Tackled the Wrong Man.

Isn't this my old friend, Gabriel Comstock,

semblance is so extraordinary that thought
L could not be mistaken"
That's all right. There's no harm DONE -
said the stranger passing on.
a Few minutes later he was accosted by an
other smiling young man who met him at a
street corner and stopped in great apparent
establishment
Why, how are you. Tom' Bless me. who

corner. But it's all right. Mr.. Reinhardt
Meantime the stranger pursued his way
leisurely down the street and five minutes
later he was confronted by third young man

Repeal. Then a CLOSURE Rule.

Itlooks now as if straight democracy
and sound money would win in
the Senate, though that august body
has proved itself so tickle during
/ the past few weeks that it is not
safe to count upon repeal as a certainty
until an Affirmative vote shall have been
reached and recorded. The announce
ment made by Senators Voorhees,, Aid
I rich, Harris and Dubois. under ordinary
circumstances, would carry with it con-
viction that the end was in sight. But
who can say what the pOpulists are going
to do7 And lacking a closure rule in the
Senate. the populists can do as they
please.
1t is to be hoped, however, that the end
unconditional repeal-will be speedily
reached and the country Afforded the
relief it so badly needs.
And, if repeal shall come, the next duty
of the Senate, before il takes up another
measure, win be to provide for closure
after legitimate debate has been exhausted
upon any subject.
Let US see what has been the effect of
the want OF a closure rule during the
p
repetition of the evil in subsequent events.
This is the thirteenth week of the extra
session. The first two weeks Of the
session were expended to good purpose;
the succeeding eleven weeks were wasted.
This is presuming that the end of the
silver fight has been reached, by the grace
of the opposition, and that no more time
will be wasted.
During the eleven weeks of the silver
fight the senators marched up the hill and
marched down again. They tried legiti-
mate debate, they tried TO tire each other
out, they tried to compromise the matter,
and they tried filibustering. And filibus-
tering was the only thing successful.
The majority were against the tilibus-
terers; but the majority, because of the
rules, We're impotent. 1t is true that I'M
cOmmon-buJ, under the circumstances,
warranted measures might have been
taken to bring matters to a focus. The
majority might have adopted heroic treat
ment for the virulent disease instead of
using squills. 9ut the majority were
acting under the rules, and were power
less.
Now these old fossils of rules ought to
go, and stand not upon the order of their
going. The democrats have promised
other reforms, which can not be brought
about so long as the Senate works upon
its present system.
Meanwhile, inasmuch as the silver pur-
chase law has not yet been repealed, and
there is no knowing what a'dav may bring
forth, it is probably as well to remind
democrats of this fact: At the beginning
Of this fight money was not party ques-
ton Democrats and republicans were
agreed that the country must have money,
one dollar of which was as good as every
other dollar, and every dollar of which
should be worth 100 cents in every country
in the world, as well as our own. But it
has become a party question, in a
sense. Should the silver purchase repeal
bill be defeated the democratic party
would be held responsible for it, and for
the succeeding panic. For it is almost a
moral certainty that a panic would fol-
low the failure of the bill.

We do Not Control the Earth.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Gnd.,

Reports from Bolivia say that the decline
in the price of silver has administered "a
crushing blow to that republic, because
silver is by far the ost important export of
the country The fan in the price OF silver
has caused corresponding loss in exchange
Silver is falling in price because the demand
forlt grows less in proportion to the supply,
in conSOnance with the laws of trade the
world over The silverites would have US
enact free coinage Of the white metal, with
the result that our gold would be absorbed
from abroad, and business would be read
lusetd on basis of silver recommendation. The

FROM the New Y ork tribune (Rep).
The democratic senators who have been
voting all their lives for every financial
heresy that dishonesty or stupidity could de-
wise, and who suddenly became converts to
presidential patronage to brother in-law
logic, have been lying all these weeks and
schemtng to 'bunco' the people. Well, you

The Amateur Gardener.
From the somerville Journal.

From the Somerville Journal.
The man who, in the early spring,
Laid out a garden plot
May not have raised paying crop,
But, Oh he knows lot
Next year. when spring comes, you will see
Him sitting on the fence,
And telling others doleful tales
OF his experience.
Until man has tried il once,
He never gets to know
How hard it is to hoe and spade,
And how fast weeds can grow;
How hot the summer sun can shine
How dry some weeks can be,
And how the Lord has made bug
For every plant and tree.
But he who in the early spring
Laid out a garden plot
Has lea med all this. and more by now.
And next year he will not
Go into gardening very deep,
Not If he knows himself,
And all his tools all summer long,
win lie upon the shelf.

Among the most Incorporate people of
Stromsburgh, Neb., are the members of the
Womans Christian temperance Union
Not that they drink liquor; their lack of
self-restraint does not lie in that direc-
ton. But they undertake to inculcate
correct morals with clubs. Instead of
bringing to bear upon the weaker of their
sex the force of persuasive eloquence and
correct example, they bring to bear upon
them the force of their good right arms
Hickory switches and leather straps they
regard as better teachers of temperance
in all things than moral suasion. In short,
the Stromsburgh w. G. T. u, it would APP
pear, is little more than band of women
whitecaps.
In the town of Stromsburgh there were
half a dozen or so young ladies whose
department did not suit the members of
the W. c. r. U. The girls We're too popu-
lar with the beaux to suit the good peo-
pies ideas of propriety. So twelve men,
bers of the w G. 7. U. sent the girls
decoy letters, got them into an ambush at
the edge of the settlement, fell upon them
with sticks and switches and flogged them
numerically. 1t should be mentioned,
also, that these extraordinary tenn
perance workers were masked and hooded
in the true whitecap fashion. One
of the victims, however tore off the
masks of two of the temperance people, so
that their identity. and subsequently the
identity of the whole party, was dis
| covered. The foggers have been indicted.
! Whether or not they will be punished is
another thing.
One deplorable result of this episo6 G is
the fact that it win reflect upon the or
ganization to which the women belong.
1t should not be so, but when the matter
comes to be ventilated in open court and
in the newspapers, the union will pretty
surely be brought into it in an unpleas-
ant manner.

Beating the Australian Ballot.

The Australian ballot system offers
probably fewer chances for manipulation
than any ballot system yet devised. I'M
less it be the system of voting with an
automatic machine recently tried in New
York state. Yet the Australian system
is notproof against the devices of the
sleight-of-hand ballot thief in the mana
gers chair, as has been found by the dem
ocrats of Philadelphia.
At the municipal election in that city last
spring a number of democratic ballots
spoiled, in peculiar manner, were found
as the ballots were taken out of the boxes
The law says spoiled ballots must be
thrown out, so out they went, and no sat
isfactory explanation of how they were
spoiled could be arrived at. Recently,
however, the democratic city committee
made a discovery that seems to explain
the mystery.
The Australian ballots, it will be borne
in mind, contain the names of all the
candidates, and the voter makes a cross
mark in blank square on the margin of
the ballot, opposite the name of the candi-
date he wishes to vote for. 1t has been
learned that some of the republican
leaders in Philadelphia had provided
themselves with trick rings, to be worn
by the republican election managers at
the next election. With these rings the
manager can, with little sleight-of-hand
spoil the democratic ballot or change il
into a vote for their own candidate
The ring has for a seal a stamp in the
form of a cross, similar to the stamp used
for marking the ballots. BY turning the
seal or stamp on the inside of the hand
and keeping pad moistened with red OF
black ink in a pocket, the election of
| ficer can, by simply placing his hand on
the ballot, after it has been opened foi
counting, make cross mark wherever
he pleases on the face of the ticket"
One of these rings has been captured
and the secret is out, hence the scheme
will be spoiled But the incident illus
trdtes how hard it is to keep a rasca
from stealing once he sets his head t.

The people of the south will shed few
tears because of the death of Hugh L.
Bond, which occurred at Baltimore YES
terday, as told in our dispatches this
morning To the south Judge Bond was a
political prosecutor, rather than a Judge
of high court, at the time when the
south was struggling to win its freedom
from the rule and sway of thieves and
thugs. For a democrat to be brought be-
fore Judge Bonds court as a political
prisoner in those days was equivalent TO
his being sent to the penitentiary: for
that was surely his fate as the people of
the two Carolinas especially know to their
sorrow. His conduct Of the famous Ku-
kluX trials IS part Of the history of
the reconstruction period. the horrors Of
which, happily, came 20 an end in 1876.
