May '3. •9°*
The latest story here now going
the rounds is to the effect that
the convention at St. Louis is to be
stampeded for Cover Clerelsi>d
and that the Parker bo:m was
started sitnply to shie'd the teal
purpose of the reorganizes ot the
democratic parly. This suggest!
t » some people here that it would
be a good idea now to interview
Mr, Cleveland anJ Mr. Hill and
others who have l»een prominent
in this reorganizer movement, and
ask tnem to come out and explain
their respective positions on the
question of bolting should Mr.
Hearst or some one else be nomi
nated who is not exactly suited to
them and their particular brand of
demo racy.
There is really more reason why
these men should explain their at
titude In this manner than should
Mr. Hesrst. There was no repson
to suspect Mr. Hearst as a bolter,
because he never has bolted a tick
et in his life. The only basis of
reasoning what a man will do in
the frture is by what he twsdone in
the past. Mr. Hearat has never
bolted in the past and he says he
will not in the future. All the men
prominent in the reorganizer move
ment have been bolters for the past
two presidential campaigns. Wil
they be bolters in this, in case they
do not control the convention and
nominate the man of their choice f
It is a pertiment question and it is
up to them to answer They should
be as (rank as Mr. Hearst and give
the democracy of the nation to un
derstand their attitude in this mos!
important question. The people
would like to hear trom them.

The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee has been or
ganized, with* the exception of tht
appointment of the Executive and
Finance Committees, and probab
ably will commence to get busy
within the next few days. The
democrats will enter this campaign
for the next House of Representa
tives with every encouragement in
the belief that they will be success
ful. Several things are working to
gether that make democrats more
hopeful of victory than they have
been since 189 a, In the first place
fie democrats have been singularly
fortunate in their choice of a chair
man of the committee this year. As
boon as it became known that the
Hon James M. Griggs, of Georgia,
chairman of the committee two
years ago and than whom tt.ere
never was a better one, would not
again serve his party on account ol
sickness in his family, the name ot
only one mau in the House was dis
cussed in connection with the posi
tion and that was the Hon.Williim
A Cowherd, of Mi souri. Mr. Cow
he.'d was elected unanimously and
a better choice could not have been
made. Mr. Cowherd is a young
man, foity-three years old,and hah
served in four successive Congress
es, the Fifty fifth, Fifty-sixth, Fifty
seventh and Fifty eighth. He is i>
modest man, but 0:1 the occasion
of his very first speech on the floor
of the House he was marked by
all the old timers as one of the
coming young men of the House.
His speeches are , not marked by
flights of flowery rhetoric, but they
abound in lucidity of expression,
■timple language, cogent reasoning,
an answerable aigument based
on the facts and stated so clearly
thatachild can understand them.
It is not his eloquence thst makes
him a remarkable figure on the
floor of the House, but his clear in
sight into things and the motives
of men and hia ability to explain
them. He is one of the best debat
ers in the House and many a re
publican opponent has gone away
limping when they crossed swords
with him in debate. He is a mem

ber of two of the moat important

Post Offices and Post Roads and the
District of Columbia. He is an in
defatigable worker and his spefech
in the Isst session on the frauda in
the Post Office Depsrtment was one
of the finest things 11 tened to dur
ing the session. It will be used aaa
rarpaign document. Mr Cowherd
is a splendid organizer. He organ
ized victory for himself in a district
that had been in the habit of going
republican and his majorities have
been growing larger ever since he
first came to Congress. Mr. Cow
herd, therefore, understands tbe
needs of a democratic candidate in
the Northern Districts an 3 his ad

be invaluable during the campaign.
Look out for Mr. Cowherd as one
of the coming young democrats of

WHY THE CARS STOPPED.
tloek Caused by Hostility of Motor
man te New Conductor,
The conductor and tho inotormun
on a trolley car do uot always get
■long well together. Sometime*
they aro bitter enemies, and their
animosity ia called to the attention
of passenger* in various ways, al
though a cross word may not MH
lMstween them during tho trip. W hen
tho starter at the barn ltnowa of
hard feeling* between two men he
docs not put them on the tame car,
but such thing* are kept from hi*
observation a* much as possible.
One day last week a trolley car
■topped at the busy corner of Twen
ty-third street and Broadway, going
downtown. The conductor wa» ev
idently a new man, and as the car
was crowded he was chiefly occu
pied in seeing that no fare escaped
liim. lie did not notice that the
car was at a standstill for fully
throe minute*. The |rasscngera no- 1
ticed it, though, and aa there wa*
nothing in the way they wondered
whut wns tho matter.
"do ahead with this carl" shout
ed one of the passenger* to the mo
torman.
The man never moved, but seem
ed intensely interested in a window
display. Meanwhilo cars behind were
Idling up and their motonnen mak
ng considerable noise. A polica
man interfered.
"Why don't you go aheadF* he
ahouted to the motorman.
"I will when that dub ring* the
bell." replied the motorman. * "I
don't start without a signal."
The new conductor'a face waa a
scarlet as he pulled the strap with a
jerk that threatened to break it
Ho knew the motorman was in tho
right, and he also knew that ha
was iu for it at the terminal, be
cause that hoatile motorman would
not make up one second of the three
minutes' lost time. New York

Qulxot'a Sang Frold.
How inuny people have owed their
lives to a cigar? M. Guiiot, the
great French historian, for instance,
owed his life to one. Followed about
one day by un ill looking individual,
M. Uuivot finally sat down on a
bench, and hi* unwelcome follower
seated himself there also, all the
time watching him with a threaten
ing air. The historian waa not
troubled. He pulled a cigar out of
his pocket and lighted it At that
action the strange man arose and
muttered that be bad been mistak
en, as the scoundrel he-meant lo
kill did not smoke. The historian
was considerably puzzled by this oc
currence until he loarned several
days afterward that a man answer
who had followed him had been ar-

Bedroom* ought to be bedroom
and nothing claw, says CaroliiM
Hunt in the Houm Beautiful. Bb
advocate* sleeping in garfet roonu
if then is no other place in th«
houM Then one can fit up « bed
room and a dreeing room separate
ly. The fl*>r of the bedroom should
be of hard wood or at least painted,
so that it can be wiped op with a
damp cloth and so that there noed
be no dust to get into the bedding
when it k*aiied every day in the
son, as it should be. Beds which
are light enough to be moved easily
and cleaned easily are naturally the
beat beds, for they may be moved
from one position into snoOier and
always be where they get tie moat
run in the daytime and the best air
at night. If the headboard is no
high#* than the footboard, as in
the iron single 1mh1», the position
of the bed in the room is very much
easier to determine, since it mat
eTen be pushed against the wall
sideways without appearing awk
ward.
Washstands and dressing tablet
should not be aolid to within a few
inches of tbe floor, but open so that
the floor may be easily cleaned.
And bedrooms should never be used
for dressing rooms at an afternoon
or evening gathering. To throw
oataide wraps upon the bed is to
make a nest for the microbes of the
street which are ever ready to de
vour.
Per Mending Ewrpssss.
Ail excellent cement for mending
almost anything may be made bv
mixing together litharge and glycer
in to the consistency of thick cream
or freah putty. The cement it use
ful in mending stone jara or any
coarse earthenware, (topping leak*
in seams of tinpans of wash boilers,
cracks and holes in iron kettles,
etc. It may also be used to fasten
on lamp tope or tighten loose nuts,
to secure loose bolts whose nuts are
loot, to tighten looec joints of wood
or iron or in many other ways
about the various kitchen utensils,
the range, the sink and in the pan
try fittings. In all cases the article
mended should not bo used till the
cement has hardened, which will re
quire from one day to a week, ac
cording to the quantity of cement
used. The cement will resist the
action of water, hot or cold, acids
and almost any degree of heat.

Salt on the fingers when cleaning

Salt in water is the best thing to

ward larger rooms and fewer of
them. The bathroom, which in
many of the older houses ia a small
room with just enough space to turn
ground in, is now built larger, since
it b to be used by all the member*
of the family, who often keep in it
their toilet articles. Downstair* ar
