What They Wore.

A bicycling party was pursuing its lei
surely way along a delightful country road
the other day, when they came to par
ucularly well-kept kitchen garden, says
the Philadelphia North American. A patch
of most interesting growing things ran be-
side the fence for a distance of forty feet
There was innumerable stakes bearing
aloft globes of twenty different exquisite
shades of grayish green and grayish pur-
pie, which were so striking that the party
dismouuted with one accord.
How decorative!" said one of the men.
what lovely color!" said one of the
girls.
They would do to paint" said the art
list.
Won't you please tell us what those
beautiful things are?" asked the girl.
The gardener glanced around in amaze
ment, and then simply said: "Whch?''
why, these things growing along
the fence here. 1 never saw anything like
them"
A plying smile spread slowly over the
gardeners features.
Them he answered with a chuckle.
''Them's onions gone to seed"

hand at il. have only just got married,
and don't understand much about the bus

married man has any rights left when ne

Instance. Every box, every chest of draw
ers and portmanleau. and, in fact, every
available receptacle of every description,
is stuffed full of my wife's property, and
when l want to put away few cuffs and

Hold hard I know what you mean.
Listen, young man. If your bedroom were
200 yards long, lined from the door to the
ceiling with shelves. and YOU wanted a
place TO stow away a couple of shirts
you couldn't find nook that wasn't full
of hair-pins, scent bottles, old gloves,

SPECULATION As TO MIR. REEDS
PLANS.

The fact that Thomas Bracket Reed
has not resigned his position as a member
of Congress from Maine has given rise
to a great many speculations. One of
them is that he intends to remain a mem
Der and fight his party on the floor of
the House on the expansion question.
Another is that he hopes to make Pres-
dent Mckinley so unpopular on account
of the Philippine war that he will not be
able to get a denomination, and that in
that event he (Mr. Reed will stand an
excellent chance of being the partys stan
dard bearer.
Still another rumor is that II was Mr..
Reed who converted MIR. Croker from an
expanslonist to an anti-expansionist. They
came from Europe in the same ship, and
were much together during the voyage.
1t may be that Mr.. Reed is responsible for
Mr. Cookers change of views on the Phil
ippine question. II is certain that Mr.
Reed is so much of an anti-expansionist
that he feels it his duty to convert every
one he can to his way of thinking on that
subject.
But Mr.. Croker may have had another
thing in view in permitting himself TO be
converted to anti-expansion by Mr.. Reed
The latter is going to make his home in
New York city. He is going TO practice
law there. He is certain to be a power
in the metropolis Mr.. Croker would rath-
er have him for friend than an enemy.
As a beginning of their friendship he per-
mitted himself to be converted to Mr..
Reeds position on the Philippine question.
The conversion is likely to be regarded
by Mr.. Reed with pleasure, to say the
least OF 1t.
But there isn't any solid foundation for
the speculation that Mr. Reed intends to
retain his seat in the House and oppose
the administration on the Philippine ques-
ton. There isn't any probability of his
doing anything so foolish. He couldn't
afford to break with his party, and that
is exactly what he would do if he should
remain IN Congress and put himself in
opposition to his party lie would gain
nothing and would make for himself a
great many enemies.
Mr. Reed Will send his resignation Of his
place Ina Congress TO the Governor of his
state in time for holding an election TO
hll The vacancy. He Will give his a.ten-
ton 10 the business Of the law firm with
which Doe has become connected. lie ~

AN INTEREsTING sPECTACLE.

Tuesdays New York papers contained
an announcement of where Mr.. Croker
took breakfast, gave the names of those
who called on him, stated the nature OF
the business of his callers, in fact they
went into the minutest details of Mr..
Cookers affairs. One of them said that
Mr.. Coler. the controller, called on him
and reported to him all the affairs of
his office, and pointed out the trouble
he was having with the civil service com
mIssioners. The aspirants for the nomi-
nation for sheriff came to consult with
HIM. Ohcials in the various departments
of the city government came and reported
the condition of affairs in their respective
offices. He was treated as if he were
the ruler of the city.
And it must not be forgotten that this
man doesn't hold an Office. But he does
hold the great city of New York in the
hollow of his hand, as It were. And the
people of that city permit this private
citizen TO rule them just as if he were
chosen to perform that duty, instead of
being self-appointed. If the people of New
York are willing to be ruled by a boss
they ought not to complain of a boss

stood him in good stead. He attracted
the attention of Emperor John of Abyss

affair, but it excited the admiration and
wonder Of the dusky King. Later for EN-
peror Menelik he built a royal palace
and was then made sort of minister of

man, got rich, and lived in a palace OF
his own.

DIFFERENT KIND OF LAwLEssNEss

The blowing up of cars on the street
railway in Cleveland, o., on which there
is a strike, aud the boycotting of all per-
sons who patronize that street railroad,
still continue. Neither the civil authori-
ties nor the military have been able 70
restore order. Comparatively little about
all OF this Iawlessness is appearing in the
public prints. The killing of conductors
and motormen and the endangering of the
lives of citizens who patronize the boycott
ted railroad don't seem to call out indig-
nant protests from different parts of the
country.
Why is it that one kind of lawlessness
is condemned severely and another kind is
tolerated? Why is it that a little mob VIC.
lence in Georgia is reported with scare
headlines and commented on for days in
double-leaded editorials, while almost
nothing is said about the kind of violence
that has practically paralyzed the bust
ness of a great Western city?
In the mob violence that has prevailed
for many days in Cleveland lives have
been sacrificed and a condition of affairs
bordering on anarchy has existed. and
yet the great newspapers of New York
and Boston and Chicago hardly seem 10
be aware of the fact that the state Of af-
fairs in Cleveland isn't normal.
Il is true that in Cleveland the
trouble is the result of differences
between a street railway corpora
ton and its employees. but the effect Of
the lawlessness is just as injurious as the
effect OF the iawlessness which is provoked
By assaults on women by negroes. In fact
II is much more injurious. because the law
lessness is very much greater and the d.
rection Of IL is disrespect for and disregard
of all law.
What we would like TO know is this:
Why is it that the people Of Cleveland are
not as severely condemned by Boston and
New York papers for permitting and even
sympa thizing with the lawlessness IN that
city as the people OF Georgia are con-
demued by them whenever a lynching oc-

Once upon a time, says the Detroit Jour
nal, an operator in stocks was sold short
and ruin stared him in the face unless the
market should break.
In his desperation he remembered hav-
ing heard that honesty is the best policy.
He tried to dismiss the foolish thought,
but in vain. Finally, like the drowning
man catching at the straw, he resolved
to try being honest.
The very next day he put his design into
execution, and he had not been honest
more than twenty minutes when seventeen
OF the leading bulls fell dead, they were so
surprised at him.
Hereupon the market naturally broke
and the operator could get all the stocks
he wanted at his own figures.
Ii is claimed that some. if not all, of
these bulls had taken radishes and ham
for breakfast; but that, it is submitted,
does not destroy the moral of this fable

An IngersoII story.

The late Robert G. Ingersoll had bluff
way about his bestowal of favors, wheth-
er it was loan to a friend or aims TO a
beggar, says the Washington Post. In
the spring of 1898 he came TO Washington
on some business. His duties took him
to the department of justice. As ne came
down he passed an old woman sitting on
the doorstep She had a basket of violets
which partially proclaimed her as object
of charity. The big-hearted agnOstic was
in a hurry, but he stopped long enough TO
reach in his pocket and toss her a half
dollar
There, mother" he said, "go and buy
yourself some beer"
NO I won't" said the old lady. I'm
buy bread with that"
"Oh, you'll be so drunk in an hour that
you couldn't find a bakery laughed Col.
Ingersoll, as he walked away. 1t was
simply his manner of robbing his gener-
osity of ostentation.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Taking up Mr.. GoebeFs reference 10 the
letter of President Milton H. Smith of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company, in which the latter says he
favors the Republican ticket in Kentucky,
the Louisville Courier-Journa1 Dem)
says: The issue therefore, is neither OBJ
scure nor indirect 1t IS whether the
Louisville and Nashville or The people of
Kentucky shall govern Kentucky. There
is no disposition TO belittIe the power of
this great corporation. IT is no puny an
tagonist If il could do lis work under
cover there would be reason to fear for
the result Its ramifcations are multi
tudinous and widely spread. Its hold
upon its Instruments is strong. Its energy
and persistence are incessant. 1t will do
all il is able to do to defeat Goebel. But
it will fail, because its fight must be made
in the open, and the people are fore
warned as to what they have to meet and
overcome Under such conditions nothing
can prevail against Them"
The Birmingham News (Dem) takes this
optimistic view of the cotton situation;
For two or three years the farmers of
the South have grown cotton almost at a
loss. While prosperity has been coming
to other classes they were forced to sell
their staple at ruinously low prices be-
cause they overplanted and overproduced.
1t looks now as IL nature has taken
hand and cut down the yield. This, cou-
ped with the growing demand for manu-
featured products, will bring better prices
to the cotton planter. Higher cotton will
make the South as prosperous as other
sections in proportion 70 its resources.

recent needing OF the Stale Agricultural
Society at pullman than the great show

tural club. the session would have been

NEILL,s pREDICTIoN.

While cotton men generally are look.r-
for a smaller crop Of cotton for the sea-
son that is soon TO begin. MI Henry 81.
Nem Of New Orleans announces that the
crop WI be au exceptionally good one.
and that in volume is viii equa., II IL
doesn't exceed the crop of the season now
near its close. ID is unfortunate for the
cotton growers that MI NELL has on two
or three occasions guessed pretty closely
to the cotton Weld. so that he has in a
measure the confidence OF the cotton spin
ners Of Europe. HIS estimate Of the crop
for the season beginning with September
VIII have the effect OF causing European
spinners 10 buy just as httle cotton as they
can get along with. hoping by reduciuE
the demand that they will be ole 10 set
what they want at even .ower prices than
those prevailing.
Mr. Neil IL about the only cotton man
who thinks that the crop will be a large
one The opinion prevails among cotton
men quite generally. that the crop mas
been badly hurt in several of the states
10y the drought worms and rust. The
yield is being cut down also by shedding
on extensive scale. From what We have
seen in the public prints the opinion among
wei, informed cotton men is that the crop
viii be considerably below that Of the
season about closing.
Mir. NeiU has no superior means for dis
covering the actual condition of the crop
in the various parts Of the cotton belt
From what Mr.. CUTS, cotton buyer of
this city. says, ne Is not AS well equipped
for keeping in touch with all parts Of
the cotton belt as many other cotton men
are. He watches the weather and bases
his predictions on the information gained
from that source.
And yet this man has it Ia his power
apparently to cause the South 10 lose mi
lions of dollars annually by predicting a
large crop and thus leading the cotton
spinners of Europe 20 make their pur-
chases on the basis Of a large crop. 1t is
true that they run the risk of having to
pay a high price later in the season IL
it should then appear that the crop would
be a small one, but if they can get a low
price fixed at the beginning of the sea-
son they can manage 20 get a good sup
ply at low prices before the shortage
really becomes known. As for the cot
ton farmers, the most of the smaller ones
market their cotton just as soon as it is
picked and therefore a high price later
in the season is of no benefit to them.
There are many cotton men in this cOun-
try who are much better informed in re-
spect to the cotton crop than Mr.. NELL,
because their means for obtaining infor-
nation are very much greater, but. I'M
fortunately, the spinners of Europe do not
place as much confidence in them as they
do In Mr.. Neill. It is safe to say that
Mr.. NELL costs the cotton farmers many
millions of dollars every year.

Finlanders are looking to the Western
hemisphere for a refuge. A deputation
of them has been sent to Newfoundland
for the purpose of inspecting the country
there with a view to founding a colony.
Their idea in going that far north seems
to be to secure a climate as near like their
own as possible. The inspecting COM

states a visit before its return. The Fin
landers form a very desirable class of i'm
