Imitation of Senators.


constant source of amusement in the
senate wing of the capitol, says the New
York Tribune, is a graphophone which Is
in use in one of the committee rooms.
Senators who come into the room usually
ask what the machine is, and they fire.
quently sit down to watch and listen to its
operation. Senator Allison was expert
menting with it the other day, and as he
always speaks slowly and distinctly, and
has a keen voice, his words were repro
duced with striking distinctness. The sem
ior senator from Iowa sat on the sofa in
the committee room and laughed like a
boy as he heard his voice coming back to
him from the mouth of q great silver
trumpet attached to the machine. The
committee clerk usually keeps in reserve
a few cylinders prepared for exhibition
purposes containing songs, speeches,
etc. Some one dropped in the committee
room one day and gave the graphophone
a series of imitatiods of the curious
styles of speech of some Of the senator's
Among other carioatures was
one of Senator Reagan. A
few days afterward Senator
Reagan was in the committee room and
asked TO have the machine exhibited to
1uO OpCIdlOi SiippOh III -
supposed to contain "Annie Laurie''
and turned on the crank. Then there
issued from the mouth of the speaking
trumpet these words:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will now
give you my celebrated imitation of SEN
ator Reagan addressing the United
States senate on the tariff question, -
and following them was a series of
gutteral sounds, entirely unntelliglble,
but much resembling in information the
peculiar brogue of the senator from
Texas.
Mr.. Reagan is little hard of hearing,
and before he could arrive at a realiza-
ton of the situation the operator had
whipped the cylinder off the machine
with remark about its being ''out Of
order, - and substituted another, which
soon sent the strains of ''The Wearing of
the Green' floating through the commit
tee room.
The cylinder OF celebrated imita-
tions' has been destroyed.

The Profits of Money Lenders.
Professor James Willis Gleed in the Forum
March


Professor James Willis Gleed in the Forum for
March.
The broker of the community becomes
the capitalist of the community. The
Western mortgage brokers have been no
exception to the rule. One of them in
Kansas has made nearly $40 1000 1000 since
1870. The business developed rapidly.
As increased capital has become neoes-
sary, individual brokers have given way
to corporations. There are probably 200
such corporations now operating in Ne
braska and Kansas alone.
What has been done with this vast
borrowed capital? Labor has been en-
ployed. Thousands of villages, towns
and cities have been built. Thousands
of miles of railroad have been con-
structed. Millions of acres of land have
been subjected to private dominion,
have became part of the estimated
wealth of the country, and have been set
to producing what the world wants.
Farm buildings of all sorts have been
constructed, and farm machinery pur-
chased. The cattle industry has been
enormously developed. Mines have been
opeueu, Churches anu SCHOOL houses nave
been erected. States have been founded
The growth which occupied a hundred
years in the older states, has been here
crowded into ten. The mortgage did
this. The people were an industrious,
hard working, ambitious people. The
money which has been loaned them has
not been squandered. If the loans made
to the West have been large, the increase
in the wealth of the West has baen
astounding. The money advanced to
the West is all there-represente ted by
property, real and personal, which is
rapidly giving back it's increase. 1t is
all there, engaged in producing wealth.

APACHE PRISONERS.
Why General Miles Strongly Opposes
Sending them to Fort Sill.
They Would Stir Up the Other Redskins, and
The Settlers in Arizona Would Again
Suffer a Reign of Terror.
Washington Star.

Another Apache outbreak has been
quieted by the troops in Arizona. The
Indians who murdered George Herbert a
week ago were over:aken by troops and
two killed. They were chased over 800
miles over the toughest country in the
territory. Had the Indians been IN force
it would have taken a campaign to sub
due them.
In connection with this outbreak, the
views of Gen. Miles as to the advisabillty
of sending the Apaches at Mount Yer
non, Ala. TO the Fort Sill reservation
are of interest. Gen. Miles is strongly
opposed to the proposed transfer.
He believes that the return of the In
dians to that country would stir up fur
Their outbreaks, and would be prejudicial
to the safety of the people in Arizona.
He believes that the prisoners should be
kept far from that country, and suggests
North Carolina as a suitable place. In q
recent hearing before the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, he gave his views
at length, and described the circum-
stances connected with the last Apache
war, which have not been generally
known. In describing the difficulties of
the chase of the Apaches in 1886, by the
troops he said:

tered By the troqpz. not onlI in climbing thoas

IT does not seem out of place to remind
those who do not wish to hear Sam Jones
that this is a free country and they need
not go unless they wish to do so. When
an agnostic was advertised to speak at
the opera house a few weeks since
no man protested directly or indirectly;
but now that believer is advertised to
speak in Fort Worth there is protest d.
rect and indirect. Liberals should be
liberals, and leave to each man to de-
eide for himself whether he Will hear
Jones or not. This Is q free country
and liberals cannot be bigots

Tom LANSING, a popular newspaper
writer, says that he has no hesitation in
saying that for an intellectual human
being there is no game that affords SO
much pleasure as whist. OF course Tom
never had partner who asked what is
trumps? didn't return his trump lead
and eliminated his agony by trumping
his trick and taking the lead when he
had the game in his own hands. The
keenest intellectual pleasure does not
follow such idiooy, or at Least if it does
it is a pleasure that is closely akin to
pain.

EMPEROR WILLIAM early established
himself head of his family despite the
efforts of his English maternal grand
mother, whose will is not easily thwarted.
Now he stands at the head of the gov
eminent that has so long been a reflex of
the will of Prince Bismarck? There is
room to believe that the young en-
peror is nearer his people than has ever
been the case, and that he unites within
himself the iargeness of his father and
the indomitable will of his grandfather,
who found in Prince Bismarck and Gen.
Won Moltke congenial counsellors and
willing servitors.

The discovery of lode of uranium at
the Union mines, Cornwall, was an
nounoed several months ago. This is be-
lieved to be the only known lode Of that
metal in the world, as it has previously
been found only in pockets and patches.
Since the discovery was made steps have
been taken to develop the lode and work
the mine. Experimental works for pro-
curing the metal from the ore were
fitted up in London, and there the ore
has been submitted to treatment in order
to determine the best and most ecopomi-
cal method Of extraction. The market
price of the metal is about SO, 900 per
ton. 1t is proposed TO substitute it far
gold in eleotroplating, and it is also ex-
pected TO prove useful in electric light
installations.

What Texas Does for the GrumblinE Man.


GreenVllle Banner.
The other day we heard certain man
grumbling about high taxes and abusing
the state government of Texas. Knowing
that very few states in the Union had as
low tax rate as Texas, we proceeded to
investigate the grumbl er's case. The
result was that we found that his total
taxes for 1889 were fraction over $40 a
year. Then turning to the county rolls
of pupils within the scholastic age we
found he had five children on the list,
and his proportion of the public school
fund for the education of these children
was S22. so. In other words, this chronic
grumbler pays the state $40 year and
gets back S22. 80 year TO educate his
children with. Yet he abuses the state.
It has been truly said that ingratitude is
one of the basest of crimes, which is a
truth that some people ought to think
more about than they are in the habit Of
doing

Capt. Frank Cunningham of Richmond a.,
Va, has taken a notion that he would
like to sing at his own funeral. He has
sung at 385 funerals during the last two
years. He intends to sing certain songs
into photograph and let the instrument
officiate at the ceremony preceding his
burial. He has chosen "Home of the
Soul" and "Good Night as the songs
to be delivered at that time.

The Spring Palace in Need of These Rose
buds Fresh From Study.
o the Gazette.
Fort Worth is justly proud Of her
daughters now growing and grown to
sweet young ladyhood. Many of them,
too, have won laurels in more schools
than their native state can boast. The
wealth accumulated by their parents in
this city of Fort Worth has given many
of them opportunities to obtain artistic
culture attained to by few.
Now, Mr.. Editor, L appeal to
you as fair minded looker-on
of events, is it just to their own city for
these artistic, cultured young women to
hide their light under bushel? These
young ladies may declare that their PEN
ellis and brushes have been used in dec
Grating their homes with beautiful crea-
tions OF their skill. Their pictures are
hanging on their own galleries and walls.
Please be kind enough to inform them
that state, nay, national picture
gallery lies awaiting decoration by their
artistic fingers. They have leisure, they
have skill. The entire state offers its
products to be worked up into pictures as
lovely as ever adorned the walls of
genuine Old World palace of marble.
They are assured, too, that no learned
member of an academy will "skylight
any production of their skill. VIII the
young ladies of Fort Worth leave the in
terror adornment of the Texas Spring
Palace, a work of profit and delight so
appropriately their own, to the busy
tired housekeepers of the city? To put it
in business way, Fort Worth wants
some of the interest paid up on the months
and years of privation Of their society,
while they were busy in distant schools
pursuing their studies of literature and
art. MATER FAMILIES.
