Who Should Bow First.

A good deal of nonsense has been talked
about the question of whose place it is to bow
first when lady and gentleman meet upon
the street or in any public assembly.
1t is very absurd to say that man should
always wait until lady has recognized him.
In this, as in most other matters, common
sense and mutual convenience are the only
guides. Many ladies are nearsighted; many
others find great difficulty in remembering
faces.
The important thing, of course, Is that a
man should not presume.
When two people meet who are really &C.
quainted it is not the man who should neces-
sari!y bow first, or the lsdy-it is whichever
of them is the first to perceive and recognize
the other

SINGING BY THE WAY.
BY W. NJ. L. JAY.

BY W. NJ. L. JAY.
By meadow bank, by forest glade,
A broOklet flows along,
And in the sun and in the shade.
1t sings the same sweet song.
A rapid here, shallow there,
A Sand-bar farther on
1t sings and SparkleS everywhere,
As life and song were one.
Sharp rocks and matted stalks it finds
Drawn up to bar its way;
1t widenS, narrOws, leaps and winds,
And sings its CHEEKY lay.
1t smooths the stones with touches soft
Repeated DER and DER;
1t freShenS many crop and croft.
And Singeth evermore.
1t feeds fountains silver spray,
1t turns busy MILL
And to its work as TO Its play
Goes singing, singing still.
No thirsty mouth, no dropping crest.
No life so great or small,
But unto each 1t bares its breast,
And sings its song for all.
And be its way or dark or bright,
1t sings and seeks the sea,
Rejecting every CLEAN of Light
Lord, give such grace to me!

THE BRAZILIAN SITUATION.

at Each Other.
\ dispatch from Montevido says that
affairs are at a standstill as between
Fonseca and the jjunta of Rio Grande do
Sui. This is not because either party is
afraid to fight, but because they cannot
get at each other The juntas naval
force hardly deserves the name of
fleet, and is chiefly composed of small
steamers that were used by the govern
ment for custom house purposes. There
is also a gunboat or two, but none that
could cope in open waters with the
powerful squadron at the command of
Fonseca. On the other hand, the con-
ditiOn of the interior is impossible for
artillery, the roads in the woods being
mere pathways, and this and
the bars that protect Rio Grand do
water inlet that gives access to
Porto d'Alege, make it extremely diff
cult for Fonseca to bring either tormid
able naval or military force to bear
against the province which refused to
recognize his supremacy. The two par
ties, therefore, are for the present in
condition of reserved hostility. Fonse
ca may at any moment succeed in over
coming the barriers that stand
in the way of invasion, and
the Junta may grow bold enough
to strike an offensive blow: but
for the present the contest is confined
to an interchange of messages. The
Junta has a military force that would of
fer powerful resistance on its own
ground to any attack by Fonseca's
troops. The fighting reported has been
little more than desultory encounters
in the Rio Grande province
between the forces of the Junta and
small bodies of regular troops that
refused to give up their adherence to
Fonseca. In these encounters the Jun
ia has been successful, and the whole
province is now substantially in obedi-
ence to the Junta. Uruguay continues
to maintain strict neutrality, and the
numerous refugees at Monteyideo have
bee:. cautioned that they may not use
the territory of Uruguay as base of
operations against Brazil.

WOLVES IN CHICAGO.
A Trairie Wolf Wanders Into the City,

Chicago South Side citizens had an
exciting time with a real, live wolf, on
the 23d. Just where the animal came
from is not known, but he is supposed
to have drifted down from the north
with the recent cold wave. The first
intimation that the residents had of the
arrival of the stranger was his appear
ance on Indiana Avenue, near Twenty
fifth Street. He was large, :. gaunt
gray beast, and those who first
saw him supposed him to be half
starved dog, but the savage manner in
which he chased a small dog into a
yard and then stood snarling and snap
ping outside the iron fence aroused the
curiosity of those who saw him. He
was evidently somewhat bewildered by
his surroundings for he SHE'D away
from pedestrians, even while glaring
hungrlly al them, and skulked behind
the shade trees. Once he appeared on
the point of springing upon passing
child. but Just then he was started by a
shout and the dog-catcher wagon came
in sight on its daily rounds and cap
tured the wolf

crop in the James River Valley. From
Mcpherson County to Ianaton the
crop is enormous beyond Imagination.
In the village of Eureka, p, 900 bushels
of wheat were marketed in one day last

50 per cent. of the corn is still in the
field, and thousands Of bushels have

Of the state. the farmers haul their
grain sixty miles to the elevators of the
large towns. Extra trains with every
available ear are continuously at work.
The trouble is an Insufficient number
of cars and locomotives to do the work.
Much TO the relief of Iowa people
and grain shippers, information has
been received from Chicago that the
grain blockade has been raised. Rail
road agents have been notified to re-
ceive and ship all grain offered for Chr
cago and Eastern points. From the
quantity of grain now being poured into
Chicago the danger of another blockade
Is not altogether removed.

A Democratic Opinion of Mckinley and
the Future.

The Hon. William Mckinley is one of
the most eminent men in the Republi-
can party. He is able, vigorous, high
minded, old enough for public honors,
and young enough for ambition to rock
his hopes with It's most Irresistible pow
er. In the Republican National Con-
vention Of 1855 he became recognized
as one of his party's available states
men. But for his stalwart virtue the
name of the candidate presented be-
fore the convention of the Ohio dele
CATION. of which he was chairman,
would have been withdrawn and its
own offered in it's place, with the GER
taintv of powerful support from other
quarters. He refused TO reach out for
honors rendered across his loyalty to the
gentleman he had been commissioned TO
support, and so kept his self-respect
and the respect Of every citizen Of the
United States.

FARMERS FORM A PARTY.
TIE Alliance Taken Into the Peoples
Party Camp.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 19.-The
Peoples party has captured the Alli-
ance, and the Alliance has split on the
sub-treasury plan. These are the net re-
suits of to-day's sessions of the various
farmers organizations now gathered
here. The evidence of the split was
public before that of the capture.
hen the supreme council of the Ali
ance met this morning everybody but
delegates was excluded from the hall.
Even Congressman Jerry Simpson had
to go. Then the protest of the anti-5ub-
treasury people was taken up, and
somewhat animated debate occurred as
TO the best means Of disposing of il with
the least possible friction. After two
hours of wrangling the committee of the
antis was informed that they could not
be heard unless they furnished the
council with copy of the protest.
This the ants refused to do unless they
could present their protest III person,
and that ended negotiations between
the two wings of the Alliance. The
memorial respectfully and earnest
ly protests against any action of
the supreme council that proposes to
commit the Farmers Alliance and In
provision be made by the federal Con-
gress for government loans of money to
individual citizens upon farm mort
cages as security, or to the demand for
government ownership or control of
railroad property and transportation.
The executive committee OF the anti
sub-treasury party will now proceed 10
Texas, where l27 sub-alliance have al
ready declared against the sub-treasury
scheme, and will begin the work of or
gunizing a new Alliance. \ call for
national convention will probably be
issued tomorrow.
The capture of the Alliance 10y the
Peoples party was practically accom-
plished two or three DAYS ago. but the
full extent of the capture was not APP

chosen vice president, j. IL. Turn

tional lecturer George +. Washburn.
of the national executive committee of
the Peoples party. stated that the lead
ers of that party were jubllant over the
election of President Polk. OF the four
great leaders in the Alliance, Messrs.
Livingston, Macune, Terrell ana Polk,
the latter was regarded as the one favor
able to independent political action.
The election OF II. l.. Loucks, of South
Dakota, as vice-president, is regard
ed as greater victory from the
fact that he Is a member of the national
committee of the Peoples party. The
fact that a large number OF Farmers
Alliance delegates are also members OF
the other industrial organizations and
working together would indicate that
the trend of their action was toward the
unitication of all and the direction of
independent political action.

RUSSIA CANNOT BORROW.
Chances of Peace Increased by Failure TO
Raise Funds.

Berlin papers, on apparently good
grounds, associate the Russian ukase
prohibiting the export of wheat and
wheat products with the failure of the
overtures of =, NIshnegradsky. the
Russian finance minister, to Berlin
tinanclers to reopen the Ger
man market to the Russian
loans. Mendelssohn and other
financial houses have again been III con-
sultation with the government with
reference TO the subject. The kreuz
Ieitung states that this time the gov
ernment, instead of declining to indi-
cate what the bankers ought to do,
definitely indicated that the guaranty
offered ~ Russia did not suffice to
justify official approval OF German
credit being ventured in the loans.
1t is understood that diplomatic
approaches through Count Won Schou-
valoff, the Russian ambassador at Ber-
lin, on the attitude Of the government,
received an equally decisive rebuff.
The liasco which the French syndicate
made of the last Russian loan has enor-
mouslv increased the financial difficult
ties of Russia. NJ. Nishnegradsky has
been forced to relieve the syndicate of
g. 600. 900 out of the 10000, 600

NAL that the Eothschilds have taken
over 5000. 600 is partially true. Bonds
amounting to GS,0oo 900 have been
placed in the Rothschilds keeping with
no responsibility attached TO their future

syndicate is relieved of a burden of

Dl MOnteTCOle, the
er, q Pauper at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 24.-From an
Italian count and the husband of
Young American heiress, to pauper in
mate OF the Philadelphia aims house.
This is the transformation that has
come over the Count dl Monter-
cole within twelve months. In that
period the Count has furnished plenty
of material for sensational stories. His
wife was Miss Virginia Knox, Pitts
burg helress, who secured divorce
from him some time ago, after having
had him arrested several times for
threats and violence. After the
bonds had been sundered the
Count sunk down to such a
low financial ebb that he was admitted
to the almshouse, and on one or two oc-
casions was committed 10 the house OF
correction for breaches of the peace.
The ordinary routine OF work OF the
almshouse, however, is not to the
Counts liking, and he recently entered
a formal protest, setting forth that ne
WAS of a delicate and sensitive nature !;
that menial work was good enough for
peasants, but altogether out OF the
line ol what might be expected from
gentlemen, and that he did not propose
to lower his dignity by breaking stones,
washing floors, or performing any of
the other duties to which paupers are
assigned. Instead of sitting in solemn
conclave on this protest, the authorities
incontinently thrust the Count into a
cell reserved for insubordinates and
kept him on bread and water until his
excessive dignity had somewhat abated.
Recently an investigation into his
sanity was made, but the physicians
declared him TO be compos nentos, and
ne was put back to work

In the language of the Evening Wis
consin, ''the result of the state elections
is of SO mosaic character that each of
the grea. parties will derive some con-
ISOLATION therefrom." There was hardly
chance TO plant a hope of Republican
success in New York. The tremendous
Democratic malorltles IN New \ Ork and
Brooklyn seem to make 1t next to an
impossibility for the Republicans to
carry the state in an off year. When
these two cities pile up 10000 or $4,000
Democratic majority, it requires extra
ordinary effort and splendid harmony
of action among the Republicans of the
rural districts TO overcome such an
opposition vote. There was very little
Mckinleyism IN the New York cam
palgn. The Democrats everywhere III
the state, especially in the two great
cities, needed the cry of Cleveland and
Hill that the state must be carried at all
hazards IN order TO put it in line for
'92. Even tie disgruntled county
Democracy, which had had all kinds of
indignities heaped upon it by Tapmany,
was alarmed and forgot its resentment.
Cleveland in all his speeches and in his
innumerable letters and interviews kept
reiterating, .'If you lose this year YOU
will lose next year" II had its effect
River. and this influence was just as ap-
parent in the rural districts as in the
shadow Of Tammany Hall, and the re-
suit was a big majority for Flower. 1t
seems that nothing but a presidential
campaign Will wake up the Republicans
in the state of New York, and herein
lies the difficulty of the Republicans
carving the state in an off year.
The Republican victory in Ohio Is
significant. There the Republicans
| made a square issue on protection.
They were bold about it. They did not
monkey with side issues, or turn the
campaign into one of personal abuse.
1t was fair and square. Mckinley and
the Mckinley bill and an honest silver
dollar. or Campbell and low tariff and
free and unlimited coinage of debased
silver dollar Gov Campbell evaded
the silver issue, and plunged into the
tariff discussion, and was badly beaten
at the polls. 1t is 8 strange fact that
| Mckinley lost votes IL tie cities where
the greater number of workingmen
lived and to whom protection is a
