A mar desiring an effect,
i've emetic can find it by
reading a newspaper that is
continually dunning delin-
quent subscribers through
its columns. Some papers
make It a practice every
week to have from FIVE to a
dozen dun paragraphs, This
is wrong. If a man pays
for a paper, he expects to
read the news, and not a
page of gentle reminders
to the other fellow who has
not paid his subscription.

EIGHT ON THE RATIO.

There are signs cropping out of a pur-
pose on the part of some of the leading
Democrats to wage a war on the IS to
the next national Democratic platform A.
day or two ago we published an interview
with Mr. Croker, in which he declared that,
in his opinion, the 16 to l issue was practic-
ally dead. In the New York Journal of
last Sunday, there is an article an what
the paper calls its editorial section, in
which the position is taken that leading
Democrats in Congress are against that is
sue. because they think there is no chance
of winning an the next national contest
with it In the platform. They refused 10
be quoted, however as being against it,
because they do not want to antagonize
Col Bryan.
The writer of the Journals article states
that he recently Travelled from San Fran
cisco to New York, and that during the
journey he talked with many Of the men
who supported the 16 to l issue in 1896,
and found that all of them would be more
than willing to have the Democratic party
BcL itu VI tLat ASSHS, "a II COulu bH AOilS
without an appearance of disloyalty to
Col. Bryan, who is still regarded as the
party's header
If what the author of the article in the
Journal says is correct, then it would seem
to be the part of wisdom for the Demo-
cratic party TO drop the 16 to l issue as
quickly as possible. There is no use hold
ing on to an issue that promises 10 drag
the party down to defeat. The abandon
ment of the issue does not necessarily
mean the abandonment of the silver issue.
1t simply means the abandonment OF the
16 to ratio.
1t is a fact worth noticing that the New
York Journal seems to be leading the
fight on the IS TO 1 ratio. That paper was
the only important one in New York in 1895
which gave the national Democratic ticket
a hearty support. With the silver ratio
issue out of the way the Democratic party
would have a fair chance to win the next
presidential contest on the ground of its
opposition to the colonial policy of the Re
publican party. 1t looks, however, as if
the men in control of the party machinery
had decided TO make another campaign
with the 16 to l issue as the leading plank
in the party platform.

ZOO Much Of a Bad Thing.

It happened not SO very long ago, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Three girls had come to tfe theater to-
gether, and they, with the usual feminine
impedimenta Of coats and hats and opera
glasses, quite filled up the three end seats
near the middle aisle
Beyond them sat three men, who had
also come 10 the theater together.
They arrived late, after the curtain had
gone up, in fact, and the girls had to
gather up han, programmes and all and
rise 10 let the other trio file past them.
That was all right. MOI one word was
said and both parties settled quietly down
TO enjoy the play.
Bun at the end Of the first act the men
wanted to go~out There were one or two
smothered groans this time, as the clum-
sy masculine feet tramped to and fro
across the skirts and toes of their neigh
bors, but the groans were smothered, and
everything looked as merry as could be.
But no sooner had the curtain dropped
on the second act than once more the three
arose, grabbed their hats. and signiied
that they wished to depart again. This
time the girls looked wrathy. But never
word said they. They rose in stolid ST.
lence. Even when a dainty bit of Grim
son velvet headeear was knocked to the
floor by a switching coat tail and kicked
thfee seats away not protest passed
their lips
Back came the men. and for the fifth
time did the long suffering women folk
grip their possessions and arise.
This must surely be the last time"
murmured The young chaperone Ugh!
Just smell them! They certainly must
know they can't drink any more without
getting drunk, and as to cigars, why don't
they buy better ones!"
But the hope was false The curtain went
down on the third act at exactly the same
moment that the three men arose from
their seats.
TO their surprise the girls sat stR.
VIII you please let US pass?" asked the
foremost man of the one nearest him 1t
happened 10 be the chaperone. and with
all the dignity of her two months old wed
dlng ring, she gazed blankly up at him.
PassT' she murmured sweetly; why. I
thouSht we had let you pass five times al
ready. We're very tired Don't YOU think
you could use somebody else to climb
over?"
The man looked at his comrades. and,
as If moved by springs, the three sat
down.
And what is more, they stayed there The
other two girls patted the prucky one ON
the head ana presented her Win a box of
candy next day, and after the plav was
over three women of different parties in
the neiShborhood of those seals leaned
over and thanked her for what she had
done N

Uncle Sam cocoa 10 Him.

Two or three evenings ago, says the
Washington correspondence of the New
York World, one of the assistant secre-
taries of a prominent department came
out of Harry Rapley's National theater
after witnessing an evenings performance
humming May Twins famous ditty, "He
Certainly Was Good 10 Me-"
As he reached the curbstone, the thea
ter carriage man in livery bawled out:
Assistant Secretary IS carriage"
A handsome vehicle, drawn by two sleek
horses, rolled up and the assistant secre-
tary jumped in.
ITO the Regent" he said to his driver
After spending half hour or more in
the Regent cafe, the official came out and
directed the driver to take HIM home. This
was about midnight The carriage is the
property of your Uncle Sam, and the driv-
err Is also in his pay. And here was the
official enjoying himself while the gov
eminent paid the freight"
Uncle Samuel certainly was good to
this official. But, in fact, he is good to
all his prominent officials. Every man in
high station, from the President down to
the assistant secretaries and the chiefs
of the big bureaus, is furnished with
carriage by the government The suppo-
sition, however, is that they are to be
used only for official business.

WARING,s REPoRT.

The report of the late Col. Waring of
the unsanitary condition of Havana is
calculated to FIJI the mind with alarm re-
spectng the health of the troops stationed
in and near that city. 1t is also calculated
to excite grave apprehensions respecting
the Introduction of the yellow fever into
this country during the coming summer.
If the fever is kept out of this country
the greatest care win have TO be exercised
by the quarantine officers at the various
ports There will be constant communica-
ton between Havana and our Atlantic
ports as far North as New York Deten-
ton and fumigation of vessels viii be the
means of protection, but will they be suf-
ficient? That is a question which no one
can answer with any degree of satisfac-
ton.
According 10 the view that Col. Warlng
entertained there win be a very severe
epidemic of yellow fever in Havana next
summer, unless that city is given a thor
ough cleaning before next June. The
chances that it win be put in a good sani-
tary condition by that time are very re-
mote Nothing of any consequence has
been done yet; and it is doubtful if Col
Warnings recommendations could be car
ried out in the time specified. To give the
city a thorough house drainage system
would take a couple of years, and perhaps
longer, unless an extremely large force
were put upon the work. If our govern
ment has got 70 make the improvement
il ought 10 begin at once. There is no
use sacrificing The lives of any OF our sol
diers unnecessarily. The whole southern
part of the United states Is profoundly
interested in having Havana made a
healthy city. The question as to whether
or not the government is going to under
take the work of making Havana a
healthy city should be decided al once
Delay is fun of danger. And If it should
be decided to undertake the work there
should not be days unnecessary delay
in beginning it,

only Two Wen Know the Trick.

There is one expert in Philadelphia who,
1t is safe to say, stands entirely alone in
his speciality, says the Record. He is
James Toughill who has charge of the
piing of coin bags at the sub-treasury.
Not only does he have charge of the
piing of the bags, but he does ID all him
self, for there is a secret connected with
this work that is known only to one man
in the country besides the Philadelphia
expert.
1t does not seem at first glance to be a
very difficult task, but those who have
tried it and failed can be counted by hun
dreds, while the first man TO do the work
properly without a knowledge of the Sc
cret having been impaired to him is yet to
be named. Not so many years ago there
was only one person in the country who
could do the work. Where he obtained
his exclusive knowledge no one knows.
On trip TO Philadelphia he met Toughill
and the two became fast friends AS a
mark of his esteem the original expert
taught Toughll the art Of psIing up money
securely, and that is as far as The knowl-
edge has been extended. The work con-
