A Fool and His Money.
From the Baltimore American

During ten days past a band of gypsies have
been camped in the woods near hers. They left
a few days ago. This morning q well-to-do and
Misunderstanding farmer called at detective's
Office and made this statement: II live about
seven miles south of Manchester. My wife has

he did in 1884. He is not as confident as

The Presidents Contribution.

A few days ago some of the democratic
grumblers were reported as saying that the
President ought to make his influence more
strongly felt in the campaign. 1t is quite
safe TO assume that they were doing very
little, if anything, themselves. Grumblers
and fault finders seldom do anything but
grumble and find fault.
Within a week the President has done
more to give life and vigor to the democratic
campaign than all of his campaign man
ayers put together, including the favorite
of the star-eyed goddess. He has sent q
message to congress which has electrified
the country and forced expressions of ad-
miration even from his political enemies.
By his bold and shrewd move in the fish
cries business he has filed the re-
publican camp with dismay, and
upset all the carefully concocted
schemes of the republican managers. He
has done more than that. He has caused
tho ranks of his own party to close up, in
spired confidence in his leadership, and i'm
parted to his followers the kind of courage
needed to carry on a successful campaign.
He has not been content to direct and adj
wise. Tie has put his hand into his pocket
and contributed $4,000 to the campaign
fund, and his friends in Washington have
contributed $4,000. If democrats in other
parts of the country are as liberal as those
of Washington have been, the democratic
treasury will be equal to all the demands
upon it, and that, too, without political
assessments or any effort ito fry the fat
out Of democratic manufacturers.

a Fa.lse Alarm.

Some of the republican newspapers are
very much afraid that tho supreme court
will become democratic within the next
four years, and they are frantically de-
handing the election of Harrison and Nor
ton to prevent such condition of affairs.
OF course they insist that If the court
we're to become democratic there would be
danger of the country going to ruin in very
short order
1t is true that il Mr.. Cleveland is re-
elected, there will be a strong probability
that the court will become democratic. The
court is composed of nine justices, of whom
three are democrats. Two of the republi-
can justices are now beyond the retiring
age, and if they do not die within the next
four years, they will doubtless retire upon
the pensions to which they are entitled. OF
course democrats would be appointed to
the vacancies thus created.
But what reason have the republicans for
thinking that the count y would not be just
as safe with democratic supreme court as
a republican one! -Four years ago they said
that if Mr.. Cleveland wcro elected the
workshops of the country would
standstill, and that the wrecks of financial
disasters would be visible everywhere. OF
course their predictions did not come true.
| They have beon compelled to admit that the
country has been exceptionally prosperous
since Mr.. Cleveland became President, and
that his administration has been a wise and
safe one.
But they say that if the supreme court
becomes democratic there will be great
danger that the confederate claims will be
paid. What nonsense! Tho northern re-
publcans seem to be good deal more con
cerned about these war claims than the ex-
| confcderate5 themselves. They drag them
forth and raise a great cutlery about them
as often as they can, without making them
selves ridiculous, with the hope OF frighten-
ing northern voters into supporting the re-
publican ticket These claims have been
used for that purpose so often, however,
that they are far from being as effective as
they once WERE
Tho suggestion that II Mr.. Cleveland has
the chance he will fill the supreme bench
with southerners is not worthy of a
moments Sc ious consideration He will
| doubtless give the south her talr share OF
the supreme court justices, but nothing
more, and fair share would not be ma
| jority by any means, or anywhere near a
majority. The northern republican journals
need not be alarmed about the supreme
court. There is no probability that it will
ever assist in paying ex-confederato claims.
Postmaster Roby, of Portland, Ore, rises
TO explain that the missing 10000 regis
tered package left his Office in tho proper
pouch He knows it did or course Post
master Pearson, of New York, is equally
confident that the robbery did not take
place at his end Of the line. AID there is
good reason for believing that ii was not
committed en- route. In this instance.

1t is a fact well known in Wall street that
Russell Sage is of an economical turn Of mind
Although he has millions of dollars at his com
mard, he seldom expends dime that can by
any hook or crook be saved.
AS a matter of economy Mr.. Sage for many
years declined to replace the shabby car

office.

he said, land there amt any use of getting new
ones"
4 few days ago the famous professor of puts
and calls went out of town ON business trip
His employees took advantage of his absence
and had his office renovated and retGrnished in
handsome style.
When Mr.. Sage returned he was so astonished
that it was several minutes before he could re
cover himself to say:

but now that the things are paid for guess we
might as well keep them -

A Timely Rhyme.

She could not return nor serve,
But her ankle had a curve
That was divine.
She could run and bend with grace
Aud she'd such q fiower-face,
wished her mine.
In a dress of black and red,
With Tam O'Shantcrei head,
And sweet lips smiling;
All around her dainty waist
A broad silver belt was placed
For mans begulling.
Her new canvass shoes of black
Looked so trim and small-alacki
| must confess
They put all my nerves to rout,
AS they twinkied in and out
From meath her dress
Like nymph of old she'd stand,
In her white and dimpled hand
An English racket.
But she couldn't ever get
The sky-ball across the net,
Much as she'd whack 1t.

Then her black-fringed, violet eyes
Would seek pline in sweet surprise;
Was / to blame
That the balls rolled here and there
Or IDLY beat the air
In that love game?

When people speak of doubtful states in this

were doubtful in 1880 and 1884. But the tariff
issue this year entirely deranges the old basis
OF calculation. Their are new elements of
doubt in politics. With thorough education
OF tue people on the tariff question and clear
understanding of It's significance and bearing
