After his return from his first lectur-
ing tour in this country, the late Mat
thew Arnold visited old Mrs. Proctor,
the widow of the poet, Barry Corn
wall, and mother of Adelaide Proctor.
Mrs. Proctor, who was then 80 years
old, in giving Mr.. Arnold a cup of tea
asked him:
Sand what did they say about you in
American"
"Well," replied the literary autocrat,
"they said 1 was conceited, ard they add
ed that my clothes did not fit me-"
"Well, now," retorted the old lady,
81 think they were mistaken about the
clothes."- York Mail and Express.

So LONG has the depressed condition
of business existed that any improve
ment in financial matters is eagerly
sought after. The Pittsburgh Dispatch
thinks in detects unmistakable signs of
an upward tendency. 1t says:
"At the same time that bank reports
are showing the transition from strin-
gency in the money market to actual
plethora railroad earnigns, very fair
index of the actual movements of COM
merce, reveal steady improvement.
The reports of decreased earnings which
were so leading a feature of the de-
preston throughout the summer have
practically disappeared in the earnings
of the third week of October. The
passenger traffic to and from Chicago
was doubtless the first influence to offset
the decrease in business, but freight, as
well as passenger earnings, show the in
crease for October, which permits us to
infer that things have reached hardpan
and that the upward tendency is begin
ming to manifest itself.
"In considering the particulars in
which business aspects are improved, we
should not be understood as claiming
that everything is lovely or heralding in
a boom. If ia too manifest for ignoring
that there is still a slow trade move
ment, and that all business will be con-
Quoted on the hand-to- mouth policy
until the exact nature of the coming
tariff revision is made clear. But, when
the scattering indicie of the turu of the
tide manifest themfelves, it is well to
understand their significance. The
abundance of money, the restoration of
business confidence, and the gain in
railroad earnings point to the fact
that we are down to hardpan. The weak
elements of business have been elimi-
mated. Some, though not all, of the
water In stocks has been squeezed out.
Business is ready fora general improve
ment so soon as Congress removes the
fear of legislative interference with
business"

An Apt Reply.

A country doctor in the north Of Ire
land was driving down a narrow LIANT
on the way to visit patient, when he
espied an old woman in the middle OF
the road picking up some pieces of turf
which had evidently fallen from some
passing cart. Pulling his horse up to
prevent running over her, he said, rather
sharply:
"Women and donkeys are always in
the way"
"Shure, sir" said the indignant Irish
woman, as she stepped to one side, "I'm
glad you've the manners to put yourself
last"

A Crop That Needs determination

A Crop That Needs determination.
New York Tribune.
The example of Mayor Harrison's
murderer has been fruitful. A crop of
blood thirsty cranks has sprung up, and
is sure to propagate its kind indefinitely
unless the process of determination is
promptly begun. Cranks they are called
for the sake of convenience, and because
crisp word finds ready circulation and
broadens its meaning with use; but it is
unfortunate that the designation tends
to obscure the nature of the beast
There is not much advantage in shallow
discussion of the origin of this breed.
If the developing force inheres in our
institutions, policies and modes of life,
there is reason enough for searching it
out and attempting to eradicate it; but
in the mean time the duty of attending
sternly to its manifestations is impera-
tive.
1t is the business of organized society
to free itself from the menace of these
malignant criminals as fast as they put
their proclivities in evidence; it is not
called upon to make itself the victim of
its own compassion. Vipers obey their
natural instincts, but sensible persons do
not warm them in their bosoms on that
account. The man who killed Mayor
Harrison knew enough to find the means
of gratifying his strongest desire, and
he knows enough to be entitled to a
quick exit from the world. The man
who tried his best to kill half dozen
persons in this city on Monday has
already earned imprisonment for life at
the very least. And all the rest of their
tribe, whose capabilities are still await
ing the final impulse, have intelligence
enough to be made lesson of, the
moment they are detected, for the ben.
eft of those who are yet willing to learn

THE final vote on repeal of the Sher-
man purchase clause in the Senate
demonstrates how hopelessly the Demo
cratic party is divided on the money
question. Had every Democrat been
uninfiuenced by the patronage lever OF
the Chief Executive there would un-
doubtedly been a greater proportion OF
Democratic votes against repeal than
the poll of the vote shows. Every means
and device which could be invented by
Mr.. Cleveland and his supporters were
brought to bear to make votes for re-
peal, yet with all that pressure applied
it took eighty-five days to get twenty
Democratic Senators out of thirty y-nine
to vote for repeal. This is all the more
remarkable, too, when the last National
Democratic platform, upon which all
Democrats were supposed to stand, de-
clared the Sherman law a ''cowardly
makeshift" and pledged its immediate
repeal. The Democratic party was
pledged to repeal, but they would have
made poor speed at it had not the Re-
publicans magnanimously helped them
out. Twenty three Republican Senators
vote for repeal and ten against it. Thus.
more Republicans, although that party
is in the minority, than Democrats voted
to sustain the President. 1t was a
victory for the President, but it must
have been bitter one in that he had to
get it at the hands of his political oppo-
nents. Then at the same time he was
confronted by the declarations of almost
a majority of the Representatives of his
party In Congress that repeal meant
death to the Democracy. By repeal the
Democracy of the South and West is
estranged from the Democracy of the
East, and with no hope, as far as can be
discerned at this time, of ever uniting
on a common ground of finance.

THERE has been a good bit of dis
cussion in regard to the time the 18th
century will end and the Goth begins.
Many persons, ordinarily shrewd, will
contend that the 18th century ends with
the year 1899, but this is erroneous. A
century is one hundred years, and the
18th century will not be completed until
the end of the year 1900. The both
century begins on January l, 1901. This
ought to be clear to everyone, but there
has been confusion over the matter and
probably the same question will be dis
cussed hundred years hence.

Sheep Raising-Past and Future.

The American Farmer.
Our fathers and grandfathers were
successful sheep raisers in their own
way, under their own conditions, and
for their own purposes. The situation
is altogether changed-the conditions of
agriculture, the wants of the people. the
wants of the manufacturer. The COM
mereial relations are not as they were.
The farm economies, the transportation
facilities, the opening up of new regions,
the competition of other countries in the
same products are wholly unlike the
past, and require that the sheep industry
should be readjusted to these new lines
of agriculture, trade and practice. The
relations of mutton to sheep raising are
well understood, unquestioned, now, and
successful, progressive farmers are shap-
ing their methods accordingly. With
these views, there is increased interest in
breeds which may best serve the wants
of the farmers; there is more interest in
intelligent and practical management of
f1ocks suited to the new sheep husbandry
that has come to stay. The people have
passed the primitive and rude systems
that formerly prevailed and were sue
cessful, and are looking ahead for that
which suits the times and the wants
under the new and coming era. There
has been steady turning away from
the standards and teachings of former
leaders. There is marked independ-
ence, the result of confidence in their
own abilities, to work out the new line,
on common sense principles. This grow
| ing indifference to the strongholds OF
former days is sometimes misunderstood.
The above conclusions are based on the
evidences of purpose among intelligent
farmers to remain steadfast to sheep
raising, and the lack of adherence to the
former teachings and practices.
There are those who fear that the
prosperity and permanence of sheep hus-
bandry in this country is over. So it is
if the practices of quarter of century
ago must be followed. The industry is
adjusting itself on new lines to the
changed conditions, and will be pros
porous again.
When Mr.. Howells was editor Of a Ger.
tain magazine, as the story goes, he one
day received story from Miss Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps which he did not care to
publish. Why? Well. it was called
"The Oysterman" and it dealt with al
sorts of queer people who did inelegaDt
things and were not given to good En-
lish. As Miss Phelps had been In the
habit Of having her work accepted, Mr.
Howells didn't at first know just what
to do, but he finally wrote:
"You know, Miss Phelps, this is not a
pleasant story"
Some months later, "The Oysterman'
made its appearance iu another maya
zine, but its author had proited by such
distinguished criticism and its title now
was: "Not a Pleasant Story" New

whv Do Girls KISS Each otherp

New York Press.
A perplexed masculine soul wants to
know why young women when they
meet in the presence of young men take
such evident delight in kissing each
other. This performance our correspond
ent regards as clear waste of.osculatory
ammunition; and hedeclares that he be-
lieves that the thing is done solely with a
view 10 its effect on the young men who
witness it.
We are inclined to think that our CORE
spondent is too precipitate in forming
his conclusions. No doubt it is some
times tantalizing to see two pretty girls
greeting each other in femininely rap
turous fashion, casting meanwhile a
bright sidelong glance at their envious
escorts, who in vain try to preserve an
air of unconcern during the proceeding.
But may not the innocent exuberance
of their demeanor be simply an outlet
for the affection which every properly
trained girl rightly refuses to lavish
upon person of the opposite sex until
/ he has proven that he deserves it? And
is it not possible that the girls in ques-
| tion would salute each other just as
warmly if there were no male observers
present?
1t is true that the latter hypothesis is
from its very nature incapable of proof.
But in dealing with subject of such i'm
portance our correspondent will, we are
sure, agree with US that hasty judgment
based on outward appearances should
be avoided, and that the weighty prob
lem which he propounds should receive
the careful consideration which it merits
We advise him not to judge the fairer
sex too harshly.
