Aha! Oho!! the gallery is good. I

gentleman i'll red shirt land of per-
haps French descent who wanted
everything explained. At last, amidst
the flashing of lights and. tumultuous
applause, the curtain arose.
A written request had been sent the
young violinist to render the new and
at that time attractive piece-''Sweet
Spirit, Hear My Prayer"
AS the rich subdued melody arose.
my friend again became fidgety, and
turning to me, remarked that he had
enough of that squalling. Bedad, I'll
go TO Uncle Emerson and redame Nc

THE general principle of tariff re-
vision to which the republican party
must conform is free importation of
all that does not interfere with Amer
lean industries and American produc-
ton, and reduced duties of present
schedule wherever that can be done
without detriment to our people A
tariff not for revenue, but for prOtec-
ton, and such protection under the
lightest tariff that will effectually Sc
cure it.

THE conservative Irish members OF
the Dominion parliament, on st. Pat
rick's day, made Lady Mcdonald,
wife of the Canadian premier, a pres
ent of a superb majolica vase in the
following language:
1--WE present to you this beautiful
vase in the name of all. This is a
present for yourself, and not for your
husband. 1t IS a small token Of the
esteem which we feel for you as a
good wife and virtuOus woman, as al
so in return for the kindness and hos
pitality which you have bestowed up
on us Irishmen for many years past"
The question naturally arises wheth-
or the definite statement that it was
not for the premier may not have had
a very'special significance. Sir John
has not been particularly beloved of
his Irish-Canadian constituency. The
presentation was a decidedly Irish
one.

INGALLS, bill, providing that the
women who will marry armless or
legless soldiers and care for them dur
ing life, shall receive a pension Of Sl2

ment and some amusement. 1t j.
scarcely to be expected that the bill
will be seriously considered by the
committee on pensions. All such
cases as are included in the bill are
already prOvide>' for in the soldiers

The Potts Case.

Tho hearing OF the petition for the
communication OF the sentence OF
Josiah and Elizabeth Potts from the
,dcath penalty to imprisonment for
life will come before the Board of
Pardons next week. Numerous pcti-
tons have baon sent in, tho ono from
Eiko bearing the name of every citi-
zen Of town, with one or two excep.
tons. This almost unanimous desire
for Communication on the part OF the
people whore all tho circumstances
OF the case aro 50 vol known should.
in Il Judgment, carry great weight
with tho Board OF Pardons; and We
trust that that tribunal will give this
mattor duo consideration in its
deliberations.
Josiah and Elizabeth Potts have
been confined in the Elko Jail more
than n year in painful uncertainty ne
to tho final result OF their case, and
on Mr.. Potts especially 10 this close
confinement, coupled with the agoniz.
ing suspense as to the final result,
apparent in tho huggard and almost
donthly appearance of tho man who
little more than II year ago was the
picture Of health. Under all tho cir.
cumatnncos SO believe it would be
but nm act OF justice To commute the
sentence to Imprisonment for life.

Chairman.
J. 4. PLUMMER,
Secretary.

In concluding his speech on The sill
YER question last Monday Senator
Stewart said there was no middle
ground in the contest between usury
and Justice. The decentralization OF
silver was n crime against civilization,
and nothing but the full restoration
Of that metal TO tho place which it
occupied before the crime was com
mitted could redress the wrong or
redeem the pledge Of the Republican
party.
Eustis asked Stewart whether his
Interpretation Of the silver plank Of
tho Republican platform THAT it
meant FREQ coinage of silver WAS
tho recoguizcl Interpretation OF tho
party.
Stewart replied that it could have
no other Interpretation, and added
that he himself had drawn that
plank.
Farwcll I was q member o., tho
committee on eSClulioD oil the last
National Republican Convention. and
I desire to express my dissent to the
opinion given by the Senator from Ne
yada. No such Interpretation was
considered by that committee.
Stewart-Thcn what does it mean?
Farwcll--That tho party was in ia
yor Of silver money at tho market
price Of silver. ! drew the resolution,
ns tho Senator we'll knows, ard it vas
perfectly honest and fair. 1t meant
that tho Government should bly, sill.
