A VERMONT woman offers to run for vice president on the ticket with Dewey. That is very kind of her but it is under­ stood that Dewey himself already occu­ pies that office, in his own household. ACCORDING to the estimates of the British war office the affair in South Africa is going to cost an aggregate of something like $300,000,000. When the war began the English estimated that it would cost $50,000,000. The Boer is at least six times what the British thought he was. THE Cherokee nation of 40,000 is about to disappear, as a result of an agree­ ment signed recently "by the chiefs of the tribe. The territory now occupied by the Cherokees will be thrown open at once to white settlement. It has 50,000, 000 acres. This is the beginning of the end of Indian territory. THE NEW YORK PRESS says that a New Jersey man courted a girl for twenty years and wrote her a bushel of letters and then refused to marry her. But this doesn't compare with the Kansas man who courted, won and mar­ ried a girl, all in the same day, by wire; wrote her a carload of letters in the next few weeks, then applied for a divorce, asked for a return of the letters and refused to pay the freight IT is easy enough to see faults in others and jump on them, but it is quite another matter to be beyond criticism ourselves. What we read about casting the first stone will fit into all our' lives, and if the principle is given a little con­ sideration it will make us all better men and women. Sometimes in abusing others we overreach ourselves and our own selfish ends are injured. capitalists forced the laboring men to organize for protection; and now organ­ ized they find that they have a wonder­ ful power. This would be all right if the power vested in the labor unions was not abused, but unscrupulous leaders are using the labor organizations as a means by which their pockets are being given a golden lining, while the ordinary workman, his wife and child­ ren want for food and clothing. It is hard to guess what the result will be. FOR VICE PRESIDENT--CULLOM. Candidates for the vice presidency are coy. Like wary fish, that come and size up the bait and swim away, prom­ inent statesmen will have none of it.' It has proven a political grave yard to many a talented and ambitious man. It is said that McKinley wants Alli­ son as his running mate; and, in many respects the combination would be a strong one and entirely acceptable to re­ publicans everywhere. But would it be a wise nomination. Would it add to the probability of party Success? The republicans to be successful this fall must carry the two empire states- New York and Illinois. McKinley is from the middle west, the vice presiden­ tial candidate should be either from New England, New York, or, possibly, Illinois. The addition of Stevenson, though confessedly a weak man, contri­ buted to the success of the Cleveland ticket. History repeats itself. Illinois through the unpopularity of Tenner's wise and business-like administration" is placed among the doubtful states. To remove this doubt and continue it republican it might be wise to choose a vice presidential candidate from Illinois, and Illinois can furnish the man just suited in every way for the position. We have reference to the Hon. Shelby M. Cullom. While yet strong and vigor­ ous, his faculties unimpared, he has reached that ripe age where the objec­ tions to taking the place have no weight. Indeed, we can recall to mind no man better fitted by temperment, education, long service in public life to fill the high office than he. Four years as the pre­ siding officer over the body he has so long been a member and where he is de­ servedly popular would be a fitting close of his public career. We believe that his nomination would not only be acceptable to New York and the east, but would be certain of in­ dorsement in the west besides being very complimentary to Illinois. ?

The new 3-cent piece is order­ ed to be made of nickel, the size of the bronze cent, only thicker. In the center is a hole one fourth of an inch in diam­ eter. This will make the coin easily distinguishable by sight or touch. It will be some time, however, before thin 'new coin will be in circulation. IT will be prudent for those who expect to attend the Republican state convention to make arrangements in advance for admission to the conven­ tion hall.

A STEAMSHIP carrying 13,000 tons of musical instruments and farm and other machinery has just left New York for Melbourne, Australia, and another, with 10,000 tons, will soon fol­ low. The fact is a pleasing exhibit of the growth of our foreign commerce, and a less pleasing one of the way facilities *<or it are lagging in development. The rtfete around the peninsula of South America is, approximately, 14,000 miles in length and includes the delays and perils of stormy Cape Horn. If the vessel could pass through an isthmian canal it would save about 4,000 miles in distance and avoid all the dangers of the cape. THE unhealthy condition of affairs between capital and labor is a disgrace to the country. K it continues it will kill Chicago and other large cities as manufacturing centers. The labor unions, as managed today, are the worst kind of trusts. The laboring men are po blame, however. The . * * McVickers Theatre. Success of the most pronounced type has met Otis Skinner's production of "Prince Otto" at McVickers Theatre, Chicago, where the star and play will remain until after the middle of May. The eagerness of the public to see the favorite star would -warrant a run of many more weeks but Manager Jacob Litt having booked "Hearts Are Trumps" for a summer run Mr. Skin­ ner will give up the theatre about May 20 to allow the stage carpenters time to get ready for the big effects in the English play. The universal com­ mendation of "Prince Otto" and the production given it by Mr. Skinner has been one of the features of the spring season. This general praise is all earned by the splendid settings, the admirable company and the beautiful play. In dramatizing Stevenson's delicious ro­ mance of tfye same name Mr. Skinner has struck at the core of beauty in giv ing the tender sides of both Otto's and Seraphina's natures prominence. "All the world loves a lover" and in "Prince Otto" there is abundance of opportunity to bestow this love. Then this delight­ ful, fairy-like theme of hearts which runs through the play has the advantage of being placed against a background of singular beauty. Everybody who has seen the play has raved over the scenery. In all five scenes are shown, three of them being palace interiors; another the living room of a German peasant's home and the fifth an apartment in a royal prison. Mr. Skinner is reaping the reward of a well-earned success. "Hearts Are Trumps" which will follow "Prince Otto" at McVicker'sis the biggest thing yet shown in melo­ drama. It has run thxee months in New York and is still packing the Garden Theatre there. It is so full of sensational episodes and carries the spectators with such a sweep through the story nothing like it has been seen One of the scenes shows an Alpine avalanche; another a London Music Hall during a performance and a third one of the Royal exhibitions at the Art galleries, The play will probably run all snmmer.
