GOOD ADVICE.
IFrom the Pittsburg Post. I

Republican workmen should take n
table of wages in this and foreign
countries and go over 1t, checking off,
opposite the figures, "protection," ''free
trade" "partial protectlon," area. pop.
ulation to square mile, etc, and when
done analyze the work. Some of them
would be surprised at the result, and
not be so strongly republican.

GOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASONS,
From Youths Companion.l

ITT"HH "Ut" O"'"P
A noted Sunday school worker hv-
ing in Kansas was once asked to talk
to the children of a Sunday school on
the subject of temperance. lie Is
earnest IN the cause and wears a bit OF
blue ribbon as a badge OF his princi-
pies.
Rising before the school, he pointed
to his bit OF blue ribbon and said:
"Now, can any one OF you children
give me a reason why am not a
drunkard?'
There was no reply for a moment
then a childish voice in the rear OF the
room piped out: ;,
"'Cause this is a prohibition town."

BANKRUPTED BY LAWSUITS.

Lawsuits growing out of the sale OF
five calves worth $l5 ten years ago are
still before the courts at Waterloo,
Iowa, and the litiganls have been
bankrupted by costs. The case re-
minds us of the picture OF the cow,
with the litigants pulling at the horns
and tail while the law yers are quietly
pumping out the milk. 1t also re-
minds us of the tariff COW, with her
mouth in the west receiving food al
the hands of the consumers of Anieri-
can manufactures. and her udder in
the east, where the milk, cream and
schmeer- kase are being enjoyed by the
protected barons

THE Waco Day will not retire into the
shades because its plea for woman rep
resentation in the Methodist church is
criticised adversely. The Day returns
to the attack and says;
1.-The Days plea for the admission of
women as lay delegates in the Methodist
conference has been criticized as I'M
scriptural, St. Paul having said some
thing about women keeping silence in
church. Paul also discouraged mar
rage, ridiculed chOrt-haired women,
and was altogether wuat the schoolboys
call mysogamist. The Day is not the
first kicker against Paul's philosophy.
There has been a long line of protest
from the days OF Mrs. John Wesley
down to Sister Sussn B. Anthony, and
the Methodist church has done as much
to liberate woman from her ancient
thraldom as any sin gle influence in our
civilization"
Paul was told in that early vision
through which his conversion was
wrought, that at is hard for thee to
kick against the pricks." The great
bachelor OF the apostolic church would
have found the old warning hold true
had he bucked against the woman of
the nineteenth century.

Republicans Who are Willing.

Whom will the republicans nominate !! This is an opportune question. The woods seem to be full of candidates. There is eX- Mayor Wales H. Lines of Meriden, Lorin M Hubbard of Wallingford, the present secretary of state; ex-Senator Graham of Orange and Judge Jeremiah B. Quillinan of Derby, whose boom received quite an impetus last evening, He is an Irishman and the Irish-American democrats, who are sore over Pigott s defeat, have in him a man for whom they can vote. He can be endorsed by the rish-Americans, and the republicans would go into the campaign with candidate whom they could elect with a whoop. These are all New Haven county men. Middlesex has a candidate in ex-Senator Oscar Leach of Durham, a we'll known republican. Ex-Senator o. V. Coffin of Middletown is another name mentioned. If Steven w. Kellogg of Waterbury consents to run, he can be nominated unanimously, and will give the democrats a hard row to hoe.

To be Tried Soon.

Mrs George R. Johnson, who is charged with the murder of her husband at Stafford Springs last April, will be tried before the next term of the superior court in Holland county. The circumstances of the case are very peculiar, especially since no cause can be assigned for the act. Johnson awoke about midnight on the night of the murder feeling a peculiar numbness about the limbs. Medical aid was summoned, and to his horror the doctor discovered bullet wound on the right side, about two inches from the spine. The sheriff was called, and Mrs Johnson was searched. A small revolver was found strapped to her leg ir a peculiar way. Why she should wish her husbands death is unknown.
