Col. R. C.. Ingersoll was fol many years a resident of Peoria and some of the old residents oI that section do not hesitate tc assert that at times he indirectly admitted the existence of au end less place of torment which he now claims does not exist. As an in stance of this, aud also to show the readiness at repartee of the Col onel, the following story is told; Several years ago, when he was in the prime of his law practice in Peoria, the Colonel happened to have as client 2 young and buxom widow over in Washington, Taze- well County. The opposing counsel was the late Jonathan K. Cooper, as stanch Presbyterian as ho was able lawyer. A the close of the evidence Mir. Cooper arc~c o.a3 made splendld argument on his side cf the case. closing bY 'sasIng that his legal opponent
 as prejudiced when it came 'fQ d efending beautiful women. ~Why," said Mir. Cooper, 'when Col. Ingersoll gets d chance to work in q law case for a hand some woman he forgets all law, all logic, and everything except her attrlcti2ls, an1 you, gentle men of the jury, have no doubt had evidence Of ths truth of this during the progress of ths present trial" After the vener- able Presbyterian closed Colonel Ingersoll arose, with twinkle in his eye, and slowly and solemuly commenced as follows: "Gent.e uen of the jury, the counsel on the other side is correct. | do have a leaning in the direction of beauti- ful women. l do love belutiful woman. l love the tiresile about which play dear children, presided over by a smiling, beautiful mother. l tell you what it is, gentlemen of the jury, l would rather-much rather-if l had my cholce, be in h-l fifteen minutes, sitting on a hard wooden bench, beside a woman as beautiful as Cleopatra, than to reside q lifetime in Heaven singing psalms with Jonathan K. Cooper" The jury, court, lawyers, and spectators roared with laugh ter, in which Mir. Cooper was forced to join, and Col. Ingersoll and his beautiful client cana out ahead. Chicago Tribune.

the fact that the destruc ton of the

ket for his fruit. The telegraph yes
terday announced that the crop
which usually aggregates thirty to
fifty million is total failure. That
approximates quarter OF the yield

Two months ago the programme
was to overwhelm the Democratic
party by loading it with the RESPONSE
bility Of the extra session. 1t soon
became apparent that this could not
be made "to stick" Now there is a
change of base on this proposition,
aud the cry is that "honors are easy"
on that score, This twill not stick
any more than the other. So far as
the Democratic State government is
concerned, if it made any mistake in
the premises, it consisted in putting
trust in the pledges OF the legislators,
a majority OF whom were Republic
ans. Had these Republicans not
signed the petition with the pledge
annexed, the extra session had not
been called, After the Legislature
met these Republicans had it in their
power at any time to have passed the
bills proposed, thereby redeemed
their pleuges ana tnelf
Honor moult no feather"
Failing to do this the next best
thing had been that they should have
adjourned promptly and thereby
saved large part OF the heavy ex-
pense to the taxpayers which the
extra session proved. To man up
a tree it looks greatly as if a pledge
had been signed with the same in
tent for which pie-crust is kneaded,
the call procured, the session OBJ
tanned, the taxpayers mulcted to the
tune OF $3.50, o0O-and all to Gust
\ Hearst from the Senatorship and put
Mk Williams in his place. II not for

IT was a master stroke OF good
judgment on the part of the State
Convention which named the candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor. An
exchange gives the following biogra-
ply OF Tarpey;
Michael Francis TarpeV, whose
name is second on the emocratic
State ticket, Tor Lieutenant Governor,
was born in County Mayo, ireland, in
lS48. When a lad OF eight years his
parents came TO New y ork city md
in 1859, they moved West, arrivinein
San Francisco by the steamer Sonora
on the 2sth OF July. Mr.. Tarpev was
educated in the free public schools On
San Francisco and entered St. Igna-
titus College, where he studied full
course and graduated with honors.
In the spring OF 1869 occurred the
mining excitement at White Pine
district, Nevada, and the subject Of
this sketch joined the rush OF eager
fortnne-hunters who went to this
camp. He remained there till 1875,
when, with modest capital, accuin-
ulated by thrift and fortunate invest
ments, he returned to CaliiorniakInd

The country will W atch with inter-
est the result OF the call for three per
cent. bonds, made by Acting-secre-
tary of the Treasury, Fairchild. The
call for an indefinite surrender is
meant. Where specific numbers are
called in, these, of course, will be
presented for redemption. But there
is a general call for the surrender Of
any numbers and to any amount Of
the bonds bearing three per cent.
interest. Where these are in
hands other than of National Banks,
no doubt there will be a pretty gem
eral willingness to give them up. The
banks, on the other hand, will hold
on to these securities unless specially
called in. Secretary Fairchild has
been making specific calls lately in
amounts averaging nearly million a
day. That is just about the amount
OF the daily revenue receipts OF the
Federal Government as at present
administered. The Treasury, there
fore, will not be likely to run short OF
funds. These specific calls are eaus-
ing so many National Banks to wind
up their affairs that this branch of
the Treasury Bureau is glutted with
work. The New York Sun proved
with an array of figures and facts
that the Federal Government can
call in all the three per cents and not
cripple her resources for day. Our
Republican brethren have expert
enced radical change of heart on
this bond question. They are clamor-
ing the loudest now to have these
securities redeemed. Perhaps it is
a Radical change Of heart, meant to
force the hand of the Democratic
administration, whose action in call
ing in the bonds would in turn force
the hands OF the millionaire banks TO
more liberal policy, to.wit
stronger sinews of war to
drive that hostile administration
from Washington. Long time the
world has Cleared the Greeks, even
when bringing gifts" The National
Banking system has not been with
out Its benefits. But the system in
its essence is not according to the
true Republico-Democratic principles
OF government upon which the
American Federal Union is based.
The policy is a paternal and central
izing one; 1t is OF the nature OF special
privileges; the same course of policy
would justify the government in
meddling with other branches of en-
terprise and industry = with tele-
graphs and railroads for example. II
is not likely that the nation will go
on paying interest on bonds which il
is able to redeem just to perpetuate
that system. Ii we could only grasp
the idea, the basis principle OF
government is to do as
little Of the governing as possible.
All power is in the people. Ths in
