SHORT-SlGHTED PEOPLE.
Individuals Who Do Not Recognize Their
Friends on the Street.

"Why don't you recognize that man?
You know him perfectly well, don't
you?'' Certainly; but he has cut me
three or four times, and propose that
he shall do the recognizing hereafter.
This isn't, by any means, an infrequent
dialogue. 1t opens up the question OF
the inability of some people, even Of
those who are not short-sighted. to re-
cognize other people readily. There
are men and women whom we know
and whom we can not suspect of any
prejudice against us OF any disposition
to ''cut' US, who ordinarily make no
sign of recognition when they meet
US. More than that, there are people
whom we know and like perfectly we'll,
who accuse US of cutting" them in
public.
The writer has an acquaintance
whom he occasionally meets on per-
fectly friendly terms. and who has
honorably proved his courtesy, and yet
who never recognizes him on the street.
It is not q slight. He never reccg-
nizes anybody" his friends viii tell
you And yet he has no ordinary de-
feet of vision. His case is one of
number which seem to prove that there
is such a thing as the recognizing
faculty. and that some people may be
deficient in it, such as others are de-
ficient in the musical sense OF in the
pow or of distin gushing colors. Ones
identity has to be impressed upon such
peoples consciousness by long series
Of recognitions before it can be said to
have established itself in their. sense,
so devoid is that sense of accutenesA
Such people are rather to be commiser-
ated than congratulated. They are
likely to be unjustly accused of snob-
berry or indifference. and to have to
carry burden of unfriendly prejudice

In st. Panl shoe store where there
is a sign that reads, None but gentle

TO the proprietor and said:
Don't you think we'd better pull

What the Third Party Wants.

Hon. Albert Griffin, of Kansas, Chair
man of the Anti-Saloon Republican Ma
tional Committee, has set to work to con-
dense the programme of the third party,
and to express in brief way its hopes and
plans. Every conscientious Republican
will do well to read what he says, and here
it is:
If we can defeat the Republican party
this year by drawing from its ranks enough
jealous temperance men to enable the
saloon party to triumph; and if the Re-
publican party becomes SO cowed that it
refuses even to kick, and straightway gives
up the ghost and if its members prove to
be devoid of human nature, and conclude
to kiss the hand that smote them; and if
woman suffrage does not prove to be "an
old man of the mountain" on our
shoulders; and if a majority of the
people suddenly become Indifferent
to the tariff, currency, immigration,
labor, land and other questions, about
which they now care more than they do
for anything else, or II we are able to
make the supporters Of both sides of other
questions believe we favor their views ;
and Il enough of these antagonistic ele-
ments can be welded together under our
leadership to constitute a majority party,
we will surely win. And then, and in
that case, if our legislators are uniformly
wise, and our officers Jealous and efficient;
and if no new set of misguided enthuSi-
asts, rejected ofiice-seekers, cranks and
marplots are led by our success to follow
our example and break our party to
pieces, in order to use its fragments in the
building of another before we shall have
done our perfect work, we viii wipe the
as we can and everything will be lovely
with US on top

A SUBSCRIPTION has been started in San
Francisco by gentleman of wealth and
public spirit in aid of the mother of
Goldenson, the murderer. Her devotion
to her son and unwayering affection for
the wretched man never faltered, and led
her to impoverish herself in the effort to
save him from the gallows. 1t is worthy
movement, and in no wise indicates sym
pathy for the murderer or a sentiment of
palliation for his awful crime. On the
contrary, it is manly recognition of the
purity, strength and fidelity of mothers

Press Notes,

The Idea is the title Of new publication
issued monthly by Harrison Bros, Lowell,
Mass, with Charles F. Coburn, editor. 1t
is published in small quarto form, and in
matter and illustration occupies the hu-
morous field.
The prospectus of a monthly magazine
to be called The Home Worker, and edited
by the well-known writer, Marion Har-
land, is at hand. Christine T. Herrick and
Grace Peckham, NJ. D., will be assistant
editors of the publication, and among the
contributors for the initial number, which
will be issued for October, will be the fol-
lowing: Rose Terry Cooke, Olive Thorne
Miller, Harriet Prescott Spofford, Helen
Evertson Smith, Catherine Owen, Kate
Upson Clarke, Mary c. Hungerford, Octave
Thanet and Marion Harland. The maya
zine will be published at New York.

States connected with agricultural literature
whose name is so familiar to farmers as

MIR. GRADY AND HISTORY.

Mr.. Grady, the Tammany Sycamore,
who reopened the Democratic campaign In
San Francisco Monday night, said among
other things:
Thank God protection 10 Labor ia this coun-
try rests where the Democratic party put it.
This fight began when this Government was
founded There were those who soEght to i'm
press this aristocrstic idea upon the Govern
ment. They were met by devoted Democrats
who insisted upon an absolute equality before
the law, no matter whether man could point
TO an ancestry that went back to eeniures or to
wcrkingman VINO earns his daily bread by the
sweat of his brow. Al that time the sovereign
right was conferred upon our wOrkingrneIl. and
In their hand was placed the ballot, and by that
ballot was his viii to be made law.
Mr.. Grady was talking to pronliscuans
audience; if any intelligent man desired
it would have been improper for him to
have interrupted the speaker to correct
him. But the intelligent auditor might
have truthfully said: @Mr. Grady, you
are either willfully misrepresenting his
tory, or else you are ignorant of the polit-
ical record of the country. If you do not
know, you ought to know that the Demo-
cratic party did not give labor the
protection it now has. You, sir
ought to know, and probably do
know, that the Democratic party

IF PERCY, who attempted to paddle over
the whirlpool rapids at Niagara, had lost
his life in the attempt, it would not have
been at all surprising. He is entitled to
very little sympathy on account of the in
jurieS he received, for it was foolhardy
attempt 1t has frequently been essayed
and always with disaster as result.
These foolish expeditions are useless to
mankind. They prove nothing and con-
tribute nothing to any useful art or voca-
tion, to science, discovery or human skill
or knowledge. Like leaps from Brooklyn
bridge, descent by parachute from balloons.
crossing chasms and cataracts on slack
wire, going to sea in yawls, attempting to
swim through the raging rapids of tor
rental streams and score or more of
other methods of working up the "sensa-
tional," at hazard of life or limb, the fool
ish attempt to shoot canoe through the
Niagara whirlpool was jesting with death
and putting life upon a fainter chance
than the turn of a.die. There ought to be
some law to reach the cranky individuals
who enter upon these hazardous expedi
tions to make their names notorious
throughout the land. They should be for
hidden to cater to morbid curiosity and
a taste forthis hnd..of tragedy. The mass
of the people who go out, for instance. to
witness balloon ascension with an athlete
swinging to trapeze bar beneath the
basket, are actuated by thought of the
possibility orthe probability that the ira
peze VIII break, or that the athletes grasp
will relax and the man be dashed to death
upon the earth. People Raay not confess
SO much TO themselves, nor clearly realize
that the risk taken in these hazardous en-
terpsises is what attracts them; but it re-
mains that the chance of the adventure
turning out to be a tragedy is the underly-
ing eause that brings to it spectators. 1t
may very well be considered if ii would
not be wise to prohibit all foolhardy ad-
ventures such as indicated, in the interests.
not of thesilly people who engage in them
but in the interests of society, the taste of

Democracy-and, by the way, they are
strong men and forcible speakers-appear
to have called for aid The cry from this
political Macedonian Democratic esti-
mation-has gone forth, "Come and help

Mr.. Grady and DR.. Schneider, who are al
ready upon the ground, we are assured
that the author Of the Mills bill and pos
sibly the Old Roman, and certainly sew
eral other Democratic warehouses are to
charge into this field of Mars in the
vain endeavor to put Republican hosts to

mony to the necessity for it, and that is a
confession of fear that foretells Democratic

The London Times" having a

The London Times" having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editoriaily says: ut would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-five years
ago, and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
using them, though sorry for the
popular iDfatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right
name"

A Hint to punv PsonIe.

From their arrival on this planet to their
usually early departure from it, people of
weak constitutions and angular pbys;ques
pass a sort of half-exis:ence Like dormioe
they burrow in their home retreats, afraid
of heat, afraid Of cold, constantly afraid
that the shadow Of the dread reaper will
materiaiize aud exact the forfeit which
he demands from all sooner or later,
No finer medicinal assurance Of c0mpara-
tive vigor for the feeble exists than that
afforded by HosteTer's Stomach Bitters.
Used with perSistence-no. with spurts
and spasms-this genial and professionally
commended tonic viii do much toward
infusing strength into puDy system, and
rounding of scrawny angles IN the human
figure. Appetite, nerve tranquility and
nightly repose are encouraged by it, and
malarial, rheumatic, bilious tendency over
come. 1t re-estabiisbes digestion end pre-
vents kidney troubles.

THE OCTOBER PLANETS.
Mercury and Venus Will Be in Con
iunction-Mars and Jupiter.

Mercury and Venus Will Be in Con-
iunction-Mars and Jupiter.
Mercury is evening star until the 3fst,
when he enters upon his brief career as
morning star. Venus is evening star, and
is plainly visible in the southwest soon after
sunset She set on the LIST about an hour
after the sum- ard on the 81 st little more
than an hour and quarter after the sun.
Observers will find her about s. south of the
sunset point, tremulous in ''evening light of
amber"
The most interesting feature of the month
is, perhaps, the approach of Venus and
Jupiter. Both planets are at nearly their
greatest distance from the earth. Both
planets set about 6 o'clock, or an hour and
a quarter after The sun.
Jupiter is evening star. He is in con-
junction with Antares on Oct. "a, passing
s. north of the star.
Mars is evening star. He moves on in
his eastward or retrograds course with
little that is noteworthy to mark his prog
ress among the stars Of Sagittarius. The
distance intervening between him and
Jupiter is increasing, and he is diminishing
in size and color, as he wanders far from
the earth.
Uranus is evening star until the 10th, and
after that time morning star. He is in con-
"VA SaO sun IN U1p AoOu. az OIL a.
M, and the third of the giant planets to
pass beyond the sun and reappear on the
suns western side, having been preceded by
Neptune and Saturn.
Saturn Is morning star He may be seen
in the small hours of the morning, rising on
the 1st four hours before the sun. He may
be easily recognized, as there are no bright
stars in his vicinity, and Regulus, 10 south
east of bim, will serve as guide to his posi-
ton in the sky He continues his eastern or
retrograde motion, and is now travelling
through the constellation Leo.
Neptune is morning star. His right ascen-
sion on the LIST is Al. 2m., his dsciination is
49, So north, his diameter is 2'6, and he is
In the constellation Taurus.
Venus JuDiter and Mars are evening stars
at the close of the month.
Mercury, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune
are morning stars.
