The Tribune SAYS: "A President with
out party is not only q melancholy spec
tacle. he is as useless as the Kelley mo-
tor. He can get nothing done; has no
friends whose anxiety for his success per.
petually guards him against error; is
used by the least worthy because they are
the least scrupulous; makes more grave
blunders in sheer ignorance than the
worst of capable party leaders would ever
dare to make; and is exactly the sort of
ruler to be Stunned. Behind these there
is larger and most important reason for
preterring government by party. In all
great matters, the prosperity and honor of
this country depends upon consistent and
unhnching adherence to certain princi-
pies. Only the petty and paltry details
depend upon the will of President with
out party. The history and well being.
the happiness and the glory of the nation
depend upon the principles which con-
troll its legislation for long periods
Thus it comes about that men who hon.
or Mr.. Cleveland most are foI ced to seek
tor q party by which government may be
steadily controlled upon right princi Piles.
They are rapidly learning that the demo-
cratic is not such party"

and said to him: ''Lovejoy, there's poor
woman lives out on the edge of the town that
needs some provisions. I'm willing to sup
ply her, but I've sold nv horse and have no
means of getting the stuff to her. Now, III
buy barrel of -four and ham and some
other supplies, if You'll carry them out to
her with your team"
Lovejoy said, certainly, he'd be very glad
to do it. Accordingly, Uncle Stead bought
a barrel of -four, ham, a bucket of sugar,
etc., and telling Lovejoy where the lady lived
sent him of on the errand Of charity, with
the good things in his pung.
Lovejoy easily found the house, where the
woman lived. He unloaded the goods. puff
ing like grampus as he rolled the barrel OF
-four in, and said to the woman: "Mr. Stead,
m,n sent you the provisions. He's mighty
kind hearted man to send you all these
things"

Henry Durand has hooking bird that is

bird 10 probably the finest singer in the South,
He is not only a fine singer but a valuable
adjunct to 4 restaurant The bird seems to
know when the dining room is filled with
human tenants, and upon such occasions he
will open his mouth and initiate a spring
chicken. The imitation is perfect, and I'M
less some one happens to spy the bird and
point him out everybody will begin to look
about for the coop of spring chickens. The
bird generally keeps up the imitation until
the cry of the spring chickens so sharpens the
appetite of the tourist that they order one.
Out of season spring chicken comes high, and
when the tourist has paid his bill and gone
the bird is given a fresh potatoe.-AHanta

have seen them in most favorable conditions

been so inclined. This cannot be owing to
climatic influences. for the boys and girls up
