THE POPULAR DRIFT.

Every vote had in any locality adds a
new straw to the bundle being gathered
by the Democrats. There is no excep-
ton to the rule where the national is
sues are made prominent. 1t is COM
puted that the town elections in Indiana
indicate a Democratic majority in the
state of $4,000. and the similar voting in
Illinois shows changes enough to erase
all the Republican majority in 1888. In
a speech before the young Republicans
in Philadelphia. at banquet the past
week. Speaker REED referred to the de-
feats the party is sustaining wherever
the people get q chance at it, and was
courageous enough to say: II know
there stands in front of us many dis
appointment" The later and larger
elections of the year will no doubt
explain his meaning more definitely.
1t does not matter whether the
view is in the East or the West,
the drift is the same. In New
England only little Vermont is
absolutely conceded to the Repub-
licans this year. Rhode Island has
just shown by its popular vote that 1T
will at least divide the congressional
delegation in November. 1t has given
the Democrats decided plurality. In
Massachusetts it is reported that the
exodus of young men from the Republi-
can party is remarkable. They are
coming into the tariff reform camp. II
is predicted that in place of the two OF
three Democrats now in congress from
New England, the twenty-siX members
will be about equally divided in the
coming congress. The explanation of
Speaker REED that the Republicans are
too busy to vote in off years does not
satisfy men OF his party, as it is noted
that the vote in the elections most EN-
phatically adverse is larger than usual.
The people are as much dissatisfied
with congress as the politicians are
with HARRISON and his administration.

A Tenaptation.

The dispatches recently made mention
that a student in an Indiana college had
won prize for oratory by the delivery
of an Grafton not of his composition. 1t
proved to be the work of relative. now
a congressman, who graduated at the
institution several years previously.
The yonng man confessed his theft and
returned the prize money. He was also
punished by dismissal from the college.
Where the honors of literary instltu-
ton are made to depend upon single
effort, as in the prize contest like the
Indiana case, the temptation to borrow
without quotation marks is nearly ire
slstible in case the source is not likely
to- be traced. In cases where there is
not reproduction there is often such out
side assistance secured that it amounts
really to the production of another. The
practice in the high school of this city,
and, perhaps, quite generally of max
ing the graduating parts dependent
upon the verdict of committee upon a
single composition, is, apparently, spe-
cially calculated to tempt to the intro
duction of vicariOus work. One in
stance, discovered few years ago, is
familiar in school legends. Ii there is
recognition of industry and capacity in
the final exhibition, the practice would
seem to be defective.

as state treasurers. There have, I'M
fortunately, been several of these in
Southern states the past few years.
Probably they were generally men
elected because they were clever and
liberal. To keep up their generous
ways they may have used the public
moneys for speculation and got on the
wrong siLe of luck. When QUAY, the
great Republican boss, was treasurer of
Pennsylvania, he used the state money
to speculate with in stocks, but was fort
innate and able to replace the appropri-
ated funds, and have good margin for
his own pockets. He did not have to
travel in consequence. The difference
was only in luck. He had means TO be-
come statesman and political reformer.
There should be no eXtenuation of the
course of misusing public funds. what
ever the politics or station. a Demo-
cratic defaulter is little wore than a
Republican one because, as rule, in
the past few decades. he has had more
opportunities to cultivate virtues in
private life.

his speeches. A few days ago the SEN
ate chaplain, DR.. Butler. went down on
the floor of the senate after the delivery
of his inv0cations and strolled about
to point in the near neigh
bOrhOOd Of Mr.. ingalls, desk,
where he stood mildly gazing about
him. a perfectly harmless and inoffenS
i've figure. But his presence seemed to
annoy Mr.. ingalls,. who was writing.
Presently the Kansas senator turned
about, Suspending his work for min.
ute, and with pen poised in hand stared
deliberately at the chaplain.
dtf'I hope you had a satisfactory serv-
ice last Sunday" he said.
Butler, smiling in pleased way at the
interest manifested by the senator from
Kansas in the welfare of his church.
at.l nope the collection was large and
impressive enough to suit your necessi-
ties" said Mr.. ingalls, very deliber-
ately and with that careful and distinct
enunciation for which he is famous.
1.-THE collection was very good, l
believe" said DR.. Butler in some
what embarrassed tone, ''but had only
an indirect interest in it, because it was
devoted to the maintenance OF the
church building"
t'Ah, indeed" said Senator Ingalls,.
still surveying the chaplain in the same
deliberate way. his pen still held in his
right hand in an attitude Of expectancy
as though waiting for the interruption
to cease. II thought that the collection
was for your benefit"
''Oh, no." said DR.. Butler. uneasily,
and minute later he turned around
and moved away from the neighb0r-
hood of the Kansas senator without
venturing to say good morning. And
then Mr.. ingalls,, too, turned about de-
liberately and resumed his writing.

Marcus DAILY, the manager of the great
mining properties at Butte and
Anaconda, is the guest Of Senator
Hearst, with whom he is associated in

of the political quartette, is one Of the
contestants for the senate, and he. is
here with Maj. Maglnnis to hear the
arguments upon the case that was set
tied against the Democrats before the
jury went into the box.
MIR. DAILY is greatly interested in the
senatorial dispute. Lit is not to him OF
so much consequence that Clark and
Maginnis are to lose their seats, but
a senate committee, can be robbed of
her rightful representatives. He
does not think there was
ever the slightest ground for
questioning the regularity and honesty
of the election in Precinct No. 81 in
Silver Bow county. as the courts have
in every instance seated the Democrats
who claimed to have been elected in
that county. it must be plain to the
voters OF Montana that the verdict of
the senate was not justified by the
facts.
1t strikes Mr.. Daily as probable that
the voters of his state will not be so
lacking insensibility and resentment as
to neglect, when the opportunity is pre-
scented. to administer rebuke to the
party that has tralnpled righteous

who was the treasurer OF Dakota Tor

A Rich Man J. D. Rockefeller is
deyout attendant at
in Church. a Baptist church in
F0rty-seyentn street,
writes New York correspondent. The
opinion seems to be gaining ground that
he should be ranked as the richest
man in America, and as his fame in
ereases the number of people who stare
at him grows visibly. The death of John
Jacob Aston recently set half the
tongues in town wagging about the
colossal fortunes of our great million
aires, and from the discussion Mr..
Rockefeller gained great deal OF fresh
notoriety. Now quite a humber
of people loiIer near the door to see
him as he walks out of church, and it
is amusing to note the manner in which
his neighbors watch HIM during the
service. He seems to be more or less
conscious Of Ghis, or perhaps certain
nervousness of manner is natural to
him. He looks as though in i'll
health, and his face is almost
ashy. 1t is the face Of man who
is never free from worry and responSi-
bility. His brows have settled into a
permanent frown. though it is not
peevish one. 1 followed the habit OF
the multitude and stared at him some
time the other morning. and eventually
reached the conclusion that che was
neither happy nor healthy man.
