committee by the clerks. No amendments
were offered, for the reason that they will
not be in order until the consideration of
the bill by paragraphs, which will begin
tomorrow and be continued from day to
day until completed. After adjournment,
but while most of the members were still
present, there was a sharp tilt between
Messrs. Scott and Read Scott mphatically
expressed the opinion to the effect that the
tariff protected and stimulated trusts, and
called special attention to the alleged
steel trust as case in point. He said
he had collected many facts that would
enlighten the public on the subject.
Mr.. Read retorted by advising Mr. e.
Scott, as a friend, not to go into the sub
iect. He challenged him to produce his
facts, and sarcastlcally observed that they
were like goods put up in tin cans, in
tended for immediate consumption, as

MY DEAR GENERAL BussEY: I am in
receipt OF your favor Of the 18th instant.
and feel bound to give you frank reply
on question Of so much importance. In
these supreme times. when SO much Is at
stake IN our national welfare. no Repub
lican can afford to desert the party made
memorable by the nob]est mission. by
the mostherolc achievement on the field
and by the most benedcient results in
legislation to personal liberty, Of private
and public morals and to the cause Of
temperance, Of which you specially write.
As q acltizen whose duties am bound to
discharge, and. as q life long Republican
proud Of the history of our party and as.
suredof It's glorious future, give you
an emphatic denial of the report that I
had Joined the third party. The thought
has nevcrentered my mind, and no one
has the right to assert that l had. On
the question, Of prohibition we are in &C:
cord; on the methods to attain that de.
sirable end we differ. The final triumph
of temperance principles is with the Re-
publicans, who have done so much for
temperance legislation in all parts of our
country. And this is the apparent con-
viction OF the people meet in my trav-
els. Whether clergymen or laYmen,
whether In the church or out, patriotism,
gratitude, temperance, should inspire
every Republican with new zeal, should
induce any who have left the party to re-
turn at once, and should give decision to
those who may now hesitate as to duty.
The supreme duty is to place the control
Of our government in the hands of Har-
rison and Merton. I vote as I pray and
pray as I vote. Your friend,

is in fact, conditional bill Of sale.
Don't transcend your authority as
agent, or you will become personally
| responsible.
Don 60 into firm already consti-
tuted unless you expect to be Liable for
its debts.
Don pay off mortgage until you
receive properly executed satisfaction
piece.
Don't take note after 1t has matur-
ed, unless you expect to meet all the
ordinary defences.
Don't think that an infants neglect
to repudiate contract when he be-
comes of age, will ratify it.
Don t expect to construe an impor-
tant or difficult trust without the advice
and consent of the court.
Don't erect a building upon founda-
tions sunken into the ground, or it will
become part of the realty.
Don't accept chattle mortgage un-
less the schedule annexed contains
every article to be covered by the lien.
Don't imagine that mere joint pur-
chase by two or more, each receiving
his share, constitutes partnership.
Don't think that promise to marry
will be void because no time is fixed.
The law will allow reasonable time.
Don't acknowledge a man as an
agent unless he can show that he stands
in his principal s shoes as to the buisi-
ness in hand.
Don take title where there is
judgment against man of the same
name as your grantor, without conclu-
sive proof that he is not the Judgment
debtor
Don hold paper or account an un-
reasonable time, or you will be presum-
ed to admit its correctness.
Don't forget that promissory note
in the hands of innocent third parties
for value, shuts out all defences usually
made on contracts.
No past popularity no fame earned
by lifetime will avail if men do not
keep to the front and keep up the
stroke.
Reputation is as good as capital;
character is better Reputation is
whan man passes for; character is

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN

And then, remember, my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle a
pick or pen, wheelbarrow or set
of books, digging bitches or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell or writ
ing funny things, you must work. If
you look around you, son, you will see
that men who are most able to live the
rest of their days without work are
men that work the hardest. Don't be
afraid OF killing yourself with work nv
son. tits beyond your power to do
that. Men cannot work so hard as that
on the sunny side of 30. They die
sometimes, but it, because they quit
work ate p m. and don't 90 home until
"a. IN. It's the interval that kills.
Work gives an appetite for meals: it
gives the appreciation of holiday.
There are young men that do not work
my son, but the world is not proud Of
them. 1t does not even know their
names; 1t simply speaks of them as old
So-and- Sos boys. Nobody likes them.
nobody hates them, the great. busy
world dosent even know that they are
there. So find out what you want to
be and do, son, and take off your coat
and make dust iu the world. The
ousler you are the less deviltry you will |
be apt to get into, the sweeter will he
your sleep. the brighter and happier
your holidays, and the better satisfied |
will the world be with you.-Hawkeye. |

The Japanese Warrior Who Restored the

Boston Herald,

The Japanese Warrior Who Restored the
Mikado to Power.
Boston Herald
Late reports from Japan announce the
death in that country of one OF the most
noted Japanese of the present century,
a man remarkable from the fact that he
started revolution which brought about
results Numerically opposite TO those
which it ha been his intention 20 secure.
The name of this important parsonage
during the late feuda period of Japan
was Shimadzu Saburo, the head of what
was the Satsuma clan, the largest and
most powerful tribal organization in that
empire; so large indeed, that It's chieftain
was able, in the space of few days, to
put into the field $4,000 vel-eGuipped and
well-trained soldiers. In 1862, four years
after his accession 60 the headship of his
family, Shima6zu conceived the idea of
bringing the Mikado OF japan, the
imperial head OF the japanese govern
ment, from the retirement in which he
and his predossators for several genera
tions had been kept by the ShoRuns or
| Tycoons, the great Hereditary ministers
that, in the name of their sovereign, had
exercised autocratic power at Heddo, the
political capital of the country.
1t was Shimadzu's opinion that the
| Shotgun had begn altogether too much
contaminated By foreign customs, and
| that it was necessary for the safety Of
| the country 60 depose him from his high
office, restor TO practical government the
/ Legitimate ruler, whose rights had
been usurped, and who would prociico
/ that conservative policy which behtted Il
| Japanese monarch.
/ By his political and military power,
/ Stimad2u succeeded IN carrying out his
undertaking. The Shoeun was driven
into retirement and the Mikado came TO
Yeddo and took public control OF affairs;
/ but instead of becoming re0cl0nary ia
his IDEAS and appointing Shimad2u his
prime minister, instructing him TO drive
! al foreigners out OF the empire and
restoring again the old customs of non
Intercourse the Mikado entered upon a
progressive, developing policy, with the
idea OF making Japan one of the sister
hood of great civilized nations.
This led after time, 20 an attempted
rebellion, not by Shimdzu himself, but By
his immediate followers-an uprising
which was put down in consequence OF
the skill which the Japanese soldiers of
the imperial army had acquired in the
art of civilized warfare. With this mill
tary defeat the old feudal system of
Japan went to pieces, aud for several
years past its last great representative
has lived in retirement, oherishing the
belief chat, through a mistaken act OF bis
own, he had placed his country on this
high road to ruin.
