That Encircle the Beautiful Thousand
Islands,"
The splendor falls on castle walls.
George M. Pullman twenty-five years
ago paid $40 for an island in the St.
Lawrence river. 1t is one of the Chou
sand Islands, and is situated in the heart
Of beautiful region which since Mr.. Pull
mans purchase has become famous forthe
presence of thousands Of summer oilers
as well as its thousand islands. Upon
this bit Of land, about which there is only
water and forest, temporary residence
was erected, and Mr.. Pullman for many
years has been in the habit of spending
his summers there with his family, and
often a house full of invited guests.
But as the years went by, the river was
taken up by handsome residences; Mr..
Pullman grew richer, his position among
the moneyed kings more exalted and at
last he was made Sir Geo%e Pullman by
his majesty King Humbert of Italy.
The palace car king found the more
modest summer residence far behind his

age the other day, and on that day her
children and her grandchildren, indeed
the Pullman family gathered to dedicate
tho new structure and do honor to the
octogonarian for whom it was intended.
at this meeting, Mr.. Pullman read the
following dedication, which has been en-
crossed and framed and stands on an

about fourteen bedrooms up stairs, which
will doubtless always be occupied when

Many years ago George Pullman was
working at his trade of cabinet maker, at
a stipend much less than he pays many
who work at the same trade for him to-
day. At that time the people Of the
United States who travelled long distances
on railroads, when night came curled
themselves up on the seats, rested their
heads on a gripsack, and by a painful
effort to make a yard suffice for body
from FIVE to six feet long succeeded in
passing the night. Those who have suf-
fered the discomforts of those nights and
the WEAKNESS Of the mornings will never
forget them. The passenger coaches wero
not even the comfortable affairs Of today,
nor were the modern appurtensnces and
mechanical contrivances for knitting the
train together then invented. The cars
were loosely coupled, and every time the
train started the passenger would hear
the starting noise Of each car successfully
in front till it reached his own coach,
which would move with a jerk so sudden
that if he were sitting up he would risk
the swapping off Of his head as farmer

MILLS TALKS.

Congressman Mills, the author of the
Democratic tariff measure, was inter
viewed on the result of the election last
week and he gave it as his opinion that
the tariff question had not bad effect
on the Democratic party in New York
or elsewhere IN the north. The vote in
New Jersey, a great manufacturing
state shows this. Il Think he said,
that in the future or. at least, for
some years to come. we will have to
come west for our presidential candi-
dates. The struggle for the control of
the municipal government of New York
has always been at the expense Of the
national ticket and the debauchery in
cidental TO practically allowing the
mixed population of great city to con
troll in great national contest is not
healthy. Our presidential candidate
must be from the west and he must be
representative of the bone and sinew
of the Democratic people of the coun-
try. The Democratic party has it in
its power to make enough western
states reliably Democratic. so that it
will not be of much Importance which
way the vote of New York goes in a
national issue. We must go on without
halt. 1t is our mission to reduce tar
if taxation and remove the burden OF
the people. We will continue the fight
for tariff reform until the next presi-
dental election and then again force
the issue. The defeat of Cleveland
will have no effect on the policy of the
party on the tariff question"
do you think Cleveland's political
career will end the 4th of MarchY''
Il am not So sure of that. He has a
| strong hold on affairs. the affection and
confidence OF the people, and he may be
/ forced to take the Democratic preSi-
Dental nomination in 1892. One thing
is certain, Cleveland is the only New
York man who can be nominated by
the Democrats"

1t is true to say of him that he did not

that he did not encourage anybody else

did not permit his official subOrdinates

THE IMMENSELY OF 1T.

II would be worse than foolishness to
deny that the political blizzard of last
week was the most reaching and blood
chilling affair in the history of the Dem
ocratic party. The matter of Offices, of
course. is of great concern to the occu-
pants; but aside from that feature there
are questions for the future to consider.
The New York Sun sums up few of
the changes that will occur: With the
transfer of the house of representatives
To the Republicans, there arises the
prospect for an addition to the union of
decisive political importance. We shall
have some new states. The northwes-
tern border touches three communities
which have long been knocking for adj
mission. Dakota, Montana and Wash
lngton territory are ready to come IN.
Montana inclines to Democracy, but
Washington and Dakota are Republi-
can. That would certainly add four
more to the Republican majority in the
senate. and If Montana should become
Republican IL would add six, and if Da-
kota should he divided into two it might
add eight, and besides there are Idaho,
New Mexico and Utah all with aspira-
tons. The Republican strength would
also be ineICased in the house of repre-
sentatives. Another stil, more impOr-
tant result would be the enlargement
Of the Republican majority in the cleo
,Oral college. II would be just so much
harder to elect the next Democratic
president The immensely Of the Re
publican wave has not yet been fully
estimated.

CONFEDERATE MONEY.
Some Stories of the Rapid Depreciation o
the Currency.

Some Stories of the Rapid Depreciation of
the Currency.
According to the Washington correspond
ent of the Louisville COIrieT-Jour7dI a group
of the Southern members of the House
were talking recently on the subject of the
depreciation of Confederate currency
during the last years of the war and
the almost fabulous sums which it became
necessary to pay even for trivial articles
Mr.. Grimes, who represents the Fourth
Georgia district, told couple of stories very
pertinent TO the subject and which greatly
amused his auditors: 'In the latter part of
1868, said Mr.. Grimes, "a young man who
lived in La Grange, Ga, became possessed
of $500 in Confederate money. He was of a
thrifty turn and wanted to add to it, With
that purpose in view, he invested his money
in barrel of whisky. This he sold by the
drink and at the end Of week had disposed
Of the whole barrel, and had Il 200 in hand,
net profit of 500. The young man was
highly elated. He saw his way clear to q
fortune in a short time.
"Of course he decided to buy more WINS
ky at wholesale and sell it by the small
measure, but he had taken into account
the wear and tear which the credit
of the Confederacy had suffered
during the week which it had taken him to
sell out his barrel. When he went to in
vest in another supply he found that he
could not make a purchase similar to his
first one for less than 81, 800 The financial
fluctuations involved in the transaction
knocked him so completely out that he re.
tired permanently from commercial life and
hired himself out as an agriculturist."
When his hearers had finished laughing at
this story, Mr.. Grimes gave them the other
one. ''It was in the same town-La Grange
and in the latter part OF 1864" he said.
zone old gentleman there who had per-
sistsntly predicted the failure of the Con-
federacy, was one day deriding the cur
rency that was then so plentiful and of such
little value. He said that it was so worth
less that nobody would even steal it or pick
1t up If found on the street He pulled
out a $1,000 bill, Confederate money,
Of course, and declared that he could tack il
with pin TO the fence around the Court
house, leave it there five hours and that
nobody would think enough Of it to put it in
his pocket. His offer was accepted The
note was pinned 70 the fence and at the
end Of five hours be and the man to whom
he had been talking went out to see what
there was to be SEEN" Mr. Grimes here
paused.
"WeIl?" inquired Mr.. Allen, of Missis-
sIppl.
"The $l,O00 note was there" replied Mr.
Grimes, ''and pinned beside it was another
Confederate bill, the denomination of which
was 5000"
This ended the seance

AS TO COY. HILL.

Democrats and Republicans WHO are
now going about predicting that Gov
Hill, of New York, will be the nominee
of the Democratic party in 1892, may
rest assured that such Will not be the
case. New York Will not be consulted
or considered in making the next nom
ination. Ithad Greeley and Tilden and

New York safe for the nominee, il

when the wool is sticking in its teeth;
when the blood of its murdered victim
IS On its claws; when it smells of cor.

Mr.. Hill is the man for 1892.
In the words of the st. Louis Repuh-
lie, apparently Gov. Hill and his
friends imagine that the Democrats of
the country are too stupid to under
stand what has occurred in New York,
or that they will speedily forget it. We
are in position TO assure him that he
is mistaken. The Democrats of the
country at large understand perfectly
that their national ticket was traded off
to defeat in New York City and Brook

and candidate Of the saloons, might be
placed in the governors char. This Is
the damned spot in Gov. Bills rec

comes forward as the candidate of the

his own people because OF the friends he

partly through the lack of those ameni-
ties which go so far to make men strong,
