From “Grover Cleveland & Public Man,” by St. Clair McKelway, tn the American Review of Reviews for August. Mr. Cleveland, first among any American Presidents, made the Mon- roe doctrine, as 1t {8 called, a fact allve, to be recognized as a fact, though not ofticlally, by the govern- ment of Great Britain. Offictally mattered little, Actually, factually, mattered much. The long coquetry between Amertcan administrations and British administrations had only comprised the playful throwing of grass and disclaimers. President Cleveland forced a recourse to arbi tration by Great Britain and Vene zuela, by which the power, the right, and the recognition of the United States asa third party, in high and equal interest, were regarded. The territorial integrity and Jmmunity of this continent were assured. The fact of this republic, as the predomi- nant partner among and over other American governments, was impress- ed, and while not officially admitted has always unofficially been admit- ted. From that hae flowed the Pan- American alliance, with all its com- plimentary, diplomatic, sentimental and spectacular consequences, She Likes Good Things. Mrs. Chas. E.

We Knew It Was Coming. The Commoner, James W. Van Cleave of St Louis has declared tn favor of the Republi can ticket, At the begtoning of every campalgn Mr. James W. Van Cleave rushes into the Itmelight and pledges to the Republean managers his “de- voted and unswerving support.” The fact that Mr. Van-Cleave ts a Republican politician who, as prest- .| dent of the Manufacturer’s Associa. tion, habitually supports the Repub. lican ticket, does not prevent this gentleman from giving the public to understand—tn a four page circular —that he intends “to bury Bryan and Bryaniem under such an ava lanche of votes tn 1908 that the work willnos have to bedone over agafn in 1912 or ever.” In that event Mr. James W.

The trouble was caused by the long étanding enmity between the Taylors and the Blantons, which dated back several generations, and the school trustees election in Har- lan county furnished the means for the feud to break out afresh, and when tt was over either the Blantons or the Taylors will be exterminated, The Blantons run a candidate for trustee and the Taylors also had ae candidate. At the election there were several breaks but no shooting. The Blantons and the Taylors sad some of thelr relatives met as the general store of W. F.
