nal. life is Gods university. Happi-
ness is the graduating point, but trouble
and adversely are among the chosen
teachers. The world is built for joy, but
man comes to his full estate through the
tutelage of sorrow. If man washes his
eyes in tears and makes his garments
white with blood. he, too, is promised
the throne and scepter of the higher man
hood.
Suffering is an alchcmist refining
coarscncss and transmitting bad into
good, sellishncss into sympathy. Steel is
iron plus fire. Tools are steel plus CASH

chisel, whose every stroke makes sparks
fly. Manhood is nature plus the tempta
tons that chisel out character. Bronze
doors Of old cathcdrals nre all of beaten
handiwork, and character is hammered
out on the anvil of adversely. Wine
comes through crushing of grapes, and
joy is n fine spirit oft distilled from bruis-

POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS.

T The charge is made that if Mayor
IMcLear had kept his word about
the men who we're to have been ap-
pointed on the Water and Street
and Sewer Commissions that the
Union Republicans would not have
put a ticket in the field this time,
which resulted so disastrously to
the Republicans. When he was
fixed upon two years ago to run for
Mayor, one of the men named for
commissioner was objection able to
the Union Republicans. He was
seen and promised that if elected,
he would appoint Stephen n. Dow
ney on one of the commissions.
Every body knows how the Mayor
kept his word. This" said a
well known citizen and Regular
Republican, "was the cause Of orr
defeat at the last election. And
yet the Mayor had desire 70 run
for another term. 1t is pity his
wishes had not been gratitied.
The Italian turnkey at the city
hall gives up his keys after the last
day in this month. He should not
have been placed in the position. He
is devoid of every instinct of human
ity and was never cut out for such
a position.
With less than twenty positions
to fill and two hundred applicants
for them, the lives OF the Democra-
tic City Councilmen are being made
miserable.
. Every day brings some new APP
plicant forward. There are those
who contend that two terms in any
city Office is as much as any person
should ask for or expect. Let the
good things 60 around, said well
known Democrat, as this is what
has kept the party in the ascenden-
cy so long in Delaware.
The Eighth warders have organ
lied new Republican club. They
are DESTROYS Of getting one hundred
names on the list before giving it a
name. This club is an offshoot of
the old Eighth ward Republican
Club, which was one Of the largest
ward political clubs in the city
The next appointment to be made
in Delaware will be the census
enumeration Then will follow the
census takers, some forty or more,
to canvass the State. They will be
aPportioned equally among the Re
publicans and Democrats. What
could be farer under Republican
Administration: How different to
what it was under the Cleveland
administration. But then the Re
publican party is always doing
something out of the ordinary.

of patent leather shoes which were ele-
waited on the scat in front of him. Finally
he espicd thread on ono Of his shoes,
and, seizing it, he gently drew it to him.
1t seemed to be quite long, SO he wound
around it his kid gloved hand. After get
ting quito knot of it he found it was fast
to his side, and, glancing along his log,
no discovered that he had unraveled one
seam of his trousers leg, which hung In u
