CT,ARKsON ON POIITICs.

Gen. J. s. Clarkson, who is soon
to retire from the postofiice de-
partment at Washington and as
sumo his former position as editor
of the Iowa State Register, has the
following to say in regard to poll
tics in general:
Men in politics make stakes;
but so did st. Peter, and he reach
ed the other world. SO, | hope,
will many of tho people in this
world who have made mistakes.
1t is the humanity of st. Peter
that gives us all hope. We do
not turn to the perfect apostles;
we go to good old Peter for our
code. When he fell down in
weariness and got up in strength
he left.an open door for all of us
who are human. All the men in
politics are not St.Johns, Many of
them are st. Peters. They are
serving their party, their country,
and the world is all the better for
it. / would rather send my boys
into politics to learn manlincss,
self-sacrifice -and. generosity, the
honor ofpersonal word, the chance
to do good, the duty to be gener-
Gus, than in any other school in
practical life that ! know.
Where 81 is made in politics
800 is either lost or else not
earned where it might be. The
fact that the departments, and that
the federal offices all through the
country, and many Of the state
and domestic Offices, are filed
with the descendants of public
men who died poor goes conclus-
lively to show that men do not
make money out of politics or
public places. Anyone Of intelli-
gence and good memory can count
on his fingers the great public men
who have died rich ? There is
hardly q useful man serving in
public life to-day who could not
get twice, three times, or quadru-
pie the salary, or make that much
more in profession or business,
than he is now receiving from
Uncle Sam.

HoTEL OHAMPLAIN.

Three miles south of Plattsburg,
on the direct line OF the Delaware
K Hudson railroad, is located the
new and superb Hotel Champlain,
without doubt the finest summer
hostelry in the country Over
looking Lake Champlain from the
summit of a bluff some 200 feet
above the level Of its waters, it
commands a magnificent view Of
this inland sea that occupies so
important and romantic place in
the history of our nation. The
appointments and furnishings Of
the hotel are at once elegant and
artistic, 1t is built upon the solid
rock, and all about it is the prim-
atiye forest, while its sanitary ar
rangements are as perfect as genius
has been able to devise and art to
secure. About three sides OF the
house extend piazzas twenty feet
in width, affording an unbroken
promenade over l, 900 feet long.
Geographically, the Hotel Cham
plain has many advantages, it be-
ing readily accessible by both rail
and boat. Nature has also signal
lied the place with charms none
can resist. To the east is seen the
broad expanse Of Lake Champlain
with innumerable islands asleep
on its bosom; beyond are the
Green Mountains, peak rising
above peak ,receding at last almost
into invisibility. The scene from
the western piazza is totally diff
ferent. Here a varied landscape
is spread before the eye, fertile
fields and dark-green valleys,
girdled with still darker green for
ests, through which we catch the
simmer of interlaoing streams, in
whose cool depths the trout hide.
This comparatively level stretch
Of country is satisfying overture
to the glorious mountain ranges
and lofty peaks Of the Adirondacks
that outline the horizon.
Old Fort Ticonderoga, the most
interesting and picturesque ruin in
this country; Fort st. Frederick,
of which the wall is yet in a state
Of preservation, and the grass
grown earth works are but few
miles up the lake. The marvellous
Ausable Chasm is buta half-hour's
ride. The great Adirondack
Mountains too, are easily reached
from here, Saranac Lake-the heart
of the MISUNDERSTANDING but a
four hours journey by rail. Lake
George and Saratoga arc each with
in convenient distance, while Mon
tyeal is only seventy-four miles
northward

An WING, a Chinese cook on a
whaler recently arrived in San
Francisco from Sitka with his In
dian wife. The story of how he
came to wed his Alaskan bride
reads like the romance of Poca-
hontas and John Smith. THE
whaler on which Wing cooked was
wrecked on the Alaskan coast and
Wing escaped to the ice where he
was found by Indians. They
treated him kindly and fed him so
carefully his suspicious were
aroused and he learned from the
chefs daughter +hat he was. to be
barbecued for a big feats. He
made love to the damsel and on
the fatal day when he was brought
out to be killed the daughter
pleaded for his life which her fa-
ther granted. They were married
and lived some time with the
tribe, but Wing grew tired Of wal
rus meat and escaped with his wife
in a whaler. He is now tailoring
in THE city, his wife helping him,
as she has become an adept with
the needle. She shows signs Of
consumption, howsver, due to in
door life, as she cannot be induced
to venture on the street, being
afraid of the noise and hustle.

laid twenty years ago. II was on
the same. or the next day a long
er train than that passed north,
having sixty.four cars, but there
were two engines.
Have you seen the long trains
loaded with big, fat hogs, going
south ? One train was seventeen
cars, double deckers. Each car
held seventy hogs and they were
big ones, estimated to weigh 800
to 400 pounds--now do a little fig
uring, and you will find there were
in one car not less than 800
pounds and in the seventeen cars,
an aggregate of 4l6, 800 pounds.
Where were they going? TO
Mexico.
-One night, along about mid
night, a train going north, stopped
and The crew came into the lunch
stand. One of the brakemen had
a terrible cash three or for inches
long across his hand, and some
more bad cuts about his head.
They reported that back down the
road a few miles, not for from the
bridge, the brakeman discovered
three tramps stealing a ride in an
empty car. He jumped into the car
and ordered them to jump out.
They refused and showed fight.
The brakeman had only a short
club, but this he used vigorously.
One or more Of the tramps drew n
knife and for few minutes there
was a lively tustle; but the
brakeman made all three jump
out while the train kept NOV
ing. The brakeman's wounds
were not serious. From the
amount of blood on the floor Of
the car, he IS confident the tramps
are badly hurt. In the mixed up
free fight in the dark they believe
the tramps must have cut and
wounded each other.

ABOUT BARD TIMES.

1t matters not how many farm
ers' organizations are effected or
upon what plan; until the farmer
learns TO conduct his affairs upon
the same general principles which
the merchant and the capitalist
employs, he will not enjoy any
great degree of prosperity. The
merchant finds it necessary to take
advantage of every cut in freight
rates and of o~ery decline, how
ever temporary or Insignificant, in
the price Of any commodity which
he sells in quantities, or his com.
petitors outstrip him. Does the
farmer disclose the same acumen ?
Seldom, we regret to say, and to
this fact much of his failure is at
tributable. As long as the wheat
and hogs are sold in the fall and
winter, and -four and bacon bought
next season for family consump-
tion, the farmer need not expect
any very good times.
Another strong opponent Of
good times is the credit system,
which human nature is so prone
to avail itself of when opportuni-
ty offers. The piano peddler
comes along with his small pay
ments and long time and a music
al instrument is contracted for
when there is more real need for a
cradle. The result it that that
family will have to take its share
of good times and comfort out in
music, whereas if a couple of year
lings, a colt or a few fruit trees
had been bought with each pay
ment, by the time the instrument
ie paid for a bunch, Of cattle or
horses or an orchard would have
grown up about the place worth
ten times over what the piano il.
Few families have any use for a
piano until they have the cash to
pay down for it, and the same can
be said Of most all other articles
which are <oid on credit. II isn'i

SEVERAL companies of troops
have been moved towards and in
to the Ci.ickasaw nation to prevent
any disturbances growing out OF the
expressed intention of the recent
ly disfranchised white men to vote
at the election held yesterday
The situation looked very critical
indeed but timely preparations
were made and it was believed the
authorities had the situation fully
in hand and would be able to fore
stall any actual outburst. Sam
Paul was again the candidate of
the progressive element of the ma
ton and was opposed by Byrd,
