a Politician on Change.

Senator Voorhees, relates the following
concerning Colonel Hughes Fast, private
secretary to the late Vice-Presldent Hen
bricks: Hughes East lived down In Southern
Indiana, where he had made considerable
property. lie concluded he was cut for
a metropolitan citizen. He sold his prop
eity, converted IL into money, and went to
Indianapolis. lie formed co-partnershlp,
and as the senior member Of the firm he went
to Chicago on Change.
About noon on the next day he tele-
graphed his partner:
"Wout on Change. Got some pointers
on wheat, and invested our entire capital. -
At2 o'clock he telegraphed;
"Whent has advanced a point and a-half
God ia good"
AT o'clock he telegrGphel again:
"Wheat has fallen two and a-half points.
Good God !n
From that day to this Hughes East and
his fortune were parted.-L Leadylllo Herald,

A physician was called out Of sound
slumber the other night to answer the tele-
phone. "Ilello what is itY' he asked,
little pleased at the idea of leaving his
comfortable bed. "Baby is crying, doctor.
What shall / do ?" came across the wire.
"ob, perhaps it's a pin," suggested the
doctor, recognizing the voice of young
mother, one Of his patients. "No, don't
think so," replied the anxious mother; she
doesn't act that way" "Then perhaps he's
hungry,n said the doctor, as q last resort.
son, l'll see" came across the wire; aud
then all was still. The doctor went back TO
bed and was soon asleep. Later he was
again awakened by the violent ringing Of
the telephone bell. Jumping out OF bed
and placing the receiver TO his ear, he was
cheered by the following message "You

THE CONDENSED ANARCHISTS.

Captain Black, attorney for the Chi
cago Anarchists, states in n private
letter to a friend at Eau Claire, Wis,
that he has great hopes of saving the
lives of his clients. The errors of law
noted on the trial. he is satisfied, will
never be sanctioned by the Supreme
Court, and, falling there, an appeal
will be made to the people to interpose
in behalf of the condemned men. Such
is the revulslon of public sentiment
that he has no doubt the signatures of
100000 citizens Of Chicago could be
obtained to petition for the commuta-
lion Of their sentences or an outright
pardon.
To this extent the letter is all right.
An attorney is never TO be blamed for
exhausting his resources to save his
clients. But when Captain Black goes
on, as he does in his letter. to say that
the feeling against the Anarchists is
limited to the "capitalistic" press and
"capitalistic' classes, he becomes OBJ
jectionably untruthful. The great
masses of the friends of social order
are neither capitalists nor capitalistic
in the odious sense which is here at
tached to the term, and nowhere are
the crimes Of the Anarchists more Sc
verely condemned, nor their proper
punishment more inexorably de-
manded, than by the small property
owners, the security Of whose posses.
sions, won by their own hard work,
especially depends upon the vigorous
maintenance of peace and good order.
1t may be that there Is a reyulsiou Of
sentiment in favor of remitting the eX-
treme penalty of the law, but there Is
no mitigation of the offence. The
Anarchists now under sentence were
the cause of the death of eight iuno.
cent men, slain in the discharge of
duty. The murders were wauton and
unproyoked; and it would be a gross
Injustice to the American people that
their perpetrators should go free. It
is an insult to the American people to
say that their sympathies run in that
charitable and forgiying direction.
The pardon Of such grave and cruel
crimes docs not commend itself to the
sober judgment Of the country, In
cases of this character the people can
not afford to be lenient as they value
the safety of their institutions.
In arguing otherwise, or in under.
taking to show that the condemned
men do not deserve the retrlbulion
meted out to them, their attorney
makes gross mistake. If signatures
10 petition for clemency are wanted
he should be careful how he pleads
for the Anarchists that they are guilt.

The sunlight's CLEAN on rlppllng stream

And ROYAL crimsOn-w wealth untold
Around this sweet and sure retreat
Whore fair aud flashing waters meet,
A song of peace euch wavelet huns

The deep blue sky where cloudlets lie
Mid iillets Of amethystige dye;
The sOlltudes Of sOmbre woods
Where the deep calm Of ages brOOds;
Like tinted glass on molten brass
shines forth the fragrant sassairas;
Along the leas tall hickory trees,
Their banners hutteriug IN the breeze,
Hardly great crimson tinted gums
When sunset comes,
o peaceful scene Of bloom and green
And sottenod rays Of silver sheen,
Who're tWilight's shade In every glade
Half wells the queenly earth arrayed
IN garments bright with gems of light
And jewels Of the dusky night.

The blighting hand of death IL pressed
And the last huttering pulse benumb5

The Mr-y OF the White House."
They were speaking of well-known
politician and statesman.
"IIe is a man Of his word" said one
"What's his word?" inquired the other.
"Iiar," was the prompt reply, and then
they went In to I'll the flowing bowl.
Newman was at breakfast Sunday morn
ing pretty late, and his landlady was waiting
on him.
"Nr. Newman" she said, severely, 81
should like to inquire what was the matter
with you last night"
"Why-madam-w -what?n he asked, with
nervous start.
"You came in very late, you remember"
ayes, know; but | had been attending
n meeting of the Prohibition Club.n
"Well, ] am glad of that, Mr.. Newman,
for it explains why you were shouting
'Rah for Greyer Cleveland 'Rah for
Grever Cleveland p as you went up to your
room; but II were you," and she smiled a
wicked, cruel smile, "I'd change my
battle cry"
Every foreign city Is grievng that Shelf
field should have been the fortunate one
In securing Mr., Beu Folsom as Consul, and
their sad refrain is:
or all sad words Of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: 1T might have Ben."
"Maik my Words" wrote n man to the
editor Of n newspaper IN an article on the
DESTINY of the Republic" and the editor
did so with a blue pencil, and they all
tumbled into the waste basket.
Has 1t ever occurred to the cheeky masher
that "Men's evil manners live IN brassp
Some Of the boys have the habit Of spit
ting on the floor Of Sam, Kinsley's Office at
the National Theatre, aud the other day
Sam. saw one Of them do 1t.

and plaintiyely, "don't do that. I've Just
swept the floor, and II you've got to spit,
why spit on the ceiling; We never sweep
that, don't you know"
There was fair prospect that Colonel
Belo Of Galveston would be made Minister
to Austria by reason of his services to the
President in the Adirondacks, but since the
late hunt in West Virginia the Colonel Is
knocked clean out, and Major Bivins, sec
retary to the Internal Revenue Commits
sioner, is the coming man for Austria. AS
Minister to Austria, Major Bivns could
render such valuable service to the Empress
Of that country, who hunts a great deal,
that the United States could get anything
| Austria had by asking for it. We nominate
Major Bivins for Minister to Austria.
Now the diligent lobbyist looketh for
rooms, and the thrifty landlady eyeth him
well before fixing her price.
