THE PROMINENT CITIZEN.
Cincinnati Saturday Night

Cincinnati SATURDAY NlSN'
II is the ambition of some men to fig
ure as prominent citizen. They have
an Unsuitable craving to see their names
in print. They attend all meetings in
which tour most prominent citizens"
take part, and nothing pleases them so
much as to have their names appear IN
the morning papers, in the long list OF
vice presidents.
The prominent citizen signs requests
to theatrical manager OF star to accept
a benefit, after carefully scanning the
list of names to see that there is a pre-
ponderance of prominent citizens like
himself, though it has been remarked
that he rarely buysa ticket. If he gives
prominence to the affair by lending his
name to it that is enough.
1t is for the prominent citizen that
chars are placed on the stage on public
occasions, and we have seen him swell
ND with the consciousness of his own i'm
portance, and look as though the affair
was arranged with the sole view of lift
ing him up for the admiration OF the null
titude of ordinary citizens of no proml-
nence to speak of. So long as he main
tains a dignifed composure and holds his
tongue he does well enough, but some
times the prominent c!tizen-the kind
we are writing about, of course-feels
called upon to make few remarks HIM
self. and the shallowness of his claims tt
any consideration above his fellows be-
comes painfully evident, and people be-
gin to inquire how he came to be prom
inent citizen, anyhow 1t is embar
RAISING to have an inquiry of that kind
set in motion, sometimes, and no proml-
nent citizen who feels at all insecure
about his position should ever do any
thing to initiate it.
There is is rarely a procession with
out carriages being provided for tn
prominent citizen. It would be very I'M

A CONSCIENTIOUS VOTER.

Hartford Letter in Springfield Republican.
An instance of the character of some
of the Connecticut voters is told me by
an ex-State committee chairman. 1t is
to the effect that Republican voter in
one of the Lymes-a man worth $50, 900,
by the way-was induced for $50 paid
him by Democrat to agree to stay away
from the polls at a certain close election.
When the Republicans sent for him to
come to the polls he replied, ~ shall
vote Democratic if come, but finally
said that if they would pay him $50 he
would keep away, whereupon he receiv-
ed the money. Next morning he went
over to deposit his $40 in the Essex Saw
ings Bank. En- route he was aceosted
by a friend, who SAID, "Why did you
not vote yesterday His reply was,
'.Well, ! made up my mind that both
parties had got so corrupt that l would
keep away from the polls this year."
