by the amount of taxes he pays for the court house ring to feed and fatten upon. The statement that "all of them do not contribute $50 in taxes toward the support of the couL ty in whose official and govern mental affairs they have lately manifested so lively and startling an interest, is utterly untrue, so far as the editor of the GRAPHIC is con cerned, but whether it is or not, it is the frst time we have ever seen it openly conteuded that mans right to participate in government af- fairs is measured by the amount of taxes he pays. This IS the Mark Hanna idea of government, which the editor Of the Press-Eagle has absorbed and whose candidate the latter indirectly at least, supported for President in 1896, but it is not very good Democratic doctrine,
 No, the editor of the GRAPHIC is not rich, as EditorMurray is reputed to be, but what we have we have earned by hard and honest labor. We have often heard it rumored that Editor Murray emerged from a certain bank failure a suddenly rich and wealthy man, aud that he turned up with much of the bank presi- dents property Qncluding 5he Press Eagle bloek) in his own name aad possession, 1t might therefore be well for Editor Murray 10 explain how he got if, aLd in talking about large taxpayers, to explain how he got on the list.

The five proxies recorded above as having voted against the nomination of Mccoy are clever young men in their way, and of course voted as they were instructed by their princi- pals; but we venture the assertion that all oF them. (including Proxy Editor Adams) do not contribute $50 in taxes toward the support of the county in whose official and gov ernmental affairs they have lately manifested so lively and startling m interest.
 The above is taken from the Press Eagles comments on the vote for Brewster when Mccoy was declared the nominee by the proxy Central Committee. "Ye Gods and little dsbesm Has it come to such pass that a citizen and democrat, unless he pays big taxes to feed and fatten the court house ring, is entitled to 10 consideration at the hands of the ring From the Press Eagle state ment we opine that man influence with the court house gang (Editor Proxy Murray inc.uded)is measured

The GRAPHIC several days agoealled attention to the fact tbat all the Mccoy supporters or organs could say for their chief is that he was de. clared the democratic nominee by the so-ealled central comnittee But none of them have undertaken to show that Mccoy was, in fact, the nominee by the votes of lhe people. and, therefore, had the right to be dee7ared the nominee.

Being unable to answer Gen. Whites arguments or to clear away Mccoy record for "oficial integri. ty, Buckle Blooms Commercial now seeks to asserse Gen White. This is in keeping with the manners of the turkey bQzAard and another sample of Buck Bl6or's $ political methods. Instead of answering arguments and satisfying the records of history, the McCoyites seek 10 villifg and black guard those who oppose their selfish and unseru- pulous efforts. This is in keeping with their log level of politics.

I never read the papers without feeling so content That both my eyes are twisted and my nose is slightly bent. I'm glad my mouth is out of line and that my teeth are few, And if l had wealth of hair" l don't know what I'd do. A atiny foot or lilly hanle would fill mo with diamag, And if had a slender waist I'd sicken in a day, For have noticed from the first, as strange as it may seem, The girl who gets the worst of it is lovely as dream" gho papers never tell about woman being shot, Or mangled by a trolley ear, or married to n sot, Or forced at point of pistol her last fifty cents to lose, But that her eyes arc 'limpida and her boots are number twos. So l can live in sweet content, without the slightest fear That trouble or calamity will ever hover near, And when l sec my misit face it's some relief 10 know That I'll outlivo the beauties by hundred years or sot

One of Perry's Lake Erie Fleet.

Buried deep in the sands at the
edge of Spring Lake, near Grand
Haven, Mich, lies the hull of the
old sloop Porcupine, which was one
of Lieutenant Oliver H. Perry fleet
in the battle of Lake Erie. The old
boat is nearly gone. She has laid
there since 1873, when she went out
of service, and was beached by a
gang of men who had tried to rig
her up as lumber lugger. D. M.
Ferry, later Il United States senator
from Michigan, owned the land
where the discouraged sailors flung
the hull, and he left her there to
work deeper and deeper into the
sand. She is just at the end Of one
of his docks now, but he knew the
honorable part she had played, and
while he lived he refused to move
her. Chicago Post.

An Erratic wrIUer.

When Thomas Bailey Aldrich was
small salaried clerk in George W.
Carleton's book store on Broadway, Fitz
James O'Brien was in the habit of
dropping in to see him, and one day
came in rather more than half seas
over. Aldrich decided to take him
across the street to hotel and put him
to bed. Cautiously and carefully he led
O'Brien, but before he had got half
way across friend stopped him and
asked: "Why do you want to bother
with the fellow. Let him go.'' ~ will
not, +" replied Aldrich. "He borrowed a
dollar from me few days ago, and
can't afford to let anything happen to
him.
At another time, when he was not
strictly sober, O'Brien found himself
out of funds He wandered into a pub
lisher's office and asked for $25. This
was refused him. Angrily Selling a
placard O'Brien reversed it and made
in big letters on the blank side: Gone
OF IS authors. I am starving" Ty-
ing string to the card, O'Brien placed
it around his neck and paraded up and
down the street, to the great amuse-
ment Of large crowd. He was of
course requested to desist, but nothing
stopped his mad course until SIS bill
was presented to him as compromise.

SCOTS Emulsion
Want of Tact.

Never say too much. Manners go
a great way, and delicate matters
managed with tact can be carried
out without the slightest blow to
the sensitive feelings of the parties
concerned. 1t is not tact to rush up
to person and say, "How i'll you
are looking Any one who is not
feeling well generally knows all
about it and does not like to be re-
minded of the fact. On the contrary,
in meeting anybody who is looking
particularly well or handsome, then
is the time to speak. To be able to
keep people in good humor and
never rub them the wrong way
shows wonderful amount of tact,
but how many people there are who
are always doing or saying the
wrong thing.
Two old school friends who had
not seen each other in years met
again short time ago, and almost
Immediately after the first words of
greeting had been exchanged, the
one exclaimed to the other, "Why,
you look as if you had been crying
for years; your face is SO wrinkled. y
Now that remark, to say the least,
did not show tact, and in a measure
it destroyed the old feeling of affec-
ton which had existed for so many
years. People do not like to be told
disagreeable facts, but when an I'M
pleasant truth must be told, to use
a little tact in the telling of it will
make the hurt less deep. Say and
do pleasant things in this worl6
whenever it is possible, but if disc
greeable ones come to the surfaca
handle them as gently as possible
to spare the feelings of others.-De-
