Mark Twain's Hints.

1t was mentioned In our news columns
yesterday that there was such rush
to hear Mark Twain at the Y. M. c. A
meeting in New York Sunday after
noon that a panic was wel-nigh Gre
ated. But Mr.. Clemens was always 4.

the way, in speaking of old age. ne said
that Mr.. Choate, who IS older than he
Is. told him the other day that he never
enjoyed life as he does, now tina he has
reached the eighth decade. He also
quoted w. d. Howells as saying that old
age had every advantage
Mr. Clemens also gave some hints to
the travelling public and TO citizens gen
orally who have to deal with public SER
vice corporations.
Citizenship" he said, is OF the first
Importance i'll a land where BODY of
citizens can change the whole atmo-
sphere OF politics. as has been done in
Philadelphia. There Is less graft there
than there used to be- | was going IN
move to Philadelphia. but It Is no plac.
for enterprises now
Mr.. Clemens told OF little experience
he had with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
II was travelling from Chicago, he
said. and engaged a stateroon on a
certain train. For above all its other
conveniences, the stateroom gives the
privilege of smoking. When we arrived
at the station the conductor told us he
was very sorry the car with our state
room was left off. ! said:
You are under contract to furnish a
stateroom on this train am In no
hurry. ] can stay here a week at the
roads expense. lt'ii have 10 paw NV
| expenses and little over
Then the conductor called grandee.
and after some argument. he went and
bundled some meek people out OF the
staterocm, told them something not
strictly true. and gave It to me. About
u o'clock the conductor looked In on
mo and was very kind and winning. He
told me No know my father-in-law. 1t
was much more respectable to know nv
fathor-in-iaw than me IN those days.
Then lie developed his game. He wac
very sorry the car was only going to
Pittsbnrs and he couldn't get another
car Ho threw himself on nv mercy.
Eut 10 him | only replied:
Then You had better buy the car
u had forgotten all about this. when.
some ttnlo after, Mr.. Thompson. president
OF the Pennsylvania heard was going
70 chicago again and wired:
! am sending my private car. Glenn
ems cannot ride on an ordinary car. He
costs too mnch.''
The chronic kicker is n bore, but real
honest righteous kicking is a duty OF
citizenship.

An Open Letter.
To the Honorable Bodies, the Senate OF
Virginia ana the Virginia Housc OF

To the Honorable Bodies, the Senate OF
virginia ana the Virginia House OF
Delegates:
tientcmen.-If / mistake not, there will
soon be brought before you tor your con-
sheraton ana action several amendments
TO our laws controlling and regulating
the manufacture and sale OF intoxicants.
one of these amendments seeks TO put
the applicant for distlllers' license upon
the same plane with the applicant for
bar-room license. There are thousands OF
US who believe that this is only fair and
right. We insist that the law as II now
stands, discriminarcs unfairly and un-
justly against the applicant for bar-room
license. because 1t imposes upon him con-
ditions to be met In procuring license that
are not required of the man who wishes
To sell as distller.
AS the law now operates the same court
refuses license to one man to sell In
toxicants In Il certain community and
within the same hour grants license to
very same people. And this not be-
cause the man turned down was not az
worthy as the man favored. but. be-
cause the law threw Up its barriers
against one man and cleared away the
barriers for the other man. Gentlemen,
IL this Is not class legislation what
Is II?
Many applicants for bar-room license
are poor men The dlstiller has capital.
Virtually. the law now says. IL you
have money enough TO pianta dist!llery
in a community. Il Will let yg-i sell In
toNicants TO its members. If H>u are too
poor to build and equip a alstillery.
prohibit you from selling to that people,.
Is this far removed from class legisia-
ton? In this realm the imperiaist, the
autocrat. is the Virginia distier. In
any community, wherever he wills, he
can fasten the manufacture and local sale
of ardent spirits. He can jcer at the
defeated applicant for bar-room license
while snecring at the helplessncss and
protests OF the community he invades.
Honorable sirs. whatever fate awaits
the other amendments, may we not feel
assured that sne amendment under con-
sideration Will be made law by your act?
In this appeal we waive and exclude
every consideration except that of justice
towards the men recognized by our law
as applicants for bar-room license. we
Insist that the conditions imposed by Jaw
upon them as necessary steps in securing
bar-room license ought to be conditions
for the distille, as we'll. We protest
against the discrimination that brings the
bar-room applicant under the operation
of the will OF n majority. while It leaves
the distilery applicant free to WELD an
arbitrary one man power that can defy
the will of any community In. the
state. we believe that the aues-
ton of Justice involved. of itself.
furnishes aIf-suniclent grounds for
unanimous Legislative action that Will
give the dstiller the same right but the
same right only to enter a community
that the saloon-keeper has This we
claim, Is Democratic doctrine. This we
insist is only cAlR Tia =.

he has now become more amiable. better
tanned more afnerablc. and that this
accounts for his promotions.
It will be recalled that during the last
Democratic convention In st. Louis there
was much friction In tho Committee on
Resolutions between Mr.. Bryan and the
safe end sane members. 1t was SEN
ntor Tlllnan who came to the rescic and
made peace and succeeded In getting a
the situation finally dnwned upon the
pitchfork senator from South Carolina.
and in talking with como OF his friends
he enthusiastically congratulated linn
self. finally remarking with his usual en-
phnsis that he really believed ho was be-
coming safe and sane himself.
Senator Tillmnn has had a remarkable
career, nm outline of which Is given in
the Sunday issue OF the New York Sun.
His father died when he was but two
years old, but he had an uncle who took
an interest In him as he grew up, and
bcdueathcd to him his large and we'll
chosen library. From tho time that he
received 1t Mr.. Tillman became a student,
and 1t is said that he Is now ono OF the
best read men in Congress. Not long
ago he was compelled to take morphine
to case the pain in his throat, upon which
several operations were performed, and
while under the influence OF the drug he
lay back in his bed and repeated line
after line and stanza after stanza from
Byron, Keats, Shelley, Ternyson, Shakes
which he had not read for perhaps twenty
years.
Mr. Tillman never had the advantage
of a college education. He was fourteen
years of age when the war between the
States broke out, and was sent to an
academy to prepare for college, but an
nbscess formed in the back of his left
eye and entirely destroyed it. At. the
age OF seventeen he enlisted in the artil-
lery corps at Atlanta. but was never
able to go to the front on account of his
illness. As soon as he recovered his
health lhe took charge of his mothers
large estate. farm of 600 acres, and
this he managed until he was elected
Governor in 1890. He married at twenty.
and his fellow student OF his farm and
all his affairs was his young wife. There
are several children. the Oldest son being
his private secretary. Mr.. Tilman did
not hold any Office until lie was elected
Governor of South Carolina. Five years
prior to that he was scarcely known out
side of his immediate section. The first
public speech he ever made was at a
gathering OF farmers at Bennettsville. in
1885, when he was thirty-eght years old
But the speech attracted the attention of
the whole State, brought him into imme-
date prominence. and since then he has
been a conspicuous figure in South Car
DINA affairs and the leading politician of
the State.
He is Il curious compound. We had not
supposed that Mr.. Tillman was literary
man we had not thought of him as a
lover of poetry 1t had never dawned
upon us that he was man of sentiment,
vet we are told that he is not only n
lover OF poetry. but lover of flowers.
But we like him none the less for 1t.
