The Dcncon,s News.

From the New York World.
I don't like that rich Teller over the way,
With his billed shirts an white linen col
lars;
I don't like the airs he puts on every day,
But l wouldn't mind havin' his dollars.
No, 1 wouldn't mind havin' his dollars
1 don't like that young STRIPPING of a dude,
Who's just getting home from the college;
1 don't like him cause he's SO stuck-up
an rude
But wouldn't mind having his knowlige.
Gosh! 1 wouldn't mind having his knowl-
ige!
1 don't like that sport of a pugilist
An the way that he makes the sports
hustle;
I don't like the way he uses his fist,
But wouldn't mind havin' his muscle.
ID kinder like to have his musclei
An I've never saw about gambling
Anything interesting or funny:
l don't like races as a general thing,
But | wouldn't mind winning the money.
I'd rather like winning the money!
For a Presidents life or a Presidents lot
The fairies have neer caught me wishing
l don't envy the authority he's got,
But rather like hunting and fishing.
o, how like hunting and fishing!

A Common Practice.

It's quite common for some trades peopl.
TO persuade customer TO take some otbe,
article instead Of that called for. II i
sometimes called substitution, but ia
cheating the customer out Of that which
he wanted. 1t IS always done for a mean
motive. The dealer who does this has M
consideration for his customer. It's like
getting rid Of something in which the
dealer himself was swindled, and yet be
must get his money out Of it by deceivipg

The Brooklyn Eagle reports that New
Jersey man the other day sold his wife
10 his neighbor for $50. and the neighbor
lacking the ready money, the accom-
modating husband gave him the privilege
of paying the amount in installments of
s. a month. That was 400 cheap. Thirty
years ago likely black women were sold

that the crime OF 1873 is responsible for it

age no man has the right to undertake
the work and responsibility of the chief
executive office. 1t may be that the SER

pretzel that if the Republican party were

Senator PETER is finding the populist
party irksome. 1t is too small for him.
Its meets and bounds are too contracted to
permit of a full sweep of his whiskers
He wishes to get out of it. But If he
were to get out as things are now, he
would have nowhere to 60 However.
PETER is brilliant enough to meet the
emergency. He is capable of meeting, or
going up against any emergency that
suggests this formulation of a plan or the
drawing of an appropriation bill Not
long ago he drew and offered in the SEN
ate an appropriation bill providing for the
expenditure of more money than there
was in existence in the whole world But
that did not phase" him even little bit.
This is mentioned merely to show the
magnificent sweep of the mans mind.
No object or subject is too big for PETERS
mind. He is capable of drawing up and
perfecting an entirely new and original
currency scheme every day in the year,
and still have plenty of time left In which
to make speeches. Therefore. a little
thing like formulating the scheme of a
new party is a matter of child's play
with him. His proposed new party is
to stand upon just six planks, but every
plank of the lot is as wide as the pursuit
of happiness" plank in the federal consti-
tuition, hence the PETER party's platform
will be as broad as the universe and as
deep as space. 1t is to be hoped that the
senator win continue his efforts in behalf
of a new party. He deserves to have a
party OF his own. He is a high-minded
man. His Uranium is about six feet four
above his socks.

The National conventions.

In several influential western papers tho
opinion has been expressed that it would
be better for the country for many rea-
sons if the national conventions next
year were called TO meet late in the sum-
mer. A long campaign, they say, dis
turbs business and tires out campaign
workers. From their standpoint a shor.
sharp campaign would be much more Sal
isfactOry to great majority of the pee.
pie than a long one.
There is much sound sense in what the
western papers say about this matter
What is the use Of giving so much time
to campaign work? The presidential cleo
ton comes around once every four years,
and the years go by quickly. A presl-
Dental election is only a little more than
settled before another presidential cam
paign is begun. The keeping of the coun-
try In turmoil Of political excitement
is a hindrance to prosperity.
The republicans. however, seem inclined
to make the next campaign a long one.
Their national committee is TO meet in
November. and It is given out that a ma
JOTlty OF the committee are OF the Opin-
ion that the convention should be called
10 meet in May. That means of course a
campaign of nearly six months. II the
republicans have their convention in May
the democrats viii have theirs either in
that month or the early part OF June.
They would be afraid the republicans
would get an advantage of them if they
should put off their convention until late
In the summer.
From almost every standpoint of view
it would be better to hold the conventions
at least two months later. In three
| months campaign the people would get
| all the politics they care about.
Even now the chances and claims OF
candidates are being discussed. The can
didates understand this, and they improve
their opportunities of keeping themselves
before the public. They don't do any
talking. because they don't want to say
anything that could be used against them
and as they are likely 10 say something
Of that sort if they talk at all they seep
safety in silence. But they have no OBJ
lection to having themselves talked about
particularly if what is said tends to in
crease their popularity

The announ cement made in the Morning
News a few days ago that the county
commissioners had determined to carry in
to effect the recommendations of several
grand juries relative to certain improve
ments was received by the public with
great deal of satisfaction. But what is
the prospect that the recommendations
will be acted upon? In our local columns
yesterday it was stated that there are
many days on which the convict force can
not be worked in the canals and drains
owing to the wet weather. What has the
force been doing when not occupied in the
drains? 1t is stated they could be worked
TO advantage on the roads. Why have
they not been. and Why are they not, work
ed on the roads? One of the recommen-
dations of the grand juries is that the
Meridian road be completed. Nothing has
been done on that road for the reason, II
Is said, that all the rights of way have
not yet. been secured. Have vigorous ef-
forts been made to secure rights of way
that remain to be secured? II not what
reasou'is there that such efforts have not
been made? Is it to be understood that
they cannot be secured. and that the Me-
ridian road is to remain for an indefinite
period in its present unfinished condition ?
The public should have some light on the
| question as to the cause of the delay in
| securings the rights Of way
But is there no other than the Meridian
road that could be worked by the CON
VII ysrh
| canals and drains? What about the Wa
tiers road? That road is said to be in a
! bad condition. 1t is a much Travelled road
| and its improvement would be a public
| benefit. Why have not the convicts been
utilized in improving that road at times
when it was impracticable to work them
| in the canals? These are questions the
! people would like to have answered. II
may be they can be answered satisfactory,
but at present 1t looks from what has ap-
peared in the public prints that a good
deal of the time of the convicts is wasted
and that the public is not getting the
benefit from the chaingang that It should
1t is particularly fortunate that Mr..
John w. Foster, late assistant to Ii Hung
Chang, is al present in Washington. 1t
is reported that the Highlander troubles
| have broken out again. and that laundry
men at the national capital are in fear of
| assassination. Mr.. Fosters late expert

the man for the emergency.

! to further an appeal TO the prejudice of
