POLITICAL NOTES.

Practical politicians, who see underneath the
surface of things. profoundly interested in
present intestinal connections in the Silver
ranks. The three factions in the agglutinated
party are having a quiet but very intense
struggle rs to the control and shaping of the
future. So far IL woud seem to an unpreiu-
diced outsider that the Silver Republicans have
1.-THE edge" on the other fellows, with the
Populists good second, and the Democrats far
In the rear. 1t IS everywhere conceded that
the Silver Republican managers have showed
themselves the shrewdest managers, aud the
Populists next, while the Democratic managers
relying very confidently on the prestige of
their party, have shown little activity or abil-
ity, and have been generally ou.manuvered,
not only in Washington, but in the various
States. Unless they wake up, and invest
considerably more gray matter in .he enter
prise than they have for good WHILE the
Democratic party will go the way the Whig
party did. and have little to show for itself in
the future outside of those who still cling to
the name, and vote for anything that is authori-
tatively labeled Democratic" 1t looks very
much as if the Silver Republicans and the
Populists are going to get together, and in q
new party which will form the chief opposi-
tion to the republicans. and leave the Demo
Gratis with lot of worn.out issues, of which
the country has become thoroughly tired. Par
ticuiarly, there have been some new alignments
the Tariff, which have carried consternation
to the hearts of the old mossback managers as
showing that the scepter was departing from
them. The triumph of Bailey over McMiIln
for the leadership of the Democratic party ia
the House was a startler for the old fellows.

Drew on Sight.

Commercial law terms are not entire ly safe at all times. John B. Watrous, deputy United States marshal for the this story: --..
 Mart Hoover years ago, when Kansas was not the cultivated commonwealth it has since become, had sent consign- ment of corn to commission merchant in Kansas City. The merchant tele- graphed, telling the consignor: Your credit Is $27. 40. Draw on me at sight.
 But Hoover was mad. He had ex- peoted his money, and none came. He felt he had been duped, and he treasured up the grievance. One time, about six weeks later, the commission man came to Hoover's town, got out of the bus and started to walk down street. Hoo- yer saw him and Instantly drew his re- volver and fired. His eye was fairly good. The bullet cut away the mer- chants necktie and unfastened his col lar.
 Then Hoover put up his gun.
 "That's expensive shootin, said he, "but reckon you Ire as sorry as I am. "
 "What do you mean?" demanded the town constable, arresting the gun man.

How . Great Canvas Was Moved.

The moving of a painting from a pavilion of the city of Paris in the Champs Elysees to the Auteuil gallery offered very difficult problem to the Paris city authorities. The painting, by M. Roll, representing the celebration of July IA, Is 82 feet long by 28 feet high and with the massive frame weighs over 2,20o pounds. It was inn possible to move the pain ting in the ordinary way, by taking the canvas of the frame and rolling 1t, for the paint ing, being vanished, it would probably have cracked in several places. It was therefore decided to move the canvas and frame as whole. After much de- liberation special chariot was con- structed over two of the floats which were used in the Mardi Gras procession. The city engineer, with eight laborers, proceeded to the pavilion and the paint ing was carried by eight men, eight others bracing the upper part of the pie ture to keep it in an upright position until it was deposited in the chariot It was finally got out without accident and slid upon greased blanks upon the chariot. Arrived at the Gallerie d'Au- teuil, the picture was similarly carried to it's new quarters. The painting is one of the largest in existence and was painted by order of the French govern ment in 1880 to perpetuate the memory of the first national holiday of the third republic Paris Letter.

A letter by Prof. Charles Eliot Nor ton of Harvard University on the "Vil- lsge Hoodlum" was recently published in the Norfolk Chimes and has been copied by other papers.
 Speaking of the hoodlum in his own village (Ashfield, Mass J Prof. Norton says: "Here, and fancy in many of our country towns, the root of much of the lawlessness which exists, lies in the inertness and timidity of the selectmen. !"
 What we want to say about the mat ter is, sthat we have not copied the let te be ca u in it we find no lesson for Canaan. Canaan has no "spirit of law lessness" and the selectmen need no ad- vice for suppressing the hoodlum. In fact the Canaan hoodlum Is an angel compared to the hoodlum the learned professor speaks of. We have always maintained that our street boys were of . better class than even the surround ing towns. and facts and their behavior bear us out. Canaan has nothing to fear from it's hoodlums, who, in the sense that Prof. Norton means, can be counted on the fingers of one hand When we state that we have no town bully, no one-tough boy, no class of vic- ious youngsters. it speaks good W word for the town and it's inhabitants.

VALUABLE HINTS

Which Suggested Themselves to the

 Keeper of n Cemetery.
 It is astonishing that men live when We read the history of their disorders It is more astonishing that they die when we read of "curealls. Yet death neither spares Napoleon who supplied subjects by tue wholesale; nor physi- cians who helped the work aloi by re- tail; not even the grave digger who has spent life time in covering up the good as we'll as the bad deeds of his neighbors He at last is consigned to his bed of clay and is covered by hls own shovel to be succeed by younger memb who awaits the same doom As our representative interviewed MT A. F. Corning. or 76 Lafayette St Nor wich, Conn the keeper of the Yantic cemetery. the above thoughts suggested themselves from the opening sentences Corning, "that quite a percentage of people would not be here had they known of Doan's Kidney Pills. Like myself know of dozens who are now buried that had kidney and urinary trouble for years. I paid out myself in this city S9000 to one doctor, and his treatment did not benefit me half as much as one box of Doan's Kidney Pills. Besides physicians treatment I took all kinds of medicine advertised to be 'cureslls' for disordered kidneys Some may have given me slight tenn porary relief. but none of it was lasting 1t is to be remembered that I am over 60 years old, and any medicine that helps man of that age. let alone cure him must have more than ordinary mer- it.

''Son Tom" in writing to the Bridge port Farmer on the labor question con- tributes an amount of good common sense from which we make the follow ing excerpts:
 ttIt seems to me that in spite of the fact that neither political party can put forward much of claim to being 8 ''labor" party that workingmen will do better to get what they can out of one or the other of the old parties than they can do by starting some little side show of their own.
 Fair wages, decent work rooms, hu- mane bosses, shorter hours. Saturday holidays, Sunday rest-all these things state legislatures can handle better than Congress can. Towns and town author ities can also do much if they wish. Local diseases often require local reme- dies. Political reforms, like charity, begin at home.'
 Say what you will, the mass of man. kind will never yield to boycotts and will always regard sympathetic strike with suspicion when it affects their own comfort or convenience. Because some man on the Yukon river loses job is not, to most of us, good and sufficient reason for stopping traffic on all the railroads in tho country. Mankind are human and coal famine will not in- crease public sympathy for suffering coal miners"
