tribe in this city.
The latest performance of one of these note
worthy cats, and by no means the most intelli-
gent OF the lot, deserves recognition. II shows
not only deep affection, hut an amount of oh
servatiOn and daring that do credit 10 the race.
IL seems that an abundant mother. whose kit
tens were in the basement kitchen OF n house
there. was herself by accident shut into the
dining room. which, had no connection with tho
room below except by way OF n dumb waiter.
Aitcr II tinr there was Il very strong mutual
desire on the part OF the cat and the kittens for
a meeting. The old cat mewed and that made

The republican politicians of Ohio have
a record for Ofice-seeking and Office
holding that is not equaled by the politi-
clans of any other state They seem to
think they ought to have all the offices
in The gift of the government from the
President down TO the laborers in the
different departments. In The carpet-bag
period they were everywhere in the south,
and they grabbed every Office that it was
possible for them to get
Az present they are trying to have the
civil service law repealed. Some of the
best places under the government are
held by democrats, and that fact makes
them feel that the law is depriving them
of what belongs 10 them. Nearly all the
Ohio senators and representatives are in
favor of the spois system. Some of them
specially Senator Hanna and Repre-
sentative GrosVenor-have called upon Che
President a number of times lately, with
the view of getting him to so modify the
civil service rules that some Of the demo-
Gratis could be got rid of and their places
filled with Ohio republicans. OF course,
IL ali the offices were filled with Ohio re-
civil service reform from Ohio Then,
civil service reform would be a good thing.
AS soon as congress reconvenes the de-
bate on the question of modifying the civil
service law will be begun. IT is expected
that it will last nearly q week. If it is
found impossible to secure a modification
of the law an effort, 1t is said will be
made to starve to death the civil service
commission-that is, an effort will be
made to defeat The eppropria ton for the
commission
The President is, of course, greatly wor-
ried by the stand against civil service re-
form which his Ohio friends have taken.
He would like TO please them, and yet he
and his party are pledged to the reform.
To refuse to stand by his platform would
ALLEVIATE large percentage of his follow
ing and would endanger his chances for
a denomination. His position, therefore,
i'm this matter of civil service reform is
not one that brings him unaloyed pleas

The announcement in New York that
Richard Croker. the Tammany boss Is 10
be the president OF the Democratic CLUB
Of that city has caused political sensa-
ton in New York political circles. ordi-
narily The presidency OF a social club
doesn't carry with it any political signih-
canoe. but the presidency of the demo-
cratic club is understood TO mean a great
deal more than the performance of a few
social duties. At the present time the
democratic club in New York is the Man
haitian, which is housed in the marble
palace that was built by the late \. T.
Stewart. Mr. Croker once belonged TO
that club, but he did not ind the sur
roundings there altogether agreeable.
There were too many mugwumps among
the members to suit him.
He doesn't intend that there shall be any
mugwumps in the Democratic Club. Only
democrats Of the genuine type will be ad-
mitted TO membership. The club will be
the headquarters not only of city demo-
Gratis, but it will include among its MEM
bers prominent democrats of the state out
side of the city, and also distinguished
democrats of other states IN a word, the
purpose is to have a democratic club which
will exercise a powerful influence in city
state and national politics.
1t may be that Mr.. Croker regards him
self as the greatest political boss in the
country, and intends to make his influ-
ence felt in state and national politics, as
well as in the politics of the city. That
may be the reason why he is trying to
draw distinguished democrats to New
York from all parts of the country-such
democrats as ex-senator Eustis of Louis
lana and ex-senator German of Maryland.
| The Democratic Club is starting modestly,
but it would not be surprising If it should
become the source of many and far reach
| ing political schemes and should be recog-
nized as great factor in the politics of
| the country.

senator Hanna's Prospects.

If we are to believe what Mr.. Hannas
republican enemies in the Ohio legisla.
ture say he hasn't a ghost of a chance to
be elected to the United States Senate.
But are they not claiming too much? Are
they sure that all the republicans they
are claiming as hostile to him will vote
against him?
il they We're more reticent in their cam
paign work there would b. more conf
dence I'm their ability to defeat Mr.. Hanna.
They appear to be talking, however, for
the purpose of making the country be-
lieve that they have got Mr.. Hanna beaten
already.
The dissatisfied republicans expect, of
course, that the democrats will assist
them. It may turn out that the demo-
Gratis viii not permit themselves to be
used by Mr. Hanna's enemies in his own
party, and 1t is quite certain that some
of the republicans who are counted on to
vote against Mr. Hanna win not do So
One of them has published card in which
he says that he will vote for Mr. Hanna
The publication of this card indicates in
a measure the unreliabnity of the claims
made by Mr. Hanna's enemies.
Mr. Hanna has not apparently had a
doubt at any time that he would be
elected. The understanding seems to be
that those of his own party who are op-
posing him want to control the federal
patronage in Ohio, and that they will
withdraw their opposition if given what
they want Because they are seeking
spois rather than Mr.. Hanna's defeat is
the main reason probably why the dem
ocratic members Of the Legislature do not
seem to care to fuse with them. No doubt
the members viii be full of predictions of
Mr.. Hanna's defeat from the meeting of
the Ohio legislature until the senatorial
question is settled but there isn't much
doubt that Mr.. Hanna will be elected He
is not the kind of a man to increase the
Senates reputation for craftsmanship, but
that fact doesn't lesson his chances for be-
ing elected.

senator Kenna's Luck at Raining

l was told a curious story the other day
about the late Senator Kenna of West Vir-
sinia, who statue is to be placed in the cap
itol in a few days, says a writer in the
Chicago Record.
When he first came to congress O. Mrs.
Kearon, who lived in the same boarding
house, persuaded him to buy ticket in a
rattle at a church fair for a cooking stove
and complete kitchen outfit. His ticket
turned out to be the lucky one, and he
sent the goods to his home in West Vir-
Sinia. While he was arranging for their
shipment at the railway station he was in
troduced to the young lady who afterward
became his wife, and jocularly invited her
to become his cook. She replied that she
would be very glad to do so. The next
winter Mrs. Kearon sold Mr. Kenna a tick
ct in another fair, given by the same
church. This time the prize was a plain
gold ring, and again he was successful.
He put the ring carefully away until it
was needed at his wedding few months
later, and it so happened that his bride
was the first persons to use the cook stove.
Mrs. Kenna is now postmistress at
Charleston, w. Va, and the legislature
of that state has decided that its repre-
sentative in the gallery of statues Of states
men at the capitol shall be the man who
won his wedding ring and his kitchen fur
niture at a rattle.

Representative Dingley IS expert Juggling
with the treasury figures as highly anus
ing but it lacks a great deal of being sat
isfying The sum and substance of the
situation seem to be that when there are
no great expenditures paid from the treas
ury the new tariff bill raises a surplus, but
when the interests and other payments
make a run on the treasury, there results
a deficiency. Mr. Dingley expects the rev.
enues for the next six months to exceed
the expenditures; but he has been indulg-

bill was first under discussion. The gov

Those who are trying TO get the cotton
growers to unite in favor of reducing cot
tom acreage will meet with no success in
taeir undertaking. They will find the cot
ton crop steadily increasing, and the in
crease will be largely due to the agitation
of the question of reducing the acreage.
The agitation suggests the probability of
a reduction of the cotton crop, which
means a higher price for cotton The
probability is sufficient to induce a large
percentage of cotton growers to increase
their cotton acreage.
The wiser plan would be to let natural
laws control. A low price of cotton for
two or three years in succession would be
more effective in reducing the acreage
chan the adoption of hundreds OF resolu-
lions by cotton growers conventions.

commandments Goblin OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic says that "an that
the grand army asks is that those who
We're disabled either by wounds or dis
ease while in the service shall receive pen
sions." There is no objection anywhere
to the payment of pensions to worthy vet
Grams of the federal armies. What is OBJ
jected to is the payment of pensions to IN
worthy persons who get their names on
the rolls through sharp practice. and the
payment of enormous sums of pension at
torneys who perpetrate frauds up
on the pension rolls and the poo
pie. Commissioner Evans is authority
for the statement that pension attorneys
have been paid S13O00,OCO in the last thir-
teen years. Why should the government
be called upon to support and enrich these
persons? Were they ever disabled in
the service?"
