A FIZZLE.

The anti-subtreasury convention held
at st. Louis on Tuesday, Sept. Is, at
which an attempt was made to have all
states represented, vas q dismal failure.
The Republic, which has fathered this
democratic effort to split the alliance,
reports 200 delegates present, but the
vote on important resolutions show
just seventy-six. AS by resolution this
body Of men (mostly from the city OF
st. Louis) declared against not only the
sub-treasury and land loan plan, but
also government ownership OF railroads
and telegraph lines, in fact the whole alli-
ance platform, they should have gone
one step farther and declared for the old
democratic party to which they have
always belonged. The game is too thin
and alliance men of Missouri are con-
graduating themselves that they threw
Hall overheard at their late state con-
vention.

LAND AND LOAN PLAN.
The new book OF lecturer Scott on the
subject OF che Sub-Treasury Plan as in
dorsed in the platform Of the Peoples
Party, at Cincinnati, is a complete and
wonderfully clear and comprehensive
statement and argument. 1t is certain
TO become THE standard work on that
s!l hIeet. -qgur=
Tor can anoru TO discuss this question
without first giving this book a careful
nernsal. Brother Scott is the best quail
flied man in the state to present this
subject. He has studied it in all it's
phases, and he writes honestly, calmly,
graphically and c%onvincingly.
1t is a book for the philosopher. It is
d hook that every one should read. No
one can afford not to read it. II
The fact that as It's pages went to
press they passed under the eagle eye of
JIG Hubbard, adds immensely to it's
value and will place its utter reliability,
as to facts and figures, absolutely be-

able book Of the decade.

A king and His sou,rtgun.

The decision of the queen regent
of Spain to supplant the governess of
little King Alfonso with an able
bodied tutor has a short and curious
history.
Last winter one of the kings rela-
tives took to him from Vienna a toy
squirtgun which he was expected to
use In watering his garden. The
squirtgun became at once the kings
pet toy, and he did not hesitate to find
all sorts of uses for it which were not
conducive to the comfort of his little
playmates or to the dignity of the wo-
men OF the court. A few weeks ago
at a grand garden party Alfonso half
hid himself behind a shrub aud shout
ed at a big general in light blue and
gold uniform. The general approached
the shrub, and Alfonso held up a
handful of flowers to induce him to
come a When close to the
shrub the point Of the kings Viennese
sQuirtgun suddenly appeared in tho
leaves, and In a second the fine light
blue and gold uniform was spotted and
dripping. The general backed quickly
out Of range, and before Alfonso could
reload and follow up his victory. was
safe from further hostilities and under
the protecting eye Of the queen regent.
Alfonso then tried to lure into am.
bush Mgr. Raffaelle Merry del Val, son
OF the Spanish ambassador at Vienna,
but the young prelate had seen the
generals plight and was vary enough
TO keep several persons between him
and his sovereign all the rest of the
afternoon.
On the following day it was decided
ct the royal palace that a masculine
hand was needed to lie heavy on Al
fonso. and the cautious Mgr. Merry
dol Val was selected to train his mai.

WASHINGTON T T

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, September 10, 1891
Mr.. Harrison has been able to devote
very little time to private conferences
since his return to the White House, us
his time has been fully taken up with
public callers OF prominence, many of
whom have taken advantage of five
minute chats, with a score of men in the
room. to say a good word for q friend
who is an applicant for some one OF the
numerous desirable places now at Mr..
Harrison's disposal. 1t is said that he
animated to a gentleman that he would
not begin the consideration OF the new
U. s. judicial appointments until about
the time Congress meets, owing to the
nor pressing nature OF other business.
The court OF claims meets for the fall
session this day week, and it would be
very desirable to have the upon
its bench filled before that time. It is a
position that is some what sought after,
as the duties are not arduous the salary
is $4,000 per year and the tenure for
life. All the sessions of the court are held
in q comlnodious room on the grand floor
Of the department OF Justice. Some time
ago when Mr.. Harrison held that much
talked OF conference with Senator Quay
he partially promised the position, not
hen vacant, to a protege ofthe Senator,
but it is now stated that owing to Mr..
Quay having since then openly pronoun-
ced against Mr.. Harrison's nomination
that his friend will not get the appoint
ment.
The two vacancies upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission are said to be
causing the commission considerable en-
barrassment and inconvenience, and a
hint has been given to Mr.. Harrison
that early appointments will greatly
please the other commissioners. It is re-
.gsrded as almost certain that the demo
GRAFT to be appointed will be from the
South, andex-Representatjye Clements
OF Georgia, is believed TO stand the best
chance OF being the fortunate man. The
republican will, it is thought, BIO taken
from the West, but there are many APP
plicants from other sections. Ex-Sen-
ator Spooner's name had been mentioned
forthe appointment, buta close personal
friend Of his. Id Washington this week,
is authorit i for the statement that Mr.
spooner will accepting Federal office as
he expects to be the republican candi-
date for Governor Of Wisconsin next
year.
Mr., Harrison also has two vacancies
to FIJI in his cabinet, as the Attorney
General was forcd to confess to an
Indiana republican who asks his assis-
tance il getting q seatupon the bench Of
the new Circuit Court thatEs hadhim-
accepted the tender ola seat thereon

The politicians, backed by Wall street,
have captured both old parties in New
York state. The republicans under the
dictates Of ''Me too Platt" threw over
board the scholar and statesman presl-
dent, White, of Cornill University and
nominated Custom House Official Fas-
sett. The democrats have gone into the

Composed Of . Cotton Night Cap Filled
With Double Barreled Shores.
Arago, the great French scientist,
was never see with a decoration on
his breast. He valued honors slightly.
One evening Leverrier, the a%strono-
mer, called on him on his way to dine
with a minister. He expressed a wish
to appear decorated with an order to
which he was entitled, having re-
ceived the official notice of the honor,
although he had not as yet the decora-
ton itself.
"Open that drawer" said Arago,
and take whatever you want"
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and emperors
confer.
While Arago wished above YER
thing to promulgate science and to
make his researches useful he did not
attempt to identify himself forever
with his discoveries by writing books.
He had no time for writing, but con-
tented himself with noting the results
of his work in the record of the bureau
of longitude or announcing it verbally
to the academy.
But this distinguished man dreaded
nothing more than seeming ridiculous.
He was careful of his dignity sven
with his most intimate friends.
Eugene de Mirecourt gives an anus
ing account of Arago's modification
at having to share q room with his
friend, M. Quetelet, director at the
Brussels observatory, says e Youths
Companion.
They were at Louvain. When it
appeared that the best accommodation

much disturbed. When they went to
the room he paced the floor Impatient
ly, while the Belgian astronomer
watched him in astonishment and dar-
ed not prepare for bed.
Finally Arago seemed to form a
desperate resolution. He exclaimed;
II ought to tell you. my dear friend,
that it is impossible for me to sleep
unless l have on my head"
'.What?"
"a cotton nightcap!"
Faith, that is my own habit" re-
Piled M. Quetelet. MANY persons
cover their heads SO when they go to
bed"
do you think so?" said Arago,
with a sigh of relief. '.But that is
not all. When I Sleep"
.'Well?'
II snore!'
.
"Ah, SO do I. I make as much
hoise as a pipe organ" returned the
Belgian.
:'Oh. well, then, that is different"
said Arago, much consoled. LET US
go to bed"

When the Wall street bankers were IN

When the Wall street bankers were IN
close circumstances on account Of loans
on realestate in the west, the govern
ment opened the vaults OF the United
States treasury and supplied them.
When expositions are talked OF, Jul
legislators vote large appropriations to
them. When railroads are to be built,
our legislators loan them the credit OF
the nation, besides giving them large
tracts Of land; but when the people, who
are in distress on account Of the failure
in crops or lower prices for their pro-
ducts, ask for q loan, then a howl is
raised that it Is unconstitutional.

You pen.t Tire of Them.

There are people of whom one never
tires, no matter how often one sees them
nor how intimate the associations may
be. There is about them that air of per-
petual charm and variety that makes
them delightful companions. They are
sure to be good tempered. There is never
any fear of finding them in pet, nor a
prey to some i'll humor wholly unreason-
able and unexplainable.
They are pleased when you are pleased
and interested in what you have to say.
They are 80 sympathetic that your ills
and troubles become their own, and your
friends become 80 dear to them that not
for the world would they do anything to
rob you of them. Sometimes with these
bright, sweet natures you find the added
charm of originality, and when you come
across such one treasure it aud preserve
it as one of the pearls of your life, for
seldom indeed are talent, originality and
good nature found combined in one NOR
tai frame. A nature that is SO richly
endowed is threefold talented. 1t has
the talent of magnetism, the talent of
keeping good natured and the priceless
talent of originality, which, as Rudyard
Kipling says, is not the discovery of any
thing new, but is rather new way of
looking at old things. And that makes
it all the more delightful.-NewY York
World.
