"To begin with." said he with Chesterfieldian politeness, which was only exceeded by his good looks, "who Is thhead of the house?" We were alone with him, and not a soul was around to hear. It was a moment of terrible temptation, a moment for which we had waited years and years and it seemed almost too good to be true. The time had arrived, the psychological instant as it were, to make good a dream of long standing. Yet we hesitated.

We know ribt why, but right at the crisis of our life we hesitated and stuttered and stammered like a bashful schoolgirl with a recitation. "Well," he repeated, "who is the head of the house?" We have always been truthful, and truth conquered again this time. With a strong sense of defeat and of an ambition unfulfilled, we stammered weakly: "Walt Just a moment, please: I will go upstairs and call her."

Cox or some other good carpenter either has or has not a keen sense of humor. That plank favors readjustments of schedules "based upon exact information and made without injury to American industry." This is followed by the apparently serious statement that "such information can be ascertained only by an impartial board or commission." And then comes a condemnation of the Democratic party for its failure to provide funds for the continuance of the Tariff Board.

Considering the admitted impossibility of ever finding out either through a Tariff Board or through any other human agency the difference between the cost of production in the United States and abroad, and considering the melancholy failure of Mr James B. Reynolds and his associates to discover much of value, and considering the fact that even such information as they were able to gather was suppressed if it seemed to controvert the high protection arguments considering all this, the tariff plank in the Republican platform reads like a sorry joke. for a month. An optimist is a feller who can carry a watermelon home two miles from the store, drop it and smash it on the sidewalk as he reaches his own gate and then go back after another. A love letter written on a typewriter sounds just about as sincere as a stage kiss.

There ain't no feller who can find as much fault with the editorial policy of a newspaper as the one who borrows it every day from his neighbor. During these times of great prosperity about the only class of people that kin bank on making both ends meet are the contortionists in the circus. Miss Amy Pringle says she sees that there is an organization being formed among the public men to do away with parties, but she says It will be pretty doggone dull around here in the Winter without any taffy pulls or progressive euchres.

"Not in clanging fights and desperate marches only is heroism to be looked for, but on every railway bridge and fireproof building that is going up today. On freight trains, on the decks of vessels, in cattle yards, oa lumber rafts, among the firemen and the policemen, the demand for courage is incessant, and the supply never fails." William James.

SHIRTS LAUNDERED IN THE REAR. THE STATE CAMPAIGN. UBLIC interest in politics will wane during the baseball excitement this week, but before every one is asking "What is the score?" it is worthy of record that the Democratic voters of Massachusetts appear fully satisfied with their prospects for success at the polls four weeks from Tuesday. The Democratic State ticket is a popular one in every particular. Gov Foss is confident of reelection, and is justified in that feeling by the excellent administration he has given the Commonwealth and by the strong hold he has upon voters in all the political parties.

The Democratic candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives are full of courage and confidence. They feel that this year large gains will be made in the Legislature by the Democratic forces. The Legislative contest is made more interesting by the fact that the next General Court will choose a United States Senator. The reasons for this confidence of the Democrats are simple. Although a larger total vote comes out in Massachusetts in Presidential years the Democrats have a goodly percentage of the new voters, especially in the cities.

Then, stronger than all other arguments, is the admitted fact that the Bull Moose or Republican Progressive party is well organized here, has sufficient funds for campaign purposes and presumably will give its own State ticket a handsome vote. A Bull Mooser who will not vote his whole ticket would naturally be regarded with disfavor by his associates. This ticket should draw heavily from the regular Republican organization, thereby assisting Democratic candidates throughout the State. It is possible that the Republican majorities of four years ago will fade away on election day to such a degree as to bewilder the political prophets. This will certainly be the case if the Bull Moose party shows even one-half of the strength now claimed for it in Massachusetts.

It doesn't even tell whether three typewriters and a pair of bellhops beat a straight.

How many Democrats and how many Republicans were In the Hou'se and in the Senate during that term? L. K. Smith. Munsonville, H. President Cleveland was not "well sup-ported" from a party point of view during bis last term of office.

During his second term from 1893 to 1897 the party representation was as follows: Fifty-third Congress, 1803-5, the House stood 220 Democrats and 126 Republicans, and the Senate 44 Democrats and 38 RepuWicars, but despite the majority in both branches of the Congress he was FIFTY years ago today the Army of the Ohio, commanded by Gen Don Carlos Buell. was making ready to light the battle of Perryville. which was to end the campaign known as Bragg's Invasion of Kentucky. The battle to be fought on the morrow was not to be a decisive one. Military critics hold that it might have been made so had Gen Buell properly handled his troops and maintained a closer supervision over the operations of the day.

It was an engagement the sequel of which was to prove the last in a chain of events -to wreck the career of Gen Buell. The early operations of the opposing armies in the Middle West have been narrated in this series. Gen Bragg, with about 30,000 men, had by superior strategy forced Gen Buell to retreat from Southern Tennessee to Northern Kentucky with his army of fully 50,000 effectives. Bragg had taken the offensive, marched into Kentucky and posted his army at Bardstown, threatening the safety of Louisville. Gen Buell reached Louisville Sept 25 and at once set to work to reorganize his army, and, with the aid of reinforcements, to take the field in an attempt to drive the Confederates from the State.

He had two Confederate Armies to contend with, Gen Bragg's and Gen E. Kirby Smith's. The latter general had marched into the Blue Grass region of lCntiickv frrtm Fast Tptiiipsbpp with handle (ban the situation the Civil, C. E. L.

Gen BiaKK went to Harrodsburg, 30 miles snutli, and equidistant east of Bardstown, and dered Polk to join him there with the. Army.

Harrodsburg was of strategic importance, for it commanded the direct approaches to 16 miles farther east, where the Confederates had gathered a large quantity of stores. Fpr the three days succeeding the evacuation of Frankfort and Bardstown the Confederates operated blindly. The multiplicity of Gen Buell's columns confused them as to his Intent. Gen Smith, who had retired with his army to Versailles, firmly believed that the real attack was to be on his army, and to support his theory pointed out the threatening attitude of Gen Sill's force, which advanced toward Frankfort, and Gen McCook's corps, which had pushed its cavalry eastward from Taylorsville toward Lawrenceburg, in front of Versailles. Gen Smith so persistently overestimated the strength of the Federals near Frankfort and Versailles that (Jen Bragg, at Harrodsburg, was finally convinced that Smith's army, and not hut own, was threatened.

War had to meet." If there had been sufficient wisdom among the statesmen after the war to grant to the negro gradual and conditional, instead of hasty and wholesale, enfranchisement, hi- disfranchisement, with all its attendant tragedies, would not have followed. Today there seems to be little disposition to blame the South for what statute methods it has taken to violate the spirit of the Constitution of the United States, and to disfranchise the negro. We allow the negro to vote in the North, but even here in Boston he has been effectively driven out of many skilled trades, and as for granting him social equality, there is of course no pretense of that. But the negro race will not stand still, nor will it be exterminated. With more and better education, with greater industrial and business privileges, especially in the South, where the negro has larger opportunity to work among and for his own people, his progress will be inevitable.

Human life should be prolonged, and it can be by higher education on matters of hygiene. The average expectation of life in the United States is only about 44 years. It should be much higher, and probably will be hereafter, for people are learning more and more concerning the prevention of disease. As" a matter of fact, the most valuable study in our schools is hygiene. If the young folks are taught the value of food and moderate exercise they will grow up strong and possess a knowledge of how to take care of their bodies.

There is too much ignorance among young and old concerning the proper care of the health. How few there are who know even how to eat; that is, to consume only those things which will agree with and upbuild the system and create a sufficient supply of vitality with which to ward off disease. A child with a large head and an emaciated body should be kept from difficult mental tasks and be put through a course of hygienic instruction and training that would conserve his energies. The sooner more attention is paid in all our institutions of learning to hygiene and kindred topics the better it will be for the students. None but the strong and healthy can enjoy life or engage successfully in its battles.

The court held Itself to be bound by the law, but it yet remains to be determined whether or not in the Supreme Court of the United States, or in the power delegated to the National House of Representatives in the supervision of the electoral vote, there is an entire absence of power to protect the voter in the exercise of his rights.

HEX Mr Cortelyou was made ington, but having an independent command he could not be counted on for effective cooperation. Gen Smith's cavalry forces raised his numbers to approximately 22,000 men. The total Federal force that could have been brought to bear against the Confederates was more than 100,000 men, the majority of them raw levies. There has been considerable controversy regarding the matter, but few statisticians have placed the figures at less than the 100,000 mark. There lias likewise been a question as to how-many men Gen Buell actually put in the held against the Confederates, but it was in the immediate proximity of 60,000 men.

Thomas Poorly Placed. Gen Buell advanced from Louisville against the Confederates on Oct 2. Ho had organized his army into three corps of three divisions each. The 1st corps was commanded by Maj Gen Alexander McD. McCook.

and consisted of the divisions of Brig Gens Lovell H. Rousseau, James S. Jackson and Joshua W. Sill; the 2d Corps, under Maj Gen 1 homas L. Crittenden, was made up of the divisions, of Brig Gens William S.

Smith, Horatio P. Van Cleve and Thomas J. Wood; the 3d Corps, under Maj Gen Charles C. Gilbert. made up of the divisions of Brig Gens Albin Schoepf, Robert B.

Mitchell and Philip H. Sheridan. Maj Gen George H. Thomas, who hod a few days before refused to supplant Buell In command of the Army, was "second In command" of the reorganized Army of the Ohio. As such he had no real power, being a mere figurehead, as was Gen II.

S. Grant under Gen Halleck at Corinth. Thomas "was simply given supervision of Gen Crittenden's corps" wrote one of his biographers, "which arrangement placed two major generals with one corps and a brigadier of unperfected appointment in command of another." Gen Gilbert, commanding the 3d Corps, in which was Thomas' own division under Schoepf, had assumed the title of major general, although only a brigadier bv Presidentlal appointment, which rank had not been confirmed bv Congress Gen Buell marched his army in four columns. One, under Gen Sill, composed of his own division and an unattached division of raw troops under Brig Gen Ebenezer Dumont, numbering in all about 14,000, headed directly for Frankfort to threaten Klrby Smith going by way of Shelbyville. The three army corps marched toward Bardstown, McCook going by way of Taylors-ville, Gilbert by way of Shepardsvllle and Crittenden by way of Mt Washington, midway between the two nines chairman of the Republican Federal Corps isolated.

On Oct 6, when the Confederate under Gen Polk, had retreated to Perryville, a small town 26 miles east of Bardstown and 10 miles south of Harrodsburg, the Federal advance, Gilbert! Corps, under Buell. was at SpringfieM, on the Perryville road, less than ij mils from that town. Gen Thomas, with Crittenden's Corps, was at Lebanon, eight miles south of Springtieid, and Gen McCook's Corps was near Bloom-field, about 15 miles north of Springfield. Gen Buell learned that Frankfort had been evacuated, and felt certain that the enemy would concentrate against him at or near Perryville. The Federals "had met with resistance all the way from Louisville," Gen Thomas te-tified after the campaign, "and the resistance became stronger and stronger each day.

At Bardstown there waf quite a skirmish, and there was also skirmish between Bardstown and Springfield as our troops advanced; and there being a very scant supply of water between Springfield and PeVrvville, and a good supply at Perryville, I think that all thought the enemy would take and hold possession of the water and giv us battle there." Accordingly, Gen McCook, at Bloom-field, was ordered to immediately advance to Perryville by a direct route. Thomas was ordered to proceed to the same place by- the Lebanon road and Buell was to advance directly upon the-town by the Springfield pike. Thus, on. the morning of Oct 7, 50 years ago today, three Federal corps, fully strong, ere put In motion against Gen Bragg's depleted army. Gen Buell, with Gilbert's Corps, arrived in front of the Confederate po-tion at Perryville late in the afternoon of the 7th.

The politicians were surprised to Bee a campaign manager chosen from a Washington bureau Mr Cortelyou was the head of the new Bureau of Corporations and he was SALUTING THE FLAG. A QUESTION not of International law, but of International comity and common, sense, appears to been raised by the Board of Education in a little New Jersey town.

One of the rules made by the board is that all public school pupils shall salute the American flag every morning and promise allegiance to it One of the boys in the High School happens to be the son of a former Canadian military officer, who of course had to swear allegiance to the British flag, and who has never been naturalized.

A good deacon and noted temperance advocate who ran for Congress in Massachusetts a few years ago had a campaign manager who, to say the least, was not a reformer.
