The New England Freshet.

Reports of the damage in New England
caused by the great freshet in that section
Of the country continue to find their way
into print The rain storm that lasted for
three days ended last Monday, and was
followed by a blizzard of extraordinary
violence. The freshet caused by the great
rainfall raised all the streams to hight
they had not attained in many years.
Bridges were swept away, mills were
stopped, towns We're flooded great
breaches were made in railroad embank-
ments and in many other respects proper
ty was destroyed. 1t is estimated that
100000 would not cover the damage
done.
An unfortunate feature of the flood was
the stopping of so many industrial estab-
Hshments. Not less than 100000 people are
waiting in forced idleness for the waters
to subside To most of these people the
loss of a days work means deprivation of
some comfort or some necessary of life
For two or three days a number of the
towns We're particularly isolated, ow-
ing to the destruction of the
railroads and the telegraph lines. 1t will
be long time before the marks of the
great storm are wholly obliterated. The
blizzard which followed the rain storm
added greatly to the discomfort of the
people. New England has many advan-
tages, but it isn't a desirable place of res
idence in winter.

Fire Fancies.

Guy Wetmore Carryl in St. Nicholas.
When the flames are running riot
Pictures come before our eyes;
Never steady. never quiet,
Magic palaces arise;
Now goblin, now a fairy,
Here an elf and there a gnome:
Then a dream-boat, white and airy,
Drifting on sea of foam.
All the tales that one remembers
Dragons, witches, captive DANES
Clean together in the embers
And the flashing of the flames
Bits of sunny summer playtime,
White entertainments of the snow,
Memories of night and daytime,
Lightly come and swiftly go.
Last a train of cars, full freighted
With departing fairy souls,
Cracks and roars as If belated,
Rushing DER a bridge of Goals.
Then the gold light turns to lumber,
And with soft and stealthy tread
Comes the Sandman, bringing Siumber,
Now it's time to go to bed!

Mr. William e. Curtis. the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Record,
has a unique way of settling off-hand
little matters of politics that would prove
puzzling to most people. For instance,
he announces in his correspondence, with
all positiveness, that Representative
Turner has about decided to enter the
contest as the sound money adminstra-
ton candidate for the United States SEN
ate against eX-Speaker Crisp who ia
vors free coinage at IS to l." 1t is safe
to say that this statement is without
substantial basis. Mr.. Turner has prob
ably not even considered the question
of becoming a candidate. He is not the
kind of man to decide to be candidate
for an office before the people have de-
cided that they want him TO be candi-
date. He lets the people do the deciding
first. Mr. Turner is statesman, not
wire-pulling politician.

Just as young Mr.. Dolly was about to
bid good night to Miss Trivvet, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin, the gaslight in the
hall burning low, he drew her to him
and stole a kiss.
And at that moment Mr.. Trivvet emerg-
ed from the library door further along
the hall and came forward.
"Oh, DEAR said the maiden in a gaspy
whisper, Il am afraid papa saw you"
Her fear deepened into a certainty as
her father approached and said to Mr..
Dolley;
Young man, 1 want to speak to you
in the library for a minute or two
Mr.. Dolley followed Mr.. TriVvet sheep
ishly. and the door closed behind them.
The girl, pale and breathless, anxiety pic
tured all over her countenance, hid be-
hind the parlor portiere, that she might
have a word with Mr.. Dolley in case her
father should allow the young man to go
to the door unattended. Her eyes were
fixed on the closed library door, visible
to her from her retreat back of the cur
tain, and she tried to divine what was
passing therein. Would Mr.. Dolley be
forbidden to come to the house again?
Would her papa forbid her to think of
him? She had heard of such orders is
suing from paternal authority, and al
ready she was debating how she and
he could eVade them. Whatever was
would not require four or five minutes
to dismiss an Objectionable lover. Per-
haps Mr.. Dolley was bravely defending
himself. Nay, it might be that he had
bearded her father in his den and boldly
asked her hand in marriage.
The door opened. Mr. Dolley emerged
alone. AS he passed the parlor door Mr.
Trvvet came from behind the portiere.
"Oh, Harry what did papa say2'
He asked me to lend him $40"

The senatorship Fight.
From the Macon Telegraph DAM.

1t looks now as though the fight for
Senator Gordon's seat in the United States
Senate would be a duel between the silver
men, represented by Judge Crisp on the
one hand. and a single candidate repre-
senting the sound money element on the
other Indications point strongly to the
fact that the silver men have practically
decided to concentrate their whole force
on Judge Crisp, and that no other candi-
date favorable to free coinage would be
in the field. If this should be the case the
friends of sound money must unite on
one man who viii fairly represent their
views in this fight and, regardless of per-
sonal preferences, give him earnest and
loyal support.

1t is possible that Congressman Turner
fell into a slight error in his speech the
other day against the recognizing of the
belligerency of the Cuban Insurgents He
said the president of the Cuban republic,
so called, was not in Cuba, but in the
United States. He probably had in mind
Senior Tomas Estrada Palma, who is the
president of the Cuban committee in this
country. and whom it was incorrectly an
nouneed in some of the newspapers sew
eral months ago, had been elected pres
ident of the insurgent government. The
president of the Cuban republic is Senior
Cisneros, who is in Cuba, somewhere IN
in the mountains, according TO the infor-
nation of the American correspondents in
Havana. This error. however, in no wise
weakens Congressman Turner'S argument

a Dead Issue.
From the New York Post Hnd).

Echoes of the income tax agitation are
growing fainter in the south. The action
of the Kentucky legislature in adopting
a resolution looking toward a constitu-
tional amendment under which such a
tax could be assessed is more than offset
by the rejection in the South Carolina
House of a specific income-tax bill. which
commanded the votes of only about one
third of the representatives. Many who
voted in opposition were influenced by the
argument that an income-tax, while a
good thing, when applied to the whole
country, might when confined to a single
state, be disastrous by it's effect in driving
out capital The Offering of such a rea-
son may be accepted as evidence that even
the pOpulists are learning not only that
capital is very useful, but also that its
rights must be given some consideration.
