CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem.)
says: Another member Of the rapidly
increasing Order of Jefferson Davis
Captors has just died at Hutchinson,
Kan. Surely the entire Union army
must have been present when the
president of the Confederacy WAS
taken prisoner.
The Norfolk 6Va.) LANDMARK (Dem. }
says: AN Ohio Union Veteran legion
passes resolutions protesting against
the admission of Robert E. Lees statue
into the National Hall of Fame. There
is just about enough of this rancor
to emphasize the general failure to
share it. The exception proves the
rule"
The Louisville Courier-Iournal
Dem. } says: 1.-THE President is a
mighty moralist in the pulpit and on
the rostrum. The murderer takes a
single life,' he said in his address at
the unwilling of the Sherman statue;
the corruptionist in public life, whethr
err he be bribe-giver or bribe-taker
strikes at the heart of the Common
wealth. Wonder If he marked this
passage and sent it to the champion
corruptionist of Delaware whom he
has done so much to saddle on that
Commonwealth? ?"
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem. }
says The Nicaragua. canal was de-
layed twenty years by the trans-con-
tlnental railroad lobbyists. When
Huntington died, the prince of lobby
lists passed away. The railroads had
to try new scheme to prevent the con-
struction of the canal, Then they
suddenly changed front and clamored
for the Panama canal. An act was
passed to dig it. Columbia refuses
to permit its construction in the way
Congress directed. Didn't the rail-
roads foresee that, or procure it? The
canal is in the far distant future, and
it is doubtful whether any man now
living will sail through it to the Pa
cifc ocean. The whole thing is a
job" 2E

TRAINED NURSES WIN PRIZES.

The life of trained nurse is a hard
one, but it is not without it's compen-
Stations. 1t is so hard that there are
few trained nurses who can stand more
than a dozen years of it. But it very
often happens that trained nurse has
the opportunity of lettering her for
tunes, either by marriage or by the
offer of a position in which the duties
are less burdensome and the compen-
.sation more remunerative.
It is not at all uncommon for a train
ed nurse to make a highly advanta-
geous marriage. Womanly qualities of
a high order impress eligible bachelors,
and little romances begun when the
relation of nurse and patient exists
end happily in matrimony.
A case of this kind occurred last
Saturday in Augusta, Me. Chauncey
Stillman, the eldest son of James Still
man, president of the National City
Bank of New York. the greatest bank
in this country. was married to Miss
Mary e. Wight, daughter of Amos M.
Wight, a local jeweler.
When Mr.. Stillman was a student
at Yale University Miss Wight nursed
him through a case of typhoid fever.
He formed a sincere attachment for
her and determined to make her his
wife. His family offered a great deal
of opposition at first on account of the
difference in his social station ami that
of Miss Wight, but eventually love had
its way. Mrs. Stillman finally cen
scented and then the other members
Of the family gracefully yielded.
Mr.. James Stillman is many times a
millionaire, or at least is reputed to
be. and no doubt each of his children
win some day be millionaires. Miss
Wight is a deserving young woman
and is in every respect worthy of the
good fortune that has come to her.
That the marriage will be a happy one
there is every reason to believe. it be-
ing q love match, and the contracting
parties having a comprehensive under.
standing of the duties and responsible
tiles of life. .,....-

AS everybody knows, Gen. Joe
Wheeler, former Lieutenant General
C. S. A, at present Major General
of the United States army (retired),
and between times representative in
Congress from Alabama. is man OF
quality rather than quantity, and one
seeing him can scarcely understand
how so small a body has been able to
fill so much space in the worlds his
tory of achievement, says the New York
Times.
One day during his congressional ca
reer two rural visitors were in the
house gallery taking in the proceedings
on the floor with great interest, and
one of them observed the general fly
ing about, as was his wont.
who's that little cuSS down there
in front talkin' to the big feller?' he
asked of his companion.
"Dinged If l know" replied the other,

Wheeler of Alabama.

a NoT1ckAnLE CHANGE OF FRONT.


In view of the fact that it hasn't
been so many years since the New
York Sun lost no opportunity to at
tack Mr.. Cleveland and say things cal
culated to bring him into disrepute
with the public its present attitude to-
wards him is all the more noticeable.
II it could have its way it is probable
that he would be the Democratic NOM
mess for President next year.
In it's Sunday issue, commenting
upon Mr.. Cleveland's recent visit to
Chicago, it calls attention TO the re-
marksble exhibition of public senti-
ment in the West in his favor. 1t seems
that the great .haH.in which Mr.. Cleve-
land delivered his address was wholly
inadequate to the demands upon it.
After the address the doors of the hall
had to be closed three times to keep
back the crowd, so great was the de-
sire to shake hands with him. People
from every walk of life were among
those who sought an opportunity to ex-
press a hope that he would be the NOM
seems that many wage earners gave
up days wages in order to grasp the
ex-P Presidents hand.
The Sun says that the Home and
Farm, a widely circulated paper
printed at the capital of Illinois. took
ballot on this question. namely, who
should be,the Democratic candidate for
President? The number of votes which
Mr.. Cleveland received was 1888
greater, than that received by Hearst,
Hill, Bryan, and Johnson combined.
The State Register OF Iowa took a
similar ballot and Mr.. Bryan got only
half as many votes as Mr.. Cleveland.
From the foregoing it would appear
that Mr.. Cleveland is much more pop
ular in the West than Mr.. Bryan. 1t
may be that this affords an explana-
ton of a statement recently made by
one of Mr.. Bryan's closest friends,
namely, that Mr.. Bryan was out Of
politics and would never again be a
candidate for the nomination of his
party for President.
This exhibition of Mr.. Cleveland's
popularity may do another thing. 1t
may cause Mr.. Bryan to cease his eff
forts to control the next Democratic
National Convention. Mr. Cleyeland's
popularity means the popularity of the
ideas he entertains on public ques-
tions. While it is highly improbable
that he will be nominated by the Dem
ocrats for President, the chances are
that the nominee will be man hold
ing views on public matters similar to
those of Mr.. Cleveland.

Between the Acts.

1.-THE author has made this hero out
a good deal of a cad he said, accord
ing to the Chicago Tribune.
DO you think SO? rather like him."
she replied.
You surely wouldn't care to asso-
ciate with such a man, would you?"
He's strikingly handsome, l
think"
"Oh, but that's not the point. You
are thinking merely of the actor. 1
am considering the part he plays.
Where pretending to be another mans
friend he tries to poison the mind of
that others wife against him."
But the other man, you know, has
not been quite honorable
Il am not standing up for the other
fellow at all. But if 1 had a friend
who had been foolish I wouldn't go to
his wife and throw out hints about it
especially while L pretended to be his
friend"
mot if you were her friend also?"
What good is it going to do her to
know about it? She'll only be un-
happy. AS long as the man is sorry
for his folly, why not let it remain a
secret?"
And so let him go on and be foolish
again?"
do you think it is only the fear of
their wives that makes men good?"
NO, l don't think that has much to
do with it. Some men haven't wives,
you know"
L am glad you are disposed to be so
charitable in your opinion of u.s."
II think it is pride with most men.
They don't want to be pointed at in
the streets"
oh! What do you think of the hero
ine?"
Il think she's very foolish
why so?"
IF she were not blind she wouldn't
have to wait to be told in plain words
about her husband"
And what do you expect her to do
when she finds out the truth?'
"Oh, she'll probably have a crying
spell and then forgive him and believe
in him again when he tells her that
he is never going to be weak any
more
rs that what you would do If you
were in her placer Could you love a
man who had-well, say been foolish
ly weak, If you knew he had?"
Why do you ask me such question
as that?'
"Because-because 1 have a special
reason for wanting to know
His hand had slipped over hers and
he was looking at her eagerly. She
looked UP into his eyes; her face had
taken on a sudden pallor, and her
chin quivered a little as, drawing her
hand away. she answered:
Let us not stay to see the rest of it.
Please take me home"
Florence" he whispered, Il have
not been a fool would not have to
ask you to forgive me tiff you"
She moved closer to him, with a
deep, glad sigh, and down between
them. under the arm of the seat her
hand slipped into his.

How They We're Mistaken.

A little girl, whose father was poet
and whose mother was an artist, was
thought by relatives to be therefore
surely destined to do some great and
beautiful thing in the world, says the
New York Tribune.
They felt confident, too, that they
saw signs of this when she was very
young, and interpreted all sorts OF
things the small girl did to mean much
more than the child herself ever dream
ed of.
One summer evening on grandpa s
farm all the family went to the hilltop
to see a wonderful sunset. The little
girls , papa looked poems and h r
mamma likened the sky to the colors
of great canyasses, and lay members
of the family expressed their admira-
ton in various terms. Only the little
girl said nothing.
Look at her." whispered an adoring
aunt. What exquisite feeling there is
in her facet" Everyone looked, but 1t
was the old farmer grandfather who
spoke.
What's the trouble?" he asked OF
the small person sitting disconsolately
by herself.
Nothing" was the reply, "'cept
everybody's so taken up with the sun
set and did so badly want to see the
pigs get their suppers."

To thee alone the boon is given
To win a smile from her blue eyes
Two captivating bits of heaven.
Bare privilege thine, denied to me,
To catch and hold a pretty face
That l, If l were i'm thy place,
Would never, never more set free.
AS Dora's image CLEANS athwart
The crystal in they gilded frame,
So is ii stamped upon my heart,
Deep craven as in lines of flame.
Upon thy face it comes and stays
A little space; as quickly goes
But on my heart 1t grows and grows
And there shall be through all my days.
And so my heart more constant is
Than thou on whom she smiles so
fair.
Yet both are very like in this:

For should she VIII it, growing cold,
She soon might break my heart and

the ALASKA BOUNDARY AWARD.

We have really gained nothing by
the Alaska boundary award. further
than a confirmation of our rights. No
territory has been added to our domain.
Indeed. we have lost small bit Of
territory, including the Portland canal,
which we claimed before the tribunal.
But we can well afford to give that
up, for the purpose of showing the Ca
nadians that we are willing to be lib
eral with them. The concession Of the
| Portland canal by the American COM
missioners was, of course, in the ma
ture of a compromise; and 1t was no
doubt the best solution of a bother
some problem that could have been
found. Except for the compromise the
work of the commission would have
would have been left suspended, pre-
cisely where it was FIVE years ago.
The claim of the United States was
based on the treaty between Great
Britain and Russia. made in 1925, in
which treaty the boundaries of Alaska
were set forth. When the United
States purchased Alaska from Russia
in 1857 reference was made in the deeds
of cession to the boundary marks and
measurements contained in the treaty
of 1925. Thus all of the Alaskan terri
tory recognized by Great Britain as
Russian in 1925 became American terri
tory by purchase in 1867. During the
f,ft 60
of Alaska, up to the time of the dis
eovery of gold in the Klondike. there
was never a word from Great Britain
or Canada questioning the boundary
lines claimed by the United States un-
der the cession by Russia. But with
the discovery of gold in the Far North
there came a change. In 1898 Canada
set up the claim that the boundary was
wrong, that it threw Canadian terri
tory on the American side of the line.
Canada was jealous of the position Of
the United States with reference to the
newly discovered gold diggings. She
wanted deep water port in or near the
gold country, which she hoped to Sc
cure in the deep and wide Lynn canal.
But the case of the United States was
too strong to be successfully attacked.
and Canada must now get along with
the Portland canal. The American ter
ritory extends in a strip, or panhandle,
down the coast. and all British or Ca
madam goods that are taken to the
gold diggings will have to pay duty to
the United States customs officials.
The Canadians are not well pleased
with the award and some Of the poll
ticians among them are talking about
the "impossibility of a maritime coun-
try permitting a foreign government to
own a strip of 400 miles along it's sea-
coast" But the Canadians have recog-
nized the Importance of that 4OO-mile
strip too late. They could have bought
it and added it to Canada fifty years
ago, but they failed to take advantage
of the opportunity. which is now gone
forever.

Secretary Moody is worried about III

Secretary Moody is worried about the
contracts for armor plate for the bat
tleships authorized by the last Con-
gress. The Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies alone are in a position To
manufacture the plates wanted. They
have got together on a price, or rather
the steel trust has named a price to
govern at both mills, and at the same
time has announced that it cannot
begin the delivery of plates under eight
or nine months. The Midvale company
has informed the secretary that IL will
furnish plates at a lower price than
that named by the combination, IL given
a large contract, but ii will be neces-
sary for it to erect an armo~-plate
plant. The secretary does not know
whether it is within his province to en-
courage the Midvale company to erect o
costly plant on the strength of prom
lses of government contracts. Mean
While there is a renewal among con-
gressmen Of the talk about a govern
Inent-owned armor plate mill. The
nigh cost Of work in the government
printing office and the government ship
yards, however. ought to be a warning
against setting up government plate
mill except as a last resort. But there
is no reason for Secretary Moody to
fret. There is no urgent need for the
plates just yet. II the vessels were
now completed. armor and all. there
would be no guns for, them and no men
to operate them. The guns have not
yet been cast, and there is-a shortage
of both officers and men inSths navy.
