curious incident is handed down from the
boyish life Of Schiller. says the Boston Herald
One day, in q tremendous thunderstorm, the
family gathered together in ill-disguised terror.
But Fritz was missing, aud the father alarmed
for his safety. sought him IN vain 10 all the
rooms OF the house
He went outdoors TO search for the truant,
and, to his surprise, found him perched on a
branch of a solitary tree, eagerly watching the
heavens and the flashes which lighted up the
gloom. He was wholly Indifferent 10 the rain,
which had wet him to the skin, and TO the
danger ne incurred To the sharp reproof OF
the father the boy replied with glowing face:
The lightning is SO beautiful Wished 70 see

and natural indignation at republican tariff
extortion one of the fraternity recently said
that it would be easier for jackass to pass

Industrial growth does not seem to have
wholly turned the attention of Alabama
from other necessary elements of modern
advancement. While Birmingham, Annis-
ton and Sheffield are concentrating their
energies upon the development of mineral
resources, Florence. true to the nature that
her name implies, is devotiug herself to
education and the fine arts. Added to her
fine public schools, Normal College and
Synodical Female College, she now has the
new Baptist University, which will make
Florence one of the most important educa-
tional centers in the south.

The Issue in Pennsylvania.

The Philadelphia Press, tine leadiag re-
publican organ of Pennsylvania, on Wednes-
day last. in an article entitled "The Rspub-
lican Victory" said that "the issue in
Pennsylvania was plainly made from the
beginning of the canvass, and that it was
to determine whether that state should con-
tinue the faithful and unfaltering supporter
of the policy Of protection, or whether, by
a break in the republican line ground
should be yielded to the ruinous policy of
free trade"
Assuming that the Press statement of the
issue was correct, it would be Interesting to
know whether it still thinks the Republican
party of Pennsylvania is as much in favor
of the protection policy as it has been try
ing to make the country believe. That state
is regarded as having a republican majority
Of so, 000 and yet the democratic candidate
for governor overcame that majority and
was elected by plurality of between 10000
and 1900 votes.
1t Is probable that the Press is now ready
to assert that the crushing defeat which
Delamater, the republican gubernatorial
candidate sustained, was not due to the out
rageous Mckinley tariff, and that it was
mistaken when it stated that the issue was
to dstermine whether Pennsylvania would
continue to support the protective system.
II it still insists that the maintenance of the
protective system was the great issue, it
must admit that the people of Pennsylvania
are against that system, and against it
strongly.
In order to avoid getting into unpleasant,
and even embarrassing positions, the Press
ought to wait for the fullest information
before deciding upon its editorial utterances.
1t has blundsred a good deal since its editor
was sent TO st. Petersburg as minister to
Russia. Ii it will take the trouble to study
the returns of Tuesdays election carefully
it will not find anything in them that Is at
all favorable to the protective system. II will
find great deal, however, that Indicates
pretty clearly that the Mckinley tariff was
the feather that broke the camels back
that is, that the people, having borne tariff
burdens until they saw themselves being
rapidly inpovished, revolted when those
burdens were enormously increased by the
legislation of the present congress.

Hard is the life of a hoodoo. Ill luck con-
tinues to pursue Capt. Robert A Annett of
Shadyside, n. j. Capt. Annett has been
around the world several times. Wherever
he has ventured disaster has followed, and,
though others went down, Capt. Annett
seems to have been saved, only that his ne
Dlesis might continue the pursuit His ex-
periences have made him prematurely old.
Several ships that have been placed in his
command have left their ribs on coral
reefs or rocks, and though he has given I'D
the vocation of sailor the curse is
not killed. Not even as a passenger can
he venture ON the water. His last expert
ence was on the Old Bay Line steamer Vir-
ginia, when she was in collision with the
oyster boats and the tug Volunteer. After
that adventure he told his marvellous tales
to Baltimore reporter and achieved fame.
On the strength of that he secured a posi-
ton in q dime museum as a pro-
fessional 'hoodoo" Monday MORN
ing he wandered into the Central
police station and said he wanted to
swear out a warrant against Frank Willis,
proprietor OF the museum. He said Willis
o"eu HAL PdrO VI niS WEEKS salary, ana
that he had threatened his life. Willis was
emphatic in his comments on the case.
Annett he declared, is genuine
hoodoo of the most virulent type land
I would not have him in my museum
any longer on any account. Why. all last
week we had fair weather, yet the audi
ences were regular rainy weather houses.
He would have lost lots of money for me,
I've no doubt, and there's no knowing what
might have happened These hoodoos are
not to be fooled with. " Yet it didn't seem
to occur to Mr.. Willis that In holding back
part of the hoodoo's salary he might pro-
woke hoodoo who'd do the hoodoo act just
for spite. Judging from the results it ap-
pears not unlikely that the Republican
party has been monkeying with this hoodoe.

The Lodge Force Bill.

PrrrsBrRG. PA., July 3l-Gen- cral Master Workman Pow,lerly has addressed a letter to the Knights of Labor in which he arraigns the Fed eral election or force bill in most vigorous manner, saying there is more intimidation in four lines of the law than in all the Southern out rages that have occurred since the war. He says that, shorn of verbi- age, the bill is intended to pcrpctu- ate the existence of the party in power, besides intending to en- courage fraud. Section 9 is in di- rect violation of the contract by which the several States are bound to the United States, and most un- warrantable interference in the legis. lature of the sisterhood of States. 1t is claimed that this law will enable the cOlOred citizens free from intimi- dation and influence. This may ne true of the outside uf the voting places, but it simply transfers the intimidation to the inside of the vot- ing booth. Why not act the part of men and say that the colorcd man is not fit to have vote, for that is what they mean.
 If there be a body of men in this land who do not know enough to do their own voting, if they lack the manhood to defend their ballots with their lives at the polls, then that body is not the kind to be priviliged to a vote for those who make laws for others.
 He calls on the Knights to voice their sentiments and suggests that the name of every Congressman who voted for the bill be published to the world and citizens who are opposed to such high-handed methods should scratch them on next election day.

Wise Sayings.

No man is rich who is not con tented.
 Success that has not been won can not be enjoyed,
 If you want things to go right, live right yourself.
 Teaspoons kill more people than bullets.
 Joy that isn't shared with some body else is not half enjoyed.
 Faith never goes home with an empty basket.
 The most dangerous deception is self-deception.
 It is better to be the boot heels of a living man than the handles of q coffin.
 The man who is continually look ing for an easy place will always have hard one.
 The devil with preacher coat on is none the less a devil,
 If there wasn't SO much money in the world there would be more re- ligion.
Nevada County picayune., 1890-08-07

The superior trustvorthiness of the
 Democratic party is shown in its greater readiness to defeat dangerous measures. A Republican may be willing to allow the passage of bad law in order to secure the passage of a good one, but the Democrat who would not rather defeat a bad law than to enact a good one is a Demo- crat in name only. He ias not grasped the vital doctrine of Democ- racy that the evils of legislation arise not from the passage of too few good laws, but of too many bad ones.
 Wherever widespread oppression exists in this or any other country it is the result of the enactment of bad laws. Mir. Reed saw this clearly in 1886, but in 1890 he becomes the in- strumcnt of a partisan conspiracy to make it impossible to defeat in the House any bill, however dangerous, provided it has the indorsement of the managers of the conspiracy, h. genuity and indecency have joined and exhausted their resources to fet- ter opposition and to make the pas sage of bad laws easy. The prece- dent thus set is that of the worst dcspOtism, whether the action is that "of king or majority" MT. Reed was right in l9SG.-[St. Louis Re- public.

Two Good Haters.

There is most cordial, reciprocal hatred between Speaker Reed and MT. Rogers of Arkansas, and the sneering, eccentric, semi-jocular at tack of the Arkansas member upon the Speaker has attracted considera- blc attention. Mir. Reed put on an exaggerated expression of helpless disgust when he was compelled to recognize Rogers, which caught the eye of the whole house and cast ridi- cule upon the member rising to ad- dress the House, but Rogers got his revenge in the most bitterly personal speech that has been made in the House, without getting outside par liamentary form of expression
 The most interesting features of the episode were those that no run ming report of the proceedings could take note of and which will not ap- pear in the Record The pantomime was picturesque, The looks of hatred, disgust, and contempt, flung back and forth between the two men, always under the guise of mock politeness and a sneering smile, were more eloquent and entertaining to the House than even the most vigor- ous language used in the hours speech. An expression of anger finally drove all other expressions from the Speakers round face, and he left the hall, calling some one else to the chair. Neither of these men can speak of the other in pri- vate conversation without saying something very uncompIimentary .-- | Philadelphia Telegraph.

Reed on Tyranny.

By the resurrection of Speaker Reeds article on "Freedom of De- bate" contributed to the Chautau- quan in 1886, the country is enable q to realize that he is not altogeth CT the narrow-minded and stupid lout it has suited hls purposes to appear since he has been Speaker of the House. In the article in question he shows keen appreciation of the vital truth that it is oftener the duty of a legislative body to defeat pro posed legislation than it is to pass it, and he insists that free debate is ab- solutely essential to the proper con duct of business in the House. unreasonable and capricious sup pression of discussion is tyranny" he says; tyranny, whether done by king or majority"
 This is sound Americanism. Of the bills introduced in any legislative body, at least 90 per cent. ought to he defeatad, no matter whether the body is State Legislature or the national Congress. In this respect no change is made in the situation by change of party control. As many useless, vicious and dangerous bills are introduced for passage when Democrats are in control as when Republicans are in the majority.
