HENRY WATTERSoN is the name of
a big Democrat in the State of Ken
lucky and out of office, who finds
fault with several other big Demo-
Gratis now residing in Washington
and in Office. He says that the pres
ent Administration has nothing to do
but pat its big belly three times day
and thank God for good meal and
no principles to bother it. No doubt
Henry has got this correct, but the ami
mus of his displeasure lies in the fact
that another Administration is not
there which could pat its big belly
three times day and thank God it
had principles which bothered it, but
which were unworthy the bother of
any one else. This is the way the
politicians have of pretending to have
a live issue up for settlement in order
to turn aside the attentions of the
people while they are being feeced.
These fellows know that Protection
and Free trade as known in our pres
ent political dictionery are the veri-
est humbugs yet they will continue
to ring the changes upon them until
the majority of the people begin to
learn that the fellows themselves are
also.

COMPARATIVE HONESTY.

In his very adroit speech on silver, Mr..
Long had much to say about our dishonest
silver dollar, by which he means that it
does not contain full dollars worth of
silver. There is nothing in that argument
The French silver dollar contains but 1880
parts, while ours contains 1898 parts to
of gold. And yet France maintains at par
5000, 100000 of silver, while our silver cur
rency amounts to only about 5000, 900, 900.
The American silver dollar is as honest a
coin as there is in the world.-Globe.

most other garden vegetables ARE in an
unnatural condition. Cultivation has
caused these to produce roots many

occurs to the driver is hat the animal

the attack is severe the animal will fall
