The Hvpocritical Dodge.

The New York Press says that it sin
cerely trusts that the Republicans will
not starr into the Presidential campaign on
the hypocritca dodge" The Press does
not appear to have a very good opinion of
its party, since it admits that it is Just as
likely to start into the campaign on that
dodge as any other. 1t seems to take it for
granted that it will start into the campaign
upon some dodge 1t doesn't object TO
other lodges, but simply 10 the hypocrtcal
dodge, because it does not believe that
that dodge will win. What respect is n
party entitled to which is willing to resort
! TO lodges of one sort and another for sue
cess
But notwithstanding the Press solicitude
it is about certain that the hypocritical
dodge is one of the lodges to which the Re
publican party will resort during the APP
preaching campaign. Senator Sherman, in
his speech at the banquet of the Home Mar
ket Club in Boston, on Thursday night,
censured the President for promising civil
service reform and at the same time
making sweeping removals of officials.
Senator Hale, in speech in the Senate
few days ago, undertook to show that the
President had not lived up TO his civil ser
vice reform promises because be has re-
moyed great many Republican officehold-
ers, and the Republican press is all the time
asserting that the President has violated his
pledges with respect to civil service reform,
and it improves every opportunity to show
how many removals have been made since
!. L,4A
evidence is needed than that the Republican
leaders and newspapers are working the
hypocritical dodge for all it is woTthl They
know that civil service reform does not iu-
cude within its jurisdiction the officials
whom the President has removed, and they
know that he never promised not to remove
such officials. What he did promise was
that he would enforce the civil service re
form law in letter and spirit, and who is
there who will say that he has not kept this
promise:
The Republicans, for purposes Of their
own, try to create the impression that he
pledged himself not to remove officials who
do not come within the limitations of the
civil service reform law, and because he has
removed such officials they allege that he is
insncere and is endeavoring TO deceive the
people. What are they trying to dot Are
they not slanderipS the President, and are
they not doing it under the pretense of call
ing him to account for shortcomings! If
this is not hypocrisy, what is 1t!
1t is true the hypocritical dodge, rs the
Press says wont win, but that will not pre-
vent the Republican party from using it,
They are so accustomed to it they could not
very well get along without it.

The Crown Prince and His Pipe.

There are many anecdo ties aloat concerning

of the Prince. caused little antechamber to be
constructed next TO his box, to which he could
retire between the acts One evening Herr
Buchholz entered this little cabinet, according
to his custom, TO give the Prince a loyal

sudden action, thrust something behind his

This is the age of inventions. Almost
every day something is invented that is cal
culated to help the world get along faster.
One of the latest inventions is an electrical
contrivance for printing by telegraphy.
The machine is combination of a type
writer and an ordinary telegraphic instru
ment, by means of which the operator,
pressing the keys on the board of a type
writer at one end of a telegraph wire, may
make typewriter copy at the other end
of the wire The transmitting machine also
makes a copy of the message. The same
machine can be made a transmitter. 1t
looks as if there would soon be- need of
more type-writers and fewer telegraph
operators

Amy'S Hat.

The marvel fashions mandate made;
The velvet soft. the jaunty wing,
And all the beauty there displayed.
A dream of lace, satin fold,
A dash Of silk Of finest weft,
And, on the upturned brim behold
The golden arrow Cupid left
Oh, work of art. The sweetest thing
That e'er on woman's couture sat
Enough to make a seraph sing
A paragon, fair Amy's hat!
The quaint calash Of long ago,
The pixies and hoods of other days,

Less ca culated to amaze;
And yet nethinks, our granddames grave,
Whose mean the Pilgrim church begat,
However demure they might behaYe,
Down in their hearts could not but rave

The milliner had done her best;
Remained there one thing to attach
Does not your mind at once suggest?
The loveliest girl on earth to match!

Nor seek in distant lands for that;
The one thing needful. entire NOUS
Behold it, under Amys hat!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-There are good many
stories ahoat in army circles which illustrate
the character of Col Ludlow, who was removed
the other day from the Office Of Commissioner
of the District of Columbia He is rather
brusque in his manners and when he doesn
want TO be disturbed he is apt to treat an IN
truder with degree of rudeness that is mex
cuSable. Nobody. however, ever had reason TO
question his honesty
When be was in charge of the water wor KS
system of Philadelphia he was much disiiked by
the political bosses and contractors who wanted
to make more money out of the city than their
contracts permitted them TO do leCitimately.
One of the political bosses who had contract
on the water works, and who thought that
bank note properly handled could be made to
return big interests, called on Col. Ludlow at
his office one evening about some matter con
nected with his contract. In the course OF the
conversation he deity placed $50 bill on the
table and covered it with his hand. Having
concluded his business he took his departure,
leaving the bill upon the table. He had got as
far as the door when Col. Ludlow, Observing
the bill, called to him and asked him what his
purpose was in leaving it. In some confusion
he said; "Oh, little matter of few dollars
with which to buy some cigars for the boys at
the works"
Col Ludlow said II have some very good
cigars. Won't you try one before you go:'
The contractor came back seeing no good
reason for refusing, and took seat while Col.
Ludlow opened drawer in his desk and pro
duced his cigars The box was offered to the
contractor, who took one, and Col. Ludlow
took one himself. Quietly taking up
the bill. while talking pleasantly all the while,
Col. Ludlow rolled it into an elongated shape
and, lighting il at the gas light, offered the CON
tractor a light for his cigar He then lighted
his own cigar and calmly watched the burning
bill until it was consumed By this time the
contractor was SO nearly paralyzed that the
smoke from his cigar was choking him. Con
fused and embarrassed he managed TO make his
way out Of Col. Ludlows Office. No more
bills were offered tc Col. Ludlow in Philadelphia.
1t was understood that he could not be bribed.

This is from that too enthusiastic protec
zionist paper, the New York Press. Mai.
j. F. Hanson, of Macon, Ga, says that the
protection sentiment is growing so in Geor-
gia that if the direct issue could be made
between Democrat like Randall and a
Democrat like Carlisle, the former would
carry the State by $4,000 majority. They
don't like Carlisle in the South" 1t is
doubtful if Maj. Hanson is correctly re-
ported He is an ardent protectionist him
self, but he is supposed to be man of some
judgment The statement that they don't
like Carlisle in the South" is probably an
afUerthought of the Press. 1t rounds Off
the paragraph very nicely.

A story is being circulated in the New
York papers that Gov. Hill used last year
about SIT 900 of the public buildings appro-
priation for buying articles of furniture,

Mansion in proper style. The Republicans
say the Governor misapplied the funds, but

Mr.. j. Hale Sypher, who was Mr. Thoebe's
counsel in the contest against Speaker Car
Isle, has written letter to the New York
star, for the ostensible purpose Of explain
ing his connection with that contest and
defending himself against the rather severe
criticisms of his conduct in connection with
it. 1t is quite evident, however, that he
had become alarmed lest his effort to array
the labor vote against the Democrats should
prove "A failure, and he hastens to reiterate
his former statement that he was engaged
in defending the rights of an honest
laboring man to a seat in Congress, TO
which he had teen honestly elected, against
the Democratic free trade Speaker" His
fears are well founded. The Labor party is
not composed of the character of men he
thought it was. 1t will not be led by the nose
by such men as Sypher, and he cannot car
ry out his purposes by Juggling into his
speeches and letters such expressions as
democratic free trade Speaker" and true
representative of the industrial classes 1t
is doubtful if a single honest Labor vote
will be changed by the part he took in the
contest.

by the fact that Thoebes bill did not men,
ton counsel's fee The public is not as
gullible as he thinks it is, and it will prob
ably insist that if Thoebe's bill is allowed by
Congress, Sypher will get his full share of
the money
1t is the more surprising that he should
not charge for his services when the esti-
mate he places on them is considered
They are always valuable to my country
and to my clients" he says. 1t does not APP
pear, however, that either the country or
Mr. Theobe has gained anything from them
in this instance The case was conducted
throughout in bungling manner. With
ample time to collect his proofs before Con-
gress met. he went before the committee
with absolutely nothing upon which to
base a contest. He was not sharp enough
to conceal the fraud practiced in obtaining
certificates of alleged dubious practices on
the part of Mr. Carlisle, nor in hiding the
fact that many signatures to the petition
for re-opening the case were forgeries. All
that he succeeded in doing was to show that
he was hired by the Republicans for parti-
san purposes.
Sypher is about at the end of his row. He
has play ed his last card, and it is to be
hoped that nothing more will be heard from
him in connection with the case.

Gum chewing is said to have become al
most as common among Congressman as
among school girls. Scores of them have
lately acquired the habit. 1t was intro
duced by new member from the West.
One day he astonished some of his brother
statesmen by inviting them to go out and
indulge in little gum chewing. They had
probably been accustomed to INDUCING in
something more exhilarating, but Congress
men rarely refuse anything that they don't
have to pay for, and so they went. Now
the man who keeps a little gum stand near
the main entrance to the House does a thriv-
ing business, and many members are get
ting as particular in their choice of gum as
in the brand of cigars they smoke. Does
this gum-chewing habit indicate falling
off in intellectual powera

South Carolina in 1888.

The South Carolina Year Book which has
just been issued, contains an exhaustive
account of the progress made by that State
since 1880.
In the beginning of 1887 the people were
somewhat discouraged. Several successive
poor crops, added to other causes, had
brought about general depression among
them. There was a marked financial i'm
provement during the year. however, and
the statements contained in the book named
are calculated to inspire them with hope
for the present year.
The total value of taxable property has
increased since 1880, $50 600, 900; the value
of 1--we stock has increased 81, 500, 900; farm
productions S5,000,000; fruits and vege-
tables, 100000, and mineral products,
$4,000. In the manufacturing industries
there has been an increase of 1, 1913 establish
ments, and an increase of $3.50 operatives.
The additional capital invested in manufac-
turing is $40, $40 900, and the value Of manu-
featured products has increased $15, 200 600.
Since 1880, 446 miles of railway have been
completed, and the railroad earnings in 1887
were g., 500, 900 in excess of those Of that
year, while the value of railroad property
has more than doubled in the past eight
years.
The value of the products Of the State in
1850 was $54, AS, 707, and in 1870 S43, 49,
07G, but from that time the State began 10
recover from the effects of the war, and in
1880 the value Of its products was S72 522,
400, while in 1887 it was $lOl ,GS2, $50.

withstanding the complaints Of hard times
by the farmers, the State is steadily grow

time that the Chaplain was not sending up
