Under this head the excellent Pitts
burgh Dispatch has m article which
elbows the Pittsburgh inability to ap'
preciate the difference between skim
milk and cream.
Your toby. sir, ii you please, is not
our stogie by another name; and you
can no more level the Pittsburgh pro.
duct up to the higher plane oil tho
Wheeling stogie than you eau pull down
the stogie to the lower degree OF the
toby.
1t is very shrewd to explain that
'toby'' is an abbreviation Of "stogle,"
but there Is no more reason to suppose
this to be true than to infer that tho
reproachful term "two.for" lie an abbre-
Walton of "Henry Clay" or "perfccto."
No sir, you can no more establish for
you plebeian toby relationship with our
patrician stogie by seeking to point out
m abbreviated kinship, than you Gun
impart to your inferior smoke that
sweet soothing, that lazy languor, that
for a moment steals over tho refined
sensibllities, then nerves the whole
being to tho noblest action, when the
stogle is being offered up US u sacrifice.
Men have been known to smoke tho
Pittsburgh toby and, by a superhuman
effort OF a strong will power, live. 1t is
an open and a fair question whether
tho refined aud sympathetic dovOtoc Of
the Wheeling stogio can ever die.

AL AM AnthropoIogIeal ExhIDIt.

AS An hhtnrOpOioSiCul SA""
Tho American exhibit at the lair
would have been incomplete without
the gathering OF silver slang'wangers.
Nothing in the whole show equals it as
an anthropological exhibit. The world
has only to look on that aggregation to
SEQ how many varieties Of the helpless
ones we can have in this country with
out going pell-mell to tho dogs.
Men who talk us these men do, who
breathe threatenings and slaughter,
paint lurid pictures of the last days OF
the republic ii their noisy minority DO
not allowed to have its way,-men OF
this stripe would not b~eregarded as safe
in any other country until they had
been placed where they could not do
themselves violence.
1t is almost impossible to believe that
the men who are doing the silver con-
veution talking have enough lucid in
tervals to earn u living; but some OF
them have, and they earn their living
by Just such talk. Within q few days
they will have pitched their moving
tents in Washington, there to entertain
members of Congress with their con-
vocational powers.
1t is a queer gathering, that monde
script convention, but some Of the
loudest are not the crazicst. They know
what sort OF product their immediate
market will take at this time, and while
windis cheap and the pay fur they will
not be compelled to shut down.

Democratic statesmen who are at
tempting to throw discredit upon the
Republican party and charging II with
responsibility for the present financial
condition are doing u very unwise
thing, 1t ia best not to raise partisan
questions now-best both for political
parties aud for the country.
The trouble with tho country undoubt-
edly is q lack OF confidence. There is
uncertainty about Congress, with its
mixture Of statesmen, hard money
men, silverites, Populists with all sorts
Of crazy notions and other cranks.
There is uncertainty whether the re-
peal of tho silver bill-if it can be re-
pealed-wiIl not be followed by some
other measure equally as bad for the
disposal OF silver. There is uncertainty
about the tariff. All these doubts COM
bined are responsible for the condition

The silver convention declares many
things and resolves many more, and
still some facts remain. The Conven-
ton Processes to think that this coun-
try "can stand on Its own feet" in
financial matters. We have tried it on
the silver line and come very near
standing on tho antipodes OF the feet,
SO to say.
Another halcyon and vociforous
thought is that this country can easily
maintain silver at par with gold at a
ratio OF sixteen to one. We have done
what We could for the silver mon in
that way, and we have seen the two
metals go further and further apart
until to-day the commercial ratio is
about thirty to one.
1t is to be feared that our amiable
friends on the silver side are false
prophets and would make bad leaders
for u great country. Furthermore it is
u reasonable apprehension that they
arc prejudiced.

A Hanford Mystery Which Has
Caused George Blair and Father

HANFoRD, Dec. 9.-An inquest was held
Swede, found dead on Cross Creek last
Wednesday. Peterson left Selma Last
Monday in company with young man by
the name of George Blair. They had a
complete camping outfit and started 10 go
to Tulare Lake on a three weeks hunt.
They arrived in Hanford Monday evening
and put up at the Rodgers livery-sta Bile.
Blair went to bed in the rear of the barn
after supper and Peterson went over to
town and got liquor. returning TO the
stable at II P. NJ. Becoming dissatisfied in
some way with the place, they hitched up
and drove south of town two miles. where
they camped for the night.
The next morning they returned to town
and searched at the stable for some money
Peterson claimed 10 have lost there the
night before, but did not find 1t. They
bought numerous articles at the stores
and demljobn of whisky at saloon. and
at last went to Leskers' harness-shop and
purchased a horse blanket for 81 75. In
paying for IL Peterson exhibited about
S400 in gold. Blair looked at the money.
They left the barness-store together and
put the blanket in their buggy. As they
unhitched to drive away a countryman

so he walked about town, returning In
half an hour, only to fod that Peterson
and the buggy weIe not to be seen. he
says he remained in town till the next
evening, thinking Peterson would return,
but he didn't; so Blair left for Selma on
the $40 Wednesday evening train.
He was questioned at great length by the
Coroner and jurors, and got considerably
mixed up in trying to explain his wander
ings about Hanford after getting separated
from his Swedish companion.
A man answering the description of
Blair was seen in the buggy with the de-
ceased Oh Tuesday afternoon, near where
the body was found. Blair stopped In the
Western lodging-house here on Tuesday
night, but would have had time to perpe-
trate the crime and get back early in the
evening. On Wednesday Blair bought
clothing and other articles and seemed to
be quite flush, and when asked where he
got the money he testified that the de-
ceased gave it to him before they sepa-
rated.
A telephone message was sent TO Selma,
where they came from, and Blair was ar
rested and brought here at once His
father, Asher Blair. accompanied him and
the officer. The Blairs lived here num-
Der of years ago. and the boy was always
thought to be half.witted. They usually
chopped wood for a living. The boy
claimed that the deceased was an old
friend and had done great deal for them,
but the next moment he stated that he
never knew Peterson's last name, but
always called him John.

sufficient TO merit further Investigation.
