reply of the be srdrawer
The tall man returned T. the counter and told
the bartender he guessed he'd take g ass. but
he was atraid it would go against hun. The beer
was drawn out aud the man walked TO the end
OF the counter where the lunch was.

The tall man ate his herring and crackers and
drank his beer, and patronizingly told the clerk
that he might draw him another glass. He
drank this and then said

opnos,tion 70 GOV. Gordon.

Since Gov. Gordon came out iat-footed
against the sub-treasury plan paragraphs
have begun to make their appearance in the
state Papers TO tie effect that be will have
opposition for senator. and that the alliance
will be against him. 1t Is not at all i'm
probable ths, he will have oppOsi ion, and
it would not be surpr sing if an attempt
should be made 20 pledge candidates for
the legislature agains- him. II let
alone, however, he alliance viii not oppose
him. and il is extremely doubtful If 1t could
lie induced TO oppose him. There are ambi-
tious men who would like u succeed Senator
Brown, and their only chance for doing so
is 70 array the alliance against Gov. Gordon.
But could the alliance be induced to take
a stand against him. If present signs count
for anything it could not. Gov. Gordon hes
the good will Of the farmers in all parts of
the state, and he is the IDOL of the confed-
erata veterans, many Of whom are now in
fluential farmers and allia 1oemen. He has
made an excellent governor, and there is
not q farmer wb D does not know that he is
the friend of the farmers. The only
thing about which he and the
alliance differ Is the sub-treasury plan. and
all aniancemen 90 not approve that measure.
A great many of those who have given it
CO eful consideration doubt its feasibility.
Only a few days ago union convention Of
alliancemen and worklngmen in Missouri
refused TO adopt resolution approving 1t.
Nowhere in the west has 1t a he rty sup
port. The understanding in this state seems
to be that the farmers are not welded to it.
They known very we'll that it it were a
measure for their good all of the leading
democrats in public life would not condemn
it,
1t can be quite safely stated, therefore,
that no opposition worth noticing can be
organized against Gov. Gordon on the
ground that he does not favor the sub
treasury plan. There may be those who
think they can beat him on the sub-treasury
issue, but if they undertake to do 50 they
will find themselves mistaken. There will
be good deal of talk about the growing
hostility Of the alliance to him and about
the probability of his being beaten, but It
will not amount to anything.

Religion in Politics

One of the most remarkable and exciting
political campaigns that has ever been
known in this country is now in progress in
Arkansas. The democratic candidate for
governor is the Rev. James P. Eagle, a
Baptist. The labor candidate for governor
is the Rev n. B. Fizer, Methodist. He
has been Endorsed by the republicans. Both
candidates are eloquent preachers and ex
cellent stump speakers. They are, fgura-
lively speaking, turning Arkansas upside
down.
The Baptist and Methodist denominations
are very strong in Arkansas. More than
four-fifths of the people, white and black
are divided in their religious leaning be-
tween them. Nearly the whole of the
population CT Arkansas lives in the country
There are but few cities in the state and
they are small. The country people have
pretty strong religious convictions. and they
stand by their respective churches with a
devotion that is little less than heroic.
The gubernatorial contest, therefore, has
lost much of its political character. 1t has
become sort of test of strength between
the Baptist and Methodist denominations.
The blacks appear to lie about as much in
terested as the whites. For the time being
they seem to have forgotten the Republican
party. They know very little about
politics, but they think they know a great
deal about religion. The black Baptists
therefore, are shouting themselves hoarse
for the Rev. Mr.. Eagle. and white Metho-
dsts, democrats though they are,
have, it is said, taken of
their coats, and are working energetically
and enthusiastically for the Rev. Mr.. Fizer.
What the result of the contest will be can
not be predicted with any degree Of GER
tainty, because it cannot be approximately
determined to what extent black Baptists
and white Methodists will vote for their
respective churches rather than for their
respective parties. There is no doubt that a
big vote will be cast

Late advices about the seizure Of fire.
arms by the Guatemalau government on the
Pacific mail steamer Colima indicate that
Guatemala was guilty of the grossest
breach of international comfy. The
officers of the Colima say that when the
steamer arrived at San Jose the Guate-
malan authorities boarded her and threat
ened that, If the arms were not given up
the steamer would not be allowed to SAIL A
compromise was effected by which the arms
were put in lighter to be returned to San
Francisco. But as soon as the arms had been
put on board the lighter an armed Guate-
malan crew came off in boat and made a
formal seizure of the lighter and its cod-
tents. The officers Of the Colima should
never have consented to the removal Of the
arms to the lighter, but this seizure on the
lighter was breach of faith whereby the
Guatemalans dishonored themselves. This
is a case that calls for immediate redress,
aud Mr.. Blaine might put little extra
"vigor" into his foreign policy in this in
stance, and give this two-cenU republic to
understand that Uncle Sam is not to be
trihed with in such way. Instead of re-
spect these Guatemalaus seems to have the
greatest contempt for us, aud unless we

Must the Piano Go?

Is the day of the piano over? A German
musical journal says it is. and affirms that
the perfection of piano playing having been
attained, art will instinctively reach out for
a new instrument upon which to produce
fresh, novel and still greater delight. It
would te difficult to conceive any prospect
more gratifying to the general public, espe-
cially to the large public which does not
play the piano and wishes nobody could
The German musical journal suggests that
the new instrument will combine wind
power with strings. 1t will be the orches-
ira reduced to a keyboard, the calliope
worked by hand, the orchestron trans
ferred from the concert saloon to the d raw-
ing room. 1t is already in the
drawing room, at least in miniature
in the form of the hybrid cabi-
| net organ. Whether the uniting of the
piano with the parlor organ would produce
q new parlor instrument which would be
an improvement on the old remains for
nechanicians rather than artists, to deter
mine.

There are too many piano teachers aud too

However, whether a new instrument be

old one without protest. As well COM
plain that because painting reached its
golden age long ago we need new color

ments which enabled Raphael, Titan,
Correggio, a Rubens, TO achieve their

A Marine Danger.

The recent wreck of two vessels on the
Florida coast, a few miles north of Cape
Florida, suggests the necessity for the estab-
lishment of a government telegraph station
near that point. The locality is a peculiarly
dangerous one. 1t is studded with reefs
which extend down the coast to Key West,
and on which SO many vessels have been
foundered. After passing Fowey Rock, a
few miles south Of Cape Florida, vessels
have the benefit Of lighthouses by which TO
guide their course but north of the cape for
hundred miles, until Jupiter light is
reached, the seaman has no sign to warn
him of the dangers that threaten him.
Along the entire stretch of coast from
Jupiter Light on the north to Key West on
the south, distance of $50 miles, there is
no other means of communicating intelli-
gence of q wreck or summoning assistance
than that of a passing vessel. The neces-
sity for marine telegraph station at Cape
Florida is, therefore, most urgent Prompt
and quick action could then be taken in
case Of disaster, whereas now days
must elapse before the fact can be
known. telegraph station at the caps
would also be of great advantage to ship
ping interests in reporting vessels in the
gulf trade passing that point. AS the case
is now, many are not heard from until
their destination is reached, unless, for the
express purpose of being reported, they
deviate from their course to make Jupiter
light, and thus risk the dangers of the
reefs

former accomplice in political rascality,

Hoar's force bill speech is an able and
thorough presentation of the republican side

senator can knowingly be party to any
bargain which practically defeats that OBJ

Power in the hands of men who abuse it,
or DO not know how to use it, is fraught
with great danger. This is illustrated in
the case of the walking delegates of the
