BRICE's URBANITY
Not to be Disturbed by One of His Irate
Constituents

Constituents
Senator Brice is just now one of the
busiest men in the upper house He
''hustleS' about from morning till night,
holding consultations with his his colleagues
and with visitors of importance who chance
to be in the city. But he finds time to don
his evening dress for dinner, and is always
scrupulouSly neat In his attire.
The impression exists that Brice pays
very little attention to his Ohio conSIitu-
ency. This is not true. The senator en-
ploys three private secretaries besides the
clerks who take care of the business of the
national committee. One secretary looks
out for the senator's routine business in the
upper house. Another, who is an Ohio news
paper man, has special charge of the in
terestS of the senator's constituents, and is
provided with a steuographer and type
writer The third man finds his hands full
with the senator's private business, and
the entire corps get through a vast amount
of work.
Senator Brice is engaged just now in feel
ing the public pulse. He has found out
enough within the past ten days to convince
him that there is no diplomacy in permit
ting the people to believe he is favorable to
David B. Hills candidacy. His interview
on this subject printed in the World caused
a decided sensation here and brought the
senator several hundred additional letters
IN his big batch of mail.
The senator, by the way, never fails to
answer letter. The story is told of him
that some time ago an angry constituent,
displeased with Brice's action in q certain
matter, sent him postal card on which was
the single line in large round hand:
think you are an unmitigated jackass.
The senator's secretary was about to
throw it into the waste basket when his
employer stayed his hand and dictated his
customary form of acknowledgements:
My DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 10th
inst. at hand. Its contents have been care
fully noted and will receive early atten-
ton. Very truly yours, etc.

wound up the mountain side. great masses
of snow seemed TO overriding US, ana more

haired old guiue seemed to be. Only mar

Snow, aud the twenty mules followed each

brawuy men in red shirts stood al the door
of one Of the cabins talking Is we filed past.
Statutes were given and returned, but we
had no occasion to halt.
We had gone about 800 feet and were
about to make turn in the trail when I
halted to look back. The guide was ahead,
l came second. The line of mules was
strung out for q quarter of mile, and on
foot among them were five packers, all half

cry of alarm. With the swiftness of
thought the snow 500 feet up the mountain
began 10 move. The width of the ava
lanche was about half mile, and il moved
like a fash was looking full NJ it. but
its speed confused the eye. There were
thousands OK tons of snow. hundreds of
trees, hundreds of great powders. There
was no rumblng, no crashing.

GUITEAU'S PASSION.
Pushed to the Verge of Murder By Jealousy
in His Boyhood.

in His Boyhood.
The following incident which took place
while young Guiteau attended college here
says a late letter from Ann Arbor, will
show something of his character even at
that early age. This fact is known to but
few people. and as the time has been so long
since it took place, 1t was told by one who
had promised silence. Young Guiteau, of
course. in the usual manner of college bows,
had to fall in love. The young lady was a
beautiful girl from Saginaw, Mich, mem
Der of the same class But, it seems, that
he was not very successful in his suit. and
the favor which he sought IN many ways
was not granted to him, as it had already
been bestowed on another. This other was,
of course, cordially hated by Guiteau in
the usual stereotyped manner. Now, on
had asked the pleasure of taking this
young lady, and had been &C
cepted. But. in the usual man
ner of girls, on arriving at the picnic
grounds she thought to tantalize Guiteau,
and went OFF with his rival Contrary to
her expectations Guiteau said nothing and
did not even appear to notice II. They
went off quite distance from the crowd
and sat down, the actions OF Guiteau throw
ing them off their guard. While talking
slight noise behind them caused them to
turn around quickly, and they saw him
standing but few steps behind them, with
his poczet-knife gripped tightly in his hand,
and look in his dark eyes that will never
be forgotten by either of them. On being
discovered he turned from them and fed.
The matter was hushed up, owing to the
social standing of his uncle. Guiteau after
ward told the young man that he had not
intended to harm him. but the young lady
He said that he could not control his anger,
and that was the result. The young LADY,
who was the heroine of that event. is now
married and lives in one of the Western
states. The name of the young man could
not be learned. The facts of this incident
in the life of Guiteau have never been made

BEATTY's PIANOS AND ORGANS.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great
Organ and Piano man of Washing
ton, N. j., is buster than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penni-
less pillow boy, and by his indomita-
BILE will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far nearly 100000 of
Beatty's Pianos and Organs since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary
man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. His instruments are in
use everywhere. We are informed
that during the next ten years he in
tends to sell 100000 more of his
make; that means business of $780,
100000 if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest bust
ness of its kind in existence. Read

STEPHEN W. DoRSEY's VIEWS.

Hon. S. w. Dorsey, of Chico
Springs. the well known politician,
was in Kansas City recently and in
an interview with a Journal re-
porter discussed the political situa-
ton freely. In reply to question
as to his opinion regarding the out
come of the election he said:
ain New York, suppose you
mean, for that is the key to the situa-
ton. AS goes New York, so goes
the country. Without New York it
is useless to figure. Well then, as to
New York, i don't see why Mr.. Cleve'
land is any stronger in 1892 than he
was in 1888, but / see many reasons
why he is infinitely weaker. In 1888
he was supposed to have, and as far
as is known did have, the support of
all elements of his party in his state.
"This year he has the active, bitter
and unrelenting opposition of the
working element and spoilsmen of
his party in that state. 1t is all well
enough to talk about reformers and
respectable silk stocking gentry roll
ing up Democratic majorities, or Re-
publican majorities either, for that
matter. They do not do it. With
out the active cooperation of the
element Hill depended upon to bring
out votes on election day, Cleveland
will never pull the party straight in
that state, and with the undoubted
opposition of Tammany he has no
show at all"
"Despite abe assurances of the
TamInany leaders that they will sup
port him, senator?"
"They always give such assurances
in public, but they carry knives in
their shirt sleeves all the same. 1t
il more important TO Tammany hall
to have New York City under control
than to have three or four presi-
dents"

TIE CHANCES OF THE PARTIES.

v Mr.. Cleveland, as his. friends tell
us, is to carry the country this year,
irrespective of the attitude of New
York. Let us examine this PROPOSE
ton in the light of reason. There
will be 444 votes IN the next elector-
al college, and the party which gets
u a2S of them will win. 1t is pretty
safe to say that the great majority of
the states this year will vote as they
usually did in the past presidential
years. The elections of 1890 made
no permanent change in the attitude
g-bf.ahystat toward the great parties;
This has been shown in such of the
states as have voted since that year.
1t is entirely safe, therefore, to say
that the states here mentioned will

In this table the Democrats are
allowed ali the states which Cleve.
land carried in 1888, and FIVE of the
fourteen electoral votes of Michigan,
which state chooses all of its electors
but two by congressional districts
this year, and the state has been di,
vided up into two sections for the
choice of these two. The five elect
ors here given to the Democrats is
a very liberal allowance. In the table
every state is given to the Republi-
cans which they carried four years
ago except New York and Indiana
and part of Michigan. All the new
states except Montana we are put
ting in the Republican column, and
that state we place in the doubtful
list. This, as we believe every
reasonable Democrat will concede, is
a pretty fair apportlonment of the
states between the parties. 1t is to
be observed we allow Connecticut
and New Jersey to the Democrats,
and many Democrats consider the
former little shaky, while we are
not claiming West Virginia, which
was very close in 1888, and which is
being placed in the doubtful column
by the prophets this year.
Thus the Republicans are reason
ably sure of 2lO electoral votes and
the Democrats of $50. In order to
win the Republicans have merely to
gain thirteen more votes out of the
fifty-four which are in the doubtful
column, while the Democrats,to gain
the victory, would require forty-three
votes. Indiana alone would give the
Republicans the presidency and two
votes to spare, while both New York
and Indiana would have to be carried
by the Democrats to put them in
power. New York and Montana
would leave them four votes short of
the requisite number, while New
York and Indiana would give them
eight votes more than enough. Both
New York and Indiana, it will be
seen, are absolutely essential to the
Democracy, while Cleveland's Dem
ocratic foes have been declaring all
along that he can not secure the for
mer state.-Giobe-D Democrat.

if the business continues to increase

very certain that the company at no

"What are the elements of Presi-

"The great element of Harrison's
strength is the fact that he represents
the McKinly bill. On the tariff issue
and not on the Harrison issue depends
the contest. The Democrats this
time have not tried to straddle on
the tariff question. They come out
for free trade clean and unadulterated.
Heretofore they have always claimed
they were not free traders and have
defended themselves against that
charge. Now they announce that all
tariff is a fraud and have made this
the issue upon which they are to
stand or fall"

cans a chance TO carry which they
did not carry last time?"
"ConnectIcut, for one; New Jer-
sey, for another state we never

West Virginia and Virginia we have
more than an even chance. We have
chance to carry North Carolina
and Tennessee"

so much to the advantage of the Re-
publicans?"

large numbers who have hitherto

He is man of ability and respecta-
bility, and l can not conceive of any
sane man undertaking to make the
United States pawnbroker"
"Does Judge Gresham consider
that he has been badly treated by the
