expressed regret that he had been de.

Judge Edison replied ;-"After the

defeat in the Convention and should

vey's candidacy has changed the re-
publican campaign in indiana from an

adopted, will certainly defeat Hovey

The Judge also said:-"I allowed

Hieh Tux and Low Wages.

The Arlington Mills Of Lawrence,
Mass, advertise for "good weavers
on plain looms," with the assurance
that they "can earn from ~ to SO per
week according 10 their experience
and ability.
The Arlington Mills are in the wool
en- industry and industry whose pro-
ducts are protected by tax of over 80
per cent. on consumers, and "good
weavers" are wanted at from 81 to SO
per week, according to "their exper-
ience and ability"
The newspaper business is an un-
protected industry, and experienced
men in its mechanical department
earn from So to IS per day of eight
hours or less. And not only is the
newspaper publishing an unprotected
industry, but The Times pays fully
$4,000 per year forprotection to the
paper industry, andit has no complaint
to make against that protection,
Why are our highly protected wool
en- industries unable to offer more than
from 81 to SO per week for the best
mechanical skill in weaving? The
Italian laborers OF this city earn as

Jones meets his friend Turner on the

listers his name thusly;
"E. K. Phtholognyrrh."
Jones, noticing it, exclaims! "Here
what are you assuming such foreign, out
landish name for? Are you in any
trouble ?"
"Not bit of it," replies Turner, Sand
am not assuming any foreign name"
"Well, what kind of name is that p
demands Jones.
"That is my identical old name," per
sists Turner, aand it is English, too-pro-
nounced plainly Turner
II can't see how you get Turner, Out
of those thirteen letters, and besides, what
is your object in spelling it that way,
asks Jones.
"Well, you see. nobody ever noticed my
name on the register when l wrote it
Turner" explains the latter, 'but since l
commenced writing it 'Phtholognyrrh' |
put them all to guessing. They wonder
what nation l am from and what my name
is. 1 can now hear people talking about
me all around. 1t is as ! said before, it is
English spelling 'Phth, there is the
sound of It in 'phthisic; 'olo, there is the
sound of 'ur' in colonel; 'gn,' there is the
N in 'gnat' 'yrrh is the sound of 'er' in
'myrrh.' Now, if that don't spell Turner,
what does it spell Chicago Herald.

One That win Bear Telling Again,
From the Toronto World.

From the Toronto World.
A certain fort in the far West, SO the
story goes, was in command of major
of artillery who was constantly lamenting
that his favorite arm could not be more
frequently used against the Indians. Finally,
one day he took one of the small howitzers,
which defended the fort, and had it
securely strapped to the back of an army
mule with the muzzle projecting over the
animals tail With this novel gun carriage
he proceeded in high feather with the
captain and sergeant to bluff on the
bank of the Missouri, near which was
encamped band of friendly Indians. The
gun was duly loaded and primed, the fuse
inserted and the mule backed to the edge
of the bluff. The major remarked some
thing about the moral effect the exhibition
was likely to produce upon the Indian allies,
and stepped gayly forward and applied the
match.
The curiosity of the mule was aroused.
He ierked his head around to see what was
fixing away there on his back, and the
next second his feet were all punched to-
gether and making forty-revolutions min
ute, while the gun was threatening every.
thing under the canopy within radius OF
ten miles with instant destruction. The
captain Skinned up the only available tree.
The sergeant threw himself fat on the
ground and tried to dig hole with his
bayonet to crawl into, while the fat major
rolled over and over in agony, alternately
invoking the protection of Providence and
cursing the mule Finally the explosion
came, the ball going through the roof of
the fort. The recoil of the gun and the
wild leap of the terrified mule carried both
over the bluff to safe anchorage at the
bottom of the river. The discounted
party returned sadly to the fort.
Shortly after the chief of the Indians
appeared and announced briefly: 'Injun
go home"
Questioned as to why, he thus explained;
"Injun YER brave, help white man.
Injun use gun, use bow arrow, use knife;
but when white man fire off whole jackass,
Injun no understand, no think right.
Injun no help um fight that way"

A "Gamey" Bishop.

A few years ago the Episcopal diocese
of Kentucky appeared to be torn up with
dissensions about High and Low Church
views. The bishop unfortunately allowed
his sympathies to be drawn out to one of
the parties as against the other, and there
after, becoming disheartened and discour-
aged, resigned the bishopric
The present bishop, when called to the
diocese, was determined to ignore these
dissensions, and if possible to harmonic
his people, and bring them to the broad,
liberal views of the Church
For some time neither of these parties
were able to discover whether his sympa-
thies were with the one or the other party,
until an occasion presenting itself in a
social circle, IA lady with the curiosity of
the SEX said, Bishop what are your views?
We cannot find out. Are you High
Church or Low Church,"
Instantly the bishop replied, "Madam, l
am High, Low, Jack, and the Game.
1t is needless to add there are no dissen-
sions now. The Game has been won;
Jack is forgotten. High and Low, rich
and poor, are in harmony under his minis
