Tale of a Boy ana a Cigarette.

The venerable and familiar moral tale
of the bad little boy who offered the cir
Gus elephant a chew of tobacco is far
surpassed in ethical force by the new and
strictly truthful story of ll-year-old
Harry Manning of Waltham, Mass, saws
Harper's Weekly. Harry has been learn
ing to smoke cigarettes, and one after
noon about a fortnight agp he was SIT
ing on a barrel behind Northup's gro
Gerry practicing, when he heard footsteps
Not caring to smoke in company he no.
litely dropped his lighted cigarette into
the bung-hole OF the barrel on which he
sat. The statement Is that when the
moral elephant IN the other story re-
ceived the chew Of tobacco he seized
Tommy, the evil-doer by the coat collar
with the thumb and finger of his trunk
and threw him harshly out through the
roof of the circus tent. The event in
Harry's case was still more precipitous
and surprising. The barrel he sat on
had contained naphtha, and rejected the
lighted cigarette with on instantaneous
burst of emotion which sundered its hoops
and gave Harry all the symptoms ex-
perienced by the boy who stood on the
burning deck whence all but he had fed.
Happily Harry came down in the same
township in which he went up. and was
identified, and IS still living with his pa
rents, but another time he will drop his
nose into an empty barrel before he
drops his cigarette into it. The narra-
tive of his adventure is here cheerfully
recorded as a warning to boys who smoke
cigarettes and for use in schools.

II we understand the matter correctly,
the Texas eoup which ruled that the state
laws as they now stand do not prohibit
prize fighting, is the court OF last resort
for questions Of the kind. Its rulings
therefore, must be the law until the stat
utes are changed. In view of this fact
il Is somewhat out of the ordinary to
find number OF preachers of the gospel
urging the governor not to accept the
finding OF the court, and Offering him their
moral and physical support, If the latter
may be deemed Necessary, If he will act
in opposition to the courts finding. Prize
fighting is certainly objectionable. and
should not be permitted If there is legal
warrant for preventing it. But it is GER
tainly not as Objectionable and
not near so dangerous TO society as a
whole as the inculcating of defiance of
the courts and the law when they do not
chance to coincide with certain mems
views. There is too little respect for the
courts and the law now 1t would be
better to permit the fight to occur, and
then go TO work vigorously to have the
statutes changed. than TO do anything to
bring the court into disrepute with the
people.

cleveland and a ThIrd Term.

on his return from Europe last week
Mr.. Chauneey NJ. Depew, speaking of
presidential candidates, said: Il think
President Cleveland would draw more
votes as a candidate for the presidency
next year than any other man in his par
ty. He is popular because he has given his
party real live issues" Further along in
mis- talk. AR Depew said: IF Mr.. Whit
ney were nominated he would make a
strong candidate. but it would be merely
a substitution for Mr.. Cleveland. No
democrat can be elected next year, and so
there isno use worrying about it,"
There is no doubt about Mr.. Cleveland's
popularity. and 1t is not confined to any
particular part Of the country. At meet
ings Of democrats in the north. south.
east and west the mention Of his name
is received with applause. The reason OF
this is that Mr., Cleveland is a man of
courage and great independence. He does
not walt to see what is popular before
adopting course of action. He does what
he believes to be right and for the best in
terests Of the country. The people ad-
mire a leader who knows his own mind,
acts from a high sense of duty and pays
no attention to favor-seeking politicians.
We are satisfied that Mr. Cleveland is
not seeking a denomination. He has Meth
er said nor done anything that justifies
the opinion that he is. 1t is doubtful If
he could get the nomination if ne wanted
it, popular as he is, because of the feeis
ing against a third term. While 1t Is
true that another term for Mr.. Cleveland
would not be three consecutive terms vt
would be a third term. Mr. Cleveland
recognizes the feeling against a third term,
and. it is pretty safe to say, respects it. p
II would hardly be a proper thing for
him to do to announce that he would not
accent the nomination, because such an an
nouncement would make it appear that
in his opinion the nomination would come
to him if he would accept it, but the
chances are that he will take occasion to
make It appear before the national demo-
era VIC convention meets that he would not
accept the nomination if it should be offer
ed to him.
Mr.. Depew says that Mr.. Whitney is a
popular man in his party. There is no
doubt about that, and If the times should
continue to be good. and he should be
nominated the probabilities are that he
would be elected. Mr.. Depew is confident
that no democrat could be elected Presi-
dent next year. He is shrewed observ-
er, and his opinion in political matters is
worth great deal, but he hasn't travelled
over the country recently. The change in
favor of keeping a democrat at the head
of the government has been very great
during the time Mr.. Depew has been away
from New York, and. therefore, ne is not
prepared to give an opinion as to the
strength Of the democracy that is valuable.
The Democratic party is growing in
strength every day and the very general
opinion among democratic leaders is that
the next president will be a democrat.

Charles r. Dodge, special agent of the
federal agricultural department, in a re-
port on the ramie plant, SAYS it cannot be
successfully grown in this country north
Of the gulf states. Prolonged cold weather
kills it. A warm climate and sandy soil
are needed, and they will produce three
crops year. In China the fiber is pre-
pared by hand, and the commercial sup
ply is obtained from that country, He
thinks that machine to successfully
clean the fiber is in sight When that ma
chine is perfected, farmers in the gulf
states can further diversity their crops.
and make a good profit on ramie.

StiII, Another silver Party.
From the Chicago Times-Herald Dem.

They have started once more the new
silver party which is TO include for next
year all voters who hold that silver is the
only issue. Three times before, they
have started this party-once in Wash
ington two years ago once in the same
this summer. They will get it started
to suit them after a time and with the
use of Stewards Silver knights as a
means of organization can draw the line
which will show how many voters will
constitute their hosts against the two old
parties and the socialistic populists
Without being willing to form hasty
be a bad last in the race. Those who
pledge themselves to abandon the old
party which does not declare for Is to l
may swell the new party's ranks some
what but we think the pledges will not
be as ardently flung forth when the time
comes for crossing the Rubicon Few
politicians are even now eulogizing the
silver party except ethose who are no
longer politicians in any other party.

The Washington pension agents, to
whom the country is indebted for the bur-
dens placed upon it by the pension laws.
and whose rascally work was to some ex-
tent checked by the present democratic
administration. are doubtless at the bot
tom of the active movement of the Grand
Army Of the Republic for another raid on
the United States treasury.
The old soldiers complain that the peo-
pie are forgetting their services, or rather.
are forgetting to give them more pen
sions and all the offices. The facts don't
seem to bear out the assertion that there
is lack Of memory on the part of the peo-
pie. 1t is often said that the old union
veterans fought for patriotism, not for
pelf, but it appears from the pension list
that they not only fought for pay. but
want to be continued on the pay list until
the end of their lives. and then have the
pensions they enjoyed continued to their
women folks.
The tax payers will some day rise up
and stop all the pension business and put
the burden of paying pensions to millions

Counsel for FfIibusters.
From Springfield Cdass) Republican QnD

Senator Gray of Delaware is out of
place as counsel defending men under in
dictment for violating our neutrality laws
by organizing a filibustering expedition
against Cuba. He is an officer of the
United States. and as such has no bust
ness to be trying to protect violators of
its laws from the consequences of their
actions, or putting obstacles in the way
of other officers of the government who
are trying to enforce these laws as they
have sworn to do. Gray as a senator
will probably be obliged to deal with
these violations of our neutrality in his
capacity as SUCH and it is a mistake
for him to make himself a partisan of
this kind of lawbreakers.

garding the contemplated purchasing OF
Rome for the pope is founded on good
grounds; that the matter is being serI-
ously discussed by the cabinets of Eu-
rope. and that negotiations are in prog
ress between the vatican and the quirinai.
In 1876 the scheme was canvassed at
Geneva, Switzerland. When Victor EN-
manuel heard of it he said: ''Neverl Italy
without Rome would be no longer United
Italy" There appears to be no good
ground for thinking that King Humbert

The Woman in Politics.

Two women are candidates for the leg
islature in Utah. Mrs Lille r. Paran,
wife of a Salt Lake attorney, and Mrs.
Emmeline b. Wells, widow of one of the
the Gentle and the Mormon elements
and both are running on the republican
ticket. This fact goes TO show that the
lines that divide parties do not run paral-
lei with the lines that divide the friends
and the enemies of the Mormon faith. 1t
is well that. affairs have taken that turn.

us, nevertheless. Throughout the state

There ought not to be any question
about the Sunday opening of the Atlanta
exposition, or any part of it. Sunday
opening was deemed not good for the
Chicago exposition, and what was not
good for that affair certainly is not good
for the Atlanta show. The demand for
Sunday opening probably hasjts strength
with the concessionaries, who wish to
take advantage of every possible oppor-
tunity to gather in the nickels and
dimes. The exposition is too great a sue
cess and too clever an advertisement of
the south to have it's fame marred by
Sabbath dissertation.

Senator PETER is far-sighted. He fore
sees that his political career will come to
an end with the expiration of his term
as senator, and is making arrangements
for the future. He has bought a con-
trolling interest in a populist paper in
Topeka, and will become an editor when
he ceases to be a senator. PETER is not
going too deeply into the newspaper bust
ness all at once. however. He will show
more judgment than Tom Watson did.
He will print his paper only once a week
and seeif the people will stand that much
wailing. If they will, he will try them

was writing letters to the populists on

contemporary, they could probably hold
him on breach of promise ISSUE and

literally. The city council has voted 10
buy seventy ballot machines. at cost
of $4,000. The company that supplies
them has agreed to furnish them with
any new improvements discovered in the
next four years. and to take them back
at the end of that time if law should
be passed abolishing the machine system
of voting. According to the tests made 1t
is estimated that the machines will save
not less than $4,000 a year in paper, print

themselves in about four years. The count
