IGNACE PADEREwsKI has written a
new minuet for the piano, which he
has dedicated to his American adj
mirers and given the significant name
of "Menuet Moderne." He regards
the new composition as his best, and
believes that it will meet with greater
popular favor than his "Menuet
L'Antique," written in 1888, of which
over seven million copies We're sold in
single year. 1t is the first minuet
written by Paderewski since "L'An.
tique," and was composed by the
famous pianist expressly for The
Ladies' Home Journal, and will APP.

Money! Make 1t Yourself.

1 have never seen anything in the papers
about the Peoples Wind Mill; we call Ii the
Peoples" because the in ventor never patented
it, but let everybody use it free. Any farmer
can make mill himself, and all the material
mill, will pump the deepest wells, and will
last longer than any mill ever had. ANY
person can get diagrams and complete di-
rections free, as did, by sending Is two-cent
stamps to pay postage, ETC., to E. d. Wilson &
Co., Allegheny, Pa. Wilson & Co., sell pumps,
and when you get your wind mill going would
be glad to sell you pump If you need 1t. 1t is
certainly useless to pay $50 or $50 for a wind
mill, when you can get one just as good for
$40. think there could be big money made
putting these mills up through the country as
everybody would like them. AREADER,

The GubernatorIaI Question.

If The Phoenix had said, or intimated,
last week, in speaking of the gubernatorial
question, that Orleans county has never
had governor since the Republican party
came into existence, and political lines
were adjusted as they now are, nor for
twenty-five years before that, it would
have been historically correct. In this re-
spect we stand corrected by j. II. Merri-
field, the efficient and well-informed clerk
of the present house, in his communica-
tion, printed this week, in support of
Speaker w. w. Stickney's candidacy for
the governorship. There is no good ex-
cuse for accepting current error like this
as a fact-but we question whether, in
practical effect, it will make very much diff
ference, because Orleans county will go into
the state convention next June say
ing, eve haven't had a governor since
1880, before any member of this conven.
tion can remember" instead of saying
that she has never had a governor We
suspect her argument will be conclusive
stated in this way.
NO man is Detter aOle, from personal ac-
quaintance, to present the qualifications of
Mr. Stickney for the governorship than is
Mr.. Merrifield, and he has stated his case
with strength and dignity. We take no
exception to his estimate of Mr.. Stickney's
ability as a legislator or of his personal
worth, and no wise friend of Maj, Grout
will do so. We believe it to be true, how
ever, that every claim made for Mr. Stick
ney on the ground of strength, ability and
careful equipment for the office of gov
ernor can be made for Maj. Grout with
equal force and truth, and that this fact,
with other considerations already suggest
ed, will cause the votes of a strong ma jor-
ity of the delegates to be given to the Or
leans county candidate when the time ar
rives.

A notable victory for good government
was won in the municipal election in New
Orleans Tuesday. The contest was be-
tween the citizens league and the Demo
cratic state machine, and the citizens won
by 10000 majority. 1t was no mere par
tisan contest, but ian implacable and un-
compromising warfare made by honest cit
izens upon the bribe-takers, the black
mailers, the coruptionists, the jobbers
and the robbers that have been running
the city government for years" The
Republicans Joined with the league under
the lead of exGov. Yarmouth, and the ne
gro vote was thrown almost solidly with the
league. In the state election, held the
same day, the Democratic majority shows
a heavy falling off from that in the last
two presidential years.

The bill passed both houses of the legis-

and is a striking illustration of the public
sentiment which the steadily growing army
of wheelmen carries with it. 1t is prob
able that other states will soon follow New

Venezuelan Negotiations at standstiIl.

A Washington despatch of last evening
says: VERY little progress toward the set
tlement of the Venezuelan difficulty is now
being made. While there is no crisis i'm
pending, and until the commission brings
in its report, no occasion exists for positive
action or even consideration of the next
best move, it is nevertheless true that many
obstacles in the way of a prompt settle
ment are found. The English people be-
lieve that their case is very strong, and the
wish heip~fT'her of the thought, the opin-
iOI . in official circles there that the
American commissioners are getting ready
to admit substantially the British claim.
AS matter of fact the commission is not
so impressed by the exhibits accompanying
the blue book, and is nearing a conclu-
sion which cannot but surprise British
public opinion in its present state"

DIsgracefuI Fight in the National Capt.


A Washington despatch of the 23d says:
"Few more disgraceful things have ever oc-
CURED in the national capitol than the fight
between Money of Missi ,sippi aud Hall of
Missouri, this noon at an informal meeting
of the naval affairs committee. The facts
seem to be that the two men had not been
on good terms. Both are hot headed, and
but slightly advanced from the dueling
stage of civilization. A naval re0ganiza-
tion bill was under discussion by which
Halls brother, physician in the navy,
would be affected, which lent personal
character to the controversy. Hall was
reading an anonymous letter, and he applied
the word lie either to what the letter con-
tanned, or to what Money said regarding it.
Neither contestant waited long enough to
find out.
money broke out with volley of abus-
i've epithets, and Hall grabbed ink-stands
and paper-weights, and with one of the
missiles dazed his opponent. Each side
drew pocket-knives, and Moneys coat
dence of something sharper than paperV
weights.
meyer of Louisiana headed the emer-
gency relief corps, which sepai -ted the
pugulists although they continued to fight
until they were dragged reluctantly from
the scene. Money struck the last blow,
hitting Hall back of the ear with an ink
stand. Money was carried home badly
bruised, while Hall remained on the scene,
and on the arrival of Chairman Boutelle
went at once to see him to give his side of
the story"

In connection with John II. Flagg's ar
ticle in the New England Magazine, else
where quoted and commented on, it is of
interest to note the statement in Balti-
more despatch that the Maryland legisla-
ture in the closing days of the late session,
omitted what is known as "the Eastern
Shore law from the new election law,
perhaps unintentionally. The law provided
that one of Maryland's representatives in
the upper house of Congress should be a
resident of the eastern shore of the state.
An unsuccessful effort was made to repeal
the law, and now il is discovered that the
provision has somehow dropped out OF
sight.
