Romance of Numbers.
New Orleans Democrats.

There is a romance in numbers, -
the romance Of enormity! Ameri-
cans calculate, it must be remember
ed, after the French fashion. With
US billion is not as with the English
a million of millions, but simply "a
thousand millions and a trilion is
not billion of (English) billions but
a Thousand billions. The English
reckoning is simply terrific when we
start upwards from billions millions
of millions) to trilIions, quadriIions,
quintillions, seXtillions, septilions,
0ctillions, etc. So vast are these En-
glish numbers that they are practi-
calIy valueless - imaginary. They
cannot be applied even to the calcu-
lations OF astronomical distance.
And these distances daze human
understanding. Twelve degrees east

Now these numbers seem enough
to bewilder any mind but they are

Good judges in ohio believe that
the laws relating to liquor traffic pass
ed at the late session of the Legisla-
tuie will strengthen the Republican
party in the State. None of them
were enacted hastily, but all were
carefully digested. They do not salts
fly all who were in favor of restriction,
but the general sentiment is that u
difficult question has been successful
ly dealt with. The constitutionality
of the Scott tax law will doubtless be
tested at once, case being made up
for the purpose. The Republicans
can claim at least that they have
made an honest attempt to regulate
the traffic in rum and give the people
an opportunity of saying whether it
shall be prohibited.

From The Detroit Free Press.

"A year VI inore ago, as the foreman
efone ofthe irsnz zworlxsAof this city
was crossing the yard one day, he es-
pied little skip of a boy, seemingly
not over eleven years old, seated on
big fly wheel and chewing the end
OF bitter reflection.
"Who are you 2"
"I'm Jack"
"What are you doing here?"
"Resting,"
What do you want ?u
ga job"
Those were the questions and an
sWers. The boy was pale and rag
ged. but in his steel-blue eyes the
foreman saw game. And, too, the
idea of a Waif like him setting out to
battle the world touched a tender
chord in the heart of the man who
had boys of his own, and he set Jack
at work in the yard.
No one thought the boy would stay
week, and no one cared to ask
where he came from or who he was.
But he stuck. He was hard work.
ing and faithful and, as the weeks
went by, he gained friends. One
day he walked up to the foreman and
said:
81 want to learn the trade"
You? Ha! ha 4! ha! Why, Jack,
you are not big enough to handle a
cold-chisel."
81 can whip any prentice boy in
this shop! ~ was the earnest declara-
ton.
"Just hear him! Why. any of the
lot could turn you wrong side out |!
When you get big enough to whip
the smallest one you come to me for
a job"
AT noon that day Jack walked up
to the biggest apprentice boy in the
shop and said
"Come out DOORS"
w ha1 uO JOu WdHl
"l'm going to lick YOU"
"What for?"
"Because l want a chance to learn
the trade"
The two went out, and, in sight of
twenty witnesses, little Jack won a
victory. At O'Clock he touched his
cap to the foreman and said:
1--WE licked you biggest prentice
and want to go to work ~
Ten minutes later he had become
machinist's apprentice, and if you
go in there to-day, you will find him
with greasy hands, oily face and a
head full of business ideas. Jack car
ries the keys to the drawers where
the steam gauges, safety valves and
other trimmings are kept. and he
knows the use of tools, the workings
of every piece of machinery, and
there is constant call for Jack here
and Jack there. Before he is twenty
he VIII be a finished machinist, and
before he is twenty five he will be
foreman of some great shop. He is
quiet, earnest, respectful and observ-
ing. What he does is well done.
What he is told he never forgets.
And here in Detroit are hundreds of
boys who complain that there is no
chance for them, ever when backed
by money and influence. They wait
and wait and whine and complain,
and leave it for waits like little Jack
to call up the game in their souls, and
walk boldly into great manufacture
ing works and say:

CHALMERS.
The Mississippi Gamecock as Special
Counsel,
Manning Wants 70 Know Why, and Pro-
pounds other Pertinent Questions.

Congressman Manning of Mississippi
has opened war on General Chalmers,
his late opponent In the congressional
race. There were three candidates in
the field-Chalmers in the role of anti
Bourbon, Manning, Democrat, and o
regular Republican candidate. The
certificateof election having been given
to Manning, Chalmers came 10 WASH
ington and conferred with the attor-
ney-general and other high officials
and returned TO Mississippi with APP
pointment Us special attorney for the
government, 10 assist in tho prosecu-
ton of persons alleged to have COM
mltted election frauds for the benefit
OF Manning. Chalmers began to wreak
his revenge upon Democrats with n
grand.jury composed of men in politi-
cal sympathy with himself. Manning
introduced n resolution i'm the house
calling on Attorney-Genera Brewster
To state what public necessity there
was for the appointment of special
counsel. The committee on judiciary
will consider the resolution, and Ii
they recommend its passage by she
house there will be a showing up Of
Chalmers in the novel attitude OF u
prosecutor of election frauds.
L
Manning also introduced resolu-
ton calling on Commissioner Raum
to explain why he thought il neces-
sary to send to Mississippi just Mt cleo
ton time two internal revenue agents
specially appointed for the occasion.
Raum meekly says he had cause to
send agents TO Mississippi to look into
Internal revenue matters, but Man
ming, who recently had n short inter
view with Raum with regard to the
matter, says the two men were sent
to do partisan work, and were very
jealous in behalf Of Chalmers among
the negroes, whom they made to be-
lieve that the president wanted Re.
! publicans to vote for Chalmers. Man.
ming says he means to show up the
methods by which the administration
undertook to control the election.

had arisen over the high ritual observed by

parcntly Induced the bishop at late dloce,.

upon the matter. Rev.
Richie recently rendered his
resignation and letter from the parish ia
the bishop urged him not to accept It and In
addition proceeded to discuss the question
OF ritual. The bishop responded IN mild
tone and expresses affcctionatc solIclllilu for
both the pastor and the parish. but asserts
that the order Of solemn mass, when
there IL no communion Of the people, us
printed aud used at the Chur,li Of the As
ccnsion. ~ not the order for the adminstra-
tion of the Lords supper or the holy com.

Office. Tho bishop asserts he has no prcju.
dice against lawful ritual Of an ornate
character. and has no sympathy with TINT

cannot make u compromise with law break.
