Tammany,s Boss Dressed up by Henri!

TammRny's Boss Dressed up Oy heilE1
WattersOn.
Louisville Courier Journal: The Hon.
croker-for being engaged in the BUSH
ness of politics Mr.. Croker is necessa-
rily "'Hon."-ls still talking.
He began talking during the last New
York campaign and kept 1t up SO olll,
gently that he completely destroyed
whatever chance for election the Demo
cratic ticket had.
Then he hled him away to Europe,
stlll talking, talking, talking; and now
he returns from Europe, still taikihS'
Naturally, as he is still talking on ques-
lions on which he was talking when ne
left, he is talking on the opposite sides
to those on which he was talking men.
No one can talk as long and as much
on any subject as the Hon. Croker talks
without talking on all sides OF II, ne
IS bound to talk on all sides OF IT, he
Is bound to talk all around II sooner OF
later; and generally sooner.
When the Hon. Croker sailed away ne
wns talking on the side OF expansion,
talking real hard, as II he actually
thought Il made any difference TO the
country ut large what opinions the
head OF Tammany held, or professed 70
hold, on any matter of principle; ana
when he returns he is talking right
along at the some old clip, bnt against
expansion.
When Tnmmany begins tahng any
thing seriously on matters OF principle.
"it ia to laugh" Where was there
ever an issue OF principle that Tamma-
nv cared anything about except as an
aid to II in It's business Of getting ana
holding the offices for It's membeFsE II
has been on both sides, and on neither
side, OF every issue Of principle that has
come up In recent years. II was SO
with reference to the tariff. 1t was 80
with reference to silver. II the Hon.
Croker is to be recognized US speaking
authorItatIvely for the organization II
has been so with reference to expan-
sion.
II is entirely reasonable to believe
that the Hon, Croker represents ram
many In this. Tammany cares nothing
one way or another for expansion. II
It can throw out its nets SO as to "ketch
'em a-comIn' an a-gwine." so much the
better, especially since the Hogg Incl
dent has shown the Tammany leaders
that 1t won't be good pie politics to cut
loose entirely from Bryan yet. Croker
has made a bungllng boss, but he Is not
so blind as to what Is expected OIL MIN
ms not to be ready to run wild or agtn
Bryan, as developments may dictate.
At the same time 1t Is Interesting 10
recall that the most successful ram
many bosses have not been loquacious.
And Croker does not shine as taiker'
There Is no instance In memory Mhsre
his volubllity ever did himself OF MS
machine any good.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachlan Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
inn but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.

THE LONELIEST GIRL.


"uon Marcia Andrews moved to
chicago from the country village In
which she had always lived she natur-
any expected to be little lonely at
nrst. But she Just as naturally believ-
60 that the loneliness would not last
long. She had always got quickly ac-
quainted with the few new girls" who
mad moved into Bridgeport during her
Incline. She saw no reason why city
people should take any longer to per-
form a like ceremony. And she was
more than ready TO meet them half
way.
but the boys and girls who went to
the public school and the Sunday
school which Marcia attended in Chi
easo already knew lots OF other boys
and girls. and. especially as the
stranger entered into the class work
rather late In the term they we're quite
ielly occupied with their own interests.
SO when Marcia had been going to the
Hammond school regularly every day
Tor three months she was very lonely.

But something happened very soon
after Marcia thus fretted to her mother
which. while II deepened her loneli-
ness for a time. brought matters out all
right in the end.
Staying late at school one evening,
In order 10 glance over a book in the
