Tom Had No Clothes.
From the Chicnoo Tribune.

One day, when Thomas Crafty, the Chicago
lawyer, was young man he received an invita-
ton TO swell ball. In the lower left-hand
corner of the invitation were the letters ''R. s.
V. T., and they were too much for Crafty He
puzzled over them for while and then went to
a friend.
What does 'R. S. V. p stand forY'' ne
asked
''Repondez s'ilvous plait''" replied the friend.
''Responde silver pate.' exclaimed Crafty
What does that mean? Have got to send my
regrets on Salver?'i
mo; it means Respond if you please The
hostess wants an answer"
IAN right III sen one.'
Crafty went out and bought some cream-col-
ored note paper and then penned his regrets.
They read:
Mr.. Crafty regrets his inability to accept
Mrs. Blanks kind invitation
ct. II. N. c."
OF course the hostess was puzzled. She
couldn't make the head or tail out of T. Fl. n
G., an so submitted the strange missive to her
husband. He promptly gave it up. but resolved
to secure an explanation. He met Crafty and
asked him about it,
20, ike to be in style, said Crafty. ''Proper
thing to put letters down in the corner, you
know"
But don't they mean anythnge"

by having Mr.. Powderly arrested on a
charge of conspiracy, but the measure of
his notoriety does not seem to have been
full enough to satisfy him, and he has an
nounced himself as candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor of
Pennsylvania. He is almost certain TO meet
with i,appointment-tha is, he won't be
nominated. As for notorety, he may get
more of that than he wants. The probable
democratic candidate for governor seems to
be ex-Gov. Pattison.

Two recent occurrences i'll Florida have
failed to receive editorial attention from
northern republican newspapers, and they
are of considerable Importance. One is the
action of United States Marshal Mizell
ordering his deputy to select only republi-
cans for jury duty in certain cases, and the
other is the assassination of a saw-mill man
at jacksonville by colored strikers. The
failure OF these organs to denounce these
outrages shows conclusively that in
their eyes offsnses in the south are horrible
only when alleged to have been committed
by democrats.

The Future.

From the Washington Post.
What may we take into that vast Forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit Of all our long endeavor
No anne wreathed crown we wore:
No garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown portal:
No gold. no gains;
OF all our toiling in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains
Nor gildS, nor stains.
Naked from out that far abyss behind us
We entered here:
No word came with our coming to remind us
What wondrous world was near
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starless night before us
Naked we glide.
No hand has mapped the consultations Ger us.
No conrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black and
and hollow,
Our footsteps fare;
The beckoning of Fathers hand we follow
His love alone is there;
No curse, no care.

The Fight for a Majority.

The fight which the republicans propose
to make in the House for good working
majority has begun. There are seventeen
contested election cases from the south. In
all of them the contestants are republicans
There is no reasonable doubt that it is the
purpose Of the republicans to unseat seven
teen southern democrats and give their
places to these contestants without regard
to the facts which tie evidence has disclosed.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that the first case to be taken up is that of
Smitn against jackson from West Virginia.
In the committee all the republicans voted
in favor of seating the republican Smith,
and all the democrats in favor of Jackson's
retaining his seat. From this it is evident
that the contested election cases are not to
be decided upon their merits, but in ac-
cordance with the necessities of the repub-
ican majority
1t is regretable that justice plays no part
in settling contested election cases when re-
publicans are in the majority and desire a
greater. majority. 1t might be unjust to
say at the republican,leaders we're instru-
mental in having the pending contests made
with the view of increasing their strength in
the House, but it certainly looks as if there
we're plot of that kind
The Republican party seems to have de-
cided that if it cannot elect congressman in
the south. it will secure them in some other
way. The unseating of democrats and the
filling of their places with republicans by
the House is about as effective a way to get
a majority as the returning board is. If the
republicans succeed in getting congress to
place congressional elections under federal
control, the returning board will be de-
pended upon to DO the kind of work the re-
publican majority of the House proposes to
do now.

People who Ike to read Senator Ingalls,
sensational speeches were probably disap-
pointed in not finding one of them in Tues
days Geographic columns. The senator
was booked TO speak Monday, but he broke
the engagement, so to speak. Why: A
Washington newspaper man attempts to
explain it by saying that many of the
wires in the west were down, on account of
the storm, and reports of the speech could
not be sent to that section very generally.
The newspaper man seems to understand

correctness of his views as about the
