Got q Job at Last.

He was dusty and tired-looking when he en-.
tered the Central station last night in search of
lodging. His clothing was soiled and torn,
and it would be base fiattery to say he had
dlsreputable appearance. He bowed humbly,
and yet with an air of dignity. to Inspector Nc
Aleese as he made known his Grand says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. When questioned as to his
profession. the stranger told a tale which shows
how difficult 1t is for some classes of labor to
obtain steady and remunerative employment
He said: Gentlemen, have been playing in
very hard luck for over nine years, and have
been unable to obtain an engagement, although
am specialist IN my line -
well, what is your line?" asked the inspec-
tor.
Il have travelled all over the United States
during the past decade" continued the
stranger, without noticing the interruption, and
although have received fiattering offers, but
always, alas, in the future tense, l have failed
to get employment"
What is your profession?" again demanded
the inspector, while dozen more police officials
crowded around to hear the answer.
"A few days ago." calmly proceeded the
stranger, the clouds of night began to break
and saw the dawning of a glorious day. In
two days, gentleman, l return to work at my
chosen profession, and all my trouble will be
over"
But what is your profession?'' excitedly
chorused the anxious audience.

Emmett.in a Particular Mood.

Joseph K. Emmett was at one of the fifty
little tables in the cafe of the Delmonioo estab-
lishment, and he was convivially full of cham
payne, says the Utica Observer. A monkey
dude had sat down at the adjoining table and
had said to the waiter:
Give me half a broiled chicken, and be sure
to mention my name
An instant later another dude had seated him
self at the next table on the other side of
Emmett and had given his order in these words:
Bring me some roast clans, and mention my
name"
The reteration of the phrase, mention nv
name" struck the humorous appreciation of
the comedian. That was his first knowledge of
the newest kink of about-town nonsense, which
is to assume that not only the Delmonico
walters know your name, but that the mention
of it to a cook in the kitchen is quite sufficient
to produce Wand particularly well done, and
perhaps done in the manner peculiar to the
taste of the individual. Whether the waiter
ever actually delivers the name along with the
order is question which have not inve st-
gated, but probably he doesn't. He is discreet
servitor, however, and his gravity is proof
against this test. He assumes an air of being
nightly impressed. So was Emmett, and with
the delicious mimicry of the two dudes draw,
he said to his waiter in a voice loud enough to
be heard throughout the big apartment:
"Hou bring me twelve clans on the half she'll
and mention my name for every clam"

Broke the Bell.

In the days of the chestnut bell a lot of us
were waiting at Trenton for the Long Branch
train, and one of the men began telling about
his experience wrecked vessel in mid
Atlantic, saws the New York Sun. Near by on
a passengers trunk, sat a pale-faced, weary
eyed young man of twenty summers, who WIS
going down to the branch with his ma He
wore chestnut bell. and this was perhaps the
first time he had had a chance to ring it. The
gentleman was proceeding with his story when
ting-a-ling went the bell. He stopped and
looked around, and then continued, but after
half a minute the young man belled him up
again. TIE man looked annoyed, but went on
and during the quarter of an hour he was talk
ing that bell rang about fifteen times When
he had finished he looked over to the weary
young man and asked:
What is that bell for?'
"Chestnuts," was the reply,
''How do you meant
why, you know, when you hear anything old
you-ting a-ling on the bell"
20, you do. guess I'll try it once"
He got up, shook the young man out of his
coat and collar at the first shake, and then
whirled him around, ended him up, and gave
him toss over a heap of baggage. The bell
boy got up covered with dust and a wreck the
bell broken by the shock and his collar hanging
by one end, and as he disappeared into the
ladies' room we heard his mother exclaim:
why, daring, didn't warn you to look ont
for the locomotive?"
And the man who had told the story added;
Best to take such cases at the start and ad-
minister strong medicine He might have rung
that bell on somebody who'd have got mad and
damaged him beyond repair. ="

The Fate of a Bank wrecker.

George II. Pell, of New York city, was
sentenced TO seven and half years in the
penitentiary on Monday, having been con-
victed of stealing from the Lenox Hill Bank
railroad bonds Of the value of s31 900 PeIl
was wen-known Wall street broker, and
he and two other men, who will soon be
tried on the charge of bank wrecking, got
possession of the Sixth Avenue National
Bank of New York city, and also two other
banks, one of which was the Lenox Hill
Bank.
The offense of which PEN was convicted
was committed only few weeks ago His
prompt trial. conviction and sentence ought
to have the effect of deterring other Wall
street men from engaging in questionable
financial transactions. Some of the things
done in that street which are classed as
''sharp" and ''smart" are not very far from
being criminal, if they are not actually so.
If they were done by some friendless and
penniless wretch, there would then be no
hesitation in calling them by their right
names, but being done by men who pass as
gentlemen, and who have the reputation of
being financiers, they are permitted to pass
unnoticed.
This man Pell had no good reason for
stealing. He was not suffering for food or
clothes. He simply wanted TO increase his
wealth. He took part in the wrecking of a
number of banks because he liked to take
desperate chances in making money, and he
thought he saw an opportunity to make a
big sum of money within a very short time.
There are a good many men in Wall
street, if accounts of the doings of that
street are true, who want to be millionaires
right away. They crave the distinction of
being rich. The most of them have about as
much money as they can spend upon them
selves and their families. They want to pile
up immense fortunes.
Pell was known by his friends to have a
weak moral nature, and they took care to
have as little to do with him as possible.
They were afraid he would get them into
trouble. Unless he gets a pardon the
chances are that he will not get mixed up
in any other doubtful money-making
scheme when he gets out of prison. An
experience of seven and a half years in a
striped suit will be sufficient, doubtless, to
convince him that it is much wiser policy
to do an honest business.
Criminals of the class to which Pell be-
longs ought to be shown no consideration.
They ought to be examples of respect for
and obedience to the law. Having had the
benefit of education and of association with
those who exert the best moral influences,
there is no excuse whatever for their failure
to resist temptation.

a Connromise Bill.

Neither the Lodge nor the Rowell bill
met the approval of the caucus of the re-
publican members of the House On Tuesday
night. There were features Of both bills,
however, that were satisfactory, and, under
the leadership of Speaker Reed. the caucus
directed Messrs. Rowell and Ledge to frame
new bill out of the acceptable
parts of the two bills
When the new bill is ready it will be sub
mitted to the caucus again, and if it is sat
isfactory it will be pushed through the
House by strict party vote, just as the
tariff and silver bills were. Little or no
time will be granted for the discussion of it.
If quorum isn't present without the dem
ocrats, and the democrats refuse TO vote.
the speaker will count a quorum. In this
hasty and arbitrary way it is purposed to
put through the House a measure of the
greatest importance to the south-a meas
ure which, although it applies to the whole
country, is intended to be operative only in
the south.
1t is understood that the compromise bill
will be an enlargement of the supervisory
system. Returning boards composed of
supervisors will have the power to say who
are elected, and as a majority of each
returning board will be republicans a fair
return of the votes cast will be out of the
question. 1t is safe TO predict that in each
congressional district in the south in which
there is large black population a repub
lican will be returned as elected, whether
he gets a majority of the votes
cast or not. The returning boards
will find ways for overcoming the demo-
cratic majority. They did so when they were
in existence in the southern states during the
carpet-bag period. and recently in Montana
a returning board cheated the democrats
out of two senators.
Returning boards, such as the republicans
purposeto establish, being partisan in char
acter and organized to keep a party in
power, are powerful instruments for evil.
By means of them the people are robbed of
their rights and minorities are given the
power which belongs to majorities.
If the federal election bill which the re-
publicans are now preparing becomes
law it will be about impossible to wrest the
control of the government from the Repub-
lican party. That party will have almost
absolute control of the elections, and by
means of the returning boards will elect the
President and a majority of the House
of Representatives. The returns in
the south will lie held back
under one pretext and another
until the republican managers know how
many more electors they need to control the
electoral college, or how many members
they require to give them a majority IN the
House, and the returning boards will fur
nish the necessary number.
1t is evident that the proposed election
bill is full of danger to the peace of the
country. The people will not quietly sub
NIT to being robbed of their rights. They
elected Mr.. Tildeu President in 1876, but the
returning boards in the south made it pos
sible for Mr.. Hayes to become President.
Another outrage like that would not be SO
easily settled as that one was

Popular Mr.. Harrison \.

Ex-Gov. William Pitt Kellogg is back from
louisiana by way of Chicago, with an apt
story illustrating Mr. Harrisons popularity
among the colored people of the south. This is
the way he tells it, says the New York Star:
was sitting in my room at the St. Charles
hotel, in New Orleans, when old Dr. Lyons. who
has charge of the largest colored church in Car
rollton, came in with subscription book for
his church. / asked him how much he thought
l ought to give; gave it. and then said:
elder, what do your people think about the

you You remember MIR. Scott. don't you, who
keeps stationery and general store on Gravier
street, and who used to be something of a re-
publican. Well, | went to him for a sub
scrption. He told me times were hard and
money was scarce, but, said he, III tell you
what can do. have got lot of fine steel en-
cravings of President Harrison, which | will
give you if you like to take them. They cost
me 1914 cents apiece; you can sell them for
what you like and give the money to the
church."
TO make the story short, continued Kellogg,
1.-THE elder jumped at the offer. Scott counted
him out hundred prints and he lugged them
home under his arm. few days afterward
there was church fair and big meeting DR.
Lyons announced to the brethren and sisters
that he had been presented by Mr.. Scott with a
lot Of fine steel-plate engravings of Mr.. Harri-
son, which he would sell for the benefit of the
church at 10 cents each, and those who could
not afford to pay 10 cents could have them for
a nickel. up LDen rose du Ola deacon and said:

the church arose a chorus, we amt got no use
for him.

President Harrison will have the appoint
ment of nine general appraisers provided
for by the customs administrative bill.
which will be a law in a few days. The
positions pays $1,000 year each, and SO
severe are the qualifications that they are
practically life positions. There is strong
demand for the places, but there is not
the overwhelming rush of which
so much has been said. The recommended
tions of the conference committee to the
President, that he appoint no man whom
he would not appoint to judgeship, has
very naturally convinced the average
office-seeker of the entire useleSsness of
applying for such a place. Five of the
nine general appraisers are to be
republicans, the remainder democrats.
Among the applicants is Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Tichenor,
Mr.. Hepburn, solicitor of the treasury; ex-
Appraiser Hahn of Chicago, and General
Appraiser Kitfield of Boston. The most
prominent democratic candidates are ex-
Gov. Thompson, now civil service COM
missioner, and Isaac H. Maynard, both of
whom were assistant secretaries of the
treasury under Mr.. Cleveland.
