RESULTS OF TIE CHANGE.

The country is surely getting a sur
felt of change. 1t was the campaign
cry two years ago, and every voter with
elastic principles cut his moorings and
went in for anything for a change"
They got 1t and are now enjoying the
fruits of their conduct. Toenumerate in
brief: Instead of tariff reform we have
tariff muddle. Confusion worse con-
founded-a hybrid law which experts
say viii not stand the test, law which
impoverishes the poor and enriches a
few, law whose incubation has been
watched with the keenest interest by the
manufacturers of England, Wales and
Germany, a law enacted against the
wishes of 80 per cent of the people of the
county and through the perfidy and
unblushing Doodle of a few unscruplous
congressman.
Further than this: we have silver de-
monetIzed, the currency contracted, con-
fidence destroyed, credit impaired and a
general and disastrous falling off in
every branch of business.

is a sorry picture from our chief execu-
tive down. Whatever his ability or
capacity for discharging the duties of
his office, the president has prostltuted
the functions of that Office by the most
glaring Inconsistencies. His letter to
Wilson need only be cited as an ex-
ample. When president deScends to
the level of debating to congress what
laws shall be passed, backing up his de-
mands by the cheap demagogy of a
ward politician, the spectacle is pitiable
indeed.
In a few western states this change
has evolved the unprincipled monde
script-the nobody in politics-the pro-
fessional place hunter. the political
tramp, who is neither competent nor
worthy Ct the suffrage of even the mis-
guided voters who elected him: states
under rule of Socialist governors-gov-
errors openly defending the acts of An
archists and shielding the crime of the
felon; districts represented in congress
by unlettered cranl;s-mere itinerant
peddlers of communism and seditious
vagaries which they spew out upon
their followers, solely for their support
at the polls. But the chapter is too
long and the spectacle too sickening in
detail to follow. 1t is, gust the same,
what the peOp!e wauted-a change

ment for royaly to enjoy an alliance
with him. He is to have no fol-de-rol i'll
this match. His daughter is not tt
come back home in year or two, heart
broken and abused with child or twC
to remind her of her misery.
No, Pullman, the Chicago house
mover, for that was what he was thirty
years ago. will bind the aristocrats with
an iron contract. His daughter is TO be
regarded as one of the royal family; she
is to be princess and her children are
to be protected il their hereditary right:
and titles and possessions.
The European royalty with its tagged
manhood and its propensity for dissipa.
ton, late hours, lax morals and gam
bling debts has turned many a rich
American father down. Ithas disgraced
many American families and has put
many fond mother in the grave pre-
maturely.
VIII the royalty of Europe play the
same old game with Pullman? Will
pretty little Florence Pullman trot back
from Europe in a year or two and sob
her life away under the paternal root
with memories of insults and sights she
has suffered from her interiors?
Il is hardly possible. 1t is rather to
be expected that inside of ten years
Pullman will have mortgage on the
Hapsburg throne, a chattel loan on most
OF TIE Austrian manors and a cinch on
the premiership for himself. He will
reserve the exclusive right to run his
famous cars on all the European rail-
ways, and pay the Austrian serfs wages
that he has fixed upon himself.
That is George Pullman. The Haps-
burgs will discover, as in the marriage
contract, that be has nothing to arbi-
trate.
Dealing seriously with the marriage it
is the same old story. The American
preachers and the American newspapers
preach against American alliances with
foreign princes, but when the rich secure
an opportunity to break into the royal
or the princely, or tie merely nominal
aristocracy of Europe, they waste no
time in worrying over the patriotic or
sociological side of the matter. but are
off and married post haste. Florence
Pullman should have married an Amer
lean. The man whom she will wed
takes her for her money. She did not
have TO scour Europe to find a suitable
match. She has simply traded her
money for title. As her father is a
man of business and eminently success
full al a trade, she but exercises a natural
and Unborn talent in making this swap.
It is only swap. 1t can not be dig
nified wish the sacred word marriage.

The town of Pullman was not named
entirely after George Pullman. 4 bright
young architect by the name of Beman
drew the plans for the town and the
buildings, and as part of his compen-
sation Pullman concluded 10 name the
town after himself ard Mr.. Beman.
Taking the first syllable of his name and
the last of Bemau's, the result was Pull
man. OF course Mr.. Beman would have
preferred 20 contribute the first syllable
Of his name to the last Of Pullman's. but

came to me and said he had customer
for a violin. l gave him one worth
fifty dollars, and he took ii away, say
ing that he would show il to his friend
and let me know the result. Several
days thereafter he came back and said
that he thought he could induce his
friend to take better violin, and re-
quested me to let him have one or two
others so that his friend could try
them. l said certainly, and let him
have two, one worth one hundred and
fifty dollars and one worth three hun
bred dollars. He said he would be
back the next day.

nothing of him Then he came and
said that his friend was still trying

wrote again and again, and finally sent
my clerk over to his home in Brooklyn.
The clerk came back saying that the
young man had been absent from home
for week, and that his folks supposed
that he. was in the country. Then l
became somewhat alarmed. and went
over to the house and saw his father
myself. l told him what had happened,
and asked him what | had better do.
His father was very respectable man,
but | could see at once, from the way
he acted, that he was of the opinion
that his son had deceived me. He told
me that he was quite sure that the
stories that his son had told me were
manufactured, and said that he would
set out to find the boy.
Several days elapsed, and finally the
old gentleman came into the store with
the boy. The latter looked very much
frightened and crestfallen, his father
very angry and very much panied. 1t
was as he had supposed. The bows
story to me had proved lie from be-
ginning to end. He had pawned the
violins and spent the money he had OBJ
tanned. The father was man of small
means, and was unable to redeem the
viOlins, so | had to redeem them my
self. He promised to repay me as soon
as he could, and suggested that prose-
cute the boy. But l did not want to.
This is not so unusual an occur
renee as you might imagine. The
tricks and receptions that young
musicians of talent practice in their
dealings with men who are their
benefactors are sufficient to make one
lose his faith in human nature. 1t
would almost seem as though the pos
session of musical genius frequently
carried with it a degree of moral OBJ
li9uity which one would not expect to
find in any but criminals. 1t is certain
that many of the clever young men.
and old men, too, for that matter, with
whom we come in contact are men
whom we would not associate with for
a moment if it were not for their tai
ents."

long time past, and quite recently went

his two sons.
The exact nature OF Mr.. Phelps ailment
was never definitely stated. but his illness
was primarily from typhoid fever. which
was followed by meningitis and other
complications. He was not naturally OF
robust constitution and he inherited
pulmonary troubles.
Mr.. Phelps end was peaceful and calm,
