The Louisville Courier-Journal an nounces that "the democrats must pre pare to fight the labor vote." The labor vote can not cosistently be given to any principle or purpose which the democrat ic party now advocates or ever did ad vocate; and it looks as if it would be the democrats only alternative to fight the labor vote.

IIknhy Wattkiison, writing to the Louisvill, K-., (Juurivr-Jouru l, from New York, where he lias spent a week studying tho political situation, talks with characteristic plainness. Tiif fol lowing id an extract from his letter: If the leaders of the democratic party had possessed the wisdom and the cour age honestly to meet the issues which have given vitality to this labor move ment we should not now be menaced by it. but should have it for an ally. It should never lrtvc ceased to be an asso ciate. The timidity and selfishness which have characterized democratic leadership in tho east are responsible for its disaffection, and, at the same time, for a delav of ten years in popular edu cation. There is now, however, no help for it. The democratic party must light its battle next year with the labor vote cast in the scale against it. To do that with any show of success it must put it self right in the coming session of con gress with tho true interests of labor, whether the laborer sees it or not. It must boldly proclaim the truth. It must boldly stigmatize and expose falsehood and fraud. It must yield nothing and fear nothing. The issue is low taxes against high taxes; cheap living against free whiskey; manhood against monopoly. Nor can we begin too soon, haying delayed already too long. We must show by our acts as well as our words what is the truth that we are the workiiigman's only hope, his only friend, his shield and buckler, with brains to know his wants and symyathv to be impressed by them, and no foolish terror at being called hard names for his and for our own sakes. Unless the democratic party be a party of the people, bound and sworn to save the people s country from the money devil, it is a mere bundle of factions, good only for an occasiona bonfire.

A tde.-issnt. nnhorisni of a German DOft that a w ise age reverences the dreams of its youth, appears to frighten parents trom setting up a rule in their own houses. The chi'dren are consultcded as to what they l;ke, which is well enough; with the important limitation that a large part of the divinely appointed business of their fathers and mothers is to teach them what they ought to like. It is reckoned despotic to ceerce nature, as if we did not bring into the world our nature, a great deal of which, unless somebody does ceerce it, ruins us. Earlier and earlier the reins are tossed on the neck of juven'le inclinations, till that period of beautiful and blessed subjection which Saxon homes once knew as boyhood and girlhood is eaten away by a premature md offensive self-assertion, and instead of boys and girls, we have only little j men and little women.

His Ufo passed peacefully away at noon on Sunday. Snn natonna held two important and lucrative posts. He was an Otoo chief and a po liceman. His mercenary friends dressed him three times for the grave, thinking, no doubt, that this would hasten his de mise. When the agency people learned this they had him brought in from camp, dismissed his covetous friends, and coaxed him b'ick to life again; but his fate seemed sealed from the first, and the white flag waves over ono more grave on the hillside, and one less is there to receive rations. Suunatonna was a clean, tasteful In dian. He had a pleasant face and a smilo for every one. The clerk had given him a pair of alligator slippers in exchange for a pair of moccasins. Sunnatonna's wife had made him a dressing gown out of curtain calico; and what with these signs of civilization, and his cleanly habits and genial disposition, Sunnatonna was be loved by more than the wife whom he left to mourn for him, and he will be missed by others than his immediate kinsfolk. Around Sunnatonna's deathbed stood his wife and some near and distant rela tives. When it was known that he was dead his wife mourned quietly but sin cerely. Sho took the scissors and clipped a piece of her long black hair and placed it under her husband's head. Then she gashed her face with the scissors. The other women were loud in their lamenta tions, especially one, who seemed frantic. The reporter learned later that thel one who mourns the loudest receives a gift of something. However, his wifo seems sin cere m her grief. She is beside his grave early in the morning and late m the even ing, bbe wanders through the agency like one bewildered. Her simple belief points to a meeting in the Indians' happy hunting grounds. Otoe Agency Cor. New lork bun. One of Mrs. Lang try's Admirers. One day t youth of great frankness and good humor was introduced to Mrs. Lang try. He looked into the cool depths of her clear gray eyes for a moment, and then said: "You had a tremendous effect on me the first time I saw you, Mrs. Langtry." "Did I?" said the Lily, musically. "Overwhelming. I was strolling down town on a very clear and snappy Novem ber day two years ago, ruminating on the chance of the stock market, when I glanced up suddenly and met your eyes. They .were looking directly into mine. You wore a green velvet gown and your cheeks were red from the brisk breeze. I halted involuntarily and gazed a thousand miles into j our eyes, and then pulled my self together, and made an awkward apology for my rudeness. I didn't know anything during the next ten minutes, but when I came to, I was about half a mile beyond, and thrashing ahead In a 5tyle that would have dismayed an ex press train. I was almost on a run, and I swept people aside as though they wero so much chaff" he stopped half breath lessly, and then added: "I'm rushing ahead rather fast now, eh?" "Riiwtber " Kfiid tbo T.ilv jimnciprTIv. "Well, my object in telling you abouf it is to apologize for staring at you so hard." ; "I remember the Incident very well," aid Mrs. Langtry, "and it doesn't re quire an apolouv at alL Women adore such affronts as that." She kept smiling at the man as she talked with such an air of thorough good nature and good fellowship, that she re duced him in a twinkling to the same ex traordinary condition that had character ized him when La made the run after he had looked a thousand miles into her eyes that November day. Blakely Hall in The Argonaut. On tli Afghanistan Frontier. The modus operandi of manipulating the kalian likewise comes in for a slight modification here. The ordinary Persian method before handing the water pipe to another, is to lift off the top while taking the last pull and thus empty the water chamber of smoke. The Tabbasites ac complish the same end by raising the top and blowing down the stem. This mighty difference In the manner of clearing the water chamber of a hubble-bubble will no doubt impress the minds of intellectual Occidentals as a remarkably important and valuable piece . of information. Not less interesting and remarkable will like wise seem the fact that the flour frescoed proprietors of these queer little Tabbas grist mills are nothing less than the bound ary mark between that portion of the water pipe smoking world which blows the remaining smoke out and that portion which inhales it. The Afghan, the Indian and the CLinaxnan adopt the former me thod; the Turk, the Persian and the Arab the latter. Thomas Stevens in Outing. PLAYING MESSENGER BOY. IIow a You riff.

I have been trying to calculate how much each of tho legitimate sufferers of the Opera Comiquo fire should get from tho various relief funds which have been started. Tha task has proved too hard for even approxi mative accuracy, but I take it every victim will bo ablo to buy a cottage and a cow, and at least tho indispensable threo acres. There will be enough left after that to keep tho male victims in cigars for life, and to present each female sufferer with a pair of diamond earrings. I should explain, however, that this rough estimate makes no allowance for the cost of "administration." I dare say half of it nnry bo swallowed up in "ex penses." Poor victims! They will bavo to do without the cigars and the diamonds. Really, ono cannot help indulging in sav age jokes of this kind if one watches tho comedy that is be ing played bore. This charity? Well of a kind it may bo. But it is both the cheapest and the dearest kind in vented, and it will be strange indeed if it "covers a multitude of sins." Too -often tho fetes and balls are pro-texts for puffery, vehicles for vanity. Actors and actresses, journalists and generals, duchesses and demi mondaincs, have all been beating tho drum on tho back of charity. Tho newspapers have opened subscription lists to show tho public how much moro support they have than their rivals. A duchess organizes a theatrical performam-o because the moment is favorable for introducing the unknown works of her literary proteges. Miss Sky lark, the singer who was hooted c-IT the stage so cruelly, gets up a matinee. "Why?"' "She wishes to wrap her appeal for the par don of tho public in a COO louis note." The military feto at the Opera degenerates into an excuse for shouting "Vive Coulanger!'' If I wished I could go on explaining away this "charity" for half an hour. Paris Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Is It "Ncetber" or "itber?" The pronunciation of the word "neither" is very generally considered to bo a matter cf taste. Most dictionaries give both pronun ciations, but good speakers invariably givo tho long e sound, although the long i sound is generally supposed to have no more serious objection than being tomewhat affected, and is a pronunciation often adopted by clergy men, especially Episcopalians. It is how ever, incorrect, a3 its origin will show. It is well known that the Gorman pronunciation of e is long, as "das feind," tho enemy, while the English rulo ii to pronounce tho diph thong as long e, as "receive." Tho lon;r o sound was invariably given in "neither" until tho reign of George I of England. Being of the Louse of Hanover, and speaking English indifferently, Le gave the Gorman pronunciation to tho diphthong. Court para sites thought it proper to ape the king and this pronunciation spread. Few people know this origin, and hence the general mistake. Heine Journal. Hebrew Capital In New Torre. On all New York commercial exchanges the Hebrews aro seen among tho most in fluential members. In banking their capital is set down at $100,000,000. Tho clothing trade is almost entirely in their hands. From Canal street to Union square, of tho 1,200 Broadway firms over 1,000 bear Hebrew names, ana tno aajoimng siao streets are filled with their places. On a Jewish holiday that part of tho city seems deserted. Mas Weil is the richest Jew m the city, his figure being estimated at 3,000,000. Following him are forty other millionaires of tho same race. I he Hebrew capirai in tue uotton ex change is over 80,000,0; 0, and of city real es tate they hold at least ? 100,000,000. An esti mate of the annual transactions of tho whole- salo trado of New York done by Hebrews put3 tho figures at $202,000,000. It is a strange fact that there are comparatively few Jews in Brooklyn. New York Star. Working a Commission r. Tho state dairy commission is in a pickle. Commissioner Ives some timo ago made the statement that no cow's milk, under the legal test, would go above 5 per cent. After thi3 ho went to the Farmers' institute, at Farm ington, and while there was presented with a 6amplo of milk that under test went 11 per cent. The eyes of the commission and tha grangers bulged out at this and will remain so until they read this and learn that the sam ple was carefully extracted from sheep owned by Carl Judson. Commisgioner Ives will un derstand the miracle then. St. Paul Pioneer Press.
