SHOOTING TIGERS,

1t was my good fortune to be able to

always the chance of an accident when
playing with edge-tools. l was almost
invariably in company with experienced
men and good shots. But some men are
excitable, however experienced. One
day, as we were starting after motor

implored me not to let her husband get

scrimmage, I had stopped the tiger with
q shot through his back that paralyzed
him so that he could not rise. As he
lay glazing at me with his terrible big
green eyes l was Mortified to see nv
companion running up to the tiger on
foot, for he had jumped down from his
elephant on seeing the tiger fall.
Luckily had spare barrel, with which
l put bullet through the tigers head
at once, and his eyes ceased to glare.
1t was my good luck with two friends
to get twenty-three tigers in one ex-

hard indeed for it. l merely mention
this to Justify myself in writing about

HILLS LAST CHANCE.
ST. Louis KepnbIic. ]

St. Louis Republic.
AS far disappears Mr.. David B.
Hills support in his absurd Pres
idential candidacyis confined to the
relics of the Peoples party ",of the
Widow Butler'slhistOric. campaign;
and from that quarter Mr. Hill is
now advised that it would be rather
beneath his dignity to take the,New
York Senatorship. 1t is unneces-
sary to argue that Mr.. Hill is very
likely to take the SenatOrship if he
-can get it; and it is certain that
getting at is Hobson's choice Of
&C. that OF nothing" with him. He
lis serving his last term as governor
If he leaves the state house at AL
bany with nothing else to step. into,
his grip on the machine will be
broken and he will have no greater
influence in New York local poll
tics then any one of the ten thou
sand small fry New York politi-
clans, whose eternal clack so wea-
ries the rest of the country. In
|
national politics he has never'had
any influence, nor is he likely to
gain any while he keeps his present
company.
New York's taste in Senators
has always been far from being
the best, bat the Democratic party
isnot disposed dispute over tastes
in that particular. Soft NewYor
wants Mr.. Hill for Senator there
is nothing more to besaid aboutit.
But when the Butler contingent
attempts to trust him ON theDem-
ocratic party, asa Presidential can
idate there rs this to be said over
and over.as often as is necessary,
that Grover Clevelandtis the only
New Yorker who will be consid-
cred for first place Oh the Demo
cratic national ticket.
If the Butler contingent ycould
carry out Its threat of packing the
New York delegation against Mr..
Cleveland, the resdltwould be the
nomination Of a Western man for
President, and if the New York
delegation then failed to present
an acceptable name for the Vice
Presidency, the second place on
the ticket would go to Massacha-
sets.
The sacrifice Of the nationaItiGk-
ct put Mr.. Hill in the Albany state
house in 1888 andawakenea against
him so much Democratic resent
ment that he need never hope for
anything outside Of New York.
He has none of the raw material
: for leadership in him. He may do
' well'enough in New York politics
but his name will never go on "a
} Democratic national ticket.
