THE NATIONAL LEADER
AIEETPE


The question has often been asked
us who is Shupe? Thanks to the New
York Star, we are able at last to an
swer. Shupe is on the surface the
leader of the Nationals of New York
city; under the surface he is the paid
agent Of John Sherman. He is not
merely pretender, but a fraud, the
hireling of fraudulent administers
ton. Asserting himself in full SYM
pathy with the greenback- labor move
ment, he is known to be in the en-
ployment Of the most pronounced en-
envy Of that movement, John Sher-
man, Hayes's secretary Of the treasu>
ry. The editor eff the Advance, which
claims to have IA circulation of five
hundred thousand weekly as the organ
of the working classes, he is paid eve~
ry week by committee of bankers to
betray the cause he advocates in so
extreme way. Shupe is an inform
er, traitor, man who loves money
moresthan principle, political Bene-
diet Arnold, with whom nothing is
sacred where his own selfish purposes
are likely to be interfered with.
Shupe, like some other editors, pre-
tends to be with the Radicals. lie IS
paid with money by the John Sher-
man ring to advance the interests of
the Hayes party; whereas, they are
paid with Office. Shupe is loud in his
protestations of devotion to the Green
back>Labor movement since it has
been organized under the name aNa>
tional, because it affords him an OPP
portunity Of trading upon it, of maxi
ing bargains to sell his influence 70:
money or exchange it for friends who
want Office. One of Shupe's objects
was 70 organize the Nationals in all
the New York city districts, and draw
away as many Democrats as possible,
so as to make an easy triumph for the
Radicals. The same thing has been
done in Memphis. "His nlercenary
bargain with John Sherman is notori-
Gus, says the Star, eand there is not
a workingman in the State who is not
aware of the INSCRIPTIONS political
character of the secretary Of the treas
ury, and Ct the danger that such an
alliance BODIES to the cause of labor.
Yet, despite this, Shupe continues in
uninterrupted communication with
Sherman, who is his political mentor
in the present movement, and whose
immense political and pecun;ary in
fuence, ana also that of the treasury
syndicate, are leagued with the Re-
politicians against the greenbaok-labor
movement. 1t is even stated that as
recently as last week Shupe received
fifty thousand dollars from Washing>
ton toward paying the current expen-
ses of the Sherman organ in New
York. p AleFapkis hpprak arss

THOUSANDS IN THE BATHS.
A TERRIFIC woMAN's DAY AT THE FOOT
OF THIRTY-FIFTH STREET.

1t was about 6 80 O'Clock last eve
ming when a World reporter reached
the free swimming bath, foot of Thir-
ty-ffth street, North River. Thou
sands of women-for Friday is one
of the days set aside for the setter
sex-thronged by him eager for a dip
after the sweltering heat of the day.
All sizes were in the throng from the
tiniest shop girl to the portly dame
with a flock of half a dozen young
ones following in her wake. They
rushed by the sleepy policeman who
held guard at the gangway, and only
stepping long enough to get them
bathing suits at 10 cents apiece from
an active young WON'T in the pas
sage way, disappeared into the dress
ing rooms ten at a time.

dez, the active young woman afore-
said, ssthat's the way it's been going
on all day. There are over 600 of

"Six hundred at a time?"
".Why, of curse; there are sixty
eight dressing rooms. and there are
from six to ten in each ROOM"
"Pretty lively work?' said the re-
porter, as Miss Lmma switched the
rattan and sent five or six little girls
who had been o%bstructing the gang
way out OF sight.
"Lively is no name for it. Here,
where are you going with them
corks?" This to two new arrivals
not over seven years old.
"Please mum, we bought 'em for
5 cents. We want to go in for a

you've been going in for a swim
every five minutes all day long," she
said sharply to one of the PAIR.
s.Come here little one."-and she
separated the two comprehension
can't swim any more. Give the
others a show" And as the disap-
pointed cork owner saw her sister dis
appear into the bath she burst into
tears and pleaded to be in ''just once
more"
Are the girls as much trouble as
the boys?"
"As much! Why, Lord bless you,
they're ten thousand million times
worse. You can manage boys, you
can catch hold of them and yank
them about, but I'd just like to see
you try to yank the girls
Avery fat German woman, with a
very small child, came along.
"You can't take that child in,
madam, It's too small it III get

"Wot? She got drount2 Kadey,

child burst into a very large laugh.

For the past two years there has
been q pleasant rivalry among literary
people to devise a mode of expressing
the thoughts by certain signs and
acts, SO as to be understood and read
by parties distant. To this end they
first devised the handkerchief firta,
ton, then the fan, and now the glove,
each in turn becoming the more pop
ular as they were invented. Among
a certain class, however, there was
still q vague, uncertain sort of def
cheney; a kind of undesirable sort
of lacking that failed to cover the
ground. A few of nj young men
had no gloves, and others were with
out fans, and still q greater number
were frequently unprepard to give a
creditable handkerchief entertainment
by reason of the great washer woman
monopoly, which is carried to such
an extent in cities. To meet this
long felt want the Champion has de.
signed a Irritation with the hat, which
will be duly entered according to
congress az soon as feasible entrance
to congress can be effected. IL
In introducing a Irritation with the
hat, it has been the experience o.
