Over Fifteen Thousand Dol

HOW THEY DO IT IN new YORK CITY
A Political Campaign IN the MetrOp-
Oils Harvest tor Sign Painters.
A Few of the Political Organi-
cations That Believed in Ad-
vertising the Candidates.

During the two weeks preceding an
election in New York city those sign
painters who make speciality Of polit.
ioal transparencies have something of a
harvest. There are only few Of them,
and they divide about $15, 900 paid for
printing on canvas the names Of the
candidates and aff1xing the canvas to
plain wooden frame which serves as
Grewood after the election. The average
cost Of tho campaign transparency
stretched in front Of party headquar-
ters is $40. There were about 1000
such transparencies in New York city
this year, averaging about IS in each
assembly district.
Tammany had headquarters in ev-
cry assembly district. The Republicans
had two headquarters in every assembly
district-those OF the regulars and the
Milhollandites. Then there were the
State Democracy, the ANTI -Tammany
Democracy, the Independent county or
ganization, the Good Government clubs,
the German Reform union, the New
York or Voorhis Democracy and the
Socialists, Populists and Prohibition
lists. Next came the business men g as
sooiations the young mems clubs, the
social clubs which made political NOM
nations, and such independent organi-
cations as the Italian American Repub-
licans, the Hungarian Democrats and
the Swedish antiTammanyites. Each
congress candidate usually had sep
arate headquarters, and some Of the as
sembly and aldermanic candidates also
opened rooms Of their own.
The most elaborate Of the campaign
transparencies was, Of course, to be
found in front Of Tammany hall. This
year two changes Of candidates-judge
Of the court Of appeals and mayor-had
been made upon it, which is unusual
in one election. After the battle Of the
ballots was over the canvas on the trans
parencies was torn to shreds, and the
wooden framework was split up. There
was nothing left to show for the expend-
iture Of about $15, 000.-New York Sun.

YEARS IN THE DARK
A Woman Spends 43 Years
in SeclusiOn.
A MILD CHARACTER OF INSANITY
An Indiana Woman's. Peculiar Hal
lucinatiOn-She Is Now Recover
ing After q Peculiar Experience
Covering Period Of Nearly
Half Century of Time.

A most remarkable case has been de-
veloped near the village Of Winthrop,
in Warron county, Ind. Forty three
years ago Mrs Perry James became in
sane, her peculiarly being an asorsion
TO company and desire to be perfectly
alone She was not dangerous, but her
wish to become seclusive was SO great
that sho was provided with dark room
at her home, where she has lived her
NIT life for 43 years, being cared for by
her husband until he died four years
ago and later by her two daughters.
Recently she began to show the re-
turn Of reason and made inquiry con-
cerning relatives and neighbors whom
she knew before her mind became af-
fected. Many Of them had moved to
other parts, some had died, but there
were three or four who still remained,
and when she expressed desire to see
them they were brought into her pres
ence. She conversed nationally on COM
mon subjects and evinced a desire to
once more emerge into the world and
become one of its actors. Her aversion
to people has disappeared, her peculiari-
ties are dissolving, and upon subjects
with which she is conversant she talks
with freedom and olearness. There are
indications that she will fully recover
her mental faculties if her life is spared
One Of the hallucinations that have
passed from her was that the air was
full Of balloons filled with men, all
coming toward her.-St. Louis Globe

French Politics.

The indications all point to an early
cabinet crisis in France. If it were not
for the fact that French politics are
governed by the laws Of paradox, it
would be a safe prophecy to say that
the Dupuy ministry would not last an
other fortnight. 1t is generally felt that
President Casimir- Perier would not be
at all disturbed BY the necessity of re-
organizing his board Of official advisers
There have been several such cases be-
fore. The enemies Of the president may
succeed in making his seat untenable.
Efforts to that end will be made before
many weeks, but many improbable
things must happen before they can suc-
oeed. London Standard.

It Aeitates India and England and wrings
q Growl From 'Labby."
The severity Of the sentence (resigna-
tion under threat of dismissaD against
Surgeon Major Smith, an officer in the
Indian service stationed at Madras, who
asked Mrs. Clegg, wife of another civil
service official, to give him kiss, is
making great sensation both in India
and England.
That kiss, o. rather the suggested
kiss, has almost caused revolt in Off
cial circles in India, has been q matter
Of serious consideration by the secretary
Of state in London and would be the
subject of a parliamentary inquiry if
the house of commons were in session.
Mr.. Labouchere has brought his heav-
lest guns to bear in behalf Of DR..
Smith. He indorses the suggestion which
some one, signing himself American
Citizen = makes in London neWspa-
per, appealing to all who have ever felt
tempted to commit the offense which
has brought such tribulation upon DR..
Smith to contribute a trife to a fund
for his benefit. Mr. Labouchere COM
mends the suggestion to every govern
ment official, every military and naval
officer, every judge and magistrate and
every other person in authority who
ever felt tempted to kiss lady not his
wife or sweetheart He adds:
II would not go SO far as to ask them
to put their names to the subscriptions,
but would suggest that they send their
mites anonymously to the Smith fund
as sort Of conscience money. Not only
would the fund thus attain handsome
proportions, but it would form unique
and permanent memorial of the extent
to which human nature prevails in man.
''The most unwise thing Dr. Smith
did, in my opinion, was to say that he
had been flirting Flirting can no more
be carried on by one person than one
person can play at lawn tennis In it's
nature it is game Of reciprocity, but
the use of the word was evidently an
error of expression, and as the doctor
himself explains when using the word
he only alluded to himself. Where firt-
ing ends and lovemaking begins Is a
question young lady can answer bet
ter than | can. Does it go beyond firt-
ing to ask to be allowed to kiss a lady?
If not, is kissing itself involved in firt-
ing? Ny knowledge on the ethics of
flirting and kissing is imperfect. but
should have thought that the latter is
seldom preceded by request to the lady
to allow it. This may, however, be the
custom in India. "-London Letter.

Mr.. George M. Watts, R. A., the en-
inent English artist, sends the follow
ing letter to the New York Herald ap-
ropos of the dispute between the Wash
ington authorities and the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art in regard to the possess
sion Of his painting, "Love and Life"
I'm regard to the picture I presumed
to present to the government Of the
United States it may not be out Of place
for me, in the first place. to point out
that the painting represents in the SIM
plest manner that naked humanity is
aided to ascend from the depths Of base
animalism by love, meaning sympathy,
generosity and aspiration, signifed by
the broad wings. The figures are purely
symbolical. having, l hope, no tinge Of
sensuality in the character of their
form.
MY idea was that the great Ameri-
can nation would in time gather togeth-
er splendid collection of works Of art,
which will represent the mind of the
English speaking races, but that await
ing this time my Offering should find
home in some such place as the Metro
politan museum Of New York, though
I may add that after some correspond
ence with the American embassy here
I accepted the arrangement that tenn
porary resting place should be found in
some public room or gallery Of the
White House.
II can't, however, presume to offer
any voice in the matter beyond saying
that the painting is essentially a gallery
picture and was never contemplated by
me as hanging in any dwelling house
whatever. /"

Flowers Dear In New York.

Violets cost only so cents bunch,
but the punches are very small. For 26
cents the Broadway florists make up lit
tie bunohes for the buttonhole of mems
coats, but they contain only one-third Of
the original bunch. When man makes
that kind of purchase, he is likely to
conclude that there is violet trust or
else that enough people are not engaged
in the cultivation Of violets. The best
ohrysanthemums sell on Broadway for
81 each. AS cultivators would grow
rich selling them at s cents each, some
one must be making good for the late
hard times. New York Correspondent.

SYRACUSE'S SAPPHO.
The Woman Who Wants to Be an Amorf-

The Woman Who Wants to Be an Amerf-
can Poet Laureate and President.
Syracuse has an aspirant for the posi-
tion Of poet laureate of America. But,
being a loyal member Of the Union, she
does not wish to be called by title as
suggestive Of the efPete monarchies as
''poet laureate" and has therefore de-
clared in favor Of national poetess. "
She is Mrs Sarah Ulrioht Kelley, and
she modestly describes herself as hymn
writer and prospective national poetess
of the United States, nominated by
very large majority Of editors
Mrs Kelley is remarkable woman.
She proposes not only to be national
poetess, but president as we'll. She in
tends to sing herself into glory, domin-
ion and power. AS poetess laureate of
these great United States it will be but
step to the presidential chair, for by
the act which congress must adopt her
salary will exceed that Of the chief JUS
tice Of the supreme bench and will be
inferior only to that Of the president
himself. Concerning this vital feature
Of her set plan, Mrs. Kelley said: eff I
We're national poet, should give all
my salary away. ! will leave the ques-
tion Of compensation to congress, but ]
want it fixed at $12, 900 year."
Mrs. Kelley has liberal notions as to
the treatment of men when she is presi-
dent. Her cabinet, she says, will not be
composed entirely Of men or women,
but there will be a fair and equitable
compromise. She thinks that Susan B.
Anthony's great mistake lies in her at
titude toward men.
An example Of Mrs. Kelley's poetry,
called Syracuse In a Rainy Day." has
some gems of thought. She says, refer
ring to a war claim which she has
against the government:

FEDERAL SUPREMACY.

The controversy over the right OF
the President to send troops to Chi.
cago would never have arisen had
it not been for the sympathy with
the strikers which was felt by the
State authorities in Illinois. The
authority OF the President was de-
rived from Section 5299 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States.
The section is as follows:
whenever insurrection, domestic
violence, unlawful combinations, or
conspiTacies in any State so obstructs
or hinderS the execution of the laws
thereof, and # tue United States, as
TO deprive any portion or class of the
people Of such State OF any of the
rights, privileges, or immunitieS. or
protection, named in the Constitution
and secured by the laws for the pro-
lection of such rights, privileges, or
immunities, and the constituted au-
thorities of such State are unable to
protect, or, from any cause, fail in or
refuse protection of the people in such
rights, such facts shall be deemed q
denial by such State of the equal pro-
lection of the laws to which they are
Untitled under the Constitution of the
United States and in all such cases,
or whenever any such insurrection,
violence, unlawful combination, or
conspiracy, opposes or obstructs the
laws of the United States, or the due
execution thereof, or impedes or OBJ
structs the due course of justice under
the same, it shall be lawful for the
President, and it shall be his duty, to
take such measures, by the employ
ment of the militia or the land and
naval forces of the United States, or
of either, or by other means, as he
NAV deem necessary, for the suppress
sion of such instruction, domestic
violence, or combination"
The contingency contemplated
IN this section had certainly hap

THE Washington correspondent
of the New York World has inter
viewed a large number Of the
members of the House on the sub
ject of the Tariff Bill. While most
of the men interviewed naturally
declare in favor of the bill as it
passed the House, the tone of their
remarks shows a disposition to
adopt such a compromise as can
pass both Houses. A prominent
Eastern journal draws from these
interviews the inference that the
sugar schedule will pass the House
in the form given to it by the Con-
ference Committee.

est in the passage of the measure
as any other class. The stream of
laborers which still flows in from
the Orient is not like Tennyson's
brook, it is not going to flow on for
ever. 1t is high time for the plant
ers to be thinking what they will
do when the human current runs
dry. They cannot get at this ques-
ton too soon, nor consider it too
carefully.

cause it was honeycombed with a
more or less active sympathy with
| the strikers. The United States
mails were obstructed and the
writs and orders Of the Federal
Courts could not be enforced.
There was certainly nothing in the
law to hinder the President from
setting the power of the general
government in motion, but on the
contrary, it was his duty so to do.
The old line of demarcation in
the United States used to run east
and west. There are indications
that this sectionalism is disappear
ing, in spite Of the fact that the
South is still politically ''solid'',
and is giving place to sharpening
anthithesis between the East and
the West. This fact is freshly IL
Illustrated by the contrasting
attitude of the press in the
two sections an toward the
great strike, and the violence
which resulted from it. This atti-
tude was one Of strong coEdemna-
ton in the East, Of active or dis
guised sympathy in the West.
No doubt the most distinctively
American life is in the West, and
not in the East. It is in the West
that the ideas Of social equality,
and the manners of demo
most widely prevail. The older
society Of the East has already
begun to suffer. Its eyes are
turned too much across the At
Iantic, too little upon the promise
and spirit Of America herself.
Nonetheless, in these days Of poll
teal unrest, discomfort and sup
pressed revolution, the conserve
tism which insists upon the main
tenance of law and order first, and |
reform afterwards, is invaluable.
1t rests upon an instinct which |
perceives that chaos and disorder,
the Impotence of legal restraint do
not furnish the conditions for true
reform. The structure in which |
society is housed may be leaky |
and uncomfortable, but it is better
than nothing and should not be
torn down until there is q better |
one TO move into.

THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1894.

THE rumor that the japanese in
Hawaii were being assessed So each
for the expenses of the war proba-
bly, owes its origin to the fact that
an effort is being made among
local residents to raise a fund Of
voluntary subscription for the Red
Cross Association. This is So
ciety which has for its object the
provision of hospitals, and the sup
ply of other needs connected with
the war.
