THE EDITOR AND POLITICS

Now that campaign literature is all the
60 the following in behalf of the editor:
will be interesting and perhaps instructives
Editors have made fortunes for more
politicians than they have ever made for
themselves. 1t is frequently the case that
after doing hard work for his party, the ed
itor gets only the CLASSY eve and the cold
marble heart. AS a result some get tired
and quit, while others labor on despite the
selhshnesS of mankind, relying on the re-
ward of the hereafter for editoial labors well
performed in this world. One of the kind
that has been fooled and quits, writes in
the Press of Louisiana, Mo-, as follows:
An exchange came to us last week with
a blue mark around an editorial booming
a candidate for office. A printed slip past
ed to the paper kindly requested us if we
sand anything about the candidate to SEND
him a marked copy of the paper. We
did mt do it. We amt going to do it We
amt saying a word unless the cash is in
sight and we can Sc the Goddess of Lib
NY oh oilS SIN VI Tx dOlldI Oh our uduS
and count the tail feathers in the American
eagle on the other. In times past We nave
given away columns of space and rea1ns Of
paper and great gobS of ink in a political
turn, with nothing but the privilege of wad
ing through the mud behind the band
wagon in a torchlight procession and spill
Ing oil on our only coat and getting shot in
the eye with a Roman candle as our reward
But times have changed and our feelings
have changed. Everything has changed
except our pockets. There is no change
there. We are a Democrat but we amt no
pack mule to carry a candidate into office
and then get the cold shoulder. And per-
haps the cold mutton after the election
Our enthusiasm has gone. 1t has leaked
out through oar elbows and escaped thr-
ough the apertures in our pants. Glory is
a good thing but cold cash is better. Cam
paign thunder will no longer reverberate
through these column except at so much
per thunder. Our Campaign rooster has to
be fed, and herewith shall we feed him?
He's lost all his tail feathers from his last
campaign and needs some extracts of gold
or silver right now. Our tow line is sagg-
ing in the middle and unraveled at the
ends.

The late American Willie Aston has
been the victim of so many wild ru-

fairs of Great Britain that 1t is crafty
ing TO see Julian Ralph rush to his de-
Tense when he is being subjected to a
particularly annoying report. Some en-
envy in the United States doubtless was
responsible for the belittling statement
that Mr.. Astor had decided to wed the
Princess Victoria Of Wales. Mr.. AStor
naturally has treated the SANDER with
contempt, but his silence encouraged
the spread of the report until finally 1t
was published in two newspapers in
London. Mr.. Ralph has been prompt
to set the world right, and we quote
the words which will rehabilitate Mr..

of hS noble associatese: The real truth
of the matter has not been hit upon by
anybody. Mr.. Astor is to marry the

George Du Maurier'S career was, on
its own plane, extraordinary. Seldom
has a man of advanced years, who has
made a great success in one field of art,
scored an even greater success in IN
other field. Du Maurier had been
known for a score of years a. a skillful,
if not highly imaginative, draughts-
man, a genial and often witty depicter
of fashionable follieS. He did not rank
among the really great men who have
made Punch an institution in England,
blu he was n swift, sure and always
tasteful Illustrator of a high class, His
literary ability. was unknown until he
wrote Peter Ibbetson.' which attract
ed instant attention. This was follow
ed by "Trilby." If merit were esti-
mated by popularity alone that book
would outrank anything since-well,
since upper. II was read and read
over, rccited, dramatiZcd and SatiriZed.
until II became Il household word of no
small degree of terror. We suppose
very few people read 1t nowadays. vet
1t Is a work of considerable brilliancy
and attractivcneSS, lightly and tasteful
ly done. and better than many yards
of the dull stuff which pretcnds to per-
manency. Al any rate. ii can be said
of Du Maurice as ii was said Of Car
rick, ''he has added to the gayety of
nations" and this is no small encomium
when one considers how the world IS
,stupefied with novels Of purpose and
theological theses in the form of fiction.

The consolidation of steam railroads
has been proceeding rapidly in the last
five years. According to the report Of
the statistician of the interstate com
merce commission for the year ending
June 80, 1895, just published, forty-two
companies operating each more than
1000 miles of road altogether operate
100, ia miles, or over 30 per cent. of
the total mileage in the country. In
1890 the roads having ver 1000 miles
of track numbered forty and operated
In the aggregate 1852 miles. That is
to say, in the five years these large
companies have added nearly 25.000
miles Of road to their systems.

NEW USE FOR TROLLEY CARS
Plan to Improve the Character NJ
HOrseracing in America.

1t is proposed by a man who has fo.
lowed the races for years and who il
fully aware of the disrepute into which
the turf has fallen to construct a track
for trolley car around the inner rail
of a race track. 1t should be bui.
with n single rail, after the manner Of
Boynton's bicycle road, and the cost
would be small, as the material to b.
used would be light and inexpensive,
On this single track light carriages
could be run, in which the racing
stewards could ride and keep pace
with the horses. From such an adj,
vantageous position they could see
every move that was made and tick.
cry and crooked work could not be at.
tempted without certain detection.
Following the car in which the stew.
ards ride could be another car or cars
for the accommodation Of newspaper
reporters. The speed Of the cars could
be controlled by the stewards, and the
problem of keeping abreast Of the
bunch of flyers would be easily solved
The scheme is entirely practicable
said the man who made the sugges'
ton. and something of this sort must
soon be done if racing is to receive
the patronage Of the public. No mat

paigning has fallen out of the daytime
and become IL matter of evening meet
ings. During the late COS and 70's the
"marching clubs" came in, with torch
light displays, an evolution from the
''widea wakes" of 1860. The marching
clubs remain, but the torchlights have
largely been eX%tinguished. and all rest
more and more on the quiet work Of
the OrganiZation-the central commit
tees" with their literary. speaking,
music, financial and other subdivisions.
The country rally, however, has re-
manned a feature of the canvass, and
every county seat has from two to ten
every campaign. Not even a circus can
make a town SC lively. Back in the COS
rallies were the thing. Every rally had
n ship of state, made by the village
carpenter, carrying thirty-siX plump,
buXom country girls, representing the
different States-there were only thirty
six then-and a gay load they made, in
white dresses. all alike, pasteboard
crowns, and blue ribbon sashes across
their breasts. On the coronet appeared
the letters that spelled the name of the
State. Flags and banners completed
the rigging of the ship, and it created q
furore wherever it went.
The township which could bring the
best delegation to the edge of town
could have the place of honor at the
head of the procession and could carry
a banner that was offered as q prize
by some man who wanted to go to the
Legislature In the fall. And about s
O'Clock in the morning of rally day the
county seat would be a pretty busy

Growing the Bermuda Lily.

The Bermuda Lily should be plant
ed in deep pots writes Eben f. Rex
ford in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Put in a shallow layer of soil over the
drainage material when you pot the

lightly. Leave it like this until the stalk
starts. Then fill in. as this stalk
reaches up, until The pot is full OF com

any fertilizer after bringing a plant To
the light ii the compost in which it was
planted contained an ordinary amount
OF nutriment. Development is quite
likely to be sufficiently rapid In ordin-
arily rich soil, and the application Of a
stimulant will SO hasten it that the
plant will be forced beyond healthy
limits. Watch the plants when in the
cellar, and give a little water now and
then if needed. Aim to keep the soil
mOist-never wet. When you bring
them up do not place them at once in a
very warm room. a Don adjoining
one in which there Is a fire is better for
them, if it is frostprOof, than one in
which the heat is likely to run up to a
high degree. When they come into
bloom be sure to keep them as cool as
possible If you want the flowers to

place, In every direction from the
courthC sc there were aidS-de-camp rid
ing swiftly between the marshals of
their respective delegations and the
grand marshal of the whole thing, who
waited on a black horse near the court
house, and who tried to smoke a cigar
and take care of the bride reinS at one
and the same time-and couldn't do
either very well.
Country rallies nowadays are not so
demonstrative rs of yore, but ratifica-
tons, the joint debates, the meeting to
welcome candidates or noted orators
still give a vivid spur to campaigning.
Episodes are not infreQuent, however,
like that occurring in 1876, when the
Democrats had a rally in a middle In
diana county.
The ship Of state was so heavy with
its burden Of representative young
women that 1t broke the bridge and fell
through into the Wabash River. In
spite of the fact that the vessel was
supposed to be %seaworthy, 1t went to
the bottom at one dive, and 1t took
nearly all the rest of the parade to res
cue the young women.

DIFFICULT ABYSSINlA

Campaigning in Abyssinia is no
child's play. An English correspond
ent with some of the Italian forces,
writing from Maigabeta on the Sth OF
February to London journal, says:
"We have been here five days, after
most difficult march performed with
great daring and endurance, the mules
carrying the cannon being sometimes
obliged to descend slopes with a gradi-
ent of sixty in 100 for more than 100
metres. Only four mules fell down.
1t was curious to see the muleteers
holding their animals by the girth,
calling them by endearing names and
often guiding their feet into safe posi-
tions. The troops marched preceded
by the sappers and detachment of
engineers to improve the toughest por-
tions of the road, the movement being
fanked on the left by the irregulars
and battalions of natives. The descent
was made without accident, and the
enemy were astounded at our arrival,
for they believed it impossible for the
baggage to pass by that road. These
difficulties were repeated every day Of

communications between central Abys-
sinia and Erythrea. The Shoan camp
holds the road hence to Adows, and is
very strong, giving full scope for the
artillery and having on the flanks an
undulating country, while we are in
ground more abrupt and precipitous
than it would be in the Alps. The re-
gion is exhausted of supplies, and only
fresh meat can be obtained, 30 that the
difficulties of transport are immense.
The trains from Msssowah have to
ascend often to a height OF above 5000
metres, and the animals often fall from
exhaustion. Nevertheless. the trans
port proceeds satisfactorily. We lack
porters also, the men all being under
arms and the camels being unsaited to
these heights.
