THK New York politicians are bosses per e. The ins are denounced for their dictatorial methods until they get in and then they out—Hen*! Tie rod.

SENATORTt'Ki'iB has furnishedthe newspapers a statement in one language thathe cannot accept the Democratic nomination for president. This is bis way of escaping obscurity and it may be said that he has the command of six other languages in which he can make the same statement and thus six times more br»ak into print,

The Fat Men's Club of Chicago wisely ha* taken precautionary action against the discussion of politics in the club. This is a year when two men who agree on most subjects and who are personally congenial fall out in discussing politics and each tells all his friends that he never before knew how narrow minded and bigoted the other is.

THE people of Indianapolis have been chafing under a Tammany management of their public schools aud last Saturday succeeded in electing enough members of the sol )ol board to overthrow the bosses. The clique which has been using the school

THK so-called war in Cuba was prosecuted this week just as if there was no St. Louis convention. A two days battle waged fiercely according to the dispatches and W men were reported killed. Perhaps this may not be true, but at least the AVejier press bureau continued to fight battles with unvarying Spanish victories, just as if the people in this country wanted to read and believe the reports although they had a national convention enlisting about all their thoughts.

FRANK CARI'KNTKH wrote that Indiana hatl the father of the convention in Colonel Thompson and the "boy" of the convention in Mr. Harry New. If the man who •controls the Indianapolis Journal is a "boy" we want to see a full grown man. He is young and "new" looking because he is blessed with a sunshinny temperament.

No doubt he believes it doesn't pay to worry nor to bring wrinkles by bearing ill (Will. May this forty-year-old boy continue to be clean shaven and never grow old.

Til latest phase of the quarreling at Fort Sheridan near Chicago where there have been several tragedies is an effort to force Colonel Croftou, the commandant, to retire. A surgeon has examined him and reported that he is eligible for retirement •but the colonel says he does not want to retire ami that the report was due to personal prejudice against, him. The trouble In the army, which more and more frequently is coming to public notice by reason (it' court martial trials, is idleness. It is a pity but it is a fact that the man who is hero on the field is apt to become a petty minded, bickering fellow in idleness.

TRIAL BY JURY.

The Supreme court of Illinois has just rendered a decision which would seem to be a blow at the jury system. It is in effect that the appellate courts of the state may find a different verdict from the evidence in all cases from that returned by the jury in the trial courts, reverse the verdict of any jury and enter a final and conclusive judgment in the case. Heretofore the appellate court went uo farther than to reverse the verdict of the jury and remand the case for a new trial in the trial court. The power thus given makes the appellate courts the supreme and final arbiter in such cases so far as concerns questions of fact. If a case be tried by a jury and the verdict of the jury finds a certain state of facts to have been proved by a preponderance of the evidence, the appellate court may, if It sees fit, upon examination of the same evidence as it appears upon the written records of the court, conclude that a different state of fact* was proved by this evidence, reverse the verdict of the jury and enter a final judgment in the case without giving the parties to the litigation an opportunity of again presenting their cause to a jury. This statute, In effect, takes away from the people the right to trial by a jury of their peers aud forces them to abide by the decision of a tribunal of judges who may be skilled in the law, but not necessarily in touch with the people.

There always has been a sentiment that trial by jury I* mow*or and perhaps this sentiment has been growing. The tUiuots'decision will have a tendency to give to it added strength. Trial by jury is supposed to friw«« P****1 Impartial judgment by a jury of his peers, as a protection from corrupt or prejudiced jw?r The Illinois statute Is an old one but it had never been U»t«d until awe carried up from Cook county, to which a verdict for damages against railroad company.

jury to answer special interrogatories in damage suits against corporations, is in line with the Illinois statute. The Weinstein damage suit was tried in Sullivan county under that law. The court submits to the jury questions as to the facts established in the trial and then asks if the facts are against the defendant what the damages should be. In Sullivan county the jury said 17,000 but the court under the law finally passes on the verdict and in this case held that the facts were not established according to the answers of the jury to the questions propounded to them, and therefore no damages could be awarded. If thl jury had been able to pass finally on the question of award of damages, no doubt the verdict would have been against the city. lf'%

WHEN IS A STORY A CHESTNUT? How long does it take for a good story to become a chestnut to all the people of the United States? In St. Louis this week a comedian in one of the vaudeville theaters has been a big attraction for visiting Republicans because he tells a story which while it was told in this part of the country in 1893, after the hard times set in and the Cleveland administration first began to be blamed for them, is fresh to nine-tenths of St. Louis guests. It is of the man who crawled into a hollow log which by a change in the atmosphere shrunk so that his body was wedged fast. The imprisoned man had about given up hope of release when in going over the events of his life as dying persons are said to do he recalled that he had voted for Cleveland and immediately shrunk so that he was able to crawl out of the log.

A newspaper which printed a dispatch about this incident of the St. Louis convention contained in the same issue the story of Chauncey Depew telling the English duchess the extravagant yarn in regard to the operations of the divorce laws in this country. Chauncey is alleged to have told the duchess that the Pennsylvania and New York Central roads stop trains at a city in Indiana one half hour for passengers to secure divorces and form new matrimonial contracts. The duchess is quoted as saying that "a system of government which permits such outrages is simply dreadful." That story is of the

but no doubt there are thousands who never heard it. This is a big country and the people are more widely separated than we .suppo.se.

THE ST.'LOUIS CONVENTION* Perhaps the most notable convention the Republican party has ever held was that at St. Lonis this week, resulting in the nomination of William McKinley, of Ohio, for president, and Garvett A. HobaTt. of New Jersey, for vice president. Tiae nomination of McKinley was practically unanimous, he receiving votes to 844' for Thomas B. Reed, 1% for M. S. Quay, 58 for Levi P. Morton, and S5}4 for Win. B. Allison. What rendered the convention notable wa» the retirement from the convention of the representatives of the silver states, wlso refused to abide by the judgment ot the convention in the adoption of the money platform. The platform on this question was an open a«d avowed declaration in favor of the gold standard, as follows:

The Republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879 since then every dollar has been as good as gold.

We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are. therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at parity with gold^ ann we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard—the standard of the most enlightened nations of the world.

When the convention decided to lay On the table the free silver substitute offered by Senator Teller, the latter madea speech before the convention in which he formally servered his connection with the Republican party, with which he has been connected prominently since its formation. His parting with the associates of many years was rather pathetic, but the sense of the convention was so firmly against free silver that his anuonucement was not received with the patience it should have commanded. All the representatives of the silver states did not retire, although those who remained protested against this plank in the platform.

The nomination of McKinley has been certain since the opening of the campaign for the nomination. The people were certainly with him in the contest, and whatever may be the result of the November election it is certain that he was nominated because the masses of the people desired it. Bosses are well enough in their way, but the result of this convention makes it sure that the bosses of any party are not able to defeat the will of the people.

Asa soldier and statesman McKinley has demonstrated his ability and his nomination on a platform in which protection and reciprocity are given prominence is morally certain to command the vote of his party. The result of the bolt of the silver states will be that certain states heretofore loyal to the Republican party will in the coming election be lost to that organisation. The demand for honest money on the part of the great mass of the voters of that party was so strong that states that have here* ~'ore given their electoral vote

this year all the believers In the isms land theories that are so prevalent, and it is a sure thing that there is going to be no walkover for that party, however bright the prospect may seem. The majority of those composing that party, however, have demanded the nomination of McKinley, they have demanded honest money and protection. If they cannot win, having secured what they ask for, they could not win with any other candidate or on any other platform.

t'igarottes for Women.

For the ten months of the fiscal year ending April 30, 1898, the total product of cigarettes for home consumption was 3,388,147,300, or an increase of ftl7,804,48© over the last fiscal year. And the woman bicycler is absurdly credited (or discredited) with this gain. A brilliant liar in a New York paper says that a firm making highgrade cigarettes is now turning: out more cigarettes specially adapted to the taste of women than of men and the number of special private brands, bearing, the name or crest and motto of the customers, is increasing daily. Some women bicyclists, he says, now hand out a cigarette bearing the name in place of a visiting card. Some of the private brands made for New York women cast $5 a hundred. «y

CHANSON D'AMOUR.

Twas a foolish little love song That she chanced to hear that day, As they strolled across the meadows

Fresh and fragrant with the Lay, Bat the girl with eyes like bluebells Sang it tenderly and sweet. To the rustic lover lying

Midst the grasses at her feet I Twas a foolish little love song,

And she listened with a smile. But that evening in the twilight, Saying goodby at the stile, When some one said he loved her.

Pleading earnestly and low— "Yes," she answered to his question, Though she meant to tell him "No." —Josephine H. Nicholls.

A SUMMER NIGHT. «0r

The hit summer sun was beating down on the long white streets and making the flowers on the balconies droop, and even the leaves of the lime trees hung listless and motionless in the great heat. Not a single soul was to be seen in the usually so crowded Andrassy street in Budapest, and tho old porter of the Hotel Esterhazy sat half asleep, hie ohair well drawn back into the shade. He knew very well that no one could disturb him- at that hour.

Esme St. Maur lay down on the sofa, lamenting that her fat» had made her spend this grilling afternoon in Budapest.

A few seconds later tall, sunburned man came into the room. "So sorry, Arthur," stehJ the lady. "I'm positively too tired to move. This heat Is killing 1 I'm so glad to see you!" she went on, looking at him. "Let me see, it is nearly three years since we saw eaoh other. What are you doing here?"

The man hesitated a moment and then became pale, and his mouth twitched. "I was hurrying to England Esme," he said, "because I heard a report about you that I could not credit—that you were going to bo married." "Well," said tho girl, nervously picking off the leaves of her rose, "it's qutto true. No, no, Arthur, it's no use," she continued, sitting up and putting her hand cn his arm. "Sit whoro you are and liitcn. You see, dear, it had to como to this some day, and I may as well tell you here as anywhere else. Wo cannot fight against fate, and the fates arc against us. Look I It would be ten years at least before'you could marry me, and then I should be a middle agod woman. And, even iM could wait, what am 1 to do during those' ten years? Grandmamma, you know," she wunt on, turning her face, now appalling in its pallor, toward him, "only left me £60 a year, and since her death I havo been living, yes, living on my sister's husband!: Think 1 The proud Esme St. Maur actually living on charity!" "But surely," Arthur broke in, "suno1]y"_

Of course they don't say so, but I know, I know. They have three children to educate, and look at tho position they have to keep up. I know Frank's income is by no means largo, and I feel I'vo no right to be a burden to them when I have a good offer."

Who is the manP" ho said dryly. Lord Hillborough," she answered, her fyes down. "A man almost old enough to be your grandfather!" he said, getting up and standing beside her. "Doyou care for him?" "No," she answerod, lowering her eyelids wearily. "No, but I respect him more than—than any ono but you." "Esme, "said Arthur hotly, "how different you are! How calculating and worldly you have become! I remember my little Esme holding forth fiercely that love was the one thing in all the world that to marry a man without love was the greatest wrong a woman could do him that"—* "Arthur," she said, "what can I do?

I intend if I marry Lord Hillborough to be a good wife to him. I cannot be that with another man's image in my hftart. .Imust live it down I must force myself to forget it."

Arthur walked away to the balcony "Do not make it harder forme, "said Esrae^ her voice full of sobs. "What am. I to do? I cannot do anything to earn my llvihg. Look at me," she said bitterly,, drawing hefrself up to her full height, "a perfect woman, strong aud healthy, with a smali fortune spent on my education, and yet now that I am thrown on my own resources—why, a shopgirl could make a. better living than I could. Bear it, doar," she said, going over to him. "You know this must be the end." "Dearest," he said in a broken voice,, "It is only the beginning. You love mo, and yet you marry this man. It is tho. beginning of wretchedness for you and him and mo for all our lives." "Arthur," she said slowly, "you know me. I have made up my mind, and I wilt carry it through. There is no other courso for me. I cannot do anything for myself,, and I will not live on charity." "You never really loved if you can sacrifice your love to your pride, if you oan let your head govern your heart." "I cannot help it, Arthur. I am engaged to Lord Hillborough and shall marry him in October. I cannot bear another scene like this. Bid me goodby and go now—forever," she added,, shivering slightly.

The man looked at her foras&ofid, and then took both her hands in his. "Yes, sweetheart, I will bid you goodby and leave you forever. But let me- come in and spend this last evening with you. It is not much to ask, and I promise not to 3peak one word you would not like. We will have our coffee on this balcony among the flowers, with the lights opposite, as in those dear old days, when we first met at Ostend. Say I may come, Esme, for auld lang syne—the last evening. I shall ever spend with you."

Three hoars afterward the 'Witchery of the summer night had fallen upon the city, l&me, sitting on her balcony, moved her fan slowly to and fro and let the mystic beauty of the night steep itself into her feelings. "On such a night as this," she thought, aa the old words of the immortal dramatist came Into her mind. "I wonder if such a night as this has played as weighty apart in any one's love story as in mine? And this is to lie the last. Ah," as the shiver ot remembranoe came over her, "how I shall hate the summer nights after this!" "All in the dark?" said a voice at Esrne's elbow, and Arthur sat down at the ether side of the tiny table, where the waiter was putUnsr down the coffee tray. "Why not, Arthur?" she said. "Who would be barbarian enough to have lights brought now? Look at that queen up thee!" pointing to the moon. The man opened his lips as though to speak, but shut tbera determinedly again. He looked across at her steadily. Heavtsns! What a magnificent woman she was, with Iter tawny hair that gleamed like burnished goM In the moonlight, ha great gray eye*

But there*, we tabooed feelings for tonight." "Did we? I only rememberpromisfng to say nothing to reproach you, and I shall oertainly koep my word. Indeed I will praise you. It was awfully good: of you to let me come and—and havo one evening like tliose in Ostend. Do you remember?"

I always thought of you oir a balcony in: a white dross, surrounded by flowers and looking—woll, as you look tonight. Lshall remember you always so.'1

Esme looked up in surprise^ There seemed a resignation In his tone which had not been tliore three hours before. 'Arthur, your exporienoe as a man of the world must tell you that in a fow years your feelings will calm down. You will come to London, and wo shall meet as friends,"

He looked across at her ouriously. "You speak to me as a man of the world. I know 1 am speaking to a woman of the world, not to the Esme of three years ago. But even from your calm standpoint of a woman of the world you aro wrong. I admit that a man's lovomight 'calm down,' as you say, even were it ns streng as mine, if he reached his goal, but the removal of the prizo beyond his reach makes him long for it more fiercely. Such at least is my case. You see, dearest, we feel so differently. I could never bear to. see you another man's wife,, and therefore I shall nover como near you again. You believe that my lovo will cool down. I know now that it never will, and I prefer to end it a', its height, not to see it die a slow death by the stages of affection, regard, indifference." "End it?" said Esme. "What do you mean?" "I mean that after tonight I shall never see you again,, according to your owJtr wish'"— "Arthur," she broke in, "you misunderstand me. I meant only until you could see me without—without loving ma" "That will lie never, dear," ho said, "and as I ana never to see yon again I am glad to have seen you. for the last time as I liked to see you best as I always pictured you In my heart."

You are getting sentimental," she said, with a forced laughed. Your ooffee will be cold."

Arthur took the eup and poured a few drops from a small- green bottle Into it. "Excuse me," he said. "I had a nasty touch of fever a few weeks ago and take my drops in my tea or coffee like an oJd woman." "Fever, Arthur?" She bent forward and looked at him. "Yes, you look haggard and 111.
