Decay OF Democratic Ascendency.

The New York san attributes the
decay of Democratic ascendency in the
National House of Representatives to
the thrice-repeated election of Mr.
Carlisle as Speaker. Mr.. Carlisle is a
free-trader, and majority of the peo-
pie of this country are not free-traders.
Indeed, were the race question elm
mated from Southern politics, not even
in the Southern tier could a majority
be polled in favor of free-trade adj
ministration, nor mere tariff for
revenue only administration. When
Carlisle first was elected Speaker there
was Democratic majority of seventy
three in the lower house, the next gen.
eral election of Congressman reduced
it to forty, the next to fifteen, and the
elections of 1888 returned a Repub-
lican majority. What" says the
Sun, Caused this decline and fall Of
the Democracy if not the policy pur-
sued by its dominant elements persist
emily, and in spite of all protestation
and warning?" What, indeed?

Will They Keep IL Up.

The mugwumps pretend TO have q
very cordial feeling of goodwill toward
President Harrison, and disposition
to give his administration fair trial
Harper's Weekly, speaking for them,
says:
Despite the turbulence OF party spirit there
never more significant force of public
opinion in the Union not of partisan cast than
at this time. There never so large body of
voters whose votes were thrown against Pres
ident, but who are so prepared to Judge his adj
Illustration with perfect good feeling and with
out prejudice, that which now exists in this
country. President Harrison will find no body
of his fellow citizens fairer in their Judgments
more considerate OF the difficulties of his posi-
tion more disposed To sustain every endeavor
for honest administration than those who, from
differing convictions upon questions of national
policy, opposed his election.
There is one word in this extract of
goodwill to the President and two
words to impress him with the mug
wumps' estimate of their own impor-
lance They want him to think that
they are the mighty power in this
country that can turn and overturn.
But they will not deceive any one as to
their own littleness. Instead of hold
ing the balance of power between the
two great parties, they are of so little
Importance that they were completely
lost sight of in the last great national
shuttle. Their words are very smooth
and honeyed now, but it is not in the
nature of the mugwump to be pleased
long with any administration of
force and character. They are too
egotistical for that. 1t will. be inter
esting to see how long their pre-
tended disposition to give the new adj
ministration a fair trial will be kept
up.-IolUa Relister.

: Eating with the Fingers.

How much there is in habit and
trainingl 1t is considered the height
of ill-breeding to take up food with the
fingers, and yet there are nations
that eat with their fingers, and de-
fend the practice on the ground OF
cleanliness.
Excuse me-" said Malay gentle
man to his American guest, but /
don't see how you can eat with a fork. y
II beg your pardon, said the guest,
"but was about to make the same re-
mark about your fingers"
MY fingers, replied the Malay, "are
certainly clean, because / see to them
myself; but how can you be sure of a
fork?"
The American had nothing to say.
What would you have said?
