live under such rule as this?
The corrupt use of money for the pur-
rose of controlling elections has grown
to such huge proportions, and has become
SO open and fragrant, that the most care
less citizen must acknowledge it. and the
fact must or should alarm every man who
prizes the safety of our country's institu-
tions above the success of any one indi-
vidual or party. Success is purchased
with a prolific expenditure of money,
which could be secured in no other way,
and in direct opposition to public opin-
ion, and against the desires and wishes
Of large majority Of the voters. Yet the
defeated tamely submit, year after year.
Men elected to responsible positions by
o confiding or leader-driven people barter
away their honor and manhood for q
paltry sum of money. and vote for men
and measures in open violation OF their
sense of duty, and against both their
conscience and judgment; and sell them
selves, body and soul, to wealthy aspi-
rant for exalted honors, or eoulless cor
porations bent upon public plumber.

cess. In its broad sense, the word may
be taken to mean continuous promotion
until the aspirant reaches the front rank,
and is universally acknowledged as Q
leader. Ability must necessarily be pre-
requisite of such a consummation. in it's
ordinary acceptation, it means the power,
by any methods to reach a medium
height, where recognition comes in the
shape of certain fixed remuneration. To
do this ability, except of certain low
order, is not necessary; and it is here that
we may look for and find the cause of SO
general a neglect of the ordinary rules of
social intercourse and actual honesty
among those who are termed politicians,
those to whom the public delegate their
authority, and those who, in fact, select
and elect our officials, from the highest
to the most humble.
The field of politics has become field
Of battle, and in the turmoil and strife
attendant upon any action where man Is
pitted against man, there is neither
time nor inclination to pay atten-
ton to any of the niceties which oil
the wheels of social progress; but
in almost evcry other department
of social life We find men regulating
their conduct toward each other with
more regard for the decencies Of life and
the demands or honor. In politics alone
do we find cruelty. falsehood, meanness
the rule rather than the exception. In
the gladiatorial contests Of ancient Rome
the successful combatant spared his
PROSTATE antagonist until the inverted
thumbs indicated the desire Of the spec
tators for the finishing stroke. In mod

waving of flag of truce is the signal for
An instantaneous cessation of hostilities.

into the ranks Of his opponents after
they have given the tokens of submission
is murderer. In the grade Of political
warfare with which the average American
is most familiar-which begins in the
ward caucus, is carried into the bear
garden of Congress, and does not end even
at the White House-he who spares his
defeated opponent even after be has
crushed him, is held as little better than

A True Gentleman.

A Chinaman entered Sixth avenue

lowed by trio of his American prog
eny. The car being nearly filed, all
scurried into separate seats The ten
year-oId boy and the eigh:-year-old
girl had the facial angles and the tusk-
like teeth of their Confucian ancestry.
The Youngest, fve-year-old tot, had
chubby, though cream-colored feat
ures, and smile wherein the Caucas-
sian element predominated. All had
little black eyes that twinkled and
cleaned like those of mice.
A passenger left the second seat from
thei Chinese paterfamilias and got out
at a station. The little tot sided
across the aisle and stood By the va cant
seat, looking wistfully at her Either
and twisting her fingers. The gentle
man sitting next to the Chinaman-
gentleman, though in blue denim over.
ais and hickory jumper, with tin
dinner pail beneath his feet, took in the
situation and changed to the next seat.
The child few to her fathers side and
nestled there. She beamed her glee
across the car to her brother and sis
ter, and they grinned back. Half the
carfu1 of people felt the contagion of
good-fellowship, and smiled or grinned
according to their respective natures.
A lady, tall and gracious, passing
out with her escort, blushing brightly,
paused near the Chinaman, stopped
and patted the little ones cream-col-
ored cheek and spoke some cooling
words of praise to the delighted father.
The Chinaman tipped his hat as the
lady passed out Then he began to
chuckle all to himself. He chuckled
sill down the line.
When I got out at Park place he was
still chuckling.
Moral-Pick it out for yourself.

CLEARING THE ROAD.
An Adjournment May be Had When
the Tariff Bill is Disposed OF

Matters are going very smoothly in the con-
ference on the tariff bill, but it now appears
impossible to get all the work done in time to
get the report into the House this week. 1t is
thought, however. that the report will come in
on Monday. This will make it difficult to
reach an adjournment before the LIST of Oc-
tober.
The republican members OF the conference
arc discussing their differences informally be-
fore each days full conference. The formal
action IN conference is thus rendered CASTER
AT the meeting this mornining the recip-
roclty amendment was agreed to promptly as
soon as it was reached. The only other thing
of Importance done was the striking out of the
Plumb amendment increasing the duty on
spirituous wines. The chemical schedule was
agreed to with the Senate changes
The questions over which there is q contro-
versy being laid aside as reached, the consid-
posed OF, and at meeting tonight
or tomorrow the real fighting
will begin. They will probably compromise on
binding twine by fixing the duty at one cent
and in the end the Senate will probably win
the fight over tho sugar schedule
As general proposition, the indications arc
that the higher duties of the House bill will
prevail where the Senate amendments make
reductions.
AS soon as the Iangston case is disposed of
it is the intention of Mr.. Cannon to bring in
the general deficiency bill for non-concurrence
in the Senate amen 1ments SO as to get it into
Is made.
This will clear up things, so that an adjourn
ment may be had as soon as the tariff matter is
finally disposed Of

The Rev. Joseph PLAYED Hob.

NEW YoRK, Sept. ia story of a marriage
for fun that turned out to be a legal marriage
comes from Keyport, NJ. The affair is repre-
sented as occurring near Prospect Grove,
where some fifty young people who were
boarding at Keyport summer boarding houses
and hotels were holding picnic. The cere-
mony, however, took place apartfrom the COM
pany, only two persons being present besides
the three persons absolutely necessary to a
wedding. The names of these two are not
given. The names of the alleged bride and
bridegroom are reported as Miss Emily Dun
can OF Dayton. Ohio, and Mr.. David Crosby Of
Vincennes, Ind. Both have gone to their re-
spectiye homes. 1t is alleged that one OF the
picnickers. q clerical looking young man, per-
formed the ceremony. and afterward, to the
surprise OF the couple. he drew out card on
which was printed Joseph Hemperfeld, pas
tor OF the United Brethren Church, Kansas
City" No explanation of his conduct is re-
ported. He also has left Keyport.

THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Dingley's Nose Was Hurt When Mr..
kilgore Kicked the Door.

Things at the Capitol have been lively today
The floor has not been so terribly exciting
although Mr.. Crisp took occasion to
inform the House that his opinion that Mr.
Reed was tyrant Of the deepest hue had no,
been changed by recent events. The doors of the
House have been closed more or less during the
day and the furniture of the House has suffered
in consequence.
Several members felt q strong inclination
to get out of the House, the doors being
locked; the consequence was that the doors suf-
fered. Mr.. Kilgore stood by the door into
the Speakers lobby near the doorkeeper's
desk and argued for a few moments as TO the
advisability of the doorkeepers letting him out.
The doorkeepers did not see it that way and
Mr.. Kilgore kicked the door with strength and
vigor. Mr.. Kilgore's kick was stronger than
the locks and the door went.
Mr.. Dingley of Maine happened to be on the
other side and received the door in the
face. His nose was bruised badly. Mr..
Kilgore passed out remarking that that
was one way to get out of the House. Mr..
Cummings and Mr.. Coleman escaped in a simi-
lar manner.
Over one Of the windows in the House there
is sign today reading Reeds Menag-
erie. Do not disturb the animals
by stirring them with umbrellas and do not
feed them with peanuts. They will be dis

three of the crew Of the whaling bark La.
gonda arrived here yesterday on the steamer
Rio Janeiro from Yokohama. The Lagonda
left this port on whaling voyage at the open
ing of the season. but SOON after starting
sprung a leak. Pumps were put to use and
she finally reached Ladionstock, Siberia.
Here the men compelled the captain to sail for
Yokohama. where the ship could be surveyed.
The captain started for Yokohama, soon after
changed his mind and started back on q
whaling voyage. When the crew discovered
this they mutinied OH the high seas and forced
the captain to sail for Yokahoma. At that
port the bark was condemned by the Amer
lean consul and sold.
