POLITICS OF THE TIMES.
Are the People Represented by On
Statesmen in Congress?

Are the People Represented by Our
Statesmen in Congress?
By fine stroke of irony we call our
legislators the representatives of the people,
says the Illustrated American. Are the
people in any just sense represented by the
men who gather in our Stale assemblies and
in our halls of Congress-are they truly
represented, indeed, by any of the men
who make politics their trade? AS a
nation we are honest. thrifty. patriotic,
intelligent, broad minded and progressive.
Can any of these adjectives be truly APP
piled to the bulk Of the men who figure as
our statesmen? Are we proud of the
speeches made in our legislative halls or on
the stump-the principles and the measures
advocated by the men to whom we have
intrusted the government of our country
Are the Republican leaders, the Demo
heart ana brain of the country? 1t
were an insult to American man.
hood to allow this. We sit down in
calm acquescence, and let the saloon
and the primaries dictate our candidates
and our politics. We say that politics is a
dirty business. We refrain from meddling
with it or attempting TO purify it; we con-
tent ourselves with the thought that the
country is too great to be ruined even by
demagogues or incompetents, and We
placidly suffer ourselves to be dashed into
obedience by the party whip, glad, at
least. to have left US at the polls poor
choice between two evils. Yet even this
choice is won away from us by bribery and
corruption. The highest offices in the ma
ton are bartered and sold before our very
eyes. We are threatened with an oligarchy
Of wealth-wealth that has been prostituted
to the basest uses. 1t is time for revolt.
The American people are patient and long
suffering. but the proverb tells US to beware
of the wrath of the patient man. The
Grand Old Parties must reform-they must
get new set of principles, a new set of
candidates-or an entirely new party will
arise and sweep them out of existence.

New York Roofs.

The other day the newspapers told the
story of how some girls on one roof fiirted
with young man on another roof, and how
the young man, in endeavoring to go from
his roof to theirs, slipped and fell-into
eternity. To how many, even in New York,
did that news paragraph suggest the i'm
portant part the roofs play in this city. We
have all heard Of the roofs of Jerusalem
much the finest features of the town no
doubt-yet the whole of Jerusalem is a
trifle compared to the life on the roofs of
New York. In place where land is valued
as it is on this island there is great city
under ground and great fraction OF the
life OF the place is spent on the roofs.
In the summer the tenement roofs are the
pleasure resorts of the poor. Beginning at
Baxter street and continuing north to Har-
lem, on the east side, the demand for sleep
ing places on the cool and breezy roofs is SO
great that only frst-comers find places
the tardy ones finding no sleeping room left.
1t has always been astonishing to me that
no artist makes and no journal prints a
picture Of a midsummer night scene on
roof, say in Baxter or Forsyth or Mulberry
streets. The crowding of the sleepers, their
light attire, particularly that of the men
and boys, and the discomfort the scene
suggests would open the eyes Chatter's
readers to conditions they never dreamed
had exiStence.-From Chatter

aristocratic portion of the Elm City. There
President Woolsey erected a modest two
story dwelling A gentleman named
Blackman. prominent business man and a
Judge of New Haven, went to live in the

A recent dispatch from Frankfort, KY,
to the Chicago Tribune says: Between the
Louisville Derby and the Senatorial cleo
tion the whole State of Kentucky is in great
excitement 1t requires a vast degree of
discernment to discover which question
occupies the greater amount of discussion.
The Tribune correspondent asked one of the
lawyers in the Office of the Capital Hotel
this afternoon: How is Proctor Knott

"Why, Sam Bryant. He owns Proctor,

No. sir. He is not in the Derby; he is

Do you mean to say that Proctor Knott
has no place in this contest?"
Why. look here, stranger We don't
mean the same thing. You refer to Gov.
ernor Knott; thought you meant the
boss. When you say Proctor Knott to a
Kentuckian he at once believes you have
the boss in mind. Say Governor Knott and

The story is told of General Washington
that one day, while walking alone in the
streets of Philadelphia, he was accosted by
sonality addressed, continued to follow and
importune him to buy some of the conch
shells which he carried in a basket on his
arm and which he persisted were the only
