TO Attract Tourists.

Here is a western scheme which
should appeal to patriotic Americans
Oficials and leading residents OF nine
western states noted for scenic at
Effectiveness propose TO organize a
movement looking to the drawing in
that direction of tourists who are in
TIE practice OF going to Europe. The
idea is so to set forth the natural
beauty and sublimity Of the west that
the old world viii be knocked out.
Tourists will be corraled, or rounded
up. wherever they can be found. and
eood-naturedly coerced into abandon
ing trips to Europe and substituting
journeys through the wonderlands OF
the wild and woolly." Care viii be
taken to have them see ali the finest
sights, while their physical welfare
will receive special attention. The
food and lodging will be of the best,
and the railroad accommodations bang
up. The west means business, and
does not intend longer to take back
seat while the effete nations. Of Eu-
rope occupy the good places. And as
that region really has the goods to
show. and with characteristic energy
Is going about the work of advertising
its charms and guaranteeing that
everything shall fully conform TO the
samples. il is quite likely to work
up a first-class trade. Europe is old
and hackneyed. The west is fresh,
beautiful and original, and in such a
rivalry is bound to win.

TAMMANY COMBINATION.
Answers TO Questions Which Should
Interest Students OF Social
Conditions.

What is Tammany hall? Why are
various political organizations in New
York uniting in an attempt to COM
pass NJ defeat, and how does il hap
pen that it is thought necessary to
appeal to everything that is not Tam
many to unite against Il? The answer
to these questions should interest stu
dents OF social conditions more than
the student OF politics, says Youths
Companion.
To take them in reverse order, 1t
may be said that the vehemence of the
appeal made by the anti-Tammany
forces is due to their knowledge of the
hold which Tammany has upon the
loyalty of large body Of voters. The
rammany leaders have attached to
themselves following large enough
to carry the elections in ordinary years
when the people are not aroused by
some great political scandal. Those
followers are loyal because the leader
takes care of them. When they are
out OF work he finds them employ
ment; when they are arrested he goes
to the police court and secures their re-
lease on bail; when they are sick he
gets a doctor for them. and he gives
free dinners on Thanksgiving day and
picnics in summer.
Those who seek the defeat of Tam
many maintain that the political or
sanitation exists because its leaders
desire primarily to make money out

duct of affairs. save as that keeps the
voters complacent. That they are in
politics for personal gain has been adj

Tammany hall itself is a building.

The real point of opposition to Tam
many, then, is that its political power
is a combination OF two elements
which are in politics for what is to be
made out of 1.-THE leaders greedy Of
money which Office or the control OF
Offices enables them to get out Of the
