tntr hli nether limbs under IJelmont's

niistocratlc feed that cauncd him to
almost forget the now rll-pen"atlon
which 111 tolerates any higher form of
wealth than soup house prospeilty and
empty dinner palls. He comes back
hilariously, exubeiantly optimistic. Ho

Is to be the rallying cry in the Pop
ullstlc AVest and South, and the labor

burning; story that capital has de
prived him of his share lti the pios
lKrity that has blesstd the land.
Hryan's closest friends here were con
fident that his New York visit would
be productive of just this result.
Hryan has not abandoned the silver
agitation by any means In this ar
rangement for It is practically elimin
ated for the present, they say, by the
Hepubllcan currency bill -which will
soon become a law. A revival of tho
silver question as n political issue Is
dependent wholly upon the Jepeal of
the enactment which this congres
will make. That is 'way In the future.
Too far ahead to make its contempla

SKNATOU PI.ATT'B CANDIDATE.
The leading- New York candidate for
the Hepubllcan vlce-piesldeiitlal nom
ination Is the pierent lieutenant gov
ernor of that state, Mr. Timothy D.
Woodiuff. In politics he Is known as
"l'latt's man," and If he li mentioned
ns "Plntt's candidate for vlce-prejl-dent"
it Is because New Yorkers of
his own political ulllliatlon speak of
him In that wav. It may not be t.
famlllnilty that suggests tnslgnlii
I'.im e. mi far as the candidate Is con
cerned, but It Is belittling to the office
to thus speak of the man who Is to
till It
Mr. Woodiuff will be 4C yeais old In
Auguut following the Philadelphia
convention. His forebears were,
among the oilglnal settler? In New
Hnglnnd and he wns born in Connecti
cut, near the birthplace of Charles
Kmoiy Smith, a,nd sK yeais later
than the postmaster-general. Wh"ii
n smill boy he was patted on the heaJ
by J-ilnenln nnd later In life was a
chum of Fiank Piatt's at Yilo. Hence
the subsequent political relations he
sustains towards tho eld"r Piatt.
A successful buMness man in a
quiet way, he nan made some money
In salt and patent medicine. He has
been something of a politic! in too.
Blaine trusted him. Thtough Hussell
Harilson, whom he met at the Chicago
convention in 18S8, he reached the el
der Harrison.
After the Hanison campaign he
dropped politics, and got up to his neck
In the social swim In Biooklyn and
New Yoik. The Iphetonga and the
Biooklyn Biding and Driving club were
the teal social attractions In Biook
ln. He Joined both. He got the best
turnouts, the finest horses, lilied Lily
Iangtiy's Kngllsh coachman, who was
acknowledged to be the finest of his
class, and soon Woodruff's winning of
pil7es at the annual shows became the
talk of the tow n.
Thing of this, he wanted to be tho
Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor in IV).". He again appealed to
his old college chum
Trank saw the "old man" about It
and sine enough "Tim" was nomi
nated, and though Governor Black
was tuined down, he was to-nominated
on the Roosevelt ticket last ear. With
his, panmamlc waistcoats he would b
a dazzling ornament In the vice-president's
chali "a thing of beauty, if not
a Joy foieei." But Mark Hanna sajs
the pib.e hotse-show winner and ownei
of Lily Langtiy's faiipeili coachman, Is
leally too young! And one who inns
up against the lough ends of Hanna's
hard, hoiso-sense seldom escapes with
out some Important and valuable in
formation. In this connection the man
behind the throne w.is asked for an
opinion about the nomlnationof Charles
Hmory Smith for the ilce-piesldeney.
"I am not talking just now on that
subject, my dear boy, for publication,"
he leplled, "but if you want my opin
ion of Smith as postmaster geneial and
of Smith as a man, 3,011 aie welcome
to it. They don't make 'em any bet
ter. Now, don't ask another thing. I
know what's coming. Don't, don't,
don't. T tell you, I can't talk about It."
"Well, just one moie question about
somebody else," queried The Ttibune
Rolls.
correspondent. "Is It true that Senator
Elklna la the president's candl ?"
"Walt, stop right there. X know what
the question Is," interrupted the blR
Ohio man, who elected McKlnley presi
dent. "I can't talk on that subject
now. Senator Klklns conies from a
doubtful but very small state. West
Virginia Is Just ns likely to go Demo
cuitlc ns Hepubllcan, without any re
gard to the vice-presidency. Senator
Klklns stands very close to the presi
dent." He Is a blg-biained, blg-bodled Ohio
mini, Ohio wantfi the whole earth, nnd
with the president and vice-nrcsident
both from Unit state It may ho ex
tiected that some modest, If not ob
scure, Uuckeyo will some day be ap
pointed Acultmldo's successor lu tho
Philippines.
However, It was not Senator Klklns'
fault that he was born In Ohio.
He was educated In Missouri, ub
seritiently removed to New Mexico,
made o big pile of money there, thence
moved to West Virginia nnd made a
still blKRor pile, and he Is now 11 rich
man. Ho was secretary of war under
Harrison, nnd in the last campaign he

the Cleveland politician had never
li earned of. His big. totind, led. Jolly

was Just a piece of luck that he was
boin In Ohio, nnd It he teully wants
the vice-presidential nomination It Is
because he believes that Ohio luck will
laud him in the White House In 1904.
Of course, the presidential nomination
In laol does not follow the vlee-pr"si-dentta!
nomination in 1000, but it is a
good thing a very good thing to
know that men of such eminent chai
acter and ability as Chalks Kmoiy
Smith and Stephen Kenton Klklns are
being discussed, and without their dis
approval, In connection with the vice
presidency. In this sign Republican
ism will not only win this vear, but
will perpetuate Its rule to the honor
and credit of Atneiican manhood,
American prestige, American progress.
President McKlnley only a day or
two ago was llfty-seven years old. He
Is the Junior of any man In public life
today who might possibly be named In
connection with the presidential nomi
nation in 1904. He has the moial sup
port and tho sympathy of the Ameri
can people, without regard to patty.
The conditions that once prevailed
against a thltd term incumbency In the
presidential office does not exist to
day, and may not lme the shadow of
existence In 1901.
The Amcikan people ought to thank
Ood that a soldier, a prudent, cautious,
patilotie, wise, godly mar. directs the
affairs of the nation. The tiend of cut
tent political agitation is ominous, and
It may be Just as necessary to main
tain the clean, honest, manly Ameri
can methods of the McKlnley adminis
tration in 1904 ns It is in 19C0.
COXGUKSSIONAL MATTERS.
It makes no matter what may be the
pending meahuie before either the
house or the senate, political debate
Is Inevitable. The Indian npptoprla
tlon bill, one would suppose, was sutil
dently a matter of toutlne to pieelude
any suggestion of a heated Klltli.al
discussion, but nothing is impossible
In the way of political achievement,
whatever the matter under considera
tion. A Southern Republican, and
Southern Republicans ate very scatce
in this congress, took advantage of the
Indian appropilatlon bill to say some
thing about Democratic election
methods In the Southern states. It Is
known of all men that the necro ote
In the Eou'h is either suppressed en
tltely or counted for the DomoMatlc
ticket. Hut It was an unwholesome
tiuth just at the time when such Ini
quitous methods have precipitated a
condition of war In the state of Ken
tucky. The southern Republican in
thi3 Instance barely escaped a personal
chastisement. Ho was coarsely de-
rounced and bitterly assailed. No heed
was paid to his argument, but the
ringer of scorn was leveled at him
and through clinched teeth and with
boisterous and belligerent gesticula
tion he was told that he was no better
than a "nigger."
Not knowing the ways of members
In debate and how little they regard
the most offensive accusations, one
would have looked for a personal en
counter after adjournment. Hut long
before that hour the two antagonists
were seen in the most companlo.ible
intercourse.
Such scenes Interest the spectator,
because the spectators geneially are
strangers and naturally attach some
significance to such disorder. The
hous-o committees are diligently at
work on the icgular approptlation
bills. They ate neailng completion and
it will not be many days before the
campaign for 1900 will be opened In
dead earnest. The shipping subsidy
bill Is practically completed.
It will go tluougli the house under
a bill limiting debate, but howevei
diastle the lestralnt, the oppoitunlty
will be piesonted for tlery campaign
ot.itoiy. However despicable he may
be, Senator Pettigtew by Insolence and
dogged pertinacity sometimes succeed-,
In atttactlng the notice of the senate.
'It Is the exception, not the uile. f-
ter days of nagging and whining he
succeeded esteulay In ptovuKing Sen
ator Hawlcy and Senator Sew til and
they each In tuin denounced him us a
"tt.iltoi" to his countt y and an enemy
to hH own ilag. Of couise, it didn't
phazo him. He was almost grateful
that somebody had at last noticed
him. The senate discussion alternates
between the euirency bill and the Phil
ippine question and tho older will be
obsotved until the passage of the eur
lency bill on the 3th of the present
month Vet j soon theteafter the Quay
case will be called up and a long dis
cussion is not expected. How the ase
stands in the matter of (onfldence in
the result Is Indicated lu the avowed
willingness of Mr. Quay for an Imme
diate vote and the positive refusal of
the opposition to agree to limit the de
bate. It Is generally believed that Mr.
Sibley knew what he was saying when
he so completly answered duffy's guff,
asserting with the greatest assurance
that 'Quay would be seated and would
have several votes to spare.

Recently a meting was held in tho

West End club, of Wllkes-Rane. A
league was foimed for Northeastern
Pennsylvania, and nil followeiH of the
stioir mav look In the future for some
Intei estlng contests.
The game between the Klks nnd the
West End c lub, a sluut time ngo, on the
alleys of the fotmer. was one of the
liveliest games ever pl.ived here, somu
magnificent bowling being done, es
pecially on the Elks side. The feat of
Edmund Haiti In making two scores
of over MO, was an utimual one, while
Smith, of Wllkes-n.it in, contributed
spice and excitement to the evening
by making five stilkes In sucreislon.
The Elks pioved that they certainly

of monetary success for the successful

THEATRICAL.
"Pudd'nhead Wilson."
Fiank Mayo's fine dramatization of
Mark Twain's quaint story, "Pudd'n
head Wilson," was seen at the Lyceum
last night by a large audience. It is a
play that does not lose its popularity,
and was followed last night with quite
as much inteiest as on its first pro
duction In this city.
Edwin Mayo, in the lole ereated by
his distinguished father, improves with
each succeeding appeal ance here. His
woik last night was faithful and artis
tic, and he had the assistance ot an
excellent company.
"Hunted Down" Tonight.
The Huntly-Jackson Stock company

The Big City Show,
One of the most popular nttiactlons
of the east is III Henry's Big City
Minstrel Aggregation of fifty white
performers, who appear at the Lyceum
this afternoon and evening.
This organization presents comedians
and specialties of the highest grade
selected from the Keith and other New
York vaudeville circuits. Their band is
a big one of thirty soloists and Is pro
nounced a wonder, tho equal of Sousa's,
and the finest traveling band 'ever or
ganized. Their singers embrace four
teen ot the finest voices on the minstrel
stage. Their eight comedians are all
stats, and their first part Is something
entirely new, a representation of the
deck of the famous battleship Brook
lyn, vv Ith the crew as rollicking Jackles.
This attraction Is highly spoken of by
the New York city, Boston and Phila
delphia papers, and will be one of the
strongest attractions ot the season.
A Complete Production.
A eaidliial point in the coming faie
well production of Lewis Morrison's
"Faust" Is Its magnificent scenic com
pleteness. Never In the history of this
famous play has it been presented
heie In ns perfectly uniform a manner
as now. From the time the curtain
rises upon the dark sepulchtal cell of
Dr. Faustus until It falls upon the
beautiful tableaux of the Apotheosis
It is a series of elaborate spectacular
transformations, ranging from eccles
iastical solemnity to diabolical wletd-
ness.
Special attention has been given to
the electtlcal and mechanical features.
The company Is of exceptional merit
and the musical features are especially
meritorious, it will be presented at

"A Sti anger In a Strange. Land," tho
play that has crowded the Manhattan
theater, Now Yoik, for many weeks,

The Very Best of Groceries
At the Very Least of Prices
The poet who wrote the little line about living with
out friends and books but not without cooks, struck the
keynote of this life. But he ought to have added that the
cooks couldn't live without groceries, and goo'd ones at
that.
In presenting our monthly list of eatables, you may

An amusing story Is told about tliu luto
General Wauchope as a soldier and a
politician. When in command of tho
Ulack Watch, tho famous Highland regi
ment, ho wns said to have attempted to
address the men after parade at Maryhlll
barracks, Glasgow. From tho demeanor
of the colonel, tho regiment uutlclputed
an eloquent address, but it is stuted that
the genlul Andrew only got the length of:
"Men of tho galtant Forty-second."
when his tongue teemtd to cleavo to the
roof of hN mouth.
Tlirke did he make the attempt, and
thrleo did ho fall to mnko progress, until,
exasperated with himself, lie suddenly
exLlulmed to the astonishment of the reg
iment; "Men of the gallant Torty-second,
right-about wheel!"
