Omniscience of Hotel Clerks.

A real good hotel clerk must know ev-
erything, says the Houston Post. He
must be able to read the innermost
thoughts of every guest that comes 20
his house. He must be ready to answer
every question that is asked, whether
concerning railroad trains. predestinari-
anism politics, Jaw, Science, geography,
astronomy, or theologv.
Houston has one of the brightest hotel
clerks in the world He is always affa-
BILE, ready with any kind of information
whatever, and never has to be asked
twice for anything.
Two drummers were sitting in the lobby
of this hotel a few nights ago. and one CT
them was telling the other about the
clerks readiness and said:
an bet you the drinks that, if you
open that newspaper that you have in
your hand, select the first phrase that
meets you eye, and then walk over to
the clerk and say it over to him he will
respond in some way without a moments
hesitation"
The drummer opened the paper bv
chance at a political article, and the first
words he saw were: the greatest good
TO the greatest number" He walked over
TO the clerks desk. leaned his elbow on
IL and said. seriously: THE greatest good
to the greatest number"

Profit in HangIngs.

The last congress passed a law conferr-
Ing criminal jurisdiction upon the new
| United states courts OF the Indian terri
/ tory-the courts in which Buck Kilgore
and william N. Springer are now holding
/ judgeships. There is pending in the cur
/ rent congress bin 10 repeal the act OF
the last congress comforting criminal ju-
| risdiction on these courts And thereby
/ hangs a tale; hanging tale.
IT seems that the original act was passed
through the efforts Of Senator Vest. and
in line with the opinions Of certain officials
OF the department of justice, for the pur-
pose OF putting a check upon one Judge I.
G. Parker. who holds court at Fort Smith.
Ark. Senator Vest declared that Parker
was hanging too many men. and that his
court and the town OF Fort Smith had be-
come notorious by reason of the hangings.
At the time of the passage of the act Judge
Parker had hanged seventy-hve men, and
there was a report to the effect that it was
his ambition to hang one hundred during
his term on the bench. Whenever a man
charged with murder came before Judge
Parker's court, it was pretty well set
tied that he was doomed to the gallows.
The most of Judge Parker's murder cases
came from the Indian territory. The peo-
pie of his own section are as peaceable and
law-abiding as are the people Of any sec
ton Of the country. But the territory was.
and is. fun Of bad men. Most of the Grim
mails from the territory were tried at Fort
Smith. Those that were not were taken
to Paris, Tex. Paris has acquired some
thing OF a reputation for hangings, but
not nearly so great one as Fort Smith
The holding of the courts for the trial Of
Indian territory murder cases, and the fire.
quent hangings, are said TO have been a
source of considerable revenue to Fort
Smith and Paris. 1t is calculated that the
lawyers. witnesses. constables. and sight
seers who visited Fort Smith during the
run of a year while Judge Parker's court
was al its best left not less than $3.50, 600
with the merchants, hotel-keepers and 9TH
ers.
When Vests bill came along and took
the Indian territory business away from
Judge Parkers court and the court at
Paris, there was big dropping off in the
trade of the towns. The merchants and
others discovered that it was a big thing,
commercially, to have two or three hang
ings a month, and practically continuous
term of the court They, therefore, petit
toned their representatives. in congress
to have the old order Of things restored.
Congressman Culberson of Texas, repre-
ansas. representing Forth Smith, are. in
response to the petitions, working night
and day to have the Vest act repealed and
Fort Smith and Paris given back their
hangings.

4 representative Democrat.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem.).

We believe that the Kentucky demo-
cratic convention win not only indorse
Secretary Carlisle's services, but that it
will present him as a candidate for the
democratic nomination. That he is the
choice of a great portion of the democ-
racy the country over for the presiden-
tial nomination is as certain as il is
that he would be a very strong candi-
date. He represents rs distinctly as any
other man the principles for which the
democratic party must contend II IL hopes
TO win the great battle IN November.
Whether the party shall call upon Mr..
Carlisle TO be its leader or shall name
some other man for that position the
thing of greatest importance IS that both
the platform and the candidate shall
declare and embody true democratic prin-
ciples.

with whom Mr.. Crisp will have a fight

debates between himself and Mr.. Crisp

was not appearing before the people in
the role of a candidate Mr.. duBignon
is an avowed candidate, and has so an
nounced. His views on the financial
questionable issue on which the fight will
be made and won-are squarely- and un-
equivocally in favor of sound money.

Not n EinnI necision.

Mr.. Carlisles friends do not interpret his
letter, announcing his purpose not to be a
candidate for the democratic nomination
for President as meaning that he will not
permit his name to go before the Chicago
convention. His letter means, they say,
that he will not engage in a scramble for
the nomination, but would accept it if Of
fered to him. This may be the interpre-
tation that Mr.. Carlisle intended to have
placed upon his letter. But whether it is
or not, it is quite certain that the demo-
Gratis of Kentucky regard him as a presi-
Dental candidate. and will send delega-
ton to Chicago with instructions to use
its best efforts to bring about his nominal
ton
Mr.. Carlisle is not so anxious for the
nomination as he is to have a sound money
declaration in the democratic platform. He
will devote all of his spare time between
now and the meeting of the national con-
vention to the securing of declaration Of
that kind. He will make no effort to get
the nomination. If the kind of a platform
he thinks would be for the best interest s
of the country should be adopted he would,
no doubt, be glad to have the nomination.
1t is worthy of notice. however that in
all parts of the country there is cropping
out a belief that Mr.. Cleveland will be Of
fered the nomination. and that he will be
the democratic candidate on a sound
money platform. But even if Mr.. Cleveland
would accept the nomination. which is by
No means certain IL is doubtful if the na
tional convention would regard it as advis-
able to disregard the third term precedent.
There are thousands of democratic admir-
ers of Mr.. Cleveland, however. who would
not vote 10 give him third term.

about Nansen and his discovery.

The Talk of Harrison.

The Washington Post, which paper is
supposed to be pretty well acquainted with
the views of the party leaders at the ma
tional capital looking towards the out
come of tho St. Louis convention says:
Every day adds force to the hypothesis
that Harrison will eventually become a
factor in the republican equation. Vino is
there, save Harrison. to combine the hos
tile forces and make a fight, with any pros
pect of victory. against McKinley?'
1t is rather astonishing how often talk of
Gen. Harrison. as the probable nominee of
the republican party, is heard among the
republican leaders and appears in the
newspapers? 1t is not at all improbable
that he will be the republican nominee. If
Gov. Mckinley does not get a majority of
the delegates pledged to him before the
meeting of the ST. Louis convention it will
be about impossible for him to get the
nomination. He is counting on being nom
mated on the first ballot. If he fails on
that ballot it is almost certain that he will
be beaten. The opposition to him would
find it difficult to unite on any other one
of the avowed candidates. What would
be more natural then than that it should
unite on Gen. Harrison. OF course no one
can predict with any degree of certainty
what changes will take place between now
and the meeting of the convention. but
just at present Gen. Harrison is a prom
ising probability.

Speaker Reed wishes to impress it upon
all whom it may concern that whether
or not he can be President of the United
States. he can at least be a philosopher.
Speaking of the result in New Hampshire
the other day, he said: 1.-The uncertain
ties Of life give greatest zest to our ex-
periences. 1t would be a very stupid
world if everything turned out as ex-
peeted.'' The speaker probably INDUCES
the hope that the Mckinley managers
have read and properly digested the sage
observation.

Its silence and its tears
It's lonely, yearning years,

convention, and where he made the welkin
ring with his lamentations while kick

senator denied himself to correspondents

Hauker,s queer Fad.

Nearly every rich man has his fad, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. 1t makes
no difference how busy he is or what big
deals he has on hand, he will invariably
find time to crafty his taste for certain
things which are known as fads.
A couple of gentlemen. who were on their
way home to dinner the other day, saw
well known banker standing among
motley crowd that always attends the
cheap plug horse sales which are held on
Jefferson and Market streets. Being sur
prised at seeing him in the crowd, the
men stopped, and, placing themselves
where they could observe the bankers ac-
tons, quietly awaited developments. They
had not long to remain in suspense, for in
a few moments a cheap nag" was led
out and passed in review before the crowd.
Quick as thought the old man stepped out
and in a loud voice cried out:
I'm bid So"
The crowd stood awed for a few sec
onds and then large man with He
brew countenance bid $l1 The old gentle
man then bid 49, This settled it for the
horse was not worth more than S11 at
the outside and the bony animal was
knocked off to him. The two men watched
to see what the banker would do with his
purchase. and were surprised to hear him
tell a negro to put the horse in the stable
and feed him well, as he would sell him
the next day. After making these ar
rangements he quickly left the place and
went a once to his bank.
What on earth did he want with that
Jack rabbits? queried one of the men.
Before the man addressed could reply the
auctioneer, who had been standing be-
hind them, tuned in and said:
"Oh he don't want him. He will sell
him tomorrow. He does that every day
or So He never keeps any of the horses
ne buys, hut nearly always sells them the
next day, and usually loses money on the
deal. But that's not my lookout and he
here for several years, and we all look
for him now. He's a good thing, he is"

that the opening Of the mints to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /
would not drive out the gold, and in the
next breath they say, let gold go out if it
wants to. we can get along well enough
without it. Mr.. Crisp tells how the United
States pulled gold back from France by
changing the ratio from 10 to to 16 to l.

would not go out if the ratio was estab-
lshed at 10 TO I.
