A Rotten State.

Pennsylvania is a" reliable" Repub-
lican State; it gives majority any
way from 100000 to 100000 for that
party. For years it has been known
that the State has been carried by
fraudulent practices. An honest cleo
ton in the city of Philadelphia is a
thing unknown. Tammany is a
sanity and modest creature compared
with/the ring that is in control o! the
affairs OF the Quaker city. John
Wanamaker who has had experience
both with the machine" and the re-
formers, in recent statement, in
speaking of the politics and corrup-
tions rampant in Pennsylvania, says:
"In Philadelphia we have not had
an honest election for many years,
and the debauchery of the ballot has
acquired the system and precision of a
science with the dominant so-called
Republican machine. This has not
been the growth OF day or of a year,
but has been perfected by steady,
systematic development of the most
minute details of original ingenuity.

A Struggle.

A writer in Popular Science relates
a humorous story of an American
tourists struggle with the French
menu.
The loyal son of Uncle Sam was to-
tally unversed in the French language
in ordinary use, much more so in the
menu. He motioned to the bowling
and scraping waiter, and pointed to
the first item. Soup was at once
brought OH.
Taking his chances to get in the
fish course he pointed to another line
a little further down. Again soup
Still further down, and by this time
an expression on the walters counten-
ance that plainly said Gan escaped
patient from a lunatic asylum" Tor
the third dish still was not out the ex-
tended list OF soups.
With hungry determination to get
out of that soup list, he pointed to the
last item on the menu, and toothpicks
were produced by the now thoroughly
astonished waiter. The diner abrupt
ly finished his meal.

The disappearance of Ruth Inman
is one of the strangest cases of its
kind. Mr. and Mrs. Inman live at
Creston, small town twenty miles
from Davenport. Sunday afternoon,
October %, the Inman family drove to
the farm of William Watson, near
Parrot postolfice, which is located a
few miles south of Harrington. Lit
tie Ruth had been sitting on her
mothers lap for some time and final
ly joined the other children in play
around wagon which was left in the
road just outside the yard. This was
at 3 p. m.
HALF an hour later the children
came into the house, and Mrs. Inman
noticed that little Ruth was missing.
A search was begun, and when half an
hour had expired, with no results, the
women were thoroughly frightened.
A farm hand was sent to Creston for
assistance, and general search was
commenced. Day after day went by
without the slightest clue being OBJ
tained. The other children remem.
bered that Ruth came out to the
wagon, but do not know when she
wandered of.
Two weeks ago n big searching
party was organized under the leader
ship of Sheriff Gardner and Joel War
rem OF Spokane. Over 100 men par
ticipated in the search, which lasted
five days, with no results. Then the
hunt was given up, as every acre oi
ground for many miles around the
Watson farm had been thoroughly ex-
plored.

John z. McLean's Statement.

John R. Mclean, the defeated
Democratic candidate for Governor,
has Issued statement in which he
says:
"Only look back four or five years,
when the Republicans carried Ohio by
$4,000, with 100000 majority over all
the other candidates, and now, with
nearly 100000 votes cast, Nash is
chosen Governor, but in minority of
$4,000.
"The result is both astonishing and
gratifying and shows the attitude of
the people in the State of Ohio toward
the present administration.
"Ours is great. big, splendid
country and have great faith in the
people. The administration must not
be fooled and think this is a vote of
approval. 1t is defeat. With all
their combinations, Offices, money.
threats OF loss of Office, they should
have carried the State by 100000 ma
jority. Think of it! the home of the
President, the home of Mark Hanna,
chairman of the National Republican
Committee, and yet Nash is elected
by $4,000 votes less than majority.
at was heralded by bitter, unfair
partisan press that l would spend great
quantities Of money to accomplish my
election. If I had spent all l have,
what would it have availed against the
contributions of 10000 ofiice-holders;
of numberless protected trusts, with
millions upon millions OF capital? 1t
is another illustration OF the power of
trusts, of combined wealth against
men who were only fighting for what
they thought was right.
"I think the result in Ohio is n
great victory for the people. All the
power of the government, all the
money that cajoling, that threaten
ing, that the lash could bring, was got
together. For there was not United
States legation in Europe that did not
receive letter demanding of the min
lister and all his surroundings a con.
tribution to the Hanna fund.
"Think of the disgrace! A letter
was sent to me from London, telling
me all about this thing. Surely day
of resentment against such practices
is coming"

The Maltreated Store Clerks.

"The reputation which some large
stores get for being disobliging to
their customers or having uncivil
clerks could in the majority of cases
be traced directly back to the shop.
pers themselves" writes Edward Box,
of "Systemless Shopping" in the
November Ladies Home Journal. al
make no claim of perfection for the
clerks who stand behind the counters
OF our great stores where women shop.
They are only common mortals, full
OF faults. But considering what they
are called upon to go through and en-
dure at the hands of thoughtless wo-
men, the constant wonder is that
they are so civil and obliging. If
the truth could be known it would be
found that they suffer far more than
they inflict suffering. If the roll
could be called of d-working, in
nocent girls, who have lost their posi-
tions because of ill-founded COM
plants made by influential GUS
toners whose accounts the firm could
not afford to lose, it would be q roll
OF disgrace to American shoppers.
The girls behind the counter are hui

some women we might believe other
wise-human in their faults, but also
in their finer feelings. Very often
they represent better families, better
breeding, than that which is revealed
to them from the other side of the
counter"

OF flies the mosquito has received most
personal attention from the poets
perhaps because she has been lavish in
personal attentions to them. Bryant
has deemed her worthy of n separate
poem in which he recognizes her as a

here
To bleed a brother poet. gannt like thee?
Alas. the little blood have is dear,
And thin will be the banquet drawn from me

OF blood to the singer is problematical.

The Jerusalem Railroad.

The new railroad between Jerusalem
and Jafh has been the cause of real
estate boom in Jerusalem. The rail-
road pail over $4,000 an acre for land
for its terminus, which could have
been bought for 81 an acre thirty
years ago. The building of this road,
says the New York Tribune, suggests
the realization OF Tom Hoods dream
in his Impudence OF Steam:
