Democratic candidates for the presidency are neither numerous nor perrasive, says the New York Tribune. The worshippers of Mr. Cleveland con- tinue to represent that nobody else can Bave his party, but there are men who would like to save it if thejT could. Secretary Carlisle might be persuaded, though it is questiona ble whether he could command eithei the delegation or the electoral vote of Kentucky. Secretary Olney has a chattel inortgage on some delega tions from New England if he wants them, but it is to him extremely doubtful whether he wants any dele gation whatever. It has occurred to him more than once that a distinctly un-American administration is not calculated to lift a secretary of state toward glory. Mr. Whitney, whose honorable service as secretar3T of the navy should not be forgotten, would probably prefer not to have that ser vice remembeied too obtrusively this year, and Mr. Morrison of Illi nois, who has lost himself in his re lations with the railroads, might per naps be as strong as any other can didate of his party if he had not teen conspicuous j-ears ago in fram ing a tariff bill. The Democratic history has beon one of negatives. It has threatened and more or less tried to tear dowu many things. It denounced, but was not able to stop, specie redemp tion of legal tender notes. It has been reviling every step taken tow ard honest money, a sound currency, a safe and uniform banking system ; but the -higher powers have merci fully saved the nation from even a touch of Democratic destructiveness in that regard. It has continually threatened to tear down the protec tive tariff, Tiut, coming into power in all branches of the government, was not able to muster enough sincerity or definiteness of purpose to get that done either, though in the effort much was torn down and a great deal of damage was done. -The tearing.dowii statesman does not fill a large place in the public mind. -Indeed,' everybody kaows that he has only a torch for destroy ing, but no hammer for building. and must therefore be not the sort of and Wives. man a progressive nation needs. The difficulty with the Democratic party is that for more than thirty years it has cultivated that kind of statesmen, and no other and the practical results are obvious. The National Liberal Federation has confidence in Lord Rosebery But not all the former Liberal party has confidence in the National Lib' eral Federation. It is ominous that only forty members of the house of commons were present at the meet ing, at which the vote of confidence was passed, including not a single member of the late cabinet, beside Lord Rosebery himself. Via lie Borrow ThlsT Hartman of Montana in the house the other day,- incidentally reviewed the populist platform. He knew, he said, that it had thirteen different ways of restoring prosperity to the country, and he understood that it was about to add three additional planks. One was to encourage the propagation of honey bees by crossing them with lightning bugs, bo that ' the bees could work at night; another , was to cross centipedes with the genus hog, so that every hog would have a hundred hams, and the third was a project ot grafting strawber ries on miiKweea, in order to . raise strawberries and cream.

Go Vv witli Those of Their distresses, It onpears. from an article in the Fieraro by M. Taul Metrnin, thatin Lonr don at the present time ifcis not only the fashion for a lady to provide her lap dog' with a little wardrob and even a. handkerchief, but to have visiting-, cams made for it, too. When a fashionable lady jiays a visit, taking her lapdogwith her, 6he sends up the dog s card along with her own. M. Megnin says he was visiting,the editor of one of the leading sporting pa pers in Xiondon, . when the. servant brought in two cards, one that of a lady and the other as follows: - : JtRS. frivolitt. : : CoUIe. . : Asked if he knew the name on the card, M. Megnin said he presumed it was some dog- fancier. He was greatly surprised to see a lady come in, accom panied by a handsome collie. .'" ; " M. Megnin went to a stationer's shop and ordered 100 cards for his little dog. He was again surprised to iind that the stationer had some ready printed, neat ly packed in pretty little card cases. BEN FRANKLIN'S BIG HEAD. ' How He Wore His Wig In Ills Pocket at . the French Courts" A, . The difficulties encountered recently by the lineal descendants of that great man, statesman, patriot and everything else that men properly hold ia estima tion Benjamin Franklin in having themselves enrolled among the Colonial Dames, recall an anecdote of him, says the Washington Post, embalmed in the family records of the sage of Mon ticello, but which, so faros the writer knows, has never been published. When about to present, himself for the first time at the court of .Versailles he was informed by. the master of ceremonies that a wig was a sine qua non. Now,' his head was so large that no ordinary wig would begin to fit it, and the situ ation was embarrassing in the extreme. However, one was found sufficiently large, to pass him through the ante chambers, after which he was permit ted to remove the ridiculous conven tional appendage and. place it in his ample pocket, whence it,never again emerged to public gaze. - Cox and His Brownies. Palmer Cox says the idea of writing about the brownies came to him from reading Scotch traditions concerning these amusing little elves. : They were, he says, almost -unknown in America until he began writing about them, but in Scotland they had existed in the folk lore for 500 years. The Scotch brownie, according to Mr. Cox, was a beneficient sort of sprite, whose only three emotions were joy, wonder and terror. It was supposed they were never seen by human beings, but went about at night performing helpful deed? for the country folk, at the same time g-etting a deal of fun themselves out of kindly pranks. , . .. , "Give me a liver regulator and I can regulate the world," said a genius.
