The Talk About Gorman.

Some Of the democratic papers are trying
TO start a presidential boom for Senator
German, of Maryland. Because the senator
has said that he does not want TO be mem
Der of the next democratic national com.
mittee, nor a delegate to the Chicago con-
vention they assume that he is expecting
that he will be offered the nomination OF
his party for President.
! The reason given for his unwilingness to
be a national committeeman or a delegate,
Is that his health ia not robuFt. He doesn't
| look like sick man. however, and as far as
the public knows, he is not a sick man. II
| is suspected, therefore, that he wants 20 be
in position that will not be embarrassing
IL there should be such a combination Of
circumstances as would lead the Chicago
convention to regard him as an available
presidential candidate.
No states are instructing their delegates
for him. Even Maryland his own state,
will instruct her delegation for MIR. Cleve-
land. And the present indications are that
the majority of the states will send Cleve-
land delegates to Chicago. Still. there is a
chance that Mr.. Cleveland will not have
the necessary two-thirds of the delegates
and will not be able to get them, though
that chance does not now appear to be g
good one. But, in the event that Mr..
Cleveland cannot be nominated, it is not at
all improbable that those supporting him
would regard Senator German with favor.
Senator German is an astute politician,
and his management OF the democratic
forces in the fight against the force bill in
the last congress gave him strong hold
upon the Democratic party, particularly OF
the south. That his nomination would give
very general satisfaction there is no doubt.
While he might not arouse any great
amount of enthusiasm in the north and
west, it is certain that he would poll pretty
nearly, If not quite, the full strength OF the
party. A thing very much in his favor Is
that there is no element in the party opposed
to him. He has been shrewd enough during
his public career to avoid taking positions
that would arouse hostility to him.
When the present congress assembled 1t
was thought he favored Senator Hill for
the presidential nomination, and the
newspapers spoke of him and Senator Brice
as working industriously for Hill, but it
now appears they were mistaken. 1t is
more than probable that he is doing what
he can to bring about the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland with the unspoken under
standing that the Cleveland influence shall
support him in the event it is impossible
for Mr.. Cleveland to get the nomination.
He certainly seems to be very
favorably disposed to Mr.. Cleveland. The
fact that the Maryland delegation will be
for Mr.. Cleveland is an indication that he
and Mr.. Cleveland are in harmony. 1t
must be understood, however. that he is not
an avowed presidential candidate. In the
presidential race he is only a dark horse
that may never come into such prominence
as to attract attention.

1T is curious" said the doctor, TO a Boston

occupy mans mind and crowd out or over
shadow things much more serious.
Some years ago man took book out of
Lorlng's circulating library. He had often had
books from the library before and had always
returned them promptly.
But this book the man took with him on a
little railway journey and the train on which
the man travelled was wrecked Just before he
got into the city and he was very badly hurt.
They brought him to the hospital and he
was unconscious for a long time When he
est uneasiness except the thought OF the book
which he had taken from the circulating
library.
He asked where that book was. He insisted
on having it.
Nobody knew where it was. 1t had not been
seen since the wreck
The man lay there on his cot and groaned:
On, my God! That book, that book! Lost,
and cents day all the timer
well IL was plain that the man would die IL
the book was not found, and SO one of his rela-
tives went to the scene of the wreck and hunted
Tor IT, He discovered that one Of the men in the
wrecking gang had found the book in the clear
ing away of the debris
And so the book was returned to the library,
but it was too late. The man in the hospital
died, and to the lest kept groanlng: Two cents
day! Oh, my Godr

An ObliginR Waiter.

The guests at an uptown family hotel have
been annoyed recently by the consequences of a
litigation between the owners of the building
and the manager, says the New York Times.
The hotel is run about as usual, but the litIga-
ton precludes the purchase of any additional
furniture and fixtures. When the plates and
cups, and saucers are Clipped or broken there
is no provision for their replacement while tie
lawsuits are pending. One of the guests an
ardent lover of Mocha, strenuously objected to
drinking his coffee from broken cup
The waiter who attended his table CHANGED to
be one of the obhging kind, and b. brought
from his private cabinet a new coffee cup
edged with bread band OF gold and with the
words Love the Giver" interwined with flow
ers. He explained that the cup had been pre-
sented to him years ago, but he had never used
1t. The favored guest, not desiring to hurt the
walters feelings, made use of the gaudy cup. A
few days thereafter, however, the waiter
dropped it and broke it. The next morning
coffee was served to the favored guest in plain
white mug labeled in blue letters on the front
"A Nice Shaver" "What is thisP" asked the
guest suspiciously. THAT'S my shaving mug"
responded the waiter atfaby, II haven't an
other whole Cup."

The Old Farmer wanted Gold.

There is an old farmer out at Lancaster who
owned big farm. says the Buffalo IN. W En-
press. Like almost every other farmer in Ian
caster he was recently approached by a Buffalo
real estate man and offered price per acre for
his property that made his eyes bulge. He
promptly accepted it, and came to the city the
other day to complete the bargain. By the
terms OF the agreement he was to receive sew
eral thousand dollars down and the rest in a
short time After the papers had been signed
and the real estate man had pulled out big
roll of bills to make the first payment the
farmer excited the curiosity of every body in
the room by refusing to be paid in bills and de-
mandtng gold. The real estate man urged that
he did not have the gold and that b Is we're just
as good anyway. but the farmer remained OBJ
durate and refused to receive them.
Upon being pressed for his reasons, he said:
wal, b'gosh, / read the papers, | do, an l
hain't a,goin' TO take no paper money, because
II that there silver bill passes the House paper
money won't be worth its face value. 1 hahn t
a-goin' t let no depreciation in currency knock
me outen my money
The real estate man argued for half an hour,
but at the end of that time the farmer was Just
as determined on having gold as before, and
the buyer had to get it for him too.
