THE sPEAKERSHIP.

Who will be speaker of the house dur
ing the session of the new legislatures
The Republicans have few available men
to choose from Most of the members have
had no legislative experience and it needs
somebody with such experience to manage
the business of the house. Conspicuous
among these who are qualified, both by
nature and training, is Mr.. Allan w.
Paige of Huntington. Mr.. Paige is q
graduate of the Yale law school and has
won success by rare industry and per-
severance. He knows all there is to know
about the way business is done in the
having been clerk of the house
and senate and also member of the
house. He is quick, energetic and prompt,
has good voice and knows how to use it.
He is courteous, fair-minded and digni-
fed, and would be able to hold the
Speakers place with honor and credit in
whatever emergency might arise. His
full and accurate knowledge of what has
been done and what should be done in the
and his ability to apply that
knowledge, would be of very great service
to the house and the State.

Not the least fine of all the writer's deli

closes the story, when Nicholas, in the

for the sparrows, and laughs softly as he

It is indeed story of contrasts. a record

its own clearly defined moral. HILARY.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

General Butler was seventy-two years

A correspondent writes: ''Will you kind

seem pretty thorough just now.

A writer in the New York Nation pro-
tests against the common classification of
the French as Latin race. He says there
is little Latin blood in some parts of
Italy, but where it exists the race type is
utterly unlike the French, grave, satur-
| nine, conservative, averse from strangers,
| sentimental and somewhat like the Ger
man. The Latin conquest, he says, proba-
bly, imposed common language on south
ern Europe, but ''the imposition of the
language of the conqurer, however, is as
far from the establishment of a communi.
ty of race as is the conversion to re.

Tho lowering skies and falling rain had
$, no effect, Monday, upon the enthusiasm
OF Wilmington Democrats, and despite
the fact that cozy homes seemed fer
more cheerful and attractive than the
outside atmosphere, they turned out in
force to hear the issues OF the campaign
discussed at the Opera Aouse by Hon.
Thomas y. Bayard. All the seating and
standing capacity OF the main gu iitorium
was occupied and there was poodly
crowd in the balcony, and every one of
the nearly 1900 persons present listened
throughout 70 Mr.. Bayard's mastery ad-
dsesg with the closest attention and an
appreciation that was amply demonstrated
by frequent and sincerely enthusiastic
applause.
The stage was tastetully set with q

A. Draper, modestly took a seat. In the
boxes were number of ladies, among
whom were the wife and daus liter of MIR.

The reception accorded MIR. Bayard

ard aaid:
My FelloD Citizens: Sun glad to con-
graduate you upon the character OF the
candidates oifsred for your suffrage by
the Dmocratlc party. Not only are they
from the candidate for governor down to
tho least important Office upon the ticket,
men who will challenge your respect and
your confidence that they will perform
and are capable of performing the duties
for which they have been selected, but
there is even more--this feeling of con-
soious interest that the present canvass is
doubly important to the welfare OF our
State and to every one within its borders,
and important to every one within the
wider range OF the government of tho
great nation OF which VS. are part. This
deep interest has been teste in the
presen. canvass by the sllenoing of all
small Righteousness, and the candidates
who stand before you, in every county in
the State, are there by the voluntary ao-
ton OF the people of the state and there
has been no small politics in Delaware on
the Democratic side that has led to the
nominations now before us, but every
man in the party seems to have been
touched by the jntc ousness that there
was something else than personal ambi-
ton and something else than mere party
feeling in ths struggle upon which we ere
about to enter; and that belist has led to

MEANING OF MoLEs.


'iNndge" Explains the Significance OF tss
Ubiquitous Little Marks,
When we were coming up In tho
train, Gays ''Madgc," tho sprightly Lon
don writer, ! had exhausted all my
reading material, and, therefore, connej
over page Of answers to correspondents
in ladies' paper on the subject Of
moles and their moanings / had no
idea that they meant any thing. How
over, | find that a mole on woman's
left shoulder betokens a life OF con-
tinual anxiety and humiliation caused
by her own vanity. IL on the top Of her
left arm it signifies ill-success in love
Hairs and likelihood OF being be-
trayed by her female friends. Others
arc no less eloquent, though in more
cheerful direction One on the right
hip denotes good fortune, happy mar
riage and long life. The lucky owner
of this festive little mark is assured
that she has no danger to apprehend
from her moles.
1t would soem, from other replies that
those on the right side of the body or
limbs are of pleasant augury, while
those on the left are OF sinister signifi-
cameo. One on the right side OF tho
chain Is declared to DO to a woman a
token Of good fortune, happy marriage
and long life, whatever its color. 1t Is
astonishing how closely some OF these
small marks can partioularlze in tho
prophetic strain. Take, for instance,
the eloquent mole on the right temple,
which shows good and happy fortune in
marriage, but the likelihood Of being a
widow; yot 1t promises TO the owner that
she shall be equally fortunate with her
second husband Such q blissful fate as
this is almost unique, | should fancy.

ing in rho shape Of good that q we'll

to second marriages. decided inclina-

EDITOR KENTucKIAN;

EDITOR KENTucK1AN:
Referring to your statement in re-
cent issue about constitutional Con-
vention, l ask permission to say a
few words. You say we have in this
county about 10000 people and are
entitled to two representatives and
suggest that one Republican and one
Democrat should be sent, making no
party contest. This is all well
enough, and by such an arrangement
some of our best men could be select
ed. You mention two gentlemen to
whom personally no objection could
be made, but in a convention to make
a state constitution for the govern
ment and protection OF all the citizens
of the State, all classes should be fair
ly represented. Look at the situation.
You would select both representa-
tives from Hopkinsville, nice little
city of 5000 inhabitants, leaving out
the county of 320OO.-Again you Sc
lect both representatives from one
class of our citizens -both lawyers.
There are probably not over fifty
lawyers in our county. Both represen-
tatives taken from one class of citi-
zens containing 80 people and no
one from the 1880. This, to say the
least of it, looks a little one-sided.
The greatest interest of our county as
well as of the State is Agriculture. A
large majority of our citizens are farm
ers. Who Is going to represent their
interestsi 1t cannot be done by a
lawyer unless you can find one OF
more knowledge and less prejudice
than usual. But there is no need of
borrowing a representative from any
other class or profession. There are
plenty farmers in this county quite as
well qualified to represent our county
in a Constitutional Convention as
either of the gentlemen you mention
though as have said they are person
ally unobjectionable. Lawyers are good
and useful citizens, and fill a place
that no one else can, but there is no
need or justice in trying to make them
fill all the places. Farmers should
look into this matter and see to. it
that they are fairly represented in the
to the end that their in
terests shall be guarded and their
rights fairly protected, or else here
after hold their peace and do no more
grumbling about monoplies, trusts and
other combinations adverse to their
interests. In so important Conven-
ton representatives should be selected
with some decent regard to the varied
and important interests involved, At
least so it appears to

Florida Letter.


JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Jan. S. With
out any solicitation ON your part be
fore we left your and our town, w
volunteer to give you an idea of how
this section of the globe appeared to
us. Well wo have been here two
weeks and two weeks more may
change our present notion of things,
but we rather think not.
Admitting that the exposition opens
out in few days, termed and adver-
tised as the semi-tropical exposition,
we think from the outlook at present
there should be two semis in the title.
or if one, properly placed just before
exposition, for the semi is very con-
venient adjective to be applied to many
of the enterprises. Again to describe
others of the so-called enterprises,
among which range the hotel and the
saloon, the former adjective would be
entirely out of place, but say too
numerous to mention and the accom-
modations almost beyond conception,
and John Chinaman's laundry single
is fixture before your eye, look where
you may.
This city has population of about
$1,000 in the winter, summer don't
count, as in the summer two-thirds of
the above number go to their homes
in northern cities. At this season of
theyear this city is expected to grow
and continue to add TO tho population
until the limit is reached or over
reached. Everything at present is in
a state of excitement in anticipation
of the harvest to be reaped, and every
person I'VE included expects benefit
and is throwing out attractions and
offering inducements by way OF catch
pennies, flying jennys, and many other
contrivances quite as legitimate.
We had formed an opinion of peo-
pie and things here just a few days
after our arrival here, but thinking
that perhaps We would be little too
previous in expressing it until to-day
we came across one who would back |
us up, which came about in this wise;
This morning in taking a stroll over
the city we came front face to lovely
park almost in the center of the city.
Near the center of this park was an
artificial fount from which the clear
water spurted high in the air and de
scending was allowed to accumulate
in basin to the depth and width
sufficient to accommodate about a
dozen beautiful gold fishes. These
having been petted and played with |
so much were quite tame and scarcely |
moved, but seemed almost as if each |
one was fixed to its respective place.
While standing about this pool not
paying any attention to passers by
we were suddenly attracted by lady
of about three score years, who
to be addressing one Of our
crowd. After having noticed these
fishes for a while, and not noticing
heir slightest move, she spoke aloud
n the "brogue of Erin" They are
lot real fish; they are fraud, they
ire fast to the bottom" and concluded
~ addingi II have read about this
place in Frank Leslie and the New
York Weekly for fifteen years, and
now see it Is o fraud and tho people
are likewise fraud" And We joined

The ship was hardly well out on tho
ocean when two stowaways made their
appearance, and later in the day five
more. Tho next morning six more came
up, and during tho two following days
they kept coming up in twos and threes
until they numbered twenty-five all

with stowaways, and the officer on watch
was fairly bewildered. There was a
plaintiye pleading in his voice as he said
to the last conner; "Say, hadn't you
better send the rest up at once?" ''They
are all up now, SIR" replied the
stowaway with repressed cheerful
ness, and the officer gave a sigh Of re-
lief. When the vessel arrived at Que

the harbor police be at hand when tho
