SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Senator Burney's amendment requiring
ssintentiOn papers" to be taken out one
wear prior to voting and being OF no
yaIue after lapse of time when citizen
ship should be perfected, is a step in the
right direction, but it needs one other
stipulation. No declaration Of inten-
ton shall be issued to any person not
embraced in the races capable of natural
iZatiOn under the laws of the u. ).
In the triumphant election of Mr.. Nat
Lewis, the ring has filled to the brim the
bitter cup for the people to drink.
1t was unnecessary for the ring to use
its utmost strength in carrying the cleo
tiOn; the opposition did not regard Mr..
Devine as their candidate because he and
his family connections had been earnest
supporters of the ring through the county
and city contests; and Mr.. Devine would
not openly declare war on the Callaghan
combination.
That Mr.. Devine received such large,
respectable vote, should be matter OF
pride to him and his friends. He repre-
scented no principle of opposition to the
present cOrruo t political combination
that rules our local affairs.
The men who are demanding ballot re-
form in our city: who are opposed to the
Callaghan cOmbination; who are deter
mined to eliminate the Mexican Indian,
vote from our poll lists, are too much in
earnest to be drawn into personal fight
over the district clerkShip.
Take out the Mexican-Indian vote-the
votes cast by persons who are not elligi-
bic under the naturalization laws Of the
United States to become citizens and
Devine would have chance.
But Mr.. Devine had no idea of making
the fight on this basis.
Ballot reform must come, and its oppo-
nents must go down before the honest
Indignation of every good patriotic cit
izen.

Those pessimists who affect to be-
Iieve that the deaths of Leonard Jer-
ONE, Senator Hearst, Ben Ali Hag-
gin, August Belmont and others, will
cause decline in the popularity of
the turf, should have glanced with
me this week over the gigantic last
of stake entries received by Secretary
Crickmore of the Monmouth Park
Association. Nearly three thous and
nominations to the various fixed
events for next summers racing
compaign at the Newmarket Of AM
erica show pretty conclusively that
the sport of kings never was on q
sOunder basis than now. II the key
note Of reform, sounded by the
Board of Control, of the
principal earstern jockey clubs
is allowed to spread and de-
Velop into measurable publication
Of racing, there is no bounding the
limits of public favor to which the
turf may VT be advanced. Make
racing comparatively tree from crook
cd work and more people will instant.
~ go into it, as naturally as the wide
a"ske man Of business will always
embrace an an opportunity offered for

Harvard has an excellent chance
this wear of breaking the record and
at last winning race ut New Lon
don. Its crew, / am told, Is made up
of excellent material, strong and will
ling, aud / am pleased to notice that
It is following in the lines of last
years boat. If the men at Cam bridge
would begin to realize that the only
road to victory is harmonious
one. there is q slight possibility
that the crimson may do 81 mething
for herself this year. The success of
the football team last season has
rather set up the colleges idea of its
importance, and may lead to extraor-
binary efforts being made this year
in every department of sport. The
greatest essential to Harvard is
the general waking up of the IN
degraduates. There has always
been so much apathy among
the students, generally speaking,
that it has only been by reason of the
extraordinary perseverance of one or
two men, that any of the teams have
made q creditable showing. When
Harvard realizes these facts, she will
have made the first step towards
winning .-Town Topics.

Everyone who visits Chicago and
goes to service at all, goes to hear DIR.
Thomas or Professor Swing, and
these two devines are consequently
always classed together. Both are
are liberal in their views, both hold
their services, and both are liberal
patrons of the music and the drama
Naturally, they are in no little
demand for weddings, and in this
line, 1 am told, they frequently
meet with some amusing experiences.
At a wedding this week, for instance,
when the Rev. DR.. Thomas officiated
the solemnity of the occasion was
somewhat marred by that enfant ter
rible who ruins 80 many beautiful
scenes. DR.. Thomas speaks IN a re.
markably low tone, and as the clos.
ing words of his prayer were be.
ing softly and impressively whis.
pered, the shrill voice of the
BRIDES little brother piped out right
under the minister's noses "Why,
Mabel, ain't you dreadful 'shamed to
be down here without your dress onu'
The "amen" was quickly said, and
the blushing bride, whose corsage
consisted of little more than a smile
and two shoulder-straps, was relieved
as a friendly hand Jerked that too
truthful child out of sight.-Town

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.
People Should Live 100 Years and En-
joy Life All the While.

ITO grow old gracefully" says the we'll
known DR.. Gardner, sis not the common lot
of all. With advancing years come increased
iniirmities, but theyare by no means unavoid-
able and their presence is due to failure TO
keep up TO their work the various organs OF
the body. The study of the body by SC. ,ntists
furnishes unquestionable evidence that the
Duration of human life may be prolonged TO
100 years"
SO says DR.. Gardner, and yet what more
common than to see prematurely aged,
wltnered and broken down man, or pale
weak and emaciated old lady. The spirit is
look forward only to death. The saddest
thing of all is that this premature age and
breaking down Is needless. 1t! can easily be
avoided by a little care and assisting nature
Just q little, and 1t is upon this point that DR..
Gardner again speaks most clearly
lie says: Science, common sense, and all
experience testify TO the benefits to be derived
from the use of alcoholic stimulants." 1t
should be remembered, however, that they
must be pure, and that of all stimulants
whishyis preferable. The word whisky is de-
rived rom an ancient word meaning 'water
OF life" and 1t is most appropriate name, al
though there is SO much that is unworthy lin
the market. The highest NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
chemists and seicntists-agree, however, that
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky is pure and cannot
the system, renew the life and replace weak
ness and weariness by healthy vigor Be very
careful, however, that you secure only the
genuine; insist on your druggists furnishing
you with 1t and you will certainly find great
benefi ltrom its use

realm. Thus a lie stamped on silver is
supposed to have the highest commercial
potency. Since the last silver Act was
passed by the Congress Of the United
States, two millions of dollars have been
coming into the Treasury as the profit or
seigniorage on silver coinage. About two
millions OF ounces of silver have been
coined monthly into silver dollars: and
thus the creation of silver money goes
steadily on. The mints of the United
States are simply money factories, taking
in bullion valued at from rs to 70 cents
and converting that value in bullion into
a pretended dollar. This dollar passes
current at that rate only because the Gov
ernment of the United States proposes to
redeem it.
Ii the Government of the United States
would tomorrow declare that it would no
longer redeem the silver currency of this
country, it would fall to its bullion value,
and this would be equally true under a
free coinage policy. Free coinage is
worth nothing to the country unless the
Government is willing to guarantee that
the money coined shall exchange on a
parity with gold at tho face of the coinage,
or in accordance with the declaration
stamped on the face of the coin. AS al
ready noted, over two millions of dollars

the United States as profit on the coin
age. Now the difference between free
coinage and the present proceeding is
simply this: The profit of seigniorage
would go to the bullion producer, and
there is no other possible OF conceivable
difference.
If there is scarcity of money for the
commercial transactions of the country,
the present processes Of coinage are re-
lieving it daily. Free coinage could do
no more. What Senator Voorhees, pro-
poses that the Democratic party shall do
is to declare that the owners of bullion
shall have the privilege of taking depre-
ciated metal TO the mints of the United
States and havinga lie stamped on its
face, and thus have the Governmental
the United States make that lie truth by
agreeing to receive this debased coin at
its face value. If Mr.. Voorhees,, or any
otheri man, wants the party which he
belongs to commit suicide, let them put
forth a platform with this drivelling alb
surdity as one of its planks.

THE QUACKERY OF FINANCE.

Senator D. w. Voorhees,, of Indiana.
whose political pedigree begins with the
Knights of the Golden Circle and ends
with the opposition to the enactment of
law which will secure to the electors of
the United States the right of suffrage,
has declared through the medium of the
New York World. that the next Demo-
cratic Convention will certainly insert
free coinage plank in its platform and
permit no uncertain or doubtful express
sion on this subject.
The Senator then says: 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party will then proceed to nomi-
nate man who can consistently stand
on this PLATFORM" and the anti Cleveland
tendencies of the Senator are disclosed
by the statement made to the reporter, of
the high respect he entertained for Mr..
Cleveland, accompanied by the declara-
gentleman to carry Indiana on platform
opposed to the free coinage of silver.
The Democratic party having subsisted
as a negative, is continuously in search
of a fad or an ism to popularize itself with
the voters of the country. 1t is now bid
ding for the votes of the bankrupts. In
the Western States growth has conferred
increment upon property, and the inhab-
itants of these States have been far more
mindful of the speculative rise of real
estate than of the results of sober indus
try. Speculation has reached its limit.
A general condition of bankruptcy has
ensued.
The spectators in silver bullion and
their representatives have been teaching
the people that all the errors of improve
dence and unthrift will be set to rights by
taking piece of silver worth about IS
cents and stamping on the face of it lone

piece of silver worth rs cents to take it to

Out of kilter.

Kilter or keller was an "Anghclsm
long before it was an "Americanlsm.
Skinner, in 1911, has "Kel5er; he Is not
vet in keller, nondum est paratus." 1t
is also given in a reprint of Rays collec-
ton of 1891. The before points TO
Scandinavian origin. CT. Dan. kite, to
truss, tuck up, whence E. kit. Rietz
gives Swed. dial, killer band, band
for holding up tucked up clothes; hltra-
sig, to grid up, tuck up, and fasten. The
metaphor is obvious enough.
This word keller, as it should be
spelled, is given in Johnson's Dictionary.
and derived from the Danish keller, to
grid. A quotation is given from Bar
rows works, where the word is used
Bailey in his chronological Dictionary
derives it from the Latin cultura. Hall
well c'Dictionary of Archaic and Pro
vincial Words'') gives it as used in the
east of England both as a substantive
and as verb. It is word of everyday
use in Surrey and Sussex, in the sense of
order or condition. The Rev. w. D.
Parish, in his Dictionary of the Sussex
Dialect" noticesit in the phrase, This
farm seems in very good 'kelter.'" !
have often heard it used in the same
way, and anything that is out of condi-
ton is described as being ''out O keller"
On reference to the publications Of the
English Dialect society it will be seen
that the word is of very general use
throughout England. In the neighbor-
hood of Whitby it occurs as a verb and
substantive, and in the mid and east
Yorkshire glossaries also; it is used also
in west Cornwall, Hampshire and the Isle
of Wight. In west Somerset, in Sheffield
and in Huddersfeld the word means
money. These references will be sufh-
Gent to show that the expression is not
an Americanism, but that the word has
found, and still finds, aplace In vernacu-
