Uncle Dempsy's Dream.

On the waters Of Buzzard,s Day plies busily
from one fishing ground to another little
boat which has . peculiar history, says the
Chicago Herald
Several years ago an old negro wen TO the

most honest aud jolly of fishermen, with all the
courtesy of his race
He knew every foot OF the shore, could tell
by certain mysterious signs known only TO him

squeteagues come in. and could guide the boats

The old couple did not grow rich. Indeed,
they had hard struggle to live. One summer
Demrsy was hired at a low rate by boatm an,
half dozen young men from Harvard on their
vacation.
The young fellows became fond of the patient.
Kindly old man, TO whom they owed the success
of their fishing. One day they said to him:
What do you want in this world, Dempsy?"
His eyes twinkled.
"a boat, sab" he said promptly. "a big DO at.

The young men laughed and left Dempsy in

Eilrs View of watterson's Letter.

1t is question whether Gov Hill and
Editor Watterson, two eminent democratic
leaders, will shake hands as cordially as they
used to when they meet. Editor Watterson
has been in the habit Of giving his advice
pretty freely to members of his party. and
there is no doubt that he has always been
influenced by the best of motives in doing
so. When he wrote to Gov. Hill advising
him to sde-track his presidential aspirations
for 1892, because Mr.. Cleveland had the
right of way, he did what he thought was
for the interest of the Democratic party and
for Gov. Hill. To have his letter character
lied as impertinent and insulting by the
governor is something new in his experience,
and, from what he says about it, he doesn't
like it. Indeed, he says that he is Inundated
by the reflection that his years of service
failed to protect him against the governors
displeasure. In other words, he is surprised
to find that there are democrats who do not
appreciate his unsought advice.
1t is probable that if Gov. Hill had not
forgotten that he received such a letter
from Editor Watterson, and had not
thought that the letter was forgery, he
would not have spoken of it so harshly. He
felt little sore, probably, that anybody
should have thought that Editor Waiter
son, as far back as last November, looked
upon him as having so small chance for
getting his party's nomination for the presi-
dency that he amounted only to a slight
obstruction in Mr.. Cleveland's way.
But Editor Watterson's letter has opened
Gov. Hills eyes to one thing, and that is
that very few democrats outside of New
York ever thought of him seriously in con-
nection with the presidency, and it is proba-
BILE that Gov. Hill himself came to the con-
clusion. before he accepted the senatorship,
that a presidential nomination was out of
his reach. He ought not. therefore, to feel
SO unkindly toward Editor Watterson for
telling him in November what he was forced
to admit as true in January.
Perhaps the editor and the governor will
adjust their differences without unnecessary
delay. They are both democrats OF the
most pronounced type, and there is really
no good reason why either should h.rbor a
| feeling of enmity for the other.

Failing to get single bid for building
torpedo boat is rather a remarkable occur
renee. That no one should wish to take
government construction contract is some
thing unheard of, since the contractors are
not confined to any fixed limit for a bid,
although the appropriation is limited and the
essential inference is that the whole avail
able sum allowed for compensation is less
than any one is willing to take the work
for. But there Yves nothing to prevent con-
tractors from saying how much more they
would be willing to do the work for, as
guide to congress and the departments.

Hostilities have begun in earnest between
Senator Quay and President Harrison over
their old differences on the force bill and
silver questions, the friends of the gadiators
say. Any one who is an impartial judge of
the mental caliber of the two men and has
any personal knowledge of them and their
methods would not be apt to hesitate long
about predicting an easy victory for the
Pennsylvania senator. Why, such an egotist
as the President would hardly afford him
ordinary amusement for an idle hour. Let
them fight it out.

nr. cIevsland,s Let.er on size.

MI CieVsland6 Letter on silver.
Mr. CleveIand's letter against the free
coinage Of silver has set the tongues Of the
politicians wagging. Some Of them are
sure that he has dug his political grave. ana
that his name will not be mentioned in the
national democratic convention in 1922.
Others think that he has improved his
chances for getting the next presidential
nomination Of his party. The fact is, the
predictions as TO the effect the letter will
have upon his political fortunes are wort
very little.
When he wrote his celebrated tariff mes
sage 10 congress some Of his warmest adj
mirers declared that he had done that which
would prevent his denomination. Others
said that he had made fatal blunder. As
matter of fact he had a stronger
hold upon the people than before
the message was written. He was renomi-
mated 1t is true he was defeated, but his
defeat was not caused by that message.
And there is no doubt that the over whelm-
ing victory of the democrats last fail was
due largely to that message. Democrats
who had condemned MIR. Cleveland for
sending such message TO congress admitted
after the election last Novem Der that the
message was not a mistake.
Mr.. Cleveland is not man to leave the
people in doubt as 70 his position on any pub
lie question. He has always been honest and
straightforward in his dealings with them.
He has opinions and he has the courage to
express them And the people admire him
all the more for his frankness Even those
who do not agree with him in his views on
the silver question respect him for letting it
be known where he stands on
that question. They would rather
vote for him for President than for man
who lodges great issues. because they feel
they can trust him.
Mr.. Cleveland could have remained silent
on the silver question just as well as not.
He does not occupy any official position. and
he was on record with respect to that ques-
ton. And there was chance that the
question would have ceased to be an issue
before 1892 But if he had said nothing he
would have broken his record for courage
and frankness.
He adopted the honest course, which is
always the best course, and in the end it
will appear that his letter did not injure his
popularity. He stands just as good chance
of being the next democratic candidate for
President as he ever did, Notwithstanding
the fact that great many politicians think
otherwise.

Gould and the Governor.
From the Ney York World


That was famous meeting which
Has just failed to occur
Between the richest of the rich
And Georgia's governori
Not since North Cardinals head
Unto South Carolina said,
Il am athirst; do you forget
It's been long time since we metrt
Has there been such a meeting as
This one, that didn't come to passl
with all his gold, this Money King"
Bold Northen said, has not,
That can see, done anything
To smooth the laborers lot.
The methods which he has pursued
In other states, if here renewed,
Would scarce rebound to public good:
And that is why say would
Prefer, as governor, to be
Apart from strangers such as hel"
On passed the hundred millionaire,
And doors on every side
To do him homage here and there
Flew quickly open wide!
But people soon began to say:
I'VE don't have rulers every day
Who've strength of mind enough to sea
The dangers Of plutocracy!"
And thus bold Northen's southern name
May, linked with Gould's. go down to fame

Every public utterance of Mr.. Cleveland
more pronouncedly proclaims him man of
moral courage and more of statesman
than any one that politics has evolved in
recent years. Firmly standing by the posi-
tion he long ago took upon the subject Of
silver coinage is greatly to his credit and
probably exhibits more stamina and tenacity
of purpose than any other prominent public
man of the present day would venture to
assert.

Among the multitude of depositors who
were duped by the latest Monte Cristo of
banking who recently vanished from Paris
were no less than 5000 priests. Their con-
fidence was superinduced by the rascaps
sagacity in paying liberal tribute to the
pontif and getting in return papal bless
ing signed in autograph. That would seem
to suggest papal fallacy or something akin

Literary Note.

The New York Fire Departn 'ent is
vorld-renowned for its efficiency, and
every one will be interested to know of
the methods and appliances for fight
ing fire in the metropolis, which are
most vividly described and splendidly
illustrated in the March number OF
Dcmorcst's Family Magazine, just ar
rived. AS usual, this magazine IS brlm-
ful and running over with good things
something of special interest to each
member of the family. Those with
artistic tastes will be delighted with
the paper on The Art Schools Of New
York, which arc most charmingly dis
coursed of by one who has had inti-
mate acquaintance with those most
prominent, and the accompanying
illustrations are drawn from life; those
who long for country home of their
own may learn how their dreams may
be realized at small expense, by read
ing about cottages that can be built tor
less than 81, loo, in the paper entltled
Inexpensive Homes; there are fright
stories, and the usual well-stored de-
partments, and nearly three hundred
handsome illustrations. Every number
of Demorest's Family Magazine brings
its quota of pleasant surprises, and
every family should enjoy them: 1t is

More Indi ans in North America Now
Than Ever Before.

From the Albany Evening Journal.
"One of the most curious and wide
spread of all popular delusion is that
which relates to the supposed steady
determination of the Indians of North
America before the march of ciNillza-
ton. 1t was all officer of the Bureau OF
Ethnology at Washington who made
this remark. GAS matter Of fact" he
added, "the Indians are prohal'.'7;r re
numerous on this contipe1t to-day than
they have eye1-0een in the past, and
they areootteadily increasing in numbers
from year to year.
"There are now in the United States
265, 900 Indians. When Columbus
landed they were almost undoubtedly
of less number. The Indians for the time
lived altogether by the chase. Under
such conditions an enormous extent OF
territory is necessary to supply tribe
with food. Each tribe, as things were
then, ranged over a great eXpanse
appropriated to its own use in the pur-
suit of game and fish. Between one
tribes hunting ground and that Of an
other was alwaysan extensive dividing
strip. The whole country mapped out
on this and could not sustain more than
a small population.
"There is the best possible reason fol
believing that two centuries and a hall
ago the Indians in what is now the
United States east of the Mississippi
did not altogether exceed $4,000"
