= Has Mr.. George i. Yaple, the "Men-
don boy" gone daft entirelya In a
letter to free trade organ he says;
..Our tariff is England's industrial and
commercial strength" Now that is a
brilliant observation, isn't ita We un-
derstand now why England is so
anxious to break down our tariff sys-
tenn. 1t is because it lis England's
industrial and commercial strength
and she much prefers industrial and
commercial weakness. If Mr Yaple is
correct in his assertion our conclusion
also is correct. But we think Mr..
Yaple is slightly of his base. 1t strikes
us that lie is very much so. If he will
grope his way out of the dense fog OF
theories in which he has been willfully
and apparently malicioLsly losing him
self, and let the sun of truth and rea
son warm up his mental machinery he
will stop talking such absurd nonsense.

report of Labor Commissioner Carroll

reading for Free Traders:
"A comparative table IL given as to
the wages paid railroad men in this

The Pfesque Isle Advance gives out
the following pointer that may open
the eyes of township and county
officials: ''Don't spare printers ink.
Mr.. Hall, in his address to our super
visor's, showed conclusively that the
total county tax of one year was,
throughout the whole OF Pressure lie
county. wholly invalid; because in or
der to cut down the printers bill, the
clerk of the board had been instructed
to not use the old form of entering up
and printing the minutes of the an
nual meeting, so as to show in de-
tailed form the equalized county and
state tax AS spread by townships on
special resolution, as by law establish
ed. He was ordered to cut his minutes
short so as to save few cents on the
printers bill. the consequence being
that the law was not complied with
taxes therefore not legally eqnalized
and spread upon the rolls and thus
null ami void. A true case of penny
wise and pound foolish"

A careless contemporary says that
''the party of progress and true pa

party from the date of its birth down
to the present time. There has not
been a National evil that has not re
ceived aid and encouragement from
the Democratic party, The Demo
cratic party tried to perpetuate slavery !;
every man who plotted treason against
the government was Democrat; every
man who voted for secession was a
Democrat; every man who fought in
the rebel army was Democrat; every
man who shot down Union prisoners
ut Andersonville, Salisbury and Libby
was Democrat; every man who sur
rendered at Apromattoy and lied
when he promised to behave himself

While the Texas veterans were hold

While the Texas veterans were hold
ing reunion i'm Austin not long ago,
says Texas Siftings, two venerable
men who had not seen each other for
many years were talking about the
early history of Texas, and how much
better things were managed in those
days than they are now. Among the
incidents of by-gone days was a mnr-
der trial which took place In the days
OF the republic of Texas, not long after
the battle of San Jacinto. A man
was brought before the court charged
with having murdered a neighbor, the
father of large family. The murder
er himself was an unmarried man.
The presiding judge, having read the
indictment, told the prisoner to stand
up. and said to him: "Bill Jones, you
have not acted right in this matter.
You have deprived good woman ol
her husband and made orphans Of her
children. II I turn you loose will you
marry the widow and support the fam
sly of, the deceasedr' The prisoner
said he was more than willing to do SO.
In fact, he had shot her husband in
order that he could do that very thing.
The widow had no objection, except
that she wanted little more time to
fix up for the occasion. She, however,
announced that she was ready, and
the judge pronounced the happy
couple man and wife without any de
lay.

The Good Old Way.

And just as good as he;
And 50 they CHANGED one day 90 meet
When they were feeling gay.
And 80, OF course, they fell ia love,

He feared he should not get her,
So he was ieeling blue;
And she Was In conniption fts
For fear he would not. too:
But such thin trouble did not last.
am real glad 20 say:
They soon were married rrm and fsst,
The good old way.
Then were the gossips watching,
The tsttle-bags perplexed,
And Mrs. Grundy itching,
For what was coming next
Some thought they'd have a family,
Some blockheads answered, Nay.
They raisod ten children, yes they did,
The good old way.
They lived and helped each other,
As they agreed before.
And SO Goa's blessing came 10 them,
In basket and in store:
They knew enough 10 save q cont,
safe, for a rainy day;
And peacefully through life they went
The good old way.
They lived long, useful Christian lives,
In all good honest pride;
Till Old ime banged them with HE scythe,
And then, OF course, they died;
They had great. splendid funerals,
The best words folks could say;
Then side by side we buried them,
The good old way.
This 10 O song and sermon, TOO,
And true memorial rhyme:
And folks who live so Just and true
Are blessed, all the time;
A splendid, loving, useful life,
Such always ind 10 pay,
Who walk like these, my kith and kin,
The good old way.
Their graves are green, they may be seen,
Their monuments ! see;
And memory loves them back again,
For oil their love 90 me;
Love rules the world with power and might
Love guides us home TO stay,
And heaven shines bright 70 kindly light
