WHY PUBLIC OPINION Is
UNSETTLED.

ODe OF LUe uO5b dangerous evils
that threatens the efficiency and per-
manence of a republican government
is the tendency of public opinion to
huctuate. An unintelligent faction
that is restless can govern national
election. This class generally can
not conceive of an underlying princi-
pie Of government, but it will follow
the lead of some individual with I'M
answering devotion. If the in
diViduaI is firmly grounded in The
right principles the lead is safe but if
he is demagogue as political leaders
often are, he may lead faction clear
off the correct foundation and put
wrong instead of right into the sad
die. In controlling the election in
Wisconsin the people have followed
an ambitious man clear off the prin
ciples of his party and now the voters
Of the state are mob without princi-
pies or a leader either. There is not
one in ten who can give a single
reason for the faith that is in him.
ROOseVelt's following is more for the
man than his principles. The demo-
Gratis have made the same mistake
and are likely to repeat it.-Hudson
True Republican.
The above view is not very hopeful.
1t is in fact lamentation. But it is
in The main true of present political
conditions. BY far too many citizens
fail in their bounden duty to think
out for themselves the simple affairs
of government. Too often they re-
gard current political question as too
deep for common understanding, and
take their political opinion second
hand from those whom they blindly
worship as smart men and great
thinkers. And this disposition on the
part of the people leads to the preva-
lenCe Of all sorts of false economic
notions. Some years ago when then
the currency question was uppermOst,
many man would say, st is too
deep a question for me, but a great
many smart men want free silver coin

furnishes the STRONGEST iIlnstro+ion

The Superstition Attached to 1t Is by
No Means Modern.

The Superstition Attached to 1t Is by
No Means Modern.
1t is usually stated that the supersti-
tiOus objection to sitting thirteen at
table in Christian countries was based
on the fact of the last supper, when
Christ and his twelve disciples sat
down to eat together Immediately be-
fore the Saviour was seized by his en-
emieS. But IN the Morse mythology,
which is supposed to antedate the in
PRODUCTION of Christianity among the
mortimer, we find the superstition re-
ferred to the fact that at a banquet Of
the gods Loki, the spirit of mischief,
intruded himself, making thirteen at
the table, wherefore there was q fight
and Baldour, a young hero especially
loved by all the gods was killed. For
the fact is the objection to this num-
Der seems to have existed even before
Christianity. Among the Turks the
number is SO disliked and feared that
1t is never even named. With the Az
tees, the abOrigines of Mexico. it was
believed to have magic power, and a
like fancy has been found In other In
dian tribes. Among the ignorant
blacks of the south the fear Of this
number In any connection is actually
absurd, but whether they have Dor
rowed this idea from their imperfect
knowledge Of Christianity or whether
It is a survival of the Voodoo worship
of their ancestors it is impossible to
say, for the superstition has a strong
hold everywhere, even among those
who should know better than to be
swayed by it. In Italy it is never used
in making up the numbers Of the ia
vorite lotteries, and in Paris it is omit
ter in numbering the houses on the
streets.-HOusekeepe

Armenian Msrriaqec.

An Armenian mother usually chooses
her daughters husband. After all bust
ness preliminaries are settled between
the families the bridegroom's mother,
accompanied by a priest and two ma
irons, visits the bride and gives her a
ring in token of espousal, and with
this ring the couple are ultimately
married. Among the fishing communi
ties very ancient and elaborate rings
are used, and they descend as heir
looms from generation to generation.

miles. A union of all the elements op-
posed to Van Buren-some of them
still friendly to Jackson-was reQui-

ions. The Wing party convention met

his great place in the Wing party. He
remained the Wing Dictator.
