PASSED BY THE CENSOR

dor ways that are dark and tricks that
Il are vain, the Pennsylvania machine poll
tician is the veriest tyro compared to his
Texan prototype, if reports from Delhi in the
Lone Star State be correct According to
advices received in a letter, Mayor Walker
who Is a candidate for reelection, addressed
town meeting the other evening in the
Op'ry House. AT the end of an eloquent and
lengthy speech, he played his trump card by
passing interstate cigars to the men, Here
be it explained that Interstate cigars are
of the kind which, when smoked in Texas,
are smeled as far North as West Virginia,
the wind holding right, as they say at sea.
To double cap the climax, it were, he
passed chocolate candy to the women in the
audience. Then the trouble began.
"Dey's pepper in dis candy howled
woman. Just then one of TIE gift cigars ex-
ploded with the dull, sckening thud" of
which cub reporters write SO eloquently,
Then another popped, and soon there was a
fusillade akin to the battle on the Marne.
The Mayor aghast at first spotted an enemy
in the audience and seized him as perpetrator
OF the outrage. The constable sought to ar
rest the conspirator and soon there was as
nice and pleasant fight as ever enlivened
n political meeting. The letter vouchsafing
all this information winds up:
There is much Indignation here"

DUT Binns, not knowing from whom the
ID news came, and fearing that 1t was a
rumor intended to influence prices of cotton,
rice and other home products, hesitated. The
letter, which was anonymous, reached the
editor one morning. He read it and then
meditated upon his next step. He feared
that the information was so important that
it would be risky to consult any person
to his next step. He had visions of a specu-
lator booming the prices of some home
products or causing a fall in the prices OF
those imports such tea, sugar, coffee and
other goods which had been laid away in
large quantities by some of our long-headed
merchants.
No person in Philadelphia had received
even a suggestion of the news Binns made
it his business to mix among men likely to
have heard such a report, but no one ap-
preached him with rumors of that kind. Late
in the afternoon, however, he sent the let
ter to the Merchants Coffee House, and had
it placed in the coffee house books with
his name as authority. In no time the whole
water front was busy getting ships in readi-
ness to send them to the South for cotton
and rice. The merchants reader to
accept the news than was Binns He printed
the news in his paper the next day.

DRESIDENT MADISON received the news
! in the same manner and spirit. One eve
ming n person, not known in Washington,
presented himself at the Presidents House.
He was met by Madison's private secretary,
Edward Coles, afterward the second Cover
of Illinois, who listened to the strang-
er's story. The private secretary asked the
stranger to remain seated until he carried
his message to the President. The latter
was much surprised at both the information
and the method by which it was brought to
him, and then told Coles to admit to him
the mysterious courier. Madison wanted to
have a look at the man, and to determine
if he was worthy of belief He also called
to his aid the Postmaster General, r. j.
Meigs and the two questioned the stranger
closely.
After long conversation, the President
seemed satisfied yet no information on the
subject came from the Presidents House
until the confirming official dispatch arrived
some days later by which time the news
had already penetrated through large part
of the country.

seized a body Of armed men was in the war
of 1866 between Prussia and the German
States. A regiment of Bavarian cavalry had
been retreating before onpressing Prussians
for days-harassed and hammered at inces-
sanity. At last the Bavarians found refuge
in a dense copse of trees, where they rested
their weary horses. Suddenly shot rang
out; then another.
"The Prussians!" came a cry and the Bava-
rians bolted at top speed never stopping for
ten miles the while two poachcrs gathered
