We spent the remainder of the day

Social ~Stratagelns.

William Dean Howell's father, who
emigrated to Ohio half a century or
more ago, used this formula to get rid
of an intrusive visitor who had worn
out his welcome:
He would be called out on some
business, and would say to the guest:
81 suppose you will not be here
when l return, 80 | wish you good
by"
This was not bad, except in compar-
ison with the suberb stratagem as
cribed to Gerrit Smith in such emer-
gencies-as that he used to say in his
family prayer after breakfast: "May
the Lord also bless Brother Jones, who
leaves us on the 10 o'clock train this
morning"

A Clever conrict Carer

A convict In one Of our big prisons
has sent London solicitor walking
stick, fashioned by himself during his
iile hours, which is marvel Of artistic
work. The stick Is light, straight
piece Of beechwood. A gold head or
naments the top, but this is discounted
BY the remarkable wood carving.
The convict has, with his penknife,
carved upon the slender stick faith
full representations of the faces Of every
Premier from Pitt to Salisbury. Di-
rectly below the ornamental gold head
piece the convict carved the British
lion and the motto, "Dieu ct mon droit. -
Then follow the faces of all the Pre-
miers.
The stick was evidently taken when
green. The outer bark was polished
and cut away to the sap wood. This
was cut and carved in thousands OF
delicate hair lines and then the wood
was cut away. leaving each foce on a
raised surface.
The work is as delicately done as the
finest pen and ink work, and that the
convict is an artist is attested by the
faithful representations.--Ex.

Training For The Campaign.

A good many Republicans have COM
menced training for next years cam
paign. They are yelling about the gov
ernment's deficit. Let them yell if they
think they can make any political cap
ital out of ii. The Democratic party
has done nothing 10 be ashamed of. 1t
was the Republican party which passed
the Sherman law and bred the panic.
TWAS the Republican party which pass
ed the Mckinley bill and paralized our
foreign trade. 1t was the Republican
party that added over So, 900, 900 to our
annual pension account and increased
expenses generally.
The War Department cost the Gov
eminent less during the last year of
Cleveland's administration than in any
year under President Arthur. Expen-
ses were cut down not only here, but
also in the Navy and several other de-
partments. The only notably increase
during Cleyeland's first term was in
pensions, and it was justified, in part at
least, by the country's large surplus
revenue at that time. The increase was
from $50, O00, 600 in 1885 to $50, 900, 900
in 1888. A reduction was made in ex-
penditures for the care of Indians and
in miscellaneous expenses.
But there was no reduction In any of
these departments or divisions after
the Republican party came into power.
The War Departments expenses jump
ed from s3S, 600, 600 in the last year Of
President Cleveland's to nearly SAT ,0OO,-
600, in the last year of President Har-
rison's administration. The increase
for the navy was still greater-from
ST., 100000 to $4,000, 900. Expenditures
tor Indians more than doubled, grow
ing from $4,000, 600 to II, OOo, 900. Not
withstanding the large addition made
to the annual pension allowance under
Cleveland's first administration, the
amount was still further increased in
the next four years 1900, 600. An
other large increase under Harrison
was in miscellaneous expenses-from
$4,000, 900 to nearly s1O0, OOO, 900.
Such was the inheritance of the pres
ent administration: New expenses on
all sides that had to be met: contracts
entered into by Republican admins
tration that could not be abrogated. Re-
trenchment has been attempted where
conditions justified, but in many cases
reduction has been impossible owing to
contracts previously made. President
Harrison found full Treasury when
he took charge of affairs. He turned
1t over to Mr.. Cleveland almost empty.
The latter was handicapped at the start
by panic brought on by the Republic
can party. The panic has been wealth
cred and the country is again in a pros
porous condition. The deficit is grow.
ing smaller and there is good reason to
believe that it will be wiped out alto
gether before the close of the fiscal
year.
Republican calamity howlers are well
come to all the political capital they
can get out of the deficit. Republic.
