Some men are born politicians,
some achieve political fame, and
some]have offices thrust upon them.
The first and last classes are not as
numerous as great many suppose,
or as a great many would have us
suppose.
Politics is hard work, and the
successful, and often theunsuccess-
ful, politician does an amount of
rustleing around that would sur
prise and discourage those who
think politics an easy and genteel
way of making a living. The pol
itician has got to know everybody
and all his relatives, and who are
his friends and enemies. He has
got to know Jim Jones’pet weak
ness, and Bill Smith’s sore spot.
He has to have a memory longer
than the oldest inhabitant. He
has to know when to be silent and
when to speak. Has to learn to
tell a lie so that it will have the
appearance of the solemn truth,
and with all these acquirements he

There are some men who go in
to politics for fun, and some who
go into the business for profit.
The fellow who goes in for fan
generally makes the most out of
it, but it costs him the most mon
ey-
There are move little surprises
in politics than there is in a wo
man’s whims, and they are contin
ually being sprang on you. Tou
may think you know all about it
when you goto bed, and next morn
ing yon may even doubt your own
identity. Politics is a good deal
like chemicals—let an unknown
quantity get mixed up in them
and there’s apt to be an explosion
that knocks all your carefully pre
pared plans into a chaotic ruiu.
Politics as discussed in a corner
grocery is an innocent and aes
thetic amusement; but politics as
practiced by a professional, has in
it all the elements of a dynamite
bomb, and is so akin to crime that
it hugs the outside walls of the
penitentiary.
The man who goes into politics
and stays there any length of time
of necessity becomes something
of a philosopher. He learns that
the country will not be totally
rained if his candidate is not suc
cessful, and .there will be so little
change that in a few months the
people will forget that there has
ever been any election. He learns
by sad experience that the election
of his candidate is of little pecuni
ary profit to him, and that an office
holder has a wonderfully short
momory. He learns to accept de
feat gracefully, and does not fool
away his time abusing the voters
after an election. In short, he
learns to look upon politics as a
game that two can play at. And
when he gets into that happy
frame of mind, he is the most hap
py of beings.
The Philosopher.
£|The slot machine, which has re
cently had such a run in all catch
penny schemes, was known and
used by the Egyptians centuries
before the opening of the Christ
ian era. Hero of Alexandria, who
lived 200 years before the time of
Christ, describes one used for the
dispensation of holy water. A
coin of 5 drachmae dropped into
a slot in a vase opened a valve in a
vase which permitted a few drops
of the purifying liquid to escape.
Surely there is nothing new un
der the sun.
American countries.
This is a signal victory, for Mr.
Blaine, and shows that he has
played his cards well. Indeed, it
makes the plumed knight the chief
of the republican party,and throws
Reed and McKinly to the rear, [t
means McKinly’s death as a presi
dential possibility for ’92,for Mr.
Blaine steps in as the great tariff
leader. It makes himself a great
man in his party again. McKinly
must run for governor of Ohio, -nd
reclaim the state from Campbell,
Reed will make a great kick against
the deal between the secretary and
his little president. He, with Mc
Kinly as his lieutenant, will make
an effort to defeat the reciprocity
amendment in the house,bat if they
fail to get their followers together,
and the chances are they will, then
the tyrant and McKinly will have
to grin and bear it. It means re
pudiation of their methods, but
even Tom Reed has not the nerve
to make war on the president, the
cabinet and the senate combined.
Thus Blaine and reciprocity are
on top. The great Maine republi
can has won in this battle, and he
is going to win in another.
That fight will be against the
force bill. • With Blaine’s present
standing in the party, even if there
were no other forces against the
election bill, he would probably
defeat it.
As it is now, almost certain death
awaits the force and fraud bill.
The best politicians in the re
publican party, led -by “Boss”
Quay, are How making war on this
measure, for within the last few
days letters have been received
from the great manufacturing firms
in the north, who have heretofore
“put up” liberally when called up
on by Quay’s committee, stating
that if the force bill passes they
will never contribute another cent
toward republican success. It was
The Constitution’s protest that
caused the writing of these letters,
and, almost directly, that protest
will kill the bill.
Even Harrison is said to be
weakening, for he sees both the
brains and the money of his party
are opposed to such a bill. Indeed,
it is believed that within the next
ten days he will give his consent
to the senate’s postponing consid
eration of the bill until the next
session, and from the present out
look that will probably be the re
sult.
Of coarse that means the death
of the force bill. If it is not pass
ed this session, it will never pass.
Blaine is truly a great man. He
is almost good enough to be a dem-
crat.
sues, of state issues and of local is
sues. Touching national measures
the selfishnes of extreme partisans
is prominent to every unpreju
diced mind. Partisan measures
looking to party supremacy are
framed, advocated and pressed in
the halls of the national congress,
while the general good is left in
the back ground, and relegated to
the shades of after considera
tion.
Financial measures emanating
from national legislation are in
force to-day that keep the noses of
of our working people bound to
the grindstone of poverty,. and
ihese measures are but the fruit of
that sordid spirit that looks not be
yond the limited circle of self ag
grandizement. These cormorants,
who are.tbus self feeders from the
national treasury,look only on that
side of these financial measures
that panders to their monied inter
ests, and regard not the burden
and oppression that come to oth
ers.
Indeed is it not becoming
more aDd more apparent that much
of oar national legislation is the
fruit of-the highest bidding? If
so,it is not true that individual self
ishness, which looks only on one
side, is at]the bottom of it? Like
wise, is not the same spirit more
or less observable when and where
state questions and state issues
are being considered? And in
this manner is not the general
good often defeated?
Now, we take the position that
whenever public questions and
public issues are under discussion,
both sides of these issues should
be thoroughly considered.and ana
lytically sifted, and when if is as
certained by such consideration
what line of policy will work the
greatest good to the greatest num
ber, that line of policy should be
adopted and pursued, an! let fa
vorites and favored classes share
under its operations. And that
citizen, who, in the capacity of a
public servant, is actuated by.self
fishness, and who cannot and will
not devote his ability, his energy
and efforts to promote that which
is best for all the people, is not
the patriot whom the people should
call to serve them. Hence in dis
cussing public issues, let us exam
ine both sides and get ont of them
that which is best for all.

Women love strong men. A weak
man may excite their sympalhy,
and a woman’s careful tenderness
soothe and soften the anguish of a
weak man’s soul, but the laughing,
joyous, warm, exuberant love of
women belongs to men that are
strong, noble and kind. JThen why ]
will a man continue weak, mean
and peevish.

Contagious Blood Diseases
The horror of blood diseases is
the fact that they are contagious.
Eczema, Saltrheum, Itch, and oth
er skin diseases may" be contract
ed by using the same towel, and
thus it frequently happens that a
whole family becomes effected
with the disease some member has
contracted elsewhere. It is obvi
ously the sacred doty of anyone
who suffers with a blood disease to
rid themselves of this impurity.
This can easily and quickly be
done by using Dr. Bull’s Sarsapa
rilla, the only perfectly safe and
complete blood purifier in the
world. Its virtue is exclusively
its own, and no other medicine can
compare with it in strength or effi
cacy. Any druggist will get it for
yon. Take no other. Observe its
size and test it virtue.—Washing

Senator Call’s farmers’ bank
scheme is a rather novel one. It is
the sub-treasury plan in another
form, only on a more extensive
scale; but it is not called a sub
treasury plan. Senator Call’s plan
is in the nature of an amendment
to the national banking law, “so as
to provide relief for farmers.” The
sub-treasury plan would be limited
to one warehouse • for each county,
but on the basis of the Call plan
there could be quite a number of
national banks in a county. All
that it is necessary to do to estab
lish a bank by this plan is to ware
house 8100,000 worth of "• non-per
ishable farm products, subscribe
for 850,000 capital stock, and get a
national bank charter. The farm
product bank would be empowered
to discount notes secured by ware
house certifiicates of cotton, corn,
orts, barley, and so on, to the ex
tent of 80 per cent, of the market
value of such articles.
The benevolent features of the
plan are more clearly brought out
in the provision requiring the con
troller, on satisfactory proof fur
nished him by any bank organized
under the provisions of the act
that warehouse certificates fornon-
perishabe farm products have been
or will be deposited as security for
the promissory notes of the per
sons who produced or who own the
farm products, to deliver to the
bank treasury notes to the amount
of $2 for every dollar in gold or
silver held on deposit in the treas
ury for such bank, which treasury
notes can be used only to uisconnt
notes secured by warehouse certifi
cates of the deposit of non-perish
able farm products.
Banks organized under the pro
visions of this act may,at any time,
on depositing mortgages on real
estate which have been approved
by the controller of the currency,
or bonds or interest paying Securi
ties of the United States, or any of
the states, or cities,or counties, ap
proved by the Secretary of the
Treasury, receive treasury notes to
the extent of 82 for 81 of the gold
and silver belonging to such bank
in the United States treasury.
Senator Call does not claim cred
it for the bill. There is good rea
son to believe that-, like the sub-
treasury plan, it is an alliance
measure,and was introduced at the
request of those alliancemen who
think the sub-treasury plan would
require the combination of too
much capital in the shape of farm
products. They, therefore, pro
pose this amendment to the bank
ing bill. It is hardly probable that
it will prove as acceptable as the
sub-treasury plan.

The country swarms with nib-

ning to look around in an effort to
discover something that will put a
stop to a practice that cost them
many dollars in the coarse of a
year. An old dealer says the most
aggravating feature of the nibbling
practice is that a majority of the
nibblersare not regular custom
ers, the profits on whose trade
might palliate an occasional tak
ing of a bit of this, or a bit of that
without payment, but generally a
spasmodic purchaser who, buying
some article of small value, yield
ing a trifling profit, will scoop up
a handful of prunes, crackers, figs
or dates—more than enough to
take off the profit of his purchase.
If people who are guilty of this
unmannerly impertinence would
stop a moment to consider, they
would admit that their wrong do
ing is as actual as though they took
a nickle or a dime out of the gro

habit of nibbling.
“I thought yon were one of i
those who looked upon old. age
cheerfully, and welcomed it as a
season of peace and contented eu-
joyment.”
I am one of those who so regard
it. Those are not bitter and scald
ing tears that fall from my eyes
upon the “mossy marbles.” The
yonng companions, who left my
side early in my life’s journey are
still with me in the unchanged
freshness and beauty of youth.—
Those who have long Kept compa
ny with dip live on after their
seeming departure, were it only
by the mere force of habit; their
images are all around me, as if ev
ery servic had been a sensitive film
that photographed them; their
voices echo about me, as if they
had been recorded on those unfor
getting cylinders which bring back
to ns the tones and accents that
have imprinted them, as the ex
tinct animals left tbeir tracks on
the hardened sands.
The melancholy of old age has a
divine tenderness in it, which only
the sad experience of life can lend
a human soul. But there is a low
er level—that of tranquil content
ment and easy acquiescence in the
conditions in which we find our
selves; a lower level in which old
age trudges patiently when not
using its wings. I say its vangs,
for no period of life is so imagina
tive as that which looks' to yonng-
er people-the most - prosaic. The
atmosphere of memory is one in
which imagination flies more easi
ly and feels itself more at home
than in the thinner ether of youth
ful anticipaiion.
Cure for Bad Temper.
A wife went to a dervish for a
charm that would cure her husband
of his very bad temper. She told
the wise man that they disagreed
daily, and that in the end he al
ways flew into passion and beat
her, though at other times he was
fond and kind. The wise man took
from his bundle a full bottle and
gave it to the woman, saying:
“Here is a charmed liquid. The
minnte you see signs of anger in
your husband, fill yonr month with
it, and be careful to hold it there
untill the last trace of ill-temper
has disappeared. On no account
must you swallow or lose one drop
of it. "When this is gone come to
me for more.” -
A month later the woman came
back, all smiles and thanks, with a
great gold piece to exchange for
more of the precious liquor.
“Father,” she said, “1 would not
be without your charm for my life.
The moment my husband begins
to fret I run and fill my month.
All that I have will I give you for
the precious water.”
The dervish smiled, and said:
“My daughter, the charmed liquid
was only water. Go yon to the
well and fill your bottle when yon
will. The only charm is silence.
You could not talk back; and in all
my experience, it has taken two to
make a quarrel.”
in a direction a little south and
east, is, perhaps, the greatest for
est region in the world. A part
of it strikes south of the Congo,
at the great northern bend of the
river, and the country embraced
within the big curve is covered
witli a compact forest, shutting out
a large part of the sunlight.
In these Jorests, completely shut
out from the rest of the world, live
hundreds of thousands of people
who are almost unknown to the
tribes living in the savanna regions
outside. Scattered through the
big woods within the Congo bend
are little communities, of Batwa
dwarfs, of whose existence the
traveller has no inkling until he
suddenly comes upon them. Here
also along the Sakuru river are the
tree habitations described by Dr.
Wolf, where the ' natives live in
huts built among the branches of
the trees to escape the river
floods. It was in- great clearings
made in these forests that Knnd
and Tappenbeck discovered some
of the most notable villages yet
found in Africa, where well-built
huts, with gabled roofs, lined both
sides of a neatly kept street that
stretches away for eight of nine
miles. These villages are even
more interesting than the street
towns in the more sparsely tim
bered regions south of them, which
were regarded as very wonderful
when they were first discovered by
Wissmann.
