The Crafty PopuIists.

The Populist leaders have shown them
selves much sharper politicians than the
Democrats whom they deluded They
took the meat and left the bare bone to
their partners in the fusion
The Democrats lost from 1892 every
thing in New York, New Jersey, Connec-
ticut, Delaware, Maryland, West Virgin
ia, Wisconsin, and slice each from Ohio
and Michigan.
What did they gain? The barren salts
faction Of minority electors in Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, New
ada, Utah and Washington. Only 50 in
all, and good for nothing
But the willy Populists not only get the
Governors and State and local officers in
most of these States, but Senators from
four in the West and others in Southern
States heretofore Democratic. Worse
still, they give Governor and perhaps
Senator to the Republicans in North
Carolina.
Those long whiskered and wild eyed
politicians were not born yesterday

cratic allies into camp and stripped then

The dissatisfaction with the workings
of the Australian ballot law in this State
has been crystalized into memorial to
ask the next legislature to materially
amend and simplify the law. 1t is pro-
posed that the New York method of vot-

Good Advice.

Busy men are generally the most pune
tual, for they realize the truth of the old
adage ''time is money! and therefore, ARE
careful neither to waste it for themselves
nor cause other people to do so. The
want of punctuality in business man is,
perhaps, more noticeable fault than in
woman living at home, but even in her
it is very serious defect. 1t is perfectly
easy, too, to remedy it if only you will
set your mind to do so. You, perhaps,
have way of always being little late
for meals-is it not due to your allowing
yourself rather too little time to get
ready for them? There is no reason then
why you should not start your prepara-
tons little earlier. You are quite right to
like to make yourself fresh and dainty be-
fore sitting down to meal, so don't put
yourself in the wrong by not doing this at
the right time. Boston Traveller.

Sweet Music.

The sweetest music of the whole after
election chorus is the whir and whizz of
the mill wheels, the clang and gong of the
founderies as they start up all over the
land, either running all the time, taking
bigger orders, or opening their doors after
the long siege of closing up. 1t is eloquent
of the confidence and hope of the people
for renewed prosperity, of rejoicing that
the spectre that threatened prosperity
and progress has been forever buried. In
the bright sunshine of the present omen,
brighter times throughout the land, with
Republican prudence, activity, sound
ideas, at the head of the nation, the Unit
ed States of America starts out anew upon
her course of peaceful conquest to the
world. Boston Record.

To Revive Greenbackism.

This is the way Professor Bateman
sizes up the future of the Popocrat party
''The financial fight of the Populists
must hereafter be made upon the old
greenback idea of a full legal tender pa
per money based upon the entire wealth
of the country. The silver ques
ton upon which this campaign has been
fought is very largely fake issue. Even
if we could get free coinage the same
conditions would remain and similar re-
suits would follow 1t would simply
enlarge the circle of men who control the
metals from which money is made

Pay Your Bills Promptly.

An old time newspaper man says: ''No
sensible man should or ever does get
angry because a man duns him for his
money. dun is not an impeachment of
subscribers integrity, but is simply an
outpouring of a publishers necessities
For instance, 1000 men owe a man from
81 to $40; he has to dun them in order to
pay his expenses. Instead of getting angry
and stopping his paper because the pub
Usher asks what is due, the subscriber
should thank the editor for waiting so
patiently, and pay up like man. -

lumber cut in Maine. l believe that more
lumber will be felled this writer than has
