porations to proper legislative con-
troll. aud in the management of the
politics of the state by the people of
the state, without federal interfer-
ence.
Grover Cleveland is a succ6 ssful
man of the people. Born in New
Jersey forty-five years ago, he was
educated at the Academy of Clinton.
in Oneida county, to which place his
parents had removed. Obliged early
to earn livelihood, he was placed in
a store as clerk. He was presently
persuaded to go to Cleveland, Ohio,
to try his fortunes; but at Buffalo
his uncle urged him to remain and
study law, and lie was admitted to
practice in 1859. Four years after
ward he was made assistant district
attorney, and filed the office with
credit, and in 1870 he was chosen
sheriff. But he cared less for poll
tics than for the business
of his profession, in which
he soon won distinction and
built up a large and lucrative
practice. He was esteemed as q
model private citizen. He was re-
spected by all parties as a high
minded, trustworthy, independent
man. And last year, when the peo-
pie of Buffalo wanted a mayor who
was personally lncorruptible,
who would conduct the affairs of his
office on business principles, who
would disregard the politicians to
serve the people of the city and pro-
tect its interests. they spontaneously
elected Grover Cleveland. The Of
flee sought the man, and he would
have refused it but for the urgent
And in that Republican city he was
chosen by majority of over five
thousand votes. His administration
has been so successful, so satisfac-
tory to the people, and so pure
that he is to-day the most pop
ular public man in Erie county.
A Democrat by instinct and convic-
ton, he was named for governor by
popular reclamation, and nobody
seems to know who spoke his name
first. His nomination was a spon
taneOus expression for popular re-
gard.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
for governor is splendid step in adj
vance on the line of a new Demo-
cratic departure. Horatio Seymour
wisely said little while ago that the
time had come for new men to take
the lead in our politics, and that the
young men of the party could not
pick up old mems quarrels. Most OF
the men who were named
Tor governor before the con
ventiOn had been mDre or less
implicated in the tactiOnal conien-
tons of the last ten years; and even
the most estimable of them had
preiudiced opponents. 1t is saying
nothing discreditable of any one oil
them to declare what will be the
verdict of the Democracy of the
whole state, that IN taking up new
man, not involved in any past con-
tention, the convention acted with
cOnsummate wisdom. 1t carried
out the policy of union it had in
augurated at the outset. 1t empha-
sized its determination for harmony
by its candidate for governor.
Henceforth the Democracy of the
Empire State is one and indivisible.

a Hebrew Charaoteri.tic.

The Jewish Chronicle, of England,
thus explains what it deems mark
ed characteristic of that race. '.The
mobility of Jewish emotion is doubt
less one of the causes of the verv
marked Jewish capacity tor music
On the intellectual side music and
mathematical power appear to go
hand in hand. On the side of emo
tion there seems to be required for
musical ability a ready play OF deep
emotion. a nation that mas produc-
ed within the last half century such
musical geniuses as Felix Mendels-
sohn. Meyerbeer and Halevy, not to
speak of the smaller ones like Often
bach, must possess greater talent
for music than other people.
Perhaps more than anything
we owe to this fiexi-
bility of our nature the decided
Jewish joyousness and capacity to
bear trouble. No nation except the
Japanese can vie with us in general
cheerfulness of disposition. The
connection of the two qualities is OBJ
vious. A nature that can change its
moods easily can more easily bear
sorrow than one which broods on its
troubles. A less mobile character
than is the Jewish would probably
have been crushed and certainly
emDittered by the centuries of per-
secution that Jews have passed
through. Yet it is undoubtedly most
Characteristic of the Jews to be
bright and gay. Jewish family
life is more attractive on this
account, and this prevents that
seeking for amusement outside
the family circle which is the quick
est dissolvent of family love. 1t is
likewise due to this fact that SER
wants who have lived a long time
with Jews are spoiled for any other
service. In a wider sphere this joy
business led to an optimistic view Of
things in general, which was the
Jewish trait that had melted the ire
of Shopenhaner, the father of mod |
ern pessimism aud the hioden source
Of much of modern Jndentresserei.
Wagner's opposition to Judaism in
music is due to his pessimistic man |
ner and to the more peaceful and
happy strains which emanate from |
Jewish musicians.r ]

A New Feature In tho Liquor
Movement.
baltimore Herald

The retail liquor dealers of De-
troit, in organizing for resistance to
he rising prohibition tide, have
taken action which is surprise.
They condemn the prohibition
movement, and pledge themselves to
unitedly resist with all lawful means
in their power. But they do not
stop here; they do not content
themselves with opposing prohib-
ton they pledge themselves also TO
assist in putting down law
lessDess and dlsorderly H.
quor selling by prosecuting
the low saloons which keep their
doors open all night and on Sunday,
in defiance of the law. They also
resolved to employ an attorney to
prosecute these disreputable drink
ing places, aud detectives to hunt
up the necessary evidence against
them.
This is practical prohibition. 1t is
prohibition that renders prohibitOry
laws unnecessary. 1t is not liquor
selling and drinking that the prohl-
bition movement is aimed at, so
much as it is the repulsive excuses
of liquor drinking and selling.
The world Is coming to be orderly
and self-respectful In its taste and
demands. When any business, trade,
social custom or other agency ceases
to be respectful and tends to de-
moralize public sentiment, there is
certain to be a determined war
against it.
Spurious liquors are not an evil
IN themselves. They are a very
useful and a very necessary product
in their proper places but it is the
abuse and the MISERY which follows
their abuse that have excited pub
lie disapprobation and desire to
crush out the whole business.
The most effective method ofmeet-
ing the opposition to the LIQUOR
traffic, therefore, is to begin by re-
moving the disorders and lawlessness
that provoke it.
1t is the duty and privilege of
every calling to rid itself of the char
acters and practices that bring it into
disrepute, and then stand on its
honest rights and on the law before
the community. This is what the
Detroit liquor dealers are doing, and
the example may be commended to
the imitation of the same class in
other cities and states.

water-tight barrel is the first thing requh :
ed. Into this pour water 10 the depth OF
foot. Next dampen piece of very thicl
paper, and stretch itOver the top of the
barrel, tying it securely below the upper
hoops. When the paper dries it will
become thoroughly fiat and tightened.
Its surface should then be strewn with bits
of cheese, etc, and the barrel so pla, ed
that the rats may jump upon it from Sc me
neighboring surface. AS soon as the ba t
i gone, a fresh supply should be spread
on the paper, and the same operation le.
peated for several days, until the rats Get
accustomed to visit the place for their
regular rations fearlessly and without sus-
picion. The bait should again be spre: d
as before, and a few pieces of chces e
should he attached to the paper with gum.
When dry, cut a cross in the middle of the
paper, and leave the barrel to take care of
