then prove successful he can rightly

A decidedly handsome and intel

rather OF an intense mental exalta.

regardless Of school discipline and

missed IN the evening il was thought
that she would quietly retire to her

enough, she omphaGcally declined
to do, and so she had 10 be removed

WHILE a freight train on the c.,

he was pounding the side of the car
to attract attention.-G GaIena Gazette.
THERE are few things which are
more difficult than to properly bestow
charity. The well fed cat is seldom
a good hunter, so those who are con
stantly aided are seldom hard and
careful toilers. "The more you do,
the more you may" is apt to be too
true. How can | help without hay-
ing it as difficult as an algebraic
problem? He who can stimulate
self-help and thereby develop self
respects the greatest philanthropist.

Few questions ought oftener to

to be given something to do and
held to strict responsibility. If the
boy does not like to work compel it,
If he is careless teach him careful
ness at any cost to the parent. 1t is
crime against the state to not do
these things.

The fact that Wisconsin tobacco
is cleft out in the cold" and our
home industries are consequently
depressed through the importation
of Sumatra leaf at a "tarriff-for-rev-
enue-only" rate Of duty is one which
staggers the free-trade organs here
about considerably. 1t is a situation
which brings the tariff question
right home to the people "where
they live" and enables the producing
classes To realize what it means to
be brought into competition with
the poorly paid and ill-fed labor of
other countries. The Mineral Point
Democrat refers to it as "this trouble
some question of more protection
for our tobacco interests" but while
it evidently has had its eyes opened
it is too proud to admit it and still
counselS democrats to bravely face
the music and continue the fight for
tariff reform" By all means, let
them continue their gallant fight.
It's practical results are so beautiful.
Let the duties be placed low enough
so that imported articles can be
bought here cheaper than we can
produce the same kinds, and then,
of course, we won't have to work
any more and will have nothing to
do but just "buy ourselves rich"
TO be certainly!--Dodgeyille Gbron-
jcle.

PauI V. shaw.

The hearing of the notion for new trial in the case ot Paul vs. shaw was be- gun yesterday. and the court will be called upon to decide whether 1t shall review its own action by the immediate predecessor of the present incumbent of the bench, and set down as law to-day that which was not considered law one year ago.
 The attorneys for Shaw opened by reading the voluminOus testimony of the former trial, or SO much thereof os fa- vored their mOtIon, and occupied all the forenoon.
 After recess MT. Alex Campbell called the attention of the Court to the fGct that the attorneys of l.. O. Shaw hal clandestlnely aud in aimCst dIscourteous and unprofessionBl manner filed RddI- tional hfiidavits in support Ot their E5- tioD, after the motion vas before the Court, and without notice Co opposing counsel, He therefore asked that they be stricken from the files oflthe Court.
 The Court saId that such proceedings were permissible under the statutes of Illinois.
 Messrs. Campbell Haynes and Jef- lords each spoke So this point and showed thnt a differ mt procedure obtained under the statute of Arizona and that the anidavits VI re not properly and lawfully filed.
 The Court felt disposed to give the widest poss bIe latitude c. the proceed inrs and would leave the question open until the siIidavits were offered, when II they were in the nature of rebuttsl tes. timony they should certainly be read.
 Mir. Duugan then read from the tee timony regarding the San Navler pre- cinct, and also tho testimony relative to blank registration oaths having been circulated a, the depot and signed ID blank, to which the !ufat Of the regis- trRt,Ou officer was afterwards appended.
 The affidavIts of George '. Martin, Henry Barron, l.. O. Shaw and others were then read. An amended affidavit of l.. o. Shaw was excepted to by counsel for Paul. It referred to evidence glven Ly C. M. Strauss, Marcus kstz and W. B. GroseclOse before the United Siates grand jury regarding alleged OaIOe frauds. The court sustained the obIec- ton and the fling of the amended .all- dsvit was denied.
 MT. Campbell then read atiIdAylts oi R. IT. Paul, J. A. Muir, II, W. Brady "A RIsrE T. \. Mason, W. W, Booth, \. B. Appel and W, B. GFoseclose; after winch the Court took recess until this

A Inurer.s PraXcr.

A St. Paul Clergyman. who IS not too diCnified and straig ght-lsced to enjoy 8 good story, relates the following mel dent: some time ago, as the story runs' W. W. Erwin. the. criminal lawyer pressed for little change. dropped into tbe office of D. W Ihgersoll and asS- ed him for q loau Of live dcl- lars Mir. Ingersoll declined to make tine advance, but suggested that' instead, if Mir. Erwin would go into the basement with him, he would pray Tor him. NIT. Erwin consented, and the TWO went into the depths, where, on ms pended knees, Iugersoll prayed long ana well for his brother man. When he had concludedIErwin said: Now I'll pray.
 Mir. Erwin's prayer was peculiar one It was delivered at the top of hls voioe' and consisted of an an exhortat;on 10 inc Lord to direct Ingersoll how to dls- nose of his vast wealth wisely, As ne warmed up, the pitch of his voice raised materially, and Mir. IDgersoll grew neI- vous. and urged him not to pray so loud' as if would bring those upstairs down. Iii was of DO avail. The exhortstions grew more fervent. and finally became howIs. Then Ingersoll, with a despair, ing exclamation, sprung to his feet ana said; Stop praying, Erwin, heres your S5. The devotions ended at once. -ot' Paul Pioneer Press

tion of the hostiles and the remnants of ,helr tribes now on the reservation. Had his opinions been purely original some little credit might be claimed for hlm, but as he has only reiterated the unanimous sentiments of the people of Arizona voiced through the press long tune before he became a resident of the Territory, he insults the Intelli- gence of the people by claiming to be the original inventor or discoverer of the correct course. Any gentleman less lost to all sense of modesty would dis claim the borrowed honor that fits him like the Chatham street dealers coat, and announce that 1t is the peoples will, and that their will IS his law. The pompous egOtism of his claims is, how ever, a source of some qualification to hls immediate satellites, and affords an opportunity for the sycophsnts to toady to his highness and kiss his sacred big toe Tn the most treverential fashion, but it only amuses the more intelligent pub hc, who regard it as a species of mild lunscy or eccentricity accustomed by the imitation of small official position. The idea-"the Governors ideG"-that the hostile Indians be caught, tried and hanged like any other murderers, has been often expressed by almost every individual citizen of the Territory, and they have also urged the removal of the remainder of ther restless kinsmen fsum the reservation to some remote point outside of the Territory.
