Sir Henry and the Cabbies.

Sir Henry Irving presided at the annual
dinner of the Cabmen's Benevolent asso-
citation, and during speech related several
amusing stories of his experiences and OBJ
servations of London cabmen. Not few
of us have known cabmen whom we held
in special regard. There was one affable
driver that invited to the Lyceum, CIV
ing him the money for the admission. The
next time saw him said, "Well, how
did you like the playf" He hesitated for
moment. choosing, as l thought, the
most graceful words to express his pleasure
and admiration, and then he said, "Well,
sir. I didn't CO." "You didn't go! Why
not?' "Well, sir, you see there's the
missus. and she preferred the waxworks"

But take the open road again.
No more, lackey in your train,
Your flckle pleasure pursue.
I spur to draw jingling rein
In bold ambitions retinue.
No more, a slave of your caprice,
I labor on in sun and rain.
The longest servitude must cease
At swapping Of tho rusty chain.
Yet golden chances sometimes fall
At beggars' feet, and lackeys pose
As lords anon, ana slaves in thrall
Nurse hopes no freeman evar knows.

LOOK OUT FOR ALLISON.

The LoAE Headed Cincinnati Enquirer
Discusses Republican Politics.
The dangerous candidates for the Re.
publican presidential nomination are
Allison of Iowa. Reed of Maine and
Ben Harrison. It is tbs belief among
the long headed that within the next
year whatever there may be now OF
strength for Mckinley will have been
largely dissipated. because it will then
be apparent that the Republicans cannot
hold the northwestern states with q
candidate committed to ultra protection
theories.
Up to about the close Of the recent
congress Reed was far in the lead. Like
others. however, who have had the pres.
idential itch, he was forced to show
ing which he would much preferred to
have passed over. This was his vote on
the proposition for gold bonds. The
vote, though given no doubt with hon.
est sincerity, lost him perforce strong
following in the far west. It has now
drifted away, and the leaders from such
quarter are beginning to more than Sc
riously consider Allison.
1t is evident that as Reed loses
strength Allison acquires it. He is,
happily, not on record with ultra views
on either the tariff or silver. 1t is reo-
ognized even by the more ardent friends
of the principle of protection that the
Republican party cannot afford at the
next election to make campaign Oh
radical lines. 1t is because Mckinley is
the apostle # protection that he is weak.
The strength is his gentle character,
good looks and noisy friends.
Mr.. Mckinley will also be weakened
by the espousal Of his cause by Mayor
Strong of New York. Strong is leaning
to such a point of independence that
neither his friends nor his enemies know
how to place him. What is not wanted
is such a man in the White House, and

Il Was Blue Against Black. but tho Cadets

Attention. Forward, marchp'

Brown of the Manual Training school,

heels ranged themselves in straight
line, and so blue coated, blue capped,
white gloved boys, dressing to the
'front.'" stepped briskly forward. Not
one faltering cadet made misstep, and
everything went along smoothly. At
that time the thought Of possible wars
did not disturb the serenity Of the COCA
sion, and it is doubtful whether or not
the whole Chinese army and company
of regulars could have scared the cadets
to flight, but they had no sooner begun
to cross over to the south side Of Lucas
place than couple Of coal drivers,
without even so much as a vestige Of
blue or the sign of weapon, appeared
upon the scene, and as they were anx-
ious to proceed with their load they did
not heed the passing soldiery, but ran
their wagon straight through the ranks.
Not thus did the prospective warriors
propose to be rudely interfered with,
and regardless of their military disci-
pline they broke ranks and pursued the
offending coal men. One venturesome
boy climbed on the wagon, and had it
not been for the poorness of his aim he
would probably have severely injured
one of the men with large lump of
coal. Neither were the drivers to be
''bluffed," for they also tried to ward
off their pursuers by chunks of coal
large enough to have built comforta-
BILE fire. And so for few moments the
battle ragged, coal fighting coal, blue
against black. But it was only for a
few moments. It did not take long for
80 large sized boys bent on mischief to
rent two mem, and the drivers were glad
to make good their escape. The wagon
was quickly taken in charge by the
boys, and while squad was appointed
by the captain to watch it the company
proceeded on its march as if nothing
had happened. The men were pursued
some distance, but the best sprinters in
the company were unable to get near

Senator Cameron and Silver.

Don Cameron has presidential aspira-
lions. He can have tho silver nomina-
tion by the mere nod of his head. This,
we are told he does not care to have.
At any rate, not as things stand just at
this time. The Republican nomination
is what he is after. He is thorough
believer in the idea that if the Repub-
ican party could be polled it would be
found to be overwhelmingly for silver.
He maintained this position all the way
through the last congress. He told Sen
ators Teller, Wolcott, Mitchell and the
rest of the silver Republicans in con-
gress that he would bet his last dollar
on the assertion that Pennsylvania was
as strongly silver as she was for pro-
tective tariff. In response these silver
men told Don that, if what he assert
ed were true, the thing for him to do
would be to announce himself to the
voters of the Keystone State as candi-
date for the presidency. If he could Sc
cure delegation to the national con-
vention favorable to him, they would
pledge him the support of the states of
the northwest and the Pacific coast 1t
is believed that it is Don's intention to
make the effort to do what his silver
friends suggested. Philadelphia Star.

SILVER IN POLITICS.
THE WHITE METAL IN THE NEXT
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

The Country Is Manifesting Great Interest
In the Opinions of Prominent Men of
Both Parties In the Legislature-Sen-
ator Don Cameron's Ideas.
The interest that is thus early mani
tested in the next presidential campaign
Is Indicative of a warm contest, but it
is curious to notice that this interest
centers not SO much in the candidates
as in the principles of the campaign. 1t
is indeed rare that within about year
is said of men as candidates and SO
much about what is involved in the
controversy. 1t appears as if the issues
were to be settled first, and then the
search would be made for men to repre-
sent them.
A politician in Illinois, member Of
congress and Republican, has outlined
what he believes is quite likely to take
place. He assumes that a large majority
of the people of the west and south are
in favor of restoring silver to the posi-
ton it held in 1872. Whether this be
true or not it furnishes the basis of his
calculation. He says that within 60
days after the meeting of the new con-
gress free silver coinage bill will be
passed and presented to the president:
that it will be vetoed, which will put
the Republican party in the position Of
favoring domestic bimetallism, and the
Democratic party. in so far as the ao-
tion of its president can do SO, in oppo-
sition to it: that the Republican ma
tional convention will adopt resolu-
ton favoring the unlimited coinage Of
silver. which will force the Democrats
to either --straddle" or oppose it, which
will result in the election of Repub-
ioan president.
This is a very pretty plan, but what
will the next congress do with the pres
ident's veto of an unlimited coinage bill
if it passes congress? 1t is altogether
probable that the Republican free silver
contingent, with the silver Democrats,
could pass the bill over the presidents
veto. If this should be done, the silver
question would be seeded so far as free
silver agitation is concerned. If, on the
other hand, it could be done, but was
not, how could the Republicans pose
before the country as the champions of
unlimited coinage?
1t is not probable that either party
will allow itself to be led into a cul de
sac of this kind on the silver question,
but rather that the delegates at its next
convention will outline each party's
policy and commit the party to it in the
platform. Both parties in the eastern
and middle states are practically solid
in opposition to free silver, although
two Republican senators, one from New
Hampshire and one from Pennsylvania,
are believed to be in favor of unlimited
coinage. Individuals may express their
preferences, but it is not probable that
either party will take positive stand
on the silver question before the con-
ventions of 1896 adopt and publish
their platforms. Chicago Record.
