Has Anybody Seen Hendricks.

Brother Hendricks, of Indiana, has
performed the capital feat Of cutting
his own political head off in that inter-
view business. The subject-matter was
so brazen and utterly ridiculous that
contempt mingles with wonder on eve
~ side that he ever got upon such a
strain. At first Hendricks tried to
wriggle out of it in some way, but he
quickly found that would not do; and
so he has retired into a disdainful ST.
lence. The fact is that he meant to
have just such blarney go before the
country. The best explanation we have
seen comes from an Indianapolis DEM
ocrat whom correspondent of the Bos-
ton Herald induced to tslk in Washing
ton. That Indianian said:
"I see that Hendricks is disposed to
back out of the ugly situation in which
he finds himself, by denying that he
said what was attributed TO him in re-
cent interview about the manifest ad-
vantage of renominating ''the good old
Tilden and Hendricks ticket OF 1888"
/ haven't the slightest doubt that
he wrote the interview himself He
is forced to an attempt at wriggling
out of it by the strong sentiments of the
Democrats of Indiana in favor of Nc

ald.nominated for the Presiden-
cy. He has been trying to prevent that
nomination ever since he found at Gin
cinnati in 1880, that he could not get
the Presidential nomination himself.
He sees that Mcdonald is growing
stronger and that Hendricks is growing
weaker daily, and he proposes, if it be
possible, to nominate himself as Vice.
President in order to prevent Nc
Donald's getting the greater nomina-
ton Of course, he must have an East
ern man for the first place, and who
so well fitted as his quondam friend
TildenP Of course, he dislikes Tflden,
and would like to do without him, but
Tilden is available; so Hendricks law
partner and political manager works
up a little boom out in the country
districts for Tilden, Hendricks and re-
form. A few small newspapers echo
the old battle cry, and then Hendricks
interviews himself. That was q great
mistake, with disastrous results. Hem
dricks is evidently weakening under the
Mcdonald pressure. He has brought it
upon himself, and he will find when he
comes to himself that he has cut his
own throat from ear to ear"
Probably this diagnosis of the case is
as correct as any one will ever get of
Hendricks extraordinary performance.
The reception of his self-nomination is
of character to make an aspiring
statesman's head ache. Most of the
papers laughed at him, many sneered,
while scarcely one has had a good word
for the tail of the Democratic ticket of
1876. The fact that he declined to go
in with Tilden in 1880 for vindication
rises up like a snubbing post in his path
way. 1t is not often that political
candidate snuffs out his own candle and
snugly tucks himself away on the upper
shelf in q frantic endeavor to place
himself conspicuously before the public.

SOMEBODY'S SECRET.


Somebody and /, in the moonlight,
Went down where the golden-rods grow;
He told me q beautiful secret,
That nobody ever will know;
For III keep IL we'll
never will tell
The secret he whispered 30 low.
He told the sweet story 80 softly,
It did not cen waken a bird;
The katydids kept such q chatter,
do not think they could have heard;
But they'd never tell
know very well,
No, not If they knew every word.
The moon and the stars heard the secret,
know by the smile that they wore;
They winked at each other 30 slyly,
I'm sure they had heard IL before;
But they'll never tell,
know very well; tl' a.I.
They've heard Il too often before
For, It's said the story's an old one;
But that win never confess;

And oftentimes wears q new dress:

Dramatic, but Doubtful.

A story which, if true, would be
startling, and which is interesting
whether true or false, comes from the
Town of Lake View. 1t runs as fol-
lows: A few days ago gentleman re-
siding in that town drew three hundred
dollars from bank in the city with
which to meet an obligation, and
took it home with him. Before
he had an opportunity to dis
burse it he was called from home
to remain over night. His wife was
rendered quite nervous by the knowl-
edge that such q sum of money was in
the house, and objected to being left
alone. 1t was suggested that a male
relative should be asked to act as guard
for the night, but at length it was de-
cided that if the services of huge
Newfoundland dog, the property of the
landlord, who lived on the upper floor
of the same house, could be secured the
wife would consent to her husbands
sbsence. The landlord consented to
loan the dog after being informed of
the situation, but was particular to eau
ton the lady that, in the event of any
burglar entering the house during the
night, she must remain perfectly quiet
and let the dog attend to the business
in hand. The husband went away.
Sure enough, during the night the wife
was awakened by the presence of a
masked burglar in her room. Remem-
bering the landlords Injunction, she
remained quiet and was rewarded by
seeing the faithful dog spring upon and
throttle the intruder. After a terrible
struggle the dog was victorious, and the
man lay unconscious on the floor.
Satisfying herself that he was helpless
the lady arose and struck a light and
was Mortified to discover that he was
the landlord and the owner of the dog
that had protected her. In the dark
ness and under the mask the animal
had not recognized his master. The
landlord died Monday night, as the
story goes. Chicago Tribune.
