GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Poll Parrot and the Iceman


An iceman was rattling his cart over
the coblestones in an old Boston street
close by the water one day this week,
says the Record, when a bare-headed,
half-dreSsed woman flew out of the up
per window of an old brick house on to
the piazza that surrounded it midway,
and began to hail after him Vocifer-
ouSly.
well, what in thunder are we holler-
in at?" he asked.
AT you, ye deaf, dumb, blind and
halt'' cried the vehement woman.
"Well, now that's smart! Why didnb
ye hev yer card out, stead o'makin'
sich a card o'yerself on that piarer?"
mind yer bizness" snapped the
woman.
At this point parrot who swung
from next door neighbor's window,
and whose eye and ear had been attuued
to the goings on, caught up the refrain
and Shrieked out, .'Mind your bizness
mind your biznessi''
"Oh Ludi" softly calculated the
woman, now we're in for it!'
"Whew oou, that'll do." whistled the
ice-man in surprised comment at the
parrots aptness.
"Whew oou, that'il do" mocked the
parrot promptly back.
For de Lud's sake, leave that piece
O. Ice, quickn' snapped the woman, IAN
drive off an keep cool; if you can't 'tkeep
cool any other way, sit upon the ice."
sit upon the ice! Sit upon the ice ="
came in as distinct form as the muf-
fled articulation of the parrot could con-
yey it. The woman drew in her head,
the man mounted the cart and drove
away laughing, while bevy of chill
dren had gathered round the scene de-
lighted with the parrots newly acquired
stock of words and doing their best to
make him remember them.

ABUSING NELSON,

If it was not a refined, still it was
somewhat expressive way the Princeton
Union took to express its hatred for
KNUTE NELSON when it said: ''If the
salvation of the Republican party de-
pends upon such men as he, then we
say damn the Republican party" Con-
sidering that the gravamen of Mr.. MEL
SONS otfense lies in his vote for tariff
reform measure, and that the Union is
a representative organ of the Repub-
lican party, the fair inference is that
tariff reformers are not wanted in the
Republican party in this state, and their
votes are not solicited by Republican
candidates. The farmers of Minnesota
will do we'll to make a note of this.
In the main they agree with
ME-. NELSON in his tariff views, and if
the leaders of the Republican party in
woke damnation upon their party in case
it has to depend for support upon the
tariff reform wing of the party, then
the sooner these farmers get out of the
party the better it will be all around.
There are but few, if any, of our Sean
dinavian population who do not sup
port Mr.. NELSON in his gallant fight for
tariff reform. and if their support of the
brilliant leader whose name is an honor
to Scandinavian nationality is so offen-
sive to the Republican bosses as to make
them wish themselves damned rather
than be subjected to such association,
then it is time that the Scandinayians
were preserving their self-respect by
marching in body right out of the Re.
publican camp.
The Democratic party is the natural
home of the tariff reformer. He has nc
abiding-place elsewhere. The Repub
licans despise him, and will make him

A Meeting to be Held for the Pur-
pose of Stimulating Public Opin-
ion.
LONDON, July 30.-William Randall
Cremer, NJ. P, who has just returned
from Paris, says that the published
copies OF the arbitration speech of NJ.
Goblet, the French minister of foreign
affairs, were incorrect Mr.. Cremer was
taken to the French foreign office by
several members of the chamber of
deputies, including Nj. Yves-Guyot,
Frederick Pussy, Gallard, Barodet,
Seigfried, Loalande, LyonnaiS and
MOntaut. He explained to M. Goblet
the proceedings of the English arbitra-
tion deputation which went to America,
and said the deputation had found in
the United States strong feeling i'll
favor of
FRANCO-AMERICAN TREATY.
M. Goblet expressed himself as deeply
interested in the subject of arbitration.
He said it would afford his government
pleasure to enter upon such treaty,
but the peculiar position in which
France was now placed made it
difficult for her to take the in
itiative in the matter. One hundred
and twenty deputies signed the peace
memorial. A meeting of French depu-
ties and English members of paliament
has been arranged for Oct. %, to stimu-
late public opinion in favor of French,
English and American arbitration. The
meeting will be held in Paris. NJ
Clemenceau supports the movement.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, July 30.-The return of En-
peror William to Berlin Wednesday
will be made the occasion of grand
ovation to the kaiser. Now that the
monarch is on his way back home, the
question is repeatedly asked what has
cZar that is likely to rebound to the ben
eft or glory of Germany. Certainly his
hobnobbing with the cZar has not had
the effect to bring Germany into closer
relations with her allies, Austria
and Italy, while many European, and
especially German statesmen are of the
opinion that the bonds of the triple al
Hence have been considerably slackened
thereby. The splendid diplomatic
achievement of the pope, too, in pre-
venting the kaiSer'S visit to Rome, can
not fail to irritate Italy greatly and
force upon her ruler the conviction that
the kaiser may ultimately be brought to
regard the alliance as an agreement
made for the purpose of benefiting
Germany alone. What advantages have
been gained by the emperor's trip to
st. Petersburg are clearly OH the side of
Russia, both In respect of weakening
the triple alliance, and in regard to the
settlement of the Bulgarian question in
the near future and to the satisfaction
of the cZar, and it does not now appear
that the German emperor has secured a
single point. Austria is certain to in
terpose objections to the predominance
of Russia in settling matters in Bulgaria,
and it is difficult to see how Germany,
in view of the promises made by EN-
perOr William to the czar, can support
Austria's claims. All things consid-
cred, it is quite apparent that the i'm
perial meeting has been barren of the
| beneficial results to Germany which Ger
mans believed would follow.

Hence the strike.
Two men entered the residence of Joseph
Ellis at Bridgewater, Mass, about 1 O'Clock

special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, July 30.-The fate of STAN
ley still continues to disturb the public
mind, and the discussion concerning his
whereabouts, if alive, has been prolific
of innumerable theories. The fact of
Tippoo Tbs following Stanley, however,
is held to enhance the probability of his
death in the minds of the pessimists.
Maj. Bartlelot, commander of the camp
at Aruwimi, and Prof. Jameson, the
eminent naturalist, are known to be
good men, and entirely able under
ordinary circumstances of
RENDERING INVALUABLE ASSISTANCE
to Stanley, but it is feared by those who
know Tippo Tib well that that chief, at
the head of a small army under perfect
control, has not been able to resist the
temptation always strong within him,
to fight whenever an opportunity Oc-
Cured, and upon the assumption that
stincts. it is believed that Stanley has
been overwhelmed as the result of the
evaporation of natives which TipDOo
has aroused. Strong pressure is now
being brought upon the government to
recognize
THE UNOFFICIAL EXPEDITION
now on the way to Khartoum, which
will not likely meet with serious Oppo-
SitiOn until it arrives at Berber, where
the new mahdi'S outpostS are at present
stationed.
The Pail Mall Gazette in strong ar
ticle to-day advocates the appointment
of Zebehr PaSha to the command of an
expedition to search for Stanley, and
the suggestion is favored by many per-
sons familiar with the general situation
on the African frontier.
PRIVATE DISPATCHES FROM COPEN-

aSm aroused by the visit of the German

was always most anxious &c betray
to the Irish party the secrets of the
cabinet and to endeavor, while in the
cabinet, to undermine their councils
and plans in the interests of the Irish
party. If the inquiry was extended to
these matters he would be able to make
good his words by documentary and
other evidence that had not been
forged. At this point the debate was
adjourned.

Our present state laws relating to assess

The state insurance commissioner is of little
use if the official state documents he issues
are not based on some tests which give pro-
lection to the insurers and enable him to
guarantee a company as sound or otherwise

Resumption Of the Discussion in
the Parnell Investigation Riu.


the Parnell Investigation Bill.
LONDON, July 30.-The house of COM
mons in committee this evening re-
sumed consideration of the Parnell in
vestigation Mr.. Sexton moved to in
crease the number of judges to five. If
the commission to be authorized by the
bill is to investigate the whole history
of the league, he said, the members of
that commission would take years to
complete that inquiry. Mr.. Mathews.
home secretary, said that there would
be no difficulty in taking evidence
abroad. There was nothing to be gained
by an increase of judges. Mr.. Sexton
then suggested that as the commission
was to deal in such charges as those of
merder, OutrageS, and such like crimes,
everything to prove these charges might
turn upon the examination of witnesses
in New York, or even in Australia.
Charles II. Anderson, member for
Elgin and Nairn, was surprised that the
government had
DARED TO PROPOSE
that the contemplated tribunal should
have the power to appoint other COM
missioners to take evidence abroad.
Mr.. Parnell reminded the house
that they were discussing a pro-
pOSal to provide substitute
jury. He called the attention of the
house to the fact that while in England
jury of twelve was always provided,
it was proposed in the settlement of the
important and far-reaching issue in
volved in this jury that the results
