The "popular" idea in the ques tion of the choice of public officials seems to be attending among the people. A few years ago it began to be prominently suggested in the matter of the choice of United States senators, and now it is be ginning to assert itself in the ques tion of the elecion of presidents. When it really extends itself to ' underrates the general intelligen.ee these office-holders, if it ever does. to which he is appealing. Perhaps and they are chosen by the direct in his own Missouri very fanciful vote of the people, as governors notions may be found on the sub aud members of the house of rep- ject about which he proposes to resentatives are now, we ehall hear legislate. But the chances are that of it perhaps in connection with he will find it very difficult to make members of the cabinet. Of course, ! the oeonle of this country believe an amendment to the constitution would have to be brought about before the latter change could be affected, as the cabinet officers, as such, are not directly recognized in that instrument. But tne difficulty would not be miich greater in this case than in the others, tor an al teration in the constitution would be necessary before senators and presicents could be chosen on the proposed plan. However, diffi culties encourage rather than deter this class of reformers. The advo cates of a chailire ill the methods of ...:it viiuwcui atuatuia win jvci-J 1 11:111 on in their endeavors, and they will i :ii probably succeed some time, but that time will not be this year, and is not likely to come within half a I J H dozen years. lust now the "popular" notion is showing considerable vitality in many localities. There is a strong desire to bring the senate and the president "nearer the people." The impression is felt that somehow or other the change would secure an abler or better class of officials and the people would have greater free dom of choice. Wealth, under the proposed conditions, would count for less than it does now and merit would have a greater chance of being recognized. The fact would remain, However, that presidents would have to be nominated in the usual way, and the scope of choice would be restricted to two candi dates, the regular republican and the regular democratic, as now. Wealth has never had the slightest inlluence in a presidential nomi nating convention. Wasnington was the only really rich man who ever went to the presidency, and his money did not get him that office. Moreover, the popular-vote plan would expose the choice of presi- aent to drawbacks and lrauds un known under the present system The result would not be definitely known until the popular vote in nearly all the states was fully counted, and this would be a week or two after the election, while there would be a powerful tempta tion on the part of the machine in each state to swell the vote of its party by unjust means and to hold back the figures until the result in other states was revealed. Nor, so far as regards senators, is there much chance of real improvement in the proposed change. It would be fully as easy to bribe a nomi nating convention as a legislature. Moreover, governors, who are nomi nated in conventions, are, n the whole, below rather than above the senators in ability, efficiency and worth. Globe-Democrat. A TAX I S A TAX. "Democrat "The tariff is a tax." Republican "Of course it is." Democrat (surprised) "I thought you fellows say it isn't." Republican "Oh, no; we don't." Democrat "But I say you do. You are always arguing that it is no tax." Republican "That's where 3-011 are off. It is a tax, but a tax on the efforts of every man in your party to show wherein it is not the salva tion of American industries, and )ott have never been able to pay the tax vet. Seer" A CALIFORNIA VIEW OF BLAND No matter what may be the future o the metal, the owner of silver, if Nr. Bland is to have his way, is to keep on prospering. If it should go down to 30d the ounce, or to 50 cents on the dollar, the lucky speculator is to get 1CJ cents' worth of anything he wants for it The farmer is to gve him ICO cents' worth of wheat for his 50 cents. The clothier is to sell him cloth worth 100 cents a yard for his 50 cents. The mechanic and laborer 'are to be content with half their i former wages. There is no prob lability that this bill will be passed lit is not certain that a majority can ' be found for it in the democratic house, mere is no reason to sup pose that, if it is passed in the house, it will be accepted by the senate or meet with any favor at the hands of the president. Mr. Bland, in what he now pro poses to ao, ib simply going through the motions of financier ing. He is merely holding up to public view a silverine paradise, which he no doubt considers must be very taking. But he probably that their happiness and prosper ity can be promoted by endowing the silver speculators with a large share of their substance. Bland shows the very sublimity of his faith or of something else, by launching his unique experiment once more, at the very time when silverhas fallen to a point lower than it has ever reached since it .'began to be used as money.

No healthy person need fear any dangerous consequences from an attack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the same as a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quiet ly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a se vere cold and a prompt and com plete recovery is sure to follow, J.I113 remedy also counteracts any tendency ot la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics 01 tne past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F.

Jones, publisher of the leader, Plexica lexas. -in the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for the first attnek. The second attack, I am ratsfied, would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as 1 had to go to bed in about six hours after being struck with it, while in the first case I was able to atiend to business about two days before getting down. 59 cent bot tles for sale by F.

For iti daiiee, wlmii his father corrected him :iie other lav Master Tommy said. b twcn his solis: "Von didn't whip mu ; iie last time I waded in the gutter." "That was the first time," said his father. "Weil, then, how was 1 to know how you'd whip me this time, then?" asked the little fellow, re proachfully. This made my friend do a little funking. As tho product of this men tal JSJSfctf he -recently showed me his son, as busy as a bee, copying from one small brown-bound book into an other. Ilis was the usual agonizing position adopt eil by all youngsters when laboriously scribbling. He looked up as I entered the room and a big spot of ink on the end of his stubby little nose gave him an odd expres sion. "Hello," he said, "Say, I am go ing to have a constitution it's a jim dandy and it says when I'm going to get whipped and when pop's going to give me 5 cents." In response to my puzzled look the small boy's father explained that he had written out a set of rules for the government of his high-spirited though as yet low-stat-ured son. The rules were being im pressed upon the young hopeful's mind by making him copy them for his own use. "It's a sort of revised family paraphrase of the constitution of the country," said the boy's father. The preamble was very literal in its paraphrasing. It read: "We, the members of the Blank family, in order to establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, promote the family wel fare and secure the blessings of disci pline to Tommy Blank, Jr., do ordain and establish this constitution." There were articles upon the subjects of tidi ness, lessons, politeness, music, play, duties, punishments and rewards. The idea is at least original. Will it be beneficial, however, to try and make a spirited boy grow up by rule? Mr. Blank and lit charming wile thins that it will. It should be mentioned that Master Thomas is their lirst and only child. This explains all. The Barroom Spotter. "Hold on!" "What for?" "You have. haven't paid your check." "I Who are you, and what do you mean advise by interfering with me?" "I you to pay the checK that 1 saw you slip into your pocket when you had your drink. It'll uve trpuble. After additional heated'argument the party of the second part pretends to remem ber that he hasn't settled up, goes to the cashier, does so, and departs, look ing daggers at the man who stopped him. The latter is an innovation in the big down-town saloons. The pro prietors have found him to be a neces sity, and every week he saves the house about ten times the amount of. his salary. In some of the big cock tail foundries within a stone's- throw of tbe city hall there is a continual crowd, and the opportunities for skip ping out without the formality of pay ing one's check are numerous. This act has been cultivated to such a de gree by the impecunious ones of late that nearly all the drink bazaars have employed men whose duty it is to lay low for this class of customer. Their employment has revealed the fact that, in addition to the regular beats, there are a number of rich merchants who are not above dodging their bar dues. A".. Y. Coramtrcial Advertiser. They Were Sisters. The willful generosity of a pretty and richly clad child, the timid joyful ness of a pretty child in rags and the gentle kindness of the richly clad child's mother furnished a touching incident on 5th avenue near 57th street one afternoon last week. Both children were girls. The ragged little girl went into ecstasies at the sight of a costly doll which the other child was carry ing. "Oh, mamma, see that bootiful dolly! that bootifnl, bootiful dolly! she cried tugging at the skirts of the haggard and thinly clad woman at her side. ' ' - The pretty child of fortune heard the eager cry of delight and- instantly her little heart swelled with gener osity. "Here; little girl," she said, "you may have this dolly; I have got another one at home." And she pressed the beautiful toy into the arms of the poverty mite. The poor woman utter ed a feeble protest and the rich mamma was about to interfere to recover the doll when the little aristocrat ex claimed: "Now, mamma, you give the little girl's mamma something and then we each will have done a good deed." The eyes of the rich woman and the eyes of the poor woman met and the rich woman's sympathies were touched. In another instant a compact green roll was thrust into the poor woman's hand with the 2-entle reouest, "Please accept this for the children's sake." A. 1. 1 inies. Pledging His Father's Name. The Egyptians had a very remarka ble ordinance to prevent persons from borrowing imprudently. An Egyptian was not permitted to borrow without giving to his creditors in pledge the body of his father. It was deemed both an impiety and an infamy not to redeem so sacred a pledge. A person who died without discharging that duty was deprived of the oustomary honors paid to the .dead.
