rats dosortng the sinking G. o. Z.
ship.
Senator Plumb Of Kansas the
last one to open his eyes and swim
for his life. lie is one of the largest

herd the Kans MS Senator dcnouncc
the theory he has been harping on
for years.
That staunch old soldier of vor-
biage, MIR. sherman replied to him,
and showed that he hated, yet to
| give mp. But the fact is growing
daily moro apparent, that the re-
publican party has absolutely STAN
! pcded, and. if the country wants
protection it will be necessary
to find another guide.
The question was on paragraph
400 OF the tariff bin relating TO
china, porcelain and croclcry ware.
The " break ON the subject, malo
ly NE "lanb, was even more dis
itrsss.ng 10 his Republican colleagues
than was the first made earlier in
the session, by Representative But
tcrworlh. OF Ohio.
The Finance committee, of the
Senate recommended areduction Of
the rates in the House bill, from
So to 55 per cent, on decorated ar
ticles, and to 80 per cent on white
and undccoratcd ware.
Mcssrs Sherman and Iliscoc& OPP
posed the Senate amendment.
Then Mr.. Allison Of Iowa, arose.
and, in substance. said that he was
bound to get in a word If it was the
last act of his public career. lie

IT would be too much to hope that
the experience Of South Dakota with
her prohlbltory laws will be differ
ent from that of the other states that
have tried them only to show sue
cessfully they can fail.
IL seems strange that In the face
of these unsuccessful experiences
that new states, or even old ones,
should wish 20 undertake that
which any sensible person must
realize as utterly impossible.
II is safe TO say, aud we are 10 be
congratulated for 1t, that prohibitory
laws will never be enacted In Ore

respects, but we are thankful that
we are not prohibitionists.-

A girl who took her own sweet time

her clothes and hastened forth, dis
covering when outside that she had
left one Of her garters behind her.
II was too late to go back for II. SO,
with sigh for the lost treasure, she
hurried TO the house of friend and
made fast her stocking. Now tor
the sequel. The man who had
the room which the glrl had
Just left saw something shining on
the floor at his feet. He stopped
and picked up beautiful yellow
silk garter with frosted gold clasps.
He drew long breath rs he looked
at the dainty liglture, aud vowed TO
himself that he would tlnd the
owner or die In the attempt. Nay,
further, he registered vow that II
she proved pretty and fascinating
he would marry her. That night
he advertised the garter aud neNt
day he got an answer, The identity
OF ths garter being established, the
man called on the young woman,

How They Take u.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ai.-Tne 6ght over the
worlds fair site is regarded as finally set
tied by the action Of the house TO day. New
York's leading representatives accept defeat
calmly and philosophically, and consider it
final. They say New York in spite of many
drawbacks made gallant fight, and now
that they have been beaten, bow gracefully
TO the situation and intend to
do what they can 10 make
the fair success. Chicago, the New York
leaders think, has taken a tremendous re-
sponsibility upon herself Depew says;
"The most marvellous exhibit of modern
times Just closed successfully; whatever
Chicago does is 10 be compared with that.
II she equals il. she makes success; II she
surpasses il, she has made a triumph; If she
falls below it. she will be held responsible
by the American people for having assumed
what she was not equal 10. believe, how
ever, she will succeed
Many ST. Louis and Washington men
have already announced they intend 90
work for Chicago. 1t is not believed the
strength of the opponents of the fair will
exceed 90 votes. Probably. however. large
number OF members will be found IN favor
of postponing the date Of the fair until
1888.

unable at present 10 market their crops on
account Of the high freight rates prevailing

claim cannot be reduced without demoral-

an investigation of an iufraction of that
section the commission shall BE- Obliged to
consider the cost Of transportation and
