FASSETT AS AN ORATOR.

The ability of the young Republican
candidate for Governor Of New YORK
to state facts and arguments clearly
and eoncisely has not been overdraWn'
Since his nomination he has developed
acapacity for oratory which is as re-
markable as it is powerful and con-
yincing. Some Of Mr.. FasSett's SEN
fences literally ring with eloQuence,
and in reading them no one can won
der that the young men have become
his enthusiastic admirers and warm
supporters.
In his speech of acceptance his des-
eruption of his own Republicanism
was unique:
Il have been a Republican all my
life: the fundamental principles of the
INTRINSIC quality of every man IN the
eye of the law, the majesty and dignl-
ty and worth of human labor and OF
those who work, and the supreme eX-
cellence of manhood suffrage for free
men. / learned in my mothers lap and
at my fathers knee. In the passing

rately the party of Fremont and Lin

son and Blaine. | believe that party

appliances for good government in the
nation. in the State and in that great
product of modern times, the city.
His famous sentence in the same
speech, Zone thing at a time," was
accompanied by words that were full
Of patriotic fire. Said he:

In the same speech he drew a mas
ierly word picture of the long contest
at Albany between the desperate
Democratic forces, determined to drag
down and degrade State and munich
nal governments, and the Republican
elements bent on lettering the condi-
tions of the people:
There are two pictures for the great
5ury of the State of New York to pass

a WRITER in the American Econo-
mist tells of the experience of a Demo
cratic farmer near Union City, Indi-
ana, in way to fairly illustrate the
Astounding benefit of the Mckinley
tariff law. We quote from the story
as follows:
This man, usually forehanded with
his business, not given to reading the
papers, whose political doctrine is to
believe all the Democratic teachers
say, and to plump it straight for the
Democratic nominee every election
day, had last fall been stuffed full of
high Mckinley prices. Thinking he
would be ahead in one thing at least,
he laid in supply of binding Irvine,
for which he paid fourteen cents per
pound, wholesale, for medium grade
article. The harvest of this year
being about over, he brought his wife
to town to get supplies for threshing.
At the same time he brought load
of corn which he sold for sixty cents a
bushel. He sold his wheat for ST per
bushel, and bunch of hogs for $5.65
per hundred pounds, live weight. He
then hunted his wife mp and paid her
bills. She had bought three tin cups
for a dime; good calico for cents per
yard, and the best granulated sugar
for cents per pound. He then step
ped into a hardware store and bought
a keg of nails for 81 so, and then need
ing a few pounds of binding Irvine for
late harvest he was given the best
manila Irvine for 10 cents per pound.
This knocked the fellow clean out.
He contemplated the ceiling a few
moments and then communed with
himself thus: "The best MANILA bind
ing Irvine for 10cents per pound, three
tin cups for dime, good calico for 4
cents yard, twentypounds best white
sugar for 81, whole keg OF nails for
l.S0; corn sixty cents per bushel, and
I sold 800 bushels at that price and
got the cash; hogs, 1896 per hundred
pounds on foot; wheat 81 peg bushel,
and 30 bushels to. the acre; If only
Cleveland was President this would
be a h. II Of a fine time.m

Legal proceedings have been begun
in the New York courts against
James Hoey, the late deposed presi-
dent of the Adams Express compa-
ny. A writ of attachment has been
issued against his property for S7l2,-
750.57.
The grounds for the suit are that
Hoey, Individually or in connection
with Others" in 1882 and 1888 pur-
chased competing express companies
for $4,000 and $50, 900 respectively
and resold them to Adams Express
company for $350,0OO and $780,
900, he being an executive officer of
the company at the time. The com
pany claims that the difference be-
tween the amount paid by Hoey
and the company should be refunded.
The charge, however, that will
strike the general public as the most
grave is that made in the affidavit of
Mr.. Lovejoy, vice president of the
company, in which he declares that
Mr.. Hoey has deliberately appropria-
ted $4,000 belonging to the compa-
ny to his own use. AS related in the
affidavit, the story is to the effect
that when Isaiah c. Babcock, the
former treasurer of the Adams COM
pany, died in 1885, he was indebted
to the company for about $4,000.
In order to discharge this indebted
ness the administrator of Babcock' s
estate paid to Hoey, in his capacity
of an executive Officer of the compa-
ny, s16,645,57. This money, it is
charged, was appropriated by Hoey
to his own personal use, sin fraud of
the right of the said Adams compa
NY" that in consequence the indeb-
tedness of Babcock was never dis
charged, and the company is a loser
to the amount of the sum named from
the date of the payment to Hoey,
Feb. /, 1886, with interest from the
same date.
This transaction will probably be
made the basis of criminal suit
which, it is rumored, the company in
tend to begin against Hoey.

Fall Fashions for Mon


From the Clothier and Furnisber:
The latest fad in mems jewelry is
a scarf pin of silver, the design being
in miniature in the form of bow of
self tied cravat.
The walstcoat lapels are still cut
well down, and the U-shaped opening
is avoided. There is just a shadow
of following V-like effect.
The rough finish has at last pcne-
trated the special realm of leg wear.
Wool trouserings will be popular the
forthcoming cold season.
The wide, washable cravats are
now tied SO that the loops extend out
further than the ends, and they are
worn with standing collars.
In the finer grades of neckwear the
influence of mauve is yet felt in the
beautiful shade of pale gray, with the
impression of green in the warp.
The velvet collar is well adapted to
the covert cloth, while the silk lining
to the lapel treatment is more in con-
sonance with the quietude of the thi-
bets and unfinished worsteds.
The cut of the winter overcoat will
be easy without being fullsome or
long, and they will be made up prin-
cipally in the single breasted style.
On the rough goods the velvet collar
will be deemed necessary.

MIR. AND MRS. PARNELL,

1t has been said of the dead leader that
by ancestry he was half Jerseyman and
half Cromwellian. But for all that he
must be considered as type of the rep
resentativc Irishman, who adores the Isle
of his birth and who builds mountain
of seeming Inconsistencies on base of
stern purpose,
The centuries, says contemporaneons
historian, have taught the sons of Erin
she value of the policy of Machiavelli and
the worth of indirect means to gain di-
rect ends, If one accepts this statement
he may go far toward understanding the
apparently complex character of Parnell.
When he came to his own he seemed fitted
solely for the duties of landed proprie-
tor. Seventeen years ago, however, he
made his political choice, and stood for
parliament as a home rule candidate.
He tried to make a speech and failed.
He also failed Of an election. But the
resolve abided, and within a twelve
month he took his place among the law
makers of the United Kingdom. For a
session he remained unnoticed Then
he joined hands with Joseph Bisgar, a
man who conceived it his task to twist
the tail of the British lion and to let no
Irish grievance pass unnoticed. He and
Parnell formed party of two-a party
that, as time went by, was to grow for
midable and feared.
At this point it is appropriate to mass
the contrasts so far noticeable in Par.
nell's career. He was an aristocrat rep
