the fact toat they are one of the
most powerful OF moral and re-
ligious factors. There are 1918 branch
associations in ss many cities Of I United

each is co siderable, and is composed Of
young men who are among the most
intelligent and energetic OF tlose
in the different cities. Many of
the branch ASSOCIATIONS have read

very popular. The work is carried on not

among negroes and the Indians
Some very q .uldings have been
erected by the associations, among the

Although this is what is known as an off
year in politics. some Of the elections which
VIII be held in 1899 VIII be Of more thai
local interest. Nine states will hold cleo
tions. These are Iowa, Kel ucky, Mary
land, Massachusetts, New YORK. New Je--
sey, Pc nsylyania, Oaio aad Virginia. 1t
may be assn ned that Iva, Massach usetts
and Pennsylvania will 90 republican.
and that Kentucky, Maryland, New
Jersey and Virginia will 90 democratic.
In New jersey and Virginia, how
ever, the republicans profess to have hope,
of success; in New Jersey because of alleged
dlsafection among the democrats, and in
Virginia because of the protection senti-
ment. In the last named state the repub-
hcans will doubtless make a strong effort
to elect their candidates. and il is thong It
that they will have the support of the fed
eral government. Virginia has been a
some hat close state il elections lately.
There is no; a great al IF harmony among
the Virginia republicans, however, and, on
the other hand, the dsE-ocratS appear to be
in good lighting trim.
While it is conceded that New York will
elect republican legislature, considerable
interest viii proba ~ be felt in the atti-
tn lie, as expire. sei at the polls, OF the voters
OF that state to yard the me nber, of the
late legislature who voted to ''whitewash''
people connected with the ceiling fraud.
The Ohio legislature, TO be elected next
fall, will choose a successo- to Senator
Payne. Both parties will make a vigor-
Gus effort to obtain a majority of the mem
bers, and the result is very uncertain. 1t
was stated sometime ago that Senator
Payne would not be a ca idi late for re-
election, but the BELIEF now is that he will.
Besides these state elect ons, the terri
tories which will 50 On be ad 1T Ell as states
will elect state officers legislatures and con-
greSsmen.

On the Anxious Bench

There are 5000 applicants for the $50
consulates within the gift Of the President.
Only about fifty Of them pay over 81, 500
yea The great majority of them pay
only 81 900.
1t is PROBABLE that there will not be 200
changes in the consular service altogether.
There are no applicants for a great many
of the places The government is glad to
get any responsible person to accept them.
In many # the best places there are replb-
icans who were not removed by Mr..
Cleveland, aud who will not
be disturbed by this administration. In
other good place, here are democrats who
will not be removed. They have SUCH good
records that it would lie a mist AXE to recall
then. Alb ut all the remaining places th t
are desirable have been promised tofayored
applicants. The outlook for the great
majority of the 5000 therefore is not a

during a rain storm a few days ago in a street
car. Just as we entered Broad street two
ladies, one young and very prettly dres ed, the
OF 3er middle-aged majron, got il the car
The rain had come up rather suddenly. AID the
ing lady had turned up her dress skirt until
her underskirts showed 10 the waist TIE sight
was littl spectacular. but I thought nothing
Of it until the two ladies got out Just before
reaching Spruce street. Then another party
Of ladies'. ated over in an opposite cor

The men in the ranks can hardly find
much in the army that IS pleasant. They
desert about as fast as they are enlisted.
The majority Of those who enlist think they
are going TO have a. easy time. TIE
rapidity with which men get out of the
army $40 that they are mistaken.
Senator Plumb recently Published some
figures which how that since Oct. 10, 1878,
40 39l men of the enlisted service hav
desc ted. AMI Of this number only abou,
$3.50 nave returned TO the serv. &C by sur
render or arrest" It is possible that the
authorities viii not get many Of the ZOO
who are at large.
T ere are ouly 25, 700 men in the army.
The deserters, therefore, outnumber the
soldiers in the service TIE Presd Mt is
being urg- d to pardon all the deserters.
Presiden, Grant Issued an amnesty procla-
nation xteen years ago. The effect of it
seems to have been bal. because the
de ertions since that proclamation was
sued mas been greater than they were be-
fore that time.
1t has been alleged that great improve
meuts have been made in the cond ton of
the common soldier .ithin the last twelve
years. If tina be the So it would be- well
for the President TO appoint a commission
to find out why so many desert He ought
to do this before hardening the deserters.

NV Yark city lie resisted the desire Of his
friends to do him honor public event of
this kind, and it was only after
tie Young Mems Democratic Cub
had as ured him that the pro-
posed dinner was for the purpose Of show
ing their persona friendship and admira-
ton for him, and that it would no be a
political affair, at he conse ted TO il. He
had hardly consented, however, when those
democratic newspapers which do not ad-
mire him joined the republican press IN de-
claring that the event was intended to
ing him forward as the democratic can
didate for President in 1892, and by their
course they have apparently given polit-
ical Significance TO what was intended as
merely formal welcome to him as citi-
zen Of New York.
These ne .vspapers have never ceased to
sttsca Mr. Ciey land since he was a caudi-
dale for President in 1854. They attacked
him then, they attacked him throughout
his administration, and theA are attack <
him now. They evidently recognize that
he is strong with the people, and that
defeat as not caused hi.n to lose
friends. They fear him, and vita
cause. There is very little doubt
that if the democratic national
convention were to be held now he could
be nominated again, and 1t is quite certain
that he you'd maze better race than he
did last year, wh-n he received a popular
majority Of $4,000. The enthusiastic man
