TUE stage and its influence has en-
gagged the attention of Bob Ingersoll,
and here is how he delivers himself:
The stage has amused and instructed
the world, 1t has added to the hap
piness of mankind. 1t is in partner
with all there is of beauty, of poetry
and expression. 1t goes hand in
hand with music, with painting, with
sculpture, with oratory, with philoso-
ply and history. The stage has hui
NOR; it abhors stupidity; it despises
hypocrisy; It holds up to laughter the
peculiarities, the idiosyncracies and
the little insanities of mankind; it
thrusts the spear of ridicule through
the shield of pretense; it laughs at
the lugubrlous, and it has ever taught,
and will, in all probability, forever
teach, that man is more than IL
tie, and that human love laughs at all
barriers, at all the prejudices of soci-
ety and caste that tend to keep apart
fwo loving hearts,

Ii Is already becoming apparent which
way the Republican cat will Jump. No
better vindication of the Democratic posi-
ton on the tariff can be required than an
article like the following FROM the New
York PresS, the most rabid of Republican
organs The tariff should not only be
revised and the revenue reduced by
friendly hands, but no time should be lost
in doing it. An extra session of the
htty-hrst congress should be called and
the tariff question settled at once. If
once settled on sound eeouomIc principles
the effect will be so beneficial to the ma
ton that the Republican party will be
Endorsed more thoroughly and widely in
1892 than in 1888. The sooner it is done
the better, Tor many reasons. 1t will re-
move all fears of a change in our fiscal
policy 1t will give enterprising Ameri-
cans an opportunity to develop in this
country many new and important branches
OF industry. With thousands employed
IN these newly established industries, and
the price to the consumer reduced. the
protectionisis will be doubly armed with
facts in 1892 to meet the exploded argu-
ments OF the free trade theorists.
The Press realizes that the Protec-
tionists must stand or fall on the expert.
ences of tie nation on the facts and fig
ures which support the protective princi.
pies. The opportunity is now afforded
for the highest and boldest craftsmanship
and 1t remains to be seen if the Republic
can party will prove equal TO the emerg-
eucy. A bold, statesmanlike policy put
into force at the earliest possible momen
will meet the approval of the people,
bring continued prosperity TO the nation,
improve the condition of the wage Garner,
establish rev and desirable industries,
open up fresh avenues of labor and de
velop the resources OF tins vast contp ut.

The self binder was first successfully
attached to the reaper in 1876; from 1867
to 1876 inclusive our average crop of
wheat, varying more with the season than
with the planted area, had been 25S, 000,-
600 bushels. In 1877, when the self
binder first began to be used, the crop
mounted to nearly 1854, 000, 900 bushels.
Again, in 1878, it mounted up, and from
that date to 1887 inclusive, in which
period the use of the self binder had be-
come general, the average crop, varying
more with the season than with the
planted area, was 440, 600, 900 bushels.
Could the crops of the last ten years nave
been saved without the self binder3
When we consider that the total number
of self binding reapers now made and
sold is more than 100000 a year, requir-
ing over 80, 900 tons of Irvine to bind a
single wheat crop, do we not find in the
tying of knot on the self binding har-
vester n main factor in the export of
grain with the returning import of gold
on which we resumed specie payment?
By that single improvement the cost of
wheat was reduced not less than 9 per
cent, and in some places 10 per cent

As for himself, the old engineer says
that he is not at all superstitious, but he
knows men who are handling the throttle
on the Bee Line who regard it as a bad
omen to see a white cat cross the road in
front of an engine in the night time.
You may think it is extremely foolish"
said he, but there is a man in charge Of
a passenger engine on this line that can
never be induced to make time after hay
ing seen a white cat cross the track at
night. Such a thing does not happen
very often, but he claims that it never
fails to be the forerunner of some bad
luck, not necessarily to his train. but
somewhere along the line. After seeing
the white cat he always feels his way
along, as it were, and gives as an excuse
for his failure to work up to the schedule
that his engine would not make steam
rapidly enough. The other engineers are
on to him, but they never joke him about
It, as he is extremely sensitive. "-Globe-

DON'T MAKE A MESS or TT.

Au u -NNc' VI .
When a person gets down to figuring
on it there are not many Offices at the dis
posal of the incoming administration in
Wyoming. They include a governor,
secretary, United States attorney, mar
sha!, surveyor general, three Judges and
three registers and receivers of the land
offices, besides one postmaster in each
town. 1t will therefore be readily seen
that the few really good Offices cannot go
very Ear around, and after the wants of a
dozen leading men in the party are salts
fed scarcely a crumb will be left for the
rank and file. If common report is to be
believed there is agood deal of swarming
being done, and we have not yet heard of
any Republican whose ambition is ham
pered by the possibility that he may
be unable to get the very best in the shop.
Men who are rated as being well fitted to
fill some minor Office sniff contemptuously
at tke mention of it and give mysterious
intimation of something much better in
view. In the natural order of things
much bitter disappointment must result,
for many people will be unable to get
what they want and a great many more
will be unable to get anything at all.
That there is a great deal OF crowding
to the front by anxious Office seekers is
more than evident from the tone of an
editorial article in yesterday issue of the
Sun. Republican Office seekers are ad-
vised in so many words to not fall over
each others heels in the mad scramble
for a place, but to await their opportunity
and finally submit their claims to a sort of
board Of arbitration, whose decision on
their comparative fitness will be final.
1t is sad to observe that there should
be any necessity for a:step of this sort.
After having complaeently listened to
Republicans for the past four years we
had about reached the conclusion that
Democrats were the only class of people
who hankered after federal offices. We
now perceive that this was a mistaken
conclusion.
There is no gainsaying the fact, how
ever, that the Sun is on precisely the
right track. 1t may at once be conceded
that there is not an Office in the territory
for every resident in the territory, and
then violent home rule proclivities will
not permit any Wyoming Republicans to
accept an Office elsewhere. Such being
the case if the search for Office degenerates
into an unseemly. scramble, home rule
will be much of the same sort OF a myth
that it always has been.
Republicans and Democrats alike are
united on the subject OF home rule. Every
- lie in Wyoming should prefer to see the
Offices filled with actual residents of the
territory, but if some actual residents go
to undermining the chances of other more
fortunate residents, the usual compromise
OF IN imported appointee will be the
result.
As the Sun advises, it is wise for the
local Republicans to approach the sacred
Office holding portals thoughtfully, not
frivolously.

The latest device for attracting the
attention of possible purchasers which
has been adopted by several Paris shop
keepers is an ''immovabfe boy" Outside
r clothier's, for instance, the hoy" stands
without moving a muscle, and bears on
his carcass the newest fashion in blouses
or corduroys. Passers by are easily at.
tracted by the remarkable figure, which
they take to be an efigy in wax work or
a tableau vivant. The boy has been well
drilled and lives up to his work. He
smiles not, neither does he wink, nor does
he betray by the slightest sign, token or
movement that he has anything in com
mon with the ordinary p%alpitating and
efervescing specimen of humanity, the

Robert Curious contrlvanoes.

Houdin acquired a comfortable compe-
tence by the exercise of mis- art; and he
built a handsome villa at Saint Gervais,
near Blois. When he had retired from
business, he amused himself by introduc-
ing various curious inventions into his
place and the grounds attached to It.
The garden gate was situated some 400
yards from the house. A visitor had only
to raise II diminutive brass knocker, and
let it fall upon the forehead of n fantastic
face-making but a faint sound-when n
large bell was set in motion in the villa.
At the same time the gate swung open
automatically, the plate bearing the name
robert Houdin" disappeared, and an
other took its place, on which was en-
graved the word "Entrez." When the
postman delivered the letters he had
brought he was instructed to drop them
through a slit in the gate into the recep-
tacle provided for this purpose. The
box, directly this was done, started of it's
own accord on its journey to the front
door OF the house by means of a miniature
elevated railway.
Houdin invented, too, an ingenious con.
trivance by which, while lying in bed, he
could feed his horse in a stable fifty Yards
from he villa, for, on touching a small
button, there was put in motion an appa-
ratus that caused the exact portion of
oats required for the animals meal to fall
into the manger from the granary above.
By another curious piece of mechanism O
little bench that stood beside a ravine in
a remote part of the grounds was so con-
structed that Immediately any person sat
down upon it the machine automatically
traversed q narrow bridge that SPAWNED
the gorge, and, having deposited its occu.
pant on the other side, the bench returned
to its original position.-Chambers' Jour
