Put Himself in Her Place.

Mrs. Gray stood looking out of the
window, while her husband put on his
hat and gloves preparatory, to going
into town. They had just risen from a
nicely spread table and the room was
neatly and tastefully furnished.
There were no indications of poverty
there, yet Mrs. Gray's voice and manner
we're faltering as she asked for some
postage STAINS.

curtly.
"Three will do. thought ! would

"Did you ever reckon up, my dear.
how much you spend for postage stamps
/ in the course Of the year p asked Mr..
Gray as he lit his fragrant cigar. "Well.
let us see. You write at least five letters
week, which is fifteen cents, and fifty
two times fifteen are seven dollars and
eighty cents year, to say nothing of
the paper and envelopes, haven't a
correspondent in the world outside my
business"
"Your friends live near you, while
mine are in another State. Do you wish
me to give up writing to them ?" And
her face took on an extra tinge of color.
By no means. only mentioned the
cost of the things. But must go. Good
bye"
"Albert!" she said timidly.
Mr.. Gray turned back.
.sCan you give me five or six dollars ?
I-want to GO to town to-day"
"Five or six dollars!' exclaimed Mr..
Gray in astonishment. "What on earth
can you want with FIVE or six dollars ?"

monev. What fools women are! What
would a man think of putting piece Of

"They are what no lady can do with

are necessary in our land, and"
"Say no more. But why is it tha

"For the simple reason that hitherto
have bought them myself, with money
earned by plain sewing. But since my
lillness-in the antumn--it hurts my sidt
to sew much and ! have got to give i

Mrs. Gray enjoyed her husbands hor,

"Plain sewing! Annie, ! thought yor

THE CONFESSIONS.

Self-confessed peEurers are always at a dis
advantage, of course, when they announce
that they have begun TO tell the truth. But
any intelligent man can usually know
an honest confession by the tone Of it,
and we believe the public will regard
the statements which Morey and O'Buen
have made as full disclosures of the truth
concerning their share in the forgery con-
spiracy. 1t is difficult to see how any other
conclusion can be reached, when both stories
seem so entirely straightforward. and ex-
plain many circumstances in this matter which
have been obscure before. The fact that in
each case the employers of these men knew
they were buying false testimony is set forth
with unmIstaka able cearBess.

teemen, lackgumd journalists and black
mailers, lawyers, baseball players, saloon
keepers and what not this is, standing up
before the country with palms outward and
the whites of their eyes rolling up like billiard
balls. protesting that they know nothing about
the Morey forged letter! 1t seems that
nobody is responsible for the letter, and
nobody Is responsible for the perjuries with
which 1t wa attempted to bolster up
the forgery. Queer isn't it! Here is a
brazen and scandalous crime; who did it &?
We know who uttered the counterfeit; who
published the forgery; who at great expense
circulated it 10y hundreds Of thousands all
over the country by whose directions it was
multiplied and spread everywhere. tucked
under city doors, flung into village door
yards, scattered on highways and by
WAYS, put into manufactures stores and
shops pressed upoI citizens on the
street, sent i'll envelopes by mall
and by every means given as wide
publicity as possible. All this was
done by the Democratic National Com
mittee, and is not denied. What have
they to say about 1t, now that the vilany Is
culating forgery so clumsy that 1t could
not stand moments investigation Why,
nothing, only that they thought ii was

They were not deceived. They snapped it up

Then here are two men cauGht-and nobody

The Democratic Elector who was scratched
Il 4.

The Democratic Elector who was "scratched"
on account of his personal unpopularlty
is surely defeated, and thus General GARFIELD
will have one of the six Electoral votes OF
the State, making final computation OF the
electoral vote as follows Garfield, ia
Hancock, 155. The incident has given
rise in Democratic newspapers to fresh
criticisms on the electoral system, the
argument being that the Presidential prefer
oncc of the people was nullified by the per-
sonal unpopularity of one of the persons Sc
lected to vote for the candidate OF the major
ity The logic is poor, seeing that the voters
who scratched the obnoxious name knew per-
fectly well that they were voting for only
five Hancock electors. But if the argument
were better the hardship would still be
slight compared with some previous cases
that are somewhat analogous. Henry Clay
lost two votes from Maryland in 1882, be-
cause two Of the electors were sick. and the
State law gave the Electoral College no power
to fill vacancies. In 1864 Nevada cast only
two votes, one of the electors having died.
and there beng again no power to fill va
cancy. But why worry7 The one vote
wouldn't make Hancock President.
