How an Old Pioneer Can Ride

DENVER, COL, February 25,-One

cord has just been achieved IN Lari-

pioneer settler Of Loveland. received

Uncle Davy's daughter, that their
youngest child, Mildred, was very low,

land at once. SaddliOg one Of his best
horses he set out upon the tedious
journey. Monday night Was the coldO
est OF the season, the mercury going

the evening when Uncle Davy got
started, and he had q distance of SIX
ty.two miles before him.
AT Buruham ranch, eighteen miles
from his home, be made a change of
horses, and at Fort Collins, twenty
eight miles farther on the journey, he
again changed. AT Burnham's he had
taken a rest of an hour and taken
supper. Tuesday morning, just as fhe
sun was shedding its first rays acroas
the plains, the thermometer still iudi

An Elk traOrdinary Statement.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Nor
rison Tariff bill is beaten. Mr.. Ra q
dali has announced TO bis Republican
friends that bis organization of follow
ers IS complete aud compact, and that
not only will be be able to lead at leas
fifty men into the Republican camp
against the Morrison bill, but it IS un-
derstood that he will himself take the
leadership in opposition 10 the bill.
The bill is now il committee. II
NAV be reported the latter end of next
week. When 1t comes before the
House a parliamentary motion will be
made intended to kill it at once and
prevent debate upon it. If this mo-
tiou succeeds MIR. Randall and the Re-
publicans intend to kill the bill with
out debate but If they fail in this thew
will use the earliest opportunity 10 cut
off debate and kill the bill.
Mr.. Randall has held free commune
cation with the Republicans on the
tactics TO be used to obtain the end
which they aim at-nOt only the de-
feat of the bill, but the prevention Of
debate upon it-and he aud the Re-
publicans are now confident of success.
He Is certain of carrying with him into
the Republican camp all the men who
voted for him for Speaker, and probably
four or five more. There has been a
close count and the tally shows that
Mr.. Randall will be followed by about
ffty.four gentlemen who on this issue
prefer the Republican to the Democratic
side; although they were elected as
Democrats. They are: Connecticut,

Carlyle's Laugh.

None OF the many sketches OF Carlyle
that have been published since his death
have brought out quite distinctly enough
the thing which struck me more forciDly
than all else, when in the actual presence
of the man namely, the peculiar quality
and expression of his laugh 1t need
hardly be said that there is a great deal
in a laugh. One of the most telling
pieces of oratory that ever reached my
ears was Victor Hugo's vindication. at
the Voltaire Centenary in Paris, of the
smile of Voltaire Certainly Carlyle's
laugh was not like that smile, but it was
something as inseparable from his
personality, and as essential to the &C
count, when making up ones estimate
of him. 1t was rs Individually charac-
teristic as his face or his dress, his way of
talking or Of writing. Itseemed, indeed,
indispensable for the explanation Of al
of these. l found in looking back upon
my first interview with him that all that
l he'd known of Carlyle through others,
or through his own books, for twenty
FIVE years, had been utterly defective
had left out, in fact, the key to his whole
nature-inasmuch az nobody had ever
described to me his laugh,
1t was not the bitter laugh Of the
cynic, nor yet the big bodied laugh of
the burly Joker; least of all was it the
thin and rasping cackle of the dyspeptic
satirist. But it was a broad, honest,
human laugh, beginning in the brain,
took into its action the whole heart and
diaphragm, and instantly changed the
worn face into something frank and even
winning, giving 10 it an expression that
would have won the confidence of any
child. Nor did it convey the impression
IF an exceptional thing that occurred for
the first time that day, and might never
happen again. 1t rather produced the
fleet of something habitual OF being
he channel, well worn for years, by
which the overflow of a strong nature
was discharged. 1t cleared the air like
ihunder, and left the atmosphere sweet.
It seemed to say to himself, if not to MS,
DO not let US take this too seriously;
it is my way Of putting things. What
refuge is there for man who looks be-
low the surface in world like this,
except to laugh now and then?' The
laugh, in short, revealed the humorist;
if l said the genial humorist, wearing
mask of grimness, should hardly go too
far the impression it left. At any rate 1t
shifted the ground, and transferred the
whole matter to that realm of thought
where men play with things. The in
slant Carlyle laughed he seemed 10 take
the counsel of his Old friend Emerson,
and TO write upon the lintels of MS door

Some people do not understand ho W
high or low tariff affects them, How
is 1t burdeni we have been asked d.
Well, if you are a mechanic or laborer
and make 50 many dollars IN year;
there are two ways Of benefittiug you.
Oue is that promised by high protec-
tionists to-wit' high wages. The ot4h-
err, that promised by low tariff men,
heavy reduction on the cost OF living;
all you save in this way you make.
Low wages and low est Of living
would leave you in the same condi-
ton as high wages and high cost of liv'
ing. A low tariff makes lowpriced artic
les Of consumption, cheap living. We
have not had chance to try this since
the war. We have tried high prorec-
tive tariff and living and our labor
has not been enriched. - Lynchburg
