the public welfare on the one hand, and the
ssloon on the other; therefore

In Favor OF Paying Commissions.

CHICAGO, Ill, March 13.-GeneraI Pas
yenger Agent Charlton, of the Chicago &
Alton Railroad company, denies the truth
Of a published dispatch which states that
mis- road had signed circular letter "a,
binding that corporation to cease paying
commissions on passenger business, and
that this concession was made in order to
secure a removal Of the boycott which the
trunk lines had dscla ed against IL for such
payments. The ooycO t took the form Of
refusal Of the & unk lines to sell tickets over
the Alton road at their offices. Speaking Of
this matter Mr.. Charlton said;
''We have not departed one iota from our
position on the commission question. We
have not signed circular letter "a" and
have no intention of doing so. The lines
boycotting us placed our tickets on sale IN
oonditionally. We are as We have been in
the past and expect to be in the future, first.
last and all the II @ unreservedly and une-
QuivccaIly IN favor Of the payment of a rea-
eoneble commission to ticket agents.

Tariff Reformers.

BosToE, MASS, March 18.-The Massa-
chusetts Tariff Reform League issued an ad-
dress OF which the following are the princi-
pal points. ''The defeat of the policy Of
tariff reduction shows the nesd of furtaer
enlightenment of the psopie in regard to the
real effects of the existing tariff. The
league will advocate free raw materials as
the practical objective point for future effort.
Special efforts VIII be made TO show the
farmers he fallaoies by which they have
been deserved. Competent speakers have
Voluntee red their services. JOINT debates
viii be arranged wherever possible. Our
congressman viii be invited to OK plain why
they have sacrificed the interests of New
England to the greed Of Pennsylvania.
Those of our manufacturers who pe;itiOned
against ee raw ma erials will be given an
opportunity tC defend their petition. The
league is partisan, and asks the CO.
operation of tariff refOrmers in both parties.
The wealthy few who imagine they have
bought the right to fatten upon the abuses
of the tariff without fear of further mole ia
ton, are reminded that the tariff questiOa
cannot be settled at all until it is rightly
settled" The signers are Henry l.. Pierce,
William Lloyd Garrison, Josiah Quincy and
John F. Andrews.

LAWRENCE, KAN, March 12.-The Cyclone
club returned from Washington aud were
royalty received by the citizens of this city
The First Regiment band and the Republi-
can club marched to the depot where were
gathered several thousand people. Cheer
after cheer was given when the train came

the entire crowd. There John Walker, pFesi-
dent of the Young Mems Republican clu b,

The Indiana, District Attorney.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March pa specis
meeting of the cabinet was held at which all
the members were present. Nothing was
done, it is reported. beyond considering the
appointments necessary to enable the heads
of departments to get them into
working order. The list is guarded
with exceeding care. When 1t be-
came apparent that the senate would not
confirm the nomination of Solomon Clay
pool to be district attorney for Indiana,
Justice Harlan appointed ClaypOol temper
ariiy to fill the vacancy. Durin g the winter
the grand jury at indianapolis found a num-
Der of indictments based on alleged viola
tions of the election laws. These indict-
ago, he would not prosecute, and to-day
Justice Harlan informed Attorney General
Mil or that he had received ClaypoOls
formal resignation. Within few days the
vacancy will be filed as the business of the
court has been accommodating at a rapid rate,
the criminal docket being very large one.

Bright Crows.

Whether animals have souls or not
is hard to determine, but that they
have minds no one nowadays doubts.
We read the other day of two crows
which put this and that together in a
way that would do credit to human
reasoning powers. The scene was in
India. A rough terrier, when given a
bone, was sent to eat it on the gravel
driveway in front of the bungalow
The crows had often sought to snatch
the meat from the dog, but had always
been defeated. Finally, they appeared
to discuss the matter In a neighboring
tree, after which one Of them few down
and Pecked at the dogs tail, and when
he was attending to this matter the
other crow came and seized the bone.
This is matched by story In the st,
Nicholas of a shepherd dog whose duty
every night w1s to bring q herd of
nearly a dozen COWS safely home from
pasture. One night, after the COWS
we're within the barnyard. the dog
stood on his hind feet and peered anx-
iously within the rails. Then he start
ed of on a run and brought home q
peryeEse 1oiterer. Certainly this looks
as if that dog knew now TO "count
noses. Exchange.

Swallowed a Live Fish.

While a dance was at its zenith of
pleasure at the residence of Mr.. Claw
son, a bucket of water was drawn from
the well and brought in which con tain-
ed a sucker fish about five inches long.
The fish had been placed in the we'll
by the children. The appearance of
the sucker in the drinking water caused
comment by the company, during
which one of the young yeomanrY
" lowed he could swaller the reptile
fer fun er money" This observat ion
Occasioned no little bantering and bull
that he would be given 81 if he would
throw it under his collar. The bOaster
said he would go him; and, taking the
fish by the tail, he laid back his head,
spread his potato trap from pole to pole,
aud let her go Gallagher. The fnny
explorer shot down the yawning guIlet
like a well-greased tObOggan, its ex-
tended fms raking the sides with a sort
of ripping sound as of laceration, and
sickening to hear. The feat accom-
plished, the sWallower unbuttOned his
shirt-cOllar, gave himself a hirt and
shake, and proclaimed in a loud voice
that he could 'swaller a live dog with
his tail curled over his back, catch as
catch can and no limit to size, for s.. :"
But he got well away with his bluff (if
bluff it was), for no one doubted his
ability to do so; and this, coupled with
the fear that the passage of dog might
imperil his diaphragm, brought the
side-shOw diversion to a close, and the
dance went on with renewed Joy until
the break of day.-IdahO Democrat.

Senator Leland Stanford, proprietor of the
Palo Alto farm, Menlo Park, Cal. referring
to early training says: 81 do not remember a
single instance where an animal of mine was
injured by early work. When a break down
has occurred ic has invariably been after a
let up. Let ups nro very dangerous to young,
fast animals, as their bodies grow during the
let up without corresponding development of
strength, and they are very liable to get too
much work when their exercise IL renewed.
My aim Is to give tho greatest possible
amount of exercise without fatigue, and
never allow it to reach the period of exhaus-
ton. This is secured by short distance ex-
ercise. 1t is the supreme effort that de-
velops. If colts nre never over worked,
they arc always willing to try In
their exercise, having no apprehension that
they will be forced beyond their comfort
When n young colt, having no fear of being
over worked, Is brought out for exercise, his
eyes arc bright and express tho expectation
of having a good time" Col. r. S. Strader,
proprietor of Elmore Place farm, Lexington,
Ky, thus expresses himself on the subject of
training; 1--WE cannot obtain as stout and
seryiccablc animals by carly training and de
vclopmcnt us by waiting to let them better
nature. Moro youngsters aro ruined here
than in any other state, for tho following
reasons: First, we handle more of them. Sec
ondly, generally there is not enough care,
and tho owners employ ordinary help because
1t is cheap, and they want too much speed for
too little money Tho Horseman.

Tho Earl of Dunraven.

The Earl of Dunraven, who is to send the
yacht Valkyrio to the United States to COM
pete for the America cup, is not considered a
veteran ynchtsman, but he starts with the
advantage of having had his enthusiasm
stirred by tho most experienced of yachting
men. The boldness with which he has thrown
down the gauntlet after very slight yachting
experience is reckoned tho more commenda-
bic. Ho has been sailing with tho Messrs.
Jameson, of Dublin, owners of tho famous
Samoena and still moro famous Irex. In no
yachting school could Lord D%unraven nave
seen better sport. Mr.. William Jameson is
not Surpassed by any nmeteur sailor in British
