Proclaiming Glad It'd
ings Of Coming
Salvation!
Crow! Chapman, Grow!

The elections last Tuesday result
ed everywhere in great democratic
gains and show that the Common
People are throwing off their sub
serviency to Plutocratic wealth
The beautiful plumaged bird OF
Prosperity" has lived only in the
dark corners of gamblers in stocks
and National Banks since Mckin-
lev was elected, and failed to find
enough yellow metal to flop his
wings among the laboring masses.
As foretaste Of '9S and 1900 last
Tuesdays results will do very well.
The Democrats carried Kentucky
By 20, 600, and Joe Blackburn will
go back to the U. 5. Senate.
They also carried Virginia by
$4,000, and New York City by
$4,000 and the state by 20, 900, and
Nebraska by 1900, elected a Dem
ocratic Legislature in Ohio to retire
Hanna, and probably also in Mary
land, though the legislature is yet
in doubt in the latter. The Repub-
lican maiorities were reduced about
half in Massachusetts,, Michigan
and Iowa. Kansas returned to her
first love, and Pennsylvania, the
only state in the Union where
wholesale murders Of laborers is
officially sanctioned, is, of course,
Republican.
The Silver Republicans carried
Colorado and probably 5. Dakota.
Van Wyck, Tammany Democrat,
was elected Mayor of greater New
York by a plurality of $4,000.
While the victory is not as effective
in some States as it might have been,
it presents glory enough for one
day, and insures victory for l6 to |,
and American Independence in
1900. Take courage, and 90 for
ward.

Rich Man. Poor Man.

A short time ago a man who had seen
better days approached several benevo-
lent looking gentlemen at we'll known
hotel, asking for meal Each one re-
pulsed him, until finally reporter,
who had just been paid off, invited
him to have snack with him. It was
a good snack, too, and it took all the re-
porter's money, but he said it was a
satisfaction to him to know that the
poor man had one square meal at last.
The incident reminded me Of the rich
man who told the poor man to work.
He said he couldn't get work, but still
the rich man said, You must work. "
Some time after the rich man fell into
the water and called to the poor man to
rescue him "Swim," said the poor
man. But can't swim, said the rich
man. We'll, said the poor man, "you
must swim" When a man asks aims,
it is always we'll to consider that some
day the situation may be reversed, and
then the man who can't swim must
drown. Boston Traveller ID 's-

Paving the Cook.

In old times to dine with nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than a
club dinner. James Payn relates that
Lord Poor, we'll named Irish peer, ex-
cused himself from dining with the
Duke of Ormand upon the ground that
he could not afford it. IF you will
give me the guinea I have to pay your
cook (fancyD, will come as often as
you choose to ask me, " which was &C.
cordingly done. The duke, however, had
not the pluck to stop the practice. Lord
Taafe, general officer in the Austrian
service, did what he could He always
attended his guests to the door. When
they put their hands into their pockets,
he said: "No. If you do give it, give it
to me. for it was who paid for your
dinner" To Sir Timothy Waldo must
be given the credit Of putting an end to
the monstrous practice. After dinner
with the Duke Of Newcastle he put q
crown into the cooks hand. It was re-
jected. II do not take silver, sir. :"
VERY good, and I do not give gold
This courageous rejoinder caught on,
and the day of walls to cooks was over
