IL is universally agreed that the de-
feat Of Quay, Platt & Co nj Minnea-
polls, aud of the nill-Tammany con-
spiracy at Chicago, was a great gain for
decent politics. II resulted in present
ing two candidates personally ire
proachable. The difference In the nom
nations was this, that Mr.. Harrison
was put forward by n convention in
which large number of his own Office
holders took part, and IL was not n
nomination of enthusiasm. Its signifi-
canoe was the maintenance of IA respec.
table status quo. Mr.. Clevelands was
nomination of preference and en-
thusiasm. IL is alleged, however, that
he is not SO strong n candidate as be-
fore But this seems to us a mistake.
He Is stronger candidate than ever
before. Certainly none of those who
were mentioned as possible candidates
could have impressed the country SO
favorably. The republicans would
have much preferred TO see Hill, or
German, or Boies, or Gray, or Palmer
selected, because they would have been
sure that none of them commanded
the same respect and confidence that
attend Mr.. Cleveland. No man after
his retirement from the presidency
ever rose more steadily in public es-
TEEN and popularity. His course has
been simple and oignified. Without
presumption, as private citizen neces-
sarily conspicuous, his conduct has
been modest and quiet, and as speaker
upon public occasions, even when of IA
party character, his tone has been that
of patriot rather than partisan, and
he has justly felt that, although identi-
fed with a party, the propriety of his
position demanded of him something
more than mere craftsmanship.
He has confirmed this good impress.

The Laugh on the Conductor and EnJoved
by All the Passengers.


The Laugh on the Conductor and EnJoved
by All the Passengers.
There was n man and a boy and n
dog. The man was waiting for n car.
So was the boy. So was the dog. When
the car came they all took the rear plat
form and stood there. In a few min
utes the conductor came out, collected
two fares and tinkled the bell twice.
He noticed the dog and turning TO the
man said:
Dogs are against the rules"
The man was deeply interested in the
white film Of smoke which coiled up
ward from the end of his cigar and did
not hear, so the conductor touched him
on the elbow:
dogs are not allowed 10 ride on
street cars, l said"
Ibid you, indeed? All! and do the
dogs mind IL very much, wonder?"
The two high-school girls Uttered,
and the boy shot wad of paper ut a
passing vehicle. The conductor looked
black and growled:
Please put that dog off, will you?"
"Will /? Well, not IL the court
knows herself"
"Well, | will, then" and he showed
the dog off the platform, slammed the
door and went forward. The man
smiled, the boy whistled, the dog
jumped back again and the high-school
girls Uttered little more. In few
minutes the conductor came out again,
and he looked ugly.
Now, look here, my friend" he
said, IL want you to understand that
want you to put off that dog and keep
him off"
IAN right, understand"
well, do it then"
"Oh, no, not this evening"
Biff! The dog yelped and landed
half way across the street.
Now, Mr.. Man, the next time have
fire you after him." and he went for
ward and jerked the bell-rope. The
man still watched the curling
smoke, the boy whistled again, the
dog jumped back on the platform, and
the passengers smiled and nudged each
other At the next crossing the con
ductor burst out on the platform with
the snort of war horse:
''See here, smarty-but just then the
boy jumped off, called his dog and the
two went trotting down the street.

A FORGOTTEN PEOPLE.
Exploring the Homes OF the Ancient CIin
Dwellers.

But If we turn to the sycamore at our
back, there is yet more of human inter
est Behind the gray debris of the cliff
gapes the low-arched mouth of broad
cave. 1t is n weird place To enter, un.
der tons that threaten 10 fall at a
breath; but there have been others here
before us As the eye grows wonted 20
the gloom, it makes out a fiat surface
beyond. There, forty feet back from
the mouth, strong stone wall stretches
across the cave, and about in its center
is one of the tiny doors that were char
acteristic of the southwest when q door
way big enough To let in whole apache
ut Il time was unsafe. So the fort
house balanced on the clitl-rim between
two ahysses, and the houses nestled in
crannics of the bald prccipicc were NOT
enough-thcy must build far in the
very caves!
That wall shuts off large. low, dark
room. Beyond is another, darker and
safer, and 50 on. TO our left is another
wall in the front of another branch of
the cave: and in that wall is IA little
token from the dead past. When | went
there in June, 1891, my ilaShlight failed,
and lit Il dry CHtrdH0 to explore during
the hour il would take the lens to study
out part of the cave in that gloom. And
suddenly the unuccustomcd tears came
in my eyes; for on the flinty mortar Of
that strange wal! was a print made
when that mortar was fresh adobe mud,
AT least five hundred years ago, maybe
several thousandS--thc perfect imprint
of Il baby's chubby hand. And of that

full of interest, and is probably the best
remaining example of this class OF

in length; and it's rooms, formed 10y

were captured by an enemy. 1t was

cobs are still there; and-equally i'm

well seems TO have no outlet-the only
token of one visible from within being
little rift in the water mosses just IN
front of the caves But in fact there is
a mysterious channel far down under
the cliff, whereby the waters OF the
lake escape TO the creek. In exploring
the main cave one hears the sound oil
running water, and presently finds
place where one may dip drink
through hole in the limestone floor OF
