Greenway, superintendent ef the Canisteo mines at Bovey, and who was with the famous Rough Riders at San Juan hill. left the first of the week on his way to Washing- ton, where he will join the presi- dential party for a tour of the south- ern states, at the invitation of the president. Quite a friendship sprang up between the president and Mr. Greenway during the war, and they have many tastes in common, both being very fond of outdoor life and athletics. Mr. Greenway playea on the Yale football team durjng his four yeats at college. He went to Ishpem)ng, Mich., immediately after the war with Spain and was assist- ant general superintendent of the Oliver mlnes in that district for some time, but was receutly promoted toa position of greater responsibility at Bovey, where he is superintendent of the Oliver Mining company interests. Sensible Partisanship. The people of greater New York are going to elect a district attorney next month. and the fight on that office will in many respects prove to be much more diverting than that for the more conspicuous thovgh not more important office of may or, , The interest in the fight will hinge Jargely upon the fact that itis a test of how strongly the fashionable sort of independence in’ municipal politics prevails in New York.

These things show how litile the| @ average voter of today is heeding} % national parties and national issues in ngunicipal elections, or even, m many cases, in state elections, It was always true that federal politics had about as much to do with electing a mayor of Philadelphia or a district at- torney of New York as it had with choosing a general manager for a wholesale dry goods house, but it was not until lately that voters became able to throw off their party prejudices and vote for the best men, for the men that they thought would do the best for their communities regardless sof what their ideas were about how the government at Washington should be conducted. This is leading, very swiftly, to a complete breaking down of party hnes in municipal elections. Men will still continue to run as republfcan or demo- cratic candidates, for conyenience’s sake, or they may run on personal platforms and without party designa- tion. But the governing of munnci- palities has come'to be recognized as a business, which politics only con- fuses and disarranges and corrupts. It 1s no longer considered significant of the disposincn of a erty toward national issues that the candidate of this party or that should be elected mayor, because it is recognized that mayors and district:attorneys and city and county and often state officers are being elected because the people think they ought to be and not because they belong to one party or the other, All municipal corruption grew up under the old fashion of running municipal campaigns on federal issues. sincere gratitude to the many friends The'new fashion of :unning them on /common sense business lines will lead to different results, and will continue to root out the grafters as it is doing now.—Duluth Herald. A Car for Drunkards. The most effective rebuke to drunken} men hes in the refusal of sober per— sons to associate with them. The last man in the world to wil- | lingly align himself with his own class ys the drunkard. te The worst-seasoned criminal may | be proud of his vicious associations and boast of Ins enminal achieve- ments. Harlots congenially herd to- gether, But the drunkard is ashamed of his own class. He will not be classified as a drunkard if he can help it. If he can help it by no other means he may even go to the extreme of ceasing to get drunk. Railroads running out of London have put on a series of trains known as drunkards’ expresses, in which in- toxicated persons are. carried, to the great rehef of the traveling public generally, and also to the greater con- venience and safety of the drunkards themselves, But the drunkard does not like to be herded and labeled, and 1t 1s said that men who vsed to go home drunk every night now dodge the obnoxious classification by going home sober. On every railroad where drunken men ride the special car should be provided for them. I: is but proper protection to decent persons who wish and have a right to nde an peace. ‘Fhe drunkard’s car wouid never be crowded. Men will remain sober rather than be cut off from decent, order-loving persons and thrust in with’ drunkards. i For even the drunken man detests and loathes a drunkard.—St. Paul News. ~ Card of Thanks.

Sousa was once conducting a con- cert, and was so engrossed in extract- ing from his organization the sweet, soft notes of an oriental love song. A loud and prolonged blast came from a steamboat on the Alleghany river. Instantly the director's baton was di- rected foward the disturbing whistle, as thought he would have a more dul- cet tone from the offender. Instead he received a more deafening resporse from the huge steam whistle. The disgusted conductor now turmed to ward his musicians, and, with a tio- lent waving of his arms, brought forth such 2 roar from the drums and brasses that if there was any further demonstration on the part of the { H steamboat it was not heard in the e 2 9 music hall. k At the conclusion of the concert | Corner Kindred Ave, and Third St. Sausa said to one of the directors: “Fhe only way to overcome that steamboat’s blow is to meet it with a more powerful one.” | The Star Clothing Store : Lieberman Bros., Props.
