Queer Suit for Damages.

Richard TAFT, of Rochester, N. 2,
has begun suit to recover $1,000 from
Bernard Deutschler, a barber, who he
alleges maliciously shaved off his lux
uriant mustache. TAFT says that he
visited Deutsch1er's shop last Saturday
and asked for a shave. Being tired he
fell into doZe under the soft ministra-
tons of the tonsorial artist. When he
awoke he found to his dismay that he
had been given a "clean shave and no
mistake. Until that time he had worn
a fine mustache, long, yellow and silky.
It had been the result Of years OF culti-
walton, and it will take years to grow
another like it. In fact, a new growth
will never be as soft as the one re-
moved by the cruel razor. An angry
alteration followed the discovery, but
the barber, TAFT claimed. only laughed
at his sorrow. He then consulted with
his friends and they advised him to
sue. TAFT says he can prove actual
pecuniary damages. He was keeping
company with wealthy young lady.
whom he intended to marry some day.
His yellow mustache he was sure was q
most potent factor in his suit, and now,
having lost 1t, he feels that his chances
have greatly diminished.

The Real Cause.

From Chicago Chronicle: The re-
turns from the late state elections indi-
cate that the enormous republican ma
jorities were not caused by the mere
failure of democrats to vote nor by the
superior management of the republican
campaign bosses. The republicans
were as much surprised as the demo-
Gratis at their tremendous victories
They were more surprised than the
democrats last year at the numerical
proportions of their Landslide" major
tiles.
Evidences in all directions tend to
show that for the last two years a
power has been active in American poll
tics beneath the surface, operating In
unseen ways and accomplishing the
most important results by organized
methods of the most secret character.
No ordinary cause relating to the tariff,
the finances. the panic, the currency,
the labor question, any public interest
of the classes or the masses was suffi-
cient-nor were all causes originating
in these questions suf1icient-to pro-
duce the enormous preponderance of
the vote in the various states last year
and this year.
The two political parties in this coun-
try, on all questions dividing them
heretofore, are not unevenly balanced
In war times. when party enthusiasm
was high, the proportional vote of the
republicans and democrats were more
nearly equal than 1t was in 1894 and
1895, when the issues were of minor
importance and no results of vast mag
nitude were involved.
Without the evidence of facts, show
ing directly the interference Of pow
erful secret party in the election, there
is enough to prove the existence of Sc
cret movements by which the ballot
bog was seriously affected. Undoubt-
eIIy the organization known as the ga.

P. A." whatever name the initials may
represent. is more solid organization
with greater numbers, with greater Sc
crecy and craft in its operations, than
the old Knownothing order or any pre-
vious order with similar objects. The
impenetrable obscurity in which il
moves, its entire separation from all
other social and political forces, the
earnestness and energy of the hidden
spring of it's fanaticism, are without 8
precedent in American history. The
voting force of this organization is i'm
mense. It's main power, however, is in
its thorough discipline. It's members
vote whether other citizens vote or not
They have no of years. Their motto
is eternal vigilance. They throng in
full numbers to the ballot box when
ever it is opened for votes, whether the
election is local or general, of little or OF
great Importance. The A. P. A. vote
is uniformly given to the republican
candidates. The republicans might
have carried the election of 1894 on the
issues of the panic and hard times.
There was no such issue this year.
The democrats were beaten this year,
whether standing on a silver or an hon
est money platform. Influences separ-
ated from these questions and others
that divide party and factions created
the republican majorities.

Thfs shows an increase of 40, 491 for
the time included in the report, which
Is considerably more than so per cent.
All that is said about the origin of this
addition to our population is that Italy
and Russia sent their full share of the
increase" Italian immigrants last
year numbered one-eighth of the whole;
ana Russian one-tenth Of the whole.
AT this rate of increase immigration
is likely to reach 400, 900 for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1895, and ending
June 80, 1896. 1t does not seem posi-
Die for the volume of immigration ever
to become again what it has been. In
1882 immigration numbered 1892; in
1881 the number was 623, S04; in other
years 1t was above 100000.
This great number of newcomers was
attracted by the reports of prosperous
times, high wages and cheap lands. 1t
Is probable, also, that during the years
or highest immigration the best classes
or immigrants came-those having
some means. who would begin immedi.
ateiy some productive occupation.
With the ebb of the tide people with
less individual means, more ready to
work at low wages and more difficult
to AmericaniZe, were added to the pop
ulation. Even this view has another
side. In the years Of largest immigra-
ton large proportion of the alien new
corners were imported by mining COM
panies and other corporations employ
ing cheap labor to the exclusion of Ia
Dor at fair American wages. This i'm
ported cheap labor was brough here by
the highly protected monopolists who
clamored for high tariff as in the in
terest of working men, while they were
constantly discharging employees, who
were replaced by aliens accustomed to
wages Of but a few cents a day, who
regarded American high wages as the
opportunity of acquiring in few years
what to them would be boundless
wealth.
The newcomers soon learned the les
son of strikes and organization to ad-
vance wages. But on the whole, their
labor was cheap compared to that
which they had displaced. The prob
lem Of assimilating this vast mass of
foreign population is yet before the
country, or rather it is affording it's
own solution year by year as time

Lizzie Taylor, Who Was Lately Adj

Miss Lizzie Katherine Taylor of AL
bia, Iowa. has been finishing her
musical education in Chicago. The
sweetness and charm Of her manner
has just received unique recognition
from friends in her native state. At
the Iowa state fair, recently held at Des
Msines, Miss Taylor was awarded the
palm of beauty among sixty competi-
tors Many-indeed, most-of the
young women were entered in the con-
test without their knowledge, enthusi-

child she gave evidence of possessing
much musical talent and her parents
determined that it should not be hidden
under bushel. Local instruction was
given the young musician in the pri-

sent to Chicago, where for several years
she took private lessons. Now Miss

the post of one of the humblest, but yet
also one OF the most desperate, OF its
subordinates to the dictatorship. He
became the sovereign of Tammany be-
cause he had fairly earned the sceptre.
He developed in many ways, but espe-
c1ally in self-control, as he mounted. In
1865 he was, If not a rough himself, the
associate of reughs. In the early sixties
he was, by trade, when he chose to ply
1t, mechanic. Twenty years later he
was receiving the distinguished con-
sideration of the officers of the very rail-
road company whose engines he had
once helped to make and drive. Liv-
ing among men who were DULLES by ma
ture, and to whom politics meant the
associations of the saloon, and the
evasion and even the direct violation
OF the laws, he disclosed a courage
which none of his associates could
match, and power Of self-assertion
which none OF them could gainsay. But
by 1885 he had become man of silence,
speaking only when he found it neces-
sary to speak, and had brough his pas
sions under rare control. He had mas
tered, too, some of the conventionalities
which give at least hint of refined as
soclat1ons. He had learned to govern
by moral force, instead Of by the fist.
He had discovered the power that is in
look. word, rather than brutal
shoutings, and rough and tumble ex-
ploits on the pavement. He had
learned that if he was to master Tam
many he must first be the master of
Richard Croker's weaker nature. He
knew that within Tammany, or indi-
rectfy associated with it, were men who
cared for the rough only to use him at
caucuses and on election day, and who
otherwise shrank from association with
him; and thus he became ambitious.

Story of a $4,000 Check.

A recent Republican scandal relates
to check for SIC, 900 given to the In
diana campaign fund in 1892 by John
Wanamaker, postmaster general in
President Harrison's cabinet. The story
Is that Wanamaker visited Indianapo-
lis in 1892 to confer with the Repub-
Iican managers of Harrisons campaign.
Harrison was candidate for re-elec-
ton. The Indianapolis men told Wan
amaker that they needed funds and he
gave them check for $4,000 on their
promise to refund the money.
II Harrison had been elected there
would have been no trouble about this
transaction. Wanamaker would have
remained in the cabinet and would new
er have demanded restitution. If a
change in the postmaster generalsh1p
had been made, his successor would
have seen that he was reimbursed. At
any rate the Indiana politicians would
have had the cream and juice of fed
eral patronage and could have per-
formed without trouble their promise
to repay Wanamaker.
But the result was disastrous to Har-
rison, to the Indiana ring of spoiis
hunters and to all who expected to
profit by federal patronage if Harri-
son should be elected. There was re-
fusal all around to pay Wanamaker the
amount of his check, and quarrel and
scandal of three years duration has re-
suited
This story had recent addendum.
The Indiana politicians suddenly or
gan1zed movement and raised the
money for Wanamaker which had been
three years in default. Mr.. Harrison is
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation next year. This affair had to be
settled. He could not show his face
before the people with what was al
most a personal debt in the campaign of
1892 still remaining unpaid.
This is quite fragrant scandal, but
not as altogether bad as that involved
in the unpaid debt of the Republican
national committee, which has been
hung up" and has increased in
amount since 1892 The Republican
national convention is offered at auc-
ton to the city which will contribute
enough to pay this prohigate debt as
basis for entering into competition, and
will pay the greatest sum afterward
to defray the expenses of the conven-
ton and of the committee for next
years campaign.
Mr.. Harrison has begun by paying an
incidental debt of his campaign of 1892.
Why does not that committee take the
hint and collect money to pay it's old
debt by mulct on the candidates en-
tering for next years race?

TROLLEY ROADS IN ENoLANp.
British Censsrvatisn YIsldiar-cssy owH
TIA We

tho Way.
John Bull has at length come to the
realization that there are such things
as electric roads In the world, ana that
possibly they may be good thing. Al
American syndicate has secured tas
franchise for an electric road In the
city OF Coventry. which has about Co.
coo population. and the work is goiag
ahead.
An experimental road OF six miles
was put down in the suburbs OF the
city OF Leeds. and the city fathers e
various cities and towns have been
junketed" over to Leeds and intro
duced to the mysteries of the American
trolley system. The Coventry autheri-
ties were the first to yield to its seduc-
tons.
The method OF building street rail-
ways in England greatly lessons the
cost OF installation to the promoting
capitalist The city puts down ana
owns the tracks or permanent way.
The operating company leases the
track for twenty-one years, and at the
expiration Of the lease it may be re-
newed, or the city may buy the plant
and rolling stock at an appraised valu-
alton.
The Coventry road has eight miles of
track, which is all single track, but
with long sidinge. The estimated cost
OF rolling stock, poles, wires and power
station is $3.50. 900. Everything is to be
furnished from America, even To the
poles for the wires. It was originally
supposed that English poles would DO,
but when put up they were found un-
equal to the strain OF supporting the
wires, and the necessary poles had to
be ordered from Philadelphia
II the innovation takes with the
English public there will be q pot Of
money for the American syndicate,
which will probably be called upon to
put In similar roads in nearly all the
English cities. The conservatism Of
the English people on this subject
seems to bs as pronounced today as IL
was In the time when Citizen George
francis Train put down his first tram
way In Parliament street, London, and
was then compelled to take up his rails
Dy the outraged and indignant public.
The continental cities have taken
more kindly to the electric railroad
system, and in fact the first trolley
road In the world was in the streets OF
Berlin This road had a trolley rid
ing on wire at the side of the street,
with flexible wire connection to the
car. The upward pressure system with
the familiar trolley pole OF today was
later invention.
A firm OF English electricians have
recently tackled the conduit electric
road problem, and produced something
In the nature OF a small tunnel and
motor therein. with projection which
reaches through the slot and pushes the
street car along.
