himself, has no hcsltancy in allowing his

Is the perfection of a statesman's wife, in

Sam Randall, with his usual ubiqui
tousncSs, Is one of the leading figures in
all lotteries, and he formed part of a Gu
rious sandwich at Senator McPherson's
dinner not long ago. He sat on the same
side of the table as Speaker Carlisle, and
the two were separated by the long form
of Senator Sherman. Sherman said that
he was put there to keep the peace, and
he was indeed the butter which made the
two slices of Democratic bread move
easily upon each other There was no
loud talking or acrimonious discussion,
and from the jokes that were banded,
and the tafTy that was greedily sucked,
one would not have supposed that any
thing but the friendliest relations existed
between the two great leaders.
Henry Cabot Lodge is one of the new
members from Massachusetts, and he is
looked upon as u strong addition to the
Republican side in tariff discussion. He
looking, but his brain is more noted than
his beauty, and his studies of the tariff
have been made in connection with extern
sive biographical research He wrote a
life of Alexander Hamilton, and he has
written a biography of Daniel Webster
for the american Statesmen Series, " and
when he takes the floor his tongue will
drop tariff and financial facts as that of
the good little girl in the fairy tale
dropped pearls or as the bad little girls
dropped toads, It is a pity that we have
not Frank Hurd here to answer him, for
Hurd has the Golden clubs arguments at
his tongues end and he is n statesman
with the mouth of an orator.
Abe Hewitt will also be missed in this
discussion, but the south will furnish new
brains in the person of Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, and Norwood, of Georgia, and
there is much undeveloped strength
among the new members.
Tom Reed does deal Of studying which
no one ever hears of, and that big, round,
fat head of his is pretty well packed
already. He has been reading on the
tariff, and his memory is like wax to re
ceive and marble to retain He lives at
the Hamilton house, and though he does
not pretend to be as much of a specialist
on protection as Judge Kelley, he will
lead the fight, though Kelley may nomi-
nally direct it.
Kelley grows more wonderful every day,
and one OF the most extraordinary things
about him is to me, his memory. He is
an example of a man who has made long
success of public life without being able
to remember either q face or Il name. He
can remember mems voices, but not their

hated to be appointed monitor, for the
reason that he was never able to point out
a culprit who pinched his fellow, and that
he was whipped for letting whispering go
on under his eyes. 1T was no fault of
mine,' said he, "for the boys would not
be whispering when the teacher looked at
them and / could not remember their
names well enough to tell who they
We're"
Not long ago Kelley met Charlie Muir
ray, who was for years a correspondent Of
The Philadelphia Times. The two had
had many talks together, and Murray
supposed that Kelley of course knew his
name. He did not, however, and one day
| introduced Murray to Kelley, and the
judge said: "Why, is your name Muir

with the president. His collar was as

md the nominating conventions. The Re-
publcans have opened big headquarters
here, and they pay, l venture, at least
$500 a month for their rooms. They have
taken the whole house which was form
srly occupied by the Chinese legation, and
they have plastered its walls with photo
graphs and portraits of their most noted
leaders. The Democrats are doing no less
work, and number Of quiet councils
have been held, and the wires have been
laid which reach to the uttermost parts Of
1ke United States.
In the meantime, it seems as though
the tariff is the thing and the selection of
Roger q. Mills as chairman of the ways
and means committee has been one of the
happiest thoughts Carlisle ever had. The
speaker of the house is very good judge
of men, and he knows Mr.. Mills from q
long acquaintance in public life. The
two have been together for decade, and
their relations have been such that one

THE TROUBLESOME TWINS.

There once were twins, two toddlng things
Who looked like one another,
And just to tell which one was which
Was sometimes quite n bother,
For when you felt most sure Of one,
He likely was the other,
Whether Ted was Tod, or Tod was Ted,
Sometimes caused apprehension,
And led to blunders and mistakes
Too numerous to mention,
Yet none were smart enough to find
A positive prevention.
II Ted, while playing in the barn,
Met with slight disaster
They'd be sure in their alarm,
To clap on Tod the plaster;
They'd give Ted oil when Tod was sick,
And Tod got well no faster.
One of them dicd-they ne'er knew which.
And then came CONSERVATION;
How could they put upon the stone
A bald prevarcationI
They simply carved on it "T-D."
And closed the alteration.

NAPOLEON when prisoner on the
rock-girt isle of st. Helena was wont
to look back across the great watery
waste to the battle field of Waterloo
and note the causes of the over whelm.
ing defeat to himself, and. as he con
sidered it, his invincible army. In the
bright days he would trace on the
sands of that lone island his war map
and plans of battle and note at one
point and then at another failures of
subordinates that caused the crushing
defeat, which, had they been averted,
would have saved his army and
brought him certain decisive victory.
But the mistakes were made. The old
guards rode into the jaws of death.
his army was crushed and he himself
was made prisoner and an exile on
barren isle in mid ocean. The Dem
ocratic Central Committee of Idaho
can look back through the mist and
fog of eighteen months and recount
the causes of defeat to their party in
the battle at the polls in 1886. In
tracing their plans of battle the Com
mittee can see where mistakes were
made and who made them and who
was responsible for the failure at one
point and who for failure at another
point The battle has to be fought
over again. The Democrats were not
crushed in that defeat; they lost none
of their prestige, and to-day are en-
thusiastic to win back the laurels lost
in the battle Of two years ago. The
Central Committee has learned a les
son in the school of experience-it
