-Ex-Gov. Beavers nail mill at

they will have more work, more wages
and more bread and meat.-Pittsburgh

As the prosperity of the country
increases, SO do the hopes of the high
tariff party decrease. There is nothing
the McKinleyites SO much dread Just
now as the revival Of industry and

two monsters were found by him as he

In the road. Both were lifeless, and

length and had swallowed the smaller

For several feet round about the spot

TALE OF A TRUNK.
What Story 1t Conveyed to The New YORK
Baggage Smasher.

What Story 1t Conveyed to The New York
Baggage smasler.
There are trunks and trunks. There
are trunks which the law requires in
the spectacular drama for the march
ing woman, and there is the trunk the
elephant brakes on the road, and the
commercial travellers trunk that al.
ways blocks up the passageways of the
country hotels, and the steamer trunk
constructed with the view to certain
spaces under the berths, and the hump
backed Saratoga that is as big as q
chicken house and as light as a grip,
and the sole leather unsmashable af-
fair that has been around the world.
But the trunk that was hustled into
the Marlborough the other morning
before breakfast was none of these. 1t
was in construction an ordinary,
smart, new. medium sized trunk. Yet
people fingered on the walks and gazed
at it and smiled and looked pleased at
each other as the grinning baggage.
man took it down from the
heap. They stopped across the
way en- Thirty-sixth street and
watched him. Even as far as Broadway
the infection spread and the public
generally approved of this trunk, For
it had dainty white satin ribbon tied
in big bows on the handles There
were other still daintier bows of the
same innocent material attached to
the locks and hugging the Stats and
kissing the cold iron plates and caress-
ing the solid corners. And how ten
derby the baggageman and the hotel
porters handled that trunk! If it had
been made of spun glass or stuck to-
gether with candy it would have come
off safely without a scratch or crack.
Other trunks were dumped on the
stones and banged and bruised and
shaken up in the usual method. This
trunk loated through space as If it
were a pitcher Of cream, and its pre-
cious contents might slop over. ! don't
say that the rough baggageman actu-
ally kissed it, but he really looked as
II he wanted to kiss it-while the por-
ter gently smoothed out the pretty
bows until the fringed ends seemed to
have been newly done up. And the
pleased public looking on distinctly
approved of the trunk and the white
ribbon and the baggageman and por-
ters and everything and everybody
concerned.- IN. Y, Herald.

THE PRESIDENTS COURAGE.
Always Ready to Declare His Convictions
and to Fight for Them.

Always Ready to Declare. His Convictions
and to Fight for Them.
We have seen in the marvellous career
of a firm and brave man how popular
is political courage, and how loyalty
the people follow resolute leadership.
More conspicuously than any of oul
generation has stood forth one who
has had strong convictions, with the
courage always to declare them and
everywhere to fight for them; who has
achieved success by character and abil-
ity, not by offices or otlice-holders; who,
in the midst of fractional discord and
partisan abuse, has confidently relied
on an appeal from faction to the rank
and file, and from the partisan to the
people; who has stood for his princi-
pies without compromise, and for
sound policies against heresy inside or
outside of his own party; and who has
impressed himself upon the people be-
cause they believe that he stood stead
fast for the public welfare, without re-
gard to personal or political conse-
quences.
One of two familiar incidents in his
later life will illustrate my meaning.
The campaign of 1883 was about to
begin, in which he was about to be a
candidate for reelection. lie had given
the country an honorable and success
full administration; q democratic vic
tory seemed certain. The one thing
needful was not to raise new questions
nor disturb existing conditions. So
prudence and timidity suggested; so
party leaders and associates advised.
But, disregarding such advice, Cleve-
land issued his historic message in De-
cember, lSs7-a bold challenge to
wealthy, powerful and favored inter-
ests, but II trumpet call marshaling
the intelligence and patriotism Of the
country to the consideration of the
most important question of a genera
ton, which politicians and parties had
hitherto feared to touch. That mes
sage was not the product of political
expediency, but of conscience, convic-
tion and courage. 1t led to temporary
defeat; but 1t gave his party new life
and vigor, made him it's trusted leader,
UNNECESSARILY raised the standard of
politics, and finally won the hearty sup
port of the country, giving to democ-
racy Its first opportunity since the war
for important constructive legislation.
Again, in 1891, when the free coinage
of silver was imminent, and politicians
especially would-be candidates for
president = were reluctant to declare
their position, Cleveland, with charac-
t~eristic courage and directness, de-
nounced "the dangerous and reckless
experiment" His party was badly
split upon the question. To many his
action gave great ~offense; by many
more it was thought to be political sui
eide. But oon the party made him
again Its leader, and under such leader
ship won a notable victory.-William
L. Russell, In Century.
