by exclusion, except of traitors, but by
inclusion. SO a victorious party is not
tea party. II Is a union of all who believe
In that party as an efficient agency In the
prosecution of government, and who yield
to Others and expect for themselves, rep
resentation and share of management so
far as numbers give title. A successful
party can never be made of members OF
a mutual admiration society. of those
who establish a shibboleth based on line
age or social acquaintance, or of those
who prefer to cast black ball by them
selves to a ballot with others. In es-
sentials unity, In non-essentials liberty,
In all things charity. 1t is good motto
for partisan action.
Such truths arc especially timely be-
cause the preliminaries are on for an-
other election compaign. The Republic
can party. In the rising tide OF It's sue
cess, must avoid pharisaical narrowness
and self-consuming ambitions and all re-
venges that would lead through personal
resentment to party misfortune. 1t Is n
grand party and must have magnanmous
supporters. There is no badge but Re-
publcanism There is no password but
loyalty. Close up the ranks, then, and
every man as one man forward march!
II Is especially needful that at this time
the Republican party should have the
unhalting step and the unbroken line.
That party is the only organized repre-
sentative of the principles which were
decided last November to be most worthy
of preservation in American affairs-the
genuneness of the national word and the
authority of the civil structure. The
Democratic party has been split asunder
by the test. The Republican party was
enlightened by the challenge. The honor
of the country, upheld with prosperous
results by the party that with bullets
or ballots, as the need arose, has pro-
tected the American Union, still looks to
that party for the decisive electoral voice
that shall be the guarantee of peace.
The agitators of public dishonesty and
of revolt against the defenses of the
law are not idle. The intertwined rela-
tions of the civil fabric make every choice
by citizens important in its far reach
ing influence. There is no off year and
no meaningless election when political
principles are at stake. The success of
those principles is bound up with the
success of the party that upholds them,
and the success of that party is depend
ent upon the unity and fidelity of it's
| members. Republicans, in nation and
state and county and city, keep together.
Your party was never more necessary to
society or more able to justify its faith
by its works than with it's acknowledged
purposes, under its present leadership

the enlarged city states accurately the
equipment possessed by General Ben
tamin F. Tracy, the Republican nomi-
nee. He Is more than a theorist like
Mr.. Low. He is a man whose abilities
and powers are -eminently practi-
cal. Mr. Low has shown great aptitude
for dealing with theoretical problems,
is strong as an essayist and lecturer
but in the practical affairs Of life his
success has been less conspicuous. As
the manager Of his fathers immense
tea importing business 1t is said that
in one year, after finding the business

on the other hand, General Tracy Is
said by ex-President Harrison,in whose
cabinet he served four years as secre-
tary of the navy, to possess executive
abilities of an uncommonly high order,
SO high indeed, that General Harrison
regards him as pre- -eminently fitted for
either the mayoralty of New York or
the presidency of the United States.
His wealth and professional standing
were not inherited but have been self
won in the stress of a competition
which has broadened and practicalized
his powers to an exceptional degree.
That a unity of respectable public opin-
ion has not attended his candidacy has
not been his fault but the fault of the
immediate circle of Mr.. Lows advisers
who, from the first, insisted upon push
ing the latter gentlemans candidacy in
such a way as would most certainly
ALLEVIATE from its support all who value
regularity in Republican organization
and cooperation betwscen municipal
and national political forces. There is
within the territory proposed to be in
corporated in greater New York no
man of intelligence and information
who questions General Tracy's fitness
for the arduous duties of the first may
orally of the enlarged municipality,
but there are many thousands of emf
nent and respectable citizens within
that territory whom entertain serious
suspicious of Mr.. Lows qualification on
the practical side for that supremely
important trust. They have respect for
him as a student and thinker and
cheerfully recognize his integrity
and sincerity but they are not
at ease as to his equipment
for the everyday cares and prob
lens of the office, nor does his record
tend to allay their apprehensions.

The Philadelphia Times, with char
acterstc generosity, heads with $50
subscription a list for the purpose of
paying the $500 fine levied upon Cap
tain Wiborg, in addition to a 16-months
term in the penitentiary for having
been caught while conveying aid from
a United States port to the patriots of
Cuba. Captain Wiborg, who COM
manded the filibustering vessel Horsa,
has served his term in Jail, but is now
confined additionally in default of the
fine. Here certainly is a chance for
American sympathy for the Cuban
cause to assume a practical form.

And now it appears from the official
returns that the anti-gambling consti-
tutional amendment recently voted up
on in New Jersey was successful, de-
spite earlier reports to the contrary.
The vote was about half that cast for
Mckinley and the amendment is car
ried by beggarly 602 plurality, which
certainly does not speak well for the
political vitality of the better element.

Philip wrestled a moment with new
sense of responsibility. 81 guess you're
right; though never thought much
about it before. It's hardly worth
while for me to make transfers now,
but I'd be glad if you could get mother
to do it." And the making of the will
went on without further interruption.
During these days of preparation
Philip found it convenient to avoid be-
ing much alone with Helen. Since tell
ing her of his intention, he had been
besetby fear that she suspected a more
serious reason for the journey than the
one he had given her. The fear was not
wholly unfounded, for, on the following
day, Miss Morrison had gone straight
TO DR.. Perevin. Fortunately for that
gentleman's reputation as a keeper of
family secrets, he happened to be en-
gagged when she called, and so had time
to reinforce his caution. Helen waited,
quaking, in the reception-room, losing
the vantage ground of attack in the
same proportion that the physician
strengthened his defenses by delay.
When she was finally admitted. she
threw away her one chance of success
by abandoning strategy for assault.
Doctor, [ want you to tell me all
about Philips trouble" she began.
''Why are you sending him away and
why won't he talk about what YOU told
him?"
The doctor was suavity and consid-
crate sympathy personified. ''Why, my
dear young lady, one would think that
Philip had been ordered to Siberia! Is
it so remarkable that I should have sug-
gested change of scene and climate? %
"N-no, suppose not; but, doctor,
please tell me why you advised him to
go alone"

lions ago played an important part in
Trench politics. Louis XVI. had lit

with phrases and plan for him scenes
such as would excite the peoples admit
ration.
Your majesty will soon be going to
the races" said this prompter one day.
''9ou will find notary entering the
bets of two princes of the blood; when
you see him, sire, make the remark:
What is the use of this man? Ought
there to be written contracts between
gentlemen? Their words should be
enough
The scene came Off-the prompter
saw to that-and the courtiers eX-
claimed: What happy thought!
How lxingly! That is his style"
Another scene, more likely to impress
the populace, was planned by this
prompter a sledging pleasure party
was arranged for the king. Just as it
was about to start several carts passed
by, carrying wood to the poor of Paris.
These are my sledges!" said Louis,
pointing to the loaded carts, and he de-
clined to join the party.
Talleyrand coined for Louis XVIII.
the remark which he was reported to
have used on the day he entered Paris:
There is nothing changed; only a
Frenchman the more in Paris"
AS a matter of fact, the king did not
trouble himself to utter the phrase;
but Talleyrand inserted it in the jour
nails of the day that the people might
fiatter themselves that their king had
forgotten the past, and consequently
there would be no change.
Perhaps the most striking phrase ut
tered by modern king was spoken by
King Hunbert few years ago, when
the cholera was raging in Naples. He
had been invited by the municipality of
Genoa to a banquet. which he declined
in these words: "Men are feasting at
Genoa; men are dying at Napies-I go

Fooled After All.

During the Peninsular war number
of English officers had established Il
mess in Spanish village, with native
cooks whose efforts were fairly salts
factory to the keen appetites of the
campaigners. They were joined, how
ever, by certain peevish, cantankerous
major, who bitterly complained that
every dish was favored with sugar
after the Spanish fashion-and quite
UNBEATABLE. Finally, he confined him
self to diet of eggs boiled in the shell.
''They can't sugar those" he cried, tri-
umphantly. But his triumph was
short-lived. Next morning some mis-
chievous subs were at the mess-tnble
before the major. and emptied all of the
salt cellars, replaHing their contents
with powdered sugar. The major
soon appeared, and with gloomy COM
placsncy began upon an egg. with
which, as usual. he took plenty OF
"salt." At the first mouthful his face
turned purple with rage. "Sugared,
by Jove." he exclaimed. and rushed
off to his tent.-San Francisco Argo-

The REp-TopPEp BOOTS.

TO the last my memory wanders
To the happy childhood days,
Bringing joyous recollectionS
OF its sports and childish ways;
But one moment seems the brighter,
And my memory longer stops,
at the time 1 wore so proudly
Boots with red morocco tops
Fleeing time in quick succession,
AS the years rolled swiftly by,
Brought new scenes and new enjoyments,
Changing as the moments fly;
But of these my memry wearieS,
And their view it gladly drops,
Just to see those boyhood treasures
Boots with red morocco tops.
Proud walked to school in winter,
Drawing SHOWS and piercing cold,
Richer than the envied miser,
With his hoard of shining gold
And it seemed-perhaps twas fancy
That the world in wonder stops
Just to gaze but for a moment
At those red morocco tops.
How thought was the envy
OF the boys across the way,
With their boots, so plain and clumsy,
That they'd worn for many day.
How felt way up and above them,
And to play would never stop,
Just because my boot was finished
With red morocco top.
Years may bring us many a lesson,
But we fail to heed the best
If we think that wealth or station
Makes us better than the rest;
and the one who, proud and naughty,
With the humble never stops
as more foolish than the schoolboy
Proud of boots with flaming tops.

was therefore fortunate for Philips
plan that his mothers emotion pre-
vented her from seeing the untruth.
And see now how great a matter so

Thorndyke had looked up she would
have believed Philips face against his
words, and there would have been no
solitary migration and no case in
equity-no moral upheaval and no
strangling of carefully educated con-
science. And, besides, Philip might

it easier.

Ever Blooming Roses.

Roses as class are not successfully
cultivated by the amateur in the win
dow garden, so it is better to bed them
out doors, where they can remain from
year to year. If the plan ing is done
early in the season, SO that good de-
velOpment of roots and tops is secured
the first season, the plants usually Gu
dure the first winter unframed by
frost. 1t is usually better, however, to
place board frame around the bed in
autumn, and as the holidays approach
fill in some evergreen bOughs, and
cover with boards so arranged that
they will turn the water. When warm
days come in the spring remove the
boards and evergreen branches, and
repla only the boards on cold nights.
Roses are rarely injured by cold until
after midwinter, when the sun rays
begin to gain in strength and cause the
buds to swell. 1t is then that the pro-
lection is particularly needed. In
Canada and the far northern states
most of the ever-blooming roses will
need protection every winter: but in
the middle and southern states the
plants, when well established, will
rarely suffer from cold, except that
sometimes the tips of the branches are
killed. These branches, however, can
be removed in the spring, and the
growth will be all the more vigorous
for the pruning given.-August Wo-
mans Home Companion.
