dition most distressing to his admirers.
This painful lapse Mr.. Curtis most in
geniously explains. He SAYS that it was
Dir. Webster's custom to moisten his lips
during the delivery of an address, and
that noticing TIN tumbler placed on the
stand he took it up and drained its con-
tents. So absorbed was Mr.. Webster by
his own matchless eloquence that he did
not discover until some time after that
the tumbler contained not water but
whisky, and by that time the mischief
had been done.
1t will at once occur 10 the general
reader that man who can drink a tin
tumbler of whisky before discovering
that 1t is not water has in him those
stern qualities of which only Daniel
Websters are made. And while Mr..
Curtis explanation might on general
principles excite an expression OF incre-
dulity the great achievements of Mr..
Webster in other directions will bear out
Mr.. Curtis defence. However, Mr.. Cur
tbs does not intend to convey the idea
that this extraordinary mental cOncen-
tration can be characteristic of less pow
erful men. or that the argument can be
used successfully by the common run of
politicians in Kansas, Iowa or other pro-
hibitiOn communities. Mr.. Websters
mistake will 90 on record as a sporadic
case of remarkable mental pre-occupa-
ton. and psychologists owe a debt of
gratitude to Mr. Curtis for his deeply IN
teresting and valuable disclosure.

The result Of the election in Maine Is
still serving as text for a good deal of
fulSomeness on the part of a portion of
the Republican press of the country. OF
course the result was victory. and a
gratifying one 10 the administration. for
IT is construed as an emphatic endorse
ment of 1t. But in point of fact ii was
more in the nature of a personal endorse
ment of the two prominent members of
the administration-Bain and Reed.
This idea is horne out by the result of
the election in Vermont only three DAYS
before, where the administration party
lost nearly l4.0O0 votes. Had the condi-
tons IN the two states been reversed in
this respect there is little doubt in our
mind that the results would have been
likewise reversed. Maine i a reliably
Republican state, hut it very seldom Is
placed in the attitude towards the ad-
ministration that it occupies at present.

THE CONTEST NOT ENDED YET.

Inasmuch as the senate has concluded
its work on the tariff bill and passed that
measure it may seem like a senseless
waste of time and effort to discuss the
subject further just now. But the bill
has not become a law yet and it is some
what doubtful if it will unless the senate
recedes from some of the more import
ant amendments that body made to the
house bill. And until it is disposed of
for this session. if not finally, it is not
only admissible but important that the
sentiment of the public generally and of
a large majority of the Republican party
in particular, should be kept before the
lawmakers for their guidance in dealing
with this important subject. Speaking
to this point the Globe-DemOcrat says:
1T is not to be doubted that a formid-
able contingent, if not decided majority
of the parry. Is thoroughly convinced
tariff legislation should diminish duties,
and this sentiment deserves serious con-
sideratiOn. 1t is not an anti-prOtectiOn
sentiment, nor in any sense an anti-Re-
publican sentiment. The men who hold
it are loyal to the principles of the party
and anxious to promote its welfare.
They want protection to the extent that
it can be justified as a general advant-
age: but they do not want il made pre-
text for fostering special interests at the
public expense. when those interests are
already thriving as well as other forms
of business. In short. as Mr.. Ames puts
its. they look at the subject from a COM
mon sense point of view.

There is prospect on foot in London
10 form a federation of the whole of the
shipping trade Of the British Empire for
the purpose of dealing with the labor
questions of all parts of the world. and,
in particular, resisting the demands and
actions of the trades unions and their
members. A meeting has been held by
British ship-owners representing an ag-
gregate capital of upwards Of a hundred
million pounds sterling. Against such
an organization, the labor unions would
stand mighty poor chance, when it is
formed for the especial purpose Of fight
ing them, and their strikes would avail
nothing against the opposition Of such a

SUGAR MILL NOTES.
From the Medicine Lodge Index.

From the Medicine Lodge Index.
The mill closed down cutting cane
Saturday. and would have commenced
Monday, but water in the lake was so
low it would not run into the mill. The
water was turned into the lake. and soon
it reached its usual normal stage. While
the mill was not cutting cane, 1t was not
Idle, but was busy running syrup through
for second sugar.
At this time the null is not cutting cane.
as there Is no cane ripe enough to cut.
Since the rain, much of the late cane,
that was not headed out. has begun
second growth. and has grown from one
to three feet higher than the cane that
was headed. These shoots are still per
fectlv green, and while some little of the
cane would do TO cut. it is probable that
the whole crop will be delayed some
Colonel Field thinks a part of his field
of cane vii, run as high as ten or twelve
tons per acre, and his whole crop will
average about six tons per acre.
Two car loads of sugar were shipped
TO New Orleans last Wednesday. On the
same dav one car of syrup was sent TO
st. Joseph and one to Chicago.
There is one and a half car loads of
sugar now on hand at the sugar works,
and a half car load of sugar in the syrup.
which is being run through the centlif-
ugalS.
1t Is supposed that the mill will begin
cutting cane next Monday. and there Is
enough syrup on hand TO keep the mill
busy till that time.
The mill is now putting up sugar in
bags. 1t is cheaper to ship, easier to
handle, and the bags are returned at less
expense.
Fifteen thousand pounds Of sugar Is
the largest days work that has vet been
done at the mill.
They have gotten so near ali the sugar
out of the chips that they won't draw
flies \ series of tests show that only

A DIPLOMATIC COUP.

The way in which the average editor
ial writer disposes of the affairs of Eu-
rope. Asia and Africa indicates most for
ciblv that even if these gentlemen have
any difficulty in managing politics in
their own country, they may yet be Bis
.marks and Cavours in disguise, as it is
possible that their political talents would
find greater scope in a country, other
than one such as this, where every one
is constitutionally born free and equal,
and secured in the rights, privileges and
immunities of citizenship.
Our attention has lately been drawn 10
an article in the Birmingham Age-Her
aid. in which "A Balkan Confederacy"
is discussed.
The Age-Herald, in the course of its
article. states that the scheme of Balk-
an Confederacy is likely to be proposed
by England in the event of a European
conference; but in the same article in
which this appears, we find the scheme
of the Age-Herald itself, which will eff
fectually dispose of the English idea
wherever the Age-Herald circulates.
The Age-Herald says; The proper
thing TO do with these Balkan countries
would be, we think, to make a present
of them to Greece, with permission to
that plucky little kingdom to wipe out
the intervening Turkish possessions as
soon as possible"
That is thoughtful scheme, and there
is a generosity about it that quite capt.
Yates the reader.
Greece, in wiping out the intervening
Turkish possessions, it is true, might be
put to some trouble. but there is fresh
ness about the plan that makes it at
tractive. The English plan has been
discounted.
