CARLISLE DOESN'T WANT TO RUN.


A Richmond (Va paper has printed
this interview with Secretary Carlisle
81 said to Mr.. Carlisle that many Demo
carts regarded him as a strong man for
President Some regarded him as the
only legitimate successor to Mr.. Cleye-
land.
!" Well, notwithstanding the fact that
the Presidency is the greatest honor that
can be bestowed, replied the secretary,
I do not want the office. 1 have seen
too much of the hard work attached to
it. The responsibility is not only ire
mendOus, but the work multiplies and
becomes more exacting every year. A
man must have an iron constitution to
stand it. | am sincere when [ say [ do
not want to be president. l will certainly
do nothing toward getting the nomina-
tion.
''Mr. Carlisle then went on to say that
not since the government was founded
has any administration had such trying
times except in war, as this administra-
tion has to contend with. The lpanic
of 1913, the business depressions of 1894
the tariff bill, the Chicago riots, the
threatened foreign complications, to say
nothing of matters of less Importance

" How about the third term talk?
asked Many people are exressing de-
sire to see Mr.. Cleveland nominated
again in 1896
AS close as I am to the President,
said Mr.. Carlisle" he has never referred
to that subject in my presence. know
no more about it than you do I"
In speaking of the political outlook
Secretary Carlisle is reported as saying:
THE Democratic outlook is much bet
ter than it was a few months ago. The
sound money Democrats are doing good
work now, and their work is sure to tell.
have highly gratifying reports from
many parts of the West, and if the sound
money Democrats in those Southern
States where the free silverites are said
to be strong would only organize and be-
stir themselves they would find it not
difficult matter to convert the majority
of Intelligent men who have gone wrong
on the financial question. Sound money
IS going to win. The tide has turned
we'll that way. Our party has this to en-
courage them. We are having our con-
test on the money question now. Wo al
ready have it well under way, and by the
time the national Democratic convention
meets it will be settled one way or the
other, while the Republicans have the
fight yet to make. The Republicans have
been dodging more than usual. They
are trying to straddle. But that will not
do when their national convention
meets it will be too late then. Look at
their Presidential candidates. One of
them unwisely committed himself to
free silver and the rest have either tried
to straddle or like ex-President Harrison,
have had nothing to say. Then, too, the
Republicans are in bad fix on the tariff
Some of the leaders want the Mckinley
tariff back; others are for low tariff
Some want to agitate it and some want
to let it alone That question is going
to give them a great deal of trouble.
Yes, | think the Democrats are in much
better shape today than the Republicans,
and by next summer we will be in fine

nation

A we'll kown firm of bankers have
just made profitable Investment
Some time ago man who had defrauded
them of a large sum of money was taken
into custody, convicted and sentenced to
long term of penal servitude
AS may be imagined, the prison fare
did not agree with u man who had by
means of fraud lived on the fat of the
land. The change affected him in many
ways, but he complained more partic-
ularly of the effect the food had upon his
teeth. They were not numerous or in
good condition when he was sentenced
and as they rapidly became worse he ap-
Piled to the governor of the prison for a
new set
He was told that the State did not sup
ply prisoners with artificial teeth, and
at the first opportunity he wrote to the
banking firm in question Offering if they
would send him q new set, to give them
some valuable information Thereupon
the bankers, thinking the offer might be
genuine one, sent the governor of the
prison a check for S2j and asked him to
provide the convict with set of artificial
teeth
In due course tie convict kept his
promise, and sent the bankers certain
information, by means of which they
we're enabled to recover no less than $500
of which they had been defrauded.
They naturally regarded this as the
best investment they have ever made,

The tussoek moth is making great raw

be the worst tree scourge that has yet
put in an appearance. Men, women and
children are fighting it in Providence
and the newspapers of Massachusetts,
where it has just begun to appear, are
calling upon the people to enlist in the
war. The insect multiplies with aston
ishing rapidity and unless it is attacked
about as soon as it appears the struggle
against it is hopeless. Whether it has ap-
peared in Portland yet we know not, but
it is sure to get here later if it .hasn Z
