Racing With Time.

The Melbourne Telegraph says: "We
are living in an age of miracles without
being aware of it. Within two hours of
the time of the first innings of the Aus
tralians VS.. Oxford University cricket
match closing, the Telegraph, recording
the event, was selling in the streets of
Melbournei This is feat of telegraphy
that probably beats all former records.
The cricketers closed their innings at
Oxford amid cheers for the wonderful
skill of Ferrissan Turner, and while the
players were still on the ground continu-
ing the contest, the news was flashed
across the body of the planet, put in type,
printed, and distributed in living print
during the advance of hundred and
twenty minutes.-LOndOn Printers Rec

When this is announced by wire the

A STORY OF THE STUMP.
As Told To A Laughing Multitude By A
GubernatOrial Candidate.

Here is a Pennsylvania story as
told on the stump in Wisconsin the
other night by W. D. Hoard, the Re-
publican candidate for governor in
that state:
There lived once in the little city
of Williamsport. Pa. an old Judge OF
the name of Williams. This old
Judge was noted for two things: For
getting mellow occasionally, and for
being plucky and courageous under
all circumstances-a gamy old man.
1t was a popularity of the old Judge
that whenever he got mellow he grew
correspondingly religious. One night
he wandered into protracted revival
meeting and seated himself upon the
front seat, full of spiritual influence
of some kind. The clergyman, en-
gagged in his preaching, rose to a
fervid pitch Of eloquence, and in the
midst of it exclaimed:
"Show me the drunkard! Show me
the drunkard! OF ali men on earth
the most unfortunate; show him to
mer'
To the CONSERVATION of all present
the old judge arose and unsteadily
maintaining himself, exclaimed
"Well, sir. here I am"
The clergyman having realized
upon his investment much sooner
than he anticipated, didn't know what
to do with it. They finally pulled the
old judge down, and the incident ha6
passed out of memory almost, wher
the clergyman again struck an i'm
passioned period, and exclaimed in
the honesty and fervor OF his heart
"Show me the hypocrite! Show mt
the hypocrite! OF all men on God'l
green earth the most despicable
Show me the hypocritew
The judge arose the second tim,
and reaching his cane over to Ger
tain shaky old deacon, exclaimed
Deacon, why the devil don't you ge
up when you are called on?"

HARPER's Weekly is usually a
source of amusement or contempt
This week it is both amusing and con-
temptible. 1t tries to straddle so as to
be at once Republican, Democratic
and mugwump. 1t endorses Presi-
dent Cleveland, opposes the Demo
cratic nominee for governor, and ad.
vises the New York Republicans what
to do. In one editorial column it is
trying to help Mr.. Cleveland; in the
adjoining one it is trying to defeat
him. We have an honest admiration
for sincere opinion, and can overlook
partizan zeal in expressing honest
thought, but such jugglery as Har-
pel'S Weekly tries is mawkish.

MRS. ST4NFOgD,S HOME.

l wish l could Introduce you to Mrs.

G.. Carpenter in the August Cosmopolitan.
Its porlieres are brocaded in gold, in figures
that queen might envy, and beautiful
embroideries, rare curios and wonderful
things, gathered from the four corners OF
the earth, look at you from every side.
wish you could see her diamonds, every
set of which is worth many times the value
of kings ransom, and four sets of which,
it is stated in the newspapers, cost 5000 900.
/ wish | could paint her magnificent cos
tunes, in which she appears at the White
House receptions, and could at the same
time show you the unostentatious democ-
racy and kindness of heart which she dis
plays toward all with whom she comes in
contact. She is a tall, stately lady, well
formed and well rounded. She believes in
doing good with ber money, and her acts
of charity are more numerous than the
world is aware OF. 1t was kind thing to
give one of her handsomest dinners to the
boy pages of the United States Senate, and
it is wise charity which she and her hus-
band are engagedin-the giving of $40 600,
600 to found a university in California
Neither she nor Senator Stanford publish
their charities, and / hear of kind things
every day which they do for deserving peo-
pie.
Mrs. stanford's receptions are largely at
tended, and during the past winter She has
given many fine dinners. Atone of her re-
ceptioDs General CRAFTS widow received

hatred Generals fill witE tears as they shook

Our in Idaho at Boise City, they had a
Democratic Territorial Convention on the
23d instant. 1t was the strangeSt of gath
erings. The bodywanted to nominate a Mr.
Burke for Delegate to Congress, but Mr.
Burke had expressed himself openly, pri-
vately and in print, as opposed to the St
Louis platform, root and branch, as well as
to the Mills bill, and as in favor of main
tanning the tariff on lead and of the re-
monitization of silver. The Convention
agreed with Mr.. Burke, but it was Dem
ocratic body, and thus swung between
party fealty and honest conviction in a
most embarrassing way. James II. Hawley
was finally nominated The Committee
on Resolutions made report swallowing
the st. Louis platform. with a gulp and
and terribly wry face, members alter
nately derisively smiling and cursing their
luck" Before the Convention adjourned
Mr.. Burke made strong protection
speech, plainly warning the Conven-
tion that because of the tariff issue neither
Mr.. Hawley nor the Democratic party
could carry any two out of any six coun-
ties in northern Idaho. Then the Con-
yention adjourned much after the manner
of funeral.

In another case the Philadelphia Court
punished defendant for selling liquor on
Sunday, and for selling without license,
$500 and six months imprisonment, and
$50 and six months of confinement. The
sentiment of the people of Philadelphia is
so strong in support of the high license
law, and so determined concerning its
enforcement, that it is now conceded the
law cannot be broken down and viii not be
repealed. The same sentiment, somewhat
modified in its manifestations, prevails in
Illinois, and in several other States. 1t is
evident that the movement for control and
regulation is gaining greatly, and its pro-
pulsiye power is steadily augmenting. It
is safe to say that before another half de-
cade has passed it will have taken hold
upon the majority of the States of the

COURAGEOUS NEW YORK REPUBLI-
CANS.

The Republican party in the State of New
York has testified anew to the capacity and
readiness of the party to meet every great
issue affecting civilization, and that at all
relates to the perpetuity of American in
stitutions. The New York Republicans
have struck out with no uncertain vigor in
the direction indicated by the national
platform to be the drift of the party in
matters concerning the liquer traffic.
The National Convention pledged the
party sympathy, which is equivalent to
party action in proper time, for every wise
movement to conserve the sobriety of the
people and the purity of the home Now
come the Republicans of the Empire State
and declare that the Democratic Admins
tration of that State has placed itself
squarely across the path of reform and pro-
gress, in obstructing the effort to regulate
and control the liquor traffic. They de-
clare that it is wise and economic to put
upon the outlaw whisky a greater share of
the burdens of Government due to its infu-
ence. These courageous Republicans do
not fear to pledge the party TO taxation Of
the liquor traffic in such degree as viii lift
some of the heavy burdens of taxation
from the homes of the land. Those doubt
ing Republicans, who have feared to pro-
nounce upon a question that is to-day agi-
tating the entire Union, may take courage
from the party platform adopted at Sara
toga.
The party is nothing if not progressive /;
1t sees, what every thinking man knows is
inevitable, that the traffic must be put
under greater control Or it will rule party
and nation, and the most immediate di-
rect and feasible method of the present it
declares to be visitation upon liquor of a
greater share of the burdens of taxation
in other words, high license. 1t was this
sentiment that gave birth to the organiza-
tion known as the anti-saloon Republi-
cans. The latter, a body of courageous
and far-seeing men, are content with the
declaration in the national platform, and
are to-day working shoulder to shoulder
for the success of the national party.
They were strong in the Saratoga Conyen-
ton, and the platform proves that their
influence was potent.
The platform is no less fearless upon the
question of assisted immigration and the
protection of American labor and institu-
tions by putting up the bars against the
influx of criminal, pauper and cheap-labor
immigration. This declaration is supple
mented by a resolution declaring that the
need is pressing for the revision of the
naturalization laws and the correction of
abuses under the present system. These
statutes are not observed in letter or in
spirit. 1t is easier to-day to become an
American citizen without qualification for
that distinction or comprehension of the
duties it involves, than it is to deed by
quit claim the least of realty possessions
The New York Republicans, by their plat
form, have given the best of reasons for
the existence of the party, and have
borne witness to the fact that its mission,
so far from being ended, is as yet but in
the bud.

DENNIS KEARNEY, the travelling side
show of the Democratic menagerie, is de-
claiming from odd street corners against
General Harrison, denouncing him as pro-
Chinese. The charge is not worthy Of
much notice in the face of the facts; but
it is noticeable that Kearney has nothing
to say about Mr.. Cleveland While he
does not speak about him, he was dead
silent concerning his candidacy. Kearney
is probably crippled by that celebrated in
