JUDGE GKESHAM.

Whatever may be said of Judge Gresham us a mm or as a practical officer, it is olear that his conduct for some years past, has displayed an unreasonable thirst for office. There can be no doubt that in 1888 he was willing if not anxious, to accept the Republican nomination for President. He was willing to become a oandidate of a party which had always stood for protection to our home industries, for the doctrine was declared in the platform upon which Mr. Linooln was nominated in 1860, and continued to be reiterated in every subsequent platform, in even moreemp1 a'io terms. In 1S92 there is no doubt he coquetted with the populist party, and in 1S98 he is willing to accept one of the highest offioes under an administration pledged Dy its platform to the doctrine that anv protection whatever is a fraud and a wrong to the people. Fromthete facts it is plain that Jadge Gresham'f. idea is that a man may seek office at the sacrifice of his consfstenoy. It is not possible to imagine such great men as Washington and Clay and Lincoln seeking positions in the government service by any such methods, The public judgment, in due time, will pronounce such methods unwarranted and Judge Grtsham's good name and fame are sure to suffer by hia acceptance of a place in

BOUGH 0B COL. SELLER.

Senator Seller, according to the legislative report of proceedings in tte Senate, as published in the Sentinel, "Las it in for his country piper," and opposed the farther publication of the election ballot. If Senator Seller ever subscribed and paid for "his country paper" in all the years he has lived here we have yet to hear of it, and if any published in Crawfordsville knows ol him so doing please arise. Publishers here will never open a bank account through his patronage, and his "having it in" for anybody need not cause them to lose sleep in consequence.—Crawfordsville Review.

SENATOB SELLER has been posing as the champion reformer of the Senate since the organization, and he deliverec a long "reform" speech, in which he could not conceal that he "bad it in" foi his county newspaper.—In dianupolu Sentinel.

Ail the same this "champion reformer" favored the saddling on the State of an increased number of lazy loafers as door-keepers, clerks, etc., at an expense of several thousands of dollars to the tax payers. It is well to keep an eye on all such "champion reformers."— Crawfordsville Review.

TUB Democratic Senators who are opposing Hawaiian annexation are not, hostile to the proposition, but they want annexation to be delayed until the extra session, so that the honor attaching to it could be claimed by i. Democratic administration.

SEXAROB BOORD'S slap at the hoo} skirt is all right. The Senator has a girl in Covington who has a hammock and he appreciates the alarming situation. The girl with a hoopskirt would not be at all attractive in a hammock.

SENATOR GORMAN gives notice to the Democrats that by the first of July next they will have to increaee the revenues of the goverament. In oiher words, they will have to reform the tariff bv imposing additional taxes.

IT may be true that Democratic statesmanship at the present day does not meot the requirements of the State Department, but it is rather a humiliating confession for Cleveland to make.

THE Popnlists can't stand the sight I of guns. Even rotten eggs cowed Com-mander-in chief Weaver and his staff, male snd female, on a well remembered occasion last summer.

THE Hawaiian treaty provides for the payment of an annuity of 820,000 to exQueen Liliuokalin ). and she will, therefore, have no excuse for annexing herself to tho stage.

CLEVELAND will hardly consent to send troops to Kansas for political purposes in view of the fact that the State did'nt cast a single vote tor him at tho last election.

LAJV-PABTSEK BISSF.LL in a graduate of Yale College, but that institution has never yet advertised the fact as a certificate of the value of its course of instruo. tion.

SOPHY WAS TRUE.

Mr.

Mortimora Will Now Attend to His Own Business.

Let me see—where was it that 1 first met her? Oh, yes it was under the ancient arohes of tho old bridge, boating by moonlight, the sound of a flute played softly afar off. and all of a sudden the keel of my boat coming sharply in contact with somebody's oars.

Hello, you!" cried out a clear, incisive young voice. "Where are you goiug? Why don't you look which way you are steering?" "Charley Dresden!" cried out I, little heeding the torrents of obloquy he was beginning to heap upon mo. "Old Mortimorel" he responded joyously. "Why, who on earth would have thought of finding you dreaming on tho Thames? Here! Come into my boat. Hitch on your old craft behind! and let me introduce you to Miss Sophy Adriance."

I looked as sharply at Miss Sophy as the moonlight and my own modesty would let me, for I knew that she was the especial admiration of my friend, Charley Dresden. I had heard her bluo eyes and peach-blossom cheeks raved about until even my much-enduring patience had failed.

She was pretty, slight, round and rosy, with china-blue eyes, a dimple in either cheek and golden brown hair worn in long, loose curls, with none of the fashionable abominations crimps, frizzes and artificial braids about her.

A week afterward Dresden and I met face to face in St James street. "Hallo, Mortimore!" said Charley, his honest visage lighting up. "What do you think of her?" "I think she is a pearl—a jewel—a princess among women!" 1 answered with perfect sincerity. "Congratulate me, then''' cried Charley, beaming all over, "for I am engaged to her. Only last night! Look here!" opening a mysterious silver case which he took from his inner vest pocket, "What do you think of that for an engagement ring?" "A fine diamond," said I, critically putting my head to one side, "and I fancifully set." "We're to be married in October," said Charley, lowering his voice to the most confidential tones. "It might have been sooner if I hadn't undertaken that business in Franco for our firm. But I shall bo sure to be back by October."

So we parted with a reciprocating squeeze oi the hand, and Charley's bright face haunted me all day with a sort of reminiscence of what might have happened to me if I hadn't been five-and-forty, with a bald spot ou the back of my head.

I spent an evening with her afterward at the West end house, where she and her mother—a nice, bright-eyed little woman, the full-blown rose to correspond with Sophy's budding loveliness—dwelt in the cosiest of apartments, furnished in dark blue reps, and with canaries aud geraniums in the indows. "It is so kind of you to come," said Sophy, with a gentle pressure of the hand, when I went away. "I'm so glad to welcome Charley's friends."'

And 1 thought that I could sit through another evening of commonplace chit chat and photograph albums for such a reward as that

Well, Charley Dresden went away, and, as he didn't particularly leave Sophy Adriance in my charge, I didn't feel called upon to present myself at the lodging house where the blue reps figured and the canaries sang in the south windows.

I supposed, naturally enough, that all was going right, until one day 1 received a note from my old friend Bullion, the banker, a man of sixty, who wears a wig and spectacles, and counts his income upon the double fitrures.

Bullion wrote from Brighton, where he had gone because he didn't know what else to do with himself in the dull season. He asked me to be his best man. BullioD was going to be married!

Of course you'll think it a foolish thing for me to do," wrote Bullion "even at sixty a man has not entirely outlived the age of sentiment and when once you see Sophy Adriance you will forgive any seeming inconsistency on my part." "Sophy Adriance!" Was this the way poor Charley's fiancee was serving him while he was across the channel, trying to earn a little money for her Bake? My heart rebelled against the fickleness of woman.

I went straight to the pretty West end house. It was possible that I might be misled by a similarity of name, although even that was unlikely. "Is Miss Adriance at home?" I asked of the servant who answered the bell. "No, sir. Miss Adriance is spending a few weeks with a friend at Brighton," she answered, promptly.

That was enough. I went home and inclosed Bullion's letter in another envelope, directing it to poor Charley Dresden's address, post restante, Paris,

,.

A

And then I wrote curtl.v. declining to "stand up" with old Bullion. It was but a few days subsequently that the waiter showed an elegantly dressed young woman into my room at

the hotel where I was stopping. I roser

you've known him for such a long time, I thought perhaps you could explain it to me. Oh, I have been so \vrctched! AiuK indeed, 1 didn't deserve it!"

She gave me a tear-blotted letter, and then sat down to cry quietly in the corner of the sofa, until such time as I should have finished its perusal.

It was a fit mirror of Charley Dresden's impetuous nature, full of bitter repror.ches, dark innuendoes, hurling back her troth, and hinting gloomily at suicide! When I read it I scarcely wondered at poor Sophy's distress. "What does ho moan, Mr. Mortimore?'' asked Sophy, plaintively, "when he accuses me of deceiving him, or selling myself to the highest bidder? Oh, it's so dreadful!" "Are you to become the wife of Mr. Bullion, the banker?" I asked, stornly. "Oh, dear, no," said Sophy. "That's mamma!" "Eli?" gasped 1. "It's mamma," answered Sophy. "She's to be married next week. Didn't you know it?"

I stared straight before mo. Well, I had got myself into a pretty pickle by meddling officiously in affairs that didn't conccrn me. "Look here, Xiiss Adriance," said I "1 will tell you all about it."

So 1 did. 1 described old Bullion's letter, my owu fnlso deductions therefrom, and the rash deed I had committed in sending the tanker's ccrrcspon dence to Charley Dresden. 1 "And now," said f, "do you wonder that he is indignant?"

1

Hardened old bachelor though I was, I felt as if I could have fallen in lovo with her on the spot if I hadn't known so well tlint Charley had the first inning.

We rowed home together, or at least as far on our way home as the Thames would take us. Sophy sung little boat ballads. Charley roared out tenor barcarolles. I even essayed a German student song, which I learned at Heidelbitrg nobody knows how long ago, and we parted the best of friends.

Sophy's face grew radiant. "But there's no harm done," said she. "No real harm, 1 mean. Because I've written him a long letter all about mamma and Sir. Bullion, which he must have received almost the next mail after he sent olT his cruel, cruel sheet of reproaches. And pray, Mr. Mortimore, don't look so woebegone," she said, kindly. "Your mistake was natural enough."

Sophy was a true prophet. There was no "real harm" dono. The next mail brought a letter full of entreaties to be pardoned, and a brief, brusque note to me, which told me, not exactly in so many words, but in spirit, that I had a great deal better have niiuded my own business.
