That Young Jcrseyman.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Everybody. without distinction of party.
race or sex, will partake of Grover Cleye.
lands joy over the birth of a son to him.
In spite of the ex-President's alterations
Of craftsmanship. the name Of Cleveland is
an INDUSTRIOUS one in the history of the
United States. and it Is fortunate thing
that 1t Is to be perpetuated. But the adj
vent OF Grover. jr.. imposes new response
bilities to his fellow citizens upon Mr.
Cleveland. The country will demand of
him that he see to it the young gentleman
does not learn to smoke cigarettes, play
slug-bail. become a dude with a valet and
forty-eight suits of Clothes manage horse
shows and attempt to run a blind pig, or
try to travel on his fathers reputation.
However. what Is known Of Mr.. C1eve-
lands ideas makes 1t tolerably certain he
will assume these solemn responsibilities
with all his customary earnestness and
prayerful sense Of obligation.

was an absurdfty. True. the mans hand
that was found grasping the wire was
burned to the bone. Death had come at
the moment when he was seen to clutch
the wire. Nevertheless the electric concern
continued to insinuate that such a current
would be beneficial to life rather than In
furious. AS matter OF fact these reiter-
ated excuses are no longer regarded SCI
riously. The public has long since come to
look upon all forms Of electric conductors
with suspicion and to avoid them. It is
well understood that buried wire is the
only safe wire, just as 1t used to be said
that only dead Indians were good Indians.
1t is demonstrated beyond question that the
limit Of tolerance is measured by. the low
est current capable Of killing the weakest
person,

Levity of New Workers..
From the Hartford courant.

cHou Tue dartiOfu COuraut.
A great many New Yorkers-educated
New Workers at that-have refused in
times past to take their city, it's affairs,
their own duties and responsibilities as
citizens, seriously Their talk has been
fippant and their action has matched 1t.
Politics has been an amusing game" to
them. and they have applauded the smart
moves OF Boss This and Boss That with
every appearance of enjoyment.
We wish 1t were possible to cherish q
more confident hope that this years cam
paign. Seth Low and the lamented Henry
George have permanently cured the edu-
Gated New Workers of this Ievity in deal
ing with very serious matters In the case
of many Of them it Is silly affectatton
perhaps. rather than a real atrophy of the
civic sense; but the effects of 1t have been
evil, and only evil, and that continually.

Tammany Under u Foreign GLASS;
As was to be expected. foreigners read
the results of Tuesdays elections wholly in
the light Of Tammany's victory. Tam
many stands for all that is corrupt in
municipal affairs. and in national affairs
last year supported Mr.. Bryan. Tammany
has been restored to favor by sweeping
majority. Therefore. as the foreigners
reason, the people of the United States are
returning to the wallow. and eternal smash
may be expected in the very near future
This view of the case Is subject to revi-
sion. Tuesdays results were far from
gratifying to the friends of sound money,
and Tammanys victory was disgrace to
New York. But New York is not the whole
country, and the warning sounded else
where to the friends of sound money may
be needed There is full time for that
There is no proper escape from the criti-
cism to which New York is now the SUBJ
ject. Her conduct is indefensible. 1t ap-
pears in as bad light at home as it does
abroad. That the metropolis of the coun-
try, entering upon the most ambitious
scheme of local government ever devised,
should call Tammany Hall, with all of it's
record and well-known characteristics,
back to power is damaging reflection on
the character and intelligence of the town.
The explanation is inadequate and local.
The fact goes everywhere, and everywhere
it goes it initiates against those RESPONSE
bic for it.
But free silver's share in Tammany's
victory is qualified. A foreigner could
easily make a mistake about that The
silver men throughout the country will
take hope from Tammanys victory but
they, as we'll others, well understand
that on a question like that, or on any
other national question, Tammany is a
most uncertain quantity. Tammany has no
principles, nor any conception of principles
1t knows only tags. Last year it first de-
clared for sound money. 1t whipped over
to silver after the Chicago convention. It
did not change its principles, for 1t had no
principles to change. but simply shifted its
ground at the dictation of the majority
That is a safe guide to what may be ex-
pected of 1t in 1900. If the silver men
control the next democratic national con-
vention they will control Tammany Hall.
If not. they will not.
No. the foreigners-some of them influ-
enced by their wishes-are mistaken The
United States Is not headed for smash by
any manner of means We don't want any
more Tammany victories, but, bad as they
are, we could stand more without sinking
the boat The republic is all right

They Want Our LAW.
From the London Chronicle

While most Of the cities in the world
nave instituted police regulations govern
ing the speed of the cyclist the citv ~
Washington. which is the wheelman's par
adlse, by reason of its beautiful, wide. level
ioads. has gone beyond all others in legis-
ldtlhe Tor the position which he must as
sumo while on his machine. The Commits
sioners OF the District of Columbia have
promulgated an ordinance to the effect that
riders of bicycles on public highways
must not sit with their heads and bodies
down, so as thereby to expose themselves
or others to hazard or injury. Not more
tnan three persons mounted on bicycles or
similar vehicles shall ride abreast on any
pubic highway. When we reflect on the
unsightly objects to be seen wheeling along
the streets of our own cities and country
roads, we should really like to see some
such restrictions introduced here.

HELD DOWN BY A DENTIST.


One day lately a young man went tC
n dentists Office in Kansas City to have
d bridge, with some teeth haTginY to it,
attached to his upper jaw. He rode to
the building on bicycle. which he left
il the hall, and assembled to the fifth
floor in the elevator.
The dentists chair faced a window
which looked out upon Grand avenue
The dentist had flled up his mouth with
cement and was pressing it up into the
gum with his finger. The victim was
