Speaking Of the calamity in the resi-.
dence of Secretary Tracy, at Wash,
ington, dog fancier remarked that il
there had been one or more dogs in the
house no life would in all probability
have been sacrificed. ''There are, ;" he
said, scores of well attested instances
on record of house dogs being awak-
ened by the first smell of fire or smoke
and making such a racket as to com
pei the sleepers TO arouse in time TO
save their lives. Many such nara.
tives can be found in your newspaper
files, and | don't doubt but what they
are true.
''The scent of dog is so keen that
it detects any unusual odor in the at
mosphere, and its natural intelligence,
which uniformed people speak of as
instinct, teaches it that danger exists
for the persons whom it regards with
affection. Therefore, it seeks to awak-
en- them, and, of course, is successful,
If it is anywhere near them. Let me
recall to your mind an incident that
came close to being such tragedy as
that of the Tracy residence. 1t oc-
Cured some years ago in the home Of
Mr.. Fisher, a wealthy grain exporter
in Baltimore.
1.-The fire started in the rear portion
of his splendid house and burned
away the back stairs before reaching
around to the front structure. Mr..
Fisher and his wife slept in the sec
ond story front room. Mrs. Fishers
pet was toy terrier, that always
passed the night on a rug at the foot
OF her bed. The flames had not shown
at any of the windows when the dog
was aroused. 1t ran to the bed and
persistently parked.
Mr.. Fisher ordered il away and at
last slapped it to enforce his com
mand. Still the faithful dog stood
firm and barked its shrillest and loud
est. Thoroughly awakened from his
sleep Mr.. Fisher arose TO discover
what the trouble was and found lhe
oJor of smoke He threw open The
door and saw the fire that was eating
its way toward the apartment. But
he had time enough TO spare to arouse
his wife, to secure his jewels, money
and other valuables that were in the
room and to make an escape to the
street. The dog saved the life of Mr.
and Mrs. Fisher and enabled them to
bring away thousands of dollars in
cash and jewelry. Thousands of dol.
lars could not have efferward bought
the little animal, and when he died
his skin was stuffed and mounted and

DAVID DUDLEY FIELD A HERO.
He Rebukes = New York Swell for Striking
Little Street Urchin.

A queer looking little specimen of hu-
manity with an armful of newspapers
stood outside of the Grand Central depot
the other afternoon, crying his wares.
His hair was long and unkempt, bis
trousers were frayed at the edges, there
were patches of poverty on his little
jacket, but his eye was clear, and his
fattened nose showed that he was the
hero Of many gutter battle.
A pompous looking individual, with
his coat thrown open, heavy cane in
his hand, and dressed in the height of
fashion, came swinging down the street
in gorgeous style. The boy pulled one
Of his papers out, offered it to the swell,
and was rewarded for his efforts by o
thump on the back with 9 heavy cane.
The little fellow howled with pain. The
cebmen who congregate at the depot
smiled and the other boys laughed in
derision.
The swell had proceeded about three
steps on his way when a firm hand
grasped him by the collar, shook him
vigorously, and an old man, six foot two,
as straight as grenadier, and holding a
heavy malacca stick threateningly over
him, asked:
"How dare you hit boy?"
The swell tried to shake himself loose,
but it was no use. The old mans hand
was firm, the crowd was growing larger
and the boy was bowling as though his
heart would break.
"You, sir" went on the old man, az
the blood mounted to his face, "are O
disgrace to humanity. Old as l am,
can thrash you for that cowardly act.
And If ever know you to again lift
your hand to a boy will take the law
into my own hands"
The swell's head dropped little, and
his face was pale. The old man looked
him firmly in the eye, shook him again,
as q cat would a mouse, and walked on.
As he did SO the little boy, wiping the
tears from his cheeks. followed after and
thanked him. The old man patted him
affectionately on the head and disap
peared in the crowd. There was no com,
ment except by the small boy, who ex.
claimed: Amt he daisyi" He brushed
the tears from his eyes and in a moment
was as busy as ever selling his papers.
The old man was a daisy. 1t was none
other than David Dudley Field, the
greatest constitutional lawyer in the
world, brother of Cyrus w. and Stephen
J. Field. He is nearly SO years Of age,
but as vigorous as a man of 60 In his
young days he was famous boxer and
athlete, and the way he tackled the howl
ing swell showed that his good right
hand htG not forgotten its cunning

SENATOR SHERMAN, OF Ohio, who
is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York, said to a Commercial -4QVe1-
hser reporter Tuesday: 81 do not
believe in bossism. The one man
power or bossism that prevails in the
States of New York and PennsyIva-
MIA in both parties would not be
tolerated in Ohio. Why. Mr.. Plat
would have lost his head long ago in
Ohio, or most any Western State
l do not mean his physical, but his
political head. There never has been
time since l have been in public
life that would have dared to inter-
tere with the Republican party in
the selection of candidates for any
office. The people in the State
would not tolerate any interference
in such affairs, and they are right.
When you hear anyone talk OF
Foraker, Mckinley, or Sherman
faction controlling a convention or
manipulating political affairs you
may know that it is not true. On
the contrary, the voters comprising
the Republican party in Ohio are
not manipulated by any one man or
faction. They nave their natural
rights, and they would not permit
any man to dictate to them. Such
a state of affairs politically as exists
in New York and Pennsylvania could
not exist in any of the Western
States" The Senator would not
discuss the financial situation.

WESTERN BANK FAILURES.

Public attention has generally been
directed to the failure of the Colum-
bian National Bank of Chicago, as
well as the closing OF a number OF
small branches of that short lived
establishment. Dispatches from
Chicago inform us, that the failures
are attributable to the 'iuexperience
of the officials in the conduct of
banking Affairs" If there had been
no other reasonable explanation of
these failures, the public might have
understood the case. East as we'll
as West, there are scores OF men OF
varying ages and of very limited
experience IS financiers, conducting
banks, who vainly imagine them
selves expert banking men, and with
some of whom rascality has supplied
the place OF experience. They are
speculative class of gentlemen, who
establish banks which can be more
properly DESIGNATED shaving shops"
organized upon the get-rch quick
principle, of which the Keystone
Bank of Philadelphia and other
kindred financial (O institutions are
notorious examples. In Chicago the
speculative fever, always at the high
est, has been wonderfully stimulated
by the development of property in
the vicinity of the Worlds Fair
grounds, and these inexperienced"
speculative hnanciers have of course
opened banks in that locality, which
it hasn't taken the depositors very
long to discover were of the truly
speculative character.
The dispatches do not inform rs
IN what direction the "inexperience"
of the bank managers ran, but it
seems that one deposition in the
Columbian Bank Scented danger"
and suspecting the true character OF
their inexperience % withdrew
S1oo, 600 from the bank in a lump,
and although its nominal capital
exceeded that amount many times,
it appeared to have no other
resources, and promptly cl, sed its
doors.
The career of the Columbian Bank
emphasizes the fact that in addition
to individual honesty in its managers,
to be a successful banker in these
times, requires as careful an appren-
ticeship or training as any other
avocation or profession. They seem
to..have imagined that anybody could
run a bank, and to have made an
experiment in that line, which was
at least highly interesting to the
depositors.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's manifesto
to Office seekers, ordering them from
his august presence, has had the effect
of putting the heads of the depart
ments nearly to their wits ends. A
few OF the disciplined office seekers
have gone away from Washington.
But these were greenhorns, and 1t is
almost needless to say that such are
in very small minority. The real
well seasoned office seeker, the State
boss, the district leader and the thous,
and and one workers." who began
counting the cost of ticket to the
capital as soon as the result of the late
election was announced, and who have
it all laid out just what they will do
when in office, are claimants who do
not give up so easily. They have been
obliged to vacate the White House
and the Presidents office but the
several departments are not forbidden
them, and here they have assembled,
determined to FAKE desperate stand
and get their offices or worry the
department heads into insanity in the
attempt.
There are good many people who
profess to believe that this is the only
right way to deal with the question of
office seekers and who declare that all
applications should be made to the
head of the proper department, what
ever they may be and after being
passed upon by that department should
then, and not before, be considered by
the President. But after the experience
through which reports indicate Secre-
tary Carlisle and his fellow Cabinet
officers are going it is not likely that
there will be many disciples of this
theory left among the department
authorities, at any rate. The truth of
the whole matter, however, is just this
dealing with the office seekers and
making the Federal appointments is not
a pleasant business nor an easy one at
any time or under any conditions.

The last National Democratic

The last National Democratic
platform contained plank advoca-
ting the repeal of the ten per cent
tax on the issues of State banks.
What we may expect by revival OF
wild cat" banks was clearly demon
strated in the West last week, when
a number of speculative banks sud-
denly collapsed. If these concerns
had been able to issue notes of their
own, as they would be under the
Democratic scheme, isn't it plain
that the loss to the public would
have been four times as great as it
was?

PROF. L. M. HAUPT, Chief of the
Civil Engineering Department Of the
University of Pennsylvania, reiterates
his views as to the feasibility of the
Chesapeake and Delaware route in
the building OF deep water canal to
the sea, in a communication to the
Baltimore San of Monday last.
Although the realization OF this
enterprise may be somewhat distant,
yet the project is matter OF some
interest locally, since Prot. Haupt
calls attention to the fact that the
Delaware and Chesapeake route has
been reported by the United States
engineers as the most feasible, and
the shortest OF the links on the
Atlantic coast water way.

PENSIONS AND POLITICS.

There can be no doubt that the de.
serving soldier who went ulflinchingly
to the front at his country's call, and
while enduring the hardships of camp,
march and conflict, incurred wounds or
other permanent disabilities regards
the pension list as roll of honor, and
earnestly desires with all other good
citizens, the adoption of such meas
ures by Congress or by those charged
with the administration of the laws, as
will purge the list of all those who have
been placed thereon through fraud or
misrepresentation but the undeserving
class which unfortunately, constitutes
a considerable proportion of the list
will never relinquish the benefits
wrongfully acquired without bitter
and determined struggle and many
well meaning and conscientious men
in public life, who acknowledge and
earnestly deplore the existence of
pension abuses will hesitate to align
themselves on the side of corrective
measures for fear of its possible adverse
effect upon their political fortune.
l contend therefore that the admin
lstration of the pension laws should. if
possible, be completely divorced from
politics, and while have not yet been
able to fully satisfy my mind as to the
practibility of the change, it may be
found upon careful consideration and
investigation, that the transfer of the
bureau to the war Department pro-
posed in a recently offered (but not
adop,ed) amend ment to the Pension
Appropriation bill and to the care of
courageous. able and fair minded army
officer would be step in the right
direction. The demand that tie
pension list be maintained in its ideal
status as. roll of honor is not a parti
san one, but voices the sentiment of
the conservative and enlightened
element OF the country without regard
to party affiliations.
