No Chance for steren.on.

A report is being circulated at Washing
ton. that Vice President Stevenson is am
bilious 10 be the democratic candidate for
president. and that he will soon write a
letter 20 an Illinois friend. for publication.
announcing that he is an applicant for
the nomination, and that he is in favor
Of the free coinage Of silver.
Mr. Stevenson must have a much better
opinion Of his qualifications for a presi-
Dental candidate than the democratic
leaders have. That he is a very pleasant
gentleman there is no doubt. but he is
not regarded as statesman or. in any
sense. as a leader. a year OF two ago it
was suggested by somebody that he would
make a strong presidential candidate hut
the suggestion did not take a firm hold or
the public mind. And there is no reason
for thinking it would meet with more Ia
vor now than it did then.
The idea seems TO be that he would di-
vide thelhnois delegation with Col Will
lam r. Morrison, another distinguished
son of that state. Mr.. Morrison is a much
ADLER men than Vice President Stevenson
and has a much stronger hold upon the
people OF Illinois. and Of the country. 1t
is also in Col. Morrison's favor that he
is believed to be a sound money man,
though on that point he is extremely reti-
cent.
Mr.. Stevenson will have to be satisfied
with the distinction he has achieved as
vice president. He has filled the vice
presidency very acceptably. but about the.
only qualifications required for that posi-
ton are a knowledge of the Senate rules
and ability TO make himself agreeable to
the members of the Senate. If he were
such man as democrats would like to
have for president there would be a much
greater demonstration in his favor than
there is. The fact that nobody in partic-
ular and no newspaper Of consequence is
trying to bring him into political promi-
hence is sufficient 20 justify the conclu-
sion that he has very little chance to have
his ambition gratined.

He Won His Drink.

A young man with delicate, Straw-coi-
ored mustache and football hair parted in
the center and glued down to his temples,
sauntered carelessly into one of the supe-
rior courts the other day, says the San
Francisco Post. He eyed the judge
through his glasses, and sized up all the
attorneys. Then he walked up to the bar
and poured out glass of ice water
The Judge, who is nervous and testy,
had observed the young man and frowned
down on the glued hair and glasses. When
the young man boldly walked up to the
bar and took a glass of ice water the
judge fairly boiled with indignation at
such temerity amounting almost to con-
tempt The young man was just raising
THAT water, sir, is for attorneys and
other officers of the court"
The glass almost dropped from his
hand, he started violently, turned red,
then placed the glass on the table and
walked out of the court. The judge chuck
led. Half an hour later the young man
entered the court room again with a roll
of parchment in his hand. The judge
glared at him savagely, but he never
finched. Finally there was a lull in the
proceedings, and he addressed the court:
Your honor!

Sensitive ABOUT His Are

An attorney from Springfield. ILL.,, was
at the capitol the other day, and the SUB
ject of sensitiveness about age came up,
says the Washington Star. 1.-The most re-
markable instance of that" he said, was
a man-nCt a woman-and a very able
man mentally, too. Judge Sydney Breese,
fer many years one of the justices of the
supreme court of Illinois, died at a very
advanced agey but no one ever knew how
old he was. Upon one occasion the judges
of the supreme court of Iowa visited the
Illinois supreme court. Judge Wright OF
Iowa was at that time very old and he
had gone west from Ohio the state of
Judge Breese's nativity. At the banquet
table Judge Wright said to the venera-
BILE Illinois jurist:
o " Judge, we must be about the same
age. We left Ohio in the same year we
have served on the bench an equal length
of time. l wonder how much further the
coincidence extends l would not be sur
prised If we were born during the same
year; If not an impertinence, I would
ask how old you are? l am 49,
Judge Breese arose from the table his
face livid with anger, and saying fiercee
ly; 1 would consider it the hight of i'm
pertinence, sir left the room and would
not appear again when Judge Wright
was present"

The west 10 the south.
from the chicago Chronicle Dem.)

1t is inevitable that the silver old fogy
democrats of the south in the Senate must
step aside and give their places to men
who will represent the commercial and
productive interests of their states, which
can have no prosperity except under a
sound-money system. If the democratic
party at the south does not move abreast
of the age and select representatives in
both houses of congress on platform of
financial intesr lty it is destined to defeat
in state after state, following Kentucky
and North Carolina. With Vest and Cock
rell as silver leaders, Missouri will go next
and other states will follow. The era of
cheap-money prostitution in politics at the
south is near its close

One or Two Conventional
From the Augusta (Ga.) Herald Dem.

The question which has been so fast and
furiously discussed for nearly two months
will therefore be settled two weeks from
to-day. There is absolutely no good and
sufficient reason why this question should
have been thrust upon the attention of the
public. 1t was an attempt to break down
long established precedents without any
other excuse than the subtle selfishness
and chicanery of a few politicians. No good
end was to be achieved except to take
snap Judgment on the silver question and
put the people of Georgia in false light
But now that the question has been sprung
it should not be for the Atlanta Constitu-
ton and a few of its cuckoos to say that
the old order of things shall be changed
any more than the advocates of the two
conventions should be empowered to back
any sensible readjustment of party ma
chinery on which a majority of the intel
ligent voters might decide.

story of senator Henrst.

The bucking of young Hearst. the pro-
prietor of the transformed New York
Journal, against Joseph Pulitzer. the mil
lionaire publisher of the New York World,
brings to mind a trifiing incident in the
career of the elder Hearst, one-time Sem
atcr from California, says the Philadel-
phia Times. He did not look like wearer
of the toga, nor was his appearance sug-
gestlve OF great wealth; HIS black CLONES
were generally unbrushed, ill-htting and
baggy. His hat was rarely new and never
with the nap smoothly laid. His gray hair
and long gray beard were generally I'M
trimmed. Yet this man was said to have
died with almost as much wealth as that
which William II. Vanderbilt could find
no pocket for in his shroud. He paid 3d.
$50 for a yearling colt, King Thomas, VINO
afterwards, in his 4-year-old form, won
but one race and then was retired to igno-
minious obscurity.
But what good did old Hearst's wealth
bring him apart from the present sala-
ries that are being paid to some New York
newspaper men, which he certainly does
net enjoy. Let us recall a remarkable So

and alone through the glittering throng,
representing every forceful condition of
national life, was the master of the house.
He was met by a well-known newspaper
correspondent To him said the senator
eagerly: Get a few good fellows together
and We VIII go to some quiet room and to-
gether enjoy a bottle of wine and some CT
gars." There were whispers in the ears of
three other correspondents, and then, led
by the wealthy Californian, the quintette
marched through the big house from par
Tor to attic. In every room there was a
chattering throng, or a Wrap-dtVeSt1ng
bevy or piles of hats and overcoats. With
a sigh the senator turned backward. He
descended to the cellar. Beside the coal
hole a colored servant arranged a table
and chairs and brought wine and tobacco.

of relief, I'VE can have a good time here

taught, incidentally, that too frequently
parents make mere puppets of their chill
dren; that they treat them as dolls,
seeking merely to be amused by them, and
never regarding them as equals. Thar
this is true can hardly be denied. In
other instances, parents, in recognition
of the duty they owe their offspring, lay
down a certain rigid rule of department
and education, which must be lived up to
without consideration of the child's tastes
or temperament, under pain of more or
less severe punishment. 1t has not been
a great many years since the code of
ethics governing children was, in the light
of the present very severe. The ten
dency of the times, in the schools and
in the homes, has been toward the "eman-
cipation" of the little folks from the iron
bands of custom. The movement has been
attended with quite as many successes
as that other movement for the "emanci-
patton" of woman. But not so much is
heard with regard to it.
DR.. Lewis G. James of New York is an
earnest worker toward the securing of
the full recognition of the rights of chill
dren. He holds that such rights begin
before the child is born, and continue I'M

of an adult. The necessities of the in
