Nsi,her Cleveland nor Hill.

EpIroRs HERALD: Your able advo-
cacy of the claims of Senator David B.
Hill to the presidential nomination at
the hands OF the national Democracy de-
rives it's principal inspiration and justi-
fcation, apparently, from the demon
strated fact that he commands a larger
personal following among the Democrats
of New York than Grover Cleveland,
and the further fact that he has been,
so far, always able to marshal the forces
that win in that state.
These are ponderable claims, but their
cogency as arguments is proper and
pertinent matter for consideration and
analysis. In the first place, up to the
time that Grover Cleveland met his defeat
in New York in 1888, he had not failed
of election nor OF the enthusiastic ap-
probation and support of the best New
Workers, irrespective of party. Cover
nor Hill was nothing OF personality or
potentiality until he inherited the gu
bernatorial chair from Cleveland. lat
he then showed himself an astute po-
litical manager cannot be disputed. But
what was it that first attracted national
attention to him? Was it any profound
political aphorism or utterance? Any
perspicacious suggestion as to the needs
OF the body polite or of reforms in the
national administration Not so. He
made the gratuitOus proclamation II
am a Democrat" just as Foraker of
Ohio proclaimed II am a Republican" f"
Senator Hill first became really con-
spicuous when Cleveland lost New York

No doubt Governor Hill knows the po-
litical forces in New York thoroughly

didate? He cannot draw any following
from the Independent voters of New
York. That element will be arrayed
solidly against him. He cannot com
mand the active support of a large mum
ber of Democratic in that state and else
where who contrast his personal state
craftiness with Grover Cleveland's i'm
personal statesmanship. Senator Hill
has the personal characteristics tha
would commend him to Republican
national convention for a presidential
nomination. Heis a Democratic Blaine
without Blaine's personal magnetism
and gifts of speech. The Democrati,
party must have, to inspire it to fall init

1t may be true that Cleveland ought
not to be thrust upon the New Yorl
Democratic machine by the national
convention at Chicago. Whatever MAY

The frequency of suicides, and of
murders followed by suicide, has re-
vealed very unpleasant development
of modern life. Although churches are
spread all over the land, and no cross
roads is without one of some denomina-
tion, the morality OF the masses has
been greatly lowered. Crime seems to
be steadily on the increase The tend
ency towards self-murder is simply a
proclamation of the fact that faith is on
the wane. Whether it be the suicide OF
a president of bank, as in the case of
Collins, or OF an unrestrained voluptu-
ary, like Avak, self-denial, fortitude and
a sense of responsibility to the Creator,
seem to be left out of the count. The
suicide of a Turk is an unusual incl
dent, as the very essence of Islamism is
fatalism, thus forbidding the challeng-
ing of the DEGREES of destiny by self
destruction.

Hill and Cleveland in that common
wealth is very affecting, but it is all fol
de rol. OF course the Mugwumps will
all vote against Hill, but he will be fifty
thousand stronger on that account. The
Expresses effort to keep up its courage
reminds us of our own attempts to fig
ure out ratios in the old days of the
Republican ascendancy in the United
States. The ratios were all right, but
the results were somewhat disappoint-

equally successful this year, the stakes
being much larger, his winnings would

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Frederick Warde in The Mounte-
bank last evening had a rival who
closely pushed him for the honors OF the
evening in Miss Fannie Bowman who
played the Mountebank's son, Henri.
Both roles are essentially character
parts, and give plenty OF opportunity
for nice detail work. Mr.. Warde never
did more consistent, satisfactory piece
of acting than in the title role. He
touches all gradations, from too fond
husbands happiness, to the misery of
a broken-hearted wandering wretch,
with master hand. and produces a
character study which is very power
full.
A more chaming picture than that
presented by Miss Bowman's 8 conception
of the part OF Henri can hardly be i'm
agined. She looks the affectionate, in
nocent little lad to perfection, and has
evidently studied the possibilities of the
part with great care and pictures exact
ly the pathetic youngster that the author
had in his mind. There was not the
slightest Indication of self-consciousness
or OF affectedness in her work; while the
situations and "the business" called for
by the lines were perilously near to be-
ing bathos, she avoided everything
which would color the study with un-
naturalness.
Mr.. Vogelsang again showed himself
to be the peer of any OF bis associates.
Mr.. Charles Herman made most fin
ished villain and Miss Adele Belgrade
played the mountebank's wife effec.
lively.

It has been the habit among steam
boat men, when the water was low, or
the channel was uncertain, to place
man with lead and line in hand to
fathom the water. The depth of the
water was called from time to time in
a drawing, measured way, as long as
the lead touched bottom, but if too
deep for that, he calls out "No-bot-
toni" The soldiers who travelled up
and down the Mississippi river adopted
the phrase, and often when blowing
through the mud could be heard in the
same drawing tones in heavy chorus,
crying "No-bottOm! !"
When the Yazoo expedition came in
after the attempt Of the Union forces
to reach Vicksburg in that way, the
boats looked as though they had been
in cyclone, they were so dismantled.
The chimney-stacks, and all Of the
light woodwork had been torn away,
and little but the bare timbers re-
manned. Gen. Legget was one of the
last to leave that terrible stream Of
death, and made his way TO Young's
Point with his boat and force It was
after dark, and the rain was falling,
when the troops were ordered to dis
embark. The mud had been churned
to thick mire by the long train of
teams coming to the fleet Of boats for
their supplies, and tens of thousands
Of men passing to and fro. So when
these brave men who had gone down
from the Pass near Helena to battle in
the wilderness and cut down trees and
put ropes about them and drag them
with their bare hands by main force
cheerfully on the bank that their boats
| might pass, to the landing, they
plunged cheerfully into the mud.
Swash swash they went, till some
one took up the cry, mo ottom!"
then all joined the chorus. But some
hungry soldier raised another cry:
then all took up
the chorus, keeping time with the
swash of the mud, till the general
halted them and requested them to go
quietly to the mp.-American Trib-

ward for the presidency. George
Dawson, Mr.. weeds associate
| in the management of the Journal,
accompanied him, so the paper was
left in charge of Erred" Seward, as he
was then called. It was q foregone
conclusion with Mr. Weed that Mr..
Seward would be nominated. Accord
ingly, taking time by the forelock, be-
fore leaving for Chicago he loaded the
lofts of the Journal building with
fireworks, which were to be touched
off on the joyful evening Of the mem
orable day of the nomination. The
morning when the convention was TO
begin balloting Mr.. Weed telegraphed
Fred from Chicago to hold back the
last edition Of the paper until he got
! news of his fathers nomination. The
leader commenting the nomination
was in type; the rockets and Roman
candles were ready to food the sky
with many tinted glory; the ticket
for President, William Fl. Seward, Of
New York q was also in type; and
Fred sat Eserenely in the Journals
sanctum waiting for the formal-but to
HIM rather unnecessary-ann
ment that the favorite had beaten the
field.
That was the situation when, after
the third ballot at Chicago, telegram
was handed Fred announcing that the
Republican National Convention had
nominated Abraham Lincoln, of Hi
nois. We may be sure that for few
minutes Fred was prey to his emo
t1ons. He must have felt as if he had
been interviewed by a cyclone with q
dynamite attachment. But the in
stlnct Of the trained journalist soon re-
asserted itself and he got to work.
There was a Seward leader to be pre-
pared. But, before sitting down to
write, he scratched off For Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, :"
and told q messenger to take it to the
composing room and explain to the
foreman that that Was the ticket which
was to go to the masthead.
Presently an excited voice came
down the tube connecting the sanctum
and the composing room. It was the
voice of the paralyzed foreman, him
self an admirer of William H. Seward.
Ordinarily an amiable foreman, but
when his temper was ruff1ed, more en-
phatic than genteel in the use of the
language, which he rendered in ner-
vous, falsetto tones"
Halo, Mr.. Seward!" the foreman
screamed down the tube.

A Philadelphia Tenant Who Has Paid No
Kent for Years.
There is man n business on Arch
Street, and in the lower portion Of that
important thoroughfare, where business
properties are very valuable, says the
Philadelphia Record, who, while he
does not own the building he occupies,
and has no friendly relations with the
person who does own it, has paid no rent
for eighteen years and has never been
asked to do SO during that long interval
OF time. For the eighteen years IN
question the business man has been
awaiting the appearance either OF his
landlord or the latter's agent, and dur
ing that long period he has paid the
taxes on the building and kept 1t in
thorough repair. His business has
been most prosperous one and several
rivals have felt the sting of his ability
to sail much closer to the wind than
they do owing to his being relieved of
the usual yoke of rent day.
1t IS not at all unlikely that the
property will become his by right of
undisputed possession at the expiration
of q years, and it is worth many thou
sands of dollars. Those who are con-
versant with the strange case have
come to the conclusion that the owner
has long since been dead and it is sup
posed that he was lost at sea- 1t is lust

The kennesaw mountain, as you
look Northward from Atlanta, Ga, is
the most conspicuous object in the
landscape; distant about twenty-five
miles. At this place-on it's slopes
was fought the bloodiest battle in the
justly celebrated March to the Sea, ="
under Gen. Sherman. The battle was
followed soon after by the fall of At
lanta-the most important strategic
feature at that stage in the war in all
the South. The March to the Sea cut
the confederacy in two and, showed
how utterly drained it was of re-
source to prolong the war. The cam
paign followed early the next spring
by the taking of Richmond, closed the
