CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
Politics in Nebraska has meant emo
tion for many years; in Kansas bvs-
terra; and each state has a United
States Senator under Indictment"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
Dem.) says: There are 211 Demo-
Gratis in Congress- and the New York
Herald has been making a poll of them.
IL appears now that 162 of them are
against Bryan's views are for him
and AZ are non-committal. This means
that the next Democratic platform will
not consist of obituary resolutions"
The Birmingham News Dem.) says:
For the sake of the honorable men
on the pension roll and for the sake Of
the heroes who fought for patriotism
and not for pelf the service pension
proposition should be defeated. The
economic side is also worthy of con-
sideration. This country is rich. but
there is a limit to its resources. a
drain of $500, 900 900 a year must in
evitably bring about a deficit Justice
and prudence unite to protest against
a service pension"

About Printers, Errors.

Misprints-printers errors-make a
subject that every writer loves to dis
cuss. says the Philadelphia Record.
Usually in the discussion the printer is
heavily blamed, but there is another
side to the questionable printers side
and this workman. could he get a
hearing, would easily show that to one
error that he makes there are a thous-
and errors he corrects.
The printer. though, has difficulty in
being heard, for the writer always has
the floor. At a literary club the other
night a group of writer's discussed
printers errors and many and mar
velous were the cases in point which
they cited.
"Longfellow," said one, ''after he fin
ished his translation of Dante, could
hardly wait for the book to come out.
When it, did come out his first copy
reached him one morning while he was
at breakfast. With a delighted lalIgh
he opened the book, and the first thing
his eye fell on was a misprint. 1t Is
said that at this Longfellow swore-lt
was one of the few occasions where the
good man was known to use pro-
family"
Grimm tells, u.s. said another, t'of a
Frenchman who revised the works, OF
iltS AdfOIlle dulnOI. NlGll lhC III -
volume of the revision appeared it con-
tanned 300 errors and misprints. Grimm
claims that the Frenehman died of the
violent fit of rage which this caused
him.
THE printer who makes the most err
rors is the one called the blacksmith
or machine printer publisher said.
This fellow has too much salf-confi-
dence. If he can't make out the word
'cosmic' he puts comic instead, and
let's it go at that. He will set up plant
for planet bottle for battle scared
soldier for Scared soldier and SO on.
1t was a machine printer who made
No cross, no CROWN read No cows, no
cream
A number of famous misprints were
then quoted. Among them was the
phrase from Proctor's "SpectrOscopic
Analysis" which should have read:
Lines. bands and stria in the violet
part of spectra,' but which did read
Links. bonds and stripes for violet
kinds of spectres. Another was the
tract title which should have been

that Sir Robert Peel and few guests
were shooting peasants i'll Ireland.
Finally there was quoted a good speci-'
men of the nonsense which misplaced
commas create. The specimen was
this:
He entered on his head, his helmet
on his feet, his sandals on his brow, a
cloud in his right hand, his sword in
his eye, an angry glare. He sat down"

Beyond Endurance.

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky tells
good story on himself as a strug
Cling young lawyer, says the New
York Tribune. He was the counsel
for defense of a negro charged with
murder. He hadn't much of a case,
but tried to make up for his lack of
facts by the eloquence of his address
to the jury. 1t was of no avail, and
finally the day for hanging came
around, and the doomed man was told
he could have fifteen minutes in which
to say his last words. There was. a
large crowd present, a larger. one than.
Mr.. Blackburn had ever had the good
fortune to reach the ears of. The fu-
ture Senator saw his opportunity He
had a few hurried words with his cli-
words it would be for the unfortunate
man to talk at such a time, and inn
pressed upon him what a godsend the
opportunity to make a speech would
be to him. Blackburn The negro some
what reluctantly agreed to let him go
ahead. ThereupOn, much to the sur
prise of the auditors, Mr.. Blackburn
launched into an effort on the issues
of the hour. He was proceeding to his
own entire satisfaction when he felt
a tugging at his coat tails. CHANGING
around he encountered the panied ex-
preston of the negro.
"Say, Massa joe" he whispered, "dat

WILLIAM G. WHITNEY.

The death of Mr. William c. Whit
ney will be very generally and sin
cerely regretted. Both as a leading
Democrat and man of affairs he
was widely known and respected. He
was interested in many large. busi-
ness ventures and his reputation as a
financier stands among the best in the
country. But in the public mind he
will be remembered chiefly for his
connection with the beginning of the
building of the new navy" AS Sec
retary of the Navy under the. first
Cleveland administration he brought
his influence to bear in favor of con-
structing a fleet of modern, high-pow-
cred war vessels, and before the end
of his term he had the satisfaction
of seeing several such vessels COM
pleted and put into commission. He
has, indeed, been called the father"
of the new navy, a title that he mer-
tied.

ChamberInin's Umbrella story

Joseph Chamberlain. in one of his
recent tariff reform speeches, told an
umbrella story that has not been re-
corded, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
MIR. Chamberlain wished to point out
that ignorance was to blame for much
OF the censure that had been attached
to his tariff reform scheme. He said:
why, my friends, many of my op-
ponents are as ignorant of my PROPOSE
ton as was a certain farmer many
years ago. of the umbrella.
This farmer had made a journey of
some twenty miles on foot to a small
town. AS he was about to set off for
home again, a hard rain came UP, and
his host loaned him an umbrella--a
novelty at the time-opening it himself
so as to save his friend all possible
trouble.
"A week later the farmer brought
the umbrella back The weather was
bright and fine, but he held the in
strument open over his head
This contrivance.' he grumbled, is
more trouble than it's worth. There
wasn't a doorway in the village I could
get 1t through, and 1 had to tether it
all the week in a field "

The New York correspondent of a

Ito instruct their offspring in the best
style Of endnciation. 1t is now con-
sidered impossible, even in infancy, for
the American tutors to eliminate the
prevalent nasal twang" These Amer
lean fathers, assuming the item to be
correct, would do well to send to the
South for the tutors wanted for their
children. In this section of the coun-
try the educated native has no nasal
twang or other blemish upon his
speech. The purest, most sonorous
and pleasing English spoken anywhere
not even excepting England itself, is
to be heard in the Southern part of
the United States. In Savannah and
Charleston, for instance, there are la
dies descended from colonial stock
whose English would put to shame the
Italian as the language of love and
beauty. To hear it on a moonlight
night in June is to forget that there
are such things as hard rs and nasal
twangs. -t

Chicago divorce cases frequently pre-
sent some unique points. The other
day a Mrs. Hodge, who was suing for
divorce, wanted to know of the court
If it was a wife's duty to press her
husbands trousers. She explained
that her husband wanted the trousers
pressed so that he could go to a party
and dance with other women. He did
not even ask her to go along, she said.
Several society women of Chicago
were interviewed by a reporter with
respect to the matter of pressing
trousers, leaving out the party-going
feature of the case in point. They
were divided in opinion of course;
some of them would press them, while
others wouldn't. But with respect to
the Hodge trousers, specifically there
was unanimity of negative opinion.
In another divorce case in the same city
where the woman had thrashed her
husband the Judge laid down the
principle that man had no right to
permit himself to be thrashed by his
wife. He said he had no sympathy for
a man who failed to assert himself in
so positive a manner that the woman
would know who was head of the
household and conduct herself ac-

UNHAPPY COTTON sPECULATORs.

The remarkable decline in the price
of cotton futures yesterday must have
made the spectators on small margins
and even those on what are regarded
as large ones unhappy. A decline of
81 a bale is a warning to all except
those who have unlimited bank ac-
counts to let cotton futures alone.
Notwithstanding the decline, how
ever, the opinion seems to prevail that
prices will continue to advance. That
is the opinion of Mr.. Danied ]. Sully,
the great bull operator. In an article in
a current review he gives the reason
why in his opinion the price of cotton
will continue to advance until it is
much above what it was at the time
the article was written.
The principal point he makes is that
the world now demands about $4,000, 900
bales of cotton a year and that the sup
ply is only about 12,OOO,O0O. The world
wouldn't take 14,OOO,O 900 bales at present
prices. 1t might take that amount at
&c or &c pound. 1t will be long
while, however, before the price will
drop to sc again. Indeed, it is doubtful
if it viii ever get as low as that.
OF course much reliance isn't to ue
placed upon what Mr.. Sully says about
cotton. It is to his interest just now
to make it appear that the price will
go higher and will remain high, but, as
a matter of fact, he knows much less
about the cotton situation than many
who haven't the nerve he displays in
speculating in cotton.

Preaching the other day on the subject
of "Divine Inspiration" in his church
in New Yory, Rev. Minot j. Savage
told story of Henry Ward Beecher
to illustrate the point and to indicate
that Mr.. Beecher was an inspired
preacher. Mr.. Savage said he had the
narrative from afriend OF Mr.. Beecher.
One day Mr.. Beecher told this friend
that 1t was no uncommon thing for
him to preach in trance. He did not
say that he always did it, but that it
was an experience that was not un-
known to him. He would rise and be-
gin to speak, when there would be a
sudden rush of blood to the head,an he
would lose consciousness, and those
were the days when he preached his
most wonderful sermons. He would
come to himself to find the people
leaning on the rail in front of him,
absorbed and intent with listening,
and when some one would ask him
what he meant by saying a special
thing, he would have to wait for a re-
port OF the sermon to see what II was.
He reports this as an actual experience.
