Accused of snoozing.

The opposing candidates for Congress
in the Louisville district, down in Ken
lucky, are coming together daily with
a tremendous clatter and bang on an
issue of burning Importance that is
new even to the politics of that State,
where in the past men and parties have
been divided on more questions fraught
with the veal or woe Of the Republic
than in any other State of the Union.
The Hon. Swanger Sherley, Democratic
candidate, charges the Hon. H. s. Irwin,
the Republican candidate, with sleeping
in his seat upon the floor OF the House
Of Representatives at the last session
while the Hon. John Dalzell was max
ing a speech Irwin denies the charge
with Indignation, and when confronted
with affidavits of eye-witnesses or his
alleged offense explains that he was not
sleeping at all, but was merely resting
in contemplative mood his noble brow
upon his outstretched arms, as becomes
many a statesman when questions OF
great pith and moment are being dis
cussed 1t does not seem, however, that
his explanation is satisfying his con-
stituents or that he will enjoy another
opportunity to snooze at his post or
even to assume the attitude of sleep
when the Hon. john Dalzell is making
speech

SIDE LIGHTS ON
NATIONAL POLITICS.
What odell Expects.

Before departing from Albany on his
speechmaking tour of the State, Cover
nor 0deil inspired the statement that he
will carry New York this year by a
plurality of at least $4,000. which is only
about half as large as his plurality two
years ago. He figures out that he will
come down to the Bronx with a lead of
not less than 10000. and he Is kind
enough tc allow Mr.. Coler to meet him
at that line of demarkation between
Democratic and Republican sentiment
with plurality of $4,000. This estimate
gives the governor $4,000. and it is pre-
stunned that In permitting his conjecturaI
figures TO find their way into print he
allowed for loss somewhere along the
line OF 5000 votes. Such a loss might
occur by the Republican managers per-
hitting Mr.. Coler to get $4,000 plurality
in Greater New York instead of 5000 or
by that number of upstate Republicans
failing to vote for one reason ard anoth-
err. However. the Republican prophets
and manipulators admit that they are
somewhat perplexed by the confidence
displayed by Mr.. Hill and all the Demo-
cratic managers In the success of their
ticket.

mates. as is reported, in the resignation
Of the Magyar premier. NJ de Sell; for
he Is very clever. progressive, and
diplomatic statesman, and few politi-
clans would have shown as much tact
as he did in explaining the refusal OF
the Hungarian government to take any
part in the national festivities in con-
nection with the recent centennial of the
Hungarian patriot, Kossuth.
Called upon to account for the posi-
tion of the government in the parlia-
ment and Budapest in the matter, he
declared that, while both crowns and
cabinet appreciated sat their just value
the services rendered to Hungary by
Kossuth, and had therefore placed no
obstacles in the way of the celebration
In his honor, they had declined to take
any part therein owing to the fact that
Kossuth had always insisted that there
was no compatibility or union possible
between Hungary and the Hapsburg dy-
nasty. a doctrine which even the Kos
suth party in the Hungarian parliament
did not acknowledge, and which was dia-
metrically opposed to the terms and
stipulations of the Hungarian constitu-
ton. Old kossuth had therefore placed
himself in fragrant contradiction with
the laws of his country, and it was too
much to expect premier and an admin
istration charged with the maintenance
and enforcement of the constitution to
take mart in celebrations In the old
mans honor. and thus tacitly recognize
his constitutional heresies.

Tammany's Great Rally.

All the big wigs among the Democrats
have received invitations to attend
final rally of the campaign TO be given
by Tammany at Madison Square Garden
next Monday evening. Among those who
probably will make short addresses on
that interesting occasion are Senator
Culberson. of Texas; Senator Carmack.

Griggs. of Georgia, chairman OF the
Congress campaign COMMITTEES. 1t Is
the wish OF the promoters OF the enter
prise to attract a larger crowd than
ever was before assembled in the Gar
den at a strictly political event. and It
is said that the Hon. William R. Hearst,
candidate for Congress in the old Amos
Cummis.g- district, has agreed to pay
all the bills. which, it is estimated, VIII
amount to about $4,000.

The London Globe" is usually so cor
rect in its statements that it is impos-
sible to allow to pass without a word
of protest the story published in its
issue of October 6. In an article on
morganatic marriages it was said that
the assassination of Car Alexander II
was due to international relaxation of
acting under the directions of the old
Muscovite aristocracy, who were deter
mined at all costs to prevent the En-
peror from comforting the title of en-
press upon his morganatic consort. The
latter is described as 1.-THE noble minded
woman whose widowhood commands the
respect of every court in Europe"
The writer of the article is presumably
ignorant of the fact that she lived for
years with the Emperor before being
even morganatically married to him, and
that his three children by her were born
during the lifetime of his first wife, to
whose household she belonged as
ti.ular maid of honor. This is shown,
without any attempt at conceaiment, in
the "Almanach de Gotha," and 1t was so
we'll known that the Czarina Marie's
life was embittered and her death has
tened by her husbands fragrant intrigues
with that Princess Catherine Dolgo-
rouka, whom he afterward created
Princess Youriewffska. that the very
first thing his son, Alexander III. did
on ascending the throne was to Danish
