THE ACTION of the Chicago convention
makes it the more certain that the coming
political campaign is to be fought, not for
men, but for measures. As the democratic
measures are the retention of the tax on
luxuries, and the removal of the tax on raw
material and the necessaries of life, SO as to
cheaper the cost of living, and increase the
demand and price of labor by opening the
mark ets of the world to American products,
and to obiterste the animosities of inter-
nicene strife, while those of the republicans
are directly the reverse, and besides. to
make whisky free. there can hardly be a
doubt that most reasonable. humane and
patriotic men will support the former.

SENATOR INGALLS, says the tariff will not
be the chief issue of the political campaign
lust beginning, but that the chief issue OF
the campaign will be whether the country
shall be under the control Of those who pre-
served it, or under that of the Southern
bourbons and brigadiers, and that to settle
that question the solid North must Dc OPP
posed to the solid South-or words to that
effect. This looks very much as If the re-
publican leaders are afraid of the tariff, and
are attempting to rally their Emphatic foi-
lowers upon issues which appeal to their
passion and prejudice rather than to their
reason and interest. The chief question OF
the campaign. whether the republicans VIII
have it SO or not, will be the tariff, and all
the voters need to make them decide it in
the right way is that they shall understand
it correctly.

Cbeap Refreshment in Paris.

Paris is trying an experiment which has
long ago been found to answer IN Italy. On
one of the boulevards a new establishment
has been opened for the personal comfort Of
Parfsians. You can wash your hands, have
your clothes brushed, your boots cleaned.
You can write your letters. Paper, pens,
ink, etc, are at your disposal. In one room
areau the newspapers not merely of Paris and
the provinces, but of ali the great cont
mental capitals A third room is devoted 20
works of reference, encyclopedias, diction-
aries and directories. There are telephone
and postotIice, and all this is open 70 any
passerby who pays half franc admission.
The Italian idea did not so quite 50 far,
but il some respects it was more useful. It
was no, private speculation, but Q govern
ment concern. II fact, it was part CT the
working Of the postal system of the country.
\ GU paid penny entrance fee and found al
the means Of writing AID all tne information
you might need at hand. You buy paper
at cost price end have the use Of writing ma
teriais gratuitously. The French Institution
is a speculation, and If the building Just
opeued on the Boulevard Mont-nartre succeed
nc doubt we snall see others established 81

Hunting the Alligator.

Since it was discovered that alligator hide
makes excellent leather for foot wear, purses,
hand bags and other articles, the alligator
has had a hard time of It,
The common and most effective mode Of
hunting the alligator, says Golden Days, is
the same as Devastating. Two generally
hunt together in canoe, one sitting in the
stern padding, the other standing at the
bow with bulls eye fastened to his head.
They move on cautiously, the one in front
coaching the course by slow motions of his
hand.
Hist a warning hand is appraised, the mo-
ton OF tho paddle ceases, and the canoe
glides on almost imperceptibly, the slight
ripple at the bow being the only sound heard
The one with the rifle, a 44calibre Win
chester, slowly raises his weapon, peering ex-
pectautly forward, now to one side, then an
other Suddenly CLEAN Is seen ahead like
a coal Of fire shining through the darkness,
and the appraised rife belches forth a stream
Of fire.
A confused thrashing and perhaps deep
below follows; then all is still. If killed,
the alligator sinks at once if wounded, he
makes off to deep water. In either case the
hunters go ahead to seek for another victim
The next day they begin their lookout for
their game. When killed, the alligators sink
ut once, but the gases in the body bring
them up in from six to ten hours. The skins
are carefully taken off, and the teeth are Sc
cured if there Is time, while the carcasses are
left for the buzzards.

Can Dogs Reason?

Can dogs reasonR has often been asked. Do
not the following stories answer the ques-
tions
When was In India had a small, rough
terrier. When he was given a bone he was
sent to eat it on the gravel drive, under all
open porch, in front Of the bungalow. Sew
eral times two crows had tried to snatch the
dainty morsel, but their plans were easily de-
faated by 'Topsy's growls and swapping
teeth. Away flew the crows to the branch
of tree near by After few moments of
evident discussion they proceeded to carry
put the plan Of attack. One crow few down
to the ground and gave peck at the end Of
the dogs tail. ''Topsy" at once turned to re-
sent this attack In the rear, while the other
crow few down and bore the bone away in
triumph.
The same dog had a favorite resting place
In an easy chair. A dog which came as a
visitor to the house liked the same place, and
often took it. Topsy did not approve Of
this, and his attempts to regain her seat
we're met with gro~E and bites. One day,
IS usual, the intruder established himself in
the chair, which was close to the open door,
Yopsy looked on for moment, and then flew
savagely out OF doors, barking at supposed
enemy. Out ran the other dog to see what
was the matter, and back came Topsy to take
possession Of her favorite seat The other
dog came slowly back ard curled himself up
in a far OFF corner. / saw this myself, SO
know it was true.

Deposit of the Great Htrcx

The average discharge from the Missouri
Tito the Mississippi il estimated at 40 cubic
feet per second This would be $50, 0o0 cubic
yards per day, and $50 0oO, 900 of cubic yards
per year. at food stage the sediment has
reached the enormous amount CT l.OOo. 600
of cubic yards in one day. This would make
a bank twenty-three miles long and 100
square yards across, and ], 600 miles CT such
levee in year. When the united rivers
pour into the gulf the output Of sell annually
is twice the above amount The meaning Of
such figures it is impossible to measure. One
hundred and fifty cubic miles Of the cont
nent tumbled annually into the sea by one
water shed. The wear end waste Of cult
vatable soil is enormous But tho great prob
lem for man is how to control the mud laden
waters SO that they shall not destroy ruth
