This is the season of gubernatorial
inaugurations and is a reminder that
Democratic governors have not been
so scarce in this country for a quarter
of, century. Twenty seven states
have Republican governors and is have
Democratic ones. Moreover. all the
Republican governors are backed by
legislatures of the same party, while OF
the Democratic governors three have
Republican legislatures to contend
with These are in Rhode Island,
Oregon and Montana. In Montana the
governor holds over for four years,
while. the Legislature was elected last
fall. In Oregon and Rhode Island,
sound Republican states with Republic
can congressman and legislatures, the
triumph of the Democratic candidates
was due to complications in local
politics and has no significance for the
Democracy at large. So in all the
North and West the only state govern
ment fully in Democratic hands is in
Nevada.

Secretary Moody Had a Thought.

Secretary Moody was being RECALLED
by an enthusiastic temperance bore
with the necessity OF national relief
for drunkards. Saturated systems
from which exuded the fumes of dis
tilleries were passed in review before
the naval secretary's mind. Human
frames, wrecked by drink, drenched
in alcohol, were dangled before the
statesman's vision. by the beseecheI
angling for contribution for the good
of the cause.
Now. Mr.. Moody, what can you do
for us?" was the final report, after the
burning of the long-drawn-out fuse Of
temperance lore.
Mr.. Moody, as though impressed by
a clipping which he held, read aloud:
The dry dock at Hunters point, San
Francisco. is the largest in the world.
II will hold two battleships, and can
be pumped dry in two hours"
The temperance man must have ac-
cepted the reading as an intimation
that drunkards should be dry-docked.

wounded him to the quick. His un-

Fairfax is proud as Lucifer. What
did he want?"
THE Duke of Buckingham has been
sent to the Tower-where he ought to
have been sent long ago; but he is
married to the daughter of Fairfax,
and the naughty Lord General went
to see Cromwell about the matter. He
met him in the gallery at Whitehall
and asked that the order for Bucking-
hams arrest should be retraced. And
Cromwell told him that IL the offense
were only against his own life, the
Duke could go free that hour. but that
he could not pardon plotters against
the Commonwealth. 1t grieved him to
the heart to say these words. and
Fairfax saw how Ill and how troubled
he looked. But he had not one word

cooked his hat, and threw his cloak

could carry.
The next day he went to his desk
and began to write, but speedily and
urgently called for Israel Swaffham.

He had turned to face his last en-

ships from the stormy seas. The
chambers of Whitehall were filed
with the roar of the great winds. The

The self-complacent drummer who
had entered the parlor car at Chicago
walked straight to section S, changed
his silk hat for cap, removed his $50

card and pinned 1t to the back Of one
