Il Near the Close. Nh
The most expensive work OF ma
tional campaign is done during the last
three weeks before the election Every
doubtful state and city is closely
watched by men prompt to discover
every change in the political tide, ana
money is transmitted in large sums 10
the localities in which it Is believed II
will produce the best results. A Few
days before the election In 1888 west
Virginia received $4,000 from the
democratic national committee and the
Republicans sent $4,000 to the same
state. About the same time the Demo-
Gratis sent 100000 into Indiana; anu
three nights before the election Chalr
man Quay of the Republican natlona'
committee sent 100000 from New
York to trusted lleutenants IN for'
Wayne, Ind. A fortnight before the
election In 1896 the Republicans De-
came doubtful about Iowa, says Worias
Work. Chairman Hanna at once re'
solved upon personal canvas OF every
doubtful voter in the state. He pro-
posed that every voter not classed on
the polling lists either as a downright
Democrat or a downright Republican
should be visited by some Jealous ana
tactful member of the Republican par
ty. Before election day the thousands
OF such men in towns, in cities and In
the country were sought out and ap'
pealed to by the Republicans most
likely to win them; and this canvass
is said to have cost the Republican
national committee more than @20o,ooo
Reckoning all the expenses in all the
states, it may be roughly estimated
that presidential campaign, including
also congressional, gubernatorial ana
lesser campaigns, causes the total ex'
penditure Of perhaps $20.00O,0OO.

New Federation of Australia Must Here
after Be Considered.
Australia is to Great Britain the
most valuable Of all her colonies.
writes Hugh NJ. Lusk in the North
American Review. The external In
fluence Of Australia in the south Pacl"
fic is bound to make itself felt before
long. Those who know Australia best
will have the least doubt that she Wall
find means ere long to use that inhu-
ence for purposes beneficial to herself.
Her people were far from pleased
with what was done in the case OF Sa-
moa; and it is safe to say that no
such policy of concession will ever
command the assent Of united Austria
lia The sphere Of her first interests
will, for the present, be confined main
ly to The Pacific and Indian oceans to
the south Of the equator. She will be
interested in the Loyalty group, where
France is esta blished, and in the New
Hebridcs, where she is very anxious to
establish herself. She will be solicit
Gus about the Solomon islands, part
Of which are at present recognized as
German territory. and she will take a
very deep Interest in the future Of New
Guinea, part Of which belongs to Ger
many. and the rest beyond the British
section, is understood to form part CT
Holland great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago. These will
undoubtedly be Australia's first cares,
but she vii not be content with these
for very long. Siam, French and SOUTH
ern Chiua and Borneo are natural
maYts fer her trade, which in the next
ten yeals will be a rapidly increasing
one, anG, in relation to all these, she
will EXPECT to exercise large influence.

The Collins line OF American steam

later on April 81. 1S49, its first YES
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn In
1857, soon after the government mao
refused to renew the mail contract

briefly told, is as follows: On Septem-
Der q, 1854, the Arctic came into col

lyenj min Harrison's Lunch.

ExPresident Benjamin Harrison,
one of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsiye, cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, D. c.. in the early sos,
he always brought his luncheon to the
committee room. He carried it in his
coat pocket and would eat it while he
went on with his work. One day when
he got it out as usual from his pocket
he looked 1t all over ruefully, for it
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near by that
he guessed he must have sat on 1t &C
cidentally. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rison-spoke up impulsively: We'll,
by Jove, Harrison, If you've sat on it.,
I'll bet you a sixpence it is frozen
solid" and of course a shout went up
from the whole committee. Harrison
took the joke kindly and Joined in tho

B.. CAUSES SURPRISE.
Connectlcut Man Declares Hls Assess.

Coninectlcut Man Declares Hls Assess
ment Is Much Too Low.
Robert NJ - Bruce; one OF the mil
lionaires of Gu eenwich, Conn, a former
cotton broker and friend Of E. c
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board Of assessors
OF the town ard asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
tho New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont OF his LIST OF taxable prop
erty. leaving it with the assessors. He
had looked The matter up recently and
had decideSi that he was not paying all
that he sho":d into the town treasury
and he asked for the raise The asses
sors- promised to comply with his
: wishes ard it Is understood that they
, will raise the taxes OF all other mill
lionaires there to same extent. Mr.,
Bruce's example is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
Wich has raised $4,000 by taxation,
and has spent $4,000 more than II
raised. The, debt has rolled up 10
nearly $4oG GOO. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
members reported that more money
must be raf q; by taxation. Fixing up
the. taxes Las1t fall was + 1t over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
the amount Ct taxable property and an
increase OF the tax rate seemed prob
able. Persons who have looked up the
matter say that there appears to be
one law for the poor man and another
for the rich man.. The law says that
each property owner must put In a
true list of the real val.,c of all prop
erty, real and personal. but the general
rule among persons Of moderate mems
has beer to pay en- 60 per cent OF ale
value The millionaires in some. in
Gtances have not pad on 10 per cent Of
the property.

The great Russian pianist Ossii
Gabrielomitsch, in recent inter-
view 10 the Chicago Cronicle, has
the following good word for the
musical genius of the Negro.
He said:
"One thing that [ cannot under
stand" he said, running his hands
through his hair, "is the manner
in which the America people re-
gard the Negro. In my country,
we had slavery long before it was
introduced into the United States,
but with it's abolition all feelings
of caste vanished and today the
sons Of former serfs are eligible,
il they are fitted, to the positions
Of highest trust in the nation.
And we are not regarded as a
republic, either.
"Then, again, the colored man
is really superior to the white
man in one way. He is a born
musician. L., have found that
music is nearly always the ex.
preston Of the highest intellectu.
atty, and the Negro is really one
of the first musicians in tho world.
His ear is true and his songs are
beautiful, appealing to the senses
as perhaps but few compositions
Of other, races do. His songs are
not savage or barbaric, but some
Of them are really grand in their
conception"

senger of Omaba's mayor, inher~
