A Family with Traditions.

Sometimes we come upon family unique
as bit of genre painting. No need of
family portraits or a yellow title deed to
proclaim this a house with traditions. The
walls breathe them, as old chests breathe
lavender. Chairs, tables and trumpery
knickknacks upon the mantels and the
corner shelves take airs to themselves as
having had their beauty at compound in
terest years and years, and all but join in
the conversation. Is a story told? Age
has lent it a bouquet fine as of wine in cob
webbed vaults Is a song sungP Ten to
one it is a very silly old song, but it has the
charm of an heirloom. And as you watch
the family move and speak and smile, you
are dimly aware that it is in accordance
with laws and customs all their own.
They live in an atmosphere of Indian
summer haze. Hence they are not ferret
eyed for flaws of society or character, and
may never be heard of among the worlds
master minds. But they are very gentle
livers, deeply human hearts, Their web of
tradition is as prophetic of sunny weather
as are gossamer webs in autumn. Often
they are of the stuff of which martyrs are
made.-Harper's Bazaar.

A Quick Retort.

A leading counsel for the defendant in
an accident damage case, where the injury
had been occasioned by jet Of steam
scalding the compliments back and neck
as he was driving past the defendants
place, argued to the jury that the plaintiff
was guilty OF contributory negligence, and
should have looked up to avoid the acct
dent The quick witted counsel for the
complainant retorted, "Oh, no; if he had
looked up, instead of suing for damage to
the back of our head we should have had
to charge you for the loss of both eyes. ~

It would be hard to say which is the most

Of laziness, too. Personally The Listener
does not like an Authorization in a date, and
consequently does not like No. 5. We ought
at least to have the appearance, with our
friends and the general public, Of having
enough time at our disposal to write out the

The letter dated XII. "a, $780,, was written

an evidence Of eccentricity rather than of

be consistently classical it should no doubt

The Fight in Ohio.

The fight in Ohio grows interesting, and
If half the reports are true, Democracy's
prospects are becoming brighter every
day, notwithstanding the chickering's of
Governor Campbells enemies in Cincin-
natl. The Georgetown News-Democrat
gives the latest from the field of battle.
Here is what it says: "Twenty-nine here
tofore Republicans in one factory in
Springfield declare they will vote the
Democratic ticket next November.
"Thirty-one Republican sheep-raisers
in one township of Harrison County have
announced that they will vote for Gov
enor Campbell.
'In Lake County, in one school dis
trict, six heretofore Republicans have
come out for Campbell and the whole
Democratic ticket.
"Seven Paulding County Republican
farmers who heard John Sherman speak
at that point, went right from the Sena-
tors meeting to ex-Speaker Hysell's
Democratic paper, subscribed for it and
said they would hereafter vote the Dem
ocratic ticket.
"Daniel Crawford, one of the most
prominent citizens of Eastern Ohio and
ex-Renublican member of East Liverpool
City Council, refuses to stomach Nc
Kinley's rot this year. He has hereto
fore been prominent high tariff man,
and his aoy has produced a genuine SEN

Reciprocity Queries.

If it be beneft-as undoubtedly it is
to South America, Cuba and San Do
mingo to be relieved from tariff taxes on
staple necessaries OF their people, why
would not the same amount of free trade
benefit the United States?
If the tariff be not tax on consumers,
why are these foreign people congratu-
lated on getting American products free
of duty.
Are foreigners better than our own
people that they should be relieved by
American diplomacy of tariff burdens,
while our own duties are heaped SO per
cent. higher.
If limited free trade with our poorest
customers is so great a gain would not
freer trade with our richer, greater and
far better customers be more desirable
thing?
These questions concern the people,

City Elections,

The Constitutional convention has
made some changes in the sections in
reference to city elections. AS the mat
ter now stands, it is as follows:
Section l74-All city and town officers
in the State shall be elected or appointed
as provided in the charter of each re-
spective town and city until the general
election in November, 1898, and until
their successors shall be elected and quail
itied, at which time the terms of all such
officers shall expire, and at that election
and thereafter, as their terms of office
may expire, all officers required to be
elected in cities and towns by this Con-
stitution or by general laws enacted in
conformity to its provisions shall be
elected at the general elections in Novem-
ber, but only in the odd years, except
members OF municipal legislative boards,
who may be elected either in the even or
odd years, or part in the even and part

HERE'S political straw that shows the
drift OF the current in Little Rhody."
At the municipal election in Newport,
that State, this week, the Democrats
elected their Mayor, full board of six
Aldermen, and eight of fifteen Council
men, with one failure to elect. This
majority of three, and possibly five, on
joint ballot, gives them control of all the
city offices whose election is by the City
Council. Last year the Republicans had
the Mayor, five Aldermen and nine
Councilmen, on joint ballot a majority of
seven. 1t was the first victory for the
Newport Democrats in many years.
