the victim into the curbstone, where he can't

keep this up until they get Il chance to get a

thing Is worked all along the route, 1t being
4 part Of the code for the drivers of all the
lines TO stand in with each other against u
driver in Il pocket An unpopular driver can't
last long. 1t is wonderful to see a stage-driver
keeping in front Of n vehicle he doesn't want
to pass him. He will never look to the right
or the left, but keep staring straight ahead,
and yet he can tell by the sound Just what
course the party behind him is pursuing. In
order to prevent the vehicle in the rear from
passing him the stage driver darts from one
side Of the street to the other, like a shuttle

Hold on, young manl7 shouted the pro-
prietor Of a downtown restaurant the other
lay as q well-dressed person started
Tor the door, utter getting a check from the
waiter on the plea that he had lost his.
There's your money, on the desk, an
,serel the youth, pointing over his shoulder,
and still hurrying toward the door. But he
was intercepted by a waiter and forced to
take a seat until another young man had
finished his repast and came forward.
ave lost my check said the second
young man.
20, you havef answered the grim cashier.
Funny that both you fellows lost your
checks The dinner will cost just ser
The young man went down into his pockets
solemnly, nshed up $50, borrowed u half
from the first young man, paid the bin, and
together they departed.
Pretty smart dodge they have got" re-
marked the proprietor. They took me in
once, but they will hardly do it again. It's a
superb swindle, and enables them to get 81
dinners for 40 cents
sImpossible- -
Nothing impossible about It, and the clever
part Of It is that they steer clear OF the law.
You 7e those chaps come in a little apart, as
If strangers, and sit at the same table. One
orders Il 81. 90 or 600 dinner, and the other
n cup Of coffee and Il roll for 10 cents. Both
receive checks. By and by the coifee-and-
roll young man passes his lO-cent check to
the other and comes up alone 70 the counter.
When he gets here he says like tho first one
who tried 10 get out The waiter forgot to
give ms Il check. ~
But the waiter knows better" vsntured
the rel orter.
That's where you you're mistaken. A
waiter frequently neglects to give q check.
Sometimes he forgets IL; perhaps he thinks
thr customer will order more; or most likely
he holds II in the hope OF getting a tip. Sc
he does not doubt the truth Of the assertion,
md saws, Ten cents The fellow puts up his
lime and walks out.
Pretty soon the other fellow finishes his
good square meal, drink the last Of his
ciaret, sauntens up when several other Gus
toners are paying, lays down the l0-cent
check his partner passed him, covers II with
a 1O-cent piece, and walks out picking his
teeth. OF course the cashier don't know
what be has had, and the racket may 10
worked for an indefinite period, and can only
be found out through M accident l hap
pened to be looking when the check was
passed.
But that is only one So meal. When does
the other come infT

EWe candidly confess that Judge Carey
has undertaken a big contract. and meta
phorically speaking, believe he has bitten

undivided attention for two whole
sessions to the accomplishment
of this one object he wouldn't have
a moment time to give to any matters of
practical import, and at the end of that
period his labors summed up would be
represented by a goose egg.

lie may be surprised to learn that Mr.. p.
HANNA does not agree with him
in his statements. and furthermore,
although with the party who ac-
companied the Western members as f. Z
as Otto, and sitting IN the same seat with
Mr.. Holiday he did not hear that gen
tlcman make the foolish remark the Sun
credits him with. A good deal of latitude
is frequently taken in a political campaign.
and the SIN seems to take pretty nearly
all Of it hat is out Of doors.
, 1884-10-30

In all apparent seriousness the Sun as
serts hat Judge Carey has sounded the
keynote of the campaign. He probably
has not sounded it very loudly, but ofthe
fact that he has sounded it there seems to
be no reasonable ground for doubt.
1t may now be said that the campaign
is fairly opened. If there has been one
thing above another that the intelligent
voters Of the Territory have looked for
ward to with feelings of unmitigated
trepidation, it has been the keynote Of
the campaign. Strong men have gone
about fairly palpitating with suppressed
excitement, fearing that through some
unfortunate blunler the keynote might
slip through somebody fingers without
having been sounded az all. As for the
ladies', They have talked of nothing else
for a week past. Every one of them was
openly committee 10 the cause, and
many of them &c alleged to
have pined in secret. rxiouay await
ing the thrice welcome sound
of the keynote. Childrcn cried for it
and positively refused to be comforted.
But now happily the whole face of ma
ture Is changed. The SIN asserts the
keynote has been sounded, and though
few have heard it, all arewilling to accept
the statement on faith. The clogged
wheels of industry viii now begin to ~
volve; the clang and clatter of the forge
should now mix their midday music with
the piercing shrek Of the whining loco
motive and the sweet cooing of the
blacksmith anvil.
Let the funeral pail which has over
spread the kindly face ofnature 10Y fold
up It's tent like the Arab and meander to
the dim and distant Whenceness OF the
Which; let the lonely screech owl put
away his little sereech and the festive
coyote suspend his lonely vigils, while n
tree, untrammeled and patriotic %populace
joins in singing pens Of praise to the
grand and glorious bcnelactor of his race,
the man who has sounded the keynote Of
the campaign.
VIII the public now bc kind enough to
consider the campaign as fairly opened
