Ar Farmers Alliance meeting over

speaker said "that the labOring people
had suffered at:the hands.ot the money
class, that when they elected Mr..
Cleveland, they expected protection,
but that he was no better than a Re
publican" Well, hardly. Mr.. Cleveland
and his Cabinet, have so far, discounted
the corruption of any Republican admin
istratioe, in the support of the Pan-Elec-
trical Telephone Company, which even
the most inconsistent Democrat cannot
endorse. Yes, Mr.. Cleveland lie worse
than a Republican. and the country will
find that Democratic reform is in name
only.

of North Carolina received friendly
visit from the governor Of South Caro-

ors lit pipes and sat in the shade of the
back veranda with demijohn of real
North Carolina corn whisky, copper dis
titled, within easy reach. 'sThcrc was
nothing stuck up about those govern
ors.'' says North Carolina state his
torian, in the homely but vigorous Ian
guage Of his section. "Therc they sot
and smoked, and sot and smoked, every
once and awhile taking mutual pull
at the demijohn with the aid of the
gourd, which they used as democratic
goblet. The conversation between the
two governors was on the subject of tur-

spective states, and the further thcy got

General News Condensed.


Tuesday, February %, the immense dry
goods house OF Mannheimer Brothers OF
st. Paul was completely Quilted by
lire which caught in the basement from
carelessness OF some sort.
Two tiremen jumped with a line OF hose
into one OF the Minnesota street basement
windows, and had they been able to stay
there but few moments would undoubt-
edly have been able to check the progress
OF the flames. But the smoke was blind
ing and through the window which was
open it poured out thicker and blacker
than the concentrated smoke from
the chimney OF a steamboat. The men
finally got out almost insensible. Water
was poured into the basement by the thou
sands OF gallons. and it seemed as If the
place must be flooded, but still the fire did
not abate its fierceness. and suddenly the
flames and smoke were seen to burst
through the first floor from the basement
below, until the entire corner OF the first
floor near the show windows on the street
was one sheet OF broad devouring flame.
There was no time now for hesitation, and
heavy hooks were quickly seized by the fire
lads and ruthlessly dashed against the
plate glass windows shattering them COM
pletely and giving an access for the intro
duction OF hose.
The-:ire was finally extinguished but not

their valuation of their stock ran in the
aggregate from $3.50, 900 to S275.OOO, and
that they estimate their loss to be Go per
cent OF this. or about $16O. 900. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that a later computa-
tion and examination OF the salvage
will lessen this considerably. The loss
to the building will run tritle
over $4,000 they believe. The in
surance on the building is $4,000; on the
stock S142 900. The Manheimers have al
ready ordered new stock and in month
will be going on the same as usual.

histe in a likely share of corn Juice or
other beverage, and keep his carcass at
the same time well ventilated, and gen.
orally always ready for more, while the
governor of North Carolina was more
cautious drinkcr, but was mighty sure
to strike bottom at about the twelfth
drink, like as if nature had measured
him by the gourdful. Well, they sot
and smoked and argued, and the gov
ernor of North Carolina was as hosp;t-
able as any real southern gentleman
could be, for he ladled out the whisky
in the most liberal manner, being par
ticular to give his distinguished guest
three drinks to his one and gauging his
own drinks with great care, for fear that
if he didn't he might lose the thread of
his argument and the demijohn might
run dry before the governor of. South
Carolina should be ready to dust out for
home, in which case it would look like
he had not properly observed the laws
of hospitality, which would have been
self-inhicted thorn in his side for years
to come. and no amount of apology
could ease his mind or enable him to
feel warranted in showing his counte-
nance to his fellow men, especially in
his home district, where for generations
it had been main point with every
gentleman to keep his visitor well sup
piled with creature comforts and to
hand him good gourdful as stirrup-
cup when about to make his departure
for the bosom of his family. Singular
to relate, the cautiousness manifested
by the governor of North Carolina was
of no avail, for at one and the same
time the jug went dry, and the governor
of North Carolina, much to his subse-
quent modification, when he learned
the fact afterward, dropped off into
quiet sleep, while the governor of South
Carolina continued to keep on with his
argument, keeping the empty gourd in
his hand in close contiguousness to the
demijohn, and wondering at the appar-
ent Observation-Disclosures of his hitherto
attentive host to whom, after minute
and a half of painful silence, he made
use of but one remark: Governor,
don't you think it's long time between
drinks!' The remark was overheard
by George, body servant of the governor
of North Carolina, who, knowing that
there was something wrong, took to
the woods, where he remained in seclu-
sion for three days; but the governor of
South Carolina, receiving no reply from
the governor of North Carolina, mount
ed his horse and rode sadly homeward
with an irrepressible feeling at his heart
that there was coming to be hollow
ness in friendship, and that human ma
ture was in danger of drifting into
condition of chaotic mockery. Rich

Like sapphires from heaven
With lnstre divine.
So full of deep yearning
And heavenly thought;
Bright stars ever burning,
Bright stars ever sought.
The comfort of sadness.
Our hope from above,
All beanling with gladness
And Infinite love.
The source of compassion,
OF siglis snl OF tears;
The cup Of concession
In long after years.
On. then let us cherish
The eyes we adore,
Too soon may they perish
On Lethe's dark shore.

or life will depart,
Whcn men lose the treasure
They love from their heart.
