The theatrical story is that certain travel
ing company in England was in bad luck,
the actors not having been paid for several
weeks A strike was organized. and at
rehearsal of "Hamlet" wherein the manager
was Hamlet it was carried into effect. "Per-
chance twill walk again." said Hamlet OF
the ghost; but the actor who played the lat
ter part, forsaking Shakespeare. shouted
emphatically: "No! I'm burned If the
ghost walks any more until the salaries are
paid" 1t is a good story, and sounds as II
it might really be true.
Which party cried "Fifty-four forty or
fght?' and what did the cry mean? Z. +.
The Democrats; in 1874 There was
dispute between ourselves and Great Brit
ain over the boundary line of the Oregon
Territory, the question being where the
line should run. We said that the line OF
$40 40 north latitude was the proper line;
Great Britain said it wasn't; and the elec-
tion came while the question was still nm
settled. The Democrats cried 'tFifty-iour
forty or fghtp' meaning that if they came
into power they would have that boundary,
even if the country went to war with Eng
land about it. We didn't get that bound
ary, however, even though Polk was elected;
the line remained as it had been decided
upon by our treaty of 1918.

1he Grand Circuit Trottfng Races.
Judging from the success of the Grand
Circuit trotting races in this city and in
Cleveland that famous sport is more popu-
lar than ever. At both cities named the
racing and the patronage have been unusu-
ally good. In this city there was more
money invested on the races than there was
during any previous meeting, and that
means very great deal. And let me re-
mark that L have never seen a more intelli-
gent and more respectable crowd of men
at any public gathering than saw at the
poolstands of the Homewood race track.
There is reason to believe that some re-
markably fast time will be made by trotters
and PAGERS this year, if the races SO far 60

ALWAYS against records being broken, it is
not unreasonable to expect that the very

saying, a government Of the people
for the people and bv the people; or
whether it is to be Il government of
those who have the most money and
least conscience. for the advantage
of the rich to make them still richer,
and through party which has ceased
to be the party of moral ideas, and
has become the party of immoral prac-
tees. This is the question of to-day"
Nothing could more accurately des-
cribe the condition confronting the
American people. AT the last cleo
ton the government was, rs MIR.
Schurz put it, knocked down to the
highest bidder" The legislation of
the Fifty-frst congress was bought by
protected manufacturers who wanted
more protection. This was admitted
by one of them, who openly declared
the Mckinley act was ''their law
they bought it."
The men who have the most money
and the least conscience are again IN
council with Quay and Martin. The
legislative price list has been issued,
quoting lowest rates for line in the
next tariff law. Legislation which
was once for the benefit of all is now
enacted Only for those who will pay
for it. The word has been passed

This i, blunt and rough-but it is
true. 1t is not the product of a par
tisan imagination hut solemn fact
confessed by those who have protited
by the sale of 1898. In view of all
that has been admitted it seems im-
possible for an honest man to hesitate.
The question is simply, Shall money

To win the democrats must get fifty
four votes from the doubtful states,
and the republicans need seventy
four.
Under the Australian ballot system
Indiana Is almost certain for Cleve-
land, and in New York the democrats
are almost certain to win. These two
states will give fifty-one votes more to
Cleveland, or in all 220 of the neces-
sary 223.
New York Is, of course. the great
battlefield. Money is lying in the
Hoffman House up to sl09, 900 To bet
at odds of sIO,O 900 tn 81 900 that the
Democrats will carry this state. This
money is uncovered. No one wants
the other side. Some people say bet.
ting does not prove anything. This
Is mistake. This Hoffman House
offer shows that knot Of very wise,
cool people. after full and careful
inquiry, and going all through the
New York situation with Il lantern,
believe that Cleveland will carry tn,
state, and believe it hard. Believe
it ten to seven. On the other hand

money ,lisclose> that no doubt exist,

view.
Harrison has driven many Republi
can leaders from Indiana, and Will

diana is honestly Democratic. and the
present disaffection in the Republican
ranks means that the Democrats vii
carry it by at least 1000 plurality.

MICHIGAN's VOTE.
DETROIT, MICH., Nov. 1.-The
electoral vote of Michigan will he dis
tributed by congressional districts.
The districts are fourteen in number,
two ut large and twelve for the con-
gressional districts. The republicans.
according to their figures, will prob
ably chose eight presidential electors
one in the Western District at large
and in the Second, Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth
districts. The democrats are conceded
six-one in the Eastern District at
large and in the First, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Tenth Districts. The
peoples party and democrats have
fused on electors in the Fourth, Sixth
and Seventh districts. There was a
small republican majority in the last
two, but conservative men concede
that the fusion is likely to overcome
it. As to the vote on congressman Il
conservative estimate gives the First,
Fourth, Seventh and Tenth districts
to the democrats by reason of natural
majorities, while republicans claim
that the First and fourth are more
likely to 90 in their favor.

Of Next Tuesday

Without doubt the great presidential
race will be close one. Men who
study to know theexact situation rather
than devoting time to extravagant
claims to be used for effect say that.
The hopes of the democrats are
based upon carrying the entire South,
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Wisconsin and getting five cleo
tors in Michigan-22S votes. To win
they must have 223 votes, 80 that this
will give them five to spare.

A Story in Every Face.

I love old faces: they are always true
writes Gerald 5. Lee in an article en-
titled "As it is Seen in Our Faces III
the June Ladies Home Journal. The
old mans face is his autobiography;
it is his life in miniature. a face is
the scenery of the soul, the camera OF
our thoughts: although We have not
really seen face until our hearts have
followed the whole repertoire of its eN,
pressions, yet each mans habitual
face, as fair general expression OF
himself, is as if a composite had been
taken and the soul had had thous-
and sittings, each negative differing
in it's way, but all combined resulting
in this one. Why should man bt
ashamed of his wrinkles? 1t is being
ashamed not Of what he seems, bat OF
what he is. Wrinkles in Il mans face
are kind of orthography. natures
handwriting, the shorthand of features,
i'm which the main ideas of mans
life are set down without his knowing
it, and in spite of himself, and in the
very midst of his denIals. 1t is Ian
guage without grammar, and only
the vaguest sort os a lexicon, but ev'
ery man can read it. 1T is German to
the German, and Indian to the Indian;
the universal language of the globe,
the instructive Nolapuk OF mankind!

What 10 do with a bad Temper.

Starve il. Giye it nothing to feed
on. When something temps you to
grow angry, do not yield to the temp
tation. 1t may for a minute or two be
difficult for you to control yourself;
but try it. Force yourself to do moth
ing, to say nothing, and the rising tenn,
per will be obliged to go down because
it has nothing to hold it up. The per-
son who can and does control tongue,
hand, heart in the face of great pro-
vocation is a hero. The world may
not OWE him or her as such; but God
does. The Bible says that he that rul-
eth his spirit is better than he that
taketh city: What is gained by
yielding to temper? For a moment
there is feeling of relief, but soon
comes q sense of sorrow anu shame,
with wish that the temper had been
controlled. Friends are separated by
bad temper, trouble is caused by it,
and pain is given to others as well as
to self. That pain, too, often lasts for
days, even years-sometimes for life.
An outburst Of temper is like the
bursting of steam boiler; it is i'm
possible to tell beforehand what will be
the results. The evil done may never
be remedied. Starve your temper. II
is not worth keeping alive. Let it
die.---EXchaDge.
