Matter of Boards and Mustaches.

A downtown barber, who is now
shaving the faces and curling the hair
of a second generation of New York
merchants, had this to say about
boards this morning.
'But small proportion of men now
have smooth faces. Mustaches and
boards are so common that five sup
positi are made in the case of a
man who wears no beard-namely thai
he cannot raise one, that he is clergy
man, that he is an actor, that he is a
relic of dead and gone generation, OF
that he is an eccentric.
so imperative is fashion now that
one must give reasons for appearing
with a smooth shaven face, whereas "a
generation ago one had to give a
reason for wearing a mustache. Those
were the days when mustaches were
scarcely worn except by foreigners
and military officers, and even then
by them but rarely. For an American
in civil life a mustache was complete
disguise.
Il remember the case of a young
man who entered the ministry and
took church in a thriving town. He
had been, prior to his call to theologic-
al pursuits, extremely fond of the
drama, and the old BoNry Theatre was
his favorite haunt One time when in
town he so far yielded to temptation as
to put on false mustache and 90 to
the theatre, where he spent an even
ing in entire delight
las he was coming out however, he
met some old friends who recognized
him and saluted him by name.
Pardon, shentlemen,' said he with
a profound bow, vat you say? l no
spick goot Inglss very WE'LL His
friends apologized and passed on.
They might have known, of course,
that only a foreigner would wear a
beard on his upper lip, and the mus
tached clergyman escaped. "-NeU

Ten Per Cent.

A Madawska clothing dealer in the
last month of the last year took bust.
ness vacation trip to Portland, says
the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, and
dropped into one of the largest whole
sale clothing houses in the city to pur-
chase ready-made goods. He pur-
chased goods to the amount of $3.50,
and asked for credit. TIE Madan aska
clothing man was a good-looking, fell
low, and the Portland wholesaler
trusted him. This week the Madaw-
aska tailor came to Portland, paid his
$3.50, bought $500 worth of clothing,
and asked for time again. The pro-
prietor called him into his private
office and said:
Five hundred dollars is quite a
bill?"
Yes"

place to inquire little into your fnan-
cial standing. that's all"
''Quite right. quite right"
AT what profit do you sell these
goods in Madawaska?'

them on trust, and you find poor

to sell you goods unless you pay"
The MadOwaska man stared at the
Portland wholesaler and said: 81
guess you don't reckon 10 per cent
profit here in Portland the way we do
in Madawaska- When l pay YOU 81
for an article Madawaska pays me $40
for it"
Sell you? Well, guess we'll sell
you all the goods you want, my friend.
I'd trust you soon as | would the Bank

dealer in trousers, dispatching a clerk
TO pack up the goods.

Cleveland For sure.

The New York Times prints col
umn editorial on President Cleve-
lands chances for denomination. 1t
says:
"The political incidents of the
present make it clear that President
Clevel&nd's name will go before the
convention at St. Louis on the fifth
day of June with scarcely futter of
opposition to his denomination. He
may already fairly be said to be the
only democratic candidate in the
field. Oregon, as a wool growing
state, has been claimed by the few OPP
ponents OF the presidents tariff pol
icy as one of the states in which that
policy would ALLEVIATE the party from
his support, and yet at the canven-
ton Just held at Portland there was
no thought OF any other candidate.
Six unequiyocal Cleveland men were
chosen as the delegates 10 the ma
tional convention and we're In effect
instructed to vote for the presidents
denomination, though instructions
were manifestly unnecessary. More
over, the convention was emphatic
in commencing his tariff policy. and
none were more earnest in its favor
than the representatives of the great
wool growing section in the eastern
part OF the state"
The World claims that the action
of the state committee Of the Empire
state on Thursday last showed be-
yond question that the New York
delegation will go TO St Louis united
in support of the presidents nomin-
alton. The appearance of opposition
to the president in New York, the
World thinks, has been due wholly
to the ambitious designs of Governor
Hill. He had used all the resources
of his office and all the opportunities
of such political leadership as he
could maintain in his party to foster
show OF rivalry for the noRiaation.
The aimsiness Of the opposition, says
the World, has been exposed and yet
it was more substantial than any
thing that has appeared against the
administration Ia any other quarter,

ident's tariff policy. but he has lost

IT is not thought likely that any
Legislation in regard to the admit
lance OF any ofthe territoriesas states
will be matured by passing both
Houses al this session OF Congress.
The Senate now has before 1t q bill
for the admission Of South Dakota,
and it will probably pass that body
by \ strict party vote, but that is as
far as 1t is likely to
get, as the democrats Of the
House have agreed in caucus that
the only territorial legislation of the
session will be the passage OF the
Springer omnibus bill, which provid-
es for the admission of Dakota, Mon
tana, Washington and New Mexico,
but there is no hope tina. the Senate
will pass this bill. The people OF
the territories can blame the repub-
llcans for keeping them out of State
hood.

his hold on the party organization
already, and there is no sign OF pop
ular support for any opposition TO
Cleveland's denomination which he
may represent. We have no doubt
that when the time comes for the
democrats OF Pennsylvania to define
their position they will be found in
accord with the party elsewhere"
The article concludes: "All predic-
tions as to the strength and popu
larity ofthe president are on the way
to fulfillment. He bids fair to be
nominated by reclamation and with
out opposition. No doubt his own
strength in his own party has been
accompanied by some tagging Of
confidence on the part of independ-
ents and reformeIs. They are not
wholly satisfied, but in spite Of the
drawbacks which cause them to
g-ieve there is little prospect of a
choice being presented which will
induce them TO withdraw any of their
support. Cleveland's strength is
due mainly to the honesty, ability
and courage with which he has held
his course at the head of the govern
ment, but it also owes much TO the
fact that the republicans in oppo'
sition have done nothing toward re-
gaining the confidence of the nation
Their petty and carping attitude to,
ward the president and all he does
their obstructive tactics in congress,
their stirring in the cold embers Of
sectional strife, their tendency to ex-
travagant legislation, and their op
position TO any revision Of the mon
strous tariff that absorbs the re-
sources of the people in surplus rev.
enues have helped To unite the dem
ocratic party in support Of a presi-
dent and policy which stand for
something positive and progressive"

IT SEEMS to be pretty certain that
the Mills bill will become q law.
Every true democrat in both houses

few republicans are counted as be-
ing in favor OF it. 1t is high time
that such measure should be
among the laws of our great, rich,
aud prosperous country. We are

and We should also progress in taxa

The gubernatorial party are warm
ing up in their discussions as the
weather becomes hotter. They are
dealing in personalities not at all
complimentary to one another.
These great men should address
themselves to the great issues of the
day and not indulge in rejecting
personalities. There are important
questions enough before the people
OF Arkansas to occupy all the time
and attention of the candidates for
governor.
