While rome of the shouters in this boroush are for Quay In this present fight, the majority of thinking Repub licans are unquestionably In favor of sustaining Governor Hastings and the state administration. The Republican voters of Forest City In the main are intelligent, honest, honorable citizens. who do not propose to be sold in bulk to "Tommy". KHrow and Third-term Sam Wright, who trade with Quay upon the strength of their fealty to Re publican principles. They realize that back of all the Quay clamor Is a mean, vindictive purpose to humiliate the most popular chief executive the state ever had, 'and to foist Don Cameron once more on an unwilling common wealth. And they propose next Satur day to vote, to a man, for Frank Hol lenback and Lew Jones, In the First ward, and Dr. Beakeslee and Benjamin Maxey in the Second, because they know that these men will stand up for clean politics and fair play for every American citizen, regardless of boodle or bossism.

A good story Is told here about a Demo- cratf.c congressman who, In the fifty-first or Reed congress, hod a good deal to say. though he was not much encouraged by hla fellow members, and Is now for some unknown reason compelled to live In the retirement ef private station. Whea Tom Reed was carrying everything before him. counting quorums and silencing the fierc est of the opposition as If he liked that sort of amusement, this congressman be came very much excited. In the cloak room one day he addressed Crisp, Mills, McMillan and a lot of leaders on that side or tne nouse as follows: -"I'll tell you what we have to do. This thing must be stopped. We must organise an assault. Four or Ave of the strongest, ablest, most forcible and eloquent men on our aide must attack Reed one after another. And I am willing to be one of them myself." The same gentleman, who was endowed with the sort of conceit which gave him many hours of unclouded happiness, waa called upon at a dinner given In honor of the completion of the monument to the late Senator Shields to make a few re marks. He talked for a long time, the most striking feature of his discourse being the following: "It was a fortunate thing that I occupied a seat In the house. I was I who Introduced the bill making appropriation for this statue. When God in His infinite wisdom made me a member of congress He secured tho erection of this noble monument" Relief Is U Hoars.

In this country "eating crow" Is a prac tice confined to unsuccessful politicians, but It appears that In the guise of plover these blackbirds have been eagerly de voured by epicures in . Germany. The Boston Traveler learns that two months ago, plover being unusually scarce in the woods around Wittenberg, where each spring thousands of those delicious birds are snared for the gormets In the large cities, a speculative dealer lilt upon the plan of trying young crows As a substl. tute. It was found that crow whea young, Inexperienced and well-fed, is a dainty morsel, the flesh white and tender and of fine flavor. During the last weiks this dealer and others who followed in his wake had been supplying hotel and pri vate tables In Berlin and elsewhere with young crows under the name of plover and nobody found out the difference until somebody told the secret. CLEVERLY ANSWERED. Some curious replies to the questions of examiners find their way to the pension office. According to the Washington cor respondent of the Kansas City Times, an applicant who 'was asked "when and where and how he contracted senile de bility" the other day forwarded this anT davit: "1 cannot say precisely when and where and how I contracted senile de blllty. It haa come on gradually. 1 seemed free from it at my birth, yet If I had not been born so far back as I was then I wonld not be suffering from it so seriously as now. The . most eminent au thorities are agreed that old age Is of permanent character, and I begin to feel certain that my chances for becoming younger are exceedingly slim. In my case senile debility Is not due to vicious habits, yet I have a habit of getting older each day. I have been infirm from age ever since I began to grow old. .
