An Unpopular Administration.

The President is losing his hold upon his
own state. In the municipal elections in
Indiana on Tuesday the democrats made
large gains over their vote of two year
ago. In fact, they carried pretty nearly
all the towns and cities.
The federal appointments in Indiana were
made with the view of strengthening the
Republican party in that state, but they
have not had that effect. The United States
marshal was appointed from Franklin, but
the democrats had majority there for the
first time in twenty years. The United
States district attorney was appointed from
Vincennes. but that town changed its
political complexion and the democrats
carried it by an overwhelming majority.
An Indian commissioner was app pointed
from Wabash. and the democrats carried it,
though they had never done so before.
Other instances of democratic gains could
be given. but those mentioned are sufficient
to show that very great change has taken
place in the political sentiments of the peo-
pie of Indiana since Gen. Harrison became
President
If the administration is not popular in the
Presidents own state, it is hardly probable
that it is in any other. In fact, there are
reasons for believing that it has lost ground
all over the country. In the town and
county spring elections in many of the west
ern states few weeks ago the democratic
gains we're so large as to excite very general
comment.
There are several reasons why the admin
istration is unpopular, the main one being
probably that it is weak. 1t lacks vigor
and character. The impression has got
abroad that the President is a small man
Intellectually. Blaine is the only member
of the cabinet who has ever made any I'M
preston upon the country, and he seems to
be Indifferent whether the administration is
success or not.
In the west also the Mckinley tariff bill
is not regarded with favor. Notwithstand-
ing all Mr.. Mckinley and others have said
in its behalf there is strong belief that 1t
favors the monopolies and trusts and places
new burdens upon the people. Mr.. McKin-
ley's statement that it is a farmers tariff
bill is received with smiles of incredulity.
The people think for themselves, and they
cannot be deceived by such statements.
Unless the signs fail the democrats will be
victorious all along the line next fall, and
the next House Of Representatives will be
democratic.

A Chip of the Old Block.

There is a great deal of sham, says the Chi
cago Morning Netos, in all the show of affection
that has been going on at Berlin between the
Emperor William and his uncle. the Prince Of
Wales. 1t is pretty well known that the two
have an ill opinion of one another Wales hates
Berlin because he regards il as a vul-
garry democratic town, and he has always
looked upon William as a boor. AS for the
young emperor, he has been taught by Bis
marck to regard England as nonsenscal little
patch wholly unworthy of consideration, and
he has been heard to remark that the Prince of
Wales was simply petit-maitre and flaneur
Wales was accompanied to Berlin by his sec
ond son, Prince George. After they had been
there two days the son broke out suddenly one
day with: Father have you seen pretty girl
sine you came here?'
That's a curious question" replied Wales.
''How can you ask itf''
"Well, | fancied you'd be on the lookout
said George, land wish you'd tell me If you
see one, for I've got tired of hunting for them
Your Judgment in that direction will do we'll
enough for me-"
The Prince of Wales speaks German very
huently, but this is hardly to be wondered at,
since up to the time he was 10 years old Ger
man was the language spoken almost exclu-
sively in the royal nursery at Windsor castle.
When the queen used to visit Balmoral castle
years ago she made practice of donkey riding
among the neignboring hills. On one occasion
the donkey baked and would not bulge an
inch, whereupon the faithful gillie. old John
Brown, came up and proceeded to curse that
obstinate donkey in elegant Gaelic. Curiously
enough. the brute succumbed to this torrent of
profanity and proceeded on its way. Wholly
at a loss to account for this strange happening,
the gu en- asked: What did you say to the
donkey, John?'
"A wis tellin' him, mem, answered the gilie,
that a thocht eengraetitood an obsteenacy
wis gey puir return for a So guild meat he wis
gettin'; an wunnert ne he'd Ia mair sense
than"
And you think he understood youg' inter
rupted the queen.
John.
''Ah! I wish did," said her majesty.

A Case of Unjust Criticism.

street car" said Detroit lady in conversation
with the Detroit Free Press.
Did you get fal?"

must jump off in the direction in which the car
wanted to stop just skipped out as if / had
been accustomed to it."
WAS it as difficult as you supposedly"
ut was ten times harder. l ran few steps,
and it seemed to me that the whole planet was
turning round I sprawled all over to keep
from falling, and when l struck the sidewalk l
nearly knocked two men down who were pass
lbrium. AS / reeled away heard one of them
exclaim:
ITS shame to see woman in such a con-
dition on the p bic streets she ought to be ar
rested could not run after him to explai n
matters but have never had the slightest am
bition to jump off a street car in motion SINCE
Yet it does look so easy when John does it"

Rarbsritv in the North.

Some Of the northern papers spoke of the
lynching of the black boy Leaphart in Lex
ington, S. c., which occurred few days ago,
as "barbarity In the south" The lYuching
W as barbarous act and was severely con-
demned througout the south. But the repub-
lican papers of the north take particular
pains to impress upon their readers hat all
he barbarous acts which are committed in
the country are coafned t1ths south. In-
stances of cruelty in southern convict camps
are selected and presented to the public
under sensational headlines, and every act
of violence, whatever its cause, is treated so
as to give false impression OF the charac-
ter of the southern people.
It is worthy Of notice that these papers
have very little to say about the barbarous
acts which are committed in the north.
And yet such acts are far more numerous
in the north than in the south. A special
committee of the Rhode Island legislature,
which is now investigating the state home
and school of that state for orphan and des-
titute children. has made some startling
discoveries The home and school is not
reformatory Institution, and its inmates
LuctelOTo udFo uO COuutCLlOu Will tHo
criminal classes.
The committee 70 und that the children Of
the institution were whipped numerically
for slig ut offenses, real or fanciful, and that
frequently one or more of them were de-
prived of food until they were almost
starved to death. There is a punishment
room in the institution, and the legislative
committee found it thickly sprinkled with
the blood OF those who had been the victims
of the lash. Instances of boys being whipped
so terribly that they were not able to walk
for days afterward were related to the
committee.
This is not the only institution in the
north in which barharous treatment of chill
dren has been discovered. A few weeks
ago in Philadelphia there were revelations
relative to the treatment of the inmates of
the orphan asylum, which made the hearts
of the gentle Quakers of that city sick.
Other instances showing that the north has
her full share of barbarity could he cited
the worst kind Of barbarity, barbarity to
children-but the foregoing ones are suffi-
ciens to justify the suggestion that if the
northern papers desire to be just they will
let the northern people know that there is
enough barbarity in their own communities
to occupy their entire attention.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, came near
losing chance to make the speech of his
life on his silver bill. He went to New York
on the understanding with a few fellow
republicans that his bill would not be taken
up until he returned. Senator Vest, how
ever, insisted that the bill should come up
in its order, and that few republicans
should not settle such matters in their cloak
room. Mr.. Jones came back to Washing
ton pretty quick when he got word that his
bill was up for discussion

THAT Was Elonuance.y

Reverdy johnson was one Of the few men.
says the Boston Globe, that made Lord
Brougham listen with any degree of genuine
interest. His lordship's companions have com
planned that whenever he was not talking he
was thinking of something to talk about.
1t was at dinner given by the great Mary
lander in London that he caught the elusive
attention of the self-absorbed earl. They had
got down to canvas back ducks, brought from
far-away home of the host and the Joy of the
guests was ex uisite.
Brougham vowed that not another dish in the
world should ever be thought of in the same
moment with canvas-back ducks from Chesa-
peake bay: He ventured TO say to johnson that
ne doubted not that they were now enjoying
the fairest products of the states.
20, no. answered the proud American; we
have something far superior to that which
have spread before you tonight
=, His lordsbip was astonished, and inquired:
What might that be:"
Chesapeake terrapin," answered Mr.. John
He saw then that he had stirred the curiosity
OF his company. and so he proceeded to crafty
IL under the rare inspiration OF Lord Brougham' S
attentfveness. In graphic speech be went down
into the mud for the alternating quadruped,
washed its shell and then boiled it,
He pictured with blood-curdling vividness the
way the terrapin would respond to the con-
stantly increasing temperature of the water by
stretching forth its long, ugly nesd and search
ing, seemingly. for some means of escape.
Next the listening guests saw the shell float
on, and the scalding process begin IN deadly
earnest.
Then the cook in the lively picture deftly
removed the claws and the gall, which disposed
of half the bulk in the pot. The precious re-
maind next entered upon the stewing process
IN another vessel. At last the terrapin, re-
duced to sweet strings and juicy particles, was
turned into great chatting dish, and carried
to the dining room, where the waiting company
saw 1t placed before the hostess, in an old-time
lace cap and wonderfully embroidered apron
The little lamp beneath the dish was then
lighted. In a few moments the guardian angel
began the seasoning, with a sprinkle of this
cradle Madeira.
About this time the English lips smacked,
and Lord Brougham, who had listened eagerly,
exclaimed: THAT is eloquencel"

A Tennessee Veteran.

Gen. Alger tells OF queer and interesting
customer whom he met recently in Tennessee
at place named after himself, Anderson, and
of whom he had recently bought 90, 600 acres of
timber land. The old gentleman lived in a large
white house with big portico in front of it,
and there were dotted around in different fields
other small white houses. General Alger asked
him:
How old are your"
"Eighty-two."
Enjoying good healthy'
Eyes, very good"
'How many children have YOU"
Nursing the 149th great grandchild now I'll
send and get him for you-''
What do you mean to say? One hundred
and forty-nine ~
"Yes. have had twenty-seven children, and
with children, grandchildren and ereat-grand-
children we are nursing the 149th now, and III
send and get him for you"
So the old gentleman sent out to one of the
small white houses in the cluster and very nice
specimen of hearty baby boy was brought in.

German Revolt Against Protection.

In the new German Reichstag there is a
ing the protective system, which was inau-
gurated by Bismarck. 1t is known that
fully one-third of the members of that
body favor free trade, and there is no doubt
that many others believe that very great
reduction in the duties on breadstuffs would
be beneficial to the country.
Bismarck's purpose for putting heavy
duty on wheat and shutting out American
pork on sanitary grounds was to raise
money to maintain the army and to gain
the good will of the agricultural classes.
The result of his policy, however, was to
raise the prices of pork and white bread so
high as to put those articles practically out
of the reach of the laboring classes. At the
present time white bread is almost unknown
among the very poor people, and pork is
regarded in the light of a luxury.
The question of protection entered largely
into the last elections and had great influence
in determining the result of them The
workingmen want cheaper bread aud meat,
and there is no prospect Of these articles be-
ing cheaper as long as the duties on bread
stuffs remain as they are.
Bismarck now being out of the way there
is strong probability that the economical
revolution which has been started will be
either partially or wholly successful. The
emperor is disposed to do what
he can to allay the discomfort among the
workingmen, and if a modification of the
tariff laws, in so far as breadsuuffs are con-
cerned, will accomplish that object, it is
probable that his influence will be on the
side of free bread and free pork.
In the event of the repeal of the protection
duties of which the workingmen complain,
the protectionists of this country would be
deprived of the satisfaction of pointing to
Germany in support of their arguments in
behalf of protection. They would not even
dare to say that Germany's charge of policy
was mistake, because the change would be
highly beneficial to the farmers of this
country. 1t would make greater market
for American farm products.
