Man.
Brandon Bucksalc.
After his lecture before the journal
istic class at Cornell University a
sophomore asked Eli Perkins when he
became a journalist.
Never" said Eli, "but l do hope
that after twenty years more expert
ence to become a newspaper man.
"WeH, what is the difference" asked
the sophomore.
just this, my son." said Eli. "a
callow reporter calls himself journal
fist. As George Welshons says, in his
grst tadpole stage, when his head Is
swelled, he is a journalist. If he final
~ shows great brain and industry, and
escapes the foOl-killer, he may become
a reporter. After pears of study and
toll. and when his brain is stuffed with
wisdom, wit, and discretion enough TO
kill his own editorials and make up a
sixteen-page Sunday edition, then l say
he's a newspaper man"
Then this is as high in the profession
as he can get?'
Eyes, he is now at the pinnacle. BY
and by, when he gets lazy and stiff and
old and stupid they reduce him to the
position of editor"
"An editor is a decayed newspaper
man with bunions on his brain, chill
blainS on his heart, corns on his ears,
and warts and dyspepsia on his liver.
The business of the editor is to sleep up
town all day and at night he prowlS
around a newspaper office, and at mid
night he takes blue pencil and asSaS-
sinates every bright and readable idea
that the smart reporters have brought
in during the day."
The editor is all epithet while the
reporter is all proof The editor calls a
man a chicken thief and gets sued for
libel, while the reporter, kodak in hand,
interviews him while picking off the
feathers in his back yard, and the next
dav the thief takes a whole advertise
ment to shut up the newspaper. "
$50" continued Eli, 81 hope am
newspaper man, and dread the time
when shall get old and stupid and
have to kill my own bright things which
made the people glad, sold newspapers,
and made Americans know me"

ARE YOU IN 1T ?

You criticise your neighbours wife,
You criticise her daughter,
You help TO swell the scandals rife,
You wade in foreign water.
So stop and think before you speak;
Just cogitate minute;
1t makes all the difference In the world
II you're not in II.
You rail at playing cards and such,
You swear at decoration,
Society you scorn TO touch,
Wbateer may be your station.
The chances are could you get in,
You would the first begin it;
1t makes all the difference in the world
II you're not in 1t.
You find fault with the churches, too;
The members ana the preacher;
Their creeds may seem unwise to you,
You microscopic creature.
Take OFF tho'e glasses; look around
Unprejudiced n minute:
1t makes all the difference in the world
If you're not in II.
a funeral went by to-day;
You called the dead "a sinner"
wonder what the world will say
When YOU forget your dinner
When YOU ride by in such coach,
A long pine box within it.
1t makes all the difference in the world
II you're not in II.
There's not a thing upon the earth,
Or over you In heaven,
But you must weigh ITS little worth,
Insert the gossip's leaven.
wonder when you view the Throne
What flaw You'll find within 1t:
It makes all the difference in the world
If you're not in 1t.

The following good story was told
by Maj. Mckinley the other day in
Ohio:
"Why, my friends, / have an old
friend over in another county-a
good old Democrat-and they tell me
this story of him: He went into the
grocery store the other day and asked
for a dollars worth Of sugar. The
merchant opened his barrel and be-
2gan to measure it out. Scoop upon
scoop he piled in the scales, while the
odd fellow looked on in astonish-
ment.
81 only want dollars worth, he
burst out finally.
"tWell sir, replied the grocer, it is
only a dollars worth I'm giving you.
Sugar has come down. Don't you
know that this here new tariff law has
made sugar cheaper?'
1.-THE cOuntryman scratched his
head awhile, then put his sack on his
shoulder and started out. Hepaused
on the threshold and then returned.
"'Take some of that darned stuff
OUT he said. 4 don't want to take
so much along. If | should take all
that sugar home and tell my wife
that I'd bought it for just one dollar
she'd make me vote the Republican
tlcket!'"

Crane Culture in New ,Jersey.

Is becoming a leading industry OF
this state, and together with wine
making requires large cellars and years
of practice. A. Speer, of New Jersey,
one Of the largest producers in the
East, commenced forty years ago in a
small way to make wine from currants,
black berries and other fruits He soon
turned his attention to grape raising
and planted large vineyards Of the Por-
tugal grape, from which his famous
Port Grape Wine and INTERVIEWED
Grape Juice are made, which chemists
and physicians say are unexcelled for
beneficial effects on weakly and aged
persons.

Which VIII tt Be, the Tin Tax or the
SUGa?' Tax.


The Democratic party indorsing the
Ohio platform, with it's free silver
plank and it's '"Tariff for revenue on
ly" plank proposes to repeal the Nc
Kinley Tariff at the earliest possible
moment. One of the ''strong points"
OF the Free Traders against the Nc
Kinley Tariff is its additional "tax''
upon tin plate, and the consequent
additional cost of the workingman's
dear old dinner pail. 1t is admitted
by those who have investigated this
subject that the additional cost of
dinner pals of capacity OF three
quarts, under the present tariff, will
be five cents per dozen, or tive-twefths
Of a cent each. One dinner pail per
annum may be allowed the average
non-destructive workingman-so that
the increased tax levied upon him an
nually by reason of the additional
duty on tin plate may be set down as
fve-twelfths of one cent. This may
be considered very oppressive by our
Free Trade friends, and no doubt
would be if there were not some off
sets upon the other side of the ledger
which may serve at least partially to
make good this severe loss.
Suppose we look at sugar, for ex
ample, and seeif anything is gained to
the workingman by the Mckinley
Tariff under this head. It may be
safely estimated that the average
workingman's family will use dol
lars worth of granulated sugar per
month the year round. At present
prices-say twenty pounds for 81
this means a consumption during the
year Of $40 pounds Of sugar. The
average revenue tariff tax oftwo cents
Il pound having been taken off this
sugar by the Mckinley bill, the work
ingman saves upon his 24Opounds of
sugar just 81 80 in the course of the
year. Put this against the amount
lost on his dear old dinner pail by
reason OF the increased tariff on tin
(five-twelfths Of one cent?, and you
have left, as the net gain in favor Of
the Mckinley Tariff, just four dollars,
sevenUy-nine cents and seven-twelfths
of cent.
And vet the Free Traders are not
happy. They are necessarily bowling,
bowling, bowling, over the rank and
outrageous injustice done to the
mechanic and artisan by the imposi-
ton of the tax of five-twelfths of a
cent per annum on his dinner pail
But you never hear them even so
much as whisper that at the same
time he saves $4.79 TIP cents on his
sugar. Oh, no! the saving on the
sugar is altogether insignificant in the
eyes of the Free-Trader. 1t is the
enormous tax on the workingman's
| dinner pail that causes such a gnaw-
ing at it's vitals, and leads to such a
shrieking for redress, redress, redress!
"Restore the tax on sugar." yells
the Bourbon Democrat. "Restore the
tax on sugar." bellows the Tariff ere
former" Restore the tax on sugar"
growls the disgruntled Mugwump.
But they all shout with one acclaim :
"Give me back, oh! give me back my
dear, sweet old dinner pail, free from
the dreadful Republican tax of five
twelfths of a cent! Then shall | die
easy and my soul shall r. i. p."-We

4 DELEGATE named Dewitt, in the
Democratic State convention of New
York, in speaking of Roswell P. Flower
said: Il can't understand why men
always want to become the thing
they cannot. Why politicians always
seek for Office for which they are not
fitted. You can put a jackass in a
lions skin, but that fact does not
make the beast lion. His ears stick
out and betray him. This hit the
case about right. Flower is a mere
wealthy ignoramus.

THE silver plank Of the New York
Democratic platform is altogether
different from that of the Ohio DEM
-ocratic party. The New York plat
form, of course. denounces Senator
Sherman's silver policy, but it de-
clares against ''free and unlimited"
coinage, demands a gold standard Of
value, and insists upon a dollars
worth of silver in every coin stamped
as dollar and exchanged for dol
lars worth Of wheat, dry goods, or
liquid refreshment. The speed with
which the various tribes and sects of
the Democratic party are getting to-
gether is remarkable Chicago Inter
Ocean.
