secretary after New Years, Ell? What q
handy tool ne would be there if only that
force bill had passed.
If little Ruth Cleveland was not born with
ga golden spoon in her mouth she will soon
have one. The Glover club. of New York
city will spoon'er.
A Yankee named Streeter is over in Lon
don promoting company with a capital Of
SS225, 900 with which to exploit the ruby and
sapphire mines in Montana. Can't we get
somewhere or somehow some protection
against this flood of cheap English gold
which is inundating the country?
The Golden club are shrewd fellows; too
sly forour Republicans. Here they are send
ing over their gold with every ocean grey
Hound by the million, to defeat Mckinley
and because they have cunningly disguised
it by calling it pay for wheat, the guiIeless
and unsophisticated Republicans are ac-
tually rubbing their hands with glee and
pointing with pride to it as a proof of the
wonderful merits OF the Mckinley bill. What
precious lot of softies they are to be sure.

What bold, bald bluff Harrison is playing
on Germany. Unless that very foolish and
have our wheat and pork and rye cheaper be-
cause freed from their imposts. the wise
Benjamin says to them that he will clap tax
on the beet sugar they send us and MAKE US
sugar consumers pay more for it. Perhaps
the Germans may have heard Of that little
proposition which legendary history says
Moses made to Aaron about the disposition
each should make of his nose, and In this in
stance it might be well for them to search
the recently discovered leaves Of the Talmud
to see If Moses really carried out his PROPOSE
ton. 1t is pretty well settled that Aaron ds-
clined it. AS matter of cold fact Harrison
would no more dare to restore the sugar AK
than he would dare to decline @ renomina-
ton, and the Germans ought to be cute
enough to know it without being told.
Well, well, whom can one believer just as
the disturbance in Republican circles caused
by the announcement from Washington that
Knute Nelson had said positively that he
was out Of politics for good and wouldn't
take nomination for governor or senator
under any conceivable circ umstances, or be
anything but plain K. Nelson, attorney at
law. had mostly quieted down, here comes a
ruthless reporter in a Minneapolis paper
who says he has seen Knute, and that he said
that the Washington rep crter who said that
Knute said, ETC., was fakir and his yarn
fake. Now here is a good, healthy lie look
ing for father, and who of the three is he?
NOW there has been great cutlery about
the wool schedule. My llow-citiZens the
increase of the duty OH wool was for the di-
rect benefit of the American farmer; it was
for the benefit of declining industry, made
and caused to decline by unwiss legislation
in 1888. Now, say, my fellow-citlzens, that
if there Is any industry which ought to be
protected, if there Is any article which
America ought to produce itself 1t is its own
wool" No my friend, that is not quota
ton from Senator Davis speech the other
day at Buffalo, but it Is what he said on the
stump last fall. The senator never touched
wool at all; has sort O. lost interes tin that
great American industry" which has kept
right on declining in spite of the Mckinley
bill, and he now thinks that the particular
industry that needs first attention is manu-
featuring Republican votes south of Mason
and Dixon's line. Come to think of it. it
would have been somewhat confusing TO
have touched on the wool schedule at Buff
falo; better say nothing about 1t.
That Washington correspondent of the
Pioneer Press is what the esteemed A. Ward
would term "a artlesS little cusS." when he
gets orders from home to pad he ''swashes
round among facts and fancies and institu-
tons in a manner which would delight Sena-
ator Washburn even. Here is his best: Ger
many has for many years imported the bulk
of her breadstuffs and we have been trying
TO furnish them, but!have nothing to trade"
That is. we have been trying to get Germany
to take our breadstuffs and to give her ''some-
thing to boot" Here's another that is full
enough of light and sweetness to satisfy
Matthew Arnold. 1.-The concessions we make
are SO great that reproductions in other
countries will not materially affect our mar
ket there" Wonderfully lucid isn't it? But
he only reaches his full measures of erudi-
ton, winding up in an ecstacy of small caps.
when he tells a gaping world that Indeed
the Republican party is again entering on an
era of dollar wheat; more than that it has in
creased the price to that point and promises
to push it above
AND KEEP IT THERE"
