The Soldering Up" In Prospect

About the worst political blunder of
the generation was that committed by
the managers for Alton B. Parker, when
they made the personality of Theodore
Roosevelt the issue of their campaign.
Selfdenominated conservatives may
would seem even they must realize
that the mass of his fellow-citizens do
not fear him or his relation to their Gin
situations" in the least. Rather, it is
manifest. the body of American voters
believe in Mr.. Roosevelt's reverence for
things American as fully as in their
own.
So the following from the New York
Times has the political significance of
shying at spooks and nothing more;
The most remarkable social and po-
litical phenomenon observable in this
republic today is the immense and grow
ing popularity of Theodore Roosevelt.
To the denomination of Presi-
dent Grant in 1880, it was felt that the
third term tradition offered an insuper-
able obstacle. 1t will not in the slight
est degree avail against the wave of
popular favor that now promises to
make Mr. Roosevelt the candidate next
year. If the time of SOLDERING
up be long deferred, we do not know
that even institutions would count for
very much.
Institutions are in fact the very secret
of Theodore Roosevelts phenomenal
prosperity. But they are institutions of
class not until lately emphasized in
high places.
One of them is the right of the people

to dominate the railroads. Another is
the right of the people to obtain legis-
lation as they want it. Another is the
right of the people to regulate with due
regard for the public welfare the traffic
in commodities such as coal. Another is
the right of the people 10 put male
factors whether they be thieves of pub
lie lands, or receivers of rebate in the
dock Another is tine right of the PEG
Pile to make good legislation effective.

choose between these institutions" and
its Constitution, its Senate, its CONNER
cial stability, its much Haunted pros

our New York contemporary had in
mind They are the very root of the
American charter the wonder is that
it has survived the perversion which has
kept the people so far from controlling
their own. They are and must be the
basis of any general and stable pros
perity. And any other politician who
aspires to succeed Theodore Roosevelt
will succeed precisely in the degree that
he is able to represent the people in serv.
ing them, as well .as the more conven
tional institutions.

Funny Rebellions,

A rebellion in China, as a rule, is a
comparatively harmless affair, says the
Times of India. The people inform
the governor that his exactions are in
excess of custom and that he must re-
duce them. If he agrees the matter
ends. II not, there is demonstration
and perhaps some shooting, but this is
only preliminary to compromise, for
the Picking government never backs up
its officials when force has to be resort
ed to, and the people have far too
much respect for authority to push any
successes to extremes. The troops
boast OF the numbers of the enemy
they have killed, but the fighting does
not often amount to very much. A
typical story is told of the taotai of a
city which shall be nameless who
claimed to have put down a rebellion,
but explained when pressed for par
dculars that 1t had not been necessary
to night since by happy inspiration he
had shaken out tiger skin, which had
30 frightened the insurgents that they
had all run away.

Crows Way of Openinu Clams.

The crows that live along the sea-
shore live on sea food. At times they
show a gull's dexterity in picking eat
ables from the tossing water with their
bills. Their ingenuity, however, is
taxed by the hard shells of CLAIMS.
which they can neither pry into nor
break with their bills. Like some gulls,
the bright crow will seize a clam and
fly to a great height and drop it on a
ledge Of rock. That breaks the shell.
and the crow gets the meat. Near
Vancouver, r. c.. the crow rides
around on the backs of hogs that are
roofing in the flow ground of the tide
The hogs crush the shells of clans and
mussels in their jaws and then drop
them on the ground In order to sepa-
rate the meat from the shell. The
crow jumps in and gets the meat for
itself. On the other hand, the remark
able story comes from Africa that
crows there carry stones to consider
able height above a nest OF ostrich
eggs and let them fall on the tough
shells, and then feed on the exposed
albumen.

If pure clothes law should be
passed and pure clothes inspectors APP
pointed by the government, special
honorable mention would be given to
the brands we sell. The reputation Of
our goods would be immensely in
creased. Everyone would want to
buy of us.
Moreover, if such laws required the
strictest sanitary precautions on the
part Of the makers, and prescribed
high standard of quality for Innings and
cloths, and called for a certain grade
Of tailoring for garments at each price,

would be found to exceed require

MONKEY HELPED TO FISH.

Accompanied His Master and Was
Valuable In Landing Catches.
For some years l lived in a small
town not far from Frome. and, being
very fond of fishing, l was able to in
dulge in my favorite pastime very Of
ten, as the little river abounded in
trout. and l had permission to fish
about eight miles of it.
The only boat on the lake belonged
to Captain c.. who rented a large
house with grounds coming down to
the lake. and he very kindly allowed
me the use of the boat at all times.
The captain was perhaps the finest fly
fisherman ! have ever seen. an enthu-
siast at the sport, and was often to be
seen in the boat, his page boy rowing
him about
The other occupant of the boat was
invariably a monkey that sat stolidly
In the stern sheets, but when the cap
tain hooked fish Jocko was all activ-
lty, dancing about the boat in a most
excited manner, and as soon as the
captain had drawn the fish near enough
the monkey, holding on to the gun
vale with one hand, would seize the
fish with the other, throw ii into the
boat and then resume his usual seat
never saw the monkey lose a fish,
and Captain c. told me that he very
rarely did miss one. He never took q
landing net with him when the monkey
accompanied him-London Field.

Language OF Umbrellas.

There is IA language of umbrellas as
Of flowers. For instance, place your
umbrella in rack and it will often in
dictate that it will change owners.
To open it quickly in the street means
that somebody's eye is going to be in
danger.
To shut it quickly signifies that hat
or two will probably be knocked off.
An umbrella carried over a woman
the man getting nothing but the drip
pings of the rain, signifies courtship.
When a man has the umbrella and
the woman the drippings it indicates
marriage
To swing your umbrella over your
shoulder signifies Il am making a nuis-
ance of myself"
To put an alpaca umbrella by the
side of a silk one signifies Exchange
is no robbery"
To lend an umbrella indicates II am
fool"
10 return an umbrella means-well,
never mind what it means. Nobody
ever does that.-Spare Moments.

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HUMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament'
ally Different.

wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them;
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception of resem'
blance, and humor a perception OF
contrast, Of discrepancy, of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always a moral In
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also pleasurable
surprise, gentle shock, which &C.
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence of a very humane person the
great age and debility of horse that
he formerly owned and used. "You
ought to have killed him." interrupt
