Rupture Between Pot and Kettle.

Anyone at all acquainted with the
feelings disappointed ambition engen
der can easily believe that David Ben
nett Hill of New York state has not
the warmest affection for one Richard
Croker, who has usurped considerable
of the influence that Mr.. Hill once ex-
erted. But the latter has kept very
quiet about it until a few evenings
since he took occasion to publicly slap
in an indirect way the Honorable
Dick" 1t was at a banquet in New
York city that Mr.. Hill took occasion
to remark: Il do not believe you can
mix politics and business" and again,

he did it. But there is n slight sus-
picion in some quarters that some pre-
siding genius in one of the other par
ties assisted"
David b. Hill always was an un-
scrupulous politician, cold blooded and
sagaciOus, but he is a loyal partisan
and in these respects an opposite 10

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

What is beautiful woman loves; what
a man loves is beautiful.
No woman ever gets too old to play the
baby part with some man.
What a man wants to know is If he is
sure he loves her: what she wants 10
know is the same thing.
When a man growls about the weather
it is because of crops or business; with a
woman it is bonnets.
A woman doesn't ask questions with
any idea that she will care for the an
sWer; she does it because she likes the
way she asks them.
If the women wore trousers probably
the mice would do all the screaming.
A woman's griefs are never as deep as
mans, because she believes they are
deeper.
If a man never lied about anything to a
woman, she would believe nothing he
ever said.
A woman never loves man with res
ervatiOn; a man never loves woman
without one.
A girl likes to have men propose to her
so she can boast about 1t to the other
girls; man likes to have girls propose
to him so he can boast about it to him
self.
To woman whose heart really mourns,
Grape ought to seem ridiculous.
Job probably never rented a fiat with
hot water furnished from the basement.
long hair cut off most much as she
does to give up trump when she plays
whist.
Every man in his heart beneves that 1t
would be an honor to any woman to mar
nv him. If he didn't. he wouldn't deserve
that any woman should.
Until she is really in love woman can
never understand how she can be miSer-
ahle and at the same time know she
would be lot more miserable if she
weren't.
When woman sits in church with a
sad. far-away look in her eyes she isn't
always thinking about heaven.
A man can feel real comfortable with
only a pipe, but woman needs a fashion
paper. a Mother Hubbard and somebody
to take down her hair.
when = man gets beaten playing dupli-
o,.a Whist he says it is so long since he
played he has got rusty sbs when W9 hana
g get changed isaee around wrons.-New York

Gomez in the Light Of Patriot.

General Gomez will. probably, al
wavs remain somewhat Of an enigma
10 many. There are even now almost
as many different opinions of the man
as there are days in the year. To
some he appears the ideal patriot. to
others only an adventurer. That he is
a man of ability goes without saying,
also that he has SO conducted himself
since the war as to retain the respect
of the Americans and the love of his
tickle followers. not an altogether trifl-
ing task it would seem. Moreover it is
said he has not accumulated any con-
siderable property out of all the ad-
vantages which his power possibly
might have given him, nor is he in
way 10. so far as we can learn. There
is no suspicion abroad in this country
that money influenced him to adopt
what is seen to be the wise course for
Cuba, and the future will doubtless
demonstrate to all the Cubans the wis
dom of his course. Moreover he is free.
so far as pledges are concerned, to
draw his sword against the Americans
tomorrow should he choose.
1t is not surprising that the military
tribunal which has assumed civil
authority is jealous of him and has
acted as it did. But it is noticeable
that while the people distrust the pa
triotism of the assembly they trust
Gomez. Judged from his actions as
they are now known to the world. he
is worthy of this tribute which the
editor of the Boston Transcript pays
him:
Gomez is a peculiar man, one who
illustrates the old Spanish character
as seen in it's best days. Tireless, per-
sistent, disinterested. sparing neither
himself nor others in forwarding his
cause, he reminds one of the old school
of Castilians who We're true as their
swords. Gomez is not native of
CuDa. he was porn IN SdntO DoIIllHSo,
Of Spanish descent. and was at one
time an officer of the Spanish army.
He is cabalero, gentleman, and that
fact he never forgets, remembering it
as impressing the necessity of disin-
terestedness. He might be immensely
rich, but he is almost poor. He might
take to the bush again and fight us;
but instead he urges his army to take
our bounty and go back to their farms
and shops and become citizens once
more.
General Gomez deserves we'll of Cuba
and of the United States. Probably
the Cuban people will stand by him"
