kiNLEY AND MILLS.
Facts Which the Repuhiicaa Organ
Grin.lers S.ould Not Eorget.

Facts Which the Republican Organ
GrinierS Should Not Forget.
Republican journalists should take a
few lessons from the exemplars Of plan
tation manners in the South. The
treatment, for instance, of Mr. Mills by
the average journalist OF the North is a
discredit not to Mr.. Mills but to North
ern journalism. Take. for instance, the
following paragraph from a reputable
Brooklyn paper:
The wandcrings of Mr. Mills. Of Texas. on
the stump, preaching what he is pleased to
term tariff reform and paying thrilling tribute
TO Columbia while he denounces the force bill
are, If Considered from the humorous stand
point, funny. But ne is very serious man
There is reason to believe that he believes in
himself great deal and has not faith that the
country can get along without him. Mr. Mills
must have something large concealed in the
back parlor of his mind.
The Democratic party has nothing to
be ashamed of in having chosen Mr.
Mills as chairman of the ways and
! means committee. The measure which
he introduced and the methods by
which that bill was advocated, ex-
planned and defended suffer at no point
in comparison with the record made by
the Republicans in dealing with the
same subject under the direction of Mr..
Mckinley. of Ohio.
The Mills bill united the Democratic
party. The Mckinley bill divided the
Republican party.
The Mills bill reduced taxation; the
Mckinley bill increases taxation.
The Mills bill was drawn in behalf of
the masses; the Mckinley bill is bill
for the exclusive benefit of classes.
The Mills bill put binding Irvine and
cotton ties upon the free list; the Nc
Kinley bill taxes both of these.
The Mills bill struck at the very prin-
! ciple of trusts and com binations; the
Mckinley bill fosters trusts and subsi-
dies rings.
The Mills bill EN- bodies the principles
of liberty of action, liberty of exchange,
and accords with the spirit of modern
life. The Mckinley bill is reminis-
cence of the Middle Ages and embodies
/ all of the absurd restric lions and false
economic doctrines of the colonial sys-
TENS of European Governments two,
three or four hundred years ago.
The people believe in Mills and in
the Mills bill. In his speeches in Con-
gress and in his addresses throughout
/
| self to he master of his subject; earn
est, aggressive, but courteous and
thoroughly sincere.
Mr.. Mckinley palters in a double
sense; his speeches lack force, distinct t.
ness and fairness. In dealing with his
subject there is narrowness of view,
bigotry, blindness that carries him,
his measures and his party to defeat.
The Republican press can no longer
deceive the people in this respect. They
have tried to make great man of Mr..
Mckinley and to belittle the character
and attachments of Mr.. Mills. But it is
beyond the power of the press to make
great men. They come to the bar of
public opinion to be judged and when
so arraigned the Democrats may we'll be
satisfied with their mpion.-Louis-

Dried strawberry Leaves.

'Mr. Childs will pay twelve cents a
pound for strawberry leaves"
Two small pairs of ears heard Mrs.
Allison say this about the new mer-
chant Then Alice went out of the
room, and beckoned Nettie to follow.

Mother Banks wasn't as much excit-
ed as the girls when they told her their
plans.
ut will take great many to weigh
pound" she said.
But the girls were all courage, and
that afternoon they went into the past
ure and busily picked strawberry leaves
where, a few weeks before, they had
picked berries.
It was pleasant work. The bobolinks
came about and chartered saucily, the
robins whistled in the treetops, and
they found a ground-bird's nest with
three tiny, spotted eggs.
When the horn blew for supper, they
went home and spread their leaves in
the back chamber to dry. The floor
was covered.
What shall we buy with our money!
was now the great question, and they
made all sorts of plans.
They looked at the leaves every day,
surprised that they shrank up SO.
When at last they were dry, the girls
took them to the store, and Mr.. Childs
weighed them-half pound.
So they had three cents apiece.

TO TUNNEL NIAGARA.

The Contract Let for the Tunnel to De-
velop the Water Power of Niagara
Falls.
NEW YORK, Sept A special from
Lockport to the World says the tunnel
scheme at Niagara Falls for developing
unlimited water power seems to be an
assured thing. The contract has been
awarded by the Cataract Construction
Company to Rogers & Clement, New
York contractors, but the exact amount
is not known. The papers, including
the bond of the contractors for $500, 600,
are in preparation. The Niagara Falls
Tunnel Company first secured the fran
chise in the Legislature of 1885. and
since then sold it and other rights to
the Cataract Construction Company,
with the proviso that the undertaking
be compile ted by January l, 1892.

Origin of the Name Picnic.

Almost any boy or girl can tell you
what picnic is like; but / wonder how
many know why it is so called. or that
the custom is said to date only from
1902, not hundred years ago.
Then, as now, when such an enter
tainment was being arranged for, it was
customary that those who intended to
be present should supply the eatables
and drinkables. Originally the plan
was to draw up list of what was nee
essary, which is an excellent one
to follow, for often, when there has
been no previous agreement, it is dis
covered, when too late, that there is too
much OF one kind of food and not
enough of another.
The list was passed round, and each
person picked out the article of food or
drink he or she was willing to furnish,
and the name of the article was then
ntcked off the list. So it was from these
two words, picked and nicked, that this
form of out-of-door entertainment first
became known as "pick-and-nick, :"
and then as picnic, the old-fashioned
name for the basket parties of to-day

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept 1.-THE public
and press here are anxiously awaiting
the arrival of American newspapers to
ascertain their feeling regarding the
killing of Barrundia. and to learn what
measures the United States Government
will take in the matter. The Mexican
press generally speaks of the killing of
Barrundia by the Guatemalan authori-
ties as an atrocious deed, and believes
that the United States Government
should take action at once for the pun
ishment of his assassins, and for an in

MS own State, ne appears ~ nave be-
come embittered, and he is now proba-
bly, the only man possessed of repu-
:ation who would attempt to lead tho
faction in the Senate that is seeking to
force the passage of such measure.
MIR. Hoars argument was not only weak,
butlt was weakly put, and utterly failed
to hold the attention of the large audi
ence that had gathered to hear him.
The fact that the State once repre-
scented by Webster, and afterward by
Sumner and Wilson, should now be
represented in the Senate by Dawes
and Hoar, is one of the worst signs Of
the degeneracy brought about by mar
row partisanship. Mr.. Hoar has never
been noted for any high order of in
tellectual ability. He is a querulous
and some what ridiculous person, whose
appearance naturally suggests to the
caricaturist the feminine night cap in
which the Senator usually figures in
the cartoons. There vas nothing to be
said for him except that he was emf
nently respectable and not likely to be
carried away by wild crazes or to be-
come the tool of corruptionists Since
this can no longer be said the humilia-
ton of Massachusetts is complete.
As an argument in favor of the force
bill, Mr.. Hoar's speech amounted to
actually nothing. 1t was a repetition
of the old cries of fraud without even
an attempt to show that the pending
measure can accomplish any thing
where similar measures had utterly
failed in the past. 1t probably changed
the opinion of no living man, and its
only possible influence is that on Mr..
Hoar's reputation already referred to-

The Strange Story of n Papoose Uncle
Jock Told the Children.
Here is the very latest story which
Uncle Jock told the children the other
day, while Uncle Jake was carving a
whistle out of an alder branch for little
Ted.
''You want an Indian story, do you?''
said Uncle Jock.
Tell 'em about what we found in a
tree once" said Uncle Jake, as he
smoothed the mouthpiece of the whistle
with his big knife.

And when they were all seated Uncle
Jock began:
Our house stood on hill, on the edge
of the old apple orchard which reached
from the back door-yard fence to the
river shore. A great, spreading russell
tree grew near the bank, and it was I'M
der this tree that the Indians used to
camp, when travelling up and down the
river in their canoes. We got so we
were pretty well acquainted with them,
and we would run down the hill the
minute we saw the smoke from their
fires, or caught glimpse of their wig
vans through the trees.
One morning mother came to the foot
of the stairs and called US to breakfast.
But we were like little Ted here-we
hated to get UP. So we just opened our
eyes little, threw the bed clothes off
and then turned over and went to sleep
again. But when she called us second
time, and told US the Indians were in the
orchard, we jumped into our clothes in
a hurry and started on run for the
river, forgetting all about breakfast and
every thing else We rushed along the
path through the tall rye that grew on
the flats, slipping and sliding on the
windfalls that were scattered under the
apple trees, never stopping until we
reached the wigwam.
There was no one to be seen, and we
thought at first that they were all
asleep, but pretty soon we heard strange
sounds inside, as though some one was
grooming or trying to sing without
knowing how. We were at loss what
| to make of it. Always before the In
dams had come out to meet US when We
visited the wigwam, and we began tc

now what do you think it was? You
can't guess, Ell? Well, it was real live

had found.

fine style. We climbed the tree and
united the strings, while mother held
out her arms and caught it as it fell,

when it saw the strange faces, bending
over it, but mother crooned, and talked
baby talk, and it soon was laughing
again. She carried it to the house and
fed it. Then we spread the blanket on
the floor, and Jake and l got down on
all fours and played with it, 1t was
such a good-natured little fellow that
we had lots of fun.
Did we keep it? Yes, for couple of
hours. At the end of that time, just as
we were in the midst of a grand frolic,
the papoose stretched out its hands
toward the open door and began to cry.
We looked around and saw an Indian
woman standing there. She walked in,

the last we ever saw of that baby.-H
