SOUND DOCTRINE.

President Cleveland never writes let
ter without it containing good common
sense. In writing to the National Asso-
citation of Democratic clubs he says
anent the dilatory tactics pursued in the
passage of the tariff reform measure:
"All who are charged on behalf of the
Democratic party with the redemption of
these pledges should now be impressively
reminded that, as we won our way to VIC
tory under the banner of tariff reform, SO
our insistence upon that principle is the
condition of our retention of the peoples
trust, and that fealty to party organiza-
ton demands the subordination of in
dvidual advantages and wishes and the
putting aside of petty and ignoble
jealousies and chickering's when party
principles and party integrity and party
existence are at stake"
Even more emphatic is Mr.. Cleveland's
concluding paragraph: democrats should
labor increasingly and earnestly to save
our party in this it's time of power and
responsibility from the degradation and
disgrace of failure to redeem the pledges
upon which our fellow-countrymen in.
trusted us with the control of their gov
eminent"
This is sound Democratic doctrine and
should be taken to heart by every Demo.
cratic member of congress.

Gov. LEwELLING, the Populist governor
of Kansas, seems to have sure thing as
regards a denomination. The country
will await anxiously the opinion of Mary
Ellen Lease upon this matter. Although
Mary and Lewelling made up, it does not
appear that all their differences have beer
healed. Perhaps, however, the people Of
Kansas have by this time repented of theil
folly in giving the control of their state
to the Populists, and will at the next
election redeem themselves by placing the
Democrats In power.

DISPATCH said in reference to the
compromise tariff bill that all the con-
servatives, with the exception Of Senator
Hill, have been fully consulted in regard
to the new bill. This would seem to indi-
cate that Hill has only himself to thank for
this condition of affairs. His bitter and
uncalled for attacks upon the president
instead of pleasing served to disgust his
former followers and he stands now al
most alone

OPINIONS or AMERICAN GIRLS.
Editor stead Found Them Moro Prudish
Than Their English Sisters.

"What do you think Of American
girls?" was the question propounded to
Editor Stead by a writer for the London
Sketch. Mr.. Stead, who had just reached
home from this city, replied:
Perhaps what struck me most in re-
gard to American women generally was
the way In hich Americans treat their
~womenkind. We have all heard of the
great place held by women in the United
States and Of the extraordinary cour-
tesy shown to them by all and sundry.
Now, il is quite true that they are out
wardly more respectful and polite, but
they carry this to the length Of never
contradicting them. When I am talS-
ing to a woman | treat her exactly as l
should do a man. / think 1t more re-
spectful, and, in fact. right. from every
! point Of view"
"Does the American girl enjoy a far
greater degree of liberty than the Eng
fish prototype?"
Il do not think SO. Take any work.
ing girl. / should say that she was
quite as sure of good treatment and re-
spect when walking in a London street
or riding in a London omnibus as on
the New York pavement or riding in
New York park. OF course, my eXpe-
riences lay almost entirely in Chicago.
There a group of women are dong a

Jane Adams and Miss Ada Sweet"

speech to the Woman's club, which was
ridiculously misrepresented. was en-
tirely approved by all the best people,
both men and women, in the city. All
the nonsense about my being threat
ened, ETC., was sheer invention"
"Do you find the Americans moro
prudish than the Euglish?"
yes; although | did not find any
pianos with frills round their legs, l did
hear a story of a girl who, being left a
legacy. always referred to II as a linn
bacy,' for American girls, like Spanish
queens, are not supposed to have any
legs"
And had you ever an opportunity Of
addressing a meeting Of American
girls?"
"Yes. and on one occasion i adopted
the English plan of saying what l really
thought. l was asked TO meet a num-
Der of very charming and highly cul-
tured girl graduates. They me TO dis
cuss the all-important subject Of cook
cry. My contribution may not have
been very palatable, but it was at least
honest. I pointed out that any French
la coming to the United States would
regard much of their cooking barbar-
Gus. English cooking was bad, but 1t
seemed 10 me that American cooking
was worse, although / am. of course, no
connoisseur, and pointed out that in
France you could call at any village inn
and in a few minutes have placed be-
fore you a meal which would be from

mind on this matter than to carefully

He Was an Unpleasant Person to Meet ~
the Rush Hour.

A stout and determined looking man
with white chin whiskers, gray hair
brushed severely back from his fore
head. and gold spectacles on his promi-
mem nose entered a restaurant in l4th
street at the rush" hour aud strobe rap
idly to one of the tables AT which there
was a vacant seat, says the New York
Tribune. He hung a stout cane on the
table and was divesting himself of his
~oyercoat when he happened to notice
the waiter was about leaving the table
| with orders for the other men.
Hold on a minute. young Teller. and
take my order, too" he shouted. Bring
me some hash, with poached aigs on 1t
and n couple of sinkers and some coffee
in a hurry!"
Then he finished taking off his over
coat and tried to hang it on what he
probably thought was a peg of the hat
rack. but he hit on the end of his cane
instead and the coat Topped down on
the floor, while the cane, after knock
ing several hats of the rack. fell on the
head of a man near the wall and then
bounded on the table with force enough
to break several dishes and scatter cof-
fee and gravy about promiscuously.
The men at the table picked up their
hats and began to say unpleasant
things. but they were quickly awed to
silence by the stout man. who declared
with a foghorn voice:
sits an Internal outrage for n man to
keep such n rack "a that in his place. If
| was running this house I'd see that
there'd be decent arrangements for
folks who p~atronized it,"
Then he slammed his cane back on
the rack, hung his overcoat on a peg
and sat down to glare at the waiter who
cleared away the broken dishes and
wiped up the spilled coffee anu gravy
with fresh napkins. Two minutes after
| the waiter had left the table the stout
nan began TO grumble.
Il guess" he said, that he has gone
downtown TO buy the meat to make
that hash with. He must have been
born late in the day. said / vas in a
hurry and now l suppose he will take
all day. II don't get what l ordered
right away I'm going to leave"
Then the waiter came with the hash,
sinkers and coffee and the stout man
made them disappear in a way that
showed he was q hustler" When his
| jaws had ceased to work he yelled for
his check and made a grab at his over
coat and cane. There was another
shower Of hats from the rack, but the
man in q hurry did not stop to pick
them up. He evidently was too angry
to say more. The other men did not
try to detain him, but one Of them said:
That man must have been born be-
fore daylight"
There were some expressions of as
sent to the remark and then another
man bounded 1t of with the declaration:
And he is trying the best he knows
how to make other men wish he never

The villain Fooled Again.

1--we seen a good many funny snaps
in the way of plays and ~play-actors in
my time" said the advance agent, but
one ! struck out in Milwaukee the other
day was by far the best of anything

the museums there, says the Buffalo
Express.
The museum has a stock company in
its theater and its great speciality is bor-
der drama. Every week they give a
new drama of the wild and woolly west.
This play that | saw was a blood
curdler of that character, and at the
time | arrived at the theater the stage
was pitch dark and two men were fight
ing a duel. l could hear the knives
clash together and hear the men stum-
bic around the stage; but / could but

Ancestor OF Hoofed Animals.

IN the rooms n Prof. F.. ID. Cope Of
Philadelphia the person fortunate
enough 10 gain admission may see the
creature which all naturalists. says the
st. Louis Republic, are unanimous in
p~ronouncing the first representative Of
the hoOfed-animal species. The animal
is not alive, neither is it entire so far as
flesh and blood are concerned. but to
the paleontologist, who cares only for
the fossiled bones, the specimen is per-
feet. 1t is not larger than a yearling
calf, and not nearly so tall, and was
found in the Wind river country in
Wyoming. Prof. Cope named it Phen-
acodus primevus when il was first dis
covered, giving it as his opinion that it
was akin to q specimen which was found
several years ago in France (the paleo-
therium), and which gave Culver and
the other naturalists so much trouble to
classify. AT the time of the discovery
of the French specimen the savants OF
Europe decided that ii was the ancestor
Of ~hoofed critters" but the Wind river
fossil, which is easily distinguished as
being the type of the same, is believed
to be much more ancient. Cope's curl
| osity was found in rocks belonging to
the eocene period, and the time when 10

placed as far back as 500, 600 yearsi
