Kiss Ne, Too.

But, if there was diplomacy and
presence of mind shown in this an
swer, how much more was there in
the case of the young lady who sat in
an alcove at an evening party with q
bright, young military man. her little
niece on her knee to play propriety.
Suddenly the company is electrified
by the exclamation OF the child:
"KiGs me, too, Aunt Alicep
But the sudden shock is succeeded
by feeling Of relief as Aunt Alice
calmly replies:
"You should not say, kiss me, two,'
dear;you should say, "Kiss me twice"

Mrs. Nield is indeed the "girl orator."
Small of statue and only about "a

however, any preconceived idea of
puerihty quickly vanishes. She
grasps her subject with the strength
of mature manhood, and irresistible,
logical arguments characterizes every
discourse. Her voice is as sweet as
zephyrs among roses; her manner is
modest and retiring, and yet so bold
III defense of truth that all who hear
her go away deeply impressed. Last
Sunday she spoke of woman's mission.
when she declared she wanted no
higher sphere than that of wife and
mother;she did not want the rostrum,
nav, she instinctively shrunk from IT
only stern duty called her to leave
her children and home and bear the
gaze of the public. When she looked
at her own helpless infant and her
two motherless baby nieces; when
she with prophetic ken saw them
welded to beastly husbands, duty
compelled her to stand forth and
plead for such helpless beings. "Give
u.s." she said, "give us protection /;
give,us our boys and our sons-in law
There was hardly dry eye in that
crowded assembly. People 90 for

Wise Words From Maxey.

Senator MaXey, of Texas, in a rather
lengthy interview day or two ago, said
that about the only important issue now
between the Democratic and Republican
parties is the tariff. Ninety per cent. of
the Democrats want tariff for revenue
and more than ninety per cent. OF the
Republicans want tariff for protection.
Senator Naxey, therefore. thinks that the
sooner the Democrats press this issue
upon the attention OF Congress the better
it will be for the Democratic party. He
is in favor of brin cling up the Morrison
tariff bill, into which the Hewitt bill has
been incorporated, at once, and he be-
lieves that the Democratic leaders OF the
House will fail in their duty if they per-
NIT unnecessary delay In the matter.
He says that If Mr.. Randall Joins
the Republicans to defeat tariff reform
legislation the Democratic party should
cut loose from him, because if that party
doesn't differ with the Republican party
on the tariff question it doesn't materially
differ with it on any live question.
There is no reason to doubt that Sena-
tor Maxey speaks the sentiments of the
great majority of the Democratic leaders,
and it is clear from the Presidents mes
sage that he is in harmony with the ad-
ministration. The President urges action
with respect to the tariff, and he is in
earnest about it. Almost two years
have passed since the present admins
tration was inaugurated, and although
the national Democratic platform is
emphatically in favor of a reform in the
tariff, and the Democrats have a good
working majority in the House, there has
been no tariff reform legislation by that
| branch OF Congress. 1t will be well for
the Democrats of the House to heed the
advice of such leaders as Senator Maxey.
AS the President shows, there is now a
large annual surplus, and soon there
! will be no way to dispose OF it..
If it is wasted In eXtravagant ap-
preparations the Democratic party will
lose the confidence Of the country, and If
it is boarded in the Treasury financial
troubles will follow, for which the Demo-
cratic party will be blamed. The wise
thing to do, therefore, is TO cut down the
revenues at once by reducing the duties
on necessaries OF life.

Hunters Strange Luck.

From the S0nOD'd (CdL) D D9crGt.
A gentleman residing near the Napa and
Sonoma county lines, and whose name We
withhold by request, tells the following story
Of II remarkable shot, He was out in the
mountains in quest of the festive buck Mon
day and had experienced poor luck until aoout
noon. when he spled q tail, magnificent deer
raising his proud head over a rock pile at a
distance Of about 200 yards from him. The
branches OF young madrOna tree formed a
natural bronze-red and green frame above
the animals head. He hes Jated for some
time in doubt OF CHANGING shot at that dis
lance. the position of the target being so I'M
favorable. He decided to risk it, however.
and blaZed away. When the little wreath of
smoke had cleared away he found that the
proudly crested head had disappeared. lie
made his way as rapidly rs possible to the
spot and found his game awaiting INN. After
performing the customary surgical o Grafton
upon the deer'5 throat with his hunting knife,
he commenced to look for the death wound
What appear 10 be bullet hole was found
in the centre Of the deer'5 forehead.
In passing Ills hand Carcle-sly over the
wound he detected rough. sharp Drotuber-
ance. Thinking 1t was piece OF the shat
tered frontal bone he tried to withdraw it.
lie WAS una lie 10 move II at the rSt attempt,
and commenced Juggling in earnest. He
finally succeeded, bus, to his surprise. it was
not Il piece of skull. 1t was a splinter of
inch and half or quarter OF an inch thick.
gradually narrowing to a point st one end.
Upon careful examination he found that his
bullet had not touched the animal but had
struck one of the limbs of the madrona tree
about six inches above his head, chOnping ont
the splinter that had killed the deer The
splinter withdrawn from the ANIMALS skull
was fitted to the limb above, and the result
proved beyond doubt that the deer was
killed by The splinter Of wood.

Senator II, G. Wright, of this Senate
rial district, is looking carefully after the
interests of his constituents. His bill re-
curing chattel mortgages TO be recorded,
which passed the Senate few days ago
and which, in all probability, will pass
the House, appears to be good measure.
The purpose of 1t is to do away with what
are known as "pocket" mostg tges. I'm
der the law as it now STAN, a. unre-
corded chattel mortgage takes priority to
subsequent liens, and innocent creditors
are therefore liable TO suffer damage. A
man may loan another money, sup.
posing his property TO be unincum-
bered, when, in fact, it may be
mortgaged to its full value.
BY the terms Of Senator Wrights bill
chattel mortgages, in order TO secure pri-
GRITTY over subsequent liens, must be re-
corded within thirty days after they are
executed. If they are notrecorded within
that time the holders Of them must take
their chances with subsequent creditors.
The bill ought to, and doubtless will, meet
with very general approval.

AS the day approaches for the eXecu-
ton of Cluverius, the young lawyer who
was convicted at Richmond, Va, of the
murder of Lillian Madison, the feeling
that he may not be guilty after all appears
to grow in strength. He was convicted
wholly on circumstantial evidence, and
while that kind OF evidence is very salts
factory in many cases it ought to be so
strong as to leave no room for doubt where
human life is in jeopardy. The evidence
against Cluyerius is strong, but 1t is
not strong enough to wholly satisfy the
public, and, as it now appears, not strong
enough to remove all doubt from the
minds of all the jurors. Even a
judge of the Virginia Supreme Court,
who cannot be charged with hav-
ing any sympathy with Cluverlus,
has pointed out, In an elaborate opinion,
that the evidence is not such as to shut
out the probability that Lillian Madison
either committed suicide or was murdered
by some one else than the man who is con-
vjcted of numbering her.
1t is probable that the feeling in Rich
mond, at the time of Cluverius trial, had
III uSu W WIN ScCullHS uls
There appeared to be a determine
ton that be should be con-
victed, and it has been said that
the jurors would not have found it pleas
aatto remain in the city, if they had failed
to find verdict of guilty. Sentiment
there was largely Influenced, doubtless,
by similar case that occurred about
year before the Lillian Madison murder,
in which the defendant, who was ably de-
Tended, was convicted on evidence that
was wholly circumstantial, and who, al.
though he had stoutly proclaimed his in
nocence, when he found that there was
no longer any hope OF escaping the gal
lows, confessed the murder in all it's horri-
BILE details.
When Cluverius was arrested, there
fore, the Richmond public made up its
mind at once that he was guilty, and
was so determined that he should pay the
penalty of the crime that it would not
listen with patience to any defense of
him.
No one will now deny that strong as
the evidence against him is there Is still a
doubt Of his guilt. This doubt is so ap-
parent that a judge of the Supreme Court
has given expression TO it. Cluverius'
own statement, as to his whereabouts on
the night of the murder, published day
or two ago, appears to be very straight
forward, and steps ought to be taken at
once to verify it.
In view of the doubt Of Cluverius' guilt
would not the Governor have the approval
OF the people of Virginia if he were to re-
prieve the condemned man until another
effort can be made to fathom the mystery
of the murder, and, if no new facts are
discovered, to commute his sentence to
Imprisonment for life?

Senator Ben Harrison, OF Indiana, is a
candidate for reelection. He was asked
the day Congress assembled whether the
Legislature of his State was Republican
or not. He said he thought it was Re-
publican, but the subject was one about
which he did not care to talk. Why is it
that he doesn't care to talk about the
complexion OF the Indiana Legislature?
Is IL not because he knows that the Demo-
Gratis have a majority, and that unless
the Republicans resort to a trick of some
sort 10 deprive Democrats OF seats in the
branch OF the Legislature OF which they
have control he has no chance Of being
re-electedf The prospects of the sena-
tors getting back TO the Senate are not
sufficiently encouraging TO justify him in
talking.

At the regular weekly meeting OF the

A hOtdiscussion ensued. Conservative

lists insisted upon their passage, and the
debate was long and fierce. A vote was
taken and the resolution was defeated by

their work, retired from the hall. After
their departure the resolution was

The Conservative government of
England cannot be congratulated
on irs Irish policy. Irresolution and
timidity seems to characterize every
phase OF it, and, as a consequence, it is
piling up difficulties in Its own path and
paving the way for future defeat. The
law officers Of the GROWN have admitted
that the government mas made false
move. Driven by the outcry OF the land
lords from an attempt to placate the
league, it then tried by show of violence
TO brighten the league, and now stands
irresolute between the TWO policies, afraid
of BOTH
