Ee Was Trying "go Get Even"

The passengers in cable car going west in
One-hundred- andtwenty- fifth street were
treated to an amusing little incident the other
evening. The principal actor was a stout,
heavily built German. When the conductor
came in to collect the fares, soon after leaving
Third Avenue, the German tried to attract his
attention by poking him with his cane
Don't bodder me now, " said the conductor
who was also German, wait till get trough -
But the passenger persisted. and tue conductor
persisted in paying no attention to him.
He's Dutchman; he don't understand Eng
lish. remarked the passenger, after fruitless
effort to gain the conductors attention. Finally
the conductor listened TO him, and the passen-
ger said he wanted to get off at Lenox ave, ''dis
side"
"Lenox avenue-all right won't stop the
car within 100 feet of dis side -
" on stop de car at Lenox avenue dis side
Seer"
This made no impression on the conductor,
says the New York tribune who again declared
that he would not stop the car within 100feet of
dds side"
You know dere's policeman dere? IN
hat you arrested" exclaimed the angry Ger
man. The conductor, nothing daunted by this
west side OF Lenox avenue.
Meanwhile, the German passenger had gone
out on the platform. When the car stopped he
did not show any signs of getting off. "Gong
to get OFF," said the conductor But the man
stood STILL and the car was started again. About
100 feet further on the man clamored to get
on. The conductor stopped the car, and the
German got off amid the smiles Of the other

A Musical Canine.

The Huntington Tenn.) correspondent Of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat tells a story Which is
made appropriate to Pittsburg by the presence
OF the cultivated CANNES now exhibiting on

made for Polly next TO the aisle. Her presence
was not noticed by more than half dozen in
the large audience. She sat up so straight and

Who win Be Speaker

Level headed democratic congressman ex-
press the opinion that there would be no
contest for speaker If Representative Mills.
of Texas, were not SO impulsive and had not
temper which frequently gets beyond his
control. He is certainly q man Of ability
and he has an excellent public record His
temper. however. is so Objectionable that
many democrats who have a sincere regard
for him will refuse to support him for
speaker.
Ofall the candidates Representative Crisp,
of this state, is regarded as the ablest par
Humanitarian. As a presiding officer, he
gives great satisfaction. 1t is urged against
him, however, that he was overcautious
during the last session of congress. In
deed, his caution, it is claimed, amounted
to timidity, and that it cost him friends.
Mr.. Crisp, however, is not a timid man by
any means. What was characterized as
overcaution was only an exhibition, per-
haps, of such moderation as, in his opinion,
should marke the conduct of a man wiz as
pires to the difficult and responsible pe&ition
Of speaker.

the speakership. He has many admirable
qualities, and if he does not reach the goal
of his ambition he will not be TO blame He
has some faults, however, one of the most
conspicuous of which is the lack Of ability
to decide quickly the best thing to be done
in an emergency.
There are, of course, a number of other
candidates, and it may even be finally
decided that good policy requires that a
northern man shall be made speaker. There
is no doubt that the selection of northern
man will be urged strongly on the ground
that, as the important places on nearly all
the committees must necessarily be filed
with southern men, because of those who
have had large legislative experience they
are greatly in the majority, a northern
man should be made speaker.
But it is apparent even at this early day
that the speakership contest is not going to
be settled without struggle in which there
will be more than ordinary interest. The
large majority which the democrats have in
the present House tends to increase the doubt
relative to the outcome of the contest.

Bismarck's Parliamentary Enemy.

Does Bismarck mourn the death of DR..
Windthorst, the eminent parliamentary
leader of the Catholic party of Germany?
1t may be that he does in his way, although
he and the doctor we're bitter political
enemies for many years. DR.. Windthorst
was a great mau-almost as great a man as
Bismarck. In some respects he was mucn
shrewder. Germany has few greater men
than he was. He worsted Bismarck in
many a parliamentary struggle and finally
won from him the majority that enabled
him to carry on the government on the lines
that he wished.
DR.. Windthorst was more than so years
old at the time Of his death, but almost up
to the last moment he was active in the
Reichstag. He was very small man with
very big head-a head full of brains-with
which he used to get the best of his political
opponents. And the times he got the best
of them are too numerous to mention. The
German people called him "The Little Ex-
cellency." He was extremely popular with
the women. With the women on his side
he had less trouble to win the men to his
views.
Nothing in his life gave him so much
satisfaction as the separation between
Bismarck and the emperor. He claimed
some of the credit for the breach between
them, and when the iron chancellor
went into retirement he had things
more his own way in the Reichstag. Indeed
the emperor was forced to make concessions
to him to gain the support of the
Catholic party. He needed the support
of that party, for without it he would not
have been able to carry on the government.
The old politician went to his final rest in
peace with all the world except Bismarck.
He could not forget the latter's harshness in
their parliamentary debates. His memory
will live in the hearts of the German people.
Many of his sayings have become household
words with them.

Confidence Needed in Commerce

When President Eliot of Harvard uni
versity was recently invited to address the
Merchants Exchange of st. Louis, he talked
about commercial affairs to the assembled
traders in pretty clear English, as be-
came practical educator. Some of his
statements were so perfectly plain that
few republican members of the body tried
to make themselves and others believe that
bis language indicated "snobbish" tendon
cies, because he SO manifestly regarded high
tariff as fallacy born of ignorance, which
he advised the business men to try to eradi-
cate by means of the newspaper and a cam
paign of education. Still, the gentleman's
language was the perfection of polished
courtesy all the way through.
One of his strongest statements was that
anent the financial outlook. 1t was practi-
cal and pointed. Among the great ques-
tons Of the day, he argued, the first is the
currency question. Continuing, he added:
ut is not so much currency as confidence
that is wanted, and this is understood by
intelligent men of the west as well as the
east. Prosperity in business is founded on
confidence, not more or less of a circulating

is not in position to condemn that sort Of
financiering, whatever be might think of
the equity of the process as a commercial

But there was one point in the incisive
address of the educator that no one could

are nevertheless well founded, and convinc-

Post Mortem Before Death.

The following story is told by Senator Man
derson OF peculiar cross-examination of a
quack, says the New York Tribune. A number
of years ago Mr.. McSweeny was one Of the most
celebrated criminal lawyers in the state of
Ohio. He was noted for his eloquence and his
adroitness. He was tall with broad large figure.
His large, smooth face was set off by mass of
curing. sandy bair. He dressed in rich and ex-
penslve manner aud always wore around his
neck, twisted in and out of the folds of RULED
shirt front, a large gold watch chain. He had
quiet way in examioing witnesses. He sought
never TO alarm the witness he desired to entrap.
Once he was examining a man charged with
having committed murder. The man had stab
bed another. The wound was a Slight one Mr.
McSweeny was able TO show that the wounded
t maR h had diS been fire treated badly and
the treatment rather than of the
original wound. He first showed by the testi-
mony of the alleged Physician that he had put
plaster over the stab. This was the first evi-
dence of the malpractice. Mr.. McSweeny
brought all OF this out in the gentlest way as if
he admired the method of treating wound by
covering it with plaster. as the witness said
bad been done in this particular case Mr.. Nc
Sweeny examined him with the most respect
full Difference, but, still, the jury was a country
jury, and McSweeny was not satisfied that he
had shown fully to their compre tension the full
depth of the ignorance of the witness. Toward
the close of the examination he stepped pack
and picked up an old law book. He pretended
that it was medical work. II suppose" said
McSweeny, that you are familiar with this
ork-'Bushey on Surgery"
Perfectly" said the witness.
You agree in the main with all the principles
laid down by this distinguished authorS"
Absolutely" said the witness
Then, need hardly ask said Mr.. Nc
Sweeny' that you agree with the great au-
thoIity upon the little importance of whether
post mortem examination is held before or after
the death of patient?"
Not the slightest Importance said the wit
ness.
That is all, said Mr.. McSweeny. as he bowed
grac iously to the witness and turned to the Jury
for the acq initial, which was promptly given
him.

Some of the patriotic sons of Erin seem to
regard Mr.. Parnelrs latest manifesto as
more in the nature of plea for the ap-
proval of Parnell than for the relief of the
Irish people. 1t has much more to say
about his own individual merits than about
the necessities and sufferIngs of the Irish
tenantry. Before chipping in too freely
for the ostensible benefit of ''the cause" they
appear prudently disposed to inquire for
whose benefit and for what "causs" they
are contributing.
