WHY THIS DEMAND FORA soREEN2
Ne,r York World.
Although accounts of the personal appear
ance and actions of Mrs. Langtry have had
the edgo worn off them in this part Of tho
country, it will interest our readers to know
how tho celebrated beauty was received In
Cheyenne, Wyoming territory. The Demo-
cratic Leader of that place comes TO us with
two and half columns about the lily's ad-
vent there From this chronicle it is learned
that the entire population turned out in full
dress to receive hor Oh tho first night of her
appearance at the Opera house, and the critic,
aftor speaking rapturousy of her elegantly
nodded figure, the sparkle OF her beaming
eye, and the dainty curl of her aristocrntic
lip, SAYS that sho vividly recalls Powers's
Greek slave From this we should judge
that the Lily as she went west has SO modi-
fed her dress in accordance with classical
and artistic custom rs to leave nothing to be
desired by the western eye except u screen.

"Tho democratic party announced In 1916
and in 1850 its policy on the tariff question.

its declarations made at its last two national
conventions. l would bo willing, in vicw Of
the fact that the immediate reduction of the
tariff is pressing question, to recognize that
many industries are dependent upon the sup

HIS AMENDMENT.
Boston JoTna.
Sam Kalleton, member of the Arkansas
legislature, was very fond Of offering amend
monts to bills introduced. That was the
| limit of his legislative capacity. One morning,
after nights hilarity. he entered tho
legislative hall just as tho chaplain was asking
| Divine aid. Tho old man took a chew of
| tobacco and listened attentively until the
chaplain closed his petition with an, effective
recitation of the Lords prayer. Mr.
| Speaker" said the old man, arising, II move
| to strike out the words daily bread, and
insert as much bread as may be found
necessary for twenty days We have already
done enough for the flood sufferers.

comment Just now. People cannot talk about

learn that Mr.. Foster 10 not engaged in u
deep, dark scheme to unload the island OF
tillibusters, tobacco, sugar cane and debt on
our shoulders. The country has all it can at
tend TO just now.
