Tennyson and His CLAY Pines.

Alfred Tennyson, the greatest living
poet, has shown his appreciation of to-
bacco in deeds rather than in words.
For nearly fifty years he has been a
steady smoker. His finest fancies have
come to him amid the curling wreaths
of his pipe. For pipe and not his cigar
is his habit. Partagas, regalias and
cabanas have no charm for him. OF all
the pipes in the world the common clay
pipe is his choice His den is at the top
of the house. When in the morning he
sets down TO work, the aromatic weed is
before him in an urn large enough to
contain the budget of the chancellor of
the exchequer and dainty enough to be a
casket for Cleopatra's jewels.
A box full Of white clay pipes is at his
side; filing one OF these he smokes until
it is empty, breaks it in twain and throws
the fragments into another box prepared
for their reception; then he pulls out a
fresh pipe, fills it, smokes it and destroys
it as before. He will not smoke pipe a
second time. --S~.r- Ne--ssS---->

Bad POLICY.

In an interview in Buffalo the other day
Senator Carlisle said that in his opinion it
would be exceedingly bad policy to permit
the silver question to become a paramount
one in 1892" He said that it was a question
upon which there are honest differences of
opinion in the Democratic party, while
there are other questions of equal or greater
importance upon which the democrats are
thoroughly united. In his Judgment it
would be wiser to concentrate the whole
democratic strength instead of dividing it.
The wisdom Of these views of Senator
Carlisle cannot be overestimated. OF his
sincerity or his democracy no one can have
a doubt. He is not millionaire, gold bug,
or an apologist for monopolists. He is one
of the people, and all his sympathies are
with the masses. He wants to see the Dem
ocratic party in control of the government
because he believes that the country will be
more prosperous under democratic rule.
And the Democratic party has an excel
lent chance for success in 1892. There Is
nothing to fear from the Peoples party, for
if the election should be thrown into the
House democrat would be chosen Presi-
dent.
All that is needed for democratic success
in 1892 is wise action on the part of the
party. There must be a firm stand for
democratic principles. Let there be no con-
cessious that are inconsistent with those
principles and victory is certain.
