THE TALK WAS RIGHT.

To the citizens of Chicago the Pres ident said: But if ever the need arises, back of the city stands the State, and back of the State stands the nation. And there, gentlemen. Is 8 point upon which all good Americans are one" That was all well enough, and is cor rect in theory, but the President can not be blind to the fact that the mayor of Chicago has shown no disposition to appeal to the State for assistance, nor Is there any reason to believe that he will do so. Nor can he have any cause to believe that the governor will appeal to him for aid. In short, we have no grounds for believing that either mayor or governor will do his duty in the premises.
 If there should arise such an emer- gency as confronted MT. Cleveland we cannot say whether MT. Roosevelt would do his duty as MT. Cleveland did his or not. Every citizen. Repub lican or Democrat, who wishes to be fair to the great Democratic President will admit that he did his duty with the promptness and fearlessness that has always marked his course in pub lio affairs. He was criticised and abused without stint for his action but he did just what he should have done and just what we hope Roosevelt will do If conditions demand 1t as they did in Mir. Cleveland's time. When, however. he intimated that either the mayor or the governor would apply for assistance to put down what has all along been a most disgraceful sit uation he was giving his hearers a dish of soft solder

Politicians in Washington according to Ire Post of that city, are busy trying to pick out the senator who will be chosen to the vacancy on the Com mittee of Finance left by the death of Platt of Connecticut. Practically all of those mentioned so far, it says, are senators of the hard-shell protection class Senator Gallinger of New Hamp- shire an tra-protectionist, would like the place. So would Senator Proc tor, of Vermont. another ultraprotec- tionist. Senator Dryden, of New Jer- sey, well up to the front among the manufacturing States, has been spoken of for the committee honors, Senator Hale, of Maine. has also been spoken of for the same honor. because of his leadership in combating the revision Idea.

Of chivalry blazcs up as brightly as

in terrring it.
A Chicago youth OF pugiGst;c at

both bew;:ched by the sparkling
eyes and winning ways Of daughter
OF Gotham, and as the latter, it ap-
with either, were t'other dear charm

''t'otheris1" decided that they would
make Harlem prize ring the medium
OF awarding the engagement ring
and the pretty prize that each coveted.
And so t1e matter was settled.
Eight rounds were fought, while the
maiden fair, a block away, fluttered
and wondered as to whom she would
be presented as the gage OF victory.
Finally one OF the smitten SWANS
that is to say, inone respect the least
srnit1en of the swains-was pronounc-
ed the conqueror, and to him went the
girl and the gate receipts, which lat
ter amounted TO $3.50.
The defeated champion bore his
fate like a man. His nobs licked
me-" he said TO the maiden, and then
took the next train for Chicago.
And the maiden? She spent the
next day in furnishing a flat n pro

And who, after this, shall say that
the age OF chivalry has passed away:
