THE QUAKE CAME TUESDAY.

A Washington correspondent says that
Hill spent some time in the House Tues
day buttonholing Democratic Repre-
sentatives and begging for their support
and assistance. One Of them read to
him a copy of some resolutions adopted
at Democratic meeting in his State in
which, among other declarations, was
one TO the effect that "Nothing but an
earthquake can prevent the nomination
of David B. Hill for the Presidency"
Hill listened with pleased and CRATE
full attention, and when the reading was
concluded he asked, ''Do you know of
any way to prevent earthquakes"
1t was too late for the question. Even
while he spoke the ground shook and
New York was convulsed with the most
violent political upheaval the State has
known in years. The significance of
Tuesdays town elections cannot be over
estimated, and that fears have been
awakened by the lively jouncing up
and the swallowing of Democratic ma
Jorities IN wide yawnlng chasms Is made
fully evident by the apprehensive tone
of recent talk, and more especially by
the questions asked by Southern Demo
cratic representatives. Texas, Georgia,
Alabama A and Floriia do not love Hit,
but they have been coming TO believe
that he was surely the man who could
win. Once let the suspicion enter their
minds that they have been mistaken
they will drop him instantly. Hills
availability" real or assumed, is his
only hold upon the South, and this his
overwhelming reverses in his own State
have seriously weakened.
The time to take precautions against
earthquakes was before the snap con-
vention and before the Dutchess county
frauds. 1t is too late now, the earth
rocks under Hills feet; it will close over
his head presently.

LANES @. BLAINE.

The efforts Of prominent Republicans
to constrain Mr.. Blaine to take the
Presidential nomination he has so en-
phatically refused are perhaps more
fattering tribute to his commanding
position before the country than any
other statesman of this generation has
received, either here or in fsseigu lands
Mr.. Blaine is the ablest living Ameri-
can. No more brilliant genius for state
craft has appeared in the entire course
of our national history. The country is
anxious to bestow upon him its highest
honor. 1t is a part of the mans broad
mindedness that he has ceased to feel
any craving for the glittering prize in
vain pursuit of which so many bright
intellects have worn out their lives. He
has put the Presidency away from him
when it was as easily within his reach as
within that of Washington.
The outspoken insistrnce that he re-
consider his remuneration is easily intel
ligible. 1t is so thoroughly i'll accord
with the natural fitness of things that
Mr.. Blaine should be the Republican
party's candidate that an easy acquies-
cence in his retirement could not have
been expected it was impossible. The
party honors itself in honoring its great
chieftain. Ii will be with sore hearts
that it resigns, if it must resign him.
If Mr.. Blaine should now resist the
pressure that is being put upon him, the
conclusion to which his original refusal
pointed will be so emphasized as to be
the leaders note of encouragement for
the opening campaign. Unless Mr..
Blaine, who is the most astute man of
his times, believed the triumph assured
of the principles to which he has given
his life, he would not refuse TO be draft
ed into service; so far from holding back,
the first note Of the battle would draw
him into the fray. If he will suffer the
party he has so largely and so nobly
moulded, and the country to which he
has given his most untiring devotion, to
press upon him that recognition which
it cannot be satisfied to withhold, the
consummation is devoutly to be wished;
but if no impression can be made upon
his resolve his denial of himself means
that he is satisfied he is not needed
And indeed, strong in principle and
alive TO the Importance of the work it is
accomplishing. the Republican party
turns TO Mr.. Blaine out of the fulness of
personal affection and loyalty, not in the
least distrustful of its fortunes without
him, but desirous that in its triumph he
should share. In the White House or
out of it is the brightest crown of life

The strange marriage, at jackson,
Mich, of William II. Plumb, a street
laborer at $1.2j a day TO Mrs. Amanda
Bentley, widow worth $50 900, calls
attention TO a rather peculiar legal
tangle. Mrs. Bentley's husband left his
property by will TO his wife during her
lifetime. If she married again the
property was to go at once to their only
child, cripple. IL Mrs. Bentley were
not to marry, the property was TO be
divided, upon her death. among her
husbands heirs other than her son.
Sooner tnan run the risk Of leaving her
helpless son an object of charity, she
offered 10 give any one 500 90 marry
her upon condition that he was 90 leave
her Immediately after the ceremony.
Ms Bentley, or Mrs. Plumb, thinks
that her husband did not mean 10 disiu.

misworded. This seems quite hl;ely, a.

AS 4 WAS SAYING.

1t was chill and windy at Roger Will
lams Park the other day, but the big
black bear and the little black bear were
tramping to and fro in their outside cages
-iit+--- { t+4e stsfffe.
Papa, what for has the little bear got a
chain round his neck, and who's been
biting his backY" asked a youngster of an
inquiring turn of mind. "The bears re
mind me, said n contemplatv" individ-
ual who looked as truthful as ordin-
airy run OF humanity, "of a big cinnamon
bear in the bear pit of the park at San
Francisco The brute has vicious tenn;
per and has killed two other bears and
man. You would never think it to look
at her. She sits for hours at q time on
her launches with the most sleepy, stupid,
lackadaisical look begging for candies
She has the worst sweet tooth OF any beast
in the collection, and half the children of
the Golden Gate-feed her on Sunday.
They make her climb TO the top of the
bear platform and there she squats and
opens her mouth and they fling pepper
mints into it.
"The curious thing about that bear is
she can count, and up to pretty high num-
bers. III n candy misses her she never
seems to pay the slightest attention, but
she knows all the time lust how many
have dropped and just where they have
fallen. When she is fully satisfied that
no more are forthcoming, she climbs down
TO the ground and picks up the leavings.
She never makes the mistake of hunting
for more after she has picked mp the last
one. She is fully aware when she has
finished, as much so as if she had gradu-
ated in mathematics. The boys and girls
are always trying TO fool her or confuse
her, but they never make out. She's too
sharp for them"
Speaking of smart bears" said n youth
who alighted from a bicycle, "a hunter
once told me n funny story. He was go
ing home after an unsuccessful day, when
on the slope of hill below HIM he sud
denly came upon bear with two cubs.
Now she bears have n habit of squatting
on their launches until they rub all the
hair off and leave their back sides bare.
The mark thus presented was SO tempting
that though he had nothing but a shot
gun, the hunter fired, the pellets rebound
ing from the bears tough skin harmlessly.
But as if aware that somebody had been
playing most unwarrantable and un-
dignifed joke upon her. the bear reared
on her hind legs, looked about n minute
and then fetched the nearer cub such
ringing box on the ear that il went head
over heels through the underbrush down
the hill TO the bottom. Having thus lad-
ministcred Il proper and motherly chas-
tsemeut, the big bear went on hunting
aCorns."
Lets go see the rabbits" said the
youngster, weary Of the long story.
