Bnrgain mt Church.

The old Yankee skill at driving a
bargain is not being lost, as a story
in the Boston Herald shows. A wom-
an visitor at a fashionable resort on
the Maine coast last summer went to
the Universalist Church in the place
the first Sunday morning of her stay,
and was politely shown to a seat. There
was no hymn book, however, but the
occupant of the pew behind her reach
ed over and placed one in her hands.
At the close of the service the visitor
turned and thanked the person, saying
as she was to attend that church all
summer she was like to buy hymn
book. "Well," said the other woman,
II guess you can have that book if
you'll give me a pair of black gloves,
No. T." Every WELL" said the visitor.
The next day she went to Portsmouth,
purchased the No. black gloves for
$3.50 and duly received the use of the
hymnal in exchange for them on the
following Sunday.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark Dem.)
says: IF justice has not been done in
the North and South Carolina homi-
eide cases of late, the fault is not
chargeable to the press of the two
states, which has said some Of the
plainest things we have ever read
about the necessity of protecting hu-
man life and enforcing law"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: Tits a good thing to
squeeze the water out of some stocks,
remarks Mr.. Carnegie on returning
from Europe. His own stocks were
loaded down with water when offered
to the steel trust, but it was all baled
out into stocks for other people to buy
worth. Hence this eomplacency over
the squeeze"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
"All this talk about Mr.. Schwab hav-
ing paress, softening of the brain, ETC.,
doesn't consist with the story that he
was wise enough not TO "prepend"
when 1t was sought to find out what
he knew about the shipbullding trust
disaster. Mr.. Schwab hasn't been so
busy burning his candle at both ends
that he overlooked any very important
matter relating to the interest Of Mr..
Schwab."
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: Some Of the European powers
take the renewed occupancy of Mouk-
den as a slap at the United States.
Moukden Is one Of the treaty ports to
be opened under the provisions Of our
treaty with China. This treaty has
given Russia umbrage, and she may
now be arranging her forces so as to
OFFSET the advantage in a trade way
which the treaty confers upon us.
Nouinally, she has assented to the
onenfng of Afoukden."

Peter Crogan. large merchant who
died in Baltimore the other day, is
alleged to have been the originator of
the installment plan of selling goods.
His scheme added to his business and
his fortune so rapidly that it was
taken up in all parts of the country
and is now known in every American
city and in Europe. The installment
plan is often abused, by both mer-
chants and customers, but there can
be no question that it has materially
aided thousands of persons of small
earning power to live more comforta-
bly, than would otherwise have been
possible for them. Many a home is
comfortably furnished that would have
remained comparatively bare if spot
cash had been demanded for the fur
nishings.

In the death of Gen. Edward Nc
Grady OF Charleston. South Carolina
loses one of her noblest sons and brav-
est champions. 1t would be trite to
say that Edward McCrady was a gem
tleman OF the old school; yet he was
that and more. Clinging to the old
ideas of virtue and honor, in both prt-
vate and public life. he yet kept fully
abreast of the times and was resource
full in meeting modern conditions.
When his beloved state was cursed
with black domination during recon-
struction and after, he as much as
any other one man devised the means
that held back the dark horde and
lifted the state once more TO her feet.
The eight-box ballot law, which so
confused the ignorant and venal black
vote as to practically disfranchise 1t,
was of his devising. The law was at
tackled in the courts, but so sktllfully
had it been drawn that 1t could not
be overthrown and its adoption proved
the beginning of the end of the negro
as a political factor in South Carolina
Gen. McCrady was modest, unassum-
ing, scholarly typical South Caro-
lima gentleman.

"Restorer" Dowie's assertion that the
Masonic order is dominated by the
Jesuits is probably as near the truth
as many of the other assertions he
has made during his New York vista
ton; and every Mason and every Cath
Ollie knows there is no truth in that
statement. Dowie's fiat failure in New
York, by the way, is a hopeful sign.
1t means that the day of the relig-
ious charlatan is past in this country.

THE ELECTIONS TODAY.

The interest in the elections to-day
centers in the municipal contest in
New York and in the state contests In
Ohio, Maryland and Rhode Island.
There is the greatest uncertainty as to
the result in New York city. Some of
the newspapers, from the canvasses
they have made, say that Mayor Low
will be reelected, while others, for the
same reason, are just as confident that
Mr.. Mcclellan, the Tammany candi-
date, will be chosen. The weight of
opinion seems to be that the Tammany
ticket will be successful. For more
than a week the drift has been in that
direction. Postal cards sent to voters
within the last few days show this.
Notwithstanding the claims made by
each side, however, there is no good
reason for doubling that the result will
be close-not more than plurality of a
few thousand votes for the winning
ticket.
The campaign in Ohio has been an
unusually bitter one, full of personali-
ties from beginning to end. The hat
tie has been really between Senator
Hanna, who is seeking reelection to
the Senate, and Tom l.. Johnson, the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
They are candidates for different Of
fees, but each seems to think that the
other is the only candidate of the OPP
position worth noticing. There isn't
much doubt that the Republican state
ticket will be elected by a good-sized
majority, but the Democrats have
hopes that they will win the Legisla-
ture, and thus defeat the reelection of
Senator Hanna. If Mr.. johnson ac-
even though the majority against the
Democratic state ticket is large.
At the last state election the Republic
can majority was about 10000. The
Democrats will of course cut this down,
but 1t is hardly possible that they will
be able to overcome it, AS stated, they
are basing their hopes upon electing a
majority of the Legislature, and thus
driving out of political life in Ohio the
man who has exerted a dominating in
huence in. the states affairs for near
ly eight years.
In Maryland and Rhode Island full
state tickets are to be elected, and in
each a Legislature is to be chosen that
will elect a United States senator.
Each of them now has a Democratic
Governor, and in each the senator to
whom a successor is to be chosen is a
Republican. In Rhode Island the DEM
ocrats hope to elect a Democrat Gov
ernor, but on account OF the way in
which the state is apportioned they
have no reason to expect they will
elect majority of the Legislature. In
Maryland, however, the Democrats
have the best of reasons for thinking
that they will elect not only the Gov
ernor, but also d Legislature that will
choose a Democrat for senator. In
each state 1t is admitted that the re-
! sult will be close, with the chances in
favor of the Democrats in Maryland
and the Republicans in Rhode Island.
