A Melting THO.


Where the days are piping hot,
In the heart OF Africay,
Lived little Hottentet
In his simple artless way;
There he wooed merry maid
Who was full of happy fun,
Though twas ninety in the shade
And two hundred in the sun.
OF her frizzy, kinlcy locks
The little nald was proud;
And she had O toilet-box
Which used to murmur loud;
OF monkey-grease pomAde
The toilet-box was full
And the dusky little Jade
w ould rub il on her wool.
But alas! one fatal day
They left the palm-tree's shade
The Hottentot SO gay
And the merry little maid;
And the blistering, burning sun
On their kinky heads shone fun,
Till it focused on the one
With pomade upon the wool.
Then the maiden slowly fried
On the sands OF AfricAy,
And in agony she died
In most heaFt-rending way,
Ald here and there . stain
That leads toward the shade
Is sill that doth remain
OF that foolish little maid.

A NEEDLESS EXPLANATION.

"Ah, my siren!' said the dreamy-looking
young man, as he toyed with the silk with
which she was working pink bird on a yellow
slipper, ''do you know what it was that first
drew me to you2''
or course she didn't!
SIT was your eyes-your beautiful, bewilder-
ing eyes. There Is something in their mystical,
fAthomless depths that holds me, little one, as
the needle is held by the Pole"
"a case of hooks-and-eyes?'' she asked, as
she threaded green bug in the blue bill Of the
pink bird. Polk SWAPS.

PARTISAN FAJSEHOODS.
MIR. Cannon Shows That There VIII Il,
No Treasury Deficit.

Mr.. Cannon Shows That There VIII Be
No Treasury Deficit.
The Democratic press has for weeks
been full of reckless statements to the
effect that the present Congress has
passed legislation, including the dis
ability pension measure, requiring so
much money that there will be an enor-
| nous Treasury deficit Representative
Cannon, chairman of the House COM
mittee on appropriations, has made a
clear and concise statement showing
the falsity of the Democratic charge.
He says:
The ordinary revenues Of the Government
for the fiscal year ended June 3d. 1889, are re.
ported by the Treasury at s402 083, 600; under
existing laws there is no reason to anticipate
less sum from the ordinary revenue during
1891. The postal revenues for 1891 are es-
timated by the PostmasterG General at S., Ala,
900, making total of 1857 900. Deducting
aggregate appropriations of $3.50, 100000, there
will be surplus of Sl17, 900, which is more
than ample to meet the requirements of the
new pension law and the reduction of taxation
from the enactment of the Mckinley bill, es-
timated at 100000.
With surplus of over S117, 600, 600
The one item that will show any large
increase of expenditures is that for pen
sions, and we are quite sure that the
Republicans of the Nation-and good
many Democrats, too-will not grumble
at this.
Any reasoning person knows that, az
the country grows in population and in
wealth-and our growth in both these
is rapid-the expenditures necessarily
increase. And he knows, too, that the
revenues steadily increase also. And he
also knows that the money expended by
the Government at once goes into circu-
lation, and helps the business of the
country. So long as expenditures are
wisely made-and none has been au-
thorized by the present Congress that is
not-there is no reason for fault-fnd-
ing, if the expenditure is within the
revenue. That this is the fact is con-
clusively shown by Mr.. Cannon.-Toledo

The Party of America Idea q.

There is abundance of work for the
Republican party to do. but its central
idea, that around which platforms must
be shaped and declarations of principle
formulated, must be the National, the
American idea There is room within
the party for every sincere friend of lib
erty, every advocate of National prog
ress, every admirer of American insti-
tutions, whether he were born on Amer
lean or foreign soil; but if he be an
alien who insists on retaining his for
eign nationality and who becomes an
American citizen only with the selfish
motive of advancing his personal inter
ests, let him go to the Democratic party,
where he belongs, and where he will find
congenial company in certain native
born citizens who prefer every country
under the broad canopy of heaven 10
their own, and who should crimson with
shame at their lack of patriotism and
absence of affection for their native
land, San Francisco Chronicle,

Fame.

Fame and good reputation consists IN
doing the right thing in the right way at the
right time. Generals are famous who led
the way to victory. Orators are famous
who touched the heart of the people. Smith s
Tonic Syrup is famous because it has ever
accomplished correct results Used in the
right way at the right time it invariably
does the right thing. 1t never makes q
failure. 1t never brings disappointment. It
was invented by the eminent DR.. John Bull,
of Louisville, KY, as a substitute for qui-
nine Itdoes its work oven better than was
expected. 1t has all the good qualities OF
quinine and none of its evil tendencies II
cures chills and fever, colds, Influenza, Ia
grippe, etc, even when quinine fails. 1t is
pleasant to take and children like 1t. Ii
builds up broken down constitution and
fortifies it against the insidious attacks Of
malarial influences.
