A STORY OF LOVE AND DIsAP-
PoINTMENT.
BY LoRnAINr DIMoNp


Two chums were walking out one day,
Whose names were Jim and Sam,
And one did TO the other say,
'My sweetheart is a lamb;
"Her eyes just like the heavens are
Upon a summer day;
Her voice the @oian Tyre
That melts in sweets away"
"why, Jim, my lad, you are in love-
And he replied II am;
And If you knew, my futile dove,
You'd sink far deeper, Sam.
"Tve promised to meet her tonight,
But OIL dare not gol
Greater misfortune can not write
Now, Sam, what shall dor
~ will write your letters, Jim;
Now let us hasten home.
Your eye no longer shall be dim,
You must no longer moan,"
They hurried into Jim's abode;
He brought the pen and ink,
And then and there each took chair
And sat him down to think.
"Eow hurry, jim, If must write;
You tell me what to say;
can not stay with you all night
Time hastcns swift away.
"Tell her that she's like the pearl,
So precious. pure and rare;
Tell her she is the dearest girl
That I've seen anywhere;
"Tell her she's like the pansies sweet;
Tell her she's like the rose;
And make the sentences complete
With kisses, 1 suppose.
''Tel her her lips are full of bliss,
And call her lamb and dove
Tell her she's fit for God to kiss,
And tell her I'm in love"
"Hold hard" said Sam, "'tis getting dark;
Where are you her to meetP'
"shell be at the Hillsite park"
Said Jim, upon Sixth street."
"But, Jim, this ink is watered-gray;
This pen won't make mark.
I'll get another" and away
He went-to Hillsite park.
= Up and down he paced the park,
And, watchful, fingered there.
How throbs his browl how beats his heart
So full of loves despair.
"I'll see that girl-she is pearl =
I'll see that girl, or bust

'what is that coming down the pathr

Or all appearances it hath.

They kiss, and hug, and whisper.
The moon peeped out, and he said "HemV
For he had Rugged his sister.

FUSION IN THE N0RTHwEsr.

II has always been expected that the Or
ganizatiOn known as the Peoples party and
the Democrats would work together in GER
tain States in which the Republicans have a
plurality but not q majority Of the entire
vote. The Democrats are quite willing to
give the Peoples party the electoral votes
in consideration of votes for Democratic
candidates for Congress. While the Demo-
Gratis might prefer to elect Cleveland by the
electoral colleges they are content in the
present condition of the contest to make
bargains that tend to throw the election into
the House. The Democratic plan Of fusion
with the Peoples party is not In Itself bad
one. but 1t is one OF those plans that rarely
work as expected. In the present case
many of the Peoples party are Republicans
in straight issue between the two old par
ties. They would prefer Harrison to Cleve
and if one must be elected. When, how
ever. this element OF the Peoples party be-
come convinced that the success OF their
electoral vote In three or four North estern
States will really give them no political in
tiuence they must naturally choose between
the two tickets, one of which must succeed.
There has never been an election in which
three parties were contestants the third
party TO which had so little show as at pres
ent. The fact that the Democrats have the
House by so large majority OF States re-
lieves the result Of contest in that body from
all doubt. Ii the Democrats bad but one or
two States more than half there might be
ghost of show for the Peoples party to
hold the balance of power. But with the
Democrats in complete possession Of thirty
States out of forty-four nothing but the
death or disability of Mr.. Cleveland can
prevent his election if the choice deyolves
upon the House.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

&When the Republican national conveD-
ton adjourned. Platt. the Republican boss,
departed in an unpleasant frame of mind.
Harrison had been renominated in spite OF
all Plat could do. Platt returned to New
York and assumed an attitude Of indiffer-
ence to the success of the party. His friends
announced that he might be placated, and
that unless he was the Democrats would
carry the State. But by one move after
another, Platt was sborn of much of his
power. The President did not send for
him, nor give any token of uneasiness at
the lack of interest MIR. Platt seemed to
take IN the pending campaign. In time,
however. 1t became apparent that the
party could do without Platt much better
than Platt could do without the party. AS
soon as Platt became convinced that he was

which never goes out Of its way to speak a
good word for Harrison, now congratulates
him on the discovery of the process by
which Plat was made to revolve.
When the Democratic national conyen-
ton adjourned, Senator Hill, the Demo-
cratic boss, returned to New York also in
an unpleasant frame of mind. His case
was even worse than that of Platt. Hill
had been candidate before the convention
with solid delegation from his State be-
hind him and had been defeated. Cleveland
easily got the two-thirds vote required to
nominate. Not only was Hill overthrown,
but the great State he represented had been
reduced TO the ranks. In the face of re-
peate1 declarations by the leading New
York Democrats that Cleveland could not
carry thatState, the convention nominated
Cleveland. Figuratively, it snapped its fin

gers at New York and its candidate. More
than that 1t put in the platform plank
that very large proportion of the Demo-
Gratis of tho State consider fatal TO its in
terests.
The latest advices are that Cleveland has
pIacated Hill by surrender TO Tammany.
The candidate is reported to have promised
the Tammany chiefs that in the event of his
election he will allow that organization to
name the Federal officials for the State.
Mugwumps were not to be considered. 1t
was they who had procured the nomination
of Cleveland, but the candidate felt assured
that he could not be elected with out the aid
Tammany alone could give him. Cleveland
therefore became a spoke in the wheel and
revolves with the rest, while Tammany
supplies the motive power. Both Patt and
Hill have been plaeated. but the latter runs
the machine, while the former runs with it.

NoN-PARTIsAN NoMINA1IoNs.

An Anxious Inquirer" asks TIE CALL
if 1t expects former members Of the munlci-
pal government to do better service under
a Non-Partisan administration than they
have done under a Republican or Demo-
cratic administration, as the case may have
been. THE CALI answers distinctly in the
affirmative. The Non-P Partisans will re-
move the clogs on good government What
can be expected of head of q department
when he has to make room for the political
strikers Of the party which gave him his
Office? Can he say to the bosses that he
will limit the number of employees 10 his de-
psrtment to the needs of the Office, and, con-
seQueRtly. that he can give the bosses no
place except when they need men selected
| for their ability to do good service? 1t is
not in human nature. as it is developed in
| either national or municipal politics, TO re-
slst entirely the appeals of men who hold
| the strings OF party management The
official himself may be all right, but the
system which exposes him TO such influence
is all wrong. The Non-Partisan con yention
has deprived its members of all influence
over appointments. No man who sits In the
Non-Partisan convention can ask favor of
person the convention may 0minate on
| the ground of having worked to procure
such nomination. In respect to the Board
| of Supervisors. the effect Of freedom from
! boss influence Will be even more marked.
| There has not been a board elected for some
years majority Of which was not under
certain Obligations to the bosses Of the par
| ties TO which they belonged. In some cases
nominations we're given on special pledges
| to vote as directed on certain measures that
were expected to come before the board.
| The occasional nomination of an indepen-
| dent man proves nothing. The last Repub-
| lican boss nominated Ellert, for example,
not because Ellert would make promises,
bur because his course in the previous board
bad made him friends in both parties, and,
| consequently. his name would give strength
| to the entire ticket. But care was taken
that nine men should be placed on the ticket
of a more tractable character. 1t is a
good rule for the NOn-Partisans to observe
to nominate men from either party who
| have done the best that could beIdOne under
existing conditions With men Of this char
| acter in office the conditions may be so i'm

essary to render 1t available for its pur-
poses No better location for quarantine
during an epidemic could have been Sc
lected. Fire Island does not endanger Long
Island so long as the Long Islanders stay
away. But this they VIII not do when
there is money in sight. Witness the offers
to smuggle passengers out OF quarantine at
$50 per head.
Sir Edwin Arnold, who has no doubt had
much experience of cholera in India. talks
quite iauntly about the disease. He thinks
nobody in good health need fear it, provid-
ed the stomach is now and again fortified
with cup of tea and five drops OF hydro
chloric acid Why FIVE should be the limit
he does not say, but the cholera comma
bacillus is said to have wholesome horror
of acids. There is just one point valuable
in Sir Edwin's advice. 1t is to keep clean
aud to eat sensibly-neither gorgng the
stomach with quantity nor depraving it by
safety. The advice about a little acid In
the stomach is also wholesome. Perhaps
this will be the last raid cholera will max g
In civilized countries. When next it threat
ems Pasteursm will have found a means Of
keeping 1t at bay.
1t is Of course no surprise to local mer-
chants to learn that Chicago merchants are
shipping freight for this coast via New
cheaper to follow this route than to patron
ize the Kentucky corporation. Similarly it
will be found cheaper by San Francisco
merchants to send fieight round the Horn
and westward from New York. Only by
tarring and featherng the Southern Pacific
can the present grieyOus situation be cor
rected. Within few years all will be
changed in the railroad situation. But it
will not do to cry contentment yet.
The California Fruit Transportation
Company is receiving letters from points
such as Berlin, eulogistic of fruit consign-

attracted attention in the markets. The

scare is over. There is an opening for first
class fruit in Europe and California can
supply 1t.
Evans and Sontag might have been shot

v0lve them in responsibility for mistakes.
Yet it is clear these men will not be pur-
sued by any persons unless there is a re-
ward in the background, and it is equally
clear that the robbers, with the gall0ws in
sight, will not allow themselves to be cap
tured alive. 1t is question of kill them or

Fortnightly Review.
In the spring of the year. when rain has
fallen for two months, the karOo is flower
garden. AS far as the eye can reach stretch
blotches OF white and yellow aad pink fig
flowers. Every foot of Karoo sand is broken
up by small Towering lilies and wax flowers.
In space few ieet square you may some
times gather fifty kinds. In the crevces of
the rocks little, hard-leaved Towering air
plants are growing. AT the end Of two
months the bloom is over, the buds have
died back into the ground by millions, the
fig blossoms are wllhered, the Karoo as
sumes the red and brown tints which it
wears all the rest of the year. Sometim mes
there is no spring. At intervals of a few
years great droughts occur, when nc rain
falls.
For ten or thirteen months the skv is
cloUdless. The Kar0o bushes drop their
leaves and are dry, wthered stalks, the
fountains fail and the dams are fioored with
dry, baked mud, which splits up into little
squares, the sheep and goats die By thou
sands and the Karo0 is a desert. 1t is to
provide for these long rainless periods that
all the plant life in the Karoo is modified
Nothing that can retain life habitually for
six months, and at need for twice that time
without rain can exist here
The Karoo bush itself provides against
drought by roots Of enormous length. stretch

At the end of a ten months drought, when

While the quarantine difficulties at New
York appear to have been solved firmly
and satisfactorily by overpowering the
ignorant and contemplate action of the
Long Islanders, there appears reason for
grave disquiet in the fact that some cases
Of genuine Asiatic cholera have occurred in
the city OF New York. So the poison of
the epidemic has pierced the Gordon. The
absoiuteness OF quarantine Is impossible of
realization. What has occurred was only
what was to be expected. Unquestionably
there VIII be more of these sporadic cases.
and then the disease may move inland.
But tnere Is no reason to lose ones head
over the spread Of the epidemic. There are
always many chances in favor of the living
and 1t is true that phthisis constantly works
far more deadly mischief than any Of tbesa
epidemics. The health authorities of Amer
lea have plenty of warming and in the main
they are combating the epidemic success
fully.
The victory of the health authorities Of
New York in gaining possession of Fire
Island Is victory In the cause Of good gov
