relation of protection to smoke is so init
mate as to approach identity.
Johnny Bull may be tbespigheaded fellow
he is said to be, but he is no fool. He recog
nizes q good thing when it is his. He has
waxed fat on the sugar which France and
Germany have taxed their people to cheaper
for him. and whose example this intelligent
country is following, and just now he is
granting contentedly over the several mill
ions which McKinleyism has made our folks
pay his Welshmen for their tin plate.
Wanamaker ''puts his foot in it, every
time he "opens his mouth" He now admits

recent Louisiana cyclone was the topic, that
his regiment was in camp at Mobile, Ala,
in 1864. near the penitentiary," and he won
dered what would have happened if the cy-
clone had come along then. Well, if the
governors regiment was in camp at Mobile
the cyclone would have missed his excellency
by about 200 miles. which would have been a

The New Orleans Times Democrat, re-
tanned to defend the-lottery, can find no bet
ter reply to DR.. Palmer's arraignment of the

preached the divinity of slavery. 1t calls
jefferson to the defense of lotteries by refer
