too many of the species to stand In avs

too many of the species to stand In avs
of any of them. This may be sad, but 1t
is so. 1t may suggest deterioration In the
rank and file. but that 10 another story. i
The modern sage resents the change.
He liz as tenacious Of his rights as ever
his elder brother was. He stands up for
his dignity, and is unhappy man in any
company where his supremacy Is not
easily and gracefully conceded and his
counsel not serupulously followed.
We may doubt therefore the wisdom Of
the Worlds suggestion. Mr.. Cleveland is
not representative of the Jim Smith or
Bob Davis style of democracy, nor would
his talents find congenial employment in
the upper house of Congress. That arena
calls for an experienced legislator or a
ready debater, or both, and Mr.. Cleveland
is neither. He could not on that account
hope for leadership, or for personal pop
ularity unless his fishing stories, told in
the cloak room. secured it.

The Democrats and the House.

The democrats Of the House are hard to
lead. 1t is an cd story. and goes back
twenty-odd years. with many "halcyon and
vociferous' details.
Call William X. Morrison. a veteran now
taking his ease out in Illinois, and he will
explain some of the difficulties he encoun-
tered in trying TO revise the tariff while he
was the leader Of the House. The Randall
wing of the party made life burden to
him and defeated his whole program.
CAN Roger @. Mills now taking his ease
In Texas. and the tale he will tel will be
worth your while He finally succeeded in
putting the tariff bill he brought in through
the House. but his patience was worn to
what John Wesley Gaines would call
fragile.
Did William NJ. Springer find leadership a
pleasant office? If he could be called back
and Intercepted he would make a confess
sion which would stir all hearts with
mingled amusement and sympathy.
William l.. Wilson. as attractive and ac-
complished a man as ever led in the House.
brought all G his skill and suavity into
play and needed it all. He was a broken
man physically when he retired, and did
not long survive.
Then the democrats lost control, and
have never since regained it. Mr. Bailey
OF Texas tried his hand as leader. but
threw IN the JOB in anger and despair. His
critics charged him with harshness and
boss'sm. He retorted with charges of in
subordination and impract!cabilty.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee came next,
and while one of the best pariamenta-
Rams in the chamber could not marshal his
forces for successful action on anything.
The complaint against him was of a
lack of driving power. He was the oppo-
site of Mr.. Bailey in that particular. being
q man of much patience and Cancellation.
but he also failed.
Then came Mr. Williams. whom we still
have with us He is not so dictatorial as
Mr. Bailey, nor so conciliatory Mr..
Richardson. but knows the ropes and how
to pull them, and has wit and humor. Now
his supremacy is threatened. The mutineers
are saving things and threatening him,
and his days leader appear to be gliding
swiftly by.
But, uncertain the tenure is. the place
has its attractions Men aspire to it. and
some scheme for it. The minority leader
in the next House, which will help shape
the presidential campaign, should find op-
portunity to serve both his party and him
self The present speculation on the sub
jeCt therefore is interesting.

Not a Bad Record for a Bow.

From the New York Sun.
Does the senator think that somebody in
the War Department thought he was a
member of the SiXtieth OhO?-Senator Till
man to Senator Foraker.
The question implies dense ignorance on
the part of the War Department. The
record of such a pertinacous defender of
the rights of enlisted men as Joseph Ben
son Foraker was naturally looked up and
it was learned that at sixteen he joined
the S9th Ohio Infantry. was made a SER
geant August 26, 1862; a first lieutenant
March a. 1864, and on March 10. 1865,
was brevetted captain 'for efficient serv-
ices during the campaigns in North Caro-
lima and Georgia" At the close of the
war Capt. Foraker was serving abide
camp upon the staff of Gen. Henry w.
Slocum. Not bad war record for a boy.
and it explains the sena tors interest in
the fortunes of the men in the ranks.

Fakirs and the Sage Millions

Ever since Russell Sage's death left his
widow the possessor of vast fortune
without restriction in its disposition, a per-
sistent siege has been in progress before
Mrs Sage doors to cause her to bestow
her bounty upon all sorts and conditions
of men and women. claiming to be worthy
objects of charity. So clamorous have
been these applicants that an uniformed
observer OF the phenomenon might easily
believe that they held legal lien upon
the Sage millions. They have been denied
Systematically. although ii is believed that
some OF them have been quietly relieved
when their needs and worth have been
ascertained by private Investigation. That
most of the applicants have been unde-
serving is easily to be believed. The real
sufferers seldom present themselves to ask
for aims. Recently Mrs. Sage's repre-
sentatiyes have been inquiring into certain
cases and reporting their results to the
authorities Five applicants. for example,
gave Syracuse as their place OF residence.
ard the Associated Charities organization
Of that city has received q letter concern
ing them which may be regarded as a
sample of these reports Only one of
the five was worthy of help One of the
others pleaded for the relief of her aged
mother. who died many years ago. Another
woman asked for assistance on the ground
that she was in strait in consequence of
having undergone an operation. whereas
an inquiry failed to show that such an
operation had ever been performed. One
man told a sad tale OF i'll health aud a
suffering wife: he was discovered to be
n widover in robust health. A woman who
pleaded for assistance in piteous terms
found to be a widow who owned a
comfortable home and had a large bank
account

nothing often takes this form and a weak

During the past week thirty-four
Communication and forty-one final proofs
were made, this number being parti-
ally offset by thirty-four filings.
The coming sessions of court in va
rious parts Of this district have given
a decided impetus to applications to
make proof. This is explained by the
fact that a large number of homestead
.entrymen are aliens and as such will
be required to first secure second
papers before they will be entitled to
make five year proof. Especially does
this seem to be the case in that part
of the country dying north of Bismarck
