THEORY vs.. CONDITION.
The Great Difference a Lapse OF
Twelve Hours Creates.


TuH THEORY.
At 3 p. NJ" Mrs. Cleveland. |
have noticed a woful popular ignor-
ance on the effects Of narcotics upon
children. Now; my dear, have
determined to carry out my theory
regarding the rearing OF children.
You will, therefore, abstain from
giving Ruth any sirups, paregoties
or like stuffs."
g All right, Grover, dear. /
shall throw away all the sedative
medicines, shall l ?'
Certainly, Mrs. Cleveland, GER
tainly. Throw that physic to the
dogs. will be one man who will
show enough practical interest in
human welfare to oppose, by pre-
cept and example, all stupefyiug Of
infantile brains with poisonous
drugs.
THE CONDITION.
AT 3 a. m.-" Mrs. Cleveland, I
do wish you would get up and look
for the paregoric or something else
to make this calhope go to sleep.
| am tired of this nocture."
Why, Grover, you know YOU
told me to throw away the pare.
gonc and soothing syrup. Your
theory"
Excuse me Mrs. Cleveland, but
1t is condition, not n theory, that
confronts us now. No paregoric in
the house, That's nice. l sup
pose I'll have TO JIG this out until
daylight. oh, that mino enemy
would have II baby. I'd give the
veto of tho New York delegation to
see bald-headed Dave Hill prancing
around like | am, and no paregoric

ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL.

Don't crowd and push in tho march Of life.
Or tread on each others toes,
For the world at best. In It's great unrest,
Is hard enough as Il goes.
Oh why should the strong oppress the weak,
Till the latter goes 20 the walls
On this earth Of ours, with its thorns and
flowers,
There Is room enough for all.
IL tagging brother falls behind
And drops from the toiling band,
II fear and doubt put his soul to rout,
Then lend him helping hand.
Cheer u2 his heart with the words OF hope,
Nsr season the speech with gall;
In the great highway, on the busiest day,
There Is room enough for all.
II a man with the tread OF pioneer
steps out on your path aheaf,
Don't gradge his start with an spvious heart,
For the mightiost once were led.
But grid your lolns for the coming day
Lot nothing your heart appall--
Catch up, II you oan, with the Joricard man,
There Is room enough for all.
And II, by doing your dutv we'll,
Iou should get 20 lead the van,
Brand not your name with a dSsd OF shame,
But come out an honest man.
Keep bright lookout ON every side,
Till. needing the Masters call,
Your soul shall 40. from the world below,
Where there's room enough fer all.

very broad one and so far has only

The Union will take up one idea at

THE DEACON ANSWERED.

Cup in New Hampshire, where /
lived when a boy" "says Governor
Noyes, "there was an old deacon
who was = great deal more pious
than honest. He was an old hypo-
crit, and when he had done any
particular mean thing, he oased his
conscience by going out into a field
alongside Of which was q stone wall
and kneeling beside it, prayed the
Lord to toPple it over on him, II he
had done anything offensive to Him
or offensive in His sight. Well, we
boys found it out, and one day
when we saw the deacon making for
the wall we got on the other side
and waited. He knelt down. ac.
cording TO his usual formula, clos
ing with the petition 10 have the
wall toppfe over If he had done any
thing wrong. And we toppled IT..
Jumping out from undcr tho stones
the old man cried in tones Of min.
gled disgust and alarm, Good
gracious. Lord can't you tell when
= man Is jokihg."

Chicago, Nov. 81. The reports of ey
tensive opium smuggling and the estab-
lishment Of illicit distilleries along the
Dakota and Minnesota border, together
with the continued and numerous VIC
lations of the Chinese exclusion act, have
caused the treasury department to take
more decided measures against these
illegal practices. Heretofore Chicago
has been the headquarters from which
the operations of special agents in that
region have been directed. The depart
ment has decided on change, however.
The headquarters of operations along
the northwestern border have been
shifted to st. Paul and Special Agent j.
j. Crowley, who has had much expert
ence in that class of work, has been
placed in charge of the territory cover
ing Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, and
Idaho. Crowley will assume his new
duties Dec. |.

New YORK, Nov. OR. G.. Dun e.
Co.'S weekly trade report says: Much
has happened of late to deprcss and
shake confidence and yet confidence is
not shaken and the volume of business
is still close to the greatest ever attained.
Prices are settling downward with enor-
nous productions but the fact that such
productions continue shows that low
prices are not ruinous. The alarm
about the money market has passed and
no disturbance is apprchcnded this year.
Industries are, on the whole. well en-
ployed and it is especially noteworthy
this week that there is a better one in
branches of trade which have been the
most embarrassed.
Wool sales continue Of good volume
though western tlccccs are weaker. The
most stubborn iron market ever known
gives surprise to many for in spite of the
unprecedented production the prospects
Of some accumulation OF stock does not
disturb strong makers who reckon that
II may be well for the country to lay in
and hold much largcs stocks then here
tuiOrc so that sudden and violent iluctua-
tons may not be so readily produced.
Large salcr of rails at the west are re-
ported. but markets for ores and finish
Ell products are not materially altered.
The receipts of wheat at western cen.
tcrs continue at the rate Of more than Il
million bushels daily and exports are also
large. but TIA" price has declined 2'nc
on sales ON $4,000. 900 bushels. Sp"cu-
iation in corr is yielding. the price being
: cents lower for spot cash, while pork
products are substantially unchanged.
and oats cent higher. Money markets
well supplied for legitimate needs
Int some parts report speculative money
tight. Exports Of mcrchandis" from
N"w York in three weeks of November
have been ~6!1,2Il.il9 in value. an in.
crease Of :i3 per cent, while imports for
November thus far are about u per cent
smaller than IA year ago which points to
an enormous balance to be settled by
countries in specie. One danger is
that the great quantity of wheat is now
carried abroad as well as in this country
N margins and loans and there IS a
possibility that a sharp decline might
.auSc some trouble.
