Many are the schemes for making money out of the vanity of man and womankind. County histories with ugly cheap cuts of any one who will pay for them, together with their homes and belon'gings get up tremendous subscrip­ tion lists and pay the publishers well, although there may be little or no his­ tory about them, and as "gold bricks" mysteriously found on secluded farms excite the cupidity of the owner and draw his cash for the benefit of some sharper, so the desire for fame is used for the purpose of extracting money from gulli­ ble people who think it can be bought for cash. As the ofllspoken declamation of school boys has it, "The crumbling tombstone and the gorgeous mausoleum all bear witness of the instinctive desire of man to be remembered by future gen­ erations." It might now read in these days of cartoons and print, that the volumes of local histories all bear witness, etc. A number of New England folk have lately Bought to purchase fame and im­ mortality for fl5. A smooth tongued agent appeared and proposed to get up a local family history of this or that neighborhood. After the victims had forgotten about it they are called on to take the book and then remembered that a fellow had come along, made some inquiry into their private affairs, got them to sign a contract and they must pay. They would find such a notice as the following, according to an exchange: "Mr. Jehosophat Jones is an old and respected resident of Woodchuck Cor­ ners. He has represented his town as poundkeeper for several years and by close attention to business has accumu­ lated a snug competence. Mr. Jones i9s the son of the late Jeremiah Jones of Woodchuck corners. It didn't seem to be fifteen dollars' worth of fame, especially as every one else in the neighborhood, who had sub­ scribed, had the same kind of notice. There was an evenness about it, a dead level of fame that did not seem to be conspicuous. But Jehosophat had signed and he must pay. And in that neighborhood they have come to the conclusion that fame is a bauble and comes high. But then, people who have given a life time of endeavor to win it generally come to the same conclusion and after all, the New England farmers got off very cheap in satisfying their de­ sire to be remembered by the future generations.

The Reposition of Cleveland was preceded by the bitterest and most vicious f \j fights that ever took place in the House »f Representatives, not excepting the p ^ , -great fights in which the opponents were sk'l/. °t different parties, and was participated $/' *0, either personally or by confidential proxy' ̂ Cleveland, who was repreeent- 1^,; ed hy a host of followers, including two !^. of his old cabinet--Vilas and Dickinson; V by Hill, who was specially represented by the Tammany crowd which shouted early c and late for Crisp, and by Gorman, who personally pulled the Crisp wires from # the first. Now the attepjpt is made by certain the Democrats to deny that VA<J* the Speakership contest had any Presi- X„ dential aspects, but while the dead-lock "as on the prominent Democrats who £ thronged the corridors of the Capitol, |ff|f j gave the whole thing away by their fran- Ji. ' tic appeals for votes. The issue was * squarely made that the election of Mills ^ X 1) would mean the nomination of Cleveland, t £ and of Crisp an anti-Cleveland man, and * - npon that issue, and no other, did the i^mocraticrepresentatives divide. It is significant that it required a combi­ nation of the field to beat Cleveland, and it meuns that there is a probability of another contest, in which the anti- Ctevelanders will fight for the place from t which Cleveland has been driven, the op- i L/; Posing forces being led by Gorman and J" respectively, two men who are past- 'p' rf massers in political chicanery. || rr SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOUSE. .
