OLD MEN IN POLITICS.


AmcY WCRECCa0B0 BmG Bn9BGKMG88 Am@
dulged I'm by Koung Baea.
Grandfather Lickshingle and Deacon
Radspinner, two patriarchs of Titusville,
Pa, were walking down street together.
1t was remarked that two such venerable
men were not often seen together, and
people raised their hats to them - they
passed along and spoke to them rever-
emily.
"There's entirely too much bitterness
in this campaign, deacon" said Mr.. Lick
shingle, "and ] regret it exceedingly.-
Now, when we wuz young men and took
an interest in politics, we had none of
this 'ere everlastin' cat-hauling."
Indeed we hadn't" acquiesced Dea-
con Radspinner. "Take Jackson's cam
paign, for instance. There wuz . lively
interest taken by both parties, but there
wuz none Of yer bully raggin' like we see
nowadays"
"That's fact, deacon" said old Lick
shingle, "but between me an you, never
thought much of Jackson"
@He was a mighty good man, Lick
single"
"He was small potatoes compared to
some men we have now, deacon"
"Who do you mean ?" demanded the
deacon.
"well, there's Garfield" said Lick
shingle.
"Garfeld be DANCED You know
mighty well, Lickshingle, he couldn't
have been 'lected hog-reeve in hill town
in Jackson's day"
"He's darned sight better man than
Hancock"
$50 slow, Lickshingle, go slow I" said
the deacon, somewhat agitated.
"Oh, / know what I'm talkin' about" !"
retorted Lickshingle, as he stabbed the
pavement spitefully with his hickory cane.
Hancock's stoughton bottle, that's
what he is"
"An' whats Garfield p Great guns |!
what's Garfield Didn't he lay cheap
John sort of pavement around the Cap
itol, and charge the government 81, ,0o0,-
600 for it |? :" and the deacon's eyes blazed
with indignation.
"See here, deacon, look at your man,
Hancock's letter to fisherman. Didn't he
try to blow up Washington with glyce-
rine? Say, didn't he? Oh, read the
papers, old man, an know what's goin'
on"
Hancock's q good an pure man.
Didn't he fight like bull in the war of
the Rebellion Where was Garfield
skulkin' in the time of disaster In Cana
dy, by thunder in Canady!"
What wur Hancock doin' with q still
letto in his boot the night Lincoln was
murdered? I? Answer me that! If Wilkes
Booth had failed, this Hancock was ready
to finish the job. Don't talk to me! Don't
talk to me I"
6 It's lie" howled the deacon, as he
whirled around and faced Lickshingle on
the street.
g It's as true ~ holy writ, an any
mans liar that says so," retorted Lick
shingle, too much wrought up to be par
ticular a. to his praseology.
aYou're bald-headed old scoundreil" !"
yelled the deacon.
You're m old leper, an can wipe
the ground with you" howled Lickshin-
gle, gripping his cane and advancing.
Friends jumped in, and the two furious
old men were dragged away IN opposite
directions. The deacon squirmed around
in the arms Of his scaptors, shook his cane
at Lickshingie, and hiased:
aYour man Gar6eld would never have
gone into the army IL he hadn't been
drafted, and he wc1ldnt went then only
he thought ha wo1ld be able to DESERT
the Onery sonsoEa-guni"

TEE USUAL MURDER.

San Francisco greeted Christmas with
her usual murder. There was, however a
certain novelty in the crime Hitherto
there has always been some motive for her
accustomed homicides- Either the victim
had unwittingly offended the murderer, or
the latter thought to gain something by the
deed. or there was woman in it. The
Christmas murder appears to have been
committed without any other motive than
mere wantonness. A man was walking
home quietly when two drunken roughs
staggered against him. He demonstrated
mildly, whereupon one of them plunged
knife into his bowels and then fed. The
murderer in this last case Is unknown, and
may probably remain SO if he and his com.
panion have wit enough to keep their
mouths shut. It will be seen, however.
that the tendency to commit murder in
San Francisco is rapidly extending itself.
and that the practical abolition of punish
ment for that crime is making it very difi-
cult for inoffensive people even to walk the
streets without endangeriDg their lives.

KELLY IN BAD TEMPER.


The recent defeat sustained by Boss F"
Kelly appears to nave soured his temper
SO much that he is making indiscriminate
war upon all whom he suspects of having
assisted his enemies directly or indirectly.
For man in his position this is of course
very bad policy, and may not improb-
ably complete his downfall. For when
Bosses" come to deal irritably with
their power, they endanger it. 1t is al
ways possible to their henchmen to COM
bine against them, and this is what has
happened to Kelly. He might have re-
covered his first defeat had he kept his
temper, but he cannot improve his pros
poets by making more enemies, and in fact
there are indications that Tamn any Hall
viii shortly rise against him and repudi-
ate him. Nobody will be sorry if this
happens, but it would be still more salts.
factory if Tammany Hall itself should
encounter the fate OF the Kilkenny cats.
Unfortunately for the public, the CO.
hesive power OF public plumber prevents
so desirable an event.

MINT STATS TICS.

The report of the Director of the Mint
shows that during the last fiscal year there
was deposited in the MINIS, for coinage,
nearly Sl00,000,000 worth of gold but
two-hfths of that sum remained uncoined
at the end of the year, because the MINIS
were kept busy coming silver dollars to
put away in the Treasury vaults. Gold is
practically the monetary standard in this
country, as it is in international transac-
tions, and for the gold coin the Treasury
and the banks and the public have use.
For the silver, beyond what is wanted for
small change, the country has no use, and
of the $50, 100000 in standard silver dol.
lars thus far coined, s4S, 600, 900 remain in
the Treasury vaults, only portion of
which is represented in the circulation by
certificates. An abundance of silver was
deposited at the MINIS for coinage on
private account to meet the demand for
silver coin, yet the Treasury was obliged
by the present law to purchase, in addition
to the private deposits, nearly S25, 600, 600
worth of silver, and coin it to be put away,
to the exclusion of S3S, 600, 600 of gold, de-
posted on private account, and for the
coinage of which there was actually some
reason. 1t doesn't require much argument
to show a man who is open to conviction
that the MINIS should be allowed to make
the gold coins that are wanted, instead of
the silver coins that are not wanted.

THE DIFFICULTIES INCREASING.

1t has often happened in history that
the reluctance of Government to use ex-
traordinary means for depressing popular
disturbances at the beginning, has pro-
duced effects necessitating the employment
of far more rigorous measures in the end.
1t is quite possible that this may be the
case with the Irish problem. The English
Government has thus far refused to sus-
pend habeas corpus in the neighboring
island, but its course in this regard has
only given new boldness to the Land
League, and has in fact enabled that or
ganization to secure control of the country,
to the virtual paralysis of the entire ad-
illustrative machinery. The Courts are
rendered both powerless and useless. Jury
trial is in effect abolished The prosecu-
ton of the Land League leaders in the
Courts is a foregone failure, ard it has been
evident for weeks that it might as we'll
be abandoned. The inaction Of the Gov
ernmsat has therefore done nothing to i'm
prove the situation, but great deal to
render it more threatening. It is al
ready serious question whether the
Land League leaders can prevent,
even if they desire to do so, an
uprising Of the people Their success thus
far has been 50 great that they themselves
may well imagine the game to be in
their hands, and therefore perhaps they
will not wish to avoid an open collision
with the Government. In the event of an
instruction, however, the Government
would have no option before it. It must
then take the shortest and sternest means
to sustain law and order, and it does not
require to be pointed out that in such a
case the present Governmental inactivity
would have to be compensatory an amount
of force which might have been altogether
avoided had firmer measures been adopted
at the beginning. There can, of course,
be no room for doubt as to the result of an
instruction. 1t would be put down in
blood. But when this Irish difficulty is
over it will perhaps appear even palmer
than it does now that hesitation in using
strong measures in such cases may be the
least considerate and merciful policy that
could be adopted by the Government.

MISTAKEN IpENTITY.-A most remark
able case of mistaken identity is related
by the Geneva correspondent of the Daily
Meas, London Professor Schulin of Basel
University, while making an excursion in
the Grand Duchy of Baden, was arrested
at Hagen by the police on charge OF hav-
ing assaulted woman short time pre-
viously. In vain he protested his Inno-
cence, explained that at the time the al
legged offense had been perpetrated he was
at Basel, and asked leave to communicate
with his friends The public prosecutor
said serious crime had been committed,
and that several witnesses were ready to
swear that Schulin was the guilty man.
He refused to listen TO his explanations.
and the Judge before whom the Professor
had been taken sent him back to his cell,
where he was kept ten days. As 1t hap
pened, Schulin was betrothed and the mar
rage day fixed, and his confinement in
prison on so serious charge, the difficulty
of committing it and the prospect OF losing
at once his character, his bride and his
Professors chair so preyed upon his mind
that he attempted to commit suicide by
cutting open his veins with pocket-knite.
The authorities at length allowed him to
communicate with his friends, when over
whelming evidence was at once forthcom-
ing that on the day when the offense was
committed Schulin was lecturlng IN Basel
University. Almost at the same time the
man for whom he had been mistaken by
the police was arrested.
