This little paragraph from the Bal
timore Gazette Dem. is a fair illus
tration of the harmony which pre-.
walls in the Democratic camp: "Mr
Washington Mclean wants the Ohio
democracy 'to come to the front early
this year. If the Ohio Democracy
really desire to win in the campaign
OF next fall, the best thing they can
do, with their present financial ideas,
Is to step to the rear and stay there.
Inc party can win without Ohio, and
IL Will win without it. Mechanism
must be stamped out by the Demo
cratic party if it means to win next
November"

The eyes of Mrs. Yoshida, wife
of the Japanese Minister, are black
and soft and luminous, and there is
in them strange, uneasy shrinking
from observations sort of fear
which perhaps this lady herself
never knew, for she is young, and
has lived in an age of progress; but
this eye-expression is an index of the
abject modesty of the women in the
East, the moral and physical abase-
ment of the sex, which has lasted
through aons of forgotten time. In
another generation or two the women
of Japan will probably be as quick
of eye, as saucy of speech, as some
Washington belles.-OIi0e Logan.

A W2man's Exploits on Horse
back.
{ 6s thb Vallejo, CAL, Chronicle.l
There is a yDung woman in the up
n part of this county who can be
ssen in the region Of Pleasant Valley,
flyss.a 5ut-4e hills on horseback,
leap aEning chasms and ravines,
and riding on the precipitous hill
sides, Wherein ordinary equestrian
would think it impossible for horse
to get a foothold. She throws the
lasso with precision, and can turn
the stoutest bull over on his back
with as much ease as a cook would
flop a pancake. Contrary to what
might be supposed, she don't ride
a la clothes pin, but in the insecure
saddle fashion. This woman,
whose performances create deserved
enthusiasm in her region, is appar-
emily not over twenty-three years of
age.

New York Iri6une:-The town
elections in this State, which have
thus far been held, show rather sip-
nifcant Republican gains. Accord
- TO tL< Utica Herald's estimate
"a out of 60 counties where
1ns have been held, the Repub-
icans have a majority of the Board
OF Supervisors in 25 counties, the
Democrats majority in IA, while in
fve counties there is tie. In these
counties the Democrats had an ae-
gregate majority last year of 68.
This year the Republicans not only
overcome that majority, but secure a
clear majority in the aggregate of
l3O, thus making an actual net gain
as compared with the result of last
year, of 1913.

Sealed His Doom Unconscious
ly.
lErarn the New York Sum l


One of the strangest things in ref
erence to the testimony of Mr.. Pen
dleton, is that he seemed wholly OBJ
livious to the fact that he was de-
stroying himself in giving it. He
appears to have been unaware that
there was anything out of the way
in what he had done. This seems
difficult to understand in a man of
his education, or, at least, Of his op-
portunities. He testified as if un-
der the delusion that if he only clear
ed himself from the suspicion of hav-
ing paid bribe, it mattered little or
nothing what else he confessed. He
sealed his own doom quite uncon-
scious of what he was doing.
