WASHINGTON, July 25.-A prominent
Democrat who has been. devoting him.
self for some weeks to the study OF DEM
cratic politics in New York has just re-
turned here. On New York, it is feit'
to a greater extent than on any other
State. does the ushaping Of the Demo-
cratic platform and the selection OF a
cand idate next year depend. There
fore the situation of affairs in New
York is OF general and great interest,".
The gentleman above alluded to talked
with all the leaders OF the party in the
State and as he is man of much Keen
ness and good judgment, his conclu-
sions are of value. When asked wnat
he thought the feeling was toward
Cleveland he said: "There can be no
doubt, Notwithstanding the continual
fight made on him in a few papers,
Cleveland is still very strong with the
people. The impression is general
throughout the country that Tammany
is strongly opposed to Cleveland. Twas
astonished on going to New York to
find that this was not the case. On the
contrary, Tammany showed an amount
of enthusiasm for Cleveland
that surprised me. Any mention
OF his name at Tammany meetings is al
ways received with applause. This is
very strong indication OF the drift OF
things. On the other hand, there is no
doubt in the world that Gov. Hill has
the State organization completely under
his control, and the organization is in
perfect shape"
"What is Hill going to do?"
"In the first place, he is going to have
Roswell P. Flower nominated for Gov
ernor. He is going to come to the SEN
ate himself, although he does not care
for the place and never did. He had no
ambition to take the Senatorship and
did so only because he could not help IL.
1t is time that the situation OF affairs
was such at the time that Hill was prac-
tically the only Democrat who could be
elected without delay, every moment
of which threatened the loss OF Demo-
cratic majority and the election OF
Republican. Hill had no choice. IL
by his hesitation a Republican successor
to Evarts had shipped in, Hill would
have been greatly damaged with the
party.
Eyes, Hill is going to have Flower
nominated for Governor and he himself
will be candidate for President. The
wisdom of this move from party
standpoint don't care to discuss. Hill
is a wonderful organizer. l don't think
there is any personal feeling between
him and Cleveland any more than Is
inevitable between men who have SINH
lar aspirations"

GOODWIN TAUGHT HIM POKER,
But the Nan With a Pat Flush Thought
Coote Had Never Played Before.
R0sfon Hernld

Boston Herald.
During a recent conversation with
Charlie Coote, comedian of the "Niobe"
company, asked him if he ever played
poker.
"Ah, yes" he laughingly replied. 81
remember one game at st. Paul. Robert
Cotton and myself had just finished the
production of a new play, entitled For
sake Ne Not, and we were jubilant over
the success Of It's first night. We ad-
journed to hotel. where We met the
leading man Of the company, who, with
several friends, were trying to get up q
gamesof poker.
Knowing us to be Englishmen they
suggested whist. After we had acqui-
esced they intimated that whist was
rather dry for that time of the evening.

"What's that?" l quietly asked.
"Poker," said Cotton.
"Pokerl" 1 replied. "Why, they use
that to poke fires with"

man.
'Oh, yes" said. Il remember. A
funny man, named Goodwin, tried to

man AIMED Stanley.
"Why, I'll teach it to you," said Lip
man. "We'll play for nothing and you'll
see that you'll want to play for some
thing in less than no time"

that we had caught onto the idea of
poker.

Lipman, with face like a parson,
softly intimated that he would risk a
simoleon.
stopped the game to ask what a
simoleon meant.
STANLEY replied, "Checks talk"

his pile.
Cotton whistled "Goodby, Sweetheart,
Goodby," and threw down his hand.
Iassumed a troubled air, but still 1

Another argument as to the meaning

man paused.
In my anxiety, which I have since
discovered is great mistake, l pleaded
to Lipman not to weaken.
Said he, Charley, do not wish to
rob your poor wife OF her dinner to-
morrow" and laid down modest flush
of diamonds, to which, as he was about
to rake the pot up, Exclaimed, Don't;

"Where did you get it?" he gasped.

"Who taught your"

'Why didn't you say Nat when you
said Goodwin in the first instance?"
said Lipman, then burying his face in
his hands he murmured, 81 must have

Goodwin's teaching you; he always held

A Tremendous Barley Farm.

eve have now secured 2500O0 acres
of land in North Dakota for barley
farms, and next spring we will send
thousands of German emigrants to that
state from Ohio, West Virginia and In
diana," said Colonel O. NJ. Towner as
he discussed the future of this great
northern state. Colonel Towner is man
ager of what is best known as the Barley
syndicate of Chicago. During the last
two or three months tho company has
succeeded in securing 100000 acres of
land in North Dakota, on which it is
proposed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,
Norman, Towner, Ramsey, Steele and
Bottineau counties.
It is the opinion of the managers of
this company that barley can be most
successfully gBown in that state. and
they have the conviction Of their belief
sufficiently to purchase these lands and
to send out emigrants from other states.
The Germans are chosen on account of
their knowledge of barley culture for
this purpose. These emigrants will not
be tenants, but owners of the land, it
being sold to them on easy terms. The
crops will be bought by the company
and shipped to all points where there is
demand for barley.-St. Paul Pioneer

To Celebrate the HIarseillaise.

Another effort is being made by the
inhabitants of Choisy-le-Roi, outside of
Paris, to observe with much solemnity
and ceremonial what is vaguely called
the "Centenary of the Marseillaise."
Choisy-le-Roi claims to possess the dust
of Rouget de PIsle- the composer of the
hymn-who was buried there in 1886,
his birthplace being Lons-le-Saulnier, in
the department of the Jura. On this ac-
count the members of the borough coun-
Gil consider that they have the right to
take the initiative in organizing Right
Republican festival this year, as the Mar
seillase, under the title of 'sChant de
Guerre de pArmee du Rhin," was first
heard in 1852. sss
President Carnot is to be asked to be-
come honorary president of the commit
tee of the fete, and appeals for funds
will be made to all the cities, and also
to communes which possess more than
1000 inhabitants No date as yet has
been fixed for the celebration of the CEN
tenary, to which it, is presumed that
every patriotic Frenehman will give his
sentimental and sympathetic-if not
practical and pecuniary- support
