COMMENT OF THE PRESS.

~ Democratic reform is really in
danger Too many cooks spoil the
broth, is an old saying that applies
here.-Iowa State Register.
- The attack on pensions which is
being made all along the democratic
line indicates the turn that the econ
omy of the Cleveland administration
will take. The old soldier has no dem
ocratic friends.-Albany Journal
q President Harrison's own fidelity
to the interests in his charge and his
intense devotion to his country were
never more apparent than in the mes
sage which rounds out his administrs-
tive acts.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
cB~If the Reed rules be not adopted
by the next house, the sO-ealled high
tariff faction of the democracy will
block the way against the free trade
or dominant element of the party.
That Reed code is very useful in
crisis. Louis Globe-Democrat
- The republican party has never
been a cOwardly organization, trim
ming it's sails with every change in tho
popular breeze, and, although the prin-
ciples which 1t laid before the country
have been for the time being rejected,
it will not betray them Indeed, if it
were to give up its protection faith it
would lose the one great article of its
creed which gives it political identity.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
EVA good many vest buttons have
been fiving off since it was reported
that Cleveland had offered Dave Hill
the position of secretary of state But
while the merriment is bOisterous it is
a solid fact that Cleveland could hardly
do a more polite thing for himself and
his party than that Even if Hill
should be offered the place and would
decline, Cleveland would gain strength
for his tact. 1t would be very polite
indeed for him to effect this reap
proachment and show his magma
nimity. 1t is probable. however. that
the tomahawk is not TO be buried so
easily-Minneapoli Journal.
"Republicans have the sand
paper, the emery wheel and the buzz
saw in their hands for the next four
years." says Chauncey NJ. Depew.
They have, and if they choose to use
these as recklessly as have the demo-
Gratis used them for the last four years,
President-elect Cleveland will regret
that he ever started the calamity BUSH
ness and gave encouragement to vii
famous slanderers simply because they
were attacking his political opponents
The chronic grumblers will have an
opportunity to feel the rough side OF
the sandpaper as it grinds away their
pretension and hypocrisy to expose the
democratic party as it really is--Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

disclosingly to his dearest friend. Clar-

though gladdened by that sense of self
conquest which is the sweet wages of

Alonzo and Kathleen heard them. and
the voluminous cadences they breathed
built for both heavenly castles of ex-
pectancy.

she moved toward Alonzo.

"Never! You've kept her from crown

Alonzo, stung, was about to reply;
but Kathleen caught her mother by the

assertion which had more than once re-
PEELED the spirit of even this woman's

THE END.
Giant Powder In Their Boots.

1t is curious fact that no one miner
out of every hundred who has had any
experience will do anything but put the
sticks of giant powder into his bootlegs
He knows just about how much giant
powder he will need during the shift,
and this he receives before he enters
the shafthouse to go down. Then he
carefully places it in the leg of his boot,
and in this manner conveys it into the
mine. The miners have stopped ''crimp-
ing" the Illuminating caps with their
teeth of late years. This is due, prob
ably, to the suicide at Chicago of Lingg
one of the anarchists who was SEN
fenced to be hanged with Spies and the
rest. Lingg exploded one of the caps
by biting it and blew most of his head
off. Now the majority of the miners
crimp the cap on the heel of their boot
with knife.-The Great Divide.

But if he be a king as well, then the OBJ

spoken together on this question of the
rights of kings. You know how l de-

royalty and becomes vested with a

LONG AND TIME MEASURE.
Origin of the Division of the Day Into
Twenty Four Parts.

Origin of the Division of the Day Into
Twenty-Four Parts.
Our measures of length seem to
have originated with the dawn of
civilization, and to have come to as
through the AnglO-Saxons. Tie yard
was originally the length of some
ancient monarch's arm, the foot the
length of his pedal extremities. The
word inch is derived from the Latin
word uncia, twelfth part, but why
the foot was divided into twelfths
instead of tenths, elevenths, or six
teenths, no one claims to be wise
enough to tell 1t has been suggested
that probably the inch was originally
the length of the second joint of the
forefnger, it being known that twelve
of these about equal the length of the
forearm. The inch was formerly di-
vided into three BARLEY corns, each of
which were simply the length of the
corn or grain of the barley. The mile
was anciently reckoned as being one
thousand PAGES or steps, as its name i'm
plies. for it is derived from the first
word of the Latin phrase, militia pas
SUM, thousand PAGES; the origin Of
the rod is doubtful
The division of the day into twenty
four equal parts of one hour each
originated with the Egyptians, then
passed to Greece and Babylon. Why
divided into twenty-four instead of into
some other number of hours it is inn
possible to say. The Chinese give
twelve hours to the day and night,
evidently making them to correspond
with the time of the apparent passage
of the sun over one of the twelve
zodiacal signs. -Philadelphia Press

Association does prevail sometimes to
hallow, endear, or dignity the most
awkward arrangement of vowels and
consonants. The names conferred by
sailors upon their battle ships, like
those chosen by Red Indians. for their
braves, usually convey an idea of awe,
grandeur, swiftness, or beauty, and
there was something comically incon-
gruous in the dispatches which reached
this country of the doughty perfor-
mances of the Gillian ironclad, the

ton is baffied in attempting to read
the significance underlying that pa
tronymic; for, even as pronounced by a
foreigner, with the true value of the

without knowing the history attached,
to receive the impression of terror or
admiration.--Blackwood's Magazine.

THE IMPATIENT DEMOCRACY.
Impetuous PIsce-Hunters CIamoring for
Office.


A good deal of silly and irrelevant
talk is now heard among democrats
concerning the rapidity with which, in
European representative governments,
a revolution in a general election is re-
flected in the management of public
affairs. We are told that defeat for
the party in power in England or
France would result in an immediate
change of administration and policy.
The cabinet would resign at once. and
a new one, formed out of members OF
the vic orious party, would be put in
its place. This is true, but it Is not
pertinent. Things cannot be done
that way here. The constitution for
bids it, and the present usages must
continue to prevail until the eOnstitu-
tion is altered. We have no cabinet
in the British or French sense.
Even if the president and all the mem
berS of our cabinet had resigned the
day after the election, the democratic
accession to power would not have
been fastened to the extent of single
hour.
The sensible thing for thu inpatient
democrats to do Is to try TO mold senti-
ment in favor of n change in the con-
stitution which would make the terms
of the president and of congress begin
on the first ay of January immediate
" following their election, and to have
the first stated session Of congress COM
mence mt the opening of its term. This
would call for pretty quick work in the
count ng of the votes for president, it
1 is true. but the change would not pre-
sent any difficulty of this sort in regard
! to congress, for the legislature to
I choose the new senators would meet in
/ December. BY this means the govern
ment could be kept in "cl0se touch with
the people" Beaten presidents and
! congresses could not lag superfuous on
/ the stage of affairs. The will of the
/ people. as indicated at the ballot-bOx,
would be put Immediately into eXecu-
| ton.
/ Changes of this sort in the eonstitu-
! ton have often been suggested, and So
/ far as it pertains to congress this
/ change would certainly be wise. Such
a scheme would undoubtedly secure
much popular support. Even as it per-
| tains to tie president the proposition
would also command considerable IA
vor. This is an age of reform" There
is a large element of the population
who would abolish any political usage
| that is old and put something different
and hitherto uptried in its place. Hun
/ dreds of thousands think that the mode
of electing presidents is too slow and
| cumbrous: tens of thousands say that
| the idea of having n president at all is
antiquated and absurd, and that com
mission or board should be put in his
place. Then there are others who
would abolish the senate rs well as the
president Nobody ever saw an age in
this country more favorable to new
notions in politics than this is. Let
the exultant and impetuous democracy
| pitch in according to constitutional
methods for the required changes in
| the system of doing things, for the
/ president and the republican members
/ of congress are going to hang on to
their offices until the term ends for
which the people elected them.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

sition will be ready when the time for

sition will be ready when the time for
opening comes.
Grover Cleveland. who will be presi-
dent by that time, will be invited to
attend the opening ceremonies and
take an active part therein, in fact, de-
liver the Grafton of the occasion. Hav-
ing denied himself the pleasure of at
tending the dedIcatOry ceremonies last
October there is little doubt that he will
be glad to avail himself of the invitation
if it should be possible for him to leave
the capital at that time.
1t NAV be well, even as early as the
present time, to say n word of warning
to people from outside who want to
visit Chicago during the exposition 1t
goes without saying that the city will
be continually crowded. Even at the
time of the dedication there was such
a crowd present that some downtown
restaurants were obliged to shut their
doors to keep people out. This will
no. be so bad during the exposition
as there are plenty of additional hotels,
boarding houses and restaurants in
course of erection that will he able to
care for any crowd that may come. 1t
is a matter of course that there will be
many companies and private indi
viduals who want to take care of Wis
itors and get their trade. Most of these
will be legitimate, reliable concerns,
but it will be impossible entirely TIC
prevent all improper practices. Peo-
pie who intend to visit Chicago, as
most people in the country seem to be
doing, should make proper pro-
vision beforehand. Many have reia-
tlves or friends in the city who
can give the desired information
and assistance. Those who have
not may be glad to know that the ex-
position is about to organize a bureau
whose special duty will be to look afte
visitors. This bureau will not enter
tain them or run hotel or bOardin
house, but it will have all information
for the guidance of strangers. They
will be able to tell what parties are re-
| liable and what kind of accOmmoda-
| tions may be obtained at different
places. 1t will be admissible, after
this bureau shall be organized, to APP
ply to it for all information of this
kind Visitors will thus save them
selves much trouble and annoyance
| and be enabled to devote their time to
seeing the exposition and the city of
! Chicago instead of looking after theiI
| baggage and trying one boarding
| house after another.

might perhaps do himself the honor to
request the hand of her divine daugh-
ter The elderly Russian ambassador,
overhearing this remark as he present
ed her with an ice and a glass OF
champagne, declared that his royal
master would never have gone to Den
mark for a bride if he had had the de-
light of seeing "lHddemOiselIe, Uetre file"
''Ah! prince" cried Mrs. Kennaird, in
her most genial trebles and with her
very acceptable if imperfect French,
''there has never yet been an American
queen, and l imagine there never will
be- My poor, innocent child has never
dreamed of such an honor, and, really,
if it were offered to her she would hard
" know how to wear it"
The Austrian and Russian exchanged
glances. They were both men of very
high rank. and it is probable that they
abhorred the tenets of Clarimond while
respecting and perhaps loving his char
acter. That he should marry an Amer
lean girl, though her beauty were
brighter than the Spartan Helen's and
her breeding beyond a Recamier's, no
doubt struck them both as the essence
of the ridiculous. But while they may,
or may not, have thus quickly and tacit-
" told one another their mutual con-
tempt and disapprobation, Kathleen
suddenly appeared, with Alonzo in her
wake Kathleen the wife felt far
holder than if she were still Kathleen
the unwedded. Or perhaps because she
was herself so intoxicated by joy, 1T
seemed to her as if few words, deliv-
cred aside to her mother, might soften
the sense of calamity they impaired.
This, however, was not true. Mrs.
Kennaird heard her low-voiced tidings
and shivered as though an arctic blast
had invaded the ballroom.
Meanwhile the ball went on, eddying,
whirling, billowing in that ecstacy of
dance beloved by the young of opposite
sexes. The sweet. wild means of the
violins were rasping screeches in the
ears of Mrs. Kcnnaird, but in other fem
mime ears they were tender melodies of
promise, of elation, of delicious inebri-
ETY..
Blanca d'Este heard them, and hoped.
The princess of Brindisi heard them,
and half hoped, half doubted. Eric
Thaxter heard them and sighed because
of that mystic and grievous Partisan
past concerning which he had, per-
