The Huge Hoodoo Screams.
The Huge Hoodoo of Isaacs Place
has the tantrums again. This time it is
the city council and its legal adviser
that are wrong because it was decided
to widen Wall street without first ap-
plying to the Wisdom Shop of the Huge
Hoodoo for some of those immense but
awkward chunks of wisdom which can
be there obtained for the mere asking.
The fact that the Huge Hoodoo says the
Council is wrong will confirm the im-
pression prevailing among our citizens
that lthe council is solidly right, and so
long as the Huge Hoodoo continues to
find faultjust so long will the peop'e
implicitly trust the Council. Every
thing in nature has its uses and al-
though this statement may seem false
when applied to the Huge Hoodoo,
nevertheless it is true in his case. If
any one is in doubt as to the wisdom of
any public measure, or the abilily
or integrity of any individual, they
should get the Huge Hoodoo’s opinion.
Beware of whatever he praises, what-
” ever he condemns is right, and may be
safely swallowed in the dark. If the
doctrine of the transmigration of souls
were only true and the Huge Hoodoo
should transmigrate,what an ideal snap-
ping turtle he could make.

The Most Interestlng Tour.

Was one of the best presentations of
the political issues made by any speaker
during the canvass.
spoken in Virginia and West Virginia,
'and has agreed to make two tours of his
ownState—Indiana—making'thirty-two
speeches in all.
This will be one of the most interest-
ing tours of the campaign, for Mr.
Harrison is a public speaker who says
something when he talks. He doesn’t
lie, for he isn’t a demagogue.
Mr. Harrison’s agreement to make a
stumping tour in Indiana indicates, not
that the State is in danger, but that the
Republican battle is going to be the
best that can .be put up.

A Campaign Myth Exploded.
The prosperity of the workingman in
Mexico, one of the many myths to which
the Bryanite canvass has given birth,
has vanished into thin] air when con-
fronted with the report of the commit-
tee of the Chicago Trade and Labor
Assembly sent to Mexico to investigate
the facts on the ground. The commit-
tee who visited lthe Mexican working-
man at his home found him living in an
adobe hut ten feet square, and support-
ing himself and family on wages rang-
ing from 18 to 50 cents a day in silver.
His daily diet consists of corn pancakes
and beans, his shoes are sandlas worth
20 cents a pair, and his dress-a collection
of tattered patchwork that defies intel-
‘ ligent description.
Of course the report of the committee
of workingmen who visited Mexico to
see for themselves was not necessary to
convince business men familiar with
the conditions of labor in Mexico that
the American workingman is a prince
to a pauper as compared with the na-
tive workingman of Mexico.
The assertion that labor was more
prosperous in Mexico than in the
United States was known to be false
by til-lee who originated it, but it was
addressed to the class who have not
visited Mexico, with the expectation
that it would be accepted as the truth.
The visit of a delegation of American
workingmen to get at the facts for
themselves was not dreamed of by the
authors of the Mexican myth, or some
other Iie would probably have been
coined instead.
The report of the Chicago committee
of workingmen should certainly destroy
the efisctiveness of this myth as an
argument for free coinage. The busi-
ness classes in Mexico who prosper
under a silver currency do so because
they can about their workingmen with
cheap money. If free coinage were
adapted in the United States, displacing
the gold standard, there would be
business men who would prosper here

Father Kelley’s sudden call from An-
sonia to :New. Canaan his parishioners
got together' and were unanimdus in
their expressions that some gift shOuld
be given him as a token of esteem and
at the same time in recognizance of the
great gOod he did while here. 'A com-
mittee was appointed who went among
the parishioners and thelresult was, that,
