Grated, and should be brought in

End. The party has been going
to New York for its nominee for
the past 20 years, and experience
proves that New York political
methods are uncertain and treach-
erous. This is true as to New
York Republicans as well as to
New York Democrats. New York
ers think State politics and State
matters of more Importance than
National questions or National re-
suits. If q New York leader can.
not be killed because Of his vices,
they will kill him because OF his
virtues. This is the experience of
the past with the leaders Of both
the great political parties, and on
ly more conspicuous now as to
the Democrats, because the Dem.
ocratic party ia now the dominant
party in that State.
Therefore, il is believed that a
nominee from the West, not as.
ISOLATED or allied with any Of the
New York factions, simply stand.
ing upon u pure, solid Democratic
record and platform, would be
stronger before the Democratic
masses of New York than one or
the other New Yorker for and
against whom their factiOnal
knives are sharpened; and certain
it is that Democratic voters, with
q pure candidate and solid plat
form, could DO pr0uder of their
fight, whether in defeat or victory.

WHATS the Matter with
Grover?

That Grover Cleveland is a
statesman, and one Of the ablest,
most honest, capable aud trust
worthy, this country has ever
known, all men, irrespective Of
party, freely admit.
Then why not nominate himi
The answer comes in one cho-
rus, only because he cannot carry
New York, anil as New York Ia
essential to Democratic success,
therefore, nominate some one who
can carry that State.
But who can carry New York 7
The answer comes, founded on
the fact Of past victories, that
David b. Hill can.
Hill is u magnificent leader, a
mat chless organizer and manager,
and has made a grand Governor,

the burden of State debt, and is not

We know Of no answer to this
unless it is assumed that the
Cleveland Democrats will prove
true to Hill, and that some oil

Cleveland at the last election, but
Cleveland failed TO carry the State,
whereas Hill and the whole Dem.
ocratic State ticket won by from
IL, 900 to 21,0O0. But the wbiskey
question was involved in the State
fight, and on that question it ia
said that more than 10000 anti.
prohibition Republicans voted for
Hill. Will that question cut such
q figure to his favor in a National
contest
Another staggering view to the
Courier is, that in the New York
election of last week, the Repub-
leans, from some cause, won q
sweeping victory, which makes us
fear that the Cleveland. Hill fued

chances of either at home.

From Frankfort Capital.


The impression seems to pre-.

WILL BE NO DUEL.
Clemenceau Wants His Quarrel With
 Deroulede Arbitrated.


 PARIS, Dec. 22.-From the despatches which follow it would appear that NM. Clemenceau and Deroulede were devoured by desire to kill each other in a most bloodthirsty manner, but, like most French duels, nobody is to be hurt, Glenn enceau stating that he desires his quarrel with Deroulede to be settled by arbitra- tion to determine who is the offender.
 PARIS, Dec. 22.-rhe coming duel be tween NJ. Clemenceau, editor of La Justice and NJ. Deroulede, who assailed NJ. Glenn enceau in the Chamber of Deputies, Tues, day, the latter retorting that Deroulede lied, is arousing considerable interest.
 NJ. Deroulede has granted M. Clemen ceau 8 choice of weapons, and prepara tions for the event are being pushed rapidly forward
 The friends of M. Clemenceau say that he intends duel to the death, and will be satisfied with nothing short of this.
 On the other hand, M. Deroulede's friends aver that he also is officially mind, and means to kill Clemenceau ol be killed himself.
 A later despatch says that Clemenceau and Deroulede have serious intentions as to their duel to day.
 The conditions agreed upon will show the two to be remarkably lacking il nerve if there is not fatal result. They are to fight with pistols. Th' two combatants are to be stationed 2; yards apart, but with the privilege of ad vancing to five paces apart. As both men are considered good shots it is generally believed that one or tn other will be killed.

ROMANCE IN LITERATURE.

He Tried the Profession, but Twas Not Rs
 Writer That He Succeeded.
 There is a well-known gentleman in this city who, when a young man at college, fell in love with a professors daughter. Of course there is nothing remarkable about that. Both were young and she was beautiful. The pro- lessor was poor, but he was wise. There is nothing remarka ble bout that. Wis dom is often associated with poverty, especially that sort of wisdom that comes from books. The young man was also poor, but he was not wise-he wanted to marry the girl right off. And there was nothing remarkable about that. But the poor, wise professor told the poor, unwise young man:
 "Go forth. go and do something. ] don't care what you do, but go and do it. Then we'll see about the girl. If she really thinks she can't get along without you she won't mind waiting a year or two. If she won't wait you won't want her."
 The poor, unwise young man filed the usual demurrer, but it was promptly overruled. Then he went forth. The first thing he did was to go and Ouy package or ClgdreCteS ana Sll down and think. He did so much think. ing of this kind that he nearly star we'd to death. Then he tried something else and picked up two dollars week and twenty dollars worth of self-re- spect. But he didn't see any opening for matrimony and tried something else This, too. failed. Then he tried some thing else.

FEMININE CHIN.
A Discussion Upon It by . Modern British
 Artist.

The modern British artist, caught by the specialization craze, seems to be concentrating his attention on ladies' chins. This is especially the case with the fashion-plate. Human chins may be divided into four classes. First, the retreating chin, which falls away be- hind the frontal line of the face. This is the pet abomination of modern chin faDciers. Secondly, the nominal chin, | which Is a chin of moderate size, Geh- mite outline and flush with the frontal line of the face; this ought to be the | chin approved by painters. Thirdly, there is the long, prominent chin, which | is pushed forward somewhat in advance | cf the frontal line of the face;this is ugly, though not always markedly so. Fourthly. there is very long, very large and decidedly protruding chin; this, in scientific language, is the prog | nathous chin-the chin, in fact, of the monkey tribe It is the chin, slightly modified, which the highly-cultured artists of the fashion plates have chosen as the types of the beautiful in female chins. Darwin had something to say on the point. In the Descent of Man" he wrote:
 | "The early male forefathers of man were probably furnished with great canine teeth, but, as they gradually ac- quired the habit of using stones, clubs or other weapons for fighting with their enemies or rivals, they would use their jaws and teeth less and less. In this case the jaws, together with the teeth, would become reduced in size. !" What strikes one here is that large jaws and prominent chin in man ap- l pear to have been needed, at low stage of development, for fighting with the mouth and teeth as monkeys and dogs fight. If the fashion-plate artists of to-day are showing us real and not imaginary types or female beauty, it would seem that women are beginning to revert to a condition of low develop ment similar to that occupied by man in his transition from the simian to tho bimanous stage. If this be so we may anticipate, since nature seldom does anything without a purpose, that the l quarrels of women, more especially of | fashionable women, will soon begin to
 be fought out, not in the law courts or
 by polite letter-writing and the social
 ''cut," but by the good old method of
 "tooth and nail"
 We commend these developmental
 facts to the consideration of the ad-
 mirers of huge and hideous chins.-1en- ness Miller Monthly.
