If set the south against the north. It
advocated a policy that has damaged

the wage earning interests in both sec-
films. It descended to the level of the
pro-English and antLAmcrican organs
that disgrace the American prcss of to-
dl); yet which were successful in the
campaign of 1892.
It is indeed gratifying to know,
though two years late, that The Sun
finds the idol which it shone upon in
£1892 to be more clay, dross or brass.

refertothe speeches and letters of

' sto do this in 1894. The documents
‘ {of 1886, of1888, of 1891, of April and
,5 July, 1892, were all at the disposal of
' The Sun as matters of, pub ic record
prior to November, i892. ’ The Sun knew
then, or should have known, the char-
acter of the man whom it wished to
elect to the high office of president and
that his teachings Were “the teachings
of the disturbers of society, and some-
times such teachings bear terrible fruit. ”
There can be no excuse whatever for
tjournal of the high standing of the
New York Sun for advocating such
teachings through its candidate. They
were un-Aiu‘erican and should have

George Washington hatchet story. It is
sent in with the assurance that it can be an-
thenticated it Senator Cullom denies it:
When he was a young man. before he
dreamed of listening senates or looked like
Lincoln, he was a farmer boy. One day in
August. when the blistering heat was
pushing the crops, and even the dog fennel
hung its head, young Cullen: was on the
porch of the lanahouse trying to keep cool
and kill flies. The boss 0! the term sat
on the tar end of the porch dosing. He was
aroused by a passing neighbor. who called
out to him that it drove of hogs had broken
into the watermelon patch back of the
barn. The watermelon crop was about all
that was left. The old farmer had had
some trouble with his hogs before, and this
information aroused his religious nature
and shattered it.
“Shelby!” he roared at the young man.
“Yes. sir,” was the respectful reply.
“Take the shotgun and godown to that
melon patch and shoot every d—d hog you M
find. I’m getting tired of this. They have
mined evarything on the farm. and now
they are into the melon patch. Hurry up."
The young man moved away, and the old
man resumed his seat and again fell asleep.
The city reader probably needs to be in-
formed that in the country, where there is
no such thing as cold storage, the killing 01
a hog in August or at any time in hot
weather is like throwing away money. In
those days particularly there was no way
of curing pork in summer.
An hour later young Shelby returned to
the house, put up the gun and resumed his
place on the porch. The old man, half
asleep, opened one-eye on him and asked in
a lazy manner:
“Well, kill ’em?”
“Killed seven, and two got awny,” was the
equally quiet response.
“What!” shricked the old man, jumping
from his chair and standing before young
Shelby in a rage. "You don’t mean to tell
me that you killed seven of them hogs—~my
Poland Chums—this time of your when they
are useless? You young saphcadl”
“Yes, sir." responded young Shelby, with
a meek obedience that reminds one of the
Washington hatchet story; “I did as you
told me, sir; only I let two get away.”
The old man looked at him he he would
at a curiosity. ll is rage quieted, and he sat
down on the floor of the porch and nursed
his head for some time. After awhile he
called out quietly: 4
"Shelby MA”
“Yes, sir,” was the response.
"Come here. You say you killed seven
of them shouts-in tho melon patch—seven
——shot ’l-ni-~klllell 'cm dead?"
“Killed ’un dend." responded Shelby.
The old mun looked at him, took 011‘ his
blg straw but. fanned himself for a mo
ment and than mid, with some solenm dc-
liberation:
“Well. Shelby .\l.,l wish I mnybed—«d
