THURMAN'S HONESTY.

How the Old Roman Defeated Jay Gould
and the Bold Lobby.
One of the chief acts of Judge Thur
mans Senatorial career was the secur-
ing of the passage of the Pacific Rail-
road Sinking Fund act. It will be re-
membered that the efforts of Gould and
Huntington were concentrated upon
the Senate. Stanley Matthews had
charge of the bill. Gould and Hunt
ington were in Washington in person.
Gould had chosen to dismiss for time
his parliamentary agents." and had
himself undertaken the task of calling
personally on Senators and endeavor-
ing to convince them by the ingenious
and plausible arguments of which he
is master to support the amendments
which would practically nullify the
Thurman bill.
The agents OF Gould and Hunting
ton sat in the marble room OF the
Senate, to which, under the rules OF
that body, they could have access only
by the introduction of some Senators.
They were confident Of forty votes
to defeat the bill. Senator Thurman
expected to pass the bill by midnight.
There were Indications Of an at
tempt at filibustering by its OPP
pOnents and many amendments
had been offered. Mr.. Thurman
was seen to have upon his desk
roll-call OF the Senate. He rose and

A Chart showing the Progressive Changes
by states Since 1879.
Mr. Samuel j. Tilden, before his
nomination for the Presidency, be-
lieved that the country had become
Democratic, and fixed 1872 as the date
OF the change. The results in 1875 and
since show the accuracy Of his calcula-
tions. Fourteen States have given
their electoral votes to the Democratic
candidates in the elections OF 1876,
1880 and 1884, and II have been Demo-
cratic in both 1880 and 1884, while In
1884 the number OF Democratic States
had increased to 20.
The Democratic gain in States with
resulting Republican loss has been
steady since 1876. In that year 81
States were counted for Hayes as against
IL for Tilden; in 1880 1t was q tie be-
tween Hancock and Garfield, 10 States
voting for each; in 1884 Blaine had only
18 States against 20 for Cleveland.
The States that have voted the Re-
publican National ticket without q
break" since 1860, are Illinois, Iowa,
(Kansas since 1860, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, (Ne-
braska since 1868. and Nevada since
1860, New Hampshire, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Wisconsin-12 without Kansas, Ne
braska and Nevada, which have been
Republican in all National elections
since their admission as States. Cali
fornia has been Republican since 1860,
except in 1880; and Oregon except in
1868.
The States which either were or be-
came Democratic in 1876, and have re-
mained 80, are Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, (Florida counted for Hayes),
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana counted
for Hayes), Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina,
(South Carolina counted for Hayes),
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West
Virginia-14, without Louisiana, Flor
ida and South Carolina. New Jersey
has been Democratic since 1860, ex-
cept in 1872. New York voted for the
Democratic ticket in 1868, 1876 and
1884. Connecticut and Indiana were
Democratic in 1876 and 1884; and
Nevada and California in 1880. The

MANS TRUE CHARACTER.

It Is Frequently Called Forth Only by
MOmentous Emergencies.
Great emergencies call forth the
great soul. War in the twinkling of
an eye turns village drunkards and
pettifogging lawyers into Generals and
statesmen. Love transforms Cymon
from a brute into man. Necessity
makes Shakespeare u dramatist; acci-
dent reveals to Scott his true powers.
The most commonplace men and women
have passed through the fools para
disc Of love, when they were divine be-
ings worshiping divinity, and in that
FOOLS paradise, they for a brief moment
found their true selves, saw deep into
the soul Of their consort. That fitting
dream was in truth an awakening, the
brief opening OF the spiritual eye.
When the world of facts has passed
away, our dreams may remain. The
man OF common sense asks for
realities, the poet knows that only
illusions are true. Look you, the man
whom you hate are there not women
who worship him, children who look
up to him? Who secs the true man
you who hate him, or they who love
him? Love is divine delight; 1t
reaches out over and around its object
into the illimitable; it is part Of the
Over-Soul, Of the Infinite, OF God.
Hatred is painful. It strains and racks
the body, it blinds the vision, it makes
man conscious OF his mortal limitations.
Love sees the virtues that are Of the
soul; hatred only the diseases OF the

Senator Ingalls,, in proffering his adj
vice to the delegates attending the Chi
cago convention, laid it down as inn
perative that the Vice Presidential cam
didate should be "some fellow like
Phelps, of New Jersey, who could
reach the conservative forces Of the
East and get contributions from the
manufacturers and Wall street." And
thereupon the convention nominated
Levi p Morton.
The other day Mr.. Estee. on behalf
Of the Republican Committee, notified
Mr.. Morton that he had been selected by
the convention as its candidate be-
cause of his "eminent fitness" and
there is no doubt that he fully comes
up to the Ingalls, standard. He has q
"bar'l' of his own, and, instead Of
saying: go on" he can say: "Come
on, boys" which was the old farmers 8
rule for getting work out Of his men.
The soldier who can lead is better
officer than him who orders his men
forward but lags behind himself. So
that a blind man can see Mr.. Morton's 9
"eminent fitness for his position.
1t is the first time in the history OF
parties that wealth has been copsid-
cred the prime qualification for this
great Office. If statesmen have not al
ways been chosen, the candidates have
generally been men of high ability,
who could expound the doctrines Of
the party from the stump with force
and effect. It has been the duty OF
candidates for the Vice-Presidency to
lead in the campaign in this way. But
never before have they been picked
out for their mere money-getting
power. To such degradation has a
great party come through becoming
the tool OF mOnopOlists and trusts.
1t will be sorry day for American
liberty when wealth alone is the
avenue to public oifice. The mere
mention Of it should bring blush to
every patriots cheek. And yet every
body knows that 1t was because OF his
wealth that Morton was nominated

Something About the Manners and Gus
toms OF It's People,
The climate of Jamaica surprised me,
for though very hot in the sun, 1t Is SO
tempered by the land and sea breeze that
in the houses the thermometer rarely
rises above ninety-nve degrees; some-
times in the winter season sinking as
low as sixty-five. It much resembles
the summer climate Of Virginia, though
much damper, to which fact Is due a
great deal Of the malaria and the terri
BILE rheumatic fever which prevails. In
the rainy season the dampness pours In
through the 'jealousies," Of which the
sides OF the rooms are principally
built, and which rarely close tightly.
The books on the tables mould, ones
shoes become covered with mildew,
and kid gloves are soon too spotted to
wear, unless kept in . closely stoppered
bottle.
The houses are without means OF be-
ing warmed in any way, as they are
built without chimneys or fire-places.
This is general rule, though believe
in the parish OF st. Anne's on the north
side OF the Island, where there Is a
good deal of rainfall, some few houses
are built with chimney, and one room
has fireplace. The kitchen, which
is always an outside cabin, Is also
minus chimney; an elevated sort OF
range or hob is built out into the floor,
on which the cooking is done, some-
times by means Of charcoal. but oftener
with brushwood and smaller sticks, the
smoke escaping through q hole in the
roof.
There is generally an old-fashioned
brick oven outside for baking bread,
but it is seldom used, as few families
now bake their own bread. They buy
it If near or in village from baker 9
cart which makes its rounds In the
country from the nearest store where
it can be procured fresh twice week.
Many households do without the article
altogether, or only get enough to serve
with "early morning coffee" small
bit Of toast being put with each cup.
They use in its place some of the sub
stitutes which are classed under the
one generic term, "bread kind" These
consist of boiled or baked yam, roasted
breadfruit, potatoes, rice, cooked un-
ripe plantains, ''bammee" and seas
sava cakes," both OF which are breads
made from the grated manioc root
from which tapioca is also prepared.
Wheat is not raised in Jamaica, and
the price of the imported flour OF a
very ordinary grade is fourteen dollars
per barrel. Owing to the ravages OF
insects and mould it keeps badly. The
meals are arranged as in France, early
coffee in your bedroom at six; at eleven
q. M, ''second breakfast" a meal like
their "dejeuner la fourchette," much
resembling lunch, and at which there
is no tea or coffee, consisting prin-
cipally of ''curries'' and 'devils," with
fruit, vegetables and bread kind.
Dinner is the next meal, at six o'clock.
This is q meal of several courses,
usually beginning with the inevitable
Jamaica "pepper-pot," or turtle soup.
and winding up with delicious pine
apples, oranges or mangoes. After
dinner, coffee is served in the drawing
room, and some few English families
keep up the custom of afternoon tea.-

CHANGE IN MATTER.
Though It May Be Rendered Invisible, It
Can Never BE Lost.

Can Never BE Lost.
In chemical operations, whether nat
ural or artificial, matter is often ''lost
to sight," but the veriest tyro has
learned, as one of the fundamental
axioms of science, that it can never be
actually lost or destroyed. In it's mani
fold mutations 1t often disappears from
our vision; but it reappears, or can be
made to reappear, as palpable to our
sense as before. If a piece of silver be
put into nitric acid, clear and color
less liquid. it is rapidly dissolved, and
we ''see it no more" The solution
may be mixed with water, and appar-
emily no effect is produced. Thus, in a
pail OF water we may dissolve fifty dol
lars worth of silver, not pacticle OF
which can be seen. Not even the
chemist, unless he should apply cer-
tain tests to detect it's presence, would,
by merely looking at the liquid, guess
what hidden wealth it contained. Other
metals, as we know, can be treated in
similar ways with the same result.
When charcoal and many other sub
stances are burned, they disappear as
completely, no visible ashes even being
left from the combustion. In fact,
every material which is visible can,
by certain treatment, be rendered in
visible. Matter which In one state OF
condition is perfectly Opaque, and
will not permit a ray Of light to pass
through it, will in another form be-
come perfectly transparent. The
cause of this wonderful change in mat
ter is utterly inexplicable. Philoso-
pherssnay say that it is due to some
Attenuation in the position or arrange
ment Of atoms or molecules; but atoms
and molecules, however confident we
may be concerning their existence and
the laws that govern their mutual at
fractions and repulsions, are absolutely
beyond the reach OF our senses. We
may see the substances they form, we
may guess at changes they undergo;
but we can not see them, or do any,
thing more than guess what they really
are. We do know, however. that mat
tor is Observation-Disclosures, at least. that
We have no evidence that it can be de-
str0yed. The substances dissolved in
water or burned in the air are not
annihilated or lost; by certain we'll
known means they can be recovered
and restored to sight; some In exactly
the same state Us before their invisi-
bility. others In some other state or
condition in which we none the less
surely recognize them. On the brightest
and sunniest day, millions Of tons Of
black charcoal In an invisible condi-
tion are floating in the air. Millions
OF plants are Ut the same time restoring
1t to visible form by the chemical pro-
cesses going on In the tiny laboratory
OF every leaf that expands In the sum
shine. In the course OF time the leaf.
or the wood 1t elaborates by its deli
cate alchemy, may be burned; and this
cycle OF change may 60 on indefinitely,
the matter becoming visible and invisi-

A COLONY OF LEPERS.
The Island Set Apart for Their Use by the
Hawaiian Government.

The leper community is on the
island of Molokaia, in the Hawaiian
archipelago. On this island are q
number of precipitous peaks, and at
the base of one of these, which
is three thousand feet high. lie the
Kaluapapa plains, stretching seaward,
and wholly withSlt communication
with the rest of the island, except by
sea, as the wall of rock stretches on
either side to the water's edge. To
this plain, thus isolated by nature, all
lepers are banished as soon as the first
symptoms of the disease appear. This
settlement was formed by order Of the
King in 1866, for it was found that in
spite of stringent commands to secure
the isolation OF individual cases, these
could not be carried out while the lep-
ers were allowed to live with their
families and friends. Outside of the
fact that the lepers are debarred from
any direct communication with non.
infected persons, no restriction is laid
upon them. Their village, which has
usually an average Of about eight hum
dred inhabitants, has its churches,
schools, and stores as the other vii
lagos have, and also Government offices.
The Government provides all with
shelter, necessary clothing. and daily
rations Of good food, for all luxuries
they must depend upon their own re-
sources or the generosity OF friends.
Medicine and the attendance Of u ply.

which also appropriates $2O, 900 a year,

given for every instance Of actual cure
