A shipwreel, stor.y.

Hero is a shipwreck story which is told
by gentleman now a resident Of Denver.
Colo, who for many years was officer Of
a whaling vessel AT one time,n he says, IL
was mate Of a whaler IN the Okohtsk sea.
One day was off sailing in one of the ships
boats with three Of the crew. One OF them
was an Irishman ! was at the tiller. The
weather was cold and squally, and / must
have been careless, for a puff came along and
she keeled over before had time to let go
the sheet.
I'VE scrambled up on the bottom Of the
boat and waved our hands to the only vessel
in sight, about half a mile of. Boys, that
was pretty tight fix The tide was ebbing
fast and there was ice all around. II that
vessel didn't see us it was good day The
three men with me began TO shout, although
there was no earthly USE, for the vessel was
too far away to windward. / saw they were
getting ratified, and / sung out; For Gods
sake stop that noise. You'll only wear your
selves out and there's no show to be heard.
Keep cool boys. keep COOL
" 'Begorra,' spoke up the Irishman, if we
stay here much longer Wen be cool enough
Fortunately the vessel saw us.n
Thus it happens that the genial Irishman
win have his little joke even when the sur
roundings do not happen to be so pleasant as
they might BET. l.. NJ.

It is a great review of the people. On the
whole, how respectable they are, how sober,
how deadly duh See how worn out the poor
girls are becoming; how they gape; what
listless eyes most Of them havel The stoop in
the shoulders so universal among them merely
means oyertoil in the worllroom. Not one in
a thousand shows elements Of taste in dress
vulgarity and worse glares in all but every
costume.
Observe the middle aged women; it would
be small surprise that their good looks had
vanished, but whence comes 1t they are ami
NAL, repulsive, absolutely vicious in uglinessl
Mark the men in their turn; four in every
five have visages so deformed by i'll health
that they excite disgust; their hair is cut
down to within half an inch of the scalp;
their legs are twisted out Of shape by evil con
ditions of life from birth upward.
One Of the livelier groups is surging hith-
erward: here we have frolic; here we have
humor. The young man who leads them has
been going about all day with the lining OF
his hat turned down over his forehead; for
the thousandth time those girls are scream
ing with laughter at the sight of him. Hal
hal He has slipped and fallen upon the floor
bis companions treat him like q horse that
is down In the street. "Look out for his
'eelsl" cries one; and another, "Sit on his
'edln II this doesn't come to an end we shall
die Of laughter. One Of the party is
an unusually tall man. "When are you
comm down to have look at usln cries a
pert lass as she skips by him.-The Neither

negro poll-tsxs here VIII be the same
ground swell that Mahoneism has
created in Virginia. 1t is impossible
for party to preserve pablo confidence
when il treats the public as the Republi-
can party treats the people Of Delaware.
Senator Higgins had it in his power to
create some favorable sentiment for his
party. His own party papers confess
that he has abused and neglected
his opportunity and the Morning News
has declared that respectable Republicans
must suffer in silence" They are not
bad enough to defend Senator Higgins's
appointments aud not brave enough to
oppose them. When the opportunity
arrives TO express an opinion of the de
generacy Of the grand old party" Of dis
used moral ideas" the people Of Delaware
will say that it is untrustworthy, incap
able and composed Of elements which are
dangerous to the common wealth. Higgins
ism is only milder type Of Mshoneism.
The principle is the same.

CONGRATULATIONS

This is the day for the marriage of
ex Secretary Bsyard to Miss Clymer Of
Washington. The long residence Of Mr.
Bayard here, the distinguished and hon
orable record OF his family, his own
strong and admirable personal character
and splendid career, his handsome person
and courtly manners have endeared
him to the people with a peculiar and
very strong attachment. The people
recognize Mr.. Bsysrd as an able, pure
aud patriotic statesman. They know that
personally he is a paragon Of courtesy
and kindliness. Hence the people Of
Wilmington and the people Of Delaware
wish him happy marriage
with ali the heartiness which
their admiration prompts and his
virtues deserve. All the old shoes and
ali the rice in Delaware thrown after
she distinguished couple would not ex
press the good wishes Of the people.

How He s1aas rive Dollars.

The easy manner in which people may be
humbugged, and the great power that curl
osity can exert, is illustrated in little story
told by DR.. Richardson this morning. He
told of a man who owned SOW and pigs
ordinary scrub stock. He placed one Of the
pigs in box and carried it to town, and
with a mysterious air intimated that the box
contained a great curiosity. His friends were
anxious 70 get peep into the box, but he
persistently refused 70 let any one look into
it. Finally, one mans curiosity was SO great
that he offered q small amount for the privi-
lege Of looking into the box. While disput-
ing about it, others made sisailar offers, until
five dollars was secured. The owner then
reluctantly consented for the box to be
opened. when 10 and behold il was an ordi-
nary little pig People love to be hum
bugged, and the man not only made five
dollars, but was more popular than ever

Baltimore Sun.
The Campbells are not only coming.
but they have actually arrived in Ohio.
and who will care for Foraker now?
Beaten for governor he will not make
good timber for Presidential candidate.
and at one fell blow the hopes of the
red flag statesman are shattered for
years to come. And as II his reflections
were not already bitter enough. that
very lively and facetious old Roman.
Allen Cranberry Thurman. whose
wit never seems to grow old
must administer a sly dig in the
ribs Of the fallen brave by the following
telegram to Grover Cleveland ed Foraker
has surrendered all the Republican flags
in Ohio Joseph Benson Foraker's chief
claim TO fame having hitherto consisted
in his denunciation Of Mr. Cleveland for
his alleged intention to return a few Con-
federate battle-hags, Mr.. Thurman's q
satiricsi reference to Joseph's ignomini-
GUS defeat in a state that gave Harrison
nearly 20 600 majority in 1888 is the
''m0st unkindest cut of all. Mr.. Foraker's 3
violent attack on Mr. Cleveland NAV
have had something to 90 with his
surrender Of the Republicans haps"
at this election, as the people Of
Ohio may very naturally have been
disgusted by his extreme and undignifed
utterances. Thus curses come home TO
roost, aud the whirligig Of time brings in
his revenges. Other politicians Of the
Foraker stripe, who imagine that per-
sonal vituperation is argument and that
abuse of opponents IS the highest order
Of logic, may well ponder on this story OF
the Ohio statesman and the flags and
learn a wiser and better way. > =

the Legislature materially reduced Ohio
Democratic, as respects both the gov
ernorship aud the Legislature and even
Iowa, fortress OF Rfpublicanism, cap
tured by the Democratic candidate for
governor-such is the catalogue of Demo
cratic successes Tuesday for which the
supporters OF the tariff and pension
policy Of the present administration have
to explain. The country is not,
1t is clear, content with the conduct
of affairs at Washington and the tend
encies exhibited by the party in power.
The raising of the tariff by executive
rulings and scandalous extravagance Of
the pension bureau, the disregard Of the
civil service pledges of the Chicago plat
form, the Southern policy" of the
President. the sectional legislation pro-
posed by the ma iority of the House, the
increased waste OF the public domain
these are considerations that have doubt
less weighed heavily with the voters.
There is, besides. general and
isting tariff is a burden no
longer TO be borne. A disposition to
punish the benefclaries Of the frauds by
which the elections OF 1888 were carried
in certain States may also have had its
effect Add TO this that il was imprac.
ticable for Mr. Quay to apply this year in
many States the cash system by which
he last year carried the two States recog-
niled as pivotal" The cash was not in
his chest, and If he had had it he could
not have scattered it with any profit over

Corydon, Ind, boasts a historical elm tree
under whose spreading branches tradition
has it that "A session Of the Indiana territorial
legislature was held. 1t is known that an
extra session Of the legislature was held at
Corydon during a summer while Indiana was
a territory. 1t is also believed that the tree
was then large enough to shelter such a body,
and as it stood upon a cool, mossy bank near
a spring, and only a short distance from the
Capitol, it is quite probable that the members
Of the legislature would leave a warm, crowd
Ell room and repair to such a cool spot A
convention was held at Corydon in June, 1916,
for the purpose Of adopting a constitution for
the new state It has been reported that this
convention was held under the famous tree.
Il is a known fact that in later day the
grand jury for the Harrison circuit court
held sessions under the tree. Many visitors
on reaching this place ask to see the historical
tree, and are referred to this spreading elm,
whose body measures 10 feet inches in cir
cumference and between the tips Of the limbs
is a distance Of rs feet.-New York Star.

AFTER bewailing and lamenting the
overthrow Of the Republicans in some
places and their complete rout in other
places the Morning News says:
In other words, all the general politi.
cal influences which operated on Tuesday
must be ascribed to Mr.. HarrisJns ad.
ministration.
The Republicans must recognize the
fact that they have a small man for
President. 1t was hoped that from the
fact Of being a lawyer and an elder
in the Presbyterian church Mr.
Hsrrison's course as President Of
the United States would be shaped
with some regard to intelligence and
probity. But what have we seen. We
have seen nepotism, and the payment OF
political debts In the appointments Tan.
nerism has been rampant, unchecked and
disgraceful The visits Of Quay to the
White House have been frequent, his
advice and that Of Dudley Clarkson and
Platt has been followed. Blaine
has been ignominiously ignored
and the compact with him has been
broken. The President has shown
petty pique against Gresham, one Of the
purest and most able iUrists in the
country, in favor Of his friend Miller,
not pure or able, whom he advocates for
the Supreme Bench. The President, be-
sides numerous small disappointments to
his psrtisans and many unworthy mis-
takes for the country, has finally gone
into an inexcusable, impolitic and
dishonorable alliance with Malone Now
this is not matter in which Republicans
alone are interested Il Is lamentable
that Mr.. Harrison's administration within
eight months has suffered from the scan
dals Of Clarkscn's beheading capacity to
the extent Of 90, 600 removals, from Tan
nerism and now from Mahoneism, defeated
and repudiated. For the sake OF the gen
eral reputation and credit Of the country
somebody ought TO be able TO whisper to
the President that he should not prosti.
tute the greatest Office in the gift of the
country. Somebody should whisper that
he is not the president of Republican
campaign club, but. unfortunately. the
President Of the United States.

IT seems that the country Is not dis
gusted with the free trade" party after
all There was. Campbell Of Ohio, an
emissary Of the British free trade school,
who defeated that particular high pet Of
the Republican yawpers, Foraker. There
was Amos Cummings, in New York, the
out and-out Golden Club employee against
whom only twenty-four votes could be
mustered There were Burrows, Blair and
Mckinley in Virginia promising high
and liberal quality Of protection bonus
to everybody who wished the government
TO assist him in his business. There was
the rich son Of rich iron manufacturer
appealing to the manufacturers and to
the laborers Of New Jersey to support
the fallacy by which they are supposed
to grow richer But there was Iowa,
where the free trade idea was particu-
larly rampant and whore the Democrats
absolutely proposed to ask the British
TO come and take possession of
the country and where still
the people have nob been frightened.
The hard -fsted, horny handed laborer
has learned the lesson that money
through the manufacturers hands into
his pockets is not governed by the
amount of the manufacturer profits, but
by the lowest market price af labor The
manufacturer buys his labor like he buys
his lumber and his coal at the lowest
market price The country does not
seem TO be badly frightened At the pros
pect Of revision Of the tariff The war
