The first genuine spring days always
take people painfully unaware. There
is apt to be in our climate such an alb
rupt change from cold and frost tC
warmth and sunshine that even when
springs comingis is billed on the calen-
dar the inhabitants of our zone are
loath to take hold of the fact. One day
will find us wearing furs and overcoats
and the next brings warm wave that
makes US painfully aware of the fact
that our attire is not seasonable, and
we grumble greatly, forgetful of the
fact that we have been praying for a
change for days prior to its advent.
Perhaps our most serious objection is
caused by the bold, bare faced way in
which the spring sunshine holds up
our shabbiness to view. The first
bright days bring to light the fact that
there is immediate need for thorough
cleaning aud renovation of the house
hold, while wardrobes also demand a
speedy replenishing. And so while the
season causes heavy holes in everybodys
pocketbook the sunny days make
merry the hearts of the merchant and
milliners for everybody has an insatia-
BILE craving for something fresh and new
to be in tonch with the brightness and
brilliancy of the vernal season.

Farmer Smith was delivering bale oi
hay at the treasury building, and while
waiting to have the government stamp
affixed, his horses took fright at the
limited express on the Washington &
San Francisco Airship Line. They dash
ed down the avenue, and, turning the
corner at the uptown station of the
Washington & Chicago Pneumatic Tube
Rapid Transit Company brought up
with dull thud against the celluloid
window of the Potomac Artificial Egg
Company. In the crash and general
confusion Farmer Smiths head and two
of his limbs were severed from his
body, but he was promptly removed to
the Edison Hospital, and after the
electrical bone-welding operation was
performed he was able to drive home
and keep his appointment with the
man who holds the mortgage on his

What q Record!

When President Cleveland and a
Democratic Congress went out of office
on March 4th, 1889, they left surplus
of $175, 100000 in Uncle SANS treasury
Two years have elapsed in which the
Republicans have had entire control of
the government. During this brief
period of power they have squandered
not only the immense surplus left by a
Democratic administration but have
created deficit that in a few months
will reach the appalling sum of $84,-
100000. This condition of affairs must
be met by increased taxes, hence the
Nc Kinley infamy was forced on the
people. Indeed it is now reliably esti-
mated that the Congress iu4t adjourned
known as "Reed's Aggregation" spent
over one billion dollars. Every cent
of this vast and incalculable sum was
raised by taxation levied in some form
upon the people. Is it any wonder the
country is experiencing critical times,
that money is scarce and labor cries
aloud for employment? True, the
voters passed judgment last November
with million majority against such
greed and extravaganza, but it came
too late. That party should never have
been entrusted with power.

The Corsicans are not the only people
in the world who believe in the evil eye,
for the Turk is so affected by it that he
thinks it extends its influences to what
ever animals belong to him. Strings Of
coral are sold on the streets and said to
be a preventive against the evil. 1t is
very curious to see the donkeys, crowds
of which are found in the streets, with
strings of coral twisted in their tails.
When he gets in violent rage the
very worst thing that a Turkish gentle
man can threaten his donkey with is the
taking away of the jewels which protect
him from the evil eye, for in this way he
will give him over to all kinds of cruelty
and the possession of the demon. In
the markets bits of coral are laid among
the purple grapes or green vegetables
with the hope that good luck will come
to them and they will bring a higher
price.-New York Sun.

Republican Tany.

The Republican newspapers through
out Ohio have been for weeks cackling
over the two cents reduction In the
price Of sugar through the to them,
sainted Mckinley bill. In fact, the
smaller fry organs of the grand old
partyu at the different comfy seats have
gone into Mysteries Of joy over what
they conceive will be their salvation
from defeat-before the people by this
sweetened game of two pennies. The
eomical conclusions over the "free
sugar" event have been noted by dis
eerning public. In their desire To claim
credit for the Mckinley tariff. they
have, says the indianapolis News "been
pounding themselves over the head
with their eager demonstrations ot
what a great tax has been lifted from
the people by this law giving them free
sugar, losing sight, apparently, of the
fact that this proves the very thing thai
they have been chiefly engaged in deny
ing to-wit: "The tariff is taxn
1t has been a most complete give
away. No arguments nearer or strong
er are needed than those furnished in
this discussion that the tariff is paid by
the consumer in the county that levie!
it. The tariff reformer would have tC
go no futher than exclusive projections
ist sources to get all the ammunition he
needs in that warefare. In the same
way, more of the same sort is being
added by protection comments on the
likelihood of Germany's admission o.
American pork, thus:
OF course, this trichna] was only an
excuse for the discrimination practiceC
against American hog products. The
embargo was in realty measure o.
protection for the German stock-raiser
but as the working people, who are the
consumers, had to be satisfied for the
higher cost of bacon, pork and lard, the
false accusation was made that Ameri-
can meats were not only unhealthy,
but positively dangerous to life.
Any statement more complete and
conclusive than that of protection and
its workings need not be asked. 1t
bears the double mark of being an un-
concious admission by the protection
lists. When they look aboard they
clearly see that protection is at the costs
of the consumers ofa county for the

with the statement they for got the
damaging confession they make fol
home application. In the "free sugar.
episode and this "forign pork" episode
pretectionists have admitted everything
that they have been denying for years
They admit still a further phase of thu
question which has been insisted upor
by tariff reformers, thus:
1t is believed that the opening of Gar
man market to American hog products
will furnish steady market to many
million dollars worth of the product o
Western farms, and will consequently
enaance the market value of pork anC
serve to maintain a steadier prict
throughout the year.
In other words, they have thrown
overheard the "home MARKET nonsense
and admit that the opening of foreign
ports TO our products would tend tc
stiffen and steady and make more pros
porous our producers-precisely the
contention of tariff reformers. Let the
barriers down-let us out into the
world-give US free raw material, and
we can hold our own against the world
