MEXICO is in a very different condi-
ton from that she presented when
Diaz assumed the reins Of govern
ment. Reduced taxes, increased
schools, enlarged public and private
works of all kinds attest the public
confidence in the present administra-
ton. Reciprocity measures will be
more readily arranged and more
faithfully carried out now than was
possible at any former period of Mex
ico's existence. That reciprocity will
not be long delayed is certain. The
republican party has fairly COM
mitted itself to the adoption of recip-
rocity measures, and the G. o. p.
never undertakes any measure of
public good and fails. Her past per-
formances guarantee her accomplish
ment of present purposes, the re-
demption of present promises.

THE Houston Age emphasizes
Its opposition to the commission
plank of the democratic platform by
publishing in full caps the following
declaration of dissent aud placing it
at the head of its editorial columns:
"The Age believes, land has often ex
pressed the belief that railroads are
the most powerful of all known
agencies for the development of the
resources of a state and for the pro-
motion of the prosperity of its people.
And the Age will not at the bidding
of any man, or gathering of men,
stutify itself by advocating the adop-
ton of a measure, which if adopted
will discourage men who have money
from using it to build railroads in
Texas"
This is good doctrine even though
1t be democratic treason to deny it.

The deceased was q man OF very

Parade OF the Firemen.

Firemen's day was great day in Au.
dubon. Everybody who could do so
without too great inconvenience sus-
pended business and went to see the
boys on dress parade while more than
three hundred bright and happy school
children added to the vivacity Of the
scene. Very soon after dinner the UNI
expected happened in that 1t rained,
and II was feared that those enlisted
would not venture out, but fortunately
the rain soon ceased and soon after the
appointed hour o'clock--the parade
started from headquarters on Leroy
street, following the line of March out.
lined last week. The procession was
led by Chief Freeman, and VIM. Burns
bearing national colors followed by the
mayor, council and county officers; tho
Audubon Cornet Band In its new and
recognized form followed executing
high grade music in excellent style.
The hook and ladder truck came next,
driven by Earnest Bryan, and upon
which Walter Brainard was riding
bearing aloft the splendid floral tribute
presented to the department by Mrs.
G. u. Russell and rooster growing va.
ciferously for the victories won last
year. Twenty-Five men hauled the two
hose carts, which were handsomely dec,
grated in red, white and blue. The
town cannon brought up the rear and
was hauled by about twenty Juvenile
patriots from the public schools.
The merchants display was limited
in point of numbers. In fact the only
display offered was that cf the enter
prisng butter, egg and poultry dealers,
Messrs. l.. G. snyder q Co. IL consist.
ed of u load of chicken coops, boy
carrying chanticleer, and driven
by Mr.. VIM. Mallory, one of the resi-
dent members. What horse but "Old
Champ" calm, serene and dignitied,
should be given the distinguished honor
of hauling this display. The enterprise
of this firm rs an example will stimu-
late other firms to secure representa-
ton in the parade another year.
Besides the large floral tribute before
mentioned, Mrs. Russell presented but.
ton hole boquets for the entire depart
ment and band, and the boys all appre-
ciated the little token from the worthy
lady.
Altogether the first formal annual
parade of the Audubon Fire Depart
ment was an immense success, the citi-
zens complimenting the department by
turning out In goodly numbers, while
the department made most creditable
appearance. -
1t is foregone conclusion that the
parade of next year will be anticipated
with pleasure and that u more lively In
terest will be demonstrated.
Following the parade the hose
team gave an exhibition run, going
two blocks and q half from the hall
and raising the ladder OH the Citi-
zens Bank in one minute and fifteen
seconds.

REVOLUTION.

THE REPUBLICAN has just perform
ed an unexpected and unprecedented
thing. For nearly four years rush of
job work and the general duties of the
Office have caused us to postpone house
cleaning. Although the rush continu.
ed we have put forth extraordinary eff
fort and gone through that general dis
turbance, and that with very good and
wholesome effect. Last Friday morn
ing the entire force resolved itself into
4 committee on the removal of cobwebs,
etc, and moved on the works. AS soon as
space was cleared Messrs. Wattles &
Bailey invaded the den with paper and
paint and the work of transformation
was begun in earnest. They performed
their work well and thoroughly, so that
our quarters are clean and neatly ele-
giant. The topsy turvy condition of
things made the printers temporarily
long to go on an exploring expedition
with Stanley, but now that order has
been restored they view the result with
satisfaction and are reconciled to the
revolution.
While this is something of an expert.
ment in the printing business, we do
not anticipate violent results, although
it looked for time as though the regu-
lar order would never be fully restored.
Matters pertaining to the printing
business proper seem to work little
better than before, printers are more
cheerful, and while we recommend such
reform to our friends of the craft, we
state to our patrons with the confidence
of assurance that we are able to do job
work even better and quicker than be-
fore, and everybody knows we make
prices Just right for good work.
Briefly, THE REPUBLICAN is "at
home in thoroughly renovated quar-.
tiers, and extends cordial invitation to
the public to call.

Work of the Negotiations.

The recent conclaves of vegetarians in
America and England have been of advan-
tage even to the scoifers. The foes of
animal food have mt least demonstrated
that such things as beans and peas apd
caulificwer may be SO artistically dressed
as to cause even the gourmet to regard
them as ends in themselves, and not merely
as the subsidiary adjuncts of a chop or
steak. a London paper, commenting on
the vegetarian, says that the majority OF
Englishmen eat more meat than is good
for them-a habit which is due not so much
to the perversity of their dispositions as to
the Incompetence of their cooks" 1t is a
little queer by the way, that these British
cooks, who are denounced at home for in
competency, find easy employment and big
salaries in the kitchens of wealthy Ameri-
cans who think nothing worth their use
unless il is imported

He Wouldn't stop.

Two or three days ago an elderly man
who was apparently waiting for ain
at the Wabash depot began singing
Home, Sweet Home in high pitched
voice, and in two or three minutes
everybody in the waiting room was
laughing at him. The depot officer
finally approached him and said;
My friend. that Is against orders"
"What-to sing?"
Yes"
ITO sing Home, Sweet Home!"
Yes"
Il don't believe it! don't believe
thers's a town in this United States
where Teller who is clean busted and
forty miles from home can't sing Home,
Sweet Home, all he wants to without
breaking the law. You go away and

Gen. Scott could be seen nearly every
morning at jefferson market, aud every
burly butcher and red checked market
woman looked for his greeting as mat
ter of course.
At Clinton market the heads of the
Lord, Lydig. Griffin, Aymar and other
families of social note did not disdain to
the jokes and laughter that the wit of
the society man and the ready repartee
of the market woman provoked the work
of filling the basket was pleasant one.

4 True philanthrnnist.

\ philanthropic lady, Mrs Magnusson,
is about to sell her family heirlooms foI
the purpose of opening high school for
girls in Ireland. Some of these articles
are 200 years old, and the unique collec-
ton comprises belts, clasps. bracelets,
brooches, old wood earrings and spoons.
This lady has, by the help of some friends
in England, succeeded in erecting a
building on "A piece of ground which be
longed to her, and it is for the purpose
of furnishing the interior, of supplying
books, and paying teach' rs that the lady
has determined to part with her cher
ished heirloom. The great test of a
woman's devotion to any purpose seems
to have been, from Queen Isabella down,
the sale of her jewels to forward its in
terests, and it is an iniisputabl- fact
that comparatively few women can en-
dure this test of her loyalty.-New York

GreelX's TELEGRAPH Line.

There is good story told on Gen.
Greedy, the chief of the signal service.
A number of years ago "Old Probabili-
tiles, then lieutenant in the Fifth cav
airy, was stationed in Texas. While
there he was ordered to build $50 miles
of telegraph line. Greedy decided to pur-
chase new kind of insulator, sort of
sheet iron, cone shaped affair. The line
was completed, and for couple of
weeks everything worked well and the
lieutenant was congratulating himself
on the success of his work. All at once
the line would not work at all. a couple
of line repairers started out to find the
cause. The first pole they tackled was
their last, for swarm of hornets
emerged from that insulator prepared to
resist all corners. As the swarm settled
about the two me,' they ran, and as they
ran the swarm increased and followed
them nearly into the fort. The line was
rebuilt, but the ordinary glass insulators
were used. To this day those linemen
have never forgiven the general.-Kansas

For long time Jumps of crude rubber
and elastic bands have mysteriously van
ished from the counter of Morrisseys
"all night" pharmacy in Brooklyn. 10
body was able to throw any light on the
enigma until Drug Clerk Bosworth made
a discovery.
1t was late Mt night and the store was
1uiet. Trade had been dull for an hour
and Bosworth felt like taking a nap.
Just as he was about dropping off to
sleep he happened to look up and caught
glimpse of "Doc," a big cat that lives
in the pharmacy. He was at lunch, and
was feasting on rubber bands.
One by one he extracted them from
heir little glass receptacle and munched
away with evident relish. Bosworth did
not disturb him, but sat still and count
ed the rings rs they vanished down the
cats throat When forty-three had
faded from view doc" stopped eating,
gave wide yawn and stretched himself
)ut for an after dinner nap on top of a
showcase.
Having accidentally solved the mys-
cry, Bosworth resolved to ave some
fun at Docs" expense, SO, after the cat
had been doing for an hour, he called
him. doc" came to the front quickly.
In his hand Bosworth held large elias
tic band. This he extended toward the
cat. Docs" eyes seemed to sparkle as
he contemplated the luscious morsel,
and without hesitation seized it with
his teeth.
Bosworth, however, had a good grip
on the other end. When the cat pulled,
Bosworth pulled, too, but the little tug
If war did not last long, for the mis-
:hievous clerk suddenly relaxed his hold
On the band, and as it snapped back it
caught the unlucky cat a singing cut
on the end of his nose. He dropped the
band as if it were hot potato, sprang
from the counter and ran ont of the
store with a cry of distress.
Since then, although Bosworth and
his friends, to whom he related the Incl
dent, have repeatedly tried TO induce
doc" to submit to being hand fed with
rubber rings. he steadfastly refuses tc
indulge. His abnormal appetite has
been cured. New York Herald.

TWO WOrls.

People who wish to send home tele,
grams from abroad commonly arrange a
system of cipher in order to make the
expense as small as possible. A story Is
told of one man, however, whose ingenu,
ity supplied the lack of any prearranged
cipher.
\ western man who owned a great
farm in Dakota was obliged to cross the
water for business purposes. For three
months he heard nothing from the man
whom he had left in charge Of the farm.
and at last he became somewhat dis.
turbed. He was an ilhterate person
though capital farmer. and the writing
of telegram was matter of some diff.
Guilty. At last he sent off the following
comprehensive message:
is Things all right at the farm"
Impatiently he awaited the answer
1t would be expensive, he felt sure
whether it brought good or bad news
Judging by his own experience.
But his trusty foreman was "A person
Of few words and strict ideas of econ
omy, and the envelope which his anx
ious employer received as soon as posi-
bile contained simply this message
Things is."-Youth's Companion.
