ACoMMUNICATIoN from Mr.. A. F. Potts,
printed in another part of this paper,
discloses curious political condition in
one precinct in this city which he has
investigated. He finds that out Of sew
enty-fve men registered as working in
shops or factories benefited by protec-
ton sixty three voted the Democratic
ticket in the recent election. 1t also ap-
pears that large majority of those who
thus voted are in shops where there
have been strikes which left hard feel
ings between employers and employees,
while nearly all those who voted the
Republican ticket are in factory where
the protit-sharing system prevails, and
consequently a more friendly feeling
between employer and employees. The
results of this investigation are interest
ing as far as they 60. and if the same
conditions prevail generally they would
throw considerable light on the
underlying causes of the recent
Democratic victory. As far as
they go they seem to show that
workingmen have been grossly deceived
and grievously misled as to sheir true
interests, and that an unreasoning and
unjust prejudice against their employ
ers, industriously fomented and cult
waited by Democratic newspapers and
party leaders, had more to do in shap-
ing their action in the recent election
than did sober reflection or imnartial
Judgment. No doubt many of these de-
ceived and misled workmen are of the
kind whose temperament make them
enthusiastic leaders in every labor
strike, and who imagine that the
true interests of labor lie in making war
against capital. For their own sakes
and the welfare of the country it is TO
be hoped they will learn better before
long.

and penetrating with sickening effect those
which lie to the north. 1t Is no wonder
that property holders In the near vicinity
OF the nuisance have at last sought to COM
pei attention to it by instituting suits
against the city for damages.
In addition to the offensive and hygienic
aspects of the case, there is reason to be-
lieve that the interests of the city require
different mode of disposing of Its offai

products. instead of being q source of ex

have recognized value for fertilizing pur-
poses, and. in Europe. municipal govern
ments are expected to utilize them. But.
If they are not made a source of profit. they
should, at least be cremated or destroyed
in some way that will not be a nuisance to
almost the entire city. The compliments
In the suits now filed are entitled to public
sympathy. and it is to be hoped they will
succeed in compelling the city author
tiles to take some remedial action in the
premises.

TIE PASSING OF THE MUGwUMP.

Tammany's candidate for Mayor. in
New York city. received 2a7 votes less
than did Mr.. Cleveland. He was the
candidate of the gang-no worse nor no
better than the others whom the mug
wumps- have denounced as the worst
and most dangerous element in Amer
lean politics. 1t has been given out that
there were from ten to twenty thousand
of these political perfectionists in New
York city. They have made as much
noise as if they were half million, yet
the cold election returns show that only
297 of them were left who refused to bow
the knee to the tiger. Nor is it alto
gether certain that the 297 were mug
wumps, since there are many Democrats
who are not political purists by profess
sion who may have cut the name of Tam
many's candidate for Mayor from their
tickets. The 297, whoever they may be,
are of no account. In large city
they are too insignificant to make q
scattering vote. If there have been
thousands of them they have passed

by the political organization which they
have been accustomed to stigmatize rs
the worst the country ever saw. If,
hereafter, the once mugwump leaders
claim that they have only supported
Tammany to secure the election of Mr..
Cleveland, they are condemned out of
their own mouths. since they have de-
nounced all others who have ever made
political trades with Tammany Hall.
Hereafter, so far as New York is con-
cerned, the name mugwump will simply
recall the latest converts to Tammany
Hall. In the hereafter Pecksniff and
mugwump will be SYNONYMOUS terms.

Iemmy's Wild Run for Lin.

Tommy l.. Dyer, fourteen-year-old
boy. of Hulburt, Mich, had an exciting
adventure on Wednesday in which he
narrowly escaped being devoured by a
couple of big gray wolves.
Near the town is lake of considera-
BILE extent. G.. w. Dyer, father Of the
boy, is in charge of Hulburt's numbering
operations there. At the request of his
son he caused half mile track to be
cleared on the lake by snow plow so
his boy and others could enjoy skating.
Wednesday afternoon Tommy was ont
alone at the end of the track farthest
from camp. As it began TO grow dark
the boy was about to start for home
when he was startled by the howl Of
wolf not far off, followed instantly by
another. At the same time two large
and ferocious timber wolves made their
appearance short distance away.
The boy, aware that his life was IN
danger, at once sought safety in fight.
The ugly brutes, half famished during
the winter and intent on having feast,
Immediately started in pursuit. Fear
lent speed to the flying feet of the fugi-
tive, and he raced along with all the
strength he could command. For a
time he distanced his pursuers, but he
soon began to lose his strength. and the
hungry animals were soon close behind,
with their eyes cleaning like Goals CT

Mehalv,s Recommendation

In one Of the loveliest counties of old Viz
ginia there still stands a stately mansion
that was in days gone by the show place of
all that section. The imposing park CT
mighty oaks, graceful lindens and gener-
Gus, low Speeding beeches was fit setting
for the big house, with it's white columns
reared from basement to roof. The quaint
furniture and the rare crystal and princely
plate were spoken of near and far Every
floor, every window seat and every table of
this house was waXed.
Every morning an army of nimble kreed
young negresses fell upon these floors and
rubbed and polished until each board fair
ly shone and glistened with the amber
wax.
The war came on. The army of negroes
was scattered from the old quarter. They
spread throughout the state, and it was
thought rare fortune to get hold of one
of Mrs. C-'s well trained servants.
One day one of these servants applied to
Mrs. B, of Richmond, for situation.
1t was Mehaly, hoity-toity girl, but not
without her following in the old quarter.
"Can you cook" asked Mrs. B.

Fido was an Expensive Passenger.

A lady boarded street car the other
evening with a pet dog which was slightly
svergrown His paws were covered with
mud, and he seemed to be on springs.
Madam" said the conductor you will
have to leave that dog on the platform; it
is against the rules of the company to al
low dogs in the cars"
Il don't care if it is. He shall not ride
on the platform. He is not feeling just
right this evening, and it would be inht4-
man to put him out in the cold, F" returned
the lady.
"A number of gentlemen are out there"
Gentlemen! Why, | smelled tobacco
smoke when 1 passed them. You don't
suppose 1 would put my Fido on level
with them, do you"
''If the dog stays in here will suffer"
You need have no fears on that score.
If Fido does anything wrong you may
hold me responsible for it."
The conductor here started to collect his
fares and Fido at the same time concluded
to give an exhibition of his freshness. The
first thing he did was to jump upon the
lap of an elderly lady who wore a new
black silk dress
Get away get away. you brute" she
exclaimed, As the dog began to poke his
nose into her face.
Come, Fido, don't disturb the lady"
said his mistress, and the dog jumped down
and came back to her. But he apparently
liked new black silk, for a moment later
he was again up in the lap of its weare-.
She pushed him to the floor, and CHANGING
down saw dozen marks upon the front
breadth of the dress left by the dogs paws
Indignantly she arose. gave Fido her seat,
and called the attention Of his mistress to
the fact that her dress was ruined.
We'll, collect your damages from the
company" was the tantalizing reply
The matter was laid before the officers Of
the company, and they, without hesitation,
assumed responsibility for the damage
done.-Boston Herald.
