t>icate, aad that it was very repre-
hensible in them to be scolding
like Sophronisco's da~ughter-in-
law, because others were looking
on with an anxious, impatient,
wish twas 1" look upon their
co%untenances; that it was true
some had larger pieces than others
but that resulted from the fact Of
some having made mere industri-
Gus use of printers ink and were
better advertised; that to those
who we're looking on he said you
do your cause no good by such
unseemly conduct, wait a time
with patience-your turn will
surely come" Whether the Gov
ernor talked as suspicioned, or
whether his and Mr.. Cars report
did the work the result was that
peace has since reigned. Wheth-
err peace will still continue to reign
cannot be safely predicted.

SHE'D a little dorneck, not a large
one by any means, but enough to
indicate that ~protracted peace be-
gan TO be irksome.
Again we thought we had an is
sue in the free silver question, not
an issue of difference but III the
way of a hobby in which success
would depend upon dexterity in
riding it. Alasl Alasl That is no
more. 1t is not difficult to discov-
what cooled the ardor in the
republican camp. The Globe
Democrat is a sort of Delphic
oracle redivius and it has recently
free silver republicans some
sharp swipes across the
snout, telling them to go to their
corners and lie down, keep still
and cease pouring their insane
rawlings into ears Of refined tastes
that free silverism is like chol-
era or smallpox, to be quarantined
and stamped out. OF course that
was sufficient for an orthodox re-
publican. 1t is not so easy, how
ever, to divine the cause with the
democrats. The Agricultural col
lege professors send out infected
chinch bugs which the farmers
distribute in the fields. The in
fected college bugs infect the
healthy farmers bugs and they
all die. Some think that Mr..
Cleveland, or Mr.. Carlisle, or Mr..
or Mr.. Whitney or some
body else has been distributing
infected silver bugs with fatal re-
1t is true that Brother
Kelly puts in q little plate matter
occasionally andalso that he keeps
standing "16 to l or bust" and
"bimetallism or bankruptcy" but
they are marginal references. The
republican now and then strikes a
free silver match but the light is
short lived.
You must understand that this
only applies to we leaders whose
business it is to keep ourselves in
proper position to catch an office.
The populists, and a great many
Of the common herd whose only
is to vote, talk quite loudly
about free silver, but they have
no conception of the amount of
discretion necessary for a business
politician.
There are a few who claim to
believe that the race issue will be
prominent, but after a careful di-
agnosis l conclude that the only
race issue will be the race when
the issue of campaign Doodle be-
gins.
Because we have trouble about
arranging an issue, you must not
believe that we are destitute of
politics. We have politics and
politics. National politics; Ter
politics; county politics;
district politics and person.
Al politics, of the latter an album
lance. just now, among republi-
cans and some democrats the
question is anything to beat
He seems to be regarded
as the marplot, more than any
one, responsible for destroy
ing the harmonious combination
which run things from 'S5 to 80.
He will have to keep his hand on
.he helm, his eye on the pinnacle,
aud be sure that every ropo runs
tree in handling his canvas or he
will be caught in the trough" for
he will make mistakes as every
one does, and every mistake has
gigilant eyes watching it
The contest. Gust like a wound
