Tammany Hall entertained the Chicago
contingent at so-called luncheon on Fri
day. The kind of fellows that Mayor Har-
rison led to New York are always hungry
and thirsty, and they doubtless looked for
ward to this event as the browning one of
their trip According to the New York
Sun, they were terribly disappointed. The
Tammany braves turned out in great force,
and being built on the same plan as the
Chicago visitors, with the additional ad-
vantage of knowing the arrangement of
the tables and the avenues of approach,
they devoured pretty much everything and
sent the visitors away about as hungry
and thirsty as they came The Sun says:

Mr.. Bryan declared that his purpose in
going to Ohio was to destroy Mark Hanna.
Yet Mr.. Bryan never furnished steady en-
Aloyment to half dozen men in his life,
while Mr.. Hanna has given steady employ
ment to hundreds who have testified that
he has been a fair and considerate man..
TO the people of Ohio Senator Hanna said,

employ of his corporations when the panic
came went hungry while the hard times
continued, even if the product of his labor
was unsold. Only Anarchists desire to de

The demand for the redemption of treas
ury notes has reduced the coined silver of
the treasury to So, 600 600, which means that
the minis must soon begin to coin silver
dollars for the further redemption of such
notes. OF silver bullion, which was pur
chased by the issue of these notes, the gov
eminent has a good supply. The demand
for fractional silver is increasing. AS fast
as these treasury notes are redeemed by the
issue of silver dollars therefor they should

Carter Harrisons braves who went with
him to New York behaved in a manner to
surprise the tough element in Gotham.
While the sober limit OF every one of the
Harrison cohorts of reform is one quart of
whisky, the most of them broke the quart
provision in New York and many became
very drunk. and some of them were abusive.
They committed several assaults, refused to
pay carriage hire, and when arrested
claimed to be Chicago officials by the APP
pointment of Mayor Harrison. If he can,
the mascot mayor will do well to leave his
braves at home when he goes forth to
preach reform of the Democratic brand.

Never was there more signal instance
of the heartlessness of the thing called poll
tics than was furnished by the tragic death
of the late Henry George. Not one mo-
ment's sympathy was extended, except in 8
perfunctory way, not a word of coincidence
over the deep pathos of the event; only an
undisguised, clamorous and 6ry-eyed won-
der as to what the result would be in the
world of politics. Yet the want of apprecia-
ton is only apparent. When the smoke of
the battlefield has drifted away the day OF
mourning and consideration will come. Men
who fall in battle have short funeral serv-
ices.

Frances C. Baylor, has written another.

and all novel readers relish It. 1t is the
main element in "In Kedar's Tents" by
Henry S. Merriman. The time of the story
is in the thirties Of the present century,
and the scenes are laid In Spain at the
time OF the Car!ist troubles In the first
chartst mobs In England. and one OF the
leaders suddenly finds himself in trouble
riot In order to draw suspicion from the
real offender a devoted and uuixotic friend
of his assumes the role of scapegoat and
fees to Spain. He is the hero of the story,
and his hair-breadth escapes. thrilling adj
ventures and love affairs furnish its theme.
The story is highly improbable but highly
romantic. and therefore highly interesting.

Mr.. Howells maintains that romance is
not the highest style of fiction. Perhaps
this is true. for manipulation Of incident
and plot Is not great as portrayal of
character. Yet It is no mean thing TO tell
the improbable with such skill as to make
it seem probable. Anyhow, the human
mind Graves a certain amount Of romance.

this story by w. G. Henderson, the Mo-

A paper read at the recent meeting of
American cotton manufacturers, in Phila-
delphia, contained some interesting statis-
tics as to the cotton-goods trade of the
world 1t is practically in the hands of
four countries and divided about as follows:
Great Britain, 1892, S31 900; Germany, $47,-
$4,000; France, S757,OO0; United States,
$19,S40,O0O. The surprising thing about these
figures is that Great Britain, without a
pound of native raw cotton, should spin
and weave over n per cent. of the cotton
goods purchased by other nations, while
the United States, which produces over
one-half of all the cotton grown in the
world, supplies less than per cent. of the
manufactures of cotton which other coun-
tries buy. Over So per cent. of the worlds
trade in cotton goods is in the hands of
Great Britain, Germany and France,
neither of which raises pound of cotton
at home, and all of which are dependent
on the United States for their raw fiber.
Such facts as these should incite Ameri-
can manufacturers to great efforts to ex-
tend their foreign trade.

The example of Mayor Harrison and his
reelection seem to have given Mayor Tag
CART a touch of the dangerous malady
known as big head" Heretofore he has
been mild and plausible, but since he has
started in on his second term he has as
sumed an air of arrogance which does not
fit him. He has won by the smile. He is
accustomed to it, and the smile becomes
him. He should not part company with
most useful ally. The mayor should not so
soon forget that he did obeisance to those
who are called mugwumps before the cleo
ton, and that they and large number of
Republicans elected him on his promise to
be good. To them he should not SO soon
exhibit the insolence he has in regard to
DR.. Ferguson and Detective Splann in ig-
noring efficiency and CURLY intimating to
these excellent citizens that they can go
about their business while he does as he
pleases. The big head is a certain
symptom of the swelled head, and if it is
not treated in season it. will result in
tumefaction which has brought greater
men than Mayor Taggart to an untimely
end. Mr.. Taggart should retrace his steps
and seek the editorial rooms of the News
as he did before the election to assure the
editors of his sorrow for sacrificing the
public good in order to reward the faithful.
