watterson On Deck Again.


! Mr.. Henry Watterson, VINO arrived ia
New York on Monday after an absence in
Europe of several months, looks upon Mr..
Cleveland's denomination as altogether
probable. 1t is clear from his talk to the
New York newspape however, that he
hasn't a very great admiration for Mr..
Cleveland. de believes that he is
honest IN his purposes but mis-
taken in his methods, and at
times unfortunate in his Instruments"
Mr.. Watterson believes tnat the President
will have to change his course somewhat,
at least to the extent of taking the Demo-
cratic leaders more fully into his conf
dence, and by the assertion of an adj
minstrative policy on all the great issues
in harmony with Democratic traditions
and instincts, and upon this forcing the
drill and the fighting"
Mr.. Watterson would have acted more
wisely if ne had thoroughly posted him
self respecting the recent elections before
expressing himself so fully. What he
says about ian administrative policy on
all great Issues" ETC., is little more than
words. 1t is sound rather than sense,
There are times when Mr.. Watterson
talks like man of brains, and others
when he makes people doubt whether he
deserves the reputation which he enjoys.
The present administration hasn't been
backw ard about taking a position upon
all important issues. Indeed, no other
administration for long time has been
more pronounced IN its views than this.
When Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated he
outlined his course, which was in perfect
harmony with the national Democratic
platform. and he has followed that course
steadily and consistently. AT the outset
Mr.. Watterson and others who are now
finding fault applauded 1t. Mr.. Cleve-
land has not changed, but Mr.. Watterson
and other GROWERS have, largely, perhaps,
because they haven't been consulted as
frequently as they think they oucht to
nave been. They may as well make up
their minds that the administration isn't
going to change its course In any essen
tial particular because it hears a few
growls. There is no possible course it
could pursue that would be approved by
everybody.
Mr.. W atterson wants the party leaders
called in and consulted. The chance of
their agreeing upon anything is not one
in a hundred. No DOUBT the President
has always consulted with those OF them
In whose judgment he has confidence,
Some of those who haven't been consulted
are the ones who are kicking.
There is one sensible thing that Mr.. Wat
terson said in his talk in New York. 1t Is
that the Democratic party must stop
shutting on the tariff issue. 1t must
take square stand in favor OF tariff re-
form. That is an issue with which it can
win if 1t Is presented vigorously and in
telligently. In the late election the pro-
lection rather than tariff reform Demo-
Gratis suffered defeat. A couple OF tariff
reform leaders were unfortunate, but the
next House will show larger proportion
OF tariff reform Democrats than the pres
ent one.

A CHEsTNUT POET.
Who Has Charge of tine Division OF
the Logan Boom.


From the Chicago Neaos.
Mr. Clarence p. Dresser, who has more free
passes in his pocket than any otner man IN thls
country, has issued in pamphlet form record
OF his trip to the Pacific coast in the interest
of John A. Logan and the railroads me
most remarkable feature OF the brochure are
the poems with which he intersperses his
sketch. Mr.. Dresser has long been known as
writer of witty ven de sOcietle, out tnese
Vers are in much more serious VEIN anu
breathe spirit of patriotism that IS hlghly
creditabIe TO the author. We submit copy
OF the first stanzas of several:
"My country tits of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee sing;
Land where our fathers died,
Land Of he pilgrims pride,
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring
The next although in another vein, is
equally fervent:
''In the prison cell I sit,
Thi king, mother dear OF you.
And our bright and happy home, so far away
And the tears they D. my eyes.
Spite of all that | can do,
Tho try 10 cheer my comrades and be gay"
This one should strike responsive chord in
every heart:
We're tenting tonight on the old camp
ground,
Civ e us ing to cheer
Our weary hearts, song Of home
And friends we love 50 dearw
While for this one We'll predict great popu-
larity:
Eyes, Wen rally round the flag. boys, Wen
rally once again,
Shouting me battle cry of freedom!
We will rally from the hillside, wen gather
from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!''
Verify Mr.. Dresser has mistaken his voca-
ton. One who rides so gracefully through
Parnassus, even though 1t he on a free pass,
should prefer Pega- us to q limited express.

1t Makes a Difference.

From the PhiLadelDhja Times (I'1d.)
Although a white Democra' was coldly
murdered by a number of colored Republic
cans in Texas on cleo i n DAY, no QUERY has
been raised by the bloody-shirt organs, and
even John Sherman has failed TO denuunce the
"utrage. In the light OF events W messed by
the last generation this is singular, u say the
least, but it may have been due to the fact
that the tarIff was being saved. 1t sometimes
makes d ference. too, whose bread falls
with the buttered side down.

JacksOnville's New Steamship Line
Jacksonville is apparently excited over
the prospect of having a steamship line to
New York. Under the arrangement
which has been entered into between the
Florida Railway and Navigation Com
pany and William L. Clyde & Co., of New
York, the line will consist OF four vess ls,
two of which will stop at Fernandina
and two will go to Jacksonvil e. 1t is
expected that one steamer will leave Fer
mamma and one Jacksonville each week.
In order to secure sufficient freights to
sustain the line the steamers Will stop at
Charleston.
There IS no reason why Jack sonv1lle
should be particularly elated over
the establishment of this line. 1t does
not, from present appearances, promise
the business men of that city, or the fruit
and vegetable growers and other shippers
of Florida, any advantages over those
they now have. 1t must necessarily be a
slow line, because the stop at Charleston
will prevent it from making quick
trips, even il the vessels are
ordinarily swift. A slow line can
never become popular with the travelling
public, nor with fruit and vegetable ship.
pers. The markets are so changeable
and the great bulk OF Florida freights
so pershable that the time be-
tween the shipping and the re-
ceiving points is a matter of the
first Importance. 1t is very doubtful,
therefore, if Florida shippers will find
their interests promoted IN any wav by
the new line. 1t is an experiment which
does not now look as fit would Justify
any great amount of rejoicing.

A strange and very improbable story of
a surgical operation comes from Paris,
being the testing of pet theory of DIR.
Prengrueber. A child of II years OF age
was taken TO the Trosseau Hospital to
die, she having fatal lung disease. The
atmosphere of the room where she lay
soon became so foul that none could APP
proach her bed. and she cried for death
during a whole week. Physicians hest.
tated, but in consideration of the certain
ty of fatal issue the consulting doctors
decided in the interest OF science that an
effort should be made to test the possiolli-
ty Of Prengrueber's theory. Accordingly
the child was put to sleep and the opera
ton performed, the diseased flesh and
ribs being cut out and the lung tissues
burned. This does not, Of course, sum
up .he details of the operation, which oc-
casioned no loss of blood to speak or The
result in three weeks was return TO
health for the patient and great fame
for Prengrceber, who is from Algeria and
not quite 40 years OF age. Pneumotomy
is the term applied TO the operation.

Something About Chinese

Chinese is queer language. All its
words are only one syllable long. But
the sounds in the Chinese language are
not very many, some four hundred and
sixty-five at most, and their written
language contains about eighty thou
sand pictures, each picture representing
thing or idea. And these pictures
must be committed to memory. This is
hard work, and not even the wisest
Chinese professor can learn them all.
But now comes a difficulty. For, OF
course, where there are so many words
and so few sounds. many different word:
have to be called 10y the same sound
How then are they to tell, when several
different things have exactly the
same name, which of them is meantP
We have such words. For instance
there is Bill, the name of a boy; and
bill the beak of bird; there is bill, an
old weapon, and bill, piece OF money
there is bill, an article over which legis-
laturcs debate. and bill, claim fol
payment of money; besides bills of ex
change. bills Of lading. and so forth.
But Chinese is full Of such words of a
single syllable. gen, for instance, which,
like Bill. means many very differen,
things. So they chose a number of little
pictures, and agreed that these should
be used rs keys" Each '.key" meant
that the sign or signs near which il
stood belonged to some large general SCI
of things. like things of the vegetable
mineral or animal kingdom, forests
mines, or seas. air. or water. or of per
sons. like gods or men. 1t was like the
game called throwing light" in which
you guess the article by narrowing dowr
the field until certain what it is.
But there Chinese writing stopped
short, thousands of years ago. There il
is to-day. There are now two hundred
and fourteen of these "keys." and. by
intense application, Cinnamon learn tt
use their method with surprising quick
ness and success. Henry Ecktord in 81
