An Old Darby Who Believed In Resting

NV last experience was with little,
robust old darkey known in our town

up my wife's flower garden, a task any
half active man would have completed
in half a day.
Uncle Scip said he would "drap
round" and "frow up dat dirt in

Half an hour later | went out and
found the spade sticking up in the
ground and three or four shovels OF
dirt thrown up.
Here, Uncle Scip," said, "this
won't do; you must work faster"
Eyes, sab; yes sab; was jess resin

He seized the spade, made the dirt

how he was getting along. "Don'tyo'

He ''rested up steadily until half

tired as himself, came around and they |
crested together in sunny corner Of
the lawn until eleven o clock; then l |
went out and said:
"See here, Scip. either go to work

acteristic of Democratic Presidents and states
men to make great noise over foreign ques-
tons, to stumble around in blind negotiation,
and then at last to abandon everything OF
principle in dispute. The present situation is
put in nutshell by MIR. Blaine in these words !:

Tuesday in November ?' We do not be-
leye that the sane man lives who doesn't hon.
estly think that Mr. Cleveland's real motive In
writing that message was to counteract by
sounding words the impression which all the
acts of his Administration have produced that
he is weak and timid, short-sighted and cred
ulous in his dealings with foreign Powers.
The demagogio twang of his remark about
Government doing "but half its duty when IL
protects its citizens at home and permits them
to be imposed upon and humiliated by the un-
fair and overreaching disposition OF other ma
tions.n is unmistakable As statement OF
National duty it is as true as it is obvious, but

at is falsehood that the foreign producer

that Mr.. Mckinley is daringy dishonesty in
making this statement in his Georgia speech.
Without doubt somebody is daringly dis
honest,n but is il Mr. Mckinley "The St.
James's Gazette" British paper, publishes the
following:

that the foreign holders are advancing prices
already, in the bare hope that the bill remov-
