Authorities are agreeing upon the point that while President Roosevelt's action in regard to Russia's treatment of the Jews is right as an Individual, yet it is wrong as a president- In all probability time will show that it is right, as both.

Mr. Booscvelt has a habit of knocking aside time-worn customs and Inaugurating surprises, and so far, ho has had the satisfaction of. being right.

Ga Total for Juno 18. KINO PETER'S DREAMS. The latest king of Servla has taken the oath and is now the head of the nation. As he left the hall of legislators he rode off on the white horse that had been ridden by his predeces- scor, who was so foully assassinated. He did not seem to have the least su perstition that the passions of men who had killed a king and queen only a few short days ago might some day be turned against him.

It is not recorded that the horse knew any difference in the rider. It probably pranced along amid the cheering, thinking that everything was all right. This is a way that horses and dogs have of doing. They are mostly honest when they have anything to do with men. But man to man is not as honest as the animals are.

This new king knows how the vacancy was made for him. and the probabilities are that he was privy to the plot before it was consummated. There is a proverb in this country that the man who takes to the gun dies by the gun. It refers mostly to desperadoes The men who killed King Alexander and his queen may call themselves patriots, but they were just in the same class as the western bad man. It is hardly likely that there was not one person in Servia who had been befriended by Alexander, and the chances are that this friend will try to do to the new king what was done for his predecessor.

King Peter shows no fear, but he will have some uneasy times at night when he rolls over and wonders if he has been successful, or if there arc assassins trying to get through the cordon of his palace guard. Sage of The Age Hughie's Soliloquy. Aye, what's in a name? Sheriff, under any other name Would be as sweet. Woeful misnomer-- Leaveugood! Good? I wot not so And may Gambrinus drown us In a shower of malt If popular acclaim hath it not Bad or e'en worse Leaven? Forsooth a scant dozen And the veriest knave Or varlet yet may have as much. Mayhap, though, most propitious Have been the gods in their Choosing.

Leaven is at best but Sour dough, and perchance 'Tis that, will be the cake of Leavcngood. Dough, naught but dull, dead and waxy dough, To be done though, well done-In truth, done brown-Which is to say, "done" by Hamilton Browning. Hence, let us smile again And be of good cheer and Light heart Gay, festive, and Not soggy, like Unleavened bread. Sweet and welcome is revenge, And it cometh for the waiting thereof. Beat the cymbals and drink deep Of the ambrosia of the wassail cup, For, drench me with a garden hose, If I do not think and hope and pray That he who occupies the chair Of the most august sheriff May be he not of mine own ilk, But of the camp of friend McConnell-- Hail!

4 In a Glass House While the Democratic press is pointing to the postofflce scandal as a Republican affair, and an evidence of Republican incompetency, it is well to remember that August Machen was, up to the McKinley era, one of the most uncompromising of Democrats, a rank free traer and an avowed enemy of Republican principles. He was graduated from the Toledo postofflce where he drew a salary from Uncle Sam during the administration of Postmaster Lorenz, who was also indicted a few days ago. Like Machen, Lorenz was a Democrat and held office in this city as a Democrat. Machen secured an appointment under Cleveland because of a family pull, there being a remote relationship, and it was only after President McKinley's election that he experienced a change of heart. Of course, the retention of his job was no inducement.

Former Congressman Driggs, who was indicted in Brooklyn Thursday, is also a Democrat and when the probe lias completed its work, it will develop that the Democratic press dwells in a very ordinary glass Blade.

It is a graphic picture of the death scene of old-Bitting Bull, the famous Sioux warrior. scene is carved in wood by Prof. Ebersole of Ravena, the man who carved the magnificent funeral car that bore President McKinley to his tomb.

It is a masterpiece of work, and is attracting a great deal of attention, and big crowds to the Ransom store. Sitting Bull took an active part in the battle known as Custer's last fight, June 5, 1876. George E. Custer with a gallant cavalry group dashed into a large army of warriors and 'was massacred and mangled, leaving but one man escape to tell of one of the most thrilling and tragic battles in the history of Indian" warfare. Curley, Custer's scout managed to get away by wrapping a robe about his body and disguising himself as an Indian.

After this battle Sitting Bull went into Canada and returned, making a tour through the states, accumulating considerable money by selling his autograph to the crowds that assembled to see him. For a few years there was no omen of trouble in the western territories, but the infamous and dishonest methods practiced by the grafters employed by the government on the Indian bureau and the discovery of gold are the two factors which began to work the Indians into a preparation for Sitting Bull head of the most powerful and warlike tribe, was at once singled out as a conspicuous and dangerous leader for the whites to cope with. By various means he induced other tribes to join him and within the years 189091 several minor engagements occurred. While camped on the Cheyenne river reserve strategy was employed to delude the chief, and he was murdered, although some histories dignify the crime by claiming he was killed while resisting arrest. Universal sentiment concedes that it was only a ruse to dispose of the Sioux leader and confuse their plans.
