REruBMcAN PAPERS are keeping in
conspicuous view of the public the fact
that while foreign nations put Mr..
Bayard into state of tremulous trep-
ida,ion during his official career as
Secretary of State, Mr.. Blaine stands in
his boots undismayed, unruffled and

THE PASSING OF THE BLONDE" is
being discussed by the Philadelphia
press. Our contemporaries are of the
opinion that these delightful specimens
of personal beauty are about to retire.
We do not agree with this view, for in
our experience they pass and repass,
and we know it every time.

THE TROUBLE about the silver ques-
ton is that the country does not need
the extra amount of silver which is to
be injected into the currency, but the
mine owners do. Free coinage would
increase the value of the silver mines,
but it would ultimately decrease the
value Of every other species Of property.

SENATOR HAwLEy's statement that
the Senate of the United States is the
hardest working legislative body in the
world is challenged In reply il is
urged that many Senators are absent
from their seats for many months at a

There is a suspicion on the public mind
that the hardest work Senators do be-

A LEGEND OF THE SIOUX.

A strange legend comes to us from
the Sioux, who alone can tell the true
history of that deadly ambuscade.
They say that on the hillock where
Custer fell now grows a plant never
seen there before-a curious plant
with tall, slender leaves, curved in
the exact form of a sabre, with edges
so sharp as to infict keen wounds
upon unwary hands, and those who
pluck it once soon drop it, SO strange
ly cold and clammy are its leaves. 1t
hears a golden-hued, heart-shaped
blossom, and in the center is one
small spot of brilliant red, Ike a drop
of blood. The Indians regard it with
superstitious awe. They call it
"Custer's Heart" and cannot be in
duced to touch it, claiming that the
blossom crushed in the hand leaves a
blood-red stain impossible to remove.

BEATS LIGHTNING CALCU-
I1ATOES.

In Bridgeport, Conn, is. q young
Polish boy named Paul Zizisky, who
has been performing wonders, writes
correspondent Of the Boston HeraM
His personal appearance is described
as unprepossessing. He has low
forehead, with hair growing: down t5
his forehead; is rather sleepy-looking
and shambles in his movements. But
whenever his father asks him qnes-
ton relative to numbers he Mt once
brightens up and becomes excited,
''The father said: paul, how many
beans are there in this handful?"
The boy commenced at once to
dance around the store, and became
greatly excited as his father thrust his
hand into a barrel of beans and took
out handful and threw them into
corner, where they lay scattered about.
The lad leaped into the air, and al
most before the beans touched the
floor shouted the reply.
The beans were carefully gathered
and counted, and while this was being
done the boy grinned and waved.
The result showed him to be correct
to a bean. He relapsed into his usual
ly sleepy manner again.
The father then seized a handful of
oats and put them in a heap rpor the
counter
paul" said he, chow many oats?"
The boy again jumped to his feet,
devoured the oats mentally, and in
stantly shouted the ni.mber. 1t took
q long time to count them, but the
number was again found to be cor
rect.
Next the father seized a half-filed
pail Of water, and asked the boy:
GLOW many cubic inches Of water in
the pail?"
The boy sized it up with his eyes
and quickly shouted, "a hundred and
sixteenw
A careful computation proved the
boy to be right. Other wonderful
answers were given, always in an ex-
cited manner. After each and every
successful answer the same doleful
expression returned.

\ REPUBLICAN MARES NEST.

For some weeks past The Eepubli-
can organs have been indulging in 81
great deal of talk about the inroads
that the Farmers Alliance is making
on the Democratic vote in the South,
and they are now trying to make them
selves believe that the farmers move
ment will so reduce the Democratic
representation in the House, as tc give
the Republicans control OF it. They
do not seem to understand that every
man nominated by the Farmers ALI
ance in the Southern States for Con-
gress, is a Democrat for the simple
reason that the farmers themselves are
Democrats, and will remain Demo-
Gratis. There was farmers move
,nent in Alabama short time ago and
it resulted in the election of Demo-
cratic State and members of the Legis-
latue. Yesterday in Arkansas, the
farmers of the Alliance turned out
and elected Governor Eagle to sec
ond term by the largest majority that
a democratic nominee ever received
in that State. In South Carolina,
where there has been good deal Of
bitter feeling engendered by the Till
manites, the men who are supporting
him fer Governor are Democrats, and
the congressman from that State
whether they be straightouts or Alii-
ance men, will be Democrats, just as
the men who have been nominated by
the farmers in Georgia have been in
the harness Of the Democracy for
years. All the consolation the Re-
publicans can get out of the farmers
movement in the South, they can put
in their eye. In the West, however,
they will find that the Alliance pole
will knock down a great many Repub-
lican persimmons.-N. o. States, End

GIVE THE SMALL FRY A
CHANCE.

The laws in Louisiana are very
strict against gambling houses, and
faro and keno men are not allowed to
carry on these games in the State.
If it is right to legalize the Louisi-
ana Lottery Company, BECAUSE it will
pay a license of 81, ,25O,000 per an
mum, why wouldn't it also be right to
give keno, faro and other gamblers Il
chance to pay license to the State? :?
because few rich men get together
and offer over a million to the State
for the privilege of running gam
bling concern, is it right to debar
gamblers with smaller means from
paying a smaller license to the State
and also running gambling games? :?
If the .lotteryites are not work
ing in the interest of John A. Morris
concern, but are simply after helping
along the State financially, here is
something for them to think about.
Give. the gamblers with $500 or
$1,000 apiece a chance to pay that
much into the State Treasury as Il
cense, and the reeenues of the State
will be largely increased.
1t cannot be said that the Louisiana
Lottery is f;airer gambling method
than faro Or kero games. John A.
Morris and his dealers are not satisfied
with less than so per cent profit
while faro and keno men only deduct
- or 20 per cent
II you give rich gamblers license
privilege give poor gamblers the same
right. No monopoly-no class legis-
lat,on for the To'en Talk, but equal
TO all, special favors to none.
We have often heard pro-lottery
men say: people don't have to buy
lottery tickets unless they want to- %
Very true. Neither will people have
to play keno or faro unless they want
to, SO we say if Louisiana is to be sup
ported by gambling, give all the
gambling boys chance. If you Ii
cense one, because it has grown rich,
give the poorer fellows chance also.
