Take the matter of cotton ties for instance, on which the Mckinley bill makes an outrageous increase of tax {! The hard-working, ignorant negroes, to whom a silver dollar is as large as a cart wheel, will have their dimes taken away from them on every cot ton tie they buy-to double the mil lions of a few men who are million aires already. The negroes are in- cluded, MT. lIslstead In the lan- gusge you have doubtless learned since going East, they are in it, not only on cotton ties, but on every thing else they use. Your Eastern Plutocracy bleeds them until about all they have to show for their freedom Is your permission to vote the Republican ticket.
 The exports of the agricultural ''N"I'' tht bltai dH'l bltdt sIuil' bi the West and the cotton of the south are all that kept this country out of bankruptcy Yet the trade of the agricultural States with their Euro pean market is taxed GO cents on the dollar. Instead of getting Sl 60 in imports for $ of exports, we give a good dollars worth of exports for 62! cents worth of imports and 32I cents tax on imports. The prices of our Western and Southern surplus are taxed down by the same law which taxes up the prices of our supplies. A bushel of Western wheat or pound of Southern cotton will buy half as much again in Lon don as in Boston, but the profit we could otherwise make is taxed again at the custom house and in stead of trading in the best markets, we are compelled to trade with the Northeast on Northeastern terms. And the Northeastern Plutocracv gauges the negroes as it does the rest of us. It has no race prejudice against taking the negro's last dime. Oh, yes, MT. IIsistcad, the negroes are included.

The Negro Vote.

That was an extraordinary affair at Cotton Plant, Ark, yesterday Democratic negroes to tho number of 100 were banqu"tcd hy the city Dem ocrats, and the eloquent Col. Bob" Crockett was the orator of the day. The white Democrats passed resolu- tions welcoming the negroes to the Democratic ranks and guaranteeing them the most cordial support. It is probably the first time such an event has ever been known in the South, and may be the precursor of others. The negroes organized them selves into Democratic club and the whole town indulged in holi- day Appeal Avalanche.
 The negroes of Arkansas, and in fact of the whole South, are begin ming to get their eyes open. They are commencing to think and reason more intelligently about political questions than they have ever done before. They are beginning to re- alize that they are citizens of. the communities Tn which they live ;; that their interests and those of the people among whom they live arc identical, and that by opposing their nei.hbors and friends politically, as body, they are simply working against their own best interests, II let alone the negro problem will soon solve itself. The more intelligent ol the race know that the wealth anC intelligence Qf . State, county ol community will inevitably goverr and control it, and they are sensibly and properly arraying themselves or the side of the governing power The change is being made slowly but none the less surely, and tn, day is not far distant when the ne gro vote will he pretty we'll divided between the two great parties.- EN

Uncle Billy, biting at long straw and cycing his wife in way that made her turn her head aside. "They said l was fool-a plum fool, and reckon 1 am. In fact. fl there's bigger fool than mo any where's round, I'd give nickel just to take one solid look at him.
 Cant I-see Sampson feel a mighty goncness comin' all over me; like hit was-''
 ''I told Sampson to go home that's what l done. If he ever dares to send Tn bill-I--Fll go over thar and shoot the top of his head off with a bacon rind. If thar's bigger humbug than you air, Mallndy Bod dlc, hits that same Doc Sampson. !"
 "Mr Boddlc, I'm sartinly a-goin' to faint. Send Easter-''
 'Easter's goin to leave, too. Ef thar < any more ceokin' done about these premises, Malindy Jane Bod ale. hit'll be done by you-''
 "Now, Billy-did ever-''
 "No-nor you won't never ag'in. The folks are lcavin', nd I'm goin'
 
 to kindle a fire in the kitchen. Then, while me nd Jim moves the things back in ag'in, l shall be looking for sassage nd buckwheat cakes for supper. And l want ye to remem- Der that I don't intend bein' disap- pointed.
 With this Uncle Billy took fresh bite at the straw, drove his hat more firml v upon his head, and walked away with an undenablc shade of blood in his eye. Mrs. Boddle lay still for a few moments, then she rose and disappeared in the direction of the kitchen.
 An hour or two later, Uncle Billy and his hired man sat down to as good a meal as had ever been cooked upon the place before. Mrs Bod dle was standing over the griddlc. erect and vigorous.
 'l hope, Malinv," said the hus- band, as he finished his fifth plate ful, II hope ye don't feel any re- turn ot your symptoms t?"
 "Shct your mouth, onless yc have n't eat enough. If l am a bigger fool than you, you can take your look at me; but you've got to hold your tongue. ''
 Uncle Bllly's eyes twinkled. Evi. dently Mrs. Boddlc was cured, and without the aid of doctors, too. Nor did her former ailments return; for something in Mr. Boddle's usually amiablc eye told her that it would not do.- William Perry Brown, in Yankee Blade.

THE FRECKLED- FACED GIRL.

Mas upstairs changing her dress" said the frecklcd faced little girl. tying her dolls bonnet strings and casting her eye about for tidy large enough to serve as shawl for that double -jointcd young person. 1 "Oh, your mother needn't dress up for me. :" replied the female agent of the missionary society, taking q s"lf-satisfed view of herself in the mirror Run up and tell her to come down just as she is, in her every day clothes, and not to stand on ccr- cmony."
 "Oh, but she hasn't got on her every day clothes. Ma was all dress up in her new brown silk dress, cause she expected Miss Dimmond to day. Miss Dimnond always comes over here to show off her nice things, and ma doesn't mean to get left. When ma saw you coming she said the Dickcn>,' and guess she was mad about something. Ma said if you saw her new dress she q have 10 hear all about the poor hea- then, who don't have silk, and you'd d ask her for money to buy hymn books to send'em. Say, do the nigger ba bies use hymn book leaves to do their hair up in to make it frizzy? Ma says she guesscs that's all the good they do 'em, if they ever get any books, 1 wish my doll was a heathen.
 Why you wicked little girl, what do want of a heathen doll :" inquired the missionary lady, making mental inventory of the new things in the parlor to get material for homily on worldly extravaganza.
 ''So folks would send her lots of nice things to wear and feel sorry to have her going about naked. Then she'd have hair to frizz, and want doll with truly hair and eyes that roll up like Deacon Sliderback' when he says amen on Sunday. l ain't a wicked girl, neither, cause Uncle DIck-you know Uncle Dick, he's been ont West and swears awful and smokes all the house-he says I'm a holy terror and he hopes Ill be an angel pretty soon. Mall be down in minute so you needn't take your coat off. She said she q box my ears if l asked you to, Mas putting on that old dress she had last year, cause she said she didn't want you to think she was able to give much this time. and she needed a new huff worse than the queen of the cannon ball islands needs relig- ior. Uncle Dick says you Oughtcr go the islands, cause you'd be safer there, and the natives d be sorry they were such sinners if anybody would send you to 'em. He says he never seen heathen hungry enough to eat you, les twas blind one, an you'd set blind pagan teeth on edge SO he'd never hanker after any more missionary. Uncle Dick s awful funny and makes pa and ma tie laughing sometimes.
 That's pretty cloak you've got, ain't it: Do you buy all your good clothes with missionary money; Pa says you do."
 Just then the frecklcd-face little girls ma came into the parler and kissed the missionary lady on the cheek and said she was delighted to sec her, and they proceeded to have a real social chat. The little girls ma cant understand why person who professes to he so charitable as the missionary lady does should go right over to Mrs. Dimmond's and say such ill-natured things as she did, and she thinks the missionary is a doublp.f faced pOssiD.

The Negroes Included.

Our last years exports of bread stuns were Sl27 ,OOO, ,OOO, of provis- ions sl3S ,O0O, ,O00, and of cotton S290,000, ,00O. This shows who pays the bills of the country as a contemporary says-an assertion that is dlSplcasing to Mir. Murat Halstcad, who generally starts to asking qucs- tions when his mental repose is dls- turbed. "Well, tell Us" he asks, "if any class of persons pay the bills of this country, just who they are. Cotton, we see, shows up the largest figures. By whom is the cotton raised and picked, and balcd and prepared for it's long journey: The black farmers, perhaps.

StonewaIl.

There was but one Stonewall Jack son, and there was no need to add another word, either descriptive or eulogistic. The time will come when the whole country will be proud of the name and fame of the bold, dash ing, God-fearing Rebel who was a terror to the Union army Phila- delphia Record.
 The World most gladly gives room to the above extract from the Rec ord. It is short and sweet. It does not contain many words, but all the same it is beautiful tribute to our lamcntcd Stonewall, and coming from Northern paper it is valued and appreciated, When the mi>ts have cleared away when the preju- dice and ill-feeling engered by the late war shall have been forgotten, and in its place there exists warm feeling of kindness and brotherly love between the people of the North and South; when the day comes that the men who took a leading part IN the so-called rebellion can be judged solemnly according to their worth and merit, no name will be found that will be deemed more worthy of reverence than the plain, simple name, Stonewall Jackson. - Helena

MRS. B0DDLE'S AILMENT.

Uncle Billie BOddlc was a quiet, easy going, elderly man, who was much respected by his neighbors in a pitying, patronizing sort of way If he had any special failings, they rested largely upon the consideration that he was too unergetic to possess himself of pronounced vices, and was thought to believe that his wife was the most perfect and patient of woman
 The gossips about Swallowfork Flats said that:
 Uncle Billy was good-too all- fired good. h fact, so good that he he hadn't gumption enough to be bad When man walters con tcntedly through life believing that black is white just because his wife tells him so, his friends cant help wishing he had something in his his head more like brains than soft boiled eggs"
 And yet Uncle Blly's intentions were always of the best. If he chose to make himself the slave of Mrs. BoddIe and her ailments, it might be said to be family rather than public affair. But his neigh bors naturally hated to see man SO augclically befoolcd. To any friend Iy remonstrance Uncle Billy would only shake his head.
 "You don't know Malindy's con stitutiOn like me and her does. Hits wonder that last attack O dropsy on the liver didn't kill her dead. Dr. sampson said II was q plumb won. der the way he pulled her through. "
 Probably the doctor had his pri vate opinion, but as Mrs. Boddle had been for years a most profitable pa tient, it was not to his interest to make light of the many complicated disorders with which that astute wC- man declared herself afflicted from time to tune. Of course Uncle Bil- Tvs friends could only hint their opinions delicatcly. But Aunt Eas- ter, the hired cook, and a rather privileged character, was wont to he more openly skeptical.
 'Drapsy ob de libber," she said, rather scornfully one morning, as she returned from Mrs. Boddle's room with an armful of empty break fast dishes, "llits suttingly mo like drapsy ob de stummick. She s allays a drappiu' yittlcs down her throat.
 But Uncle Billy remained faithful to his domestic ideals, and month after month submitted to his wife's every whim with serenity and pa' ticnce both aggravating and admlra' bic. One time Dr. sampson would he sent for, post haste, to relieve an acute misery about the heart, At another, Mrs. Boddlc had present. mcnt that she was destined to die of nervous prostration, superinduccd by the exhaustion consequent upon sev- eral previous attacks, all equally sc we're and mysterious.
 Tpon the last occasion Mrs. Bod dlc, lying propped up with pillows, insisted that DTS. Repperpill and Slambang should he called in, to consult with br, sampson,
 For somehow" said she, fcebly, Int seems to m Tn bJaal to % this time, if something cNtronnery hain't done.
 "AlI right, MaIindy," said Uncle Billy, feelingly. Il don't keer for the trouble where your wishes are concerned. But, are you sure them  fried sausages ye ate last night did- mt disagree with yer"

Through Rev. Ray, who came down
from Washburn Tuesday, the TRIBUNE
learns of the burning of Col. VIM. Lows
ranch in Sheridan county. Last Thurs
day night a prairie fire was raging in
the north which proves to have wrought
the destruction of much property. Late
at night, after Mr. Low and Nj. Ray had
retired, they were awakened by flames,
and on goint, out, discovered the barn in
which Mr.. Low kept his most valuable
horses to be on fire. Two very valuable
stations and ten other horses were
burned, and the barns entirely ruined.
Three hundred tons of hay were burned
and the entire ranch burned over. Mr..
Low saved his house and the balance
of his stock. There are also rumors of
other ranchmen being burned out. Dur
ing the past year several sheep men have
brought herds III Sheridan county, and
they may have suffered loss. 1t is pro.

A Crazy German Found.

Tuesday morning, a son of B. D.
Falk of Apple Creek, came to the city
and informed Sheriff Donnelly of the
finding Of a crazy map. Mr.. Donnelly
drove out four miles south east and un-
der a culvert near Apple Creek fonnd a
man in the mud. He was insane and
had taken nearly all of his clothing off.
His coat and boots were found nearly a
mile away and his vest laid on top of
the culvert. He had wrapped about him
a thin shirt. He Speaks German and is
a stranger in this section. Mr.. Donnelly
says he thinks he saw him on the streets
in this city about a week ago, and at
that time he appeared rational. When
found he was covered with mud and
from appearance had passed the night
beneath the ~culvert. He will be taken
before the insanity board and probably
sent to jamestown.

Sheriff Donnelly Stabbed.

When Sheriff Donnelly entered the
cell Of the crazy German, captured about
four miles southeast of this city Tues
day, to give him food Wednesday, he was
stabbed with a knife. When Mr.. Don
nelly brought the German to town and
placed him in Jail, he examined him, bnt
beyond a slip Of paper telling Northern
Pacific railroad employees to pass the
bearer to some town west of Mandau, in
Morton county, (partly extinguished)
there was nothing to indicate where he
came from or who he is. While in the
cell MIR. Donnelly was very careful to
keep watch of his man, but thoughtlessly
turned his back, when quick as a flash
the crazy man sprang upon him with a
knife and stabbed him in the shoulder
cutting through his clothing and a cash
about a quarter of an inch deep and five
inches long in the arm. Mr.. Donnelly
took the knife from him and got out of
the cell without further violence. DR..
Kendrick made an examination of the
man Wednesday and he was brought
