concerning Two Kentucky Gentleme

Concerning Two Kentucky Gentlemen
Who Dined at "Dels."
A bluegrass idyl has been circulating
through the Southern society for several
aays. 1t is tale of two kentuckians-
one major, She other a colonel-who,
after night of luck at poker, determined
to crafty an oft expressed desire to visit
New York. They came, and after two
days of sightseeing the colonel suggested
to the major that a trip to New York
would not be complete without dinner at
Delmonico's, The major agreed.
1t was deemed that it would hardly be
considerate to take Mr. Delmonico una
wares, and in order to prepare him for so
unusual an event as a swell dinner for tIru
the Kentucky gentlemen went to the res.

head waiter and told him what they want

they had never heard of before. They ate
great deal and drank great deal, and
told each other stories that both knew by
heart. The banquet lasted three hours.
They called for their bill The waiter
placed a check, face down, on the menu.
The gentlemen were toasting each other as
the waiter did this, and when they placed
their glasses on the table he was gone.
They saw what appeared to them to be a
scrap of paper on tie menu and brushed it
off. The old fellows were ignorant of the
customs of French restaurants, and they
concluded that the menu must he the bill.
The colonel began to figure up the prices.
1t seemed that they had eaten great deal.
but the names of dishes were in language
unknown to them, and anyway they wey1

But the colonel g9sped when he figured
up the total. 1t was $3.50.
"Great heavens, sah!' he exclaimed to
the major. st is $500. If we pay this we
can't get back home"
"We might" suggested the major faint
ly, 1--WE might jump out of this window
and run"
"No, sah," said the colonel, bringing his
fist down on the table. I'VE are Kentucky
gentlemen, sab. We will pay this bill,

The worshippers of the Stuffed Prophet have

Mr. Cleveland is beyond question the choice

have been tacitly accepted by the party every

suspension of the coinage of lightweight ~

the end OF his term Knowing Mr. Clevelsnd's
policy on this subject, the Democracy want him

party against free coinage.
The real. live issues of the present, as defined
by Mr.. Cleveland and accepted by the popular
voice, are tariff reform. ballot reform, and civil

Cleveland that we must look chiefly for an ex-
preston OF the Democratic policy.
If elected to the presidency, Mr.. Cleveland
will reassert his views in regard to silver. and
spect them 40 authoritative.
Literature contains nothing like this abject
confession of the semi -Mugwump Sun of Balti-
more. The attitude of the Democratic party on
one OF the greatest questions Of the day should
be dictated not by reason, bat by faith-faith in
the Stuffed Prophet of William street. The sill

his alone. 1t il for him TO define the 'real, live
issues of the present" If he says that the is
sues are tariff reform. ballot reform and civil

in the background, in the ba ckground silver
must stay. The utterances of the Democrats in
congress, the opinions of Democratic leaders
throughout the land, the desires and hopes and
interests of the masses of the parry, even. are
of no consequence whatever. Mr.. Cleveland
wants to run again for president, therefore the
party wants him reelected; and the party
wanting him reelected, he constitutes party
opinion, party caucuses, party conventions

Such Is the argument of the Baltimore San,
we do not say its logic, for reason has no more
TO do with it than with any matter of blind
faith. Among the unreasoning worshippers of
this stuffed image, the Baltimore Sun is one of
the foremost fools.

THE MASTER PLUMBERS.
An Association Perfected Acceptable Z

An Association Perfected Acceptable to
the Leading Architects.
The Master Plumbers Association will
meet tonight in the Gottstein building to
transact important business. The associa-
ton was organized June IL, with the fol-
lowing officers: President, Y. c. Miles;
vice-president. d. A. Dwyer; secretary and
treasurer, A. F. Sehlumpf The organiza-
ton comprises twenty-five members. and
there are only two or three small shops
that will probably come in tonight or
next meeting.
The association holds that it will be for
the benefit OF all that master plumbers deal
directly with architects and owners instead
OF contractors. as there are so many of
the latter who figure on jobs and. lacking
capital. fail to complete their jobs. The
result is that the small contractors, having
cut prices too low. leave town. and the
master plumbers take liens on the build
ings. 1t is claimed that all the leading
architects approve of the stand taken by
the master plumbers, and that there has
been no difficulty since July 1, when the
rev system OF dealing went into effect.
The association will meet every Tuesday
evening.
