he Is really too busy to go this year, although
he might run over for week or two and come

Mrs. Gall to Mrs Shamm-We have talked
great deal about doing Europe this summer,
and at one time had quite made up our minds to
go, but so many of our friends are going TO Bar
Harbor, and they are SO persistent in their
entreatieS for us to go with them, that we have
almost allowed ourselves to be persuaded into
giving up Europe for this year and dividing our
time between Newport and Bar Harbor. We
may, however, run over to Paris for the last of
the season. 1 rather think we shall.
Mrs. Shamm-How nice if could arrange

Mrs. Gal!-Oh, that would be lovely! We
really must try to arrange it that way.

Politics and Advertising.

There is complaint that general adyertis-
ing business thus far this year is not good.
There is, doubtless, some truth in the COM
plnint While the local advertising,
especially in the smaller cities, is quite salts
factory, that which is received from abroad,
and classed rs general, shows considerable
falling of in volume.
The reason given for this condition of af-
fairs is that business is always duh during u
Presidential campain. But why should it
he' Business men, who do business which
requires 4 large amount of advertising, say
that the uncertainty as to whether there
will be a change in the control of the Gov
eminent, and consequently change in its
policy, influences people to esi tate to make
contracts.
Ii is evident to every thinking man that
this is all nonsense. Business ought to be
just rs good in a Presidential election year
as any other. A change in the control of
the government does not necessarily involve
such change in its policy as to interfere
in the least with business. 1t is a fact,
however that business halts and hesitates
10 far greater extent in a Presidential
election year than in any other, and, rs
there is no good reason why it should,
business men ought TO unite to prevent it
from doing so. If they would only think
that the year in which a President is elected
is just as good for business as any other,
there would be no general complaint about
dull business throughout the year Presi-
dent is elected
The Republican newspapers are partially,
if not wholly, responsible for the paralysis
which seems to strike business in Presi-
dental election year Ever since Lincoln's
election they have been asserting during
the Presidential years that If the Democrats
succeeded in getting control of the govern
nlent the business of all kinds would be
ruined, and the country would go to the
dogs OF course they do not believe such
results Tould follow the election of n
Democratic President, but they do not

Worth Repeating.
rom the PhilndeInhin Press

from We fnNudetpnt0 fTeSS-
This is good story, worth telling just once
more: A man was once walking one road and a
woman along another. The roads finally united,
and man and woman, reaching the junction at
the same time, walked or from there together.
The man was carrying large iron kettle on his
back in one hand he held by the legs live
chicken, in the other a cane, and he was lead
ing goat. just as they were coming to deep
dark ravine the woman said to the man: I'm
afraid to go through the ravine with you; it is a
lonely place, and you might overpower me and
kiss me by force" IF you were afraid of that, :"
said the man, you shouldn't have walked with
me at all How can l possibly overpower. you
and kiss you by force when l have this
great iron kettle ON my back, a cane in one
hand. live chicken in the other, and am lead
ing this goat? might az well be tied hand and
footr' Yes" replied the woman but If you
should stick your cane in the ground ana tie the
goat to it, and turn the kettle bottom side up
and put the chicAen into it, then you might
wickedly kiss ME in spite Of my resistance"
Success to thy ingenuity, oh, woman" said
the rejoicing man to himself. Il should never
have thought of such eXpedients." And when
they came to the rayine he stuck his cane in the
ground and tied the goat to it, gave the chicken
to the woman. saying, Hold it while l cut
some grass for the goat" and then, lowering
the kettle from his shoulders, imprisoned the
chicken under it, and wickedly kissed the
woman, as she was afraid he would!

The Juror Who Saw an Angel.

Judge Turner. of the Circuit Court of Clarke
county, Virginia, has granted new trial to
Joshua R. Locke, convicted of killing William
R. jenkins. The Clarke Courier, in noticing the
affair, says: I'm support of the application for
a new trial, counsel for the prisoner introduced
George w. Lee, one of the jurymen who con
victed Locke, and he made most remarkable
statement for person who had been chosen as
a juror. lie declared that during the recent
trial of Locke he fixed bis eyes upon the younger
Locke and Gertie Zumbro (the latter a child
witness for the Commonwealth and daughter of
Mrs. jenkins by her first marriagel and while
watching them he saw an angel fit from one to
the other, and he then solved the situation by
coming to the conclusion that young Locke was
in love with Gertie. and that jenkins was ieal-
Gus of him; that he was not willing to render a
verdict on the evening the case was given to the
jury, but during the night he had made up his
mind that Locke was guilty, and in the morn
ing when he woke up spirit seemed to say to
him, justified, justified, justified He also
stated that during the trial spirit was whisper

Some Interesting Statements.

While convincing probably no one Of the
soundness Of his position, Senator Stewards
speech, the other day, in favor of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment reducing
the vote required to pass bill over the
Presidents veto from two-thirds to a ma
jority, contained some very interesting in
formation.
Going back TO the time of the adoption
of the constitution, Senator Stewart said
that the veto power was conferred upon the
President on the assumption that he would
rarely, if ever, use it. The provision was
proposed by Mr. Randolph of Virginia, and
Mr.. Hamilton, of New York. wanted to
strike out the words giving Congress the
right to override vetoes, contending that
there was no danger of the power being
unduly exercised. DIR. Franklin, of Penn
sylvania, interposed an objection to this
and cited the case of the Governor of his
State, who, he said, constantly used the
power to extort money. DIR. Franklin made
these extraordinary statements in his
speech: IAN increase of his the Gov
ernor's, salary, or some donation, was
always made the condition Of his signing an
regular practice to have orders in his favor
on the treasury, presented along with the
hills to be signed When the Indians were
scalping the Western people, and notice of
it arrived, the concurrence of the Governor
in the means of self defense could not be got
till it was agreed that his estate should be
exempted from taxation"
Assuming Senator Stewards statements
to be correct, the whole number Of Presi-
Dental vetoes from the time of the adop-
ton of the constitution to March 4, 1885,
was 133, while in a little over three years
Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed IA bills and failed
to sign some so others. During MS eight years
in Office, Washington vetoed only two bills,
while jefferson, John Adams, John Quincy
Adams, Van Buren,, Taylor and Fillmore
refrained altogether from exercising the
veto power. Mr.. Lincoln sent in but one
veto.
Senator Stewart processes to discover "A
growing sentiment in the States against the
veto power. In Alabama, Arkansas, Con
necticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Vermont and West Virginia, he says, the
power is qualified so that majority of the
Legislature may override the Governors
veto; in Nebraska and Maryland three
flfths vote is required, while in Delaware,
North Carolina, Ohio and Rhode Island the
Governor is not vested with the veto
power
These things, as has been said, are in
teresting as information, but they will not
influence Congress to favorably consider
90. Gf.atsr rf1e
why the people are satisfied with the con-
stitution in this regard is that the veto
power has been used for their advantage.

Republican schemes.

The Republicans are proposing some bril-
liant schemes for capturing the Presidency
One of them was noticed by the MORNING
NEWS some time ago. 1t was that the Chi
cago convention should make no nomination,
but that each State should put forward its
favorite son. In this way it was hoped to
arouse the party in the close States to suffi-
cient enthusiasm to get a majority of the
electoral college. This scheme was con-
cocted and abandoned in California.
Some smart Republicans in Missouri now
propose another and similar scheme, which
is about as brilliant as the California one
and about as impracticable. 1t is that no
nominations shall be made at Chicago but
that platform shall be adopted and that
the campaign shall be conducted on it. II
is urged in favor of this scheme that there
will be no sulking and no disappointed
leaders; that the entire party wi work en-
ergetically and harmoniously to elect the
Republican electors in the different Statos
with the hope that if a majority of them
are chosen each Presidential aspirant of the
party will have a chance to be chosen
President by the electoral college 1t is
also urReu JnaU Jne poople WOULD DO pleased
with this scheme, as it would place more
directly IN their hands, than the convention
method, tho power of selecting President,
and that therefore they would support it
with enthusiasm.
OF course all such schemes are preposter-
GUS and none of them will be adopted, but
they serve the purpose of showing that the
Ranuhlican marty is without much if anv
hope of success.

Protection for All Classes.
From The Nep York Herald (TIld,

But the Democratic party does say this, and
says 1t very emphatically, that the protection OF
only one class must and shall give way to the
protection of all classes; that a protection which
breeds moDopolies and combines and trusts is a
sham and pretentious humbug; that it will
ultimate in a coteri4 of rich and aristocratc
capitalists, who will grow richer every day, and
a mass of worldugmen who every day will grow
poorer; that that kind of protection is not to be
tolerated. for the simple reason that 1t is not
