The United States mails are carried

ical impossibility for man to hide
himself In any remote corner Of the
world without being discovered at last
by some Insignificant agent of world
wide service, the machinery Of which
operates quietly and with clock-liks
regularity. If a bird's-eye view OF the
different railroad and steamship lines
which carry the mails could be taken
the giant spiders web thus formed
would appear woven In a pattern so in
tricate that the mind would balk at
the mere suggestion of unraveling It.
And besides the regular steamship and

UNCLE HENRYs OPTIMISM.

I don't pretend to say that things are all
right here below,
There's few folks that have angels wings,
there's gobs OF SIN and woe;
The mans fool that shets his eyes and
says there's nothing wrong
1t ain'tthe good chap gifts the prize. unless
he's big and strong;
This here old world ain't heaven yit. It's
full Of wrongs to-day
But I've. the faith to think we'll git 'em
strengthened out some way.
I don't uphold the man who stands around
and talks OF love
And sort OF folds his peaceful hands and
thinks that up above
There's One who guides US. wet o. dry.
VI who's plannin' fer us here
And who Will reach out by and by ana
make sin disappear
I don't believe that kind OF stun. but be-
lteve some day
Wen have the grit and wit enough to clear
the wrongs away.
i don't deny that God Is there-He may be
watchin', too;
But don't let's leave to His kind care the
work We ought to do.
II He'd intended to take hold and banisn
all the woe
1t seems TO me that He'd OF rolled the
clouds back long ago
] don't believe that He's inclined to clear
the wrongs away,
But believe He'll let US find out how our
se,ves. some day.
Some people think II amt jest right to not
sing happy songs
About sky that's Always bright, worio
that's free from wrongs: a
But ! can't somehow. seem to think It's
noble not TO care
Or that the wrongs at which you wink
don't keep on bein' there
The world amt paradise just yit, there's
sin to wash away.
But believe we'll have the grit to clean
II up some day.

CLEVELAND OUT CT IT.
Knows Very Well There would Not
De "The Ghost Of . Chance"
for His Election.

Grover Cleveland will figure In no
more estimates or conjectures regard
Ing the democratic nomination for the
presidency. He Ia out of the race un-
eQuivocally. This time there is not
even the suggestion of a string at
tachment; to his declination. Nor Is
there any likelihood that he will at
any late stage Of the convention fol-
low the example Of Horatio Seymour In
1868. Seymour was chairman of the
democratic national convention that
year. and when the delegates began to
press the nomination upon him he ex-
claimed determinedly: Gentlemen.
your candidate l cannot be-" Then he
was nominated and the nomination
was accepted.
There can be no doubt, says the Los
Angeles Herald. that Grover Cleveland
means exactly what he says In his let
ter to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle.
He declares that he will not ''in any
circumstances or upon any considers
tion," again become the nominee OF
his party for the presidency. Then he
still further clinches his determination
by saying: my determination not to
do SO is unalterable and conclusive"
The cause or causes leading to Mr..
Cleveland's withdrawal hardly need be
considered now. 1t Is more than prob
able that he would like once more to
warm the presidential chair, but he is
too sagacious a politician to be deluded
with the thought that another such
election is possible. He knows very
we'll that there would not be "the ghost
of a chance" for his election. There
would not be even q ray Of hope for
him in view of the ineradicable antip-
athy of the American people to the
three-term idea, to say nothing Of the
bitter hostility that would be encoun-
tered from the Bryan wing of the
party.
What will be the next disclosure In
the democratic kaleidoscope? The
Brooklyn Eagle attempts to throw Mr..
Cleveland's cast-off mantle upon the
shoulders of Judge Parker, of the New
York court Of appeals. But Parker Is
hardly known outside of his state. He
would make respectable figurehead,
but his name would arouse no demo-
cratic enthusiasm. Hill and Whitney
are the only other New Workers whom
the party would consider seriously, but
neither of them is likely to secure the
prize, such as it will be.
The withdrawal of Cleveland ele-
Yates by several pegs the chances for
the nomination OF Arthur Pue German.

And just little way beyond
You come to Grumbletown.

IL not a pleasant place:
One never hears a cheerful word.
Or sees smiling face;
The children there are badly spoiled
And sure to fret and tease,
And all the grown-up people, too.
Seem cross and hard to please
The weather rarely Is just right
In this peculiar spot;
IT'S ether raining all the time.
Or csc too cold. or hot.

The games are dull and old;
There's nothing new and nothing nice

The Sailors

reaching his destination. His appear
ance, however, would have attracted
no particular attention In the neigh

a sailor. except there was such de-
gestion in his makeup. His large
frame. sinewy and weather-proof. was
covered with tar's blouse and trous-

under him. While his shaggy .ong
hair and beard were so tangled that

ment as he passed. The man needed

eyes. the dingy tumble-down houses
at either side of his path.
Finally he halted before an ancient
cottage. somewhat more pretentious
than the rest. A quich tremor of irres-
olution seemed to take possession of
him; he steadied himself on the bro
ken gate for a moment, then drawing
himself together with convulsive eff
fort he showed it open and strobe up
to the door. A violent swing of the
old-style. heavy knocker brought to
the entrance q fat, squat, matron,y

husky voice:

alleged increase in prices of wooden
clothing, which of course they attribute

many Americans can still remember
when wool was free under the late demo-
cratic tariff law, and few II any OF them
recall any especial cheapness which re-
suited. And the wage earners- had q
much slighter opportunity to get money

Prices Of cotton cloths have recently adj

ex-senator Foraker shows that he has
no wish to avoid a discussion Of the
