We have too many elections, too
many registrations of voters, too
much political turmoil for the busy
man or the good of the country.
With Barnes conducting the
Washington postollice, there will
be a chronic local demand in
Washington for a cleaning out of
the Augean stables.
Divine Healer Shrader, who lied
from the earthquake, believes he
lost his family. It looks to us
that the family has merely lost the
healer and we congratulate it.
The Illinois banker who had his
throat cut by the servant girl will
probably know his place hereafter.
It is always foolish to trifle with
established domestic authority.
A New York artist has accepted
a commission to “do the president
in oil.” The public has already
been done in oil and now the pres
ident proposes to go right along
with the people.
Young Mr. Rockefeller asks us
to take his word for it that having
wealth does not mean having hap
piness. Guess we’ll have to take
his word for it. We have no per
sonal means of knowing
Judge Fite has been overwhelm
ingly defeated for congress. He is
the man who tried to race the
shoat over the newspapers in his
district. Others take warning.—
Thomasville Times-Enterprise.
“The people of California are
ready to help themselves,” says
one of the special writers. In view
of the reports from the relief de
partment and the appeal for more
money, we can readily believe it.
Hon. Tom Taggart predicts that
a democratic house will be elected
this fall. Let’s hope that for once
the Hon. Tom has his prophecy on
straight. A Democratic house is
needed to put the spurs to the Re
publican senate.
The Washington Post is con
ductiug a column to instruct peo
ple how to draw pensions. It looks
like an annual pension outlay of
$140,000,000 a year would indicate
that the people need no instruction
in that sort of drawing.
The strike of the bakers illus
trates the importance of girls learn
ing how to cook good bread. The
ability to get a pan of good bis
cuit out of an oven has the call on
ripping sonatas from a concert
grand whenever the bakers strike.

Mrs. Mary McKittrick, aged

home of her son, aged 80, at Un

THE PARADISE OF THE NEGRO
Washington City has the largest
negro population of any city in
the world. Next to it comes Bal
timore. In Baltimore, however,
less than one-fifth of the popula
tion is colored, w hile in Washing
ton negroes constitute one-third of
the population. Washington has
more meanly insolent negroes than
any other city, North or South.
Within ten days no less than live
w hite women in that city liavo
been assaulted by negro brutes,
and only one has been captured
The treatment of the negro in
Washington furnishes an object
lesson to those who would give
him free rein.
Nowhere else is there such toler
ation |of negro ofiensiveness as
there is in Washington.
Ever since the Civil War Wash
ington has been the happy hunt
ing ground of the negroes and they
have never ceased to gather there
as a city of refuge.
In Washington the negro has
his ow n way as he has nowhere
else, even in Philadelphia or Bos
ton. In the Northern cities the
policemen have no sympathy for
the negro, aud they keep him in
order. But in Washington he is
recognized as a government pet,
and the police force deals with him
very tenderly and also allows him
many privileges. The white in
habitants stand in awe of him and
give him the right of w r ay on the
sidewalks, and the negro driver of
ten seems especially happy when
he is trying to drive over a w T hite
man.
By the census of 1900 there were
no less than 48,000 negroes living
in Washington from beyond the
district lines. These negroes swarm
to Washington because they have
more liberty there than anywhere
else outside of Guinea. They get
Government offices, sit on juries
and those who do not feel like
working are supported by the wo
men of their own race, who hire
themselves as cooks and house
maids.
The son of General Sherman was
very angry, according to report,
because President Roosevelt “in
sulted” him by stopping his spec
tacular military “march to the
sea” over his father’s track. And
yet not a few of us thought at the
outset that it was the people of
Georgia who had been insulted.—
Savannah News.
The Atlanta Journal doesn’t
“take notice” of the Macon Tele
graph any more. Fact of the
business is, the Telegraph, in the
discussion of the issues that have
been sprung by the Journal and
its gubernatorial candidate in this
campaign, has literally worn the
Journal to a frazzle.—Albany

The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
rhere is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
vital organs or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can rr ‘ke no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer’s
Sw":_.p*Root, the great kidney, liver and
’*lad<s * smedy.
.t c inability io hold urine and scald
ig pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and th
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is sooi
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of ihe most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may
have a sample bottle of .

oovery and a bock that 1

BRIDE-TO-BE NEVER CAME.
Georgia Parson Paid S3O To Get Him
a Wife.
Washington, May 8. —Miss Lucile
Patterson and her pretty niece, Miss
Edna Kirk, both of Lewiston, Pa., are
charged with fraudulent use of the
mails.
By means of a matrimonial paper
the government secret service agents
say these women collected sums of
money from men all over the United
States who wanted wives.
In the very peaceful community of
Ashburn, Ga., the Rev. J. B. Dozier,
read that Mrs. Patterson was seeking
a loving husband, and he forthwith
wrote her.
Several letters were exchanged, the
clergyman proposed and was accepted.
The bride-to-he wrote asking for her
car fare from Lewistown to Georgia.
The pastor sent S3O, but the bride was
not forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr. Dozier grew nervous
and when his letters remained un
answered, he appealed to the postal
authorities at Washington.
Other men who had sent money and
received no bride as per agreement
also wanted explanations.
A large number of other victims to
the tune of from S2O to $35 each, have
complained to the postal authorities
of Mrs. Patterson’s matrimonial ne
gotiations. Miss Kirk is alleged to
be an accomplice.
Curious Belgian Competitions.
The Belgian artisan spends his leisure
in a very novel manner. He breeds a
special cock for crowing and that which
can outcrow its fellows lias reached
the highest pinnacle of perfection. The
modus operandi is to place the cages
containing the roosters in long rows,
for It appears that propinquity creates
the spirit of emulation, without which
the proceedings would fall Hat. A
marker appointed by the organizers of
the show is told off for each bird, his
duty being to note carefully the num
ber of crows for which it is responsible
in the same fashion as the laps are
recorded in a bicycle race. The cus
tomary duration of the match is one
hour, the winner being the cock which
scores the highest number of points in
the allotted timo

in America.

takes its course from hopper to tuns, and after aging, on to the bottling plant through pine m
mechanisms which thoroughly insure ils isolation and protection. Another invention necu- M
liar to our brewery makes and preserves the carbonic gas to be used in bottling. This adds B
immensely to the flavor. Finally, even the machine! y used for cleanliness is cleansed everv
day before using. These lavish precautions make American Queen the most ex
pensively brewed beer you can buy at the regular beer price. They enable us to
economize m many departments and return the saving into quality of ingredients.
Always call for American Queen wherever you drink beer. 1
