Gov. Hill, of New York, and candi-
date for president, is at once a protec-
zionist and free trader, a saloon man
and temperance advocate, a friend of
honest elections and vetoer of ballot

to convince you that he isn't of the
kind, fit to hold any Office, let alone the
highest in the gift of the people?

Recently a lineman in the employ of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany met with terrible death in New
York City. While he was high up on
a telegraph pole for the purpose of cut
ting .'dead' electric wires, his right
hand suddenly came in accidental con-
tact with a wire which was charged
with the awful and subtle fluid. Unless
than second blue flame fickered
acros his hand. Then convulsive
movement flung his helpless head up
ward SO that another wire caught him
under the chin, while third pressed
tself against his lips. And thus for
nearly an hour he was the sport Of
those mysterious currents which electric
experts say will not kill murderers.
More than 5000 persons saw his awful
writings and suferings as he hung
there, emitting smoke and flames from
his face, hands and feet. When his
dead body was finally let down the ex-
element among those who had wit
messed the awful scene was intense,
and the affair has greatly enhanced the
popular sentiment demanding the re-
moval or burial of the deadly wires.

It is stated that the Nevada legisla-

for the establishment of state lottery
in case Congress fails to make liberal
appropriation for the establishment of

are pushing the lottery project, offer as
a condition of receiving a charter to
give $4,000 year to the state for wa
ter storage and irrigation. The offer is
very alluring just at the present time,
as stock is dying and mills cannot run
for half the year from lack of water.

y Prohibition in North and South Da-
kota seems to have been resorted to as
a business measure. The dealers of
those states, although opposed to it in
principle, were led to endorse it with
the belief that it would protect them,
for under existing circumstances the
merchants are unable to get hold of
any money and the credit system with
them is a forced one. All the farmers
and working men drink up their earn
ings and depend upon the future to set
tie their debts. For this reason the mer-
chants and professional men voted for
prohibition and carried it. The same
class say they. will enforce it.

Washington dispatches claim that
the presidentin his forthcoming message
will recommend revision of the tariff.
They also infer that he has beea infu-
enced in this direction by Secretaries
Blaine and Window, the first of whom,
it is given out, considers the tariff ques-
ton as Of paramount importance in the
Legislation of the next congress. To
meet the popular demand in certain
quarters for tariff revision, without dis
turbing the welfare of any established
industry, was one of the promises of
the last campaign and it would be a
wise stroke of policy for the republi-
cans were they to tackle this piece Of
Legislation in preference to all others of
OF whatever Importance. It would
give the people confidence in the
party and its good intentions, even
to the extent of securing their sup
port in other enterprises. and, if, as
the dispatches say, it is true that
these are Mr.. Blaine's views, we may
depend on seeing them executed.

1hs Gorgeous Arizona Cactus.

Foremost among the sights which
call forth exclamations Of astonishment
from the tourist Is that Of the gorgeous
cactus of Arizona Territory. Like other
tropical productions, it is totally unlike
any ~preconceived notions of what ma
ture could design, The plant is leai-
less; having a bare, lleshy stock, pro-
tected everywhere by sharp and ven
omous barbs, Its flowers are considered
among the choicest, varying from white
and yellow to deep crimson or purple
These blossoms call to mind Alladin's
tabled experience among the larry
plants, with their sparkling fruit OF
diamonds and other gems. The frult
is e~gg-shaped, with Il crown on the
upper side, and presenting as varied
colors as the flowers. In different spe-
cies, the fruit in size is all the way up
from a canary's to an ostrich's egg.
The cactus is almost imperishable, and
can live many months without water,
although it is only seen in its perfec-
ton under a plentiful supply. So hardy
is the plant that a piece from any part
will take root and grow II placed in the
ground, eyen though it has lain around
for a time. 1t thriyes equally well on

A stupendous memory, of which nu-

WING A GOVERNOR,


How the People Of Connecticut Retelled
Against Tyranny in 1903.
Long before the war by which the
thirteen American colonies became in.
dependent States, they were often en-.
gagged in struggles to prevent royal
Governors from encroaching on their
rights and privileges. In the autumn
of 1893, Governor Fletcher, of New
York, went to Hartford to assert there
his authority as commander-in-chief of
the militia OF Connecticut.
The royal commission had entrusted
him with large powers over the militia
OF the colony, and he ordered it out,
though the season for parades had
ended, and the charter Of Connecticut
denied his jurisdiction.
al will not set my foot out of this
colony" said Fletcher, haughtily, TO
the Governor. "until | have seen his
Majesty's commission obeyed."
The Connecticut Governor Yielded
so far as to order Captain Wadsworth
TO call out the train-bands Of Hartford.
The result Is described in Lossing's
History of the Empire State" =
When the troops were assembled.
Fletcher stepped forward to take conf
mand and ordered his aid to read his
Excellency's commission. Captain
WadswOrth ordered the drums to be
beaten.
"Silence" angrily cried Fletcher,
and the aid began to read.
Drum. drum!" shouted Wadsworth,
and the roll OF the drums drowned the
aids voice.
"Silence" again cried the enraged
Governor, and threatened the Captain
with punishment.
Wadsworth stepped in front of the
furious Governor, rested his hand on
his sword, and said, calmly: III nv
drummers are interrupted again III
make the sunlight show thro ugh youl
We deny and defy your authority"
The Governor folded up his COM
mission, returned to New York, and
to the King Of his treat
ment; but nothing came Of his COM
plaint.-Youth's Companion.

the Directoire Craze.
We are upon the eve of an ultra
change in dress. The tendencies OF
fashion have been indicated before,
but what has previously been merely
a tendency becomes now the prevail
ing mode, which sweeps away all rem
nant of the draperies and bouffant
styles of the past. All the plates
shown for spring thus far are Direct.
ORE in the extreme sense of the word.
The only concession to the past is the
retention of the t%ournure, though in a
modified form. 1t is quite probable,
however, that bustles will be entirely
abandoned for summer gowns.
The first woolens which will be Sc
lected for early spring gowns are light
soft serge with a perceptible twill.
The woolens are imported in II variety
OF artistic old colors revived from the
Directoire period and notably in natu-
raj grays and suede colors. Green. in
the new blush cast called dragon
green. and in the already familiar
grayish greens known as Empire, will
continue to be popular. Rosewood
brown, copper red and new shades of
blue as intense as the old Mazarini
hues are shown among the new goods.
From all this medley of colors, refined
women will probably choose the
natural colors for street-wear, while
more vivid tints will be used in the
