republican or the .condemnation of every democrat In the framing of the measure more than half the democratic senators voted with eastern republican senators in retaining rates in the Dingley bill. Leading democratic senators denounc ed on the floor of the senate the tariff plankfin the Denver platform and voted to "protect" the products of industries in southern states. The last speech made on the democratic side in the tariff debate was by Sena tor Baily of Texas, who pleaded for a duty on hides, yet the Texas statesman claims to be a tariff "reformer." Although the President approved the bill, as the best he could get under the circumstances, it is no secret that he is not fully satisfied with the meas ure, but nevertheless he regards it as a sincere effort to make a downward revision. The democratic party, following its traditional policy, will denounce the measure and apologize for the twenty three democratic senators and forty or fifty members of the house from the southern states who allied themselves with the Aldrich republicans and voted against amendments offered by repre sentatives from western states for genuine tariff reform. TOM JOHNSON FAILS AGAIN. The people of Cleveland, Ohio, re cently voted down a proposition to insure three cent fates on a part of the street railways of that town. The three cent ordinance was fostered by Tom L. Johnson, who seems to be crazy on the subject. Johnson has wrecked his private fortune in fight ing the Cleveland street railway. He secured a test of the three cent plan, but it proved a failure. And uow the people have again de cided against him, Johnson. Why do some men go crazy hating street railway? In every big city in the couutry, there is a wild man fight ing the street railways iu the fiercest way and meanest way possible. Are not street railway investors entitled to reasonable compensation? In the case of Cleveland, we must conclude that Johnson was rabid and unreasonable, since the people have repeatedly decided against him. A test demonstrated that three cent fare is not enough. And Johnson has lost fame aud fortune in a foolish, unfair and unreasonable fight. A dispatch says that Johnson re ceived news of his defeat at home, "guarded by policemen." After all his "fighting for the people," he is guarded by policemen, to prevent per sonal injury! Tom Johnson's motives were no doubt good, when he started out, but during his long fight he has, in some way, became an impractical, meddle some, troublesome nuisance. No one is warranted in concluding that a ma jority of the people want to be robbed, or that they are dishonest, while Tom Johnson is right. Many other reformers finally be come as unreasonable, as meddlesome, as unpopular and troublesome as Tom Johnson. For a time he was a nation al figure; today he is discredited, and seldom heard of except in connection with defeat. Tom Johnson has demonstrated that a fight on a street railway company can be carried too far; that people become tired of a clamor that is untrue and un fair. We believe it is also true that the pure food experts are going so far as to disgust the people. The pure food men have become cranks, and insist upou regulations that are un importaut and troublesome. The an nouncement that travelers on railway trains cannot have drinking water un less they carry their own drinking cups, is silly, in the opinion of many people who known as much as the men who are cranks on public health. The reform stunt has been carried too far iu every direction. Atchison Globe. TARIFF COMMENT. Thus the women of the country who rose in vigorous protest against the advances that were promised iu gloves and hosiery have' won half their bat tle. Whatever may be thought of the new tariff as a whole or as to particular provisions, there is reasou to rejoice that it has been completed and that after these long weary months the peo ple will at last' know where they stand. The country can adapt itself to almost any tariff conditions, but un certainty and suspense are almost ruinous. New York Herald. The benefits of tariff reduction, if any, will come through somewhat bet ter conditions for great industries, in creasing their" demand for labor and thus making more work- and more wages.- The immediate benefit of the tariff settlement is that it gives cer tainty, and frees the people from un certainty, to go forward with confiden ce to take prosperity as it comes. Chicago Inter Ocean. The president has evidently accept ed the wool and cotton schedules, not because he likes them, but because he can get nothing better. He may be blamed for them. But no tariff bill was ever just right, and none ever will be. The president has obtained a bill which, is certainly more a revision downward than a revision upward. He has blocked certain determined raids on the pocket of the consumer. He deserves praise for that. He will get it; and the prosperity which is bound to follow the settlement of the question will be imputed to him. New "York Mail. - , This is one' of the relatively few cases in which results can be reduced directly to figures and estimated in their effect on the pockets, of consum ers. We may benefit indirectly by a reduction In the duty' on anchors and iodoform, on pig lead and sulphate of ammonia, but the gain is not percepti ble through the medium of the house hold expense book. New York Sun. John J. Sullivan, the only non-partisan democrat in NebrasKa; will be a candidate for supreme judge. With such men as Sullivan on the bench.no matter whether republican or demo crat, the supreme court is safe, but there are democratic candidates for the job who would be partisaus first and last and all the way along the line. Kearney Hub. EDITOR PAID FOR PRIVILEGE. Hired Reporter for One Day, That He Might Have Satisfaction of Firing Him. One of the oddest, quaintest charac ters that ever held the desk of man aging editor was H. T. White of Chi cago. Many people still consider Mr. White one of the greatest newspaper men that ever lived, but that doesn't count one way or the other when his uniqueness Is under discussion. There never was but one H. T. White, and it is an even bet that there will never be another. One afternoon when Mr. White was managing editor of the Daily News he strayed out into the local room and there found a cool, complacent young man roosting atop of a desk and puff ing an inferior cigarette. "Say, you useless, pop-eyed son of an obelisk," thundered Mr. White, "don't you see that sign, 'No smok ing?' " "Now that you remind me about it," said the young man, agreeably. "I think I do." "You think you do?" -roared the boss. "You know you do! Now, young man, whoever you may be, you go down to the cashier and tell him I said to give you whatever's coming to you? Then you get out! You're fired." The young man waved the cigarette in mild protest. "But, Mr. White," said he. "I'm not working here. I just came up to see if I could get a job." Mr. White, who was not personally acquainted with any of the ' minor lights of the local staff, was dum founded for an instant. Then he growled, savagely: "Well, then, you insolent, imperti nent, bat-freed baboon, you go to the city editor and tell him I said to put you to work. And to-morrow, you striped hyena of the Gobi desert, I'll have the satisfaction of firing you!" And he had it, while the young man got one day's pay. ARE MARVELS OF ENDURANCE East African Carriers Said to Make Light of Feats That Would Stag ger a Mule. A carrier costs about 10 cents a day in our money, with a few red bananas and green stuff thrown in for his food. One will "tote" a load of sixty pounds through a place where a Missouri mule would lie down in disgust, ac cording to a -writer in Putnam's. Tot ing here means a good many things. The packers will follow an elephant road, cut their way through flags and reedshigh above their heads, wade through black mud up to their necks, and when they "squat" the bundle from their heads It will be dry and clean. There are man toters in the cavavan. Mr. Roosevelt is a rather heavy weight, but the Baganda car riers have back muscles like iron that will hold hiin above the water un aided, for they are among the strong est men in the world, and "Ndulu" is the song in which they brag of their ability, to do "stunts" like this. If Kermit takes a snapshot of his father sitting on the shoulders of a toter, his legs astride his neck, it will probably not' be published, but this sort of thing is common enough in the swamps., Some, funny things go into those bundles. Not only food and clothing, dishes, bedding, even stoves, but they tie live goats and calves by their legs, curve them like links of the letter S and make a pack as snug as a blanket roll.

It Is often difficult to decide wheth er the most disagreeable people in the world 'are those who merely think they are our superiors or those who really are. ' Woman Suffrage Gladys "So you've sent Herbert about his business, have you?" May belle "Yes. But I have since used the er recall on him." PLAYING FOR BIG GAME Fame has uncovered a hitherto un known young man -who is playing a large part in the affairs of New York. From him came the opening of the fight on the revised building code, which Charles F. Murphy and Chief Daniel F. Cbbalan of Tammany went down to defeat. Thirty-three years ago there was born in the little town of Hamburg, Ark., an infant who was christened William F. McCoitfbs, jr. His moth er was of the Pugh family, kin to the Alabama senator.' It became essential in course of time for the youngster to learn something and they sent him over to Bellbuckle, Tenn., in the mid dle of the horse country, where the old Webb Academy had acquired a reputa tion for instilling "hoss" sense into pu pils. After that' start Mr. McCombs got to Princeton, where he was mem ber of the class ot '98. Then came a course in the Harvard. Law School from which he graduated in 1901., When the last "rah rah" had lost its echo and the class of '01 was a mem ory, the young man sat down to pick out a place to earn a living. "I'll take the biggest on the map," he said, and he packed his few belong ings aud headed fur New York. He had to make a fetart aud make it iu a hurry. He got a place in a big firm. Then along came a lot of theew York baukers who were planing to put 200 million dollars into the construction of the New York, Westchester it Bos ton Railway. Two concerns had franchises and the question that vexed the financiers was whether or not the franchise of the company they thought of backing would stick. The firm turued the matter over to the new man. He wrote the opinion .sustain ing the validity of the fraucliise. The firm sent it to William B. Horublower, John G. Jackson aud Governor Hugh es. These eminent lawyers put the stamp of their approval upon the initi al work of the new law aid aud the bankers put iu the money. Later, when attacked iu court, the court of appeals sustained the tint job of the uiau who picked the big game fur his own. Then McCombs got to thinking that if he could turn that sort of a trick on a salary, he could do the same thing for himself. The mure he thought of the matter the better it looked to him. Right here came the making of the man. With no money and without a client, he opened an office in the Wall Street district, still playing for big game and setting his sights high. He got a stock exchange house for a client, and then a corporation. Others came to his net, and he soon found himself at the head of an office with a force of men working up his cases, just as he would have done had he stayed in the old place on a salary. Among these clients came the Roch ling Construction Company, and at- r tached to this employment came his opportunitv. Here is how he viewed it: "I come into the fight on the Burld ing Code as the attorney for the Roeb ling Company. Before two weeks had passed I realized that the matter was a bigger one than my private employ ment, and that it was too far reaching to be regarded in the light of a.private corporation's matter. "In the city of New York 250 mil DANCING THE K0L0 PART OF NATIONAL FESTIVAL OF MONTENEGRO. Effect Is Said by Witness to Be Fine Stern Fighting Men Occasional Iy Find Leisure for the Pastime. The national dance of Montenegro is the kolo, somewhat similar to the horo of Bulgaria. Both sexes tak6 part, crossing hands and forming an unjoined circle. The music they sup ply themselves, each end of the horn alternately singing a verse in honot of the prince and his warlike deeds. The kolo is always danced at any great national festival, and the effect of the sonorous voices and swaying ring is very fine. Then there is an other dance performed by four or five, usually youths, to the acompaniment of a fiddle, the leader setting a lot of intricate quick steps which the rest imitate at once. It is really a sort of jig and makes the spectator's head swim if he watches it for long. "I never saw any dances in north ern Albania," says a writer in The Wide World, "though certain Slav ar tists love to depict wonderful sword dances, with beauteous maidens sway ing gracefully after the style of nautch girls. .A casual observer who has seen the Albanians come into Monten egrin markets or to their great week-, ly gathering in the bazar of Scutari could never picture these stern men dancing or at play.- "They never smile and they look the life they they lead, each clan evei ready for war with its neighbor and absolutely pitiless in the vendetta When fighting the Turks the Monten egrins evince a heroism and uttei lion dollars goes into new buildings every year This coda proposed to make the superintendent of buildings the supreme authority as to what materials, what elevators and what equipment shoald be used. Where his opinion differed from the code, the code was superseded. It thus was pro posed to make it possible for a single head in each borough to ruin any one line of industry that raised its head ami to make millionaries among such favored persons as might be designated to receive his approval. "Tammany had allied its forces. We could not get the other people engaged in building work to join in the fight be cause they feared if they did the poli tical organization would wipe them out of business and that tbey would never have another contract in the city. So we went it alone. I realized that it was a matter that the public must take up and understand if the fight succeeded. The newspaper be gan to grasp the full &igii'ficance of the thing and joined in the attacks. The papers won the fight" But of the hundreds of persons in terested in the municipal contest, few, very few, knew the spare, thin, young man, whose gray hair fell carelessly over a broad forehead, whose steel eyes penetrated everything iu sight, whose mobile mouth miltl as he plunged the knife into Tammany, and who was the silent, never-sleeping power behind the fight The figure was McCombs. But when tin mayor had come scurrying back from his vacation to kill the code, the limelight began to turn McCouili'ss way. It developed that he was ihe Mime young man who had shown "Big Bill" Edwards how to catch tin sunn graftr.-, aud how to go after the dump graders. Haud in hand he woiktrd with "Big Bill," and the result ia nell ku-.wn. "I just helped Bill," is the way Mr. McCombd put it when asked about the fight "I was his counsel without a tee." Feeless he had prosecuted that grail fight, aud his interest iu civic matters led him to turu his private employ ment by the Koebliugs into a public fight when he ot the chance. He doesn't' care much for money, any way. "I got interested in that code, out side of my employment," he said. "Do you know that I found 182 in stances in the code in which the super intendent of buildings was mentioned, and if that code had gone through there would have been a czar in every borough who would have done what his'political leaders said, and he would have held every building in New York in his grasp completely. Any other city except New York would have gone wild when it found that fact out." It is in his feeless work that Mr. McCombs has done his chief service. He is secretary of the Princeton Club and he evolved the scheme of forming a "Committee of Opportunities." It is the business of this committee to keep a card index of every job open to a young man, chiefly'' in places where old graduates of Princeton are heads of establishments. The com mittee stands as a connecting link be tween the gray-headed alumnus and the youth who is trying to make a start. From the New York World. fearlessness that is remarkable. The strongest men carry bombs or rather hand grenades things the Turkish soldier particularly abominates. "I was told once how a certain man whom I knew well saved his band from destruction. They were fairlv cornered, and the Turks closing in, when the bomb thrower stood .up amid the hail of bullets, lit the fuse with his cigarette and rushed toward the soldiers, who seeing his intention promptly made tracks. "It was of course lucky that the Mo hammedan soldier, who does not much mind being sent to Paradise with a bullet, thinks his chance of eternal bliss very doubtful if he is blown up with dynamite. The nerve required tc be a bomb thrower is worthy of a lit tie reflection. He must absolutely ex pose himself, and as the fuse is very short the ignition must be coolly con sldered. "If premature it means the destruc tion of himself and comrades, and when it is fairly alight the bomb must be thrown with mathematical exact! tude. In other words, the man must leave his cover and charge an over whelming force alone and not throw till he Is close up to it." Heavy Sentence. "I have decided to suspend your sentence," the judge began. "For the Lord's sake, judge, you don't mean to say lifting a few chickens ia a hanging matter!" A Speedy Substitute. "I would love, if only once, to have a swell luncheon." "Why not try one of dried apples and water?" Balti more American. Deing Their Best.
