not think the selection suitable he pub

COMPENSATION.

For the leader of a nation
There's a wonderful citation
When he gets the news of victory COM
plete;
But there's also comfort waiting
For the man who hears them stating
That his efforts have resulted in defeat.
He can be an eight-hour sleeper,
He can sit down to his three per-"
Far distant from the hustle and the roar.
1t will not be found essential
To meet people influential
Who hammer with petitions on his door.
He can play the games that please
him,
And indulge the moods that seize him
If he wants to take a trip to foreign
lands
He can give a CHEEKY greeting
To each friend he may be meeting
And not put in the whole day shaking
hands.
There is joy in the endeavor
To be powerful or clever;
But when a struggle has been gotten
through
There Is surely compensation
In the blissful relaxation
OF the man who hasn't very much to do.

Where We Could Economic.
* Evening World.

From the New York Evening World.
The high cost of living In this country
is an awful burden. Thank God we have
grit, philosophy and self-denia1 to bear
it. That we are meeting it with calm
and fortitude wonderful to behold fig
ures from the internal revenue bureau
for the quarter ending October l bear elo-
quent and heartrending testimony. In
those three months of struggle to provide
ourselves with the necessities of life, We
toyed with $500, 100000 cigarettes, 1000,
coo 900 more than We got away with in
the same time the year before. We
smoked the record number of 1850, OO0.O0O
cigars In the same quarter We drank
49, 10000 gallons of whisky, an increase
of 10000 gallons over the same period
last year and we drowned the prohibition
party's little $4,000 campaign contribu-
ton in 3.SO0.OOO barrels of beer. which is
10000 barrels up on last years score.
These facts only go to snow that If any
pinching and scraping must be done we
know just how and where to do it, When
we have to take the knife to our expense

grin at the pain.

Take the case of Mr.. Cleveland and
Bourke Cochran. At the Chicago con-
vention in 1892. in a speech memorable
in convention oratory, Mr.. Cochran
begged his brethren not to nominate Mr.
Cleveland. He pronounced him the weak
est man on the list of candidates, and de-
clared that his nomination would cost
the party the state of New York at the
polls. and therefore the election. 1t was
an impa ssioned address. though II failed

Mr.. Wilson at Madison Square.

One of the strongest sentences In the
speech delivered by Mr.. Wilson at the
great demonstrat ton In his honor ana
presence last night was this: God be
pitfful to the man who promises the
American people what he Is not ready to
perform" And the same may De SAID
of a political party. OR political comol-
nation
So far as Mr.. Wilson himself is con-
cerned he Is in no danger OF the divine
or the peoples wrath on that score. His
promises in this campaign have been as
vague as an accomplished rhetor1cian
could make them. On the tariff question
he has taken both sides. declaring at one
appointment against the constitutional1ty
OF protection. and at another giving as
surances to protected industries that they
have nothing to fear from him.
On the trust question he is foot loose
and fancy free 1t would be impossible
to forecast his recommendation to Con-
gress from anything or all things he has
said since the Baltimore convention. Like
many others, he has the catch phrases
against monopoly at his tongues end,
but his scheme for throttling monopoly,
if he has one, is as yet his own secret.
Mr.. Wilson. therefore. has not promised
the people too much, for. specifically. he
has not promised them anything. He Is
so balanced as a candidate that as Presi-
dent he viii be able to shift his foot &C
cording to the latest lights on any of
the vital issues of the hour.
The party, or combination, supporting
Mr.. Wilson. however. is not SO fortunate.
Ii is committed, in large measure by its
platform, and in equally large measure
high cost of living has been attributed
to the Payne law: and If the market bas-
ket is not filled Wednesday next at
half the figure required Monday-as
the result of the simple promise of the
laws repeal-many excellent people will
be disappointed. AS to the trusts, every
white flag at once, and begin to sue for
terms.
The order is too large by half. No
party or combination could do what Is
now promised under MIR. Wilson's lead
ership. Whether constitutional or not,
protection will not, because it cannot, be
uprooted by one or more tariff bills, or
in a generation. And the trusts will tax
Mr. Wilson's intellectuals and will power
far more than even the tariff.
II panic threatens as the result of
Tuesdays vote, 1t will be the duty and
to the interest of men of all parties to
help prevent it, All interests will be in
volved. Mr.. Wilson feels confident that
no such thing will occur. Let us hope,
however. that his confidence is based
upon something more substantial than
the betting odds in Wall street In 1892
they We're ~ to 1 on Mr.. Cleveland, and
yet panic came. Wall street is at all
times a poor politician. and sometimes is
at sad fault as a seer
