New York Sun ( dcm )
The speech of the Hon. Bourke Cock-
ran at the dinner of the Chamber ot
Commerce on Tuesday evening expressed
In eloquent language the tone nnd tem
per of the democrats of whom he Is so
distinguished a representative. They are the
democrats who supported Mr. McKlnlcy at
the last election as the only means of resist
ing the malign forces which had obtained
control of the democratic organization , and
which still continues to hold It.
As Mr. Cockran said , those "forces of dis
order arc still In the field , being marshaled
by their defeated leader for n new afaault
upon credit and Industry : " and hence , asked
the speaker , how "can wo afford to disband
the forces of order , " which overcame them
In the late campaign ?
Now that the election Is over , and the
danger averted for the time being , there re
main , accordingly , as Mr. Cockran remarked
on Tuesday evening , only two organized
political forcet ; the forces of disorder In
control of the democratic organization , and
the forces of order held together by the re
publican organization , from which came
their main strength lu the late canvass. That
'a the fact , and thcro Is no use trj Ing to es
cape from It. Dry a n I sm has control of the
democratic organization. It represents the
only democratic policy with reference to
queatlons actually In practical politics ,
which Is capable of definition and formula
tion As yet there has been no formulation
of distinctively oppinlng democratic doctrine ,
tnd there Is not ta sight the prospect of
such a crjstalllzatlon. The tariff we have
now Is democratic , but It Is aao ! thoroughly
protective In principle , and , therefore , har
monious with republican doctrine and pur
poses on the subject. The Cleveland admin
Istratlon opposes sllvcrlsm , with Its utterly
Impracticable and wholly rotten scheme for
the retirement of the greenbacks by a vast
increase In the bonded debt. The mere
statement of It Is enough to Indicate Its
sure condemnation by every party with a
shadow of political substance. It can never
become a serloua Issue of politics , and was
only contrived as a means of diverting at
tention from the disastrous failure of the
present administration.
Hence , there Is at present no real question
of principle or of policy which stands in the
way of the continued combination of the
forces of order In behalf of which Mr. Cock-
ran made his eloquent exhortation. To use
his words. "Can we afford the luxury of
political divisions as to the administration
of the government when the existence of
the government is Imperiled ? Can wo af
ford to quarrel about > stems of laws while
the moral law Itself remains In dispute In
American politics ? "
The only difference between the repub
licans and the honest democrats concerns ,
moreover , a mere matter of detail as to the
application of a common policy , the policy
of protection. Without the assistance of
the Issue of protection the great bulk of the
republican party could not have been held
together , Mr. McKlnley elected nnd the
catastrophe of Urjan's success prevented.
Mr. McKlnley cannot go back on the pro
tection principles of which he has been so
long the foremost exponent without dis
graceful self-stultification and without
treachery to the great majority of voters
who made possible the victory of the forces
of order. These principles , however , can be
carried out In legislation without offending
against any actual democratic policy , for
the present democratic tariff being Itself
essentially protective a reasonable under
standing as to precise schedules Is entirely
possible , and It Is obligatory. There Is no
vital economic difference between the two ;
nothing essential for them to fight over.
That being the case , the prospect of a set
tlement of the tralff question which will fur
ther cement the union Mr. Cockran dcema
so Cfincntlal to the safety of the republic
ought to bo assured.

PIERRE , S. D. , Nov. 22.-Spcelal.-In ( )
the coso of C. Livingston against School Dis
trict No. 7 , Ilrooklngs county , which was
decided by the supreme com I last week , the
question at Issue Is the validity of a bond
totted by the district. Under Authority of
a special act of thc legislature of the terri
tory In 1879 , the school district was author
ized to l 6ito bonds In a sum not to exceed
$2,000 , and that in the Issue ot such bonds
they should not bo of a greater amount
than $500 not1 of a leaner amount than $50.
The dUtrtet contracted for the construction
of n school building , and In payment for the
erection of the sa me Issued a * bond for
$1,400. In the opinion written by Justice
Hancy the holding of the court Is In sub
stance :
No question of fact li Involved ; nothing
but a mere question of law. What construc
tion Mhnll be given the statute ? The. bond
iloeH not comply therewith. Is the pro-
vlilon In respect to denomination n llml-
tntlon upon the power conferred or merely
a direction us to the mantiur of Its exer
cise. Assuming $1 , < 00 was required to pay
for defendant's cehool hourcnnd us nl-
loRed In the complaint , such house i > vas fur
nished by the original pnyecti. by whom the
bond wns taken without discount. It maybe
bo suggested that the district could not
tie nffected by the fact tmit payment was
made with a single bond ot JI.400 , when
there should havt- been two of KCO e.ich
and one of $100. Doubtless in this particu
lar Instance the materiality of the differ
ence Is not apparent , but the wisdom of the
requirement does not concern tills court.
There nre occasions In which the denomina
tion of municipal securities Is a matter of
vital Importance , a matter peculiarly within
the legislative discretion. Should the court
'disregard the plain provisions of thl spe
cial statute nnd substitute Its own notions
of public policy for those ndopted by the
legislature , a way would be open for the
annulment of nil restrictions upon the exer
cise of municipal po.vers.
Defendant's olHcerH nnd the original
pnyce.s of the bond sued upon cither wan
tonly , or through Inexcusable carelessness ,
disregarded an express provision of lai.v ,
plaintiffs purchased tlto bond with notice
of such conduct on their part and cannot
complain If compelled to suffer the cense
quences. The district was clothed with
power to Issue bonds of n certain mid
clearly defined description ; It was not nuth-
orled to ISEUO bonds of uny other descrip
tion. There was want of power to Issue
such a bond tis the one sued upon ; there
fore , the bond is void.

The old settlers around Cedar Lake , At
lantic county , N. J. . arc still tnlklng about
a remarkable poker game that was pl.t > cd
there awny back In the ' 40s , the principal
features of which were a scries of strange
deals nnd an enormous jackpot.
As the neighborhood chroniclers tell It ,
relates a correspondent of the Globe-Demo
crat , It happened this way : In 1845 the pine
forests around Cedar Lake were hunting
grounds for sportsmen from Now York and
Philadelphia , Deer were plentiful In those
dajs and every fall and winter Isaac Hebron -
ron , who Kept n tavern on the Egg Harbor
turnpike , In the heart of the pines , did a
land office business.
When the sportsmen were not ranging the
woods In search of game they put In their
time telling stories and playing cards In
the big reception room ot the tavern , and
It Is recorded that enough money changed
hands under the roof of the Hobrou tavern ,
before fire wiped It out of existence , to buy
every Inch of land In Atlantic county at
$10 nn ncrc.
William Traverse , George Whltcomb , Har
vey Duncan and Richard Potter , prosperous
merchants from Wilmington , Del. , placed
the stillest game that was put up at the
tavern. They came to the pines regularly
every fall and stayed two weeks , during
which time any man who happened to be
around the premises could get Into a real
swift game of poker If ho toll disposed any
tlmo that the Wilmington quartet happened
to be around.
One afternoon the four men got around
a table nnd started a game. They rarely
played together , and when they did their
playing was watched with a good deal of
Interest by other guests , because a pot with
$4,000 or $5,000 In It was n common thing.
The four men on this particular afternoon
pla > ed a listless game for a couple of hours ,
occasionally stowing away within them
selves ono of Hobron'a famous applejack
toddles. Finally the toddles livened the men
up and more ginger was put Into the game.
Hut force It as they dU , It "was Impossible
for one man to get much the best of an
other , and at the end of three hours' pla > -
Ing they found that each had pretty nearly
his original capital
At last Traverse dealt and ho was "given"
an opportunity to make a jackpot , which
ho did. The ante was $1 , arid every time
the "widow" was fattened meant $3 to
the man who could win the pot.
Traverse passed the cards to Whltcomb ,
who quickly dealt them. Nobody caught
"openers" and the pack went to Potter , who
failed to do any better than Whltcomb had ,
and the cards went to Duncan , who said
as ho picked them up and1 prepared to deal :
"I'll give you ell openers , boys , so that
you can get a little fun f9r your money. "
Hut ho dHn't. The best hand out was
held by Traverse , and that was ace high
Ten times the cards weretdealt and nobody
caught an opening pair. > In the center of
the table was a pllo of banknotes that made
the spectators' eyca water.
"I never saw anything like this before. "
said Potter , "since I began to play cards
These cards have been ; dealt forty-four
times and nobody has got as high as a pair
of Jacks. It beats the d 1. "
Some sort of witchery appeared to have
gotten Into the cards. Forty-four more
times were they dealt ana not a man caught
openers. f
The game began about 4 o'clock Jn the
afternoon and It was now about 11 o'clock
at night. The pllo of money on the table
grow gradually and the crond around the
plajera became more deeply Interested.
The pla > crs worked till 12 o'clock , and
yet the jackpot had not been opened.
"I move that wo adjourn for ono hour , "
said Potter ; "perhaps If we get away from
the table a little while our luck'll change. "
The men agreed to take a rest for an
hour. Tbo money In the pot was taken In
charge by Hebron and the crowd was treated
to steaming toddles In rapid succession by
the four players.
"I never saw cards run that way before
In my life , " said Traverse. "I think the
devil's In 'cm , nnd he may stay there for a
month. I'd bo just as well pleased to let
each man take his money out of the pot
and stop the game. "
"Not much ! " said Potter ; "If the devil's
really In the cards , I'm going to etay with
'em till ho comes out. That jackpot's
worth hnvlnr now , and I'm going to try to
get It. "
Whltcomb and Duncan took the came
view of It that Potter did , and It was
agreed that at 1 o'clock the game should be
resumed , and It was
The cards were dealt until 4 o'clock In
the morning , and nobody had been able to
open the j&ck pot , which had now grown
to splendid proportions.
The crowd surrounding the plajcrs became -
came excited over the strange tun ot the
cards , and they began to wager among
themselves that certain deals would bring
"openars" to some 0110 of the players At
last name of the men became so boisterous
through their Interest In the game and the
oxhllaratlo : , of Hebron's toddles that It was
decided to lay the game over until the
afternoon , when It would bo continued from
the point vvtere It was dropped.
The- cards had been dealt 238 times , and
no man had held as high as a pair of jacks.
The jackpot now han some thing like $1,100
in It , and each man vvrs anxious to win It.
The plajcrs went to bed , hunted In the
forenoon , and at 4 o'clock In the afternoon
sat down to finish the game. The story ot
the peculiar run of the carda had spread
throughout the neighborhood , and when the
four men eat down to the table the big
loom was crcwded.vvtth men , many of whom
had driven a dozen miles to witness the
playing.
A new pack of cards was demanded by
Traverse. "If the devil's In that pack wo
had last night , " said he , "vvo'il ECO how
quick ho can shift. "
Ills satanlc majesty appeared to be equal
to the test ho was put to , for deal after
deal was iL'ade , and not a man was strong
enough to open the , pot.
Supper was brought to the players , and
they ate from the card table. After It
was over playing was resumed , but with
no change In the run of the'cards. '
Finally , Potter suggested that Hebron be
permltted'tb cut the pack. Ho did , but It
made no difference. Then .different men
were called upon to "allC9" the pack , but
that brought no change.
At 1 o'clock Whttcomb rqmurkcd that ho
feared the devil had started out to break
them nil , and then take/ / the jackpot him
self. The dealing continued till 4 o'clock
with no "openers" out , and then another
twelve-hour adjournment of the game was
taken , and there was then lu tbo jackpot
nearly $2,500. r i.
The crowd was wild. Tbofmen who had
it
lost money on the deals were bewailing
their hard luck , nnd the men who I jd won
their money were jubilant over their suc
cess. Hut the one man who wni supremely
happy , no matter whether the men won or
lost , was Isaac Hebron , because his toddles
sold under any and all circumstances at 15
cents each.
The game opened In the nfternoon .it the
appointed hour , with the crowd on hand ,
nnd the cards were not Inclined to change
the style of rumilnR that they had ndopted
two days before. The low cards wcro paired ,
but nobody wns able to catch two "picture
cards" of the same denomination ,
For eleven hours the cards were dealt ,
and nobody had been able to open the Jack
pot. The pot had Increased In value more
than $ SOO.
Finally , Traverse broiiRht his fist down
on the table with a thump , nnd said :
"Hoys , let's send a nigger to May's Land
ing for a pack of cards. I reckon that'll
change our luck , "
The proposition was favored , and a negro
wns dispatched on horseback for the cnrds.
It was n long nnd tedious journey In these
da > s , nnd It was several hours before the
negro returned. When ho did the men sat
down and opened the game once more. Tra
verse ehufllcd the cards , nnd Hebron cut
them. They were dealt , nnd no "openers"
fell. Unch player wrinkled his brow , drew
a long breath , and flung his cards Into the
middle of the table.
"Fatten the wldder , " said Potter , and the
dollars went up to the pile. It was Potter's
deal. "Where's the nigger that got these
carda ? " he asked.
"Hyar , eah , " called out the man from the
crowd.
"Como over here , " commanded Potter
The negro came to where Potter sat.
"Kha these cards , " said he , "nnd I'll give
jou a dollar. "
Without hesitation the negro kissed the
cards , took his dollar and retired
"That means openers for somebody , " re
marked Potter , as ho threw the cards
around.
"I II open It for $1,000 , " calmly remarked
Duncan.
Everybody whistled.
"It's worth staying for , " said Whltcomb.
"Glvo mo five cards. "
nvcrjbody took five cards excepting Dun
can , who drew two , and then bet $1,600
that the pot was his. Traverse and Whlt
comb dropped out. Potter raised Duncan's
bet $2,000 and was promptly suspected of
bluffing.
Duncan saw the $2,000 and raised It the
i-ool sum of $5,000.
"I call jou , ' eald Potter.
"Three kings , " said Duncan ,
"Four deuces , " eald Potter. "That was
a pretty good five-card draw , and I'mi going
to give that nigger $50 for kissing the cards , "
and he did.

They were two old friends , and they
hadn't seen each other for a long tline , so
they stopped In the midst of a crowded aisle
In a State street store the other day for a
nice , comfortable talk , relates the Chicago
Tribune.
"I hear that your cousin Emmellno has
married badly , " eald the tall woman ,
"M well , I don't know , " returned the
short one. "Emmellne says she's satisfied
with him. "
"Hut ho's never made her a living. She
has to keep boarders and work herself ncarl )
to death , I hear. "
"Yes. that's so. Hut she says her hus
band Is a very remarkable man. "
"Well , if that's the case , I'm glad I've
married a man that Isn't remarkable. Tor
my part. I llko to have the necessities of
life provided for me , and oven to be able to
afford a few bargains ouco In a while. Dut
what dors she think so remarkable about
him ? Is he so good looking ? "
"Well. no. All his own mother ever said
about that ho's an only san was that John
has a kind , expressive face. Still , Hmmcllne
always sticks to It that ho's remarkable. "
"Humph ! " said the tall woman. "I suppose
pose- , then , bo's one of these weather
prophets seems to me a man that can tell
> ou whether or not He going to rain the
day after tomorrow Is hardly ever fit for
anything else. "
"Never heard anything of the kind about
him , " said the short woman ; "he doesn't
make political speeches , either , and he Isn't
worthless enough to play the fiddle or write
poetry about the baby. "
"Then I don't sec how nmmcllue can say
that he Is remarkable. "
"Nor do I ; but she sticks to It , and the
only reason for It she ever gave me , when
I've pressed her close , Is that she never In
her life knew such a man to find things In
a bureau drawer. Say , there's an awful lot
of women at that counter over yonder ; let's
go over and see what they're looking at. "

a / Mistress and Maid
both have their part in the great
savings that come from Pearline.
Suppose you're ' the mistress.
There's the economy of it the
saving of time , etc. , and the
actual money that's saved by
doing away with that steady
wear and tear on everything
washed. Suppose you're ' the maid. There's the saving of
labor ; the absence of rubbing ; the hardest part of the house
work made easier and pleasanter.
But suppose you are mistress and maid , both in one , doing
your own work. Then there is certainly twice as much reason
why you should do every bit of your washing and cleaning
with Pearline. w

lugly been much confusion In the minds
of amusement lovers during the past week
as to the Identity of this attraction , many
confusing It with the "Hob Roj" presented
during the past week by K local organiza
tion for the commendable purposes of
charity. Such , however , will be convinced
ot their crier on eeclng the name of the
management , whom all familiar v\lth things ,

Its so pronounced success. The companj
which will be heard In "Hob Hoy" this

nently successful during the original New
York run.
The story of danger , love and devotion
nt an army outpost hat ) many charms for
the admirer of the romantic phase In theat
