Ex-aovernor John N. Palmer.

The st. Louis Republic pays avery
high and just tribute to the ability
and craftsmanship Of Gen. Palmer
whose devotion to principle and love
of liberty makes him tower Of
strength in Illinois. The Republic
begins leading editorial with the
following remarks:
Ex-Gov. John M. Palmer, of Hi
nois, has probably vetoed more
vicious and oppressive bills than any
American executive, State or Fed
eral, with the probable exception Of
Mr.. Cleveland. The same idea can
be traced throughout the veto mes
sages of both. 1t has its origin in
strong conviction that the welfare Of
all can only be secured by preserving
the liberties and showing strict re-
gard for the rights of each single in
dividual. Gov. Palmer's vetoes are
among the strongest Democratic
State papers since Jefferson and Mad
ison ceased to write.

The st. Louis Republic thinks the
spontaneous move to honor Mr.. Car
Isle by promotion to the Senate is a
mistake and would destroy his use
fitness and detract from his brillian-
cy, and the Republic is right in this
view. Mr.. Carlisle would be reduced
from the leadership of the House OPP
position and the virtual leadership OF
his party to the ranks in the Senate.
His strongest hold on the country
and his great influence in the party
are due to his mastery of the tariff
and other matters of revenue legis-
lation-none of which is the Senate
allowed by the constitution to origi-
nate. His greatest source of influ-
ence for good would thus be taken
from him as soon as he would be
taken from the House.

FARMERS RILEo.
The Alliance Making Things Lively for
Georgia Cong ressmen.

The Alliance Making Things Lively for
Georgia Cong ressmen.
ATLANTA, Ga, May 9.--Geergia con-
gressmen are going to have hard row
to hoe in their races for reelection.
The ac6ive and aggressive part the
Farmers Alliance has taken in requir-
ing candidates to swear allegiance to
some of its pet schemes has been thorn
in the flesh of some of the members of
the Georgia delegation, for they cannot
afford to ignore the $4,000 alliance men
in Georgia.
Now there looms up another element
equally menacing. This is the temper
ance or prohibition element. The State
Temperance society will meet in Atlanta
Thursday. The object of the meeting,
it is understood, is to take action upon o
proposition to put prohibition candidates
in the field.
The recent decision of the United
States supreme court concerning the
rights of express companies to deliver to
the consignees all packages sent through
them is regarded as a death blow to
local option in that it transfers the sup
ply houses to points outside the state.
Under this ruling the jug train can
run, and with the jug train running the
success of local prohibition is impossible.
This transfers to congress the power of
accomplishing anything in the line of
effective suppression of the liquor traffic,
and it is therefore proposed to send pro
hibition members to congress.
The plan, as outlined by leader in
the movement, is to demand of candi-
dates for reelection that they favor leg
lslation looking to prohibition, and if
they do not prohibition candidates will
be put in the field. The great strength
of the prohibition movement in Georgia
makes this threat of real weight. The
Georgia congressman are, therefore, be-
tween the devil and the deep sea this
time-that is to say they are between
fre-water and cold water

AT A MASQUERADE.

Lovely Woman Meets "A Former Suitor
in the Guise Of Monster.
1t was in town not thousand miles from
Boston that there were recently given a
couple Of masqued parties at private houses.
AT the second Of these the hostess of the first
party found herself talking very amiably
with a mask in whom she supposed herself
to recognize gentleman who had come to
the town just after her own entertainment.
Simply Ger the sake Of making conversation,
and Of throwing the gentleman off the scent
of her own identity, She asked;
Were you at Mrs. Blanks masqued partyf'
"No,n no answered; II was not honored
with an invitation
"Were you here at the time" she asked.
YES he answered; "but Mrs. Blank does
not like me"
CONSERVATION seized upon Mrs. Blank, but
she instantly determined not to betray her
self.
Doesn't she?" she returned, carelessly.
Probably that is one Of the things which
you imagine Some people are always sup
posing that others do not like them, you
know
Her companion seemed a triAe annoyed.
81 am not one of that sort" he retorted,
rather brusquely. "Besdes she has intimated
to me that she did not like me-"
SIS it fair to ask howr Mrs. Blank asked,
entirely mystiled in regard to the identity OF
her interlocutor.
"Why, Ishould not mind telling you if l
were sure that you wouldn't repeat it,"
ooh, never betray a confidence" the lady
said, eagerly.
The gentleman leaned over until his face
under its mask was near to hers.
II asked her to marry me.n
Mrs Blank was more startled than ever
The train of her old suitors, and in her day
she had not few came up before her men
tai vision, and she wondered which one Of
them chance had brought to her side tonight,
but in vain.
But" she said, slowly, "because a lady
refused you it need not follow that she dis
liked you. I am sure a woman is not 10 be
supposed to dislike every man she does not
wish to marry. That would be most absurd
assumption
"To be sure it would" he assontod cheer
fully; "but in this particular ease she did not
refuse me-"
"Did not refuse your echoed Mrs. Blank
in establishment "ohe certainly did not &C
cept your
"That is precisely what she did do.n
at is mott Mrs. Blank began; and then,
considering that if she said true it would be
showing more knowledge of Mrs, Blanks af-
fairs than was compatible with pretending to
be another person, she changed her sentence
and said, ''creditable that she should accept
you and then marry another man,
"She didn't, Kate her husband said in his
own voice, 'she married me-"
"Tom!n she cried
eyes, my dear, Tom answered; ''you told
me at our party that / couldn't fool you"
you are a wretch and a monster" she de
clared, 'and l wiilneyer forgive you.n
But she lid, and told the joke at her own
expense before the evening was over-Boston

once used to haul q man who was the
meanest man that ever rode in a car. That
was when we had bobtail cars on this line,
was a driver in those days, and this man used
to sit close up to the box whenever he rode.
My attention was attracted to him one day
in this wise: An old colored man got on the
car and changed a dime to pay his fare.
When looked in the box to drop his fare
there lay a ticket Now | was almost posi-
tive the old man didn't have ticket, so just
kept lookout In few moments a lady en-
tered and plainly saw her pass nickel to
this man. Do you know what he did1 Not
Then I'll tell you. He put the nickel in his
pocket and dropped a ticket in the box, thus
making five-sixths of a cent tried to make
him feel bad and exposed him before the
whole car, but he didn't mind it; said had
the fare and ought to be satisfied. Interview

Color Blindness.

Color blindness is a congental defect, and
is incurabe. The man who is born with it
must submit to his limitations as long a. he
lives, and is simply playing ostrich when he
tries TO deceive himself or others into a belief
contrary TO this, Some color blind individ-
uals suffer under greater disabilities than
others, but true color blind person is never
sure to select either green or red correctly.
The true method OF detecting color blindness
scientifically is to test this subject with the
colors TO which no is blind, and with "con-
fusion colors" a sufficient number of times TO
provide against the possibility Of his making
the right selection by chance This can be
done with worsted or with common yarn
even old stocziugs-or with painted board.
If the proper coiors are clearly defined. Il
can also be done with the aid Of flags or Ian

One of the drivers on the Wheat street line
is getting fat on sweetened hot water.
He weighed 1913 pounds. He had his dinner
sent to him every day, but was troubled for
some time as to what he should drink, as he
did not use coffee
He tried hot water tea, but that did not
suit him, so he began to take a small coffee
pot full of sweetened not water at every
meal He liked 1t so much that he continued
its use, and would now miss it as much as an
inveterate coffee drinker would miss his
morning cup Of Java.
The driver began to fatten, and now weighs
2lS-sixty pounds more than he weighed be-
fore he began drinking hot water.-Atlanta

Unreal as that Of night
A little May Of hloSsoming bliss
With warmth and sunshine bright
No doubt 70 chill its budding faith
No past TO cloud the soul
A lnstrous, silvery, noonilde wrath,
With heaven It's starry goal
Bold youth All tender are the chords
Its halcyon harp sends FORTH
Ambition teeming thought affords
Weird as the frost clad north
And love with wild ecstatlc fiamo
Leaps high Ia rapturous Joy!
Gorgeous the shining mines OF fame,
All gold without alloy
Ripe manhood Real the war Of life,
No ideal visions now
But fiery passions, wrestling, rife!
Hard wrought the toil bound browl
Laurels lie not IN every PATH
Bread Is the priceless boonl
Triumph the mocking aftermath
That seldom comes too sooni
And seel Old age Is In the airl
The garish lights burn l0wl
Distant the fields that once were fair!
Yondcr the wild flowers blow
Sail on, o, soul n roseate morn
Awaits thine opening eyes,
When waking amid scenes new born
Beyond the cloudless skies!
