A system OF Mnemonic..

To THE EDITOR or THE SUs-Sir: II may in
terest your readers to know ola never failing method
OF calling 10 mind the names of places and OF per
sons perhaps long forgotten and yet that AZ one
time seemed TO be lndelibly printed on the tablets
OF memory.
Like many others, no doubt. I have on occasions
too numerous TO mention been "stumpcd' 10 recall
for the moment heretofore well known names OF
places. persons and things in general. but am
glad To say that by adopting the verySimplc method
which practise when my memory falls me ! In
varlably get Instant relief and seem TO be lifted
out OF the quagmire and mist OF for get fulness.
This Is my method:
Suppose. for instance, that you wish To recall
the name OF a person named Ross" Simply con
centrate your mind on the individual and go down
each letter OF the alphabet, beglnning with "a"
then u" and so on. using the novels In coniunc
ton. a, e. I, GU. For instance. say IA" to your
self I'VE times. brin giDg In a. e, 1, o. u First IA,
then ae, al. 40. III, II there Is nothing IN the
sound suggested by repeating the above several
times and there Is certainly nothing To suggest
Ross" pass on TO b. and say ba, be, bl, b.. bu.
When r." Is reached providing you are concen-
tratlng your mind on the person you wish TO recall
1t Will be a simple matter TO recall the name.
When the Fourth vowel is reached the sound Of the
letters 70" would suggest Rowe. Rowland, Roach
and lastly II not firstly Ross.
am aware that the nve vowels used in con.
junction with the twenty six letters OF the alphabet
will not suggest all names and words like chair"
for instance. for one. but they will MI the bill In
many cases when memory Is lacking As a last
resort one can 60 down the alphabet beginning
with "a" and say "a. ab, ac and so on, then Ia,
BIB. be-. &C. when &c" is reached the word chair"
will come to us when We try to pronounce "ch."

precedent was what stirred the President
to holy anger and poised the Big Stick
over the head Of the developing COM
munity.
Now the districting is to be taken in
hand by the man Of all men most COM
petent to attend to il. This gentleman
proposes to redraw the crooked lines, and
obtain for the Republicans a chance to
win an Office or two. He will correct the
errors Of the constitutional convention,
establish a just division Of the State and
secure to its people a proper .represen-
tation in Congress. Is it necessary to
give the name Of the man who is to do
these things?

The Wrong FavOrite Son.

Ii is a pleasure to see the Hon. WILLIAM
A. ~RoDENBERG, Representative in Con-
gress of the Twenty-second Illinois dis
trict. ladle out butter to our promising
friend the Hon. J~osEPHUs CANNON:
There is nothing In his public or private record
that requires explanation or apology. He is known
to the people OF the United States as a statesman
In the highest and best accsptation OF that term"
A very perfect gentle knight, and a
statesman and no bunker, as Mr.. RoDEN-
BERG shows in language which has the
ring and swing Of a plank" in a platform !:
Progressive In his ideas and courageous in his
advocacy OF them, imbued with a high sense OF
justice and loyal to every policy that makes for
the advancement OF our national prestige, he would
bnng to the discharge OF the great and responsible
duties OF the Presidency a wealth OF experience not
possessed by any other living statesman"
Nobody will deny that high sense Of
justice who remembers how eager Mr..
CANNON was-and doubtless is-for JUS
tice to the Filipinos. How just he was
also to Arizona! The progressiveness of
his ideas is evinced by his confession that
the tariff is not absolutely immutable,
but can be revised, by Republicans, OF
course, some day in some way when there
is no President TO be elected. His u
age is indisputable. Who is holder in
climbing down" unostentatiously and
in a face" saving way when he finds il
futile to kick longer against the pricks
Of public opinion?
Yes; like PARIS handsome and like

JOSEPH, like the original JOSEPH. is a
Favorite Son. Only one exception ram
we take TO Mr.. RoDENBERG's bill of
eulogium. Mr.. CANNoN's wealth of expe-
rience does not exceed that possessed by
any other living statesman. He is only
a boy yet. Mr.. ALLISON, for example, il
more experienced. Or. if Illinois must
have a Favorite Son and choose him on

Oklahoma May Get In.

Now it is reported from Washington
that the undeniable Democracy Of the
proposed State of Oklahoma NAV not
after all, keep that union of Territories
out OF the Union of States. The radical
Constitution which caused such horror
and dismay in Washington may be for
given. The ingratitude Of the electors
may be overlooked. The manifest un-
preparedness for Statehood of a COM
munity that votes against the Republican
candidates for Office may be condoned.
These are apparently small matters,
scarcely worth thinking about.
IL appears that the real offence of the
Oklahoma constitutional convention was
in dividing the embryo State into dis
tricts Of such shape and size as to insure
the election Of five Democrats to the
House of Representatives. II seems that
the apportionment was Il GcTrymander,
a thing most hateful TO Republicans
everywhere, and particularly odious 10

Lodge, Guild and the Mellcn Octopus,


When the scholar in politics traverses
the interval between the two bays, Oyster
and Massachusetts, there is always dan
ger that a forgetful nation will overlook
his heated term achievements. Mr..
LODGE in the summer takes nc outing.
He takes an inning.
Though not its putative parent, the
Nahant statesman is well understood to
accept responsibility for the important
measure just ~engrossed on Massachu-
sets parchment to prevent the discussion
Of the tariff in the coming campaign and

seeks to do any railroad merging before

LODGE with anxiety for his beloved

On or before July II every bed in every
hotel and lodging house in Texas must
have its sheets of statutory length. The
Griggs law Immortal GRIGGs!-so provides.
The Travellers Protective Association asked
the Legislature for compulsory nine foot
sheets. The Legislature complied. Now the
hotel and lodging house keepers are laying
up their store of required sheets. May the
protected and all other travellers sleep
soundly thereon. aud all he well with them.
Laws born of the same spirit will be
passed, doubtless, by other Legislatures.
The regulation of sheets. and we may add
of blankets, coverlids. quilts, holsters and
all sppurtenances and annexes of the peo-
pies sleep, must rightly engage much Of the
best thought of the representatives of a free
people in the State Legislature. But no
uniformity of bed furniture legislation can
be expected. In one State sheets and
blankets will be OF one length; in another
of another; in another. perhaps. the influ-
ence of r~eactionaries may prevent any of
the beneficent improvements SO much
needed. There will he laches here and there;
there will be a mass of confused Legislation,
or the States will refuse to regulate for
themselves thise enormous and growing evil
of abbreviated and disparate bed liner and
stuff. What the States will not do for them
selves the Federal Government must do for
them.
Probably the next MESA &c will deal, and
deal squarely. with Gov eminent supervis-
