II VIII Cost Here TO Die.

following stirring denunclation of
Bill McKmley's bill:
A close reader Of the new tariff
schedule complains that it mate

The average poor man is in a
desperate fix. Ii costs so much TO
live that life is burden, and yet
considerate person will feel in
duty bound 10 hang on 10 the brit
lie thread of exisleuce as long as
possible IN order 10 save his rela-
tives the expense OF decent fu-
neral under the Mckinley bill.
The ravenous grip of the rObber
tariff faslens upon The infant in hi,
cradle and clings 10 the dead man
in his grave!
1t is the irony Of protection
protection for Stone and iron and
wool and other things In the inter

mon tlesh and blood This tax holds
out no prospect but slavery, star
vation and destruction.
II may be a necessary crime tC
tax breath il is an unnecessar!
crime to tax death!
Such a law outrages human na
lure, and humanity will revol
against il. The party lash canno
,cource men into the support q
this infamy corruption canno
sustain il, and brutal violence car
not laslen it upon a nation of free

on THE FENCE.

Tive women leaned over the backyard

tThe same old fence) as the sun went
down,
While each told the other. in conidence,
The scandals she had gathered around
the town,
For women must gossip, or they cant
sleep.
They think that secrets weren't made
to keep;
So they lean on the fence in the gloam-
ing
Two women sat on the front-door step,
In the evening glow, as the sun went
down,
They told how their children had skipped
the group,
And they sneered at tho minister's
wfe's new gown.
For women delight in a friendly chat,
Without it their lives would be stale
and flat;
So thoy sit on the stoop in the gloam-

Two husbands came home from the base
ball game
(From the office, they said,) as the sun
went down,
Both ready and eager to hear the same
Sweet scandals their wives had hunted
down.
For men, though they work, love gos'

And that's why their wives seek
something now;

GOVERNOR HILL.

Gov. II. B. Hi. Of New York
spoke NJ Canton. Ohio, III opposi-
ton to Mckinley Here is his a.
raigument of the Radicals:
AN important political cam
paign is that upon which our
country has entered. No more i'm
porlanl has been held within a
gen,raIirn. The contest i not
merely between men or parties,
and nol only between government
al politics. The question present
ed to our voters is not Wht ther the
next House Of Representatives
will be Republican or Democratic,
but whether the nature of onr
Federal Government Is TO be radl-
calIY moulded. and the integrity
OF our institutions success fully
threatened. The great issue is The
record of the Republican party in
its brief control of Congress. No
party has more recklessly defcd
precedents. more flagrantly dis
regarded principles. nor bOastfrlly
overturned traditions, more Sc.
riou>ly invaded private rights,
more arbitrarily encroached upon
prerogalives of State, or any ~
ranicalIy used power Of a partisan
majority.
The animatlng motive of The
party seems TO have been the per
petualipn of lis own power. 1t

tion. nothing for the treasury, moth
ing for the people. lis chief desire

TIMBER 1000 YEARS OLD.-Pro-
baby The oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to
the use of man Is found in The an
cient temple of Egypt, in connpc-
lion with The stonewoTk, which is
shown to be at least 1000 years old.
This was the only wood used in
the construction OF the temple, and
is in the form of ties, holding The
end oi one stone TO another. When
two blocks were laid in place, an
excavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, in which one
of these ties shaped like an hour
glass, was driven. Ii Is, therefore,
very difficult To force stone from
its position. These ancient lies
are made OF timarisk or Shiiilm
wood, the same as hat OF which the
Ark was constructed.

Fresh Gossip About Mrs. Deecher, Mrs.
Custer nnd Mrs. Grnnt.

fresh Gossip About Mrs. Beecher, Mrs.
Custer and Mrs. Grant.
Mira. Horny Ward Bcechor has re-
turned from Florida, and is seen on tho
streets occasionally, n littlo figure,
slight whito-haircd and folded in q
black shawl. When mot her ycster-
day, says Now York correspondent to
tho Post Dispatch, thcro wa9 the faint
ost touch OF pink on hcr checks, giving
her that delicate, shcll-liko beauty
which sometimes goes with soft whito
skin and whito curls. Shc had bunch
OF lilic9 Of tho valley pinned on her bo-
som. Within tho block passed another
woman whose proximity mado mo look
about startled. Had sho recognized tho
daughter of Victoria Woodruff? l
think not. Neither had tho pretty Zulu
Maud recognized her. A new gcncration
has grown up, and in any case, thcro
would not have boon any thing dramatic
about tho cncontro. Yet meeting tho
two brought back old memories. Mrs.
BocChcr's rooms arc full of pictures Of
her husband-as tho young lover, in tho
primo Of life, IA ho was tho yoar hc died
and most Of these pictures aro so
placed that the trail of vino, the petals
OF flower, caross them. Her inter-
o5t3 in lifo aro largely tho things that
interested him, or that sho believes $
would, If he wcro now living, meet his
approval. She gives u helping hand to
tho Brooklyn Woran's Health Protect
i've Association. which wishes to clean
Cho streets of dirty city.
On tho samo day passed within tho
hour two other widows--Mrs. Custer, in
black dress and with winning eyes, and
Mrs. julia Dent Grant, who docs not
walk far, but was crossing tho sidewalk
from hcr carriage. Mrs. Custer has tho
record, | bcli0ve, of never making an
acquaintance who docs not wish to bo-
como q friend. Sho walks tho pave
monts with n gplcndidly FREQ stop, in
which ono could almost fancy = rom
ini9concc Of tho plains. A moro prosaic
explanation is found in her broad-golcd,
common-scn8o shoes. Sho is devoted to
her husbands memory and absorbed in
hor literary occupations.
Mrs. Grant looks we'll and kindly, and
stoutcr than is altogether becoming.
Queen Victoria, however, 10 ncGhior,
and Mrs. Grant dresses in better tasto
than Queen Victoria. I fancy not mitch
crcdenco Is to be givon TO tho report
that sho will go to England and live
with Mrs. Sartoris. All her interests
arc on this sido Of tho water. Another
report. oven less probable. says that sho
has plans for voluminous literary pro-
duction. Whom she has finished tho
"reminiscences which now engage her,
which will bo practically her auto
biography, it iS moro than doubtful If
she sets about any further labor.
