SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. IA, 1888

THERE are number of respectable
and able democrats residing in the Dis
trics of Columbia, but they have little
or nothing to do with local politics.
Thew are not wanted. nor is their advice
needed by the small ring who manage
n shane District committees. Prob
ably the two rival organizations, repuo'
lican and democratic, represent eacn
about one or two thousand of the three
hundred thousand OF iDhsbitants. Ihe
resnlt is that the District democratic Or
oan;zstion is almost as unsavory a mess
as is the similar republican body. The
democratic District committee is now
having q furious quarrel over the ques-
t;op of choosing, OF rather recommend
inc for choice, member OF the nation
al committee in the place OF Mr.. Law
rance Gardner. The result is split,
eaco side claiming regularity, and each
fac ion mas chosen a committeeman.
One side claims to have had at It's
meeting twelve out of the twenty-five
members constituting the com mittee,
and this claim is not denied. Iney
have chosen Mr.. Holmead. The other
side also claims 10 have had twelve
members present, but this aumber was
made up by counting TWO proxies ana
by ruling out the two member who
gave those proxies and were present
and demanded to vote. They have
chosen Mr.. Norris. Nothing could be
more preposterous than to allow proxy
to take the place of mis- principal when
the principal is present and Offering to
vote; but it is an illustration of the deg
radiation into which these District con-
tests have been carried, When such
revolutionary practices are resorted to,
it is no wonder that we hear reports OF
attempts to bride members to vote for
a particular candidate and OF efforts to
bring the power of the republican dis
trict commissioners to secure votes IN
q committee claiming to be democrats.
II would probably be the wisest course
for the national committee TO reject
both candidates and to let the matter
stand over until Bryan national ad
ministration shall have done its work
10 cleansing this augean stable. The
national committee needs no such
auxiliaries or counsellors. This body
ought to be composed, and is nearly
composed, of gentlemen of high charae'
ter, well-known democratic records
and large intelligence, representing the
democracy of their respective States
Their work this year mas been wise
judicious and has served to promote
the party's interests. It's chairman, Mr..
James K. Jones, of Arkansas, has just
returned in full health and vigor, and
under his wise and skilliul leadership
the party bids fair to 60 forward to vic
tory. The national committee cannot
afford to mix up 10 wretched squad.
BILE, and still less to countenance such
representation as that referred to.

or Park Lane, London. Mr.. Belt is yet
on the foolish side of Fl ty, having been
born in Hamburg in 1858, and has made
bis fabulous fortune in the last twenty
four years. 1t is all very much like a
fairy book story to read OF man worth

wheat corners or oil fields. but just gold

ly mayor of Johnson City, Tenn, at
one time chief clerk in the Office of the
District of Columbia street sweeping
department, thirty-third degree Ma
son, member of the Mystic Shrine,
and of nearly every other patriotic
fraternal organization in the country
a man bearing all these titles and ar
rayed in the uniform of captain Of
the United States army-was arrested
in Washington on Thursday for fraud
lent use of the mails. His name is Ike
T. lobe, and he is now held in Wash
'ipgton to appear before the court at
Columbus, Ohio, during its December
term. Jobe received an appointment
under the government of the District
of Columbia after having served
as mayor of his home town.
He left Washington after a
while and returned to Coving
ton, KY, where he raised com
pany of volunteers for the Spanish.
American war. When discharged he
continued to wear his uniform, and is
said to have sold army transportation
blanks to ticket scalpers. He was
arrested in New York on that charge
and held in $1,000 bond to appear for
trial, but he slipped away and went to
Columbus and Cincinnati. Mean
while the postoffice inspectors were
trying to get hold of him for using the
mails notwithstanding private
matter in ranked envelopes-and Jobe
tried to throw them of the track by
printing highly eulogistic death no
tice in one of the CoviDgton papers.
Then be took a train and went to
Washington. The inspectors came
after him, and finally captured him

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS.

One Of the most interesting sights in
the great show windows on Worces-
ter's business promenades is the mag
nifcent display of Christmas dolls.
Eight or ten years ago, scarcely any
dolls and Christmas toys were made
in the United States. They were near
ly all imported from Germany, Switz-
erland, France, and the larger part of
the output still comes from those coun-
tries. There are now, however, three
large doll factories in New York, and
some are made in Chicago and Bos-
ton. In the making of dolls, the head
comes first. This is cast in a mold,
then polished carefully, and it is then
handed over to the girls who put on
the rosy cheeks which are the delight
of childhood After the head is thus
prepared, it is sent to another depart
ment, where it becomes a brunette or
blonde, according to taste or fancy, by
the addition of hair The other parts
are made separately, after much the
same process, and when alli the parts
al Z llllISl16d, ElllHy are SGil W Tie join
ing room, where they are put together.
Even then, the troubles of the doll are
not over. They next go to the dress
makers, where they are arrayed in
wonderful costumes, and thus pre-
pared for their adventures, they are
taken to the packing room and placed
in boxes for shipment. Toy drums,
and indeed nearly all the parapherna-
liza of childhood, are prepared in a
similar methodical and wholesale fash
ion, and thus the storehouse of st.
Nicholas is filed awaiting his orders
for distribution. This new industry
now affords employment for thousands
of people and is growing in Importance
every year. Already. the United
States ranks fourth among the nations
of the world in the production of
Christmas toys, though perhaps the
finest and rarest still come from MI
remburg, Berne and Paris

THANKS TO THE FORCE.

1t may be out of the ordinary for the
editor of newspaper to express any
public appreciation of the work of any
of the staff, except perhaps Of the
writer's. And in looking over the work
of the editors and reporters in the "a
page Sunday Spy it isn't strange that
some acknowledgment should be Civ
en- them for the clever and unrivalled
newspaper they produced. There were
"a pages the preceding Sunday in the
regular edition filled with good things,
but yesterdays issue was better in ev-
cry respect, The business manager
raised his record from so to IS columns
Of advertising. 1 doubt if any Wor-
cester paper has ever beaten that rec
ord in a regular edition.
But the wonderfully bright typo
graphical appearance of the paper must
be attributed to the foremen, George
H. Surprise and Charles E. Hopkins,
with their alert assistants
The Spy's advertising compositors
and stereotypers deserve a special
word of commentator. 1t isn't fair to
neglect these departments on which a
newspaper depends for it's artistic ap-
pearance and attractiveness, its gener-
al arrangement and makeup. The Spy
has good captain at the head of every
department-in the mailing room, press
room and composing room, as we'll as

FIELD MARSHAL ROBERTS.

Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the
newly appointed COMMUNICATIVE chief in
South Africa, is probably England's
most distinguished soldier. An Irish
man by birth, the son of distinguished
he saw his first active service
in the Bengal artillery in 1851. In 1858
he won the much-coveted Victoria cross
by capturing a British flag from a
squad of Sepoys during the Indian mu-
tiny. He added greatly to his laurels
by serving under Napier in the Abys-
sinian campaign. In 1872 he obtained a
paign in India. In 1878 he was made
quartermaste: general, with rank of
major general, on the staff of the COM
mander-in-chief in India.
1t was in the two succeeding years
that he won his great fame as a SOL
der. In September, 1879, he captured
Kabul, after the murder of the British
resident, Sir Louis Cavagnari. He won
several decisive victories over the
Afghans. In July, 1880, Ayoob Khan
defeated Gen. Borrows and drove his
survivors into, Kandahar, which place
they besieged. Roberts hastily gath
cred together an army of 10000 men and
quickly marched to Borrows' relief. For
three weeks nothing was heard from
Gen. Roberts. 1t was supposed he had
met an unhappy fate But one day he
suddenly appeared before Kandahar,
took Ayoob by surprise, administered to
the Afghans a crushing defeat, cap
tured 80 guns and relieved Borrows.
For this act he was raised to the peer
age, with the title of Baron Roberts
of Kandahar A few years ago he was
recalled from india after a continuous
service of 40 years in that station.
Since then he has been given command
of the troops in Ireland. Gen. Roberts
has never before served in South
Africa. 1t remains to be seen whether
South Africa will continue to be a
destroyer of military regulations.

trail American federation, a year ago,
these countries have scarcely been free
a day from revolution.
That the United States will build .Nhe
Nicaragua canal is as certain as any
thing in the future can be. The fate
Of the Panama canal is still in doubt.
But whichever of the two waterways
the United States controls, must be con-
trolled absolutely. There must be no
daily revolutions to hamper trade. Left
to itself, none of these nations can be
depended upon for stable government.
TO control the canal, the United States
must either annex some one or more
of the Central American states or else
establish protectorate over it. 1t is
therefore a gratifying fact to learn that
Central Americans will be no unwilling
citizens of the greater United States.
