what the Rhine would be without them.
They make it picturesque.
After leaving Cologne the tint place
of consequence is Bonn; one of the early
Roman fortresses, but noted most for
its university. It is also the birthplace
of Beethoven. Away to tho east are
seen the Siebengebirdge seven moun
tains and soon we pass Mt. Drachenfels
on whose summit stands a castle built
by the Archbishop of Cologne. The
ivy clad tower of Ochenfels and the
wooded hills near Lenbsdorf fade from
view as tho several round towers of
Arenfels appear, and to the right the
tall spire of the church in the village
of Rheinbrohl calls to the eye a charm
ing spot. Passing Rheinech castle we
come to tho village of Engers where
Ceasar crossed the Rhine. And bo we
glide along amid bewitching scenes by
the castles of Stolzentels, Lahneck and
the Konigsstuhl erected by Emperor
Charles IV in 1376.
On an isolated peak stands the square
castle of Marksburg; the only castle on
the Rhine that has never been destroy
ed. Beyond, to the right, is a most ex
tensive castle ruin, Rheinfels; a mag
niecent sight. As we pass, all Americans
on the steamer give three long and loud
cheers for there, floating in the breeze
from a tall pole are the "Stars and
Stripes."
The eye never tires of these ruined
walls overlooking the Rhine, and the
little villages with the tall church spires,
nestling here and there along the steep
banks afford a variety of sights and
scenes ever pleasing in memory. It is
with a sigh of regret that we leave the
steamer at Bingen, "fair Bingen on the
Rhine," and climb the hill to the town.
We are just thinking of the view of
Rheinstein castle and the Legend of
Mouse Tower where Bishop Hat to
sought refuge from an army of mice.
But the story goes they swam the river
and filled all the compartments of the
town and finally ate the Bishop till he
was no more.
Across from Bingen on a high emi
nence is the German National monu
ment which tills the heart of every
loyal German with pride; the country
around is a great vineyard. From
Bingen we go by rail to Heidelberg.
POINTS IN POLITICS.
Elmer E. Spencer, who used to be one
of the leading young republicans of
the Fifth ward, is now a resident of the
Second ward where he is just now,
developing his candidacy for county
judge. The Second has one other pro
minent candidate in the person of Jim
Caldwell who wants a place on the dis
trict bench, and just how matters will
be settled between these candidates is
not plain as yet. Mr. Spencer has
made an excellent record as justice of
the peace. He possesses qualifications
that fit him for the office of county
judge. He has the ability and he
attends to business.
aence of the bar, and as a citizen, as an
upright, clean man, his reputation is of
the highest. He has a distinct claim
on the party in that he has for years
rendered loyal service in all campaigns.
And his work has counted. Ho was
chairman of the county central com
mittee a year ago, when somo particular
ly effective work was done, and ho was
one of tho most active workers in tbo
late city campaign.
A. W. Scott, of the Sixth ward, is
popularly supposed to be in prime con
dition for the little set-to over the dis
trict court judgeships that will shortly
take place. Mr. Scott is strongly en
trenched in his own ward, and should
his name be presented to the convention,
as it certainly will be, he will stand a
pretty good shor to be nominated, Mr.
Scott as a lawyer possesses the conti-
iNC0iH PMM
The Sixth ward has other candidates,
all of whom have been mentioned in
these columns. John B. Cunningham's
candidacy for county judge will pro
bably not conflict with Scott. John M.
Stewart is regarded as a candidate for
district judge, and Kelley and Hunger
are applicants for tho office of sheriff.
It has been the custom in this county
to give the superintendent of public in
struction three terms. Mr. McClusky
Berved three terms and a little over, and
his predecessor was also elected three
times. Consequently Mr. Baer's candi
dacy at the present time is in line with
precedent. The county school system
has never been in a more satisfactory
condition than now. Indeed, it is
doubtful if the present standard was
ever before attained. Nothing but the
warmest commendation of Mr. Baer's
work is heard, and the indications are
that he will be placed on the ticket
without serious opposition.
It is singular that the county hasn't
more candidates for sheriff inasmuch as
the conditions are favorable for the
nomination of somebody outside of town
for this office. Alva Smith's candidacy
isn't taken seriously.
There is considerable speculation as
to how the three candidates for district
judge will be selected by tho republican
convention. If they are chosen without
reference to ward boundaries and ward
politics the situation, so far as candi
dates for other offices are concerned,
will bo simplified wonderfully. The
other candidates are generally in favor
of taking the selection of these nominees
out of politics.
Three canuidates for judge, three can
didates for justice of the peace, the
candidates for county treasurer, clerk
of tho district court, county judge,
county commissioner, superintendent
of public instruction will, in all proba
bility be chosen from the city, by the
republican convention. This leaves the
nominations for sheriff and county
clerk for the convention to fight for.
