SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM e L ROCKEFELLER’S POLITICS. After all, the feature of the cam- paign was reserved to the last. It was the effort of John D. Rockefeller to ally himself with one of the great parties, and the indignant denial of both parties of a refuge to the rich- est man in the world. This is interesting and somewhat amasing. But what sensation must it give Mr. Rockefeller! Here is the richest man in the world, the man who has given more millions to edu- cation than any one else on earth; the man who supports foreign mis- sions, home missions and important benevolent enterprises. Yet Mr. Rockefeller, the richest man in the world today, cannot announce how he is going to vote without causing consternation in two great parties. Itis sad, but true, that neither party can afford the luxury of Mr. Rocketeller’s support. He is a poli- cal pariah. His money has made him suspected. The letters of Archbold have put the capstone upon the monument to unpopularity and dis- trust which the Standard Oil com- pany has been raising.—Minneapolis Journal. CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G. Rutledge.] Carrying water on both shoulders is about as ticklish a proposition as carrying a chip on one. Some men are so wearisome in insisting that they accept every man as a brother that very few acknow- ledge the kinship. If you want to startle a man, take him to one side and ask him suddenly but earnestly: “Why do you wear your whiskers that way?”’ You will notice that when a man backslides he gauges his slide so that he can bump into a crowd when he begins to shoot repent- ance. Get 2 man ta tell you what a hard time he had when he was young and he will go around talking about what an entertaining conversation- alist you are. The trouble about changes in women’s fashions is that about the time you manage to think one fashion is pretty it is changed to one that is worse than ever.
