'You wouldn't think he is the richest
man in Blank county. would you?" asked
the first man, according to the Detroit
Free Press.
"He certainly doesn't look the part"
wen. he is, even If he does wear over
ais and a 15-cent straw hat. He's in the
city, visiting his children, just now. and
a funny thing happened the other dav
He was standing on the corner with a
very smooth-looking chap when one of
his neighbors from Blank county happened
to see him. He took in the situation at
once, and thinking he might save the old
man a few thousand, he stopped to put
him on his guard.
" Now, see here, Jake. said he YOU
want to be careful whhe you're in the
city This place is full of bunco steorers
and first you know youll be taken in
And, by the way, I'd advise you to look
out for this young fellow you're with; he's
a pretty smooth-looking guy, and before
you know it hen be trying to sell you
gold brick.
but the joke was on the other fellow
for the 'smooth-looking guy was the old
mans son-in-law"
Il don't agree with YOU I think still
the joke was on the old man."
How"
II don't know of a more dangerous
bunco steerer than son-in-law." --

AITGELn,S FRESHNESS.

OF ex-Gov. Altgeld's ability there has
never been any doubt. The genuineness
Of his Democracy has been questioned,
aud the confidence in his sincerity is not
general in his own city and state. From
his point of view, however he is the lead
er of the Democratic party. Being the
chief author of the Chicago platform he
looks upon himself as the maker of the
doctrines of the party and the director of
its fortunes.
His utterances while in New York and
New England recently are the subject OF
great deal of comment in the papers of
that section. His announcement that the
gold Democrats could not return to the
party unless they had repented has sug-
gested to a number of papers this ques-
ton: Has Altgeld repented?"
It has been only a few months since he
bolted the Democratic party and ran as
an independent candidate for the office of
Mayor of Chicago. He was CANDIDATE
for the Democratic nomination for that po-
sltlon and was turned down by the party
organizat alton. He then came out as an
Independent candidate, and his socialistic
followers gave him hearty support The
Democrats of Chicago however left him
severely alone. His vote was COMPARE
lively a small one. and yet this bolter
who was repudiated by the Democrats of
Chicago talks as if he owned the Demo-
cratic party. And there are Democrats
who seem to be willing that he shall filI
the role of party dictator.

Now 1t is a New York man that con-
tributes an item of interest in connection
with the Dreyfus case. He tells rather
plausible tale Of a plot that was mad 2
10 release Dreyfus from Devils Island,
intmating that Fred Funston and several
others VINO have distinguished themselves
in the army lately were parties TO the
scheme. The arrangements were perfect.
1t is claimed and Dreyfus had been noti-
fed 10 be on the lookout fer his rescuers.
But when he learned what was up he
declined to have anything to do with the
plan and forbade that It go any further,
saying that he expected to be released
honorably. and that he would wait for his
freedom until such time as his innocence
had been fully and legally established.

ing that non-union cornerstone demand of
theirs ridiculous. Besides electing Presi-

bricklayers' union, so that he may use a
trowel in laying the cornerstone of the
new Chicago postoffice, without violating
the unions order that none save union
men shall be permitted to handle a trowel
in Chicago, the union IS to request Ad-

Office have the corner stone cut by union

The sailors of the steamship City OF
Rome were not in the least surprised the
other day when that vessel ran into coils
ion with an iceberg and narrowly escaped
being wrecked When the ship left Glas-
gov she had twenty ministers aboard
as passengers, and in the sailors quarters
AZ was affirmed with many strange oaths
that no vessel could possibly make a voy-
age with such hoodoo aboard without
having something happen TO her.

Numerous expedients for raising the
price Of cotton are being discussed by
che newspapers and conventions and COM
mittees. But there is only one sure way
of bringing about the desired result, and
that is TO produce only SO much cotton
as the world will consume at an advanced
price The law of supply and demand will
inevitably govern no matter what local
expedients may be resorted to.

or the chemists will go TO work and

ceeded in getting many things out of the
cotton plant besides cotton lint, and the
possibilities of the plant. they say, are
not yet exhausted.

Admiral Dewey Is the possessor of a
Tantalus loving cup. the gift of West

Fame, so placed that it is impossible for
one to reach the edge of the cup with
his lips and drink out of it. At the
same time, it is not likely that any pos
sble fluid contents of the cup will ever
go to waste, as long as the supply of hol-
low straws holds out.

The Moffatts of Raccoon Creek. w. Va,
liked William Mercer. He was the sort of
a man they wanted to have in the family.
so he married the eldest daughter of the
household, Jennie. After time Jennie
died, and then he married Ada, her sister.
Ada made him happy for few years,
then went the way of flesh and grass, and
he married Catherine. Catherine life was
short. and her successor as the wife of the
affections of William was Missouri A
few months ago Missouri died, and Will
lam went to town few days ago and pro-
cured a license 10 marry Anna. the last OF
the Monatt girls. Should she precede him
to the great beyond William would have
to go to another family for a bride, since
he has exhausted the family with which
he started. The four preceding wives left
him an average Of two children each, who
are said to live together as affectionate-
ly as cousins.

THE KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN.

The campaign in Kentucky grows in in
terest. A report has been put in circula-
ton that Mr.. Goebers managers, at a
meeting held in Louisville on Monday
suggested to him the advisability of ar
cepting the proposition of John Young
Brown, the gubernatorial candidate of the
boiling Democrats. That proposition is
that both Goebel and Brown withdraw and
let the party put up a gubernatorial can
didate on whom the party can unite. 1t is
doubtful if Mr.. Goebels managers ever
entertained this proposition, and it is safe
to say that if they did, it is certain that
Goebel wouldn't. He isn't the kind of
man to take a step backward. He would
remain at the head of the ticket even
though he was sure that he would be
beaten.
1t is a fact probably that the friends oe
Mr.. Blackburn, who is a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Senator
Lindsay, would be glad of some sort of
compromise that would make It certain
that a Democratic legislature would he
elected, and it may be that the friends of
Mr. Bryan are somewhat apprehensive
is the Presidential nominee of the party
if he stumps the state for Mr.. Goebel, as
he is pledged to do.
Taken altogether the Kentucky situation
is a complicated and a deplorable one.
The feeling between the Democratic fac
tons is increasing in bitterness. The bolt
ers' ticket is certain to poll pretty large
vote-large enough perhaps to give the
state 20 the Republicans. 1t is a pity that
there are not a few Democrats in the state
with influence enough to unite the warning
factions.
Even the gold Democrats of the state
are not satisfied. Gen. Buckner, who is
the leader of them. says he cannot vote
for Goebel, who, he says, is a Populist
he cannot vote for Brown. because Brown
is crazy on the subject of 16 to 1, and he
cannot vote for Taylor for the reason that
Taylor is a Republican. Therefore he in
tends to make out ticket of his own,
and vote it. He doesn't believe it will be
counted, however. He is satisfied that
means will be found to throw it out.

A new jury law VIII go into effect in
New York this month. Under its provis-
ions it will be practically impossible for
any qualified citizen to escape jury duty,
except for urgent reasons. Such a law
strictly enforced would do much 90 raise

quence. the administration of justice.

Rumors that Gen. Otis is to be relieved

There will be some natural disappoint-
ment felt at the failure of the Georgians
TO win the Hilton Trophy at Sea Grit
yesterday. But il is possibly better that
they should have lost it. Had they made
a clean sweep again this year, as they did
last, the other competitors might have
felt discouraged. and interest in the
matches might have waned. As it is, the
others will be encouraged. and the Geor-
gians will be animated by a new zeal. The
record made by the team last year was
phenomenal, and it was expecting too
much to look forward to a duplication of
that achievement. Meantime, the Savan-
nah boys have been doing some brilliant
work at the butts. They are still cham
pion shots. and the peers Of any men who
squint along rife barrels and pull trig-
gers.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Mail and Express (Rep)
says: "Small wonder if there exists a
certain lively antagonism to Pension Com
missioner Evans. During the last fiscal
year he disposed of IT'S criminal pension
cases in which the convictions numbered
157, while there are now pending through
out the country 3T cases. and two thor
oughly organized gangs of swindlers have
been run down in the South. This record
Commissioner-but il should make friends
for him among honest men,"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says According to the full text of
Aguinaldo's anniversary speech he said
that some of the states Of the American
Union have arisen in our favor, especial
ly the Democratic party. Aguinaldo was
misnformed as to any of the states rising
in his favor. but the Democratic party,
which has all it can do al present TO rise
in its own favor, has as yet done nothing
TO discourage this view of the Tagal in
surgent"
The New York Times CDem) says:
Upon the hole, the invasion of the Trans
vaal for the purpose of Fighting the
wrongs of the Uitlanders ia a proposition
much more attractive TO politicians who
talk about il at their ease in Birmingham
than TO generals who have actually to
plan aud execute 1t in South Africa. and
still more than to the troops upon whom
the brunt of the invasion will fall.
The Hartford Comm Times Dem)
says: Mark Hanna and William J. Bry-
an have got things fixed exactly to suit
them. Both say that 16 to / must be a
leading issue in the coming Presidential
campaign. We do not perceive that one
of these great men Is more earnest than
the other on this subject"
