PRESSOPINIONS,
What Metropolitan Journals Say ef th e
Ticket.
The Boston Herald (independent)
says: ’The demecratic convention,
as a whole, met public expectation
with regard to it. They have par
sued a politic coarse in all their ac
tion. They have acted exactly
as if they meant to omit nothing in
the way of ] caution that should
aid them to v lory. If the repnbli
cans piofi by uieir example and add
a little pi-cautionary progress they
will be wise.”
CHICAGO.
Tbe Morning News (independent)
will say: “Necessity and sentiment
were parents of the democratic tick
et, completed by the nomination of
Allen G. Thurman for the vice-pres
idency at St. Lor '-- . sterday. Events
made ClevelaLu ...e nominee at its
head, and as they Lave steadily ad
vanced him from the mayoralty of
Buffalo to his present high office.
It is a singular piece of good for
tune for the democracy that conples
the names of its most sentimental
ideal with th: f of the ‘man of desti
ny’on the t \ About the politi
cal wisdom A . urinating Thurman
for the vice presidency opinions
may differ. His age is one thing
that can be urged against him, bat
Thnrman‘8 mind is still strong, his
heart is still right and his courage
and convictions as trne and fearless
as ever, His name brings to the
ticket a popularity with the people
throughout the Union that cone
other could. For this he was nomi
nated.“
NEW YORK.
Tbe Herald says; “It is as good
a platform as was ever adopted by a
convention, clear and straightfors
ward. What it declares concerning
promises redeemed is true. What it
promises the ticket guarantees. Now
let us see what the Republicans oan
agree to at Chicago. If they speak
of the past they must confess to
pledges broken by them. If they
speak of tbe future this Democratic
platform warns them to greater hon
esty than they have praticed in re
cent years.”
The World says; “The convention
accepted the issue squarely, and to
clinch its action adopted separate res
elutions indorsing and recommend
ing the early passage of the Mills
bill. The party therefore, stands
committed, through its candidates
its resolutions, to tariff reform, not
only in the abstract, but in the coa-
cretc.”
The Times says: “The platform is
notable and creditable in everything
that it contains. It is still more nota
ble and utterly discreditable for its
deliberate omission of any indorse
ment of the civil service reform. The
platform as it stands after the addi
tions made to it by the resolutions
offered in the convention is dignified,
temperate and candid. The assertion
it contains as to what the democratic
party in possession of the executive
branch of the government and of the
popular house of congress has accom
plished are fairly sustained by the
facts. Though it is not stated and
no one conld expect that it would he,
that in those matters the most credit
of the party administration has not
had the eordial support of the repre
sentatives. of the party in congress.”
“SMELLED LIKE A BARROOM,”
A Wife Attempts to Teach Her Husband
an Object Lesson.
Neal’s State Gazetts*
The young woman who determined
to shame her husband by taking to
tippling, began operations on Wed-,
nesday by setting out an exceedingly
vulgar, rcd'Jabeled bottle on the
back parlor table ia the most osten¬
tatious way. At about the time ber
husband was expected borne she took
a good gulp of tbe liquor, and when
she heard what she supposed to be
bis footsteps on the stoop. Bhe drank
another finger of it, and patting some
more in ber hand, rubbed it over ber
lips. Then she fled to her room to
wait for him. She was intensely
gratified by the conscionsness that,
as she expressed it, she “smelled like
a barroom.” To her surprise tbe
door bell rang and she went to ihe
1 ead of the stairs and peeped over
tho rail to see who had come in place
of her bnsband. It was her mother,
ber father, and a cousin or two from
the country. The old lady spied ber
and there was nothing to do bnt to
come straight down and kiss and be
kissed all aronnd. She was morti¬
fied, for her parents are very straight
laced, pions folks, and conld not
help bnt smell the gin with which
she had perfumed herself so liberally.
Worse, still, while she was assisting
ber father to rid himself of his over
coat, the rest of the party filed sol¬
emnly into the presence of the red-
labeled bottle of the back room. No
thing was said abont the odor of the
bottle, and she was too proud to try
to explain what looked so badly for
her. She told her husband, howev
er, and be was so impolite as to throw
himself on the bed in convulsions of
laughter. She was so angry that
she threatened to leave him. “You
can’t,” said the monster; “your folks
would not receive yon. The most
tbev would do wonld bo to pat yon in
the inebriate asylum.”

Advice to Mothers.
M.J. Winsiaow’s Soothing Syrup
for children teething, is the prescription
of one of the best female nurses and
physicians in the United States, and
has been used for forty years with never
failing success by millions of mothers
for their children. During the process
of teething its value is incalculable.

The Central American’s Weapon.
These fellows are wonderfully expert
with the machete, which serves every
purpose from the digging of a grave to
that of cutting down a tree eighteen
inches in diameter. The machete differs
in length and form according to the sec¬
tion of the country and the main object
for which it was originally designed. In
the cane growing regions of the west
coast it is about thirty inches long. The
edge of the blade is slightly convex, and
increases in width near the end, which
is rounded and flared very similar to the
eastern scimitar. On the Caribbean
coast it is a little longer, but the blade is
riot so convex and of less width. Years
ago It was tbe national weapon of the
country, and in many bloody revolutions
the sight of a regiment of Indians with
these murderous blades sparkling in the
sunlight caused more than one stampede
among the soldiers.—Cor. New York
Herald.
Mrs. lluroettt and the Game.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, talking
about “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” says:
“Most of the scenes in tbe book are real;
that, for instance, in which Cedric under¬
takes to teach his grandfather baseball.
One day the original thought it necessary
to instruct me in the great national game.
After a great deal of explaining, I was
obliged to admit that I was rather stupid.
‘Oh, no, you’re not, dearest, ’ protested
the little boy, *you’re not at all stupid;
but I’m afraid I’m not a good ’splainer,
and then, as you’re a lady, of course
baseball is not very easy to yon.’ ”—New
York Tribune.
Colon from Coal T»r.
Some 150 different colors are now ob¬
tained from coal tar, and these have
almost entirely supplanted vegetable and
animal dyes. In fact, only two of the
vegetable class—indigo and logwood—
are still of any considerable importance.
Coal yields a large amount of coloring
matter, the magenta from a ton being
sufficient to dye 500 yards of flannel; the

Traveler.
The Citizen* of Berlin.
Tbe surface life of Berlin is not spec¬
tacularly impressive, as it is in Paris and
T /mdum. The citizens are, with the ex¬
ception of the officers, the worst dressed
men in Europe. They are aptly described
by the word slouchy. The neckties aro
dim and chosen with execrable taste, and
the clothes are baggy, ill fitting and
dingy. This is the more remarkable be¬
cause the officers of the German army
are the leading dandies of ihe civilized
world, and the crack tailors of London
and Paris are nearly all Germans. In
his native city the German wears big and
rough boots, and garments noticeable for
their clumrinees. He lounges about
theatres, music and cafes, with his
hands in his pockets and his head hang¬
ing forward, content to drink beer and
talk —and it is when he talks that the
ch&rm begins. It is astonishing to a
traveler who has grown accustomed to
the solemn, stupid and conventional talk
of the Pngliah or the constant and unre¬
lieved suggestiveness of the French to
hear a party of Berlin men in a discus¬
sion. They are the best talkers in the
exhibit of absolute and varied knowledge
In the world.—Blakely Hall’s Berlin
Letter.

Th* Humorist and the lun.
Humor seems to accord better with
our present attitude toward life than
poetry does. The humorists certainly
make more money than the poets. This
is a course and brntal test, but it means
popularity, We the approval scientific, of the spirit of
the age, are and science
does-not object to quips and cranks, es¬
pecially when spiritual they are directed transcendental against
religious, latter, or
tenets. The on the contrary, can¬
not endure being laughed at with equa¬
nimity. And, disguise it how we may,
this is a sign of weakness—not necessa¬
rily in true religious, spiritual or transcen¬
dental philosophy, but in what just now
for those philosophies among us.
may be the expression of
a contemptible as well as a con¬
temptuous feeling; but so much the more
ought it to be impotent against what¬
ever is secure in its own strength and
value.—Julian Hawthorne in American
Magazine.
