The Clergyman Was FOOLED.

There is pastor of a certain church on
Capitol Hill who has old-fashioned ideas
about great many subjects, and espe-
cially in the matter of church music
says the Washington Post He doesn't
like the "Cavalleria Rusticana Intermez-
zo' as an AVE Maria" solo, and he
doesn't care for when the Swallows
Homeward Fly sung TO the words of
"Jusus. Lover of My Soul" When il
comes to Wasner's music he feels about
it precisely as DR.. Nordau does, and he
will have none of it in his church.
Il have had a great deal of trouble,
my dear lady" said he a little time ago
to woman know. II have had a great
deal of trouble with my organist He
would play Wagner, he would play pagan,
barbarous, secular music at services
reasoned with him, but to no purpose. At
last he resigned. and now in his place 1
have young lady. Come to church next
Sunday, my dear lady. You will hear no
music. Come to church; you will hear
only such music as belongs to the sa-
cred edifce."
So the woman I know went TO church
here the next Sunday morning, and while
the collection was taken the organ play
ed, and she marked how the clergyman s
benign face beamed with satisfaction and
content. He nodded his head In time to
the music. Ali was well with him. The
young lady at the organ was playing,
slowly and softly, MY Little Gypsy
Sweetheart"

THE ANTITRUST BILL.

There seems to be foundation for the
charge made by Democrats in Congress.
that the Republicans had no intention of
enacting any antitrust legislation at this
session. They introduced the resolution
containing an amendment to the costitu-
ton. giving Congress authority to cotrol
trusts and the bill amending the Sher-
man anti-trust law at the very end of the
session, knowing that If the House passed
either the resolution or the bill, or both.
nothing would be done with either
in the Senate. AS a matter of fact, the
resolution containing the amendment was
defeated and the bill amending the Sher-
man act was passed by the House. 1t
never had chance of being even consid-
cred in the Senate. Senator Bacon said
that Congress ought to remain in session
until II disposed of the antitrust bill, but
hts remarks fell on unwilling ears.
Now the question is what was the pur-
pose of the Republicans in putting the
antitrust bill through the House, know
ing that 1t would not be passed by the
Senate? Was il NOT as has been charged
SO they might use ID as a club to force
the trusts to be liberal in making cam
paign contributions? 1t certainly looks
so.
It is very well known that the Republic
cans are not by any means as confident as
they were three months ago. of carrying
the presidential election. They are very
much in doubt about New York and If
they should lose that state they would,
in all probability, lose the election. They
are uncertain as to how the people feel
in respect to retaining the Philippines.
and they realize that the country is dis
posed to charge responsibility for trusts
on them. Unless ali signs fail they in
tend TO raise an enormous campaign fund,
and use Il freely in the doubtful states.
This probably, is the explanation of their
ection in introducing antitrust legisla-
ton at the tail end of the session, when
there was no probability of its becoming
law. The trusts will be told that if they
contribute literally the antitrust bill
will never get through the Senate, but
that If they do not the bill will be passed
as soon as Congress reassembles in De-
cember. The plutocrats and the trusts
will find out very soon whether or not
this is the explanation of the peculiar
course of the Republicans in respect to
anti-trust measures.

THAT CRAMP CONTRIBUTION.

Senator Bacon could hardly have fore
seen the sensational scene in the Senate
on Tuesday, which his reference to the
100000 contribution that Shipbuilder
cramp is alleged to have made to the Re-
publican campaign fund in 1892, caused
He had. however, ample authority for
the reference. If Senator Pettigrew is
to be believed, Mr.. Cramp is authority for
it, and Mr.. Pettigrew insisted that SEN
ator Carter confirmed the statement. Mr.
Carter was the chairman of the Repub-
Ncan Campaign Committee in 1892
OF course Mr.. Carter denied that he
ever made such an admission, and also
that Mr. Cramp made 10000 contribu-
ton, but II was to be expected that his
memory would fail him when he attempt
ed TO recall amounts of contributions
made to the fund of the campaign which
he conducted.
Mr.. Carter undertook to defend himself
by intimating that Mr.. Pettigrew had not
acted nicely in disclosing things which
had been told him in confidence. 1t may
be that Mr.. Pettigrew hasn't a very fine
sense of honor, as ii is understood among
managing politicians, but. admitting that
he has not. 1t does not follow that he did
not tell the truth about the Cramp mat
ter. On the contrary. the presumption is
that he told the exact truth. Il is not
reasonable to suppose that he would have
thought of connecting Mr.. Cramps name
have made a large contribution If
not had the very best of reasons for do
ing so.
Mr.. Cramp does not live very far away
from Washington. A dispatch could have
been sent to him and an answer received
in half an hour, and 1t is probable that
Mr.. Carter would have obtained from
Mr.. Cramp a denial of the statement,
and read ii in the Senate If it could have
been secured. Instead of getting a denial,
however, he and Senator Hanna under
took TO belittle Mr.. Pettigrew. 1t will
probably be admitted that any other sem
ator would have hesitated a dong time
before making public what are alleged to
be private conversations, assuming that
they We're such. but It must be remember
ed that Mr.. Pettigrew has been prodded
good deal since the beginning of the
present Congress by the Republican SEN
ators, and that he has been so worried
by them that he can hardly be held ac-
ccuntable for oil he says and does.
Senator Bacon, however, was fully JUS
tilted in using the statement made by Mr..
Pettigrew. In fact he did but his duty
in letting the country know how the Re
publican party gets the vast sums with
which 1t conducts its national campaigns
II is probable that Mr.. Cramp would not
have made such large contribution il
he had had assurances of some sort, or
at least hope, that he would receive
valuable favors in return. The chances
are that in the building of warships. his
shipyard has not been overlooked.

Caesar Wasn't There.

The man on the street car was talking
to friend about his trip through Greece
and the tonbs of the ancients he had met
with. says the Washington Post. and af
ter a while the old man opposite, who
had been listening closely, leaned forward
and remarked:
Sir do l understand that you were in
Greece?"
Yes. sir" was the reply.
And you saw tombs?"
Plenty of them"
Did you happen across the tomb Of
Julius Caesar7"
mo. sir. Julius Caesar was not a
Greek, you know"
That's so-thafs so. Now that you
mention II, remember that he wasn't.

Washington mixed up. and I'm glad you

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

1t was stated in the dispatches that ex-
Senator Hill dominated the Democratic
Convention of New York. If he did, he
made concessions in order to do so. II
is well known that he did not want the
delegation to the National Convention in
structed. 1t was instructed to vo.e for
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan and the
convention pledged the party to support
the ticket and the platform. II is prac-
ticalIy certain, therefore, that whatever
the platform may be, the Democratic or
ganization of New York will accept it.
The convention did not say anything
about the Chicago platform, and there
was no particular reason why it should.
1t declared in favor of both gold and s.l-
yer as standard money, but insisted that
each must be maintained at a parity with
the other in purchasing and debt-paying
power That is a proposition quite diff
ferent from the 16 to l idea, but IL is
this latter idea that will probably be put
into the platform that will be adopted al
Kansas City.
II may be the purpose Of Mr.. Hill and
some others TO make fight against stat
ing the partys position en- the silver
question in the platform 40 be adopted
at Kansas City just as IL Is ated in the
Chicago platform. If it is, the chances
are that they will be defeated
There is no reason to doubt that it is
the purpose of Mr.. Bryan and those who
are acting with him, and who are really
in control of the party, TO reaffirm he sill
yer plank of the Chicago platform. In
fact, IL is difficult to see how it Is pos
sible to avoid taking just as strong
ground in favor of the 16 TO 1 idea at
Kansas City as was taken al Chicago.
To seem to recede in the slightest degree
from the Chicago position would be re-
garded by the Populists as a baekdown.
and they would make trouble. Any eff
fort to placate the Gold Democrats on the
silver question would be cerlain to give
offense to the Populists, and the Popu-
list vote is a bigger factor In the presi-
Dental campaign than that of the Gold
Democrats
Mr. Hill Is particularly anxious for the
Democrats to carry New York next fall.
aud he will no doubt attempt TO have the
national platform so modified as to be ac-
ceptable 60 Gold Democrats Of that state,
but there is no reason 10 think that he
will be successful

Considerable interest has been aroused
in naval circles by the recent target prac-
tice OF the British navy when the old
armorclad turret ship Belle Isle was used
as target. Valuable Information. IL is

civil war monitors be given to the Unite /
States navy for target practice. There

son why the whole fleet of the old chessa

Cruel Driver Wa. Thrashed.

When an old and lonely man revises his
opinion of the rising generation, conced-
ing that IT will take proper care of the
world after he has gone, the hopeless Gym
les certainly get hard setback, says the
Detroit Free Press.
The horse was doing service on a deliv-
cry wagon" he deposes. ut got tired of
waiting for the driver, who was visiting
the servant girl, but had not got under

fairly trembling because 1t looked as
though the brute was going to run amuck
on the crowded thoroug hfare. But a fine
booking young woman, in what took to be

and she ran, too. When it overlook her
she was right alongside, grabbed the bit,
hung right on, talked to the horse until
he thought he had friend, and stopped to
visit her while she patted his neck ard
kept on talking.
Then the driver, big rough specimen,
arrived on the scene. He never stopped to
thank her, but seized the whip and went
to drubbing the horse numerically. Her
eyes famed, she clenched her fists, she
told him to stop at once. and she threat
ened to report him, but his whole attention
was given to the horse.
You great, big, cowardly brute she
shouted: I.wish l were a man.

der chap in Prince Albert boutonniere.

She looked at him doubtngly, and the
driver told him to escape If he did not
want to be pulverized. Then things oc-
CURED fast enought to fool kaleidoscope,
and when the dust raised the driver was
sitting on the asphalt with his head be-
tween MS hands, the athletic girl was
smiling, and the slim youth was taking off
split glove while apologizing to her for
not being in quite his usual condition.

The promotion of Gen. Joseph Wheel
er to brigadier generalship in the regu-
lar army is an act of appreciation of gall
lantry and patriotism by the government
that will have the warm approval Of every
section of the country. The little cd ex-
Confederate is as true a type of the
American soldier as ever graced a uni
form. 1t is striking matter, of course
that thirty-five years after he held the
rank of lieutenant general in an army at
war with the United States he should be
wearing the uniform of the regular army
of the United States. The probabilities are
that such thing could happen in no coun-
try in the world save ours. With us,
however, everybody knows that not even
President Mckinley himself is more pa
triotic than Gen. Joe Wheeler.

According to an estimate made by the

the most expensive soldier in the word
is he soldier Of the United States. His
cost per annum is $2,2O224 each. The SOL

cost is the British, at @26.56 Thus the

France and Germany spend each per man

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hartford Comm Times Dem)
says Gen. Gomez has returned from
San Domingo to Havana, and is credited
with a desire TO combine the national and
republican parties and to become the first
president of cuba. But his friends also
say that If these parties refuse to COM
bine, he will establish a Cuba HIRE party
of his own and endeavor to obtain pie
biscite of the entire island, expecting in
that way 10 force the political leaders TO
adopt his proposal, If only in the hope of
future office. 1t is ruomred that for such
purpose Gomez has been promised funds
by number of wealthy men, including a
United States senator who Is said to
have offered $5O0,O00, on certain conditions,
TO which Gomez will undoubtedly agree.
Who is this United States senator?"
The Philadelphia Record Dem.) Gays:
Scarcely an act OF promotion In the Fed
eral service could be dreamed of that
would meet more instant and unstiuted
popular approval than the elevation of
''Fightng Joe" Wheeler to a brigadier
generalship in the regular armw, to fiji
the prospective vacancy to be caused by
the retirement of Maj. Gen. Merritt and
the consequent promotion OF Gen. Otis.
The old Southern warrior is man after
the peoples own heart"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem0 says:
"Taken altogether, the record of the pres
ent Congress has not been such as TO COM
mend il to The people, and It is generally
believed that there will be an unusually
large number OF members allowed TO stay
at home as a result of the election In No
vember next"
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
says; at seems rather queer that after
so many years of investigation nobody In
Congress knows anything about the real
value Of armor pate, but must rely on the
statements Of outsiders, which are immedi-
ateiy contradicted."

The sympathy of France was with Spain
during our recent war, and many Ameri-
cans vowed they would not go to the Paris
Exposition, by way of protesting. But
there are thousands of Americans in Paris
at this moment, scattering their dollars
lavishly. The sympathy of France is
with the Beers in the South African war,
and the French government has stopped
the contemplated visit of the Prince of
Wales to the exposition, by announcing
that 1t declined to be responsible for his
personal safety. Nevertheless, Paris is
thonged with English men and women,
who are giving up their pounds. shillings
and pence freely. All of which probably
goes to show that the individual does
not care great deal for national predi-
iections when they interfere with his
pleasure.
