Personal Politics.

At a recent reception held by the
prince Of Wales Mr.. Gladstone was
loudly Kissed by the Tories present.
The incident, a gross departure from
the respect due to a host and to a fel.
low guest, illustrates the bitterness Of
the personal animosities created by En-.

encountered in private life the virulent
hostility Of his political opponents.

they inquired if he would show them

Returning to Consciousness Her First
Thought Was of Her Husband.
The changing bell of the hospital
ambulance had warned the pedes-
trians and the street was clear when
the vehicle ratt'ed up to the door of
the big double decker New York tene-
ment
'Mugsey's done it this time for fair,
doctor!" shouted one of the crowd
that had gathered on the sidewalk as
the young ambulance surgeon disap-
peared in the doorway.
Up two flights aud at the back the
doctor found a white-faced old woman
who told him in awed whispers that
she was afraid her son had killed his
wife.
'He's a good boy when he's sober,
beat her." pleaded the old mother, as
the doctor hurried into the room at
the back.
There on a cot under the window
lay the uncopscious form of young
woman, who would have been rather
pretty but for the bruises that her hus-
bands fists had left on her pale face.
A quick examination showed that she
was only stun aed, and the restorative
which the doctor gave her had almost
immediate effect.
"Where's Mugsey, mam?' she asked
of the old woman almost as soon as
she opened her eyes.
"Here 1 am," answered voice from
the fre-escape, and "Mugsey" clam
bered in the window as the disgusted
doctor hurried out of the door.

An Old Venetian Carnival.

The carnival tn n lasted six months,
and masking was unive sal habit It
has been said that in the beginning
the mask was token of fraternal con-
descension on the part of the rich and
noble toward their interiors. It leveled
all ranks like the grave, though in a
more agreeable way. But this utop-
ian justification of it soon passed out
of date. It became instead the very
best possible vehicle for intrigue and
social corruption. That in effect was
what it was. During carnival time no
one thought of going out of doors ex-
cept in disguise. The maid sent on an
errand must first don her mask-of
which no doubt, her lover, or lovers,
had the key. The mother with child
in her arms, masked both herself and
the child. -s s...., ~..

RAIDED THEIR OWN MARKET.

Ironwood. (Mich) News-Record:
Workinpmen who voted for a change
last fall will not find much encourage
ment in the daily reports of closed
mills and factories and the mastering
out of hundreds Of operatives, says the
Detroit Journal. While this is the
change they actually voted for, it pro-
bably isn't the change they thought
they were voting for. 1t is likely that
most of them didn't give the matter
much serious thought anyway. They
are doing that now. Then it was sim
ply theory confronting them, now
it is the condition. The difference is
as plain as pike-staff.
1t is to be hoped for their own sakes
and the general welfare of the country
that the workingmen who voted for a
change last fall are now taking front
view of the situation with an eye sim
gle as to what their duty as citizens
will be in future They certainly vot-
ed against themselves last fall when
they voted for Grover Cleveland and
his plan for the destruction of home
industries. All they had to sell was
labor, and they deliberately threw the
weight Of their influence against the
labor market. They voted to reduce
not only the price Of, but the demand
for, the only thing they have to sell.
Charmed by free trade sophistries,
they evidently thought a change
would bring them reduced prices fo,
everything they have to buy and at
the same time hold up and improve
the market for what they have to sell.
Indeed, there were manv Democratic
organs and orators that tried to make
them believe such would be the result
Of "a change"
There is nothing like actual exper-
fence to prove the value or worthless
ness Of advice, or the truth or falsity
of a theory. There is many an idle
workingman who voted against protec-
ton, whose hindsight today is so much
clearer than was his foresig ght last fall
that, were the opportunity now offered,
he would vote the other ticket if he
had to fight his way through to the
polls. He is just beginning to get in
terested in this issue of home labor vs..
foreign labor.

It is not always safe to be too conf
dent in your asser rtions, even to an ig-
norant man, for he may get the better
of you in an argument. The truth
was well illustrated in a story told at
a recent conference in England on
technical education in villages. One
speaker, referring to the prevalent ig-
norance about common things, said
that he once saw laborer digging
fints in the chalk, and asked him if he
thought they grew.
''No," was the reply. IL don't think
about it; knows they do"

The light In congress on the silver
question promises to be long and Sc
we're, with the outcome in grave doubt
Aside from the question Of the value
of silver. is the fact that the volume
of currency is too limited. The gov
ernment should, without delay, issue
at least one billion Of treasury notes,
payable in gold or silver, and legal
tender for all public as we'll as private
debts-such as taxes, duties on i'm
ports, &c. This would not only re-
lieve the present stringency by put
ting a much needed volume of money
in circulation, but would speedily coax
from its hiding places the boards now
laid away. It ought to be apparent
to every man that our circulation is
too limited. Money is but repre-
sentative of values and has a value
only as it has purchasing power. Now,
government has taken upon itself
aud rightly-the function of issuing
all money necessary to transact the
business of the country. To be sure,
this power has been delegated, in a
sense, t" the national banks, but as
their currency is secured by govern
ment bonds, it amounts to the same
thing. But we are at this moment con.
fronted by state Of affairs in which
there is not enough, nor half enough
currency in sight to transact ordinary
business. Men have property of all
kinds, real estate, bonds, stocks, mort
cages, personal property, and every
thing else of real value, but can neith-
er buy nor sell--and why? Because
! government has failed to perform it's
duty in placing at our disposal rep
resentative of our property. In other
words, because there is not enough
money to carry on business. It is said
that twenty-three dollars per capita of
population-the amount of currency
in this country-is plenty, but it must
be borne in mind that there is never
more than half that amount in actual
circulation, while at the present time,
there is probably not one.fourth of it
to be had. When we take into con-
sideration the twenty per cent of their
capital which banks are required to
keep on hand, and that thirty percent
is probably nearer the actual figures,
the millions boarded away in small
amounts at all times, the amounts kept
on hand by individuals who always
like to carry around "a few dollars"
and which aggregate . large sum, the
millions which are always in transit
from one part Of the country to anotL-
er and consequently useless, we see
that five dollars per capita is probably
a liberal estimate Of the actual circu-
lation. We stand upon this platform:
that nominal circulation of one hun
dred dollars per capita is not too much.
The cry of "honest money" sent up
by Cleveland and his Wall St. coadjut-
ors looks to us like an attempt to blind
the people to the real trouble. And
the president is aided and abetted by
leading men Of both parties.
