perate, and the Reformers are already
swearing vengeance deep and dire. See
how bold and bad they are getting to be.
Once more we quote from our esteemed
Mugwump contemporary:
"One of the best informed In circles
says that the feeling under the surface becoming in
tense in view Of the occurrences at Washington and
that II Hill get the nomination the entire body
OF Independents would leave the Democrats and vote
the Republican ticket or organize protest and vote
"a third party not with the idea OF accomplishing
nyhng but Of merely protesting against the method
which ruined the OF the reform Of the tariff
for this year. told OF two straighout Democrats In
Boston that within few days they declared that IL

for HARRISON The independent to whom they said this
replied that that further than he had yet decided
to 20 But their was that II CLEVELAND not
nominated. some explanation must be given. and tho
real renson would be that Hit opposed him. and so It
thought best to take him They would not take
any other candidate than CLEVELAND under such cir.
cumstances."

Most unintelligible Of all Lord SAILS

House Of Lords ought to throw out Home
Rule bill not only once. but several times.
Under certain circumstances. no doubt. the
Tory majority in the upper House mignt
plausibly refuse to acQuiesce In Glad

to Ireland. Should Mr.. GLADSTONE refuse
to define in detail his projected measure be-
fore the next general election. ana should
his bill. when produced In the next House
OF Commons. prove unacceptable either to
many Irish Nationalist. or to section OF
the English Liberals. the Unionists might
say that the electors had been kept In the
dark and must have an opportunity OF
answering definite question. II on such
a pretext the House OF Lords threw out
Home Rule bill. no ono would denounce the
act on constitutional grounds. Should.
however. Mr.. GLADSTONE at the second

King WILLIAM ". to permit him to swamp

forming to the sage advice Of the Duke OF
WELLINGTON. absented themselves from

The Princeton University Eating Cut

The Princeton University Eating Club.
which is to be opened on Saturday. ought to be
able to give its 25O members tip-top board.
81 week. That price would be considered
high by hard-up students at many European
universities: and We have hoard OF lower
prices at some Of our American colleges in
other times. Students should not be glutton-
Gus or too exacting. Mush with milk makes .
wholesome breakfast dish: bread with cheese
makes a nourishing lunch. and good hash can
make a filling dinner. The articles OF food
ought to be varied during the week. Of course.
and there ought to be vegetables and fruits on
the CLUB table. Four dollars a week Is o good
price to pay for provender out in tho country
regions. The soldiers Of the Mexican army
are required to pay for their own rations Just
S7k cents a week each.
Tho table expenses Of the Princeton Uni
versity Eating Club Of $50 students are esti-
mated at $4,000 year. This is too big. The
budget should be cut down one-third at least.
DR.. MCCosH. President PATTON. Dean MURRAY.
and Prof SLOANE. who are interested in the
victuallinG business must advise the club.
We notice that President ELIOT Of Harvard
University refers seriously in his last annual
report to the necessity Of furnishing the stu
dents there with cheap board at the commons
in Memorial Hall and at the Foxcroft Club He
maintains that cheap board is necessary
means for building up great popular institu-
ton OF learning: and there is no doubt that
his view Of the thing is correct. Let the Board
OF Governors of the 81 Eating Club at Prince
ton give heed to his wise words.

No more interesting story has been print
ed In The Sun for many day than that which
appeared last Monday concerning house in
this city which some people believe to be
haunted. But. Of course. no sensible person
nowadays really believes in haunted houses.
and our story was interesting simply as q re-
markable instance Of tho way in which such
illusions are produced. It is worth while en-
phasizinR the fact stated In our story that OF the
several families that have lived in the house
only Few members Of one family say they
were troubled BY ehostly visitations: and that
the many tenants who occupied the house be-
fore and after this time found nothing Of which
to complain. There Is doubtless some very
practical explanation Of the story.

COMING OUR WAY.

There has been more or less talk
concerning the building of the Duluth
Pierre and Black Hills railroad during
the past two years. Work upon it has
been slow and discoura9ing to Black
Hills people, who are anxious for a
direct eastern line, but of late renewed
talk concerning it seems to be more
encouraging. The following special
to the Sioux City journal, from Aber-
d,en, s. ID. would indicate a favorable
outlook: IA party of New York
Capitalists, accompanied by Deadwood
gentlemen, has been here for the last
few days inspecting the railroad grade
of the Duluth, Pierre and Black Hills
line, now nearly graded between here
and Pierre. 1t is claimed that they
are making examinations of the work,
with the view of buying up the line
and extending it from Pierre to the
Black Hills"

Offices which they have So ably filled.
Resolved, That we congratulate them
upon the grand honor bestowed by the
sutfrages of the people and which alone

OF their designations.
Resolved, That re wish them abun-

that condition of that mutual love
which has so long existed between oar
retiring friends and the old soldiers
and sailors of the state.

was now complete and rendered to
the state for their use. 1t is a model
in its way and the large sum raised is
due TO Comrade Cough who deserves
and has the thanks Of his army frierss
for his noble wo,k.
"The soldiers homo" said Mr..
Clough, 'is fist home for the old
soldier and incidentally hospital for
the aged veteran. The hospital cases
run from to 13, and owing to the
severity of the disease the nursing
must be of the very hest. :
A few recommendations are made
by the hoard for consideration by the
legislature. First the law should
be amended so as to permit the EN-.
ployes to be nurses, not necessarily
widows of ex-soldlers, and to permit Of
the erection of cottages for old soldiers
so they may bring their wives to enivy
the peace Of their old age.

DIES DISAPPOINTED.

This Is an unyrateful world. How
often during ones life does this thought
force itself upon US. All about us we
almost daily witness examples of merit
unrewarded, and ambition shocked by
an ungenerous and unkind people.
How true this Is Of Blaine. One of
he most gifted and brilliant men of
his day, devoting his life to the best
interests of the public, worthy of the
highest Office within the gift OF the
people-yet jealous and unappre-
ciative people refused him the honor.
An intimate friend of the Blaine fami.
ly says concerning Mr.. Blaine's feelings
IN this particular: "The world knows
how ambitious he was and also knows
how much he accomplished in the pur-
suit of his ambition. And yet he dies
a disappointed, and was about TO say
a broken-hsarted man. But that
would perhaps he putting it too strong.
I once heard him say that, after all,
ambition was an ignis fatuus and that
all the world wa, hollow outside ones

lines by N. p. Willis:
