about it the other day he said:
Il put on a cheerful face when they

said if they wanted only $1,000 they
could have it by asking for it. why
didn't you tell me that when you were
At my house?' l asked. You would have
saved me and yourself a lot of trouble.
What do care for $1,000 or twice tha.
much? would rather have paid it than
to have been disturbed from my sleep.
Now you just let me finish my sleep
right here. Guard me as you like. but
let me have my sleep out, and when I
awake we viii go back and you shall
have the money. No one but myself can

want to be taken up into the mountains
where my friends could not find me.
They seemed TO like my proposition, and,
after holding meeting in another room,
they said was good fellow. and treat
ed me TO first class drink of shamshoo.
A bed was made, and when lay down
half a dozen men guarded me. | knew
that my relatives would use everv possi-
Die means to find out where had been
taken, and that in a few hours they
might be at the farm house. So made
my hours in bed as long as could. 1t

Then | rushed ont of the door in time to
see a dozen of the bandits running for

climbing out Of the back windows, as il
the house was on fire. At that moment
my younger brother, at the head Of ten
neighbors, all armed with swords. rushed
in. They found two of the bandits hid
ing behind a screen. These were bound
hand and foot and taken back TO the
town. Later they were sent tn Canton

ished them for life.'

NO MONKEYING.

Speaker Beeds ruling on the question
of a quorum in the house is pretty unan-
imously endorsed by the Republican
party throughout the country. although
it establishes a precedent, being con-
trary to the uniform practice Of that
body hitherto. There is one feature of
the ruling that invests it with special
concern to the Republican members of
congress, and that is, they are not to take
advantage of it and wilfully or carelessly
absent themselves from the house while
in session. The ruling, as we under
stand it, is simply meant as an emerg-
ency expedient and not to be followed
up and resorted to on any and all occa-
sions to accommodate recolcitrants. At
the time and under the circumstances
the country unquestionably endorses
the action of the speaker, but
it will not sanction the abuse
Of it. The Republicans have a
majority of the house and it is unreason-
able to suppose that causes will operate
to reduce their number ct any time to a
greater extent than that Of the opposi-
ton.
There is a common idea eXtant that
the more evenly divided the parties the
better for the country in matters of leg
islation, selecting public officers, andso-
forth. II there is any force Or point to
the suggestion there could not be a bet
ter opportunity to exemplify it than is
afforded by the present condition in both
houses of congress. The fact that the
Republicans have only small majority
in either house makes it all the more
obligatory on them to attend all sessions
of those bodies unless unavoidably
hindered. Therefore we say again
that the responsibility that rests upon
the members OF the majority party
in the house to be in their
places with the utmost promptneSs and
punctuality is not lessened one whit, but
is rather increased, by the ruling of
Speaker Reed on the point in question.
That matchless soldier-statesman, U. S.
Grant, never uttered truer or loftier
sentiment than when he said 'He serves
his party best who serves his country
best" The Republicans in congress,
small as their majority is, have the op-
portunity as well as the incentive to ex-
emplify the maxim quoted just now.
Let them conform their line Of policy to
this principle and the Democrats will
antagonize them at their party's peril.
The depressed condition of the country
leaves mighty little room for by-plays in
matters of legislation. The country is
not in humor to enjoy pyrotechic dis
plays.

a Modern Philosopher.
From the Emporia News.

From the EmpOrla NEWS
Martin Mohler. secretary of the state
board of agriculture, must surely be a
philosopher if there be any such among
US. He attributes the hard condition of
the farmers TO their want OF thrift, ex
travagant living. attempts TO ape the
manners of the fashionable, and so forth.
He admits other causes, but emphasizes
these. Lack of thrift and extravagant
living may explain to some extent the
fact that man is poor and hard up, as
the common phrase goes, but does it ex-
plain or account for 12 cent corn and
cent oats: Let Philosopher Mohler ex-
plain how laziness. unthrift and extrava-
eance gluts the market and brings prices
fu1nbling down. If he can do that, he
will be a greater man than Pythagoras.

A Sensible Reform.

From the Atchison Champion.
We are not accustomed to look to Aus
tria or Hungary for reform of any kind
social, political or religious, but the
movement which has been started in
Emperor Francis Joseph's dominions to
do away with the custom Of removing
the hat at funerals has SO much good
sense to recommend it that this would
more appropriately have been the coun-
try of its origin. Almost every one
knows within his personal experience Of
deaths directly traceable to the practice
of standing with barred head in open air
during inclement weather. The custom
has nothing but long usage to commend
it, and might very properly and adyan-
tageously be abandoned.

fact of Mexicaps counterfeiting our

terfeiting incident, is to have the guam

at the gold standard. Ii this were done

the coin now in existence in order to
prevent the loss of the difference between
the present standard dollar and the pro-
posed new com. The scheme is too
gauzy. The country hasn't forgotten
the trade dollar" faux pas yet. The
only objection the people have to the
standard silver dollars IS their scarcity.
