PLEA FOR "HISONER."

The Many Cinders Which Fall From
the Public Upon His Furnace.
The newspapers and correspondents
are lighting on Call-a-gan like clam
diggers on q stranded oyster. This is
peculiar, for he is a good fellow-when
he's asleep. But he doesn't sleep much.
Poor fellow my heart goes out to him
like Q perforated nickel to blind
Aztec. Though he kindly relieves the
Gringoes Of the cares of Office, and only
asks them to pay the taxes. still they
complain because he does not whiten
the administration with them. while the
Foltecs croak like the bull frogs
on Main plaza because ne doesn't
depopulate Mexico for policemen.
No wonder he is seen so
often pulling his last years moustaohe.
The negroes also complain because he
does not whittle them out school
house. or course he Is not in the whit
ling business, though he might give
them the bat cave when he perpetrates
the city hall. They want to get smart
so they can cheat each other like white
folks, but smartnees doesn't 60 with
hisoner because he smsrts under 1t him
self, particularly when it's In the shape
of fist that looks like cotton bale and
as full of bones as q cemetery. They
can, however, learn their letters on cleo
ton tickets, and graduate on plscards,
sign boards, box cars and ience-legends.
After q course in these he will give
them anything they want provided
they want nothing. This is fair, for
whatever B. Ryan does, ia fair even II IT
isn't fair.
The author of Timothy Winebruiser
sets down on him like an elephant on
tortiilo, for crawling Crockett street
without consulting the council. Why
should he consult them? Is he not the
council himself? And what are they for,
anyway, but to lock their jaws, look
wise, draw their pay and pelt the frogs
that sing municipal doxologies on the
plazas. The alderman fOrgets that
"hisoner" is one Of those fellows that
does not have to.
When the town sinks down at the
corners he jacks 1t up with frijole pres
sure. When an amigo wrestles with u
lamp post. catch-as-catob-can, or tries
to light his cigarette with burnt finger.
he inserts him in the bat cave -coD-pers
him, as it were, but plays him open in
the morning.
When Call-a-gan wants anything the
Gringo gives 1t to him, and when the
Gringo wants anything Call-a-gan gives
1t to bin in the neck. Yet people who
have been here only all their lives kick
because he out-shuffies them and turns
up too many black trumps. Suppose he
does: they should learn the game and
play 1t, as he does, for everything in
sight and reach into the dark for more.

Shall Women Be Allowed to Vote?

The question of female suffrage has agitat-
ed the tongues and pens of reformers for
many years, and good arguments have been
adduced for and against it. Many OF the soft
would vote as their husbands did and give no
thought to the merits of political issue.
They would all vote for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, for they know it is boon to
their sex. 1t is unequalled for the cure OF
leucorrhea, abnormal discharges, morning
sickness, and the countless ills to which wo-
men are subject. 1t is the only remedy for
woman's peculiar weaknesses and ailments,

amazement. Consumption is at last acknowl-

SYMPTOMS.

Pains.-But penalty must be paid, and
the same is realized in a sudden, acute
pain or a stubborn, logged ache. Those
which affiict the back are the most
insidious or subtitle. They come at
times without warning; we rise from a
sitting or leaning posture to find the
back so crippled or strained as to cause
acute suffering; and this is the precursor
ot IumbaCO

LU M B AGO.

CarriaGc.-Why so many deviate from
graceful carriage may be accounted
for in as many ways as there are mis-
shaI IN beings, and even the common
neglect of moderate exercise by lazy
mUrtals is often the cause Of lame backs.
MUSCULAR WEAKNESS.
Lame Eack.-The spinal column is the
main-stay of the body, which stitfens
up the straight man or woman, and
nature has provided muscular supports
to hold it erect with ease. All muscular
weakness is at once either an indication
that the muscles are relaxed or over
strained.
TWISTED OUT OF SHAPE.
DistortionS.-Men and women recklessly
twist themselves out of shape, and the
folies of fashion and the greater tollies
of luxury, persisted in, result in the
few standing straight and the many
bending down. Stern necessity also is
the cruel parent of the worst cases OF
bodily distortions.

He Says England Does Not Want
the United States to Adopt a
Free Trade Policy.
BosToN, Dec. 6.-Hon. James Russell
Lowell was interviewed to-day. When
questioned as to what the real feeling
of the English government and people
was during the progress Of our presi-
dental campaign, Mr.. Lowell said that
upon the occasion of a former sojourn
on the other side he had gained the I'M
preston that English manufacturers
were disposed to look with disfavor
upon the idea OF the adoption of tariff
reform or a free trade policy by the
United States government. The conf
dent assertions that the contrary was
true which had been SO persistently
made by prOtectioniSt organs in this
country had led him to pursue his in
Quiries further this summer, and the re-
suit had been such as to confirm his
original impressions. He thought that
the English manufacturers felt that our
manufacturers would be able to COM
pete with them much more successfully
if such policy were adopted. Asked
as to how President Cleveland's retalia-
ton message was regarded IN London,
he said that it was not understood there.
He thought the newspapers and people
there failed to have an Intelligent I'M
derstanding of our politics. 1t was
about on par with our people here
thinking that Englishmen always
dropped their HIS. He failed to see
what ether course the president could
have taken, as the opposition left him
no alternative.

MINERAL WEALTH.

lake Superior iron Ore Trade for
1888 Exceeds i'm Magnitude all
Others in the History of the
Region.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. Dec. 6.-The Iron
Trade Review, in its annual summary
of the Lake Superior iron ore trade, will
say tomorrow that the year 1883 eX-
ceeded all others in the thirty-two years
history OF that region, not only in
amount of production but also in mag
nltude OF rates. Of the 100000 tons of
ore mined in the Lake Superior district
in 1888, 1866, $50 gross tons were sold for
delivery at Lake Erie ports, and the
balance for delivery at Lake Michigan
and western points. The sales for
lower lake delivery exceeded those for
1887 by 1853. 1913 tons, or nearly sixty
per cent. The close of navigation in
1887 saw 100000 tons of unsold ore at
Lake Erie ports. All of this has since
been sold and the entire seasons
receipts in addition, except 167, 800 tons,
mostlS odd lots. In other words, the
unSold ore amounts to but 35-1O0 per
cent of the total output, or AZ per
cent Of the ore shipped to lower lake
ports. The amount of iron ore on dock
at Lake Erie ports at the opening OF
navigation this year was 703, 120 tons.
Total receipts at all Lake Erie ports for
the season just closed were 1888. $50,
making a total of 4,4S7, 307 tons. Of this
amount there was shipped to furnaces,
by rail, during the season ended Dec. l,
2,63S, 1874 tons, leaving on dock at Lake
Erie ports Dec. l, 1.S4S,555 tons. The
receipts by ports for the season were as
follows: Toledo, 1861 tons; Sandusky,
154,924 tons; Huron, 1851 tons; Lorain,
1g1 900 tons; Cleveland, 81, 795 tons;
Fairport, Gil, 140 tons; Ashtabula, ,2s3.-
$50 sons; Erie, 240, 33S tons; Buffalo,
100000 tons. The noteworthy facts in
the above figures are that Ashtabula
this year steps to the front, leaving
Cleveland second, and the sudden leap
taken by Buffalo from 2S,G99 tons in
1851 to 24o,oGo IN 1883, caused by the in
ores to eastern furnaces

Dor Has Membership OF Nearly
Three-Quarters of a Million,

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 6.-The third
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor. to be held at st.
Louis, commencing next Tuesday,
promises to be one of the most impor-
tant labor meetings held this year. Es-
pecial interest attaches to the conven-
ton, as the federation has made such
wonderful strides within compare
lively recent time. A couple of years
ago, with but few members, it was
alluded to as the infant rival of the
Knights Of Labor. To-day it has 625. 600
members, and it is thought nearly 1OO.-
600 more will be added at the coming
convention by the admission of all the
organized miners. 1t was learned to-
day that an mportantresolution regard
ing assessments is likely to be passed.
This will provide that each member be
assessed cents per week. which would
in short time amount to large fund.
1t is proposed that a law be passed that
if trades union is in trouble and needs
assistance that the general head of the
federation be appealed to, and this fund
be drawn upon to help such trades.

Caught Masoueradfng.

There was an amusing scene at police
headquarters about IL o'clock last evening,
when Patrolman Mclaughlin brought in
couple he had found masquerading on the
street. The girl, who, by the way, possessed
a remarkably fine form, wore tight-httlng
pair of pantalooDs, a light coat and vest and a
jaunty fur cap, while her companion. young
man weighing in the neigborbood of 200
pounds, wore flowing black dress and
neatly stuffed blue waist. A handkerchief
concealed his short hair. When brought
into the station the girl endeavored to rub a
burnt cork moustache from her lip but
failed. They had been to a masquerade ball
at Freya hall they said, and were simply
going home when picked up by the officer:
they were frightened almost to death, they
were allowed to go. with warning never to
do it again.
