dence In all matters and inherited many of
the traits which made the deceased so

Tidal waves in Politics.
From Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd

Great political sweeps, or tidal waves"
have almost always come in American pol
tiles when large number of voters in
one OF the leading parties have stayed
away from the polls. The republican
stay-at-home was the direct cause Of Har-
rlson's severe defeat in 1892. and IL was the
democratic stay-at-home two years later
who brought such tribulation 10 the democ-
racy. The election statistics prove these
facts. Now, no one is expected to stay
at home next Tuesday, and therefore. 1t
might be reasoned, sweep" for either
Mckinley or Bryan, in the country as a
whole, is very improbable. Yet every one,
apparently, expects that one SIDE or the
other will win by immense majorities.
Such an outcome. while both possible and
probable, will be unprecedented. under the
circumstances. since the era OF acute war
issues.

what's Up In Turkey.
From the New Orleans States Dem.)

The active purchase of arms in Turkey
is construed by the representatives of the
powers on the ground, to mean one of
two things. Either the sultan is prepar-
ing for war or he intends to allow his
blood-thirsty subjects full license to COM
nit all kinds of devilment at the expense
of the Armenians. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that the time is not far distant when
the sultan will get to the end of his rope
and be hauled upywith a round turn.

A Kicking Pnnulist.

Mr.. N. A. Dunning. formerly editor of
the populist national organ, now a resi-
dent of Washington, has sent out an ap-
peal to the populists to cut loose from the
democratic party. Mr.. Dunning has be-
gun kicking too late. He ought to know,
and doubtless does know, that nothing he
can say at this stage OF the campaign will
cause single populist to vote otherwise
than as he had made up his mind several
days ago to do. 1t is a fair inference,
therefore, that all Mr.. Dunnihg desires is
to bring himself into notice.
Very little has been heard of Mr.. Dun
ming In this campaign. He was at one
time a man of some Importance in pop
ulist councils but bigger men than he
have taken hold of the populist organiza-
ton, and he has been forgotten, practical
ly. He objects, of course, to being neg
lected and forgotten, and the little differ
ences that have cropped out among the
populist affords him opportunity to
show that, though he may be dead polit-
ically, he has not yet been put in his po-
liucal grave.
He charges that the populist party has
been betrayed and sold out by the men
who were expected to lead II, and that it's
principles and policies are being wholly
ignored by the democrats in the states in
which fusion of the democrats and popu-
lists has been accomplished. He says
some hard things about Senators Butler
and Allen of his own party and Senator
Jones Of the democratic party.
| But what difference does it make what
he says? Who of the Bryan leaders cares
whether he continues to write appeals to
his populists friends or subsidies and drops
back into the obscurity in which he seems
to nave appeared to much better advan-
| tage in the eyes of the few who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance than he ever
die when he was directing the national
newspaper organ OF the popullst party.
| The election is only few days OF, and,
in that time, be could not get a hearing
4 from the populists. however many appeals
to them to cut loose from the democratic
lparty he might make. The great major
ity OF populists. have forgotten him, and
those who remember him. are not Dkely
to be influenced by anything he says.

A C1incher.

A clever young teacher OF class Of
children, between the ages of 10 and IA,
varied the monotony Of their studies

authors. says Harper's Magazine. Then

what the children had really marked
learned and inwardly digested," of her
subject matter. she planned for a certain
day a discussion by the class of whom
they considered the greater author, Scott
or Dickens. The children at first were
a little backward in expressing their
views, but gradually warmed to the dis
CUSTOM Dicken' greatness grew TO CO.
lossal proportions. owing to the quick
wittedness and appreciation of a small
admirer with a ready tongue, and con-
sequently the stanchness OF Scotts ad-
herents begin to waver. till in burst of
contagious enthusiasm, one small maid
sprang to the rescue. "But, Miss An
thony, Dickens can't be, for, don't you
know, men always say, Great Scottp and
never Great Dickens!

The outcome Of the Broxton bridge
lynching case at Aiken, s. c.. an ac-
uuittal. cannot be said to be greatly CON
ducive to the good name Of the state. Ac-
cording to the testimony published in the
daily papers of Charleston and Columbia,
the state made out a remarkably strong
case. There seemed to be a complete
chain OF evidence, which. had the colors
of the parties to the suit been reversed.
would undoubtedly have been considered
sufficient. However, an advance has been
made. 1t has been shown that the Of
flcers of the law in South Carolina can
be depended upon to do their duty in the
prosecution of such cases. Whether con-
vlctions are obtained or not rests with the
juries; and there is never any telling
what petty jury will do.

A story of lawyer Brooke.

1.-THE late Col William B. Manu." says
the Philadelphia Record, was fond of
telling a good story at the expense of
Charles Brooke, the well-known criminal
lawyer of New York. Col. Mann as district
attorney was prosecuting a murder case
in which Mr.. Brooke was counsel for the
defense. Circumstantal evidence was
strong against the prisoner. The district
attorney produced in evidence a pair of
boots of Scotch make belonging to the
prisoner, which, it was proven, lifted eX-
actly the footprints left in the snow by
the murderer near the scene of the crime
In submitting the boots in evidence Mr.
Mann called attention to the several odd
features of their construction, and added
that he had looked all over town for pair
like them, but without success. Mr.. Brooke
asked that he be allowed to keep one OF
the boots over night. He thought he could
find pair like them. The boot was turn
ed over to him, and at the opening OF
court next day he produced another pair
of boots Identical in every way with those
belonging to the prisoner. The man, how
ever, was finally convicted. After it was
all over Mann said to Brooke: See here,
Charlie, where did you find those boots? l
called at all the big shops IN town, but
couldn't find them Neither could l. said
Brooke. SO had them made over night. "

Money lenders have strange experiences
as well as other people, says the Phila-
delphia Record. one of these brokers,
whose office is in the southern part of the
city, had an eccentric customer recently
who wanted to borrow a hundred dollars.
The man was known, the money was pro-
duced, and the necessary paper stipulat-
ing a return with interest in ten days was
signed. Two days after the time had ex-
pired the tardy customer called on the
money lender and asked him to get the
note, as he wished to settle. He had evil
IDENTIFY been drinking heavily, and there
was a wild CLEAN in his eyes. The broker
produced the paper. Great was his hor-
ror, however, when the man leveled a re-
volver at his head and exclaimed in hoarse
tones Eat that note or III drop you'll"
With trembling hands the broker forced
the paper into his mouth and was soon
on the exterior of the important document
Having been obeyed the eccentric debtor
then made his exit. Imagine the money
lenders surprise when the same man called
on him two days later and paid up with
liberal interest, and with many apologies
for his delay He remembered nothing
of his rash deed. 1-
