the crack Of the demagogue's whip
and coaxing whistle of the party

driven hither and thither until they
have crushed and trampled beneath

thankful that the manhood of the

How he Clinched Them.

On one occasion the late Chief
Justice Russell went into the Eng
lish provinces to help the liberals in
a certain campaign. He began his
speech of set purpose with some very
badly pronounced Scotch. After
the confusion caused by his apparent
blunder had subsidized, Sir Charles
Russell las he then was) said: "Gen-
tlemen, / do not speak Scotch, but
/ vote Scotch" Tremendous ap-
plause followed, whereupon Sil
Charles proceeded, "and 1 sometimes
drink Scotch" With this his hold
on the audience was secure.-Argo

been noted on the part OF the occu-

ness. somewhat erratically. at the Old
stand
The trouble with royalty is that its
blood is bad. Europe is ruled by a
batch Of cousins. Generation after gen
eration there intermarry. The plan is
destructive of health Royalty is not
excepted from the workings of ordi-
nary rules. Experience has demon
strated that the offspring of the union
of cousins is apt to be of low vitality
and deficient in some of the senses
Keep up the practice of such marriages
for generations, and the inevitable re-
suit must be deterioration, followed by
eifacement The ruling families will
die out Refusal to dilute the tainted
blood in their veins with the admixture
OF a pure strain viii work their ruin.
