POOR OLD MORTON.
The Eice-President l. Very Dignitied Blu,
Doesn't Know the Rules.

The vice-President l. Very Dignihed Bu,
Doesn't Know the Rules.
Vice President Morton is very fine
old gentleman and gifted in many re-
spects. lie is diplomat of rare quail
tiles and | never saw another who could
wear wig with better grace. But
there is one thing he can not do. He
can not learn the rules of the Senate.
He presides with dignity, in fact lends
as much dignity to the position as any
man who has ever occupied the chair,
but he has to be prompted at nearly
every stage of the proceedings. Ed
munds is chief prompter, ingalls, as
sistant prompter and Fry sometimes
acts as sub-assistant. Edmunds occu-
pies the front seat almost under the
eyebrows of the presiding officer, and
constantly keeps on the watch to see
that Mr.. Morton makes no blunders.
When some motion is made or a pre-
liminary question asked, the Vice
President, in a hesitating sort of way,
begins to state the case as nearly as he
can get at it, all the time watching the
face of the distinguished Senator from
Vermont for signs of approval or cor
rection. If the Vermont sage mods his
head the Vice-President, with a firmer
confidence, proceeds to state the
question. A look of disapproval will at
once bring the VicePresident to a
standstill, and then Mr.. Edmunds with
the least suspicion of a twinkle under
his eyebrows, will rise and state, as if
in argument or suggestion to the chair,
,h,k h he go NM
of the case. The Vlce-Presi-
dent Immediately reproduces this
language with graphophonic accuracy.
Sometimes Mr.. Morton gets the impress
sion that he knows enough about the
rules to take care of this business for
himself. Then he almost invariably
falls into error. When he puts himself
to this position, Mr.. Edmunds and Mr..
Ingalls, appear in a quiet sort of way to
enjoy the situation. Sometimes the one
and sometimes the other will get up,
and in parliamentary language, and
manner of extreme suavity, give the
presiding officer a lecture on parliament
airy usage. Some of these discourses
are extremely amusing from their as.
sumption of dignity and seriousness
while dealing with the most trivial
ponit of parliamentary order, which to
the Vice-President is as perplexing as
the old Is puzzle. 1t is understood to
be very sore point with Mr., Morton
that he has constantly to be coached by
these two gentlemen; but he can not
help himself, for every time he makes
declaration of independence he gets
into trouble, and has to stand the deli
cate irony of the Senator from Vermont.

The Iowa Spokesman Talks Too Much TOR
His own Good.

Mr.. J. s Clarkson, the First Assistant
Postmaster General, is wonderful
man. He has been cutting of the heads
of Democratic postmasters until he is
tired of the work, and now he is deliv-
oring political lectures at the North by
way of variety. He is not only wonder
full, but great A few years ago, while
he was editor of the Iowa State Regis
ter, he printed in his editorial columns
a statement to the effect that when the
great "star-shower" occurred in 1888
the falling stars could be heard rafting
on the leaves of the trees.
This sort of thing is characteristic of
Clarkson. He has now quit telling
about the stars in order to tell some
wonderful stories about the South. The
starstory was merely an innocent lie,
but the lies about the South are told in
order to help the Republican party.
These political lies are patent enough
to every body except the deluded people
who sit and listen to him, and good
many of those must recognize the most
of Clarkson's statements to be lies if
they read the newspapers. His COM
plant is that Republicans are not al
lowed to hold Office in the South, and
yet there is hardly county in any part
of the South where Republicans are not
holding office.
As for the negroes, it is natural that
| their appointment as postmasters in
communities where there are plenty of
white Republicans should cause irrita-
ton; but do the Southern people pre-
vent the negro from holding office at the
North? Has the Southern bulldozer ter
rorized the President and Mr.. Clarkson
to such an extent that they are afraid
to appoint negroes to Office in the
North? If not, why have no negroes
been appointed to Office in the North?
These are very interesting questions.
The President and Mr.. Clarkson have
not hesitated to appoint negro postmas-
tCrs in the South, where they knew that
such appointments are likely to cause
irritation; but why have they hesitated
to appoint negro postmasters at the
North? Are the Northern negroes unfit
to hold office? Would the white people
protest against such appointments?
There are great many negroes in Iowa
Mr.. Clarkson's State-and many of
them are said to be well educated; but
how many negro officials are there in
Iowa? In the whole State has Mr.. Clark
son appointed one negro postmaster?
1t would seem from this that the gay
bulldozer has entrusted his bulldoZing
operations to the present Administra-
tion.-Atlanta Constitution

A Safe Guard,

Few people living in malarial country
but occasionally need q vigorous tonic,
either to keep off the malarial feeling or
else TO cure the disease if it once gets into
the system There is no more uncomiort
able disease that affects humanity than
chills and fever. 1t drives away energy
and ambition. 1t makes one feel sick aud
mean all over. A safe guard against the
disease and sure cure is Smiths Tonic
Syrup, made by DR.. John Bull, of Louis
ville,' KY A single bottle will do for an en-
tire family. 1t is far better than quininee
as no arrangement of the system ever fol
lows its use. The use of quinine causes
buzzing in the ears, dizzy sensations, nausea
and sometimes even commissions and
paralysis. Use Smiths Tonic syrup and
all such danger is avoided. In fact it has
all the good medicinal qualities of qulnine
with none of its evil nature.

THE SURPLUS BUSTERS.
A Deficit in Place of One Hundred Mill
ions In the Treasury.


ions In the Treasury.
When Grover Cleveland sent his IA
nous tariff reform message to Congress
de drew attention to the fact that the
country was confronted with "a condi-
tion--not a theory" That condition
was an overwhelming and growing sur
plus in the National treasury, due to
over-taxation. Mr. Cleveland proposed
to reduce this surplus by relieving the
people from the burden of unnecessary
taxation, and the Democrats in control
of the popular branch of Congress re-
sponded to his demand by bill which
supplied in small part the remedy
which he proposed. This measure
the Mills bill-was defeated in the
Senate under the control of the Repub-
licans.
1t is only little more than year
since Grover Cleveland went out of
office. And now it is reported from
Washington that the ensuing year will
probably show a deficit of 500, 600, 900
instead of surplus of 500, 900, O0O
How has this remarkable change been
brought about? Not by reduction of
taxation, because the taxes have not
been reduced. Not by any increased
necessities of the Government, for there
has been no war nor great National
calamity demanding extraordinary ex-
penditures There has been no vast
scheme of National improvements to
drain the treasury of its resources.
What is the explanation?
The process of converting huge sur
plus into an appalling deficit within two
years has been clearly outlined by the
legislation which has been passed and
which is further projected by the pres
ent Congress. The estimates are made
on the basis of the extravagant appro-
priations which are outlined and the
projected changes in the revenue sys-
TEN. With the exception of occasional
objections to some meritorious bill for
public building, there has been uni
form disposition to swell the appropria-
tions in every possible direction. The
plan has been seriously contemplated to
absorb all possible surplus revenues by
voting dependent pensions, service PEN
sions, back pensions and pensions under
various designations. If the pension
raids do not suffice TO get rid of the rev.
enues. then it is hoped the Mckinley
bill will do the businessmen by re-
ducing taxation, but by increasing it to
such an extent as to prohibit certain
importations and transferring the taxes
heretofore paid to the Government into
the pockets of private individuals and
corporations paid in the form of boun-
ties.
Which is the better plan for getting
rid of the surplus-the Cleveland plan
OF reducing unnecessary taxes or the
pending plan for increasing appropria-
tons and also increasing taxation on
Imports to a prohibitory figure? That
wall be the question for the people to
aeeide.-Kansas City Star.
