Dennis Reagan is now living IN q fat which
overloOks the Iackawanna tracks. Across
| the street lives an Italian nobleman In re-
| ducod circumstances VINO ekes out his poor
existence with the aid OF q poor monkey and
a worse hand organ. To GaribadI comes
Dennis one evening. and. after passing the
time of day, warns up to the subject in hand.
''AV ye plaze, Mlsther Garibaldi," says
Dennis in his most unctuous and wheedling
tone, ''wud ye have any objections to loanin'

the Count.
"Niver We mind" replied Dennis. 'swhat

The Count suggested that loo. an hour
would be tho proper figure, after vainly at
tempting to find out what Dennis WAS going
to do with the monkey. Dennis hagQled and
tried to beat the Italian down, but daribaldI
wouldn't have 1t that way, and the deal wss
closed at his figure.
Everything went beautifully for few days.
The money wds paid promptly and the mon-
key was returned regularly in time not to IN
terfere with the requirements OF the Counts
profession. To be sure the animal looked
little hollow-eyed and careworn, but in the
main was in good condition,
Finally, however. the Italians curiosity got
the better Of his avaTice and he told Dennis
that the monkey would not be loaned any
more. 1hlS announcement had most de-
pressing effect on Dennis. His megRtherian
Intellect rose to the emergency, though, and
he proceeded TO effect one OF those mastery
financial coups which dazzle people who are
not familiar with the Workings of the capital

Damaged by a Wicked Partner.

1t Is unfortunate for Henry w. Blair,
the cranky Senator from New Hampshire,
that he has a wicked partner. This
wicked partner and a widow named Ladd
have about ruined the Senator as the
champion of that numerous class Of Union
veterans who think the most desirable
thing in life is a pension.
To hear Mr.. Blair talk one would sup
pose that he came to Congress only to get
pensions for old soldiers. He certainly
has presented more bills for pensions
than any other Congressman, and when
the President vetoed some of the pension
bills because there was neither law, facts
nor common sense in their favor, he
showed great deal OF temper, and talked
as if he would veto the vetoes IL he had
the power.
The wicked partner and the widow
Ladd, however, hit Mr.. Blair such a hard
blow that 1t Will be some time, perhaps,
before he will again feel like talking
about pensions for the widows and the
orphans.
1t seems that the widow Laid had an
imbecile husband who had been Union
soldier. He died number of years ago,
and she applied to Mr.. Blair, who at that
time was apracticing attorney in New
Hampshire town, to get her pension. Mr..
Blair sent her to a pension attorney, who
succeeded in getting what she wanted.
When the pension was obtained the
wicked partner sent her bill tor 800 for
the services of Mr.. Blair, who mad in the
plpRtaI har nf ha
lower house Of Congress. The widow de-
cllned to pay on the ground that Mr..
Blair had rendered her no service,
and, also, because she had paid the pen
sion attorney all the government allowed
anybody for getting pension. The wick
ed partner, however, insisted ON having
the cash, and 80 he sued the widow. The
widow had no money with which to en-
ploy lawyer, and not knowing what to
do let the case go by default. When the
wicked partner got judgment he had an
execution issued against the little patch
OF land which the widow had purchased
with her pension money. The widows
land, however, was not seized. Mr..
Blair about this time had aspirations for
the Senate, and he knew that to take the
land for the kind of a claim that he had
would defeat his Senatorial aspi-
ratlons. lie, therefore, told his wicked
partner not TO press the claim further.
committee of the Senate is now
investigating the matter, and in the
due course of time will prob
ably prepare report withdrawing Sena-
tor Blair. But they cannot put enough
wbitewash on him to hide his embarrass-
ment should he ever again undertake to
condemn, on the floor of the Senate, the
President for vetoing fraudulent pension
bills. The man who would charge a
widow 500 for services in getting a PEN
sion, when he did nothing but refer her
to pension attorney, can hardly have
very deep sympathy with those who are
really entitled to pensions.

When Cyrus was king there was seldom a
He didn't have done as he happened to
please;
His orders were laws, barring one little clause
Which sand the king never could change
HIS DEGREES.
Now the king had wife whom he loved as
his life
| might parenthetically stop to declare
He'd many beside, for he oft took bride,
But that's neither here, nor in Oshkosh, nor
there.
This wife had corn, so, arising one morn,
she into the dressing room stealthIly crept,
And, boiling the door, sat her down on the
floor
To trim the excrescence tine while the king
slept.
Twas an hour after that when His Majesty
sat,
And suffered his chin to be soaped by a
slave,
For Cyrus was reared not to swear by his
beard,
So he took every morning lather and shave.
One swoop of the blade and the angry king
made
All Iran resound with the woe of his wall
He ripped and he tore, and he staggered and
sWOre
And ordered the innocent barber to jail.
Then the favorite wife, who had dulled the
keen knife.
Fell of in a swoon as she heard the decree
Whoever had fooled with that razor, twas
ruled,
Next morning at sunrise beheaded should be.
When the King knew the fact twas his wife
who had hacked
That razor, he tried to have things rear
ranged,
But the men of to day will be pleased when l
say
Tha The edict was issued and could not be

The Suggestion Relative TO Pri-
maries,

1t is a source of satisfaction that the
State Convention followed the suggestion
Of the MORNING NEWS relative to hold
ing primaries in all the counties on the
same day. The fact that the suggestion
was so generally approved is pretty
good indication that it has merit.
The action of the convention ought to
find prompt response in all parts OF The
State, 80 that before another State election
everything will be in readiness for hold
ing primary or mass meeting for the
selection OF delegates in each county at
the same time.
There would perhaps have been less
bitterness in the Gordon-Bacon campaign
for the Gubernatorial nomination, and
there certainly would have been less time
given to the campaign, if there had been
an arrangement tor selecting all the dele
gates on the same daV.
While the people ought to take a deep
interest in all important political ques-
tons, and should strive to make them
selves familiar with them, there is no
beneht in wasting time with the mere
machinery OF politics. The quickest way
TO make the will OF the majority known is
the best way.

Secretary Thompson's New Depart
ure,

The new Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury, ex-Gov. Thompson, OF South
Carolina, has discharged a clerk from the
Treasury Department because he acted
In manner unbecoming a gentleman
while a passenger on a steamboat running
between Washington and Mount Vernon.
This action of the Assistant Secretary has
been criticised on the ground that the
department has no control over it's en-
ployes when they are not within its juris-
diction.
Public opinion will sustain MIR.
Thompson. A clerk who fails to conduct
himself as a gentleman when outside OF
the department is liable to fail to conduct
| himself as one when inside of it. But
even if his department when at his des k
is excellent, if he Is a rOwdy when he is
not on duty his actions are calculated to
bring the civil service into disrepute. IL
clerk is seen In the streets In a drunken
condition, or conducting himself dis
reputably in public places, remarks are
apt to be made rejecting injuriously upon
government employees.
Government clerks doubtless think that
it is no business of their superiors what
they do out of office hours, but if Mr..
| Thompson continues the policy that he
appears to have adopted they Will soon
have a different oplnion-at least they
will understand that the government ex-
poets them to act like gentlemen when off
as well as when on duty.
