q Nntlsnsl Contests the Heaviest OutAsy
II Near the Close.
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 1t Is believed 1t
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 500. 900 into Indiana; anc
three nights before the election Chair
man Quay Of the Republican national
committee sent 100000 from New
York to. trusted lieutenants in Fort
Wayne, Ind. A fortnight before the
election In 1896 the Republicans be-
came doubtful about Iowa, says Worlds
Work. Chairman Hanna at once re-
solved upon a personal canvas of every
doubtful voter in the state. He pro-
posed that every voter not classed on
the polling lists either as downright
Democrat or downright Republican
should be visited by some Jealous and
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 $2O00o0
Reckoning all the expenses in all the
states, it may be roughly estimated
that presidential campaign, including
also congressional, gubernatorial and
lesser campaigns, causes the total ex'
penditure of perhaps $20.000.000.

EARLY STEAMERS.
Iacidsnts Concerning BeginninE Of &
Line Of Boats.

The Collins line Of American steam
ers was established in 1847. Two years
later, on April q, 1849, its first yes"
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn In
1857, soon after the government hao
refused to renew the mail contract
with it. The history Of its steamers
briefly told, is as follows: On Septem-
Der q, 1854, the Arctic came into col
lision with the French steamer Vesta
and was sunk, only few Of her pas
sengers being saved; on January %.
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 240 persons on board, including
the wife of Mr.. Collins, and was never
heard of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1879; the
Adriatic, built at Greenpoint. N. Y, by
Steers, was sold to the Galway COM
pany, and was afterward used as q
coal hulk in England; the Baltic was
in the government service during the
civil war as a supply vessel, and was
afterward sold at auction; her ma
chinery being removed and sold as o!d
iron, she was converted into q sailing
ship and used as grain carrying YES
sci between San Francisco and Great
Britain until 1880. when she was bro
ken up When the civil war began the
New York and Havre Steam Naviga-
ton company, to which the Fulton
and Arago were chartered, was with
drawn; the Arago was then sold to the
Peruvian government. while the Full
ton became a United States transport
vessel for awhile, but she soon became
useless and was broken up.-New York

lIenj min Harrison's Lunch.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
one of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, D. c., in the early '8Os,
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 1t
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near by that
he guessed he must have sat on it &C
cidentally. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rison-spoke up impulsively: well,
by Jove, Harrison. IL you've sat on 1t,
III bet you 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

CAUSES SURPRISE.

ment Il Much Too Low.
Robert NJ. Bruce; one Of the mil
lionaires Of Greenwich, Conn.,, former
cotton broker and friend OF E. c
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board of assessors
OF the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never plid 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 should into the town treasury
and he asked for the raise. The asses
sors. promised to comply with his
! wishes and 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
witch has raised 100000 by taxation,
and has spent $4,000 more than It
raised. The debt has rolled up TO
nearly $4o9 GOO. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
memb@s reported that more money
must be rai%ci by taxation. Fixing up
the. taxes Las4. fall was ut 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 valHc OF all prop
erty, real and personal. but the general
rule among persons Of moderate mems
has beer to pay On GO per cent OF abe
value. The millionaires in some. in
rtances have not paid on 10 per cent OF

the following good word for the
musical genius Of the Negro.
He said:
"One thing that 1 cannot under

through his hair, ''is the manner
III 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,
if they are fitted, to the positions
Of highest trust in the nation.
And We are not regarded as a
republic, either.

music is nearly always the ex'

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
