AT LAST.

The old saying that Holdfast In n bet
ter dog than Brag receives confirmation
In the news from Washington.
TIL opposition To repeal Is to he aban-
doned. Compromise In dead and buried.
The unconditional" policy is to be al
lowed to prevail. and the bill wiping out
the sllver-purchasing clause of the Shcr-
man law il to go to n vote MS 1t passed
the House. That, of course. means Its
passage by the Senate and it1 approval
by the President.
Tho Democratic silver Senators were
the first to return to reason and haul
down the nlibustering flag. The Rcpub-
lican sllvcritcs ollowed their lead and no
obstructionists now appear on the sur
face except the three Populists. Under
these circumstance II may be fairly pre-
dicted hat the disgraceful scenes In the
Senate Will speedily be brought to n
close, and that the business OF legisla-
tion will be resumed.
This result will be mainly due to the
r~csolute attitude OF the Administration.
The recent vigorous effort to bring about
a compromise was really the means of
Fastening the crisis. because 1t afforded
an opportunity OF letting the Democratic
Senator's know distinctly and positively
that no compromise would be acceptable
to the President or the Secretary OF the
Treasury. The chief honors OF the
triumph of unconditional repeal will
therefore go to President Cleveland.
But Senator Hilrs course has con-
tributed largely to victory-perhaps more
largely than appears on the surface
and he Ia entitled to his share Of the
~laurels. The plain. practical fact is that
the Republican Senators, and all,
feared the success Of Mr.. Hills cloture
rule proposition. which would affect In
the future the inevitable fight over the
Tariff and the Federal Election bills.
ditional repeal, with all the credit II
would BRING to the Democratic Admins
tration and the Democratic party, to a
rule that would tie their hands when the
Tariff and Election questions come be-
fore them for action.
or course. the end Is not yet reached.
1t Is not likely that any change OF
policy will take place among the silver
Senators on the Republican or Demo-
cratic side. But the Populists may pos
sibly fiibuster on amendments and drive
of the vote until after election. But
this is scarcely proha bly,. and there Is
little doubt that within a few lays the
vote will be taken in the Senate on the
unconditional repeal bill and the bill
will become a law.
Score one for the Democratic platform
of 1897.

WAS ALMOST A FATAL DOSE.
Comptroller White Proved Peculiarly
susceptible 30 . Drug.

Comptroller william G. white, of the
Blocker Street Savings Bank who was
nearly knocked out last week by a dose
OF medicine. which his doctor had given
him for an attack OF bronchitis, Is
gradually recovering from the effects OF
the poison, and is expected to be at his
post at the bank In a few days.
The prescription. which contained as
ingredients, the alkaloids OF hyoscyamin
and opium. two active poisons. was ap-
parently all right, but 1t had a very
peculiar effect on Mr.. White, who only
took a single dose OF the medicine after
he reached the bank last Thursday
He first became drowsy and then fell
into a stupor. from which he could not
be reused for several .Iours. His family
was summoned and he was finally re-
moved to his home out on Long Island,
where he Is now staying.
At one time DR.. w, Gilman Thomp-
son. who was summoned to attend him,
feared that he would not rally. The
tion. which was given by DIR. N. Stadt
Muller. ~ said to have been excessive.
Mr.. white was able to come to town
on Monday, but President Trimbie told
him to go home and recuperate for q
week before returning to business. Al
no blame was attached either to the
physician giving the prescription or to
the druggist, and its effect was due tc
the peculiar susceptibility OF the patient
to the poisons contained In the dose.
President Trimble said tina, Mr.. White
took only the regular dose prescribed
fifteen drops OF the liquid, and that its
effect was almost instantaneous.

ThS Chain Latter.


A certain party In Long Island appeals for
money to build a new church. The appeal Ia sent
to some Christian lady or gentleman connected
with the Christian Endeavor Society or the Order
of Kings Daughters. 1t suggests the following
plan. called the chain letter: The person receiv-
Ing the appeal sends 10 cents. and In addition
promises to write to three friends inviting each
OF them to send 10 cents for this good
object. and each one also promising to
write to three other friends with the same
request. The writer from Long Island said
that the fcrty-third letter in the chain
would bring the sum needed. The amount
asked for is so small that many have complied
without stopping to think or figure up the enor-
nous sum which this method would bring in.
The hrst party sends 10 cents; then through his
or her writing three parties send 10 cents each.
and that has to be multiplied by three for each
party In the letter chain. A lady friend Of my
own who received this appealing letter took the
trouble to figure II up Just as far az fourteen,
which when added up gave the sum Of $3.50, o5s. 10.
and were this multiplying and adding kept on TIL
the forty third letter In the chain were reached
1t would amount to many millions OF dollars.

POachsd E00s.

Strictly fresh eggs only are fit to
poach. The beauty Of a poached egg
is for the yolk to be seen blushing
through the white. which should be just
sufiently hardened to form a veil for
the yolk. Have some fresh boiling water
In a stewpan. break the egg into a
saucer, remove the pan from the FIRE
and gently slip the egg into 1t. Now
break another. and 30 on until the
bottom of the pan is covered. Now put
It over a moderate fire. and as soon as
the water boils the Eggs are ready;
take then up with a slice and neatly
round of the ragged edges of the
whites. Serve on buttered toast.

II is said that the three frst named
candidates will apply to the courts to
compel the Police Commissioners Ia
recognize their afidavits OF nomination.
It Is not a wise policy to deal unjustly
and Illegally with independent candi-
dates. 1t only increases their strength
with the people by making them mar
tyrs and by giving evidence that the
regular organization for which the Po-
lice Board acts fears their candidacy.
Better allow three or four Assembly
districts to 20 to Independent Demo-
Gratis than to attempt an arbitrary and
arrogant act. which. after all. may be
set aside by the courts.
II Is to be regretted that the Tam
many Police Commissioners do not taxi
a broader and more liberal view Of their
duty and policy.
