A FANCY lIAa FROM TEXAS.
Tho biggest Yarn he Ever Told Hap.
rened to He the Frozen Truth.

a party OF men were talking In the Palace
hotel court last evening about liars they had
known Mr. More, Of Pasadena, said he
knew the most picturesque preyaricator on
the Pacific slone "Hs name is Martin
Wobbly Jaw lin." said Mr. More. lend

Of half dollar, and there never were any
black crows where he came from"
where's thatr said Senator Fair, who
had reputation Of has own 10 sustain.
Texas, and that's where Martin had mos.
Of his astounding adventures Ile has told
one story Of a seance with a Texan steer until
think be has forgotten that II is lie. He
says be was working In packing house at
Bryan, and had charge Of the cattle that
came 10 the killing house. One day. accord.
ing.to this weird ronancer, a steer fell down
about hundred yards from the house and
seemed TO be too badly injured to move an
other step. Martin grab1i an ak and went
out 10 kill the animal when be was ten
feet from the steer It jumped up, made rush
for the boss liar Of the bouudless west and
hooked him. One long horn went through
his clothing, grazed his back and passed out
under his collar at the back Of his neck
Martin SAYS be had on a new suit Of oilsLins
and that he was carried 800 yards on the
steers head, shouting for the people e get
out o. his way and brandisliing the ak
The crazy steer bo.ted IN among the other
cattle, stampeded the herd and beloved in
way that nobody but this dandy liar ever
heard before Suddenly the oilskins gave
way aud Martin, the monumental, came u
the ground, but he swung his ak as he fell
aud killed the steer with one blow lie wasn't
hurt bit, and when the boys rem up TO him
calmly said; 'You bet I amt no slouch.
Now, that man IS the best all round liar |
ever knew. Show better and III treat"

"Nes, he did. He always gives names,
places and dates as straight as a string. Let
me see. The mans name was Alexander,

"Wol, gentlemen" said Mr. G. vs. Alex

I'm the man Tor whom Martin was working.

DisgIaceful Sectionalism

The more the Mills bill is scrutniIed.
the more clearly it is seen to be an Elk
tremely sectional measure. utterly I'M
worthy of the support of any fair-mnded
American. 1t is fraud in what il claims
to be-a bill for the welfare of the peo-
pie and for large reduction of the reye-
nues. There is no certain evidence that
il would reduce the aggregate revenues
at all, for by its tendency to increase inn
portations the total amount of duties
collected might be rs large As under the
present laws. 1t reduces the revenues at
most from 5000, 600 to $1,000. 900, and
takes off the customs duties from eight t.
fifteen cents per capita, while it destroys
the protection of an American product In
which 2,000,D00 farmers are Interested
1t retains u revenue on sugar to the
amount of nearly $50 .000. 900 per annum,
about one dollar per capita of the
American people, for the benefit of
a small number Of southern planters,
who could be protected quite A. well in
another manner. Ii provides for heavy
duties on southern rice, while it complete
ly removes protection from 4 long list of
of articles produced in the Northern and
Western States \ more outrageous aud
shamefullv sectional measure WAS never
before endorsed by a Democratic majority
In either branch of Congress. Like the
rebel ordinance of secession it is approved
by Bourbon Democrats and the British
Free Trade press. 1t i precisely this
sectional measure which Grover Clevt,-
land helped force through the House of
Representatives by a use of party pressure
and public patronage such a was prac-
ticed in the worst days of Pierce and
Buchanan. 1t is cheering to American
patriots to know that tens OF thousands
of inceuscd Democrats aud united Re-
publican party are TO repudiate Cleveland
and his disgraceful measure in November,

ell in an interview here regarding the politi-
cal situation, said II believe New Jersey

danger lies in the candidacy of General Gin
ton b. Fisk. | feel pretty certain, however,
that he will not hold the strength that many
credit him with. think the attitude of the
Republican party upon the temperance ques-
ton will bring to 1t votes from many of those
who would otherwise have cast their ballots
for the Prohibition nominee If the Third
Party candidate had come from some other
State, we could have cut down the temper
ance vote of 5000 that was cast for Fisk for
Governor to about 5000 and carried the
State
How many votes do you concede to
Fisk
"Oh. about 900, at the most. This would
give the State to Harrison and Norton"
Then as to the Legisature?'
The Democrats will make a vigorous
effort to carry the Legislature, not only to
secure the United States Senator, bu: also to
repeal the High License Local Option law.

out, | cannot see how New Jersey can do
otherwise than vote the Republican ticket
