DEATH OF AN INTERESTING CHIID-On
Monday morning last, Harry, son OF MI.
Calvin Weller of this place, died after brief
illness of about three days. The attack be-
gan with disorder of the stomach, but the
immediate cause of death was congestion of
the brain. The little fellow was an unusu-

facts the notice is of a marriage that never
occurred by priest who does not exist,
while the names of the alleged contracting
parties are bona tide; so much for the writer.
Now we do not receive one letter in one

THE SENATORIAL PLUM

THR senatorial plum which is to
drop from ths Legislative tree this
winter causes numerous republ can
mouths to w..ter; and there Is
lively crowdng just now to stand
right under where it will fall. C,l
John G. Spooner's head is up and his
mouth wide open. Gen. Fairchild
has taken the measure OF his mouth
and OF the plum and said to him
self lust fit" Hon. VIM. 7. Price
thinks the tree could be shaken so as
to make the plum fall on the bias, a
little out of perpendicular, as it we're
into his mouth.
However, all this shouldering and
showing and mouth opening is in
vain. At the proper time Senator
Sawyer will take the long pole with a
little bag on the end, which he uses
in harvesting senatorial plums, and
will quietly reach up, and that plum
will detach itself from that tree and
roll into that bag, He will then
haud it to the man of his choice and
say Here, Johs, try some Of this
fruit off from my tree
All Of this is of no concern to the
democrats. They have little per
simmon harvest of their own on hand
and are measuring their poles with
patriotic emulation to be useful in
their day and generation.

men of high tariff valor, and show
your mettle. The Pnilistines Of tariff
reform be upon YOU. They are not
merely surrounding the walls, they are
within the gates. In plain English,
the secretary of the treasury of a re
publican administration, right upoR
the heels of high tariff campaign.
is declaring in his annual report,
which IS submitted with the sanction
and approval of a republican presi-
dent, and virtually recommending as
the policy of the government, sub
staut,ally the same thugs that
the hated tariff reformerS are aivo
eating. He fSvors sush tariff reduc-
ton on raw materials as will enable
us to extend our foreigS trade He
intimates that we must throw down
our fences of protection. He shows
that our foreign trade is in more
critical condition than the public are
generally aware, and shat all that en-
ables us TO meet the dram IL pay for
our imports from even the South
American states is our agricultural
products and petroleum. The secre-
tary outlines policy which is but
little variant from that of the tariff
retsrmers Of the democratic party.
By his able and lucid exposition of
the present state OF our manufactures,
and that they have been stimulated
bya high tariff policy to over produc
tion, the secretary makes utter aon-
sense of nine-tenths of the tariff talk
which was heard in Mr.. Blaine's cam
paign, during the last three months.
He gives quiet rebuff - Mr.. Blaine's
wild tariff ideas, anu leaves ali the
advocates of high tariff in the attltade
of mere pretenders in the positions
they assumed in the late canvass.
