Tn the middle of the audience there nrose a red-headed farmer hov In shirt Hloeves wllh one suspender hohlliiB up his trousers. He peered hack into the darkness to the idaee from which the voice came. "Who tn hell nre you?" he asked. "I nni tho Honorahle Charles Jenkins, of Ohio," answered the voice. "Well, why don't you p() back to Ohio?" There was a wild yell of applause, and no further Interruption. The practice of Mopping the speaker to ask him a ciuestlnn was resorted to very frequently during the past cam paign. Hometlmes the questions are asked In Rood faith, hut more common ly the purpose Is to Interrupt the merit ing and emharrass the speak'f. It rarely succeeds. The man who lias tho floor has two preat advantages over his questioner. He has the last word and he has commonly a sympathetic audience. Late In October last, while the political feeling was very bitter and intense, I was speaking In the opera house of one of the laree cities of the' northwest, when a man in one of the front seats arose and commenced asking questions. I answered them apparently to the satisfaction of the audience, who cheered lustly at every retort. Hut this only spurred him on to renewed efforts until finally a cry "f'ut him out:" arose from many parts of the house. It Huenivil to me that the colloquy was quite as profltatde as a speech, and 1 asked the audience to let him ulone. I'.ut the chairman of the met-tlns was seized with a Bi'eat indignation and rushing to the footlights, shook his list at the interlocuter. swore at him, and ordered him to get out. The man at last said he was going, hut asked first to shake hands with the sjieaker. 1 in vited him to come forward and do so. not without apprehension that he would drug ine ov t the footlights, nnd the handshaking on my part was very brief. While it was going on. however, a policeman stole up behind him, seized hi in by the collar, and his de parture was more sudden than he intended. Business Men and Politics "IVnn," In rhiladilphia Hulletln. .Mr. ijtmy'H teniurks on business men and organized wealth In politics are attract ing much atloniiiin. They ure chiefly ao tai.le in coming from it parly lender who has heen more conspicuous than uuy other IP publican In employing the 'business nil, ii sis" of the country as u political lone. Ten vears ago it was the habit lo plead Willi Ihe business mull to tike an active part In politics ami not sit in Ins loui'.iimt-iooin ami allow the politi cians a monopoly of affairs. No man did ino. c, less I ban a decade ago, to cultivate these delightful sentiment than .Mr. l.mav. There Is a good deal of truth In what he now savs, but the style of it, es i , .'in II v coming from him, was somewhat aiuii-'hig. unity's observations on business in, a of millionaire in the seiuue were hai.llv lis amusing in considering thai final ";;I lo s!l he has had a principal I . it in keening at least one of IVnnsyl- aria's senatorial seals hi the custody uf Simon and 1 'on I'limeroii, each a million ain, and thai his last attempt on the ul In r seat before he took it unto himself was In the Interest of Oliver, the lion in i-'.iiale of riltsburg. h I1 II There is n good deal of exnggi -ration uv r Ibis cry of senatorial niilPonalies so t-ii- as we iry to make It appear that Ilu s nate is worse In this respect Ihau It has In-ill In ihe past. We have mini million I'll i s there simply because we have mure wealth and a seiiale uf ninety members. Ninety years ago the senate was smaller tli. in our select council, nud lh wealth of the whole I'liite'l States was about eikhteeii hundred million dollars, or less than 'the wealth of I'hiladclphhi ualay. Yet Ihe rich men of the country were as rami mils in Ihe senate In propoitio'i ta lli. if iminlieis ninl riches In general ns th 'V are today. This city alone had two millionaires there in the course nf a sin gle decade. There Is so much pliei howi ing nnd hypocritical lamentation over corruption and money In polities that 't Is seaiei lines refreshing to know tluu after ell o really are not worse 111 these things than those who have gune before us. Such r.maiks as .Mr. Ijuay ha Just Iliad" are always in eonipanleil with nil Imtneli-e minimi of Kitpertlelal comment tibu it dc gi neraey und lapses from the virtu" uf aniesiois. In Iriuh there has been no pi-ilod of American polities when tliev id not go through the same experience, h"ii rich men were nut assailed a prolll- linli'S and corrupters, wtien a man s con- iiiid or his principles, 11 ttiey count nut be accounted for with any tads that would discredit Mm. were explain 'd on the hypothesis that he had been "boaght up or was "buying" up others, and when scute one VMis nut on hand shicplag some thing about barricades and in 'n 111 blouses ciiln-r slylv or In honest zeal. Million aires, solid business men, corruption funds and the lest have all been the themes .of p.illiicinh j for getting at the popular ear lieloi-e .Mr. l,nia.v was born, and every time they treated the subject as !f they hud jiisi made n new and alarming discovery. Many a time, too, have they yelled "f'ut whip" when they have fallen off the wagon on which they had front seats or when some one else obtained special ac cess to the lockers. I, H I! On hack to the days when John Jay, a model of public purity, was hung in ef figy here for the negotiation of hi fa mous commercial treaty with Knghi'id or whi n a llgure of the patriot was carried in processior through the city hearing a scroll with the winds "Come up to my price and 1 w ill sell you my country." and committed to the flames In Kensington. That was the time when the land was allame with the cry of "llritish gold" ill Its control of Washington's administra tion and Ihe senate. Look. 1no, at the gigantli laud speculation:! of .Morris, the iiieii who were involved In them and Ihe execration which was visited on him as a plu'ocrat, nnd ' the gibes nn! sneers which fell upon lllughnm, his colleague, in the senate, whose riches cuitsed l'eter Markoe lo put him In the pillory us "Kapax." Itemember. also, the char s which Adams' secretary of state, Tim othy Pickering, hud to meet and how Du nne, In th j 'Aurora." caused the popular belie? that Dickering had purloined eight million dollars in political or ollielal Jobs. Jefferson came Info power on the issue of the "masses" against the "classes," and Hamilton's administration of the treas ury was R theme against his public honor liniil Ills weakness for Mrs. Reynolds was revealed. The New York World raised no howl a few years ago n'galnst Wana iiiaker. for example, more heinous than followed Morris for bringing the capiiol from New York to Philadelphia, for sup plying Federalists wllh funds and for pro beting his own Interests at the trets n ry. The whole newspaper und pamphlet literature of the day teems with these tilings. II I' H Stephen fllraril seldom participated di reelly in politics: but the negotiation of tin- loans which he und other financiers contracted with the Madison administra tion to carry on the war of IHI2 gave rise to almost precisely the same scumluls us those which attended I'leipont Morgan and his syndicate in their dealing with Cleveland and Carlisle. The "Hrtilsh gold" cry was long n potent one. lluche, in one of the political "Creeds" which it was ihe fashion of the time to circulate n lining Ihe people, must have convinced every man who avowed It that the coun try was hopclssly and corruptly enslaved by rich Federalists. There Is another of these creeds nltrlbiiteil to Oeneral John Darker, in which that doughty patriot lays It down as one of his solemn beliefs that Doss' campaign for governor of IVnnsyl vai ia was bolstered up with Hrltlsh pelf, and that, furthermore, a million Hrltlsh guineas were imported into this country at every annual election for the debauch ing uf the people. When Jefferson en forced the cc lc drilled embargo policy, and cut off all commercial Intercourse wl.h Kngland, there was luinl murmuring over the sordldness of the "business interest" ill avoiding it, and there were lleree men aces against every merchant who would not come to the support ot the Jefferson administration. II II H These examples at random might be re peated a hundred times the ninny scan dal of Ihe banks, of the war of 1M2, nnd of some of the curly tariffs but let lis pause a moment over the tremendous fight between Jackson nnd the United States Dank. . Proportionate to resources, nt litiimelal institution of interest in our tlm his fellow-directors nnd other allies, who has been known to use money in publics on u larger scale than Nicholas Ill'jdle and sought In vain to destroy Jackson.

Nick Middle, in the minds of the Democratic masses, was a synonym for a monster moneybuks reek ing wllh corruption. The country hus seen no such uproar on financial or busi ness Issue as when Jncksnn sent Samuel D. Ingham and William J. Dunne back to Philadelphia -bemuse they would not take the government deposits out of the bank, nnd Itnally found Roger M. Tuney ready to execute the order. The cry wns raised Iiy the Whigs that the "Kitchen Cab inet" was speculating with the money, or that It was to be used in milking Vun ltnren the successor of Jackson. From K! up to 1SI0 you will find clamor almost Incessant for or against banks, business men and corporations. And yet, by fur the richest mun In the country in 1K31 was Oirard, when he died, with seven nnd a half millions; the Income of all the cor porations was not eouiil to the revenue last year of the Pennsylvania railroad nnd JT.I.OOO would have bought the New York Herald, perhaps the most profitable of newspaper about lijtO. Uefore we arrive at the conclusion that money In politics Is a worse evil than it was sixty years ago, we must remember thnt If more of It Is used. It Is largely because of the stride In population; but I question whether any well-Informed man can prov that relit- THE GREAT HUXLEY. What Huxley, the Utent English Scientist, Considered the Best Start in Lite. The great English scientist. Huxley. ; said the best start ill life is a soui stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di gest food proiierly because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) and pepto Renlc products; the -most sensible remedy in all cases of Indigestion, is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply In a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stom uchs lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stom uch trouble except cancer of the stomach. They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these re sult only from wholesome food well digested. Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at rM cents full sized package.

It is a good thing to minimize money In poli tics und get boodlers on the run, hut don't let us whine and wall und paint our selves blacker than we deserve to be, or, ut least, not blacker than our forbears. QI'ITR A I.AItCE HM. One ul' the Largest, in Fact, Actor Crime Kver Saw. Frank Plxley, In Times-Herald. Comedian William II. Crane says that the greatest brass bnnd that this country ever knew was an organization in Otlumwa, la., many years ago. "I've heard i iii more and Sousa nnd all the rest," said Mr. Crane recently, "hut their bands couldn't be compared with that prairie aggregation for u moment. "In my theatrical snlnd days when I was much younger than I am now I was trying to pilot a company of thes pian bright lights throughout the west ern provinces. Kusiness wus bad and our treasury wus low. At Ottumwa the theater orchestra had some sort of grievance against the management and demanded pay In advance. The thea ter refused nnd our organization was not tlmiiicially In a position to discount the future for a single moment. So I sturted nut to find some sort of music, if possible, to tide us over, t finally succeeded In getting the Ottumwa brass bund to agree to play three se lections in front of the theater before the performance In return for free ad mission to the show. "The band showed up on time, car ried out Its part of the contract and went into the theater. I was on the door that night and by and by I was struck by the fact Hint the ottumwa brass bund must be one of the most remarkable musical organizations In the country. Kvery minute or two somebody would come up to the door with a brass horn under his arm. wuve it nt me nnd sail on into the theater without n word. After I had passed In fifty or sixty musicians in this wuy I began to grow a trllle suspicious and stopped an old granger who was carry ing in a big tuba. " 'F.xcitse me, sir," I remarked, 'but do you play In the band?' " 'Nope,' he answered. "What nre you doing with that horn, then?' I nsked. " 'I'm goln to go in on It, If I can,' he replied candidly. " 'Whose is It?' I Inquired. " 'Hlanied if I know,' he said. 'A feller outside there gave It to me and said I could get In with It. "I left the door and stepped Inside the theater Just in time to see one of the band boys drop another horn out of a window into the hands of some body In the crowd outside In the alley "As nearly as I can calculate the Ot tumwa brass band that night must have had more members than Oilmore or Sousa ever directed at one time."

From the New York Times. it Is seldom that a woman Is found who combines Intellect, charm of man ner and . womanlike fascination, but Miss Dodge (Uall Hamilton) seems to have been thus universally gifted. On one occasion, while she was spending the winter in Washington with Mrs. Dluinc, u striking instance of this was shown. Among the season's visitors to the capital was a western clergyman of more culture, reading and thought than know ledge of the world. He desired to make the most of his first holiday and first sight of the great city. He want ed to see all there was to be seen, to hear all there was to be heard, but most ot all did he desire to meet and have a word with Uall Hamilton in deed, he contided to a friend that he would consider such a privilege well worth his Journey to the east, did that Journey bring hjm 'nothing elsei. It took him several days to summon up his courage, but at lust he boldly pre sented himself at the lilames' door and asked for Mliss "Hamilton." About three hours later the friend met him descending the steps fo the house, one broad smile of delight and satisfaction. Ah, exclaimed the confidant, "I congratulate you. So you have met your eleur Uall llaliinton. 1 cun see it in your face." That face fell crew remorseful. "N-no," he stammered. "1 didn't meet her she didn't come down, and, the fact Is, I forgot to ask for her." "Forgot to nsk her!" "oh, I sent lip mv card, of course. but a lady came down, n Miss Dodge, and. my dear fellow, you never saw such a woman In your life! 1 suppose wiai .miss Hamilton must have been out; she didn't mention her, but she began to talk to me. and in two min utes I forgot what I hud gone for. I never could have believed that any per son, man or woman, could know so miicn. i believe we talked on every subject In the world, and she knew everything about every one of the sub jects. 1 wus never so surprised as wnen a lot or people came In and I found how long I hud been there, and I didii t want to come nwav one bit then, I can tell you. and. till you spoke. in forgotten all about Miss Hamilton. I don't believe she can touch Miss Dodge, any how!" His astonishment and delight when he fun ml thut he had entertained (or been entertained by his angel una wares, were, very pleasant to see. In telling the story the narrator add ed: "1 don't know what It Is about Miss Dodge, I can never tell how she does it. 1 heard her tell the funniest story I ever heard in my life, about a drive she took in the country, when her horse had on a harness that prac tically fell to pieces. There was a room full of people and every one laughed himself sore over It, and yet when 1 came to think It over, there was really nothing to it. nothing to tell It was u thing thut might have happened to any one. and not have borne talking about. Yet she had entertained twenty people tor iinir an evening with it. only last week a lady who was there asked me If 1 remembered that excru ciatingly funny story that Miss Dodge told about the harness, and at this late date we laughed over It until tlje tears were In our eyes." "I had sore hands for a long time and suffered a great deal. I saw an advertisement of Hood's Sursaparlllu and began taking It. My hands soon began to get better und I have not hud any trouble with them since." Mrs. Kva Muore, ,'lu4B K. St., Philadelphia, Pa. Hood's Pills are purely vegetable. 25c. MT.
