His Supporters.

Washington, April 8.-Notwithstand-
Ing his letter given to the public Sun
day night, Secretary Carlisle is looked
upon as candidate for the democratic
nomination for president. One of the
secretary's most intimate friends said:
'Mr. Carlisle was never candidate for
any Office. It is not his method. His
letter simply says he will not seek the
place, but places himself in the hands
of his friends. He has always done
this, and his conduct in this matter is
In harmony with his past performances
Mr.. Carlisle wants his state to indorse
him for president, and Kentucky will
do 1T. The secretary will be candi-
date before the Chicago convention,
and we hope TO see him nominated"

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
National Political Lines Not Drawn in

National Political Lines Not Drawn In
Many Instances.
Chicago, April S.-Municipal cleo
lions were held Monday in all towns
of Michigan except Detroit and Port
Huron, in Cleveland, and most Ohio
cities except Cincinnati, in some of the
cities of Iowa, and in scattered towns
in Minnesota, in several cities of Con-
necticut, in few towns in Illinois, in
North Dakota towns and in Montana.
In almost all the contests local issues
were to the fore, and national political
lines in many instances were not
drawn. In some Ohio and Michigan
cities the democrats made gains over
last fall, while in others considerable
republican gains are shown.

The Acantf's Tramp.

The tramp was sleeping in the
corne" of Nashs fountain of life
with one eye on the door, watt hing
for a generous candidate tc come
along, when two old codgers began
to talk politics. Neither of them
knew more of the subject than a
nog knows of book keeping, but
they waxed warmer and warmer
over the subject until each of the m
told truth by calling the other a
liar Then hey got up and fought
and took a drina and started off,
arm in arm to look for more
trouble. The tramp figured it out
this way. The majority of people
who talk politics know very little
about their theme and, standing at
d bar, they take drink on some
other fellows money, assert their
convictions, take another, shout a
little louder, take another, yell and
prance around the floor and then,
in frenzy of slammed disgust,
rush off to find another sucker.
If they, like the old men, would
fight each other, using dynamite
ms tead of their fists, politics would
be purer, better officers would be
elected and the country would gain
more than their funeral expenses.
When this election is over the
tramp is going 20 invest his cam
paign boz die in straight jackets
IL which to enclose defeated candi
dates to keep them from kicking
themselves to death. If he has
any ything left over he will buy shoe
horns for the successful candidates
for use in putting on their hats.
If he can solicit contributions tC
the cause, he will build home for
the care of political heelers.

The tramp is a polititian of the

bill from Paddy Haney and rolled
it round the cork Of the Acantha' S

that he would bet $50 that Bill

The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter said on the 295h of the
wool trade: While the movement
of WOO in Boston the past week
has been smaller than in the PEE
vious one, sales in New York and
Philadelphia show a su5stant' al
gain, bringing the aggregate sales
for the three markets over 1,300,-
coo pounds in excess of the pre-,
vious week, the principal increase
being in foreign wool. The story
of the Boston market is one of
firn ness on the part of holders
and uneasiness on the part OF
buyers, who find the outlook for
orders is not as clear as it could
be wished, and they naturally
hesitate to buy heavily o. the raw
material. Manufa, FRS. while
defering their purchases until
after election, are watching the
market very closely. In New york
and Philadelphia an active market
is reported, Territory wo l COM

ImpOrtatiOns Of Wool.

Free trade in the raw material
of wooden manufactures means
nearly double the, quantity of for
igl wool used here, to the detri-
nent of American wool, and Just
double the amount of gold sent
abroad to pay for it, The extra
$26, ,8l8, S93 shipped to foreign
farmers would have served much
better purpose had it been dis
trlbuted among American sheep
raisers. 1t would have helped our
own people wonderfully IN paying
interest on their farm mortgages,
perhaps in preventing the mortga>
cages of their farms, or in improv
ing them, or IN paying OF a little
Of the village store account. But
farmers must not expect this under
free trade. They can only wai'
patiently until we have republi
can congress and republican
president in 1897, when, we trust
such tariff law will be enac led a.

fact, beyond the reach of most children

large round tin box. big enough for a

eome Of the London squares are
qurint and charming, being mostly laid
out in the Dutch fashion. Golden
square, near Regent street; Red Lion
and Queen squares, in Bloomsbury, are
capital specimens. The first, though
SO close to Eegent street, might be .
dozen miles away; there is welcome
unkemptness; the grass is rank and
Wild; there ore old trees ranged around
its border in q systematic way.
The houses round are picturesque,
because every one is distinct. The
square is given over to commission
agents, merchants and trade generally,
yet within lew years it was place of
genteel residence, like q usual square,
and we find the late Cardinal Wiseman
living in substantial mansion here.
Dickens, it will be remembered, placed
Ralph Nickeiby's house here, which Is
described on the occasion of the party
of Sir Frederick and Sir Mulberry as
having almost palatial apartments aud
the richest furniture. AS we wander
around we are struck with the melan-
choly tone of the inclosure, yet every
thing seems brisk enough, but it be-
longs to the old world.
The square itself is very attractive
and original, with sort of Dutch or
foreign air; we note the fine trees
which shelter it all around in symmet-
rical lines and the Roman warrior sort
of statue in the center, arrayed in full
armor, and representing George II.
The grass and walks are laid out with
a certain free-and-easy carelessness
that is very acceptable and contrasts
with the trim, shaven, soulless treat
ment of modern squares. Altogether q
visit to Golden square will interest.
Berkeley square everyone knows.
Yet it has all extraordinary, sympa-
thetic attraction from its grass and fine
shading old trees. No one, we may be
sure, has noted that these leafy patri-
archs seem to range in two rows down
the middle, like an avenue. The fact
is it was the sdemesne of the lawn in
front of the old Berkeley house, which
stood at the back of Devonshire house.
The mansions around are very fine,
and the iron work, railirgs, ETC., are
all admired and to he admired. There
are some queer things to be told about
squares: for instance, that there was
Gen. Strobe, who had mania for set
ting up statues in squares at his own
expense. We have seen equestrian
statues in Leicester square propped up
with broomsticks, with portions broken
away.-Gentleman' Magazine.

It has been said of the North Ameri-
con Indian that he was never known to
smile, let alone to indulge in good
Caucasian laugh. It is not to be for
gotten, though, that Mr.. Cooper, in his
"Last of the Mohcans," narrates the
contrary. However that may be, there
is every reason to believe that the mod
ern Greek, as he appears in New York,
is a laughterless chap, conceived in
soberness and born to mourn. This is
the present thought of the man who
has paid any degree of attention to the
chestnut venders of the street. The
term of national designation is used
advisedly, for the reason that the major
part of the swarthy dealers in the tasty
nut are from the land OF Homer. An
occasional Indian has wandered into
the trade, thanks to the enterprise OF
some hustling padrone on the lookout
for opportunities to fill long, felt public
wants, be it in chestnuts, fruits or shoe
strings.
