FIXING DATES

There is quite number of Indians
located ct the Thousand Islands, in the
st. Lawrence River, who work on
baskets and trinkets, their numerical
strength in summer being augmented
by others from Canada. Yesterday

In the pleasure of meeting, their traps
We're forgotten till the boats lines had
been cast loose and she was about to
continue her trip. Then the hubbub
commenced gargon and gestures,
which resulted in the bundles being
fired over the rail on to the dock in a
damaged condition. One of the squaws
had baby in her arms and she was
asked how old the little boy was.
"Him little GIRL" said she.
"How old is she?'
"Him years."
"Oh, no; he isn't l year old"
Then one of the bucks spoke up ::
Him 5 months old; him born week go

A MAN out West fell dead at the din

ness to her eyes and the wind had
tangledher blonde hair about her fore

Kitty hurriedly wrote as follows:

The young operator read the dispatch,
then a look of amazement crossed his
face.

"Kale Pardon, the escaped forger!
Kitty, you haven't got him in your

NO." replied Kitty, laughing. "You
remember our mysterious boarder, do
you not? Well, Percy, she's the man. :"
! Goodness, nor calculated her young

"She's some man, anyhow" insisted
Kitty. "Now, Percy. you must not

"You can trust me-" declared Percy
Andrews. II hope you may get the re-

Chief Of Police doesn't know you, and it
will give it more reliable look"
"Thank you" Kitty said, with a~smile
that set his heart to f1uttering.
He was very fond OF her, you see, and
he had a suspicion that she was some

some, reliable, promising young fellow.
Nine o'clock the next morning an
officer arrived at the farmhouse and az
rested the pretended widow. The man
neither denied his identity nor offered
resistance. He was surprised that he
had been discovered, but i'll no wise
suspected Kitty. .
"Why, it's just wonderful! !" exclaimed
Mrs. Brice. '"You are the cunningest

SURsTITUYIOS Foe THE HITCHING
POST.
Joseph Howard, OF this town, has given
us a new and, as he says, most useful
hint in the art of hitching horses. In
stead of the usual head or neck halter,
he carries in the wagon short piece OF
half-inch cord, looped. When he wishes
TO leave his horse this cord is used to
tie the fore legs together just below the
knees. and when so tied you are sure to
find your horse just where you left him.
The horse doesn't dare to move; the
cord is easily adjusted, and the case
often occurs that you wish to hitch
horse where no post is found, as in a
a having field or city street. Besides
e soon teaches the horse to stand with
ont being hitched at all.

BROKEN TO THE HOPE

IL is now seen that mine owners, manu-.
iacturers and all employers of labor have no
more difficulty in securing cheap foreign
labor than before the passage of the act rel
alive to the same. 1t is claimed that the
farmers of New England are employing at
this time 1000 "f these cheap hands, fur
nished by single New York agency, which
collects aud retains the lions share of the
small wages paid, leaving the poor laborers
little butthe food they eat And while en-
they need, it is asserted there are thousands
of Italians and other foreigners in New
York in starving condition because they
get work at any price. These facts,
which wonld appear to be ndisputable, in
dictate that the law in itself is OF no value,
and its passage was u promise to the ears of
American workingmen to be broken to the
hope.
The combination of forces operating to
maintain the present flood of cheap foreign
labor is powerful one. The poor immi-
grants wish TO come because any change
must be iur the better. Their home gov
ernulents are anxious to get rid of them,
even To the extent of paying their passage,
if necessary. The steamship and railway
companies want to bring them for the profit
upon their transportation and the padrones
and other labor contractors are desirous of
large surplus of this halfstarved labor in
order that they may grow rich by driving
hard bargains with it,
The Inter State Commerce Commission re-
Gently investigated one phase Of this busi.
ness-that of the relation of the steamship
and railway lines to it. From this it seems
that agents are paid premiums To procure
passengers, and that no restrictions are laid
upon the promises that may be made 10 the
emmigrants. Ii the agents tell their vic
Tins that the streets Of American cities are
paved with gold the steamship companies

lions of their agents good after their pas.

by high tariff duties, while cheap immigra-

A SAD PICTURE.

The picture OF Samuel j. Randal's dis
content and illness is surely sad one. The
man who has for SO many years held the
American purse relinquishes power with a
!crusliing sense Of the calamities that high
tariff policy has brought upon him.
TO no other man do the people owe greater
personal respect. No man has served them
50 well for 80 little money. II Randall had
Represented Western constituency his lot
10 day would be pleasant. But for twenty
years he has believed that the nation must
be governed from New York and Philadel-
phia Seven men chosen from these cities
have generally vised the entire finances of
Union. Randall has clung to the dogma
that the Union must be governed from Wall
street and Philadelphia. Whatever were
good for them would be good for the United
States
On his sick bed he believes himself fallen
under the displeasure of his own party. At
his skirts, as acolytes, group only Pedcock,
McAdoo, Snowden and the rest-names un-
lovely of sound and without Randalrs true
greatness 10 relieve the dlstaste winch their
treacherous records arouse. Had Randall
served his party as faithfully as he has
served the Iron masters of his State he would
not now be naked to his enemies. His fault
is great. He has persistently put upon the
people taxation which in his honesty lie
would not allow the robbers to spend. When
the masses have cried out for relief he Has
given them the oleomargarine tax When
the President answered to that voice, Ran
dsll attempted the Presidents overthrow.
Great as he is, full of probity as he is,
Randall has been wofully wrong. He has
staked all against the interests of the nation
and for the interests of Pennsylvania. He has
lost. Everybody plties his fate, yet few
would change it,

-AERALD OF THE ISSUE

Tie argument that because President

OF the tariff he is lrce-trader and recon-
mended policy Of free trade is supremely
silly. Those who make Il do 50 because Of
cowardice They are afraid To have the
people understand the truth. They fear to
face the real issue.
President Cleveland advised reduction
of the existing AZ per cent. tariff, on the
grounds that it is producing redundant rev
ennes, and thai a system Of taxation that
extorls from the people money that the gov
ernment has no need of is rank injustice
and robbery. Upon that proposition the
President aud the Democratic party stand,
and Il Is one that Republicans know To be
sound, and they do not want To discnss it.
rhey know that the people will agree with
the President upon this proposition, and
their purpose Is to evade IT, Hence the false
assertion that the President is declaring
against policy Of unnecessary and there
