CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE BALANCE OF POWER.

In such a crisis as that OF last year
they vote on the main issue of the
campaign, and they may be said on
that occasion to have declared against
the free coinage of silver. But their
last expression of opinion means pre-
cisely what has been meant on former
similar occasions. IL means that the
people are dissatisfied with either
party that happens to be responsible
for the conduct of affairs. It means
that there is unrest and discomfort,
and that the people have no love for
either of the organizations, and espec-
tally they have no affection for the
bosses of the two parties. The result
OF every election, therefore, in which
there is no such central and well-de-
fined issue as there was last year is not
the expression OF a preference for any
one candidate or set OF candidates, but
blow at the particular politicians
who are in. The Republicans are in
now. and are meeting with the punish
ment due to their bosses and to the
party's lack of comprehension of the
needs of the time. If the Democrats
were in they would doubtless be suf.
fering defeats in the local elections,
and for similar reasons. The situation
is very bad but not so bad as it would
be If the people were content to sub
NIT for any length of time to either
party. 1t seems as though something
better must come out Of this swinging
of the pendulum from one evil to the
other The country has waited long
and anxiously for the rising of some
one with the spirit and the training OF
leader who will be able to lift us
out OF the slough, and who will be the
organizing head of party that will
deserve to endure beause it will be
dominated by intelligence and patriot
ism. and not by ignorance and greed

HOW BRIDGET WAS REFORMED.

Timely Hint from Her Mistress Deli

She was a very jewel of a cook when
she wasn't in a temper, and, as this in
ability to live peacefully with her fell
lows constituted her sole fault, three
times had the other feminine servants
been discharged for her sake. But when
she began to be impertinent to the

she evolved clear plan of action.
When next Bridget came upstairs for
orders she found her mistress a prey to
severest melancholy.
"An' what's the matther, mum ?" she
nslSed, anxiously. being the kindliest
of women In her normal condition. Her
mistress sighed mournfully.
I'm rather troubled, Bridget" she
said, quietly, looking anywhere but at
her listener. I'm going to have two
dinner parties next week. you know.
and dread having q new cook at such
tines"
Bridget, sure of her desirability, and
grown flushed with many triumphs,
stared.
AN why shud ye be afther havin'
new cook, NUM-" she inquired, amazed
ly. "Ain't ye satisfied wild me2"
Perfectly satisfied with your serv-
ices, Bridget" was the still more quiet
reply, "but itwon't be possible for two
of us to live in the same house If you
are going to be impertinent to me.
Now, I've discharged the other girls
on your account several times of late.
but L really don't think that either my
husband or my sons would be willing to
let me go in order to keep you. Ireally
think they would prefer getting q new
cook to losing me-"
Bridget made no response, but she
suddenly developed an unwonted de-
gree of self-control, and, her mistress
reports that she has never again been
impertinent.-Chicago Times-Herald.

THE EARLY MOTH.
This Is the Time TO Take Up Arms
Against It's

This Is the Time 10 Take Up Arms
Against Its
Any unlighted corner that harbors
wooden garment or fur wrap in spring
time is the camping ground for an adj
vance guard which does deadly work
before the actual battle is on. House
cleaning week scatters these voiceless
"harbingers of spring" and puts them
81 rout, but it is ten chances to one
that while Mary Ann is viciously slay-
ing the white-wnged enemy fluttering
forth from hidden hooks and crannies
she is blissfully ignorant of the fact
that at that stage the moth is no longer
dangerous. In silence and darkness it
has deposited its eggs and left them to
do their worst, and, indeed, this airy
nutter through lighted rooms is after
all only a sort of bravado, which leaves
the same Mary Ann content to kin the
only thing that is no longer a menace
10 her general thriftiness. As these
airy travellers then begin TO appear, as
they will in, a short time now, the thing
to do is not to fly after twem in mad
haste and lose breath, temper and per-
haps the intended victim itself in a msd
desire for murder.
If moths could laugh (and who ca1
prove that they ,S)n't?) such periodical
chasing must be wondrous funny. But
when the wary housemaid smiles scorn-
fully at the 1uttering bit of life before
her and goes, brush in hand, toward the
darkest pegs in the wardrobe, then
must the early moth confess itself un-
done. A few vigorous shakes, n sound,
sharp swish of brush or whislS, and
hours summing in the open air, these are
the deadly foes Of hidden things whose
work goes bravely on if they are left
alone until the coming season finds the
unbrushed, mistaken wrap falling to
pieces in it's dismayed owners hands.
Now is the proper time, then, to begin
active warfare; it is little too early
to pack heavy clothing away, but it is
not a day too soon to give it constant
dustings, shalSings and beatings; by
and by camphor or tar or all other
denominations may do their work. but if
women only knew that little vigilance
in time makes all those ill-smelling
things unnecessary there would be such
q panic in mothdom as this world has
not yet witnessed.-St. Louis Republic.

YALE INVITED TO ROW IN GER
MANY.

New Haven, May 12.-Yale's naval
managers have received the most
unique invitation to enter a rowing
race in the history OF the Yale navy. 1t
has Just come from the "Allgemein ALL
ster Club" of Hamburg, and has been
slightly delayed in receipt. The chal-
lenge is in German, and, translated,
reads as follows:
ITO the President of the Rowing De-
partment of the American University,
Yale, New Haven. COnn.-Most Re
spected Sir: In the enclosed / send you
for inspection a program of the Inter-
national Amateur Rowing Regatta held
last year at Allster. | cOurteOusly re-
quest, also, that your organization take
part in the same regatta, which will be
held this year on July II and Is.
II pledge you that your organization
will receive a sympathetic and friendly
reception from the local rowing society.
You will do me a great favor If you will
have the graciOusness to announce, as
promptly as possible, to me your in
tention OF taking part in the regatta
this year.
believe me, most respectfully yours
"a. o. Schumacher,
president Of the General Allster Row
ing Club, of Hamburg"
There are many reasons why Mana
ger Wheelwright is constrained to de-
cline the invitation. The regatta is
scheduled to have it's finals rowed on
/ Sunday. and the Yale faculty would
veto the plan for this reason. The
races take place after the Yale crew
has scattered for the Summer and. fol
this reason, an acceptance would be i'm
possible Nothing is said, either, of the
task of raising the $4,000 necessary fol
taking the trip. and thus all indication!
are that the invitation will be over
looked.
