Ex-Minister Phelps of Vermont, in hie letter declaring for sound money. pays his respects with refreshine emphasis to those men who are endeavoring to make the con- test one of the poor aeainst the rich. He denounces the proceeding as nothing shor+ Po! < out in lucid style ntry the poor and the rick 1 in maintaining the pub- th and the safety of our institutions. Mr. Phelps uses effectively this figure: “As well might the steerage passengers in a vessel In midocean. weary of their privations. he incited by some mischief. maker to sentt'e the ship tn order to drewn the ates of the more Inxnrions cabins uneconsefons that ther themselves must he nally the victims of the common calam- ity Tn this one sentence Is contained a good deal of wisdom. The ficure employed loses nothing because it is familiar. It has never been more hapnily applied. We are all afloat In the Old Ship of State. Not all equally well provided for, let it be granted. There is the cabin, with comforts and con- veniences, and there ts the steerage, with its privations and inconventences. Not all can make the voyage in the cabin.

The part of for every man, whether below ever th Mr. remed not, be as decks or above, to contribute to the fullest | measure in his power toward remedying the evil in an intelligent and so as to insure the common safety. The cabi must consider the steerage, and the steer- age the cabin. It would be worse than folly for either to proceed upon the hypothesis that it is independent of the other. The man who we the complaints of as much the who would 1d counsel the cabin to ignore the steerage would be common enemy as the man incite the steerage, by false representations about the cabin, to under- take to make war upon the cabin, or, fail- ing in that, to sink the ship. We are all in the same boat, and, what- ever her defects, she is the best boat afloat. Let th t in mind, however much y differ about the course or about Ung her. Give the Reai Farmers a Chance. It does to the unbiased observer as sement could be made by friction between the Center Market management and the farm- oying and I ers who do bu: in tis vicinity could be materially lessened or perhaps entirely removed. Pr t condi tiens remely ; So much ne where it properiy belongs the unreeling of a lot of beginning at the day when the fir: ter who saw an opportunity to do business outside the Center Market disguised himself as a farmer and took up @ position in the line which was supposed to be composed exclusively of those who raised the truck which they had to seil.

But the Old Orchard speech was not merely a tisan endeavor; it was Fich tr patriotic fervor; it possessed breadth ‘end depth and that common-sense quality which should commend it to every man is not to long re} j you till now. who loves his country more than he does the political organization with which he happens for the time being to be associated. The need of the hour is confidence, and the pepular demand, go far as the presidency is concerned, is for the election of him whose triumph would be a restorer and creator of that which we now most require. There lave been many days of misery in Amer- icen history, but there have been also many long periods of national prosperity and happiness. There is no sound reason why Pessimism should ever become one of our national characteristics. The past is, in the main, a glorious record. The present is but a brief season of depression, soon to vanish. The future is abundantly rich in possibili- ties that stagger sober imagination. Mr. Reed’s Old Orchard speech is health-giving. 2 The Saratoga Political Game. Mr. Platt’s play at Saratoga 1s regarded as one of the shrewdest and most success- ful he has ever made. That he ever for a moment desired the gubernatorial nomina- tion of his party nobody believes. The whole object was to demonstrate his power and for effect on Mr. Hanna. That has been done. Mr. Hanna is aware now of what Mr. Platt’s strength is as compared with that of his opponents, and, it is thought, he will be governed accordingly THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1896—TEN PAGES!

I can’t understand why anybody so chilly and uncomfortable should be so much sought after.” A Sarcasm, Just as the superlatively neat man got within range, the man who was driving the sprinkling cart pulled the lever ard drenched him. The exciamation he gave ! caused the driver to stop his horses and look back. “Don't stop,” said the neat man. not angry. i'm just interested and aston- ished. That's all.” “I'm glad you're not losing your tempe: “No. You can’t learn without paying for it.” “I don’t quite see what branch of educa- tion this sprinkler has helped you along in.” “It may be rather obscure to you. 1 live on a street where the dust rises up like a fog every time a messenger boy comes along the street and whistles. We have to take it off the keys with @ shovel before we can play the piano at our house. I've seen these vehicles go up and down the street, but I never suspected till this min- ute that any one of ‘em had water in it.” Disbanded. “We had a right good start toward a wo- men’s suifrage organization,” she said re- gretfully. “We got as far as one debate, and then we had to disband.” “What was the debate about? The re- form of election methods?” “No. Miranda Higgins started to tell Mrs. Edgeby something about the best way to put up peaches. And Mrs, Edgeby said she'd been nousekeeping too long to leara anyth, from Miranda. Then the other Members began to take sides, and the up- shot ef it was that we forgot all about electing any oilicers or appointing a day for the next meeting.” Confusing. “Somebody to see you, sir,” said the office boy to the editor. “What kind of a man “I can’t say for sure.” “Where are your eyes? Haven't you any powers of observation sir, But I've guessed wrong so that I'm afraid to try any more. ‘Yimes are getting so now that you can’t tell by the way a man wears his hair whether he's a poet or a populist.” A Compliment. Her eyes do shine so wondrous bright, That e’en the stars show not their like; 1’ faith, she needs no lamp at night When forth she fares upon her bike.

The Washington Star is to be very highly ecmmended for the most excellent reports which it furnished of the international convention. Each issue was replete with illustrations, and during the week cuts of hundreds of the prominent Endeavors from all sections of the country were inserted in its columns. Literature committees could do nothing better than to secure files of this paper for the convention week for dis- tribution. We desire to thank The Star for the admirable manner in which the news pertaining to Wisconsin delegates was published. 25 Be ¢ Round Satin Damask Center Pieces. .49¢ Brown Linen Center Pieces. 49 White Duck Scarfs, 72 1, long, for.
