MIR. wATsoN.s SPEECH.

Judging from his speech at Atlanta
/ last night Mr.. Watson really thinks
/ he is leading a revolt against the Demo-
/ cratic party, whereas he is simply lead
ing a small fragment Of what was the
! Populist party. He calls on Democrats
/ TO follow him. Just why they should
! follow him doesn't appear. unless he
| is in the political contest for the pur-
/ pose Of helping TO elect 8fr. Roosevelt.
He does say that he doesn't see why
Southern Democrats should prefer
| Judge Parker TO Mr.. Roosevelt.
OF course Mr.. Watson understands
that he has no chance Of being
elected. He will not get a single cleo
toral vote. All he can possibly hope to
! do. therefore, is TO draw Democrats
away from Judge Parker. and thus in
crease the chances Of Mr.. Roosevelts
election. We do not believe he will find
many Democrats in this or any other
state willing to assist him in doing
that.
Dir. Watson pretends that he and his
party represent Jehersonian principles
jefferson never heard Of most Of the
things the Populist party stands for.
1t is safe to say that if he were in
the land OF the living he wouldn't recog-
nize in the Populist platform anything
Of Importance for which he would be
willing to stand.
Mr.. Watson seems to be aggrieved
because his friend, Mr.. Hearst, wasn't
nominated by the Democrats. Perhaps
if ne had been, Mr.. Watson would be
on the stump for him instead of be-
ing the nominee for President on the
Populist platform. The Democratic
platform wouldn't, of course, have been
materially different if Mr. Hearst had
been nominated, but Mr.. Watson would
have found in it all the Jeffersonian
principles necessary to secure his ap-
proyal. 1t is because Judge Parker,
instead of Mr.. Hearst, was nominated
that he fails to find Jenersonian prin-
ciples in it.
just why Mr. Watson doesn't like
Judge Parker isn't clear. II is prob
ably because Mr.. Cleveland regards
Judge Parker with favor. 1t is i'm
possible for Mr.. Watson to find any
thing good in a man Mr.. Cleveland ad-
mires.
Mr., Watson charges that Wall street
has got it's grip on both the Democratic
and Republican parties. 1t is an easy
matter to make charge Of that kind,
but what evidence is there that there
is any truth in it so far as the Demo-
cratic party is concerned? 1t would
be an easy matter to charge that Mr.
Watson is in this campaign to help Mr..
Roosevelt, but we have no evidence to
sustain it, and we do not know there
is any. Because Mr.. Belmont wanted
Judge Parker nominated it doesn't fol-
low that the Judge is a candidate of
Wall street, any more than it follows
that because Mr.. Tbbles, the Popu-
list candidate for Vice President, on the
occasion of his recent visit to New
York. was overwhelmed with the at.
tentions Of cranks, the Populist party
is made up of people of that sort.

There are graces and disgraces, says
the New York Press. You would be
surprised to know how many of your
friends never bless the food or give
thanks for it, but nearly every head
of q family can repeat some humorous
invocation, or perhaps blasphemous
one. More than a score have been
mailed to me since blessings were men
toned the other day. a few are ap-
pended:
A New England grace-Heavenly
Father. give US grateful hearts for
these and all Thy bounties; we ask IN
Christ's name. Amen.
A Southern grace-Heavenly Father,
make US thankful for what we are
about to receive. Amen.
a Florida widow at the table of a
minister-Make US thankful for what
we are about to receive, for God S
sake. Amen.
A Widows sacrilege-
Good Lord above. look down in love,
On this detested ham.
And give US meat that we can eat,
For this amt worth -.
An earnest old grandmother-O Lord,
sanctify this food to the nourishment
of our bodies. and us to Thy eternal
service. Amen.
In Scotland
Some haze meat an Gamma eat,
Some can eat that want it,
But We haze meat an We can eat,
And sac the Lord be thankit.
In private boarding school near
New York city the cadets assembled
at meals stand while the officer on
duty asks a blessing. This is the re-
cent formula of the lieutenant: For
what we are about to receive may the
Lord make US truly thankful; for
Christ's sake. Sit" Another officer
neglected to insert the period after
sake" and the cadets dropped into
their chairs with wonderful celebrity.

The Fairbanks soIemnity.

The solemnity of Fairbanks is more
than skin-deep, says Everybodys Mag
azine. 1t is constitutional. For in
stance, he has never in his life made
a speech in which he has not men
toned a graveyard or a coffin. His
nomination to the vice presidency does
not seem to have broken the SPELL
The other day, when his fellow citi-
zens of Indianapolis met to express
the honor they felt he had conferred
upon them by accepting the vice presi-
dency, he began his response thus:
Ladies and gentlemen: In yonder
city of the dead, where are laid the
bodies of so many of the great leaders
of the Republican party"
At this inopportune moment some
carping scoundrel laughed. But unless
Senator Fairbanks reads this, doubt
if he will ever know why.

DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT IN NEW
YORK.

The Democratic leaders in New York
are confident of carrying that state.
They have perfected arrangements by
which the state is being canvassed
thoroughly and the full Democratic
vote will be brought out. The
state has been divided into S.
900 election districts, and in each
district ten men have been APP
pointed whose whole time will be given
to the interests of the Democratic
ticket. In addition, there are three
other men in each district. prominent
in business circles, who will supervise
the political work that is being done.
So quietly have the leaders been
working that fear has been expressed
ing done. 1t turns out, however, that
there was no ground for this fear.
The reports that are being received
from the rural districts are of the
most encouraging character. And in
the city the condition of affairs is sat
isfactory 1t is confidently predicted
that in Greater New York the ma jority
for the Democratic ticket will be the
greatest ever known, while the usual
Republican majority in the rural dis
tricts will be greatly cut down.
At one time it was thought the diff
ferences between Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
McCarren would greatly interfere with
the chances of Democratic success, but
it is believed that they will not cost
the Democratic ticket a single vote.
Some little apprehension is express
ed on account of the candidacy of Mr..
Stanchfield for the Democratic nominal
ton for Governor. This apprehension
wouldn't exist were it not for the fact
that there is some ground for think
ing that Mr.. Hill will insist upon
Stanchtield's nomination. There is no
objection to him personally, but there
are men willing to accept the nominal
ton who would add more strength to
the ticket. 1t is not certain, of course,
that Mr.. Hill could bring about his
nomination If he tried to do so, but he
might, and thus load the ticket with a
burden it couldn't carry successfully.
SIN, Mr. Hill doesn't seem to be doni-
mating Democratic politics in New
York to the extent he did d year or two
ago.

A senatof of Missouri tells of the
reply made By a Kansas City man,
who was visiting New York city, to
a man somewhat disposed to patron
ize the Westerner, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Said the latter:
I'VE visited Missouri. It's a fine
state and I like the people. There's
only one fault in the inhabitants. and
that is they are too provincial"
At this the Missouri man became
very angry.
Let me tell you one thing!" he
shouted. "Missourians may be pro-
vincial in soma things, but in one, at
least, they're far less provincial than
are the people of New York"
Indeed" queried the New Yorker.
prevokingly. And in what respect,
pray?"
"In this respect. sir" responded the
Missouri man. mo one in New York
knows much about Missouri; but every
one in Missouri knows all about New

Battery one morning to take a look
across the harbor at Fort Sumter. says
the New York Herald.
An old negro was sitting on the sea
wall fishing. DR.. Greene watched the
lone fisherman, and finally saw him
pull up an odd-looking fish, cross be-
tween a toad and a catfish.
What kind of fish is that, old
man." inquired DR.. Greene.
"Dey calls IL de Baptist fish," replied
the fisherman, and he tossed the fish
away in disgust
why do they call il the Baptist
fish?" asked the minister.
Because dey spoil so soon after dey

The Republican organs are happy.
They are throwing up their hats and
shouting, in the excess OF their toy.
Senator Fairbanks. their nominee for
Vice President, has at length made a
speech in which there was no reference
to collins or graveyards! So far as
the information goes his recent speech
in Vermont was the first In which he
made no reference to any beautiful
city of the dead" or the collins and
.shrouds of those who have passed over
to the great majority. Some few years
ago. II is said, one Washington news
paper man made bet with another
that Fairbanks couldn't make a speech
without graveyard or coffin in it.
For five years the two newspaper men
kept a strict watch on his speeches.
during which time there was not one
of his public utterances which did not
carry with it the atmosphere of the
churchyard or the undertaker's shop.
Now that the candidate has broken
the ice of his funereal dignity, the
Republican organs have hopes that
he will continue to talk about live
things. at least until the time OF the
election.

Times this story:

who does little else besides talk poll
tics and punish booze. In order to
keep up appearances and please his
daughter he goes to church OCCASION
ally. Not many Sundays ago he was
in his pew, more than half asleep and
about nose full, when his daughter
picked a grasshopper off her dress
and nudged the drowsy father, hand
ing him the grasshopper so that he
might throw it out the window. lie
took it with eyes half open, and, think
ing it Glove, pushed it in his mouth.
There was sputtering which disturb
ed the whole congregation, and the
old man believed so strongly that a
joke had been played on him that
he has vowed never to attend church
again"

Some months ago a cope of rare
workmanship and great value was
stolen from a church in Italy. 1t is
now in possession of an American mil
lionaire whose name is practically a
household word. This millionaire
seems to have had the idea that the
cope was stolen when he bought it,
as he insisted on having a photograph
of the man from whom it was bought.
There is much ado in Italy in con-
nection with the matter, and the de-
mand is insistent that the thief shall
be discovered and punished. But
there is no suggestion that the pur-
chaser of the stolen goods shall be
punished. A junk dealer who buys
a dozen pounds of stolen brass cast
ings finds his way to the penitentiary,
but the millionaire who buys a stol-
en- cope, or other work of art, suffers
no inconvenience.

The serious illness Of Judge W. G.
O'Reilly in Washington recalls the
famous old story of how he once fill
ed queens cuticle full Of bird shot.
Years ago he was United states con-
sui at Zanzibar. The queen of Fan
zibar and her ladies in waiting had
a habit Of bathing in the river, in
front Of the consulate, in the alto
gether." Consul O'Reilly protested
against the practice dozens of times,
to no purpose. Finally, his patience
being exhausted. he issued warm
ing that he would shoot If the offense
were repeated. The next morning
the queen and her following, as usual
went to the river 10 battle. In the
midst Of their sporting in the water
OReilly banged away with his dou-
ble-barreled shotgun, and the dusky
queen received the major portion of
the charge of small shot in her back.
Shortly thereafter O'Reilly came
home, with the reputation which has
remained with him. of being the only
American who over shot queen.
