PUBLIC OPINION.
WHY THEY DID II.


Nurat Halstead.
The Tribune has been collecting from
the people, through a carefully planned
system of interviewing, valuable infor-
nation about the way the Democrats
won so great a victory. Here is an in
terview with a Republican farmer in
New York who voted the Democratic
ticket:
"'What were your reasons" L asked.
"'Well, don't know as can exactly
tell you,' he answered; we have not had
a very easy time of it, we farmers, for
the last eight or ten years
"'But, don't you think said L, that
the opening of the farming lands in the
West has had great deal to dc with the
decrease in farm values in the East%
"'Well, perhaps so,' he replied. 1t is
hard for man who is not political
economist, and who does not make a
business of keeping track of such things,
to give any reason for the hard times OF
to choose between the reasons given by
Democrats and Republicans. So far as
know, the Republican party has always
kept its promises made to the farmers.
Since the Mckinley tariff we have been
getting better prices for our potatoes
and other products in Northern New
York, for before we had not been able
to compete with Canada. Yet we don't
make much of a living even at this
You say that statistics prove that this
country, as a Nation, is vastly more
prosperous than any other, and that we
are a good deal richer than we were ten
years ago; yet am not any better off
and most of the farmers around here are
not any better off, and | made up my
mind that if, as the Democrats promise
change of Administration would make
good times, why, wanted a change; il
free trade will make things better,
want free trade; if State banks will give
us money and more of it, l want State
banks put on equal terms with National
banks. If these changes are brought
about, it may make things good deal
worse than they are now. At any rate
am willing to try it. If l find that the
Democrats have deceived me, in 1896
shall vote the Republican ticket again.
This is talk that shows the way il
happened that the very prosperity of the
country was turned against the party in
power, because majority of the people
were not satisfied with their share OF
good things. 81 am not any better off
is the answer to all the experiences OF
the nation; and "if State banks will give
us money and more of it," why, it is
easy to vote the Democratic ticket
The real craze that is behind the public
misfortune of Democratic victory i:
cheap and nasty money, and spread OF
fanaticism about all the fads that fools
invent.

There is a professional model at one of

stickler for the etiquette of his calling as
was the cook who refused to carry the
baby out of a burning building because
she wasn't hired as nurse, This model is a
man of magnificent physical development,
and the students always like to sketch
him. Recently he took an exceptionally
graceful pose which would have aroused
all the artistic instincts of the class had it
not been accompanied by most distress
ing smirk.
Try as they would the students could
not bend energies on their sketching Every
time they looked at the expression of the
models countenance they forgot all about
his fine muscles and admirable attitude,
and smiled ut one another or looked vexed
Finally some one made bold to explain to
him that his look was a bit harassing, and
asked him to change it. He drew himself
up proudly and said: Cant do it, Dat
look goes wild de pose" And it did. The
smirk was resumed, and it remained until
the end Of the posing. Not much serious
sketching was done, however, while it

A fire in Keeslngville yesterday
forenoon completely destroyed a frame
cottage owned and occupied by John
Mcdonald. The cause of the fire was
a defective Aue, and 50 rapidly was its
progress i'm the brisk breeze that a very
small part Of the household goods were
saved. The trcmen were much de-
laycd in rendering assistance by the
fact that the house being outside the
city limits and fully 1000 feet from the
nearest hydrant, il was necessary to
wait for the arrival Of the Sehome hose
carriages before sufficient hose could be
procured to reach the burning bHilding.
The house was fortunately situated
some distance from other hoUses or a
more serious fire would have resulted.
The loss on the building and contents
is placed at 81 800, on which there was
an insurance of $3.50.
