Once Was Enough.

Ex-Gov. and Representative McCreary of
Kentucky is noted for his politeness, says the
New York Tribune. On one occasion he was
the guest of a friend in the country. When he
sat down to supper tho lady of the house asked
him whether he wished coffee or tea. The gov
ernor replied:
Coffee, if you please madam
His fondncsS for hot coffee is known to his
friends, who can well imagine his feelings when
the hostess informed him that the cook had
neglected to warm the coffee for supper and
that it was cold Even this information or the
cooks neglect did not affect the governors po-
hteness, and with a smile he replied:
How fortunate, madam. Do you know
madam, that am so eccentric as to prefer cold
coffee and do not care for it in any other way
Your cooks neglect is good news to me-
The relief of the housekeeper can be under
stood as she handed Gov McCreary the
coffee, which he slipped with well feigned
pleasure.
The weather the next day was cold and brac-
ing. Ii was just sucn O day as to make the
heart of coffee drinker long for his favorite
drink. Gov McCreary had forgotten the Incl
qent OF the night before when he sat down to
breakfast. But if it had escaped his memory it
had not that of his hostess
Il have the coffee cold for you this morning.
governor, she said sweetly: you see remem-
Der tnat you said you never liked it any other
way"
The smile on Gov. McCreary's face was hardly
as angelic as it was the night before, but he
drank the cold coffee without a murmur 1t
was with difficulty, however, that the other
guests restrained their laughter over the unfort-
innate predicament in which the governor had
placed himself by his pOIiteneSs.

\ Ridiculous Outcrv.

The oltcry that the republicans are max
ing against the change which the demo
! cratic legislature Of Ohio has made in con-
gressional districts of that state is amusing.
From the ut erances of their organs and
politicians it might be inferred that they
have never redistricted a state with the
sole view Of increasing their representation
in congress. As a matter Of fact, however
the republicans Of Ohio have gerryman-
dered that state and the republicans OF
other states have done the same thing in
their respective states. Ind ed, the repub-
licans Of about every state have not hesi-
tated to resort to ge-rymandering when
they thought they could do so with advan-
tage to their party. II Ohio had been hon
estly districted in the last congressional
election. there would now be several more
democratic congressman from that state
than there is.
Gerrymandering is not honest, of course,
and it is TO be regretted that it is ever re-
sorted to, hut if tire republicans gerry
msnder states when they have the power to
do so they ought not to complain if the
democrats do the same thing. The present
legislature of Ohio has done, perhaps, some
thing more than right the wrong which
republican legislature committed. 1t has
redistricted the state so as to give the dem
ocrats a decided advantage in con-
gres ional elections. In the next congress
there will be, in all probability, six or seven
more democrats from Ohio than there is in
this.
The republicans find their own medicine
exceedingly bitter, and they don't want to
take it. They are suggesting all sorts of
schemes for getting rid of the Ohio gerry
mander. Senator Sherman's suggestion is
the latest 1t is that each state shall be
divided into square districts as nearly as
possible, the districts of course to vary in
size, so that one shall contain about the
same number of inhabitants as another. In
making the districts county lines are to be
ignored, and only those of voting precincts
are to be followed.
This plan would of course be fair for all
parties, provided it was honestly carried
out, but would there not be the same oppor-
tunity for gerrymandering that there is
under the present system? The party in
power in any state would not have a great
deal of dificultyin SO districting the state
under the Sherman plan as to gain a
political advantage
If there IS any way of districting the
states so as to express the popular will in
congressional elections let it be adopted by
all means, but it is ridiculous for the repub-
icans, who have gerrymandered so many
states, to make an cutlery against the Ohio
gerrymander.

A Surprised Senator

Ssn1tCr Blair must have known thai his
educational bill had lost ground recently.
but be did not think it would be defeated
The result Of the vote upon it was therefore
"a great surprise to him. He had confidently
expected that the bill would become a law
within the life OF this congress He had as
surances that the House would pass it if the
Senate did. and there was no doubt that
the President would sigl i. He was so
overcome by the result Of the vote in the
Senate that for a few moments after
the vote was announced he
was not able to utter word. He finally
got upon his feet and changed his vote in
order to be in a position TO make motion
for a reconsideration. OF course his mo
ton to reconsider will be defeated. The
senators who voted against ths bill did so
deliberately and with a full understanding
of it, 1t is not probable therefore that
they will change their views VITA respect
to it during this congress. If therefore the
House should pass it there is no probable
ity that the Senate would reverse its action.
There is pretty well-grounded suspicion
that the Republican party was never as
strongly IN favor of it as it pretended to be.
The republican Senate has voted for it
twice during the time that it has been be-
fore congress, but on neither occasion was
there much probability of its becom ng a
law, because the House was against it. In
this congress, however, the House favors it
and so does the President The refusal
therefore, of the republican senate to pass
1t under these circumstances suggests the
suspicion that the Republican party has all
along been playing the part of hypocrite
with regard to it. The Endorsement given
1t in the national republican platform was
only intended, perhaps. to strengthen the
allegiance of the black voters to the Re-
publican party.
There can be no doubt of Senator Blair's
sincerity, however. He has worked for it
as few public men have ever worked for
any legislative measure, and he is entitled
to the credit of having toled increasingly
for it for more than seven years; and he is
entitled to sympathy also, for there is some
thing pathetic in the sort Of failure with
which he has met

Rrnnswick,s Needs.

Representative Lester is giving the dele
CATION of distinguished citizens of Bruins
wick, who are in Washington in the inter-
est of their city, every opportunity to make
known their wants to congress. The mem
5ers OF the delegation are w. E. Burbage,
NJ. Ullman, l. NJ. Madden, c. P. Goodyear,
A. j. CF6Valt, John Mccullough and j. S.
Thomas. 1t would be difficult to get to
gether a more representative, enthusiastic
and progressive body of men in any other
town in the state.
Brunswick wants 5000, 900 public build
ing and liberal appropriation for deepen
ing her harbor There is no doubt that she
ought to have these things. She is thriv-
ing aud growing city, and within the last
four or five years she has made marvellous
progress. Her naval stores business and
cotton receipts are steadily increasing, and
her general trade is in very prosperous
condition. If she is given by the general
government what she deserves, her prosper
ity in the near future will astonish some of
the other Georgia towns.

Henry NJ. Doremus, of Newark, N. j., is
an honest man. Seventeen years ago he
failed in the mercantile business. Hefound
himself $4,000 in debt, and could pay
only 25 cents on the dollar, but he told his
creditors that he would eventually pay
them every cent. and he did. He pegged
away at the settlement of his debts seven
teen years, and the other day he had the
satisfaction of owing no man anything On
the occasion of the last settlement he gave
banquet, to which a number of prominent
citizens were invited, and after the cigars
had been smoked, Mayor Haynes arose and

A fleeing form in the cold, dark night,

Anxious to Keep Her Word.

Miss Isabelle Brady, of New York, is an
Englishwoman by birth and an American
by adoption. She can scarcely be called a
risky young maiden. for she is on the
shady side of fifty-iye, but though she has
seen fifty-seven or fifty-eight summers her
heart can still respond to any reasonable de-
mand that lover may make upon it. She
is also woman of her word, particularly in
matters pertaining to matrimony. She
says, herself, that when she promises to
marry man the fault will not be hers if
she doesn't do So
Thomas Miskell, also English by birth and
American by adoption, can testify to the
sincerity of this assertion. Thomas is per-
haps 30 years old. He plays upon the
clarionet at a theater, and until recently he
played upon Miss Brady's heart at his board
ing house. Miss Brady's heart was easily
won, and in the course of a few weeks she
was abiding to the young man as Thomas,
dear Thomas" but in the matter Of winning
her money, of which there is a considera-
BILE amount, there was some diff
Guilty. Miss Brady insisted that
it could be won only by mar
tracted to do that, he thought a much
better plan would be for her to make will
in his favor, and to turn over to him her
income, before marriage 1t is to be feared
that Thomas was mercenary, and in his
heart gay deceiver. for when the lady
declined to support him before becoming
Mrs. Miskell he broke the engagement.
But Miss Brady is woman of
her word, as already stated, and she fol
lowed the young man from place to place,
and even after she had denounced him as a
crank and william she said she would
marry him rather than break her promise
She is anxious to keep her word, and if she
is not permitted to do so she wants the
court to make Thomas pay her $4,000.
1t is not often that such fidelity to ones
word is encountered, and it will be pity if
Thomas doesn't marry her at once, thereby
stopping the breach of promise case, and at
the same time saving constant soul the
anguish Of failing to keep her promise.
