Tragedy and Comedy-A True Story.
1t was Sunday evening, about by the
clock, and the usual calm OF that one night
in the week brooded over the office, says the
New York Press. A stranger entered. Hest
tatlngly he thrust forth little pack OF grimy
cards written on with ink, and rapidly said:
"Gentlemen I'm a writer Of Jokes. I've got
some here want to sell. I'm desperately
hard up. It's horrible" The little man
stopped short.

The reporters sent him to to the night city

money was realized. The reporter who had
first talked to the stranger was assigned to
go up to the little mans home and do what
was pest with the money. AS If dazed, the
man in the flannel shirt followed him.
A short walk brought them to his home.
Strewn over the sidewalk lay the scant
household goods of the family Of two. The
reporter interviewed the landlady while the
little man sat down in one OF his own chairs
outside with blank look on his face.

An American woman named Ida Nell
son is in England engaged in a "cam-
paign of exposing lynchings and other
kindred horrors in the southern states. "
1t is believed she is identical with the
Chicago mulatto who has been engaged
in the same business in England, to her
pecuniary advantage, for some time. The
other day she gave the London Chronicle
such bloody shirt interview that the
ponderous old bore-a generic term for
English newspapers-was lead to observe:
ut is question whether the southern
states are fitted for self-government." It
makes very little, if any, difference to the
southern states what either the Chronicle
or England thinks Of their capacity for
f-government; they will always govern
the mselves, except in so far as that duty
devolyes upon the federal government
under the constitution And England
couldn't help it if she wanted to. Mean
while the people Of the southern states
will regard England and the Chronicle as
ignoramuses, in that they permit them
selves to be MIXED through an old conf
dence game worn threadbare by the Re-
publican party in this country.

The circuit court of the District of
Columbia has dismissed the petition of
Eugene B. Gaddis for a mandamus to
compel the Secretary of the Treasury to
show cause why he should not be restored
to his position as a clerk in the treasury
department. Judge Bradley holds that
the courts have no power to interfere in
the matter of removals in the executive
departments. This is the case by which
the republicans, through Gaddis, were
going to teach the administration lesson
in civil service reform.

Can't Be Laid on Foreigners.
From the New York Post HndN-

The Buffalo Courier calls attention to the
fact that the leaders in the Coxey business
as well as in the populist party. are native
Americans, and consequently that the re-
sponsibiltty for such develo pments cannot be
unloaded upon foreign Immigrants. 1t might
also have added that the states in which pop
ulism has secured its strongest hold are not
the states in which foreign born voters are
proportionately most numerous. Kansas has
nowhere near the alien element that WiScon-
sin has, and South Carolina has had hardly
foreign immigrants enough to count We
cannot set down the outbreaks of financial
lunacy in such communities to the pres nce
OF "a horde Of foreigners, ignorant of our in
situations"

that furnished by Gen" Aubrey, of the

Judge Hines has not yet got down off
the political fence, so far as anybody
knows. The numerous statements that
he is in the populist clearing are hardly
borne out by his original declaration
hedged with Ifs and provisos. If the
populists were to adopt strong and broad
platform-which they are not likely to
do--and if they were to nominate decent
candidates also it is not likely
they will do-Judge Hines said he might
take sides with them. 1t is not good
policy to attempt to push the Judge off
the fence ON the wrong side; it would be
better to induce him to get down on the
same side from which he got up

A Bad Law.

The New York legislature has enacted
law granting pensions to school teach
ers after thirty years of service in case of
females, and and thirty-fve years in case
of males. After that length of service
they are to be retired on half pay.
The money for the pensions is expected
to come from donations to the pension
fund, from the withholding of salaries
when teachers take vacations and other
sources. The other sources mean appro-
priations by the state.
There is no more excuse for pensioning
teachers than there is for pensioning
firemen, or policemen, or any other class
of employees in the service of the public,
and if pensions were given to all of these
classes, the public would have much
bigger burden than it could carry with
any degree of comfort.
The argument that firemen, policemen,
teachers and others who serve the public
are poorly paid, and hence cannot save
anything for old age, is not sound. They
are paid more than they could earn in
other occupations. If they could earn
more in other fields of labor they would
not remain in the service of the public.
The majority of those who are taxed
to pay teachers their salaries
earn no more than teachers do,
and yet they are compelled to be
thrifty in order to have something
with which to support themselves after
their capacity for work is gone Why
should any class of those who serve the
public be more favored than they? The
mechanic, the laborer, the clerk, in fact,
all the workers III the various occupations
have no expectation of a pension They
are forced to be economical and save
old age. Why should not the employees in
public positions be required to be thrifty
This New York law is only the entering
wedge of the pension business. Other
classes of employees of the public will be
asking for pensions within year or two,
and, having precedent, will likely get
them, The superstition that any consid-
cradle sum will be donated to the teach
ers' pension fund, or that the deductions
from salaries on account of vacations
will yield a large amount is hardly worth
considering. Teachers will not take va
cations if they have to give up their pay
during the time of their absence, and yet
they ought to have vacations. Other
wise their usefulness as teachers would be
impaired. The state will have to pay the
pensions, which will amount to a great deal
more than the advocates of the pension
system are willing to admit.

Secretary Sterling Morton preserves
well the rugged vigor of the style of ex-
preston he brought with him from the
west. He was asked the other day as to
the truth of the rumor that Presidential
Mrs. Cleveland would pay visit to Ar
Dor Lodge, the Morton homestead in Ne
braska, during the early part of this
month. The secretary regretted the re-
port was not true, and added that the re-
porter who started the rumor must have
been touched with the unveracity virus
of Mulholland, or was suffering from
paralysis of the truth-telling faculties or
a sort of Ananias and Sapphire paresis."
