CZARS HOROSCOPE REVOLUTION I 18 AND DEATH BERLIN, June SO. German astrolo-gis- ts have been busily making forecasts of the esar'a future since the beginning of the Russian -- Japanese war. The majority of these prophecies predict a terrible doom for Nicholas IL An example of these horoscopes runs as follows: Nicholas II himself is a humane and peace-lovin- g monarch, but he cannot escape his fate. He Is doomed to a terrible end. The obstacles in the way of his life are lnsurmountabls This war is the beginning of the end of the esar. It is even a Question whether he will live to see the end of the war. Moreover it is doubtful whether the esar will be alive at the end of this year. Even if he has the good fortune to live so long, his throne will be threatened by a revolution, which will also put an end to his own ; FLORIDA DELEGATES TO ST.

This is the theory of the Iowa idea which was thrown bodily out of the Chicago convention by the trust bouncers and it is the deliberate conviction. of a majority of the Amer-lcapeople. The Chicago platform admits the possibility of conditions" becoming so bad that "the public Interest" may demand tariff revision, but it does not promise to abate one Jot or tittle of Dlngleyism. Its pronouncement on reciprocity is very much the same, this species of duty relief being promised when its accomplishment is consistent with the principles of protection to tfie trusts. The real love of the Republican managers for reciprocity is plainly evidenced by the big batch of McKinley reciprocity treaties smothered in the pigeon houes of the United States senate. What the Chicago platform boasts of having ($one for the army and! navy has been done in the mischievous spirit of Imperialism and militarism, which, at the bottom, may be We nothing worse than Jingoism. hope it is nothing- worse than that Wb set Cuba free. Yes, but would you have set Cuba free had not Senator Teller, Democrat, forced a resolution through the senate, along with the declaration of war on Spain, solemnly pledging the United States to act toward the struggling Cubans, after their liberation, in strict accordance with the spirit of the American Declaration of Independence and the. constitution of the United States? Did you set Porto Rico free? Is Porto Rico less capable of independent that her sister isle? The platform further boasts of having made the government of the Philippines "effective and strong in administration. It is doubtful if the Spaniards made it much stronger than the water cure, banishment to the Isle of Guam, the suppression of the American Declaration of Independence as seditious literature from circulation in the Islands, the denial of the right of Jury trial, and other oppressions including taxation without representation. The Chicago platform Jxmsts of having firmly established the gold standard. How long ago la it since it boasted of being the party of bimetallism? To tariff monopoly and financial monopoly the Republican party proposes to add other monopolies based on subsidies. Although afraid The poverty-pinche- Btand-patla- m rf - to say so in so many words, the platform comes out for Hannas ship sub sidy scheme. The pension subsidy is also indirectly Indorsed, although not a word is said about executive enactment of pension legislation. The south got a slap in the face in the shape of the Crumpackeriun threat to reduce its representation because of local suffrage laws. Per haps, a Republican congress will not undertake to overrule the United States supreme court in this connection. The Chicago platform does not mention the word trusts, and refers to them but vaguely and in most guard' ed terms, putting them on the same plane as combinations of labor or trade unions. It will be amusing to hear the party spellbinders refer to their plank. As for the Panama canal, it was . anti-tru- st only made possible by Democratic votes and Democratic influence. Of course, the Republican administration appropriates the credit for this truly national enterprise. There are some things concerning which the Chicago platform maintains an embarrassed silence. For exam pie, it says nothing about statehood for the territories, nothing about the bane of Mormonlsm. It says not word about the postofflee grafters or honesty In the public service. The silence here is very profound. It does not tell why Roosevelt did not butt into the Colorado mining region anar chy while praising his intervention in the anthracite troubles in Pennsylvania.

(From the Louisville The Courier-Journhas already had something to say regarding this reason for President Roosevelt's as offered ' in the platform upon which he has just been, nominated. "The confidence of the people in his justice, inspired by his public career, enabled him to render personally an Inestimable service to the country by bringing about a settlement of the coal strike which threatened such di sastrous results at the opening of the winter of 1902. It will be seen that Mr. Roosevelt, In the platform which admittedly was revised and approved by him, still insists that what he did in the coal strike he did personally, not officially. How he convince' himself, or expects to convince anybody else, that he could have done what he did If he had not been president, is past human Mr. Roosevelt is a comprehension. sane adult, and it is Inconceivable that any sane adult on earth believes that if Mr. Roosevelt had been a private citlsen he could have settled the coal strike, or even that any of the parties to it would have paid any attention to him when summoned by him to his presence to confer about a settleCourier-Journal- al ment But sticking to it that he settled the strike as a private citlsen and not as president why cite this settlement as a reason for his as president?

Is not this argument for his then, rather an argument for his return to private life, where he may continue to render such inestimable services, unhampered by his responsibilities as a public official? But if we are to accept his platform at its face value, and him president because he performed this service as a private citlsen, can we escape the conclusion that we are asked to him in order that he may continue to perform such services personally?

THURSDAY. JUNE 30. 1M4. II HIS LITTLE AS K FOR. The rat is an animal not appreciated for what be Is worth. The intelligence of rats is vouched for by'their desert Ing sinking ships, and they will also a mine when there is danger ahead. I once caught a rat in a trap leave Preferred everywhere for its Purity, Age and Healthfulness. Made only from the choicest hops and malt, by the most approved meth ods. The art of making GOOD BEER has reached perfeetion in the Pabst establishment by the foreleg, and I shall never get his expression, which plainly said: Tm caught. Do please release me." Niles Hickman, miner, kissed hir young wife and baby one morning and, going to the mine, was told there was trouble on the third level, and he was to go down and investigate. Entering the carriage, he was lowered to the required depth and walked along the gangway until he came to the entrance of a chamber. Going to the breast, ha was looking about him when suddenly, behind him, there was a deafening noise. A mass of rock had fallen and shut off egress from the chamber. Hickman had two things of value with him one a 'lunch can, the other his lamp. His first terror was that no air could enter the chamber, but there for- was a small stream running through It, and this reassured him. There was nothing to do but to wait till he was missed, and even then no one would know where to lo&k for him. However, there was nothing for it but to begin a patient wait for release or death, and, blowing out his light to save oil, he sat down despondently, with his head between his hands. Presently something ran over his foot Hickman lighted his lamp, and there before him was a rat looking at him as though delighted to see him. The living thing, though only a rat was companionable, and Hickman wished to keep it by him, so he picked it up, fondled it and gave it a bite from his lunch can. It occurred to hinj that possibly the rat might be made available In carrying a message. Taking from is pocket a bit of an old letter he wrote on it that he was imprisoned in Brintons chamber, on the third level, and, tearing a strip from his clothing, tied the message about the rats neck. Then he hunted about for a hole, but didnt find any, so he let the rat go its own way, and it went to a corner lying in shadow, where there was a hole, and disappeared. It was then that Hickman remembered that few people ever see a rat without killing It, and this took away from him expectation that his device would be effective. Still, the rat having been killed, the message tied to its neck might be noticed. The hours passed, and there was no change, only the darkness, not a sound. Hickman opened his lunch can and ate sparingly. Then he lighted his lamp and took out his awteh to note the time. It was 4 oclock. He had been imprisoned nearly ten hours. Putting out his lamp, he continued his waiting in darkness. He had only so much oil, and that might be necessary to save his life. His ears were constantly strained to hear some sound to indicate that his comrades were digging him out There was nothing to disturb the stillness. x For five hours longer he waited, then lit his lamp again and looked at his watch. It was 8 ocolck. Going to the wall, he put his ear against it There wag a sound of many picks, faint, but unmistakable. What did It mean? The mine was not being worked at night These picks must be worked for a special purpose. burning he saw his friend the rat looking up at him. In his Joy at seeing the creature he took it up to pet it and his finger became entangled in a thread. An end was tied about the rats neck, and the threat extended into the darkness. He followed it to the hole through which the rat had gone out and of course ha$ come in and began to pull on it gently. After pulling in more than a dozen yards of thread a string followed, which was Joined to twine. To the farther end of the twine was tied a dozen feet of lampwick, saturated with oil, and beyond this a roll of cotton cloth the shape of a bologna sausage containing food. There was also contained in the roll a note saying that the prisoner would be dug out, but that it would take ft long while to do it Never did mans heart go out to one of the brute creation as Hickman's went to this rat. Though to divide his provisions with it might endanger his life, he took out bread and meat and fed his little messenger. Then he put his ear again to the wall and listened to the music of the picks. Hickman had no knowledge of the volume that had fallen between him and the shaft and was not prepared for the slow advance his rescuers were making. Every few hours he would put his ear to the wall, but twenty-fohours passed without any appreciable increase In the sound. He kept his little preserver by him, dividing Pure J.
