It was the Republican party which sold the McKinley ‘pit to the mannfacturers. It was the Republican party which re- sponded with the Dingley bill to the colossal campaign donations of favored interests. It was the Republican party which introduced the practice of blackmailing the privileged few for the purpose of cor- xupting or overpowering the plundered many, To reach this particular form of political iniquity publicity was about all that was necessary, and it is publicity which most of the leaders of the Republican party have resisted, many of them openly and defiantly and many of them secretly or evasively. We have a promise that there will be a publication of some sort after the elec- tion, but it is plain enough that such a showing will be wholly inef- fective, for it will be too late Republicans as well as Democrats have urged genuine publicit) and the Democratic party, in revealing the sources of its financia supplies, has met the issue squarely, but the real offender, the one that originated the abuse and profited by it, has not been moved as How Does THIS STRIKE yet. To what predatory interests is the Republican party mort- gaged this year? Perhaps we shall know all about it—after the election. ++ TUGGING AT THE LEASH. Let us contemplate for a moment the situation of that unhappy occupant of the White House whose impulses lead him to yearn for the hustings, but who, terrorized by Propriety for once in his life, must gccupy his mirid with fierce and gory imaginings of the chase in ‘Africa. Many a tiger, a lion, a hippopotamus, an elephani, has he slain in his dreams and many a hand-to-hand conflict has he had with strange monsters of the jungle. But if it could be so, if Precedent and Decorum were not in the way, he would experience more joy in eracking one Democrat over the head than will come to him next spring in the Dark Continent when he has a whole menagerie dead at his feet. Can Propriety, Precedent and Decorum hold him two weeks longer? Probably not. 4 +-—______ CHANLER’S SUPERIOR TONE. Something more than a good opinion of one’s self is desirable in 8 candidate for important office. Mr. Chanler has no doubt of his own ability and purposes, and his self-appreciation is such that he i exceedingly sensitive to criticism or advice. “Here I am,” he says, in effect; “take me or leave me. If you do not believe I will be a good Governor do not vote for me.” ‘There is in all this a good deal of what the litterateurs call “aloofness.” Furthermore, it is to be feared that there is just a dash of condescension.

Great Love Stories of History By Albert Payson Terhune NO, 50-ALEXANDER AND DRAGA OF SERVIA, HIS is a story whose chief events are still well remembered: the tragle Fl romance of a depraved Balkan King and the ambitious daughter of a Servian cattle dealer Servia is a little country on the Balkan Peninsula, Once it belonged to Turkey. Since winning freedom it has been jealously watched by Austria and Russia, It isa “buffer” state, from a political point of view, and ts in habited by erude, primitive, semi-Oriental people. Its history for the past century has been of a comic opera sort, interspersed here and there with horrible tragedies. Nearly every ruler has been murdered or deposed. In 1869 King Milan came to the throne of Servia. He descended from + peasant and was one of the m ssolute men in Europe. He governed abominably, and maltreated his Queen, Natalie. Alexander, who next was pr med King, was brave and of powerful build, but he was as wicked as his father and far more ignorant. When he was little more than fourteen he fell under the Influence of Draga Maschin, a beautiful and fascinating woman who was double his own age and only two years younger than his own mother, Draga had begun life with small prospects but boundless am- bition, Her father was a cattle dealer named Lunjevitza. When the girl Was seventeen she married Col. Maschin, of the Servian Army, Next, she managed to win the favor of Queen Natalie and became one of her ladies- {n-waiting. That was how Draga happened to meet Alexander.
