An 4DuIR1B1E COMPROMISE.


The radical reformer seldom accom-
plisles what he sets out to do. He may
be right bGt his schemes are very
often visionary. adapted to an ideal con-
diti0n Of society, and we live in an
ase when ideals cannot always be real
lied. Then beside the reformer looks
upon one side of the shield only and
gill not shift his position that he may
Examine the other side. The side of the
Shield that he sees is silver; he knows
fl is silver because he sees it with his
own eyes, ard no amount of argument
will convince him that the other side
mag be gold.
The prohibitionists led by the w. C.
T. L., an organization of most estima-
bic women, conceived the idea that the
army canteen initiated against the best
moral interests of the soldiers The use
OF intoXicants is wrong, and a wrong
should never receive civil or military
sanction. Starting with these PROPOSE

canteen. With them the whole question
was a matter of principle Circum-
stances had nothing to do with it. An
evil is an evil and expediency will never
make anything else out of it. The good
women were looking at one side of the
shield. In vain were they asked to
shift their position and look upon the
other side. They were told that, every
thing considered, the reverse side of the
shield was gold and it needed but a
look 10 be convinced, but no, they
were satisfied with the silver side. They
got what they wished. The congress
while in a state of temporary insanity
superinduced by the petticoat germ
passed the anti-canteen law. 1t was a
great victory for the women and men of
one idea. But no sooner had the law
gone into effect than from all quarters
came the evidence that it would prove
a dismal failure.
Human nature and the environment of
the solder had not been taken into &C
count. Preachers, enthusiastic for the
cause of total abstinence, were sent out
to re-examine the shield, but they plant
ed themselves on the silver side and re-
fused to examine the other So they re-
ported as they were expected to report,
that the shield was still silver through

The members of congress, having es-
capped from the hypnotic spell of eye
glasses and soft voices, and having re-
gained their center of cerebral gravity,
concluded that when they voted for the
abolition of the canteent they were af-

mind and today a majority is con-
WINGED that the canteen legislation ought
TO be repealed. But here Is the rub-the

What seems to be the truth in the mat
ter was well told some time ago by
member of the jewelry firm of Benedist
Bros, of New York, in communication
from which we reprint the following:
1t seems that dummy clocks or watches
indicate o'clock and eighteen and one
half minutes because that is the position
on the dial where time CAP be shown tna
hands being on opposite sides and making
a perfect angle and also bein@ equally
distant by minute marks or degrees from
the figure II, taking that as a starting
point. We admit. though, that the hands
can be reversed indicating o'clock.
411A minutes. There is but one other
place on the dial where the time would
be correct and show the hands equalIy
distant from the figures p; that is at
1881 minutes past 8 o'clock, or, with the
hour and minute hands reversed but
this would not be so desirable, as the
hands would be almost directly at right
angles across the face of the dial. IL
must be remembered that while the min.
ute hand makes the circuit of the dllt
of sixty minute degrees, the hour nahd
moves but five minute degrees; therefore
the movement of the hour hand one MN
ute degree necessitates the movement OF
the minute hand II minutes, or one-1tth
of the whole. We have in our possession
an old dummy sign watch wat l gs eafo Dy t the
death of Lincoln, which indicates eN-
actly S:lS1s O'Clock.
1t is a lucky myth indeed, that will
survive the investigation of the present
age Wellington's up, guards, and at
Them" Washington's cherry-tree esca-
pade and other pretty stories have gone
the way of the wolf-suckled Romulus
and Remus Even the Biblical narra-
tive of Jonah and the whale is no longer
safe from sinister incredulity. 1t Is
pity that the alleged silent record of the
dummy clock has to 90 the way of is
kind.

Pharisee whose profession of superior
standard of his sincerity in opposing vice
and him who is possessed of broad
charity toward his erring fellow creature.
The weaknesses and infirmities of hui
which civilization has had to wrestle in
every form of society and which have
ever eluded the control of sage and
statesman alike-are thought to be safe
cords on which to play by the social pur-
ist and professed political reformer in
their search for office and public prom
inence. The Democratic candidate for
the mayoralty in New York we'll recog-
nized this; and in his few well chosen
words he lays bare the falsity of the
chief stand which his opponents have
taken
There is no Democrat who retains his
faith in the common ruck of humanity
who ever united with his Republican
friends in the. pursuit of improved mu-
nicipal administration in opposition to his
own party and its adherents who has not
had a rude awakening at one time or
other Social prominence nor business
distinction, nor responsibility of char
acter is always found in political life to
act as an effective shield on the part OF
it's possessor against self seeking or cor
ruption in official place He is indeed but
young and inexperienced politician who
has not had this truth forced home upon
him. Mr. Shepard has evidently had his
benefited by il, as the following further
quotation from his speech will indicate:
! The fear of so many Republicans and
| of some honorcd citizens who We're once
Democrats, and of some regret to say,
who still are Democratic lest the Demo-
/ cratic party should secure the honor
| and public gratitude coming from effee-
] tive and honorable public service, is, IN
| my opinion, d sheer treason, not c<lly to
| the city, but TO the general cause OF good
| politics and of good government. 1T Is
| my wish that the Republican party shall
| at this and at every election present the
| best of candidates-thoSe who, II CHOSEN
| against my vote, will do the greatest
public service. If that course be ad-
! vantageous to the Republican party, 1t is
also advantageous TO the community az
| large and to my own party. L reJelce
| sincerely that the Republican candidate
against me is a man of fine integrity,
whom [ have for twenty years honored.
| and shall, 1 believe, honor as long as L
| live.
1t will not be easy for the hysterical
shriekers for social purity in the New
York campaign to get away from a man
of the mental and moral caliber of him
who is thus able to state his convictions
and his conclusions
1t will not be long, under. the leader
ship of such a man. before the present
attitude of the Republican politicians of
New York, that all who are not with
them are rogues and outcasts, will have
to change if Seth Low is not destined to
have another experience in political de-
feat more complete and humiliating than
that through which he has already pass
ed at the hands of the loyal Democracy
of the big metropolis.

The Keystone.
The death of President Mckinley has
given the irresponsible but ingenious
scribe of the daily press the opportunity
to revise many moth-eaten myths of the
misty past. One of these is expressed
in the following paragraph from one OF
the leading journals of the country
A movement is on foot to induce lew
elers throughout the country to have
recorded on the painted clocks which
serve as advertisements OF the craft the
time at which PresidenC McKrnIe
four At present these clocks record the
hour and minute of Abraham LincoinS
death. However, that was many years
ago, and today comparatively few people
know that the hands on jewellers
clocks point to Sis, because that was
the time when the nations first martyred
executive breathed his last.
That is so pretty myth that We are
10th to expose it, but the exigencies of
historical accuracy make it imperative.
As history records that Lincoln died at
1922 in the morning it is evident that
the dummy clock with hands at Sis does
not tell 1.-The time when the nation S
first martyred executive breathed his
last" How often does the editor of
The Keystone, when tugging at the
shackles of accuracy. envy the amount of
misinforma ton that is forgiven his broth

The newspaper scribes have never been
in agreement, however as to whether the
dummy clock with hands at SIS recorded
the time of Lincoln's death or the mo-
ment he was shot Some years ago a
metropolitan daily gave currency to an
interview which one of the reporters had
with w. L. Washburn, dummy-clock
manufacturer of that city. Mr.. Wash
burn was reported as saying:

Autumn hats are fat and low. The
styles are irving to the ordinary face.
More attention must be paid to the
coiffure. The styles are between the
classic knot and the higher poised
twist. Hats are invariably large, eX-
ceDt when of the jaunty tricOrne or
der. and even this is larger than Of
yOre. with brim not so tightly turned
uD. This hat, essentially very smart
and with an indescTibable Partisan
touch about it.
In the illustration the first hat is
a round crown, with overlapping loops
Of wide black moire ribbon. Cornet-
like brim, encircled with six formal
rows of greyish blue loops Black wing,
with a peacOCk's eye in the center.
The second is an elongated tOque in
grouse brown velvet. Through a fold
across the slanting crown disappears
the tips of a velvet drapery, describ-
ing in front a cluster Of full projecting
loops and hanked on the left side with
a pulling Of mulberry silk, Frightened
up with a long buckle. A pheasant
feather sweeps round the side.
The next hat is of coarse, green
straw, hidden under serpent-like folds
of moss green MORE velvet, which ends
at the side under a small puff, recall
ing the head of the reptile. Light
brOwnish ostrich tip.
The last is a black felt hat, bound
and draped with peacock blue velvet.
