A Desperate Hazard.

II is possible that If Cuba and all the
remainder of the world were at peace
the Fifty-sixth congress, which will be
elected next November. would be Dem
ocratic. The congress following a
change in the national administration
usually is not in unison with the new
administration. Patronage quarrels,
popular reaction under the disillusion-
ment incident to impossible eXpecta-
tions and that natural disposition
among disconnected Americans to make
the party in power the scapegoat OF
their own shortcomings-all these
things explain why it is difficult under
the best of circumstances for ma
tional administration TO hold it's own
in the even numbered congresses.
But it is seldom that an administra-
tion deliberately invites defeat, and in
asmuch as the Mckinley administra-
ton has heretofore given convincing
evidence of being in the complete and
well balanced possession Of all its
faculties. we must assume that the
frightful political hazard which it is
taking in its utterly unpopular treat
ment of the Cuban issue is based upon
Information of the first Importance
which the public generally does not
know. Unless the sequel shall justify
its now inscrutable caution, it will re-
quire no gift of prophecy to foresee
that the Republican membership in the
next congress will hardly be large
enough to cast a respectable shadow.

Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, asserts
that the week before the balloting at
Columbus he positively declined to be
a candidate for senator in opposition
to Mark Hanna. The governor has

Origin Of "0ld Glory" /"

The war with Spain has been resp0n-
sible fer at least three hundred songs
written expressly to stimulate the pa
triOtism of the people. OF all the
songs that have seen the light Of print
during the present troublesome time,
one seems to have the lasting qualities =
and this one was written long before
the war with Spain was ever dreamed
Of This song isentitled ''Old Glory"
and the words were written by John
Northern Hilliard, and the. music was
composed by George Newell LovejOy.
s'Old Glory" has been received with
generous praise, many critics going so
far as to claim for IL the honor of being
the coming national song, says the
Dramatic Mirror. Mr.. L0vejoy, the
composer, is a nephew Of Elijah p.
Lovejoy, the famous Abolitionist, who
was murdered in Alton, ILL.,, ia 1887,
aud to whom monument was erected
last summer One day last summer,
after having witnessed the unveiling Of
the LOvejoy monument, Mr.. LOveioy
was reading a magazine. His attention
was arrested by a number of verses
barring the title ''Old Glory" The
first reading convinced him that they
were the words he had 50 long sought,
and then aud there he jotted down the
melody. Arrangements were made
with the author Of the words, and when
the song was ready for publication Con-
gress commenced the discussion Of the
Cuban question.

Robbed the Grave.


A startling incident, Of which Mr..
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:

The cOstliest Machins Ever Made.

P. T Dodge, a well-known patent at
torney of New York city and Wash
ington, has presented to Cornell uni
versity, through DIR. Thurston, OF
Sibley college, what Is said to be the
eostliest piece of machinery ever con-
structed. Ii is the original Paige type
setting machine, the only one Of its
kind ever built, and was CONSTRUCTED
at an expense of nearly $4,000. 900.
Besides being the eostIiest piece Of ma
chinery in the world, it is at the same
time one OF. the most remarkable and
ingenious. 1t consists of over 1900
parts, and is in every detail beautifully
perfect in its working. 1t IS not built
on the plan of the ordinary typeseIting
machine, which mOnlds its own type,
but like a human being handles ordi-
nary type, sets it, leads 1t, and dis
tributes it as though it were person.
The invention was a failure in COM
merciaI sense, for even after the first
machine was perfected it was impossi-
BILE to build the machine 50 that il
could be sold. The machine occupies
door space IL! by 81 feet and has a
maximum height Of 6. feet. The new
gift to Cornell is all the more interest
ing inasmach as it was in the con-
struetion Of this machine that Mark
Twain sunk some OF his fortune.

Cream left to itself will spontaneously
