One OF the best stories illustrative Of
the intrest taken by the masses in the
tariff question is told by Congressman
Cultivate, OF Ohio. During the cam

small towns in lis district was called
hence, and at the funeral a new minis
ter who had been but a few weeks in
the neighborhood omciated. Not hav-
ing had the pleasure Of the deceased's
intimate acquaintance lie said in his
discourse thar he could not praise his
virtues and good deeds with that de
gree Of particularly and understand
ing which lie thought appropriate, and
after making some general remarks in
vitci the deceased mans ueighbors to
step forward and say something Of his
character and his services to society
and his fauily But no one arose.
There was a long pause and then the
minister repeated his invitation. Still
no response. Finally an old farmer
sitting in the rear Of the room rose
somewhat tinidiy, and said, 1t pears
that 10 one has anything TO say for the
corpse, an therefore, if it be all the
same to you, I VIII make a few re
marks on the tariff! ~ Chicago Herald.

San Angelo seems to be in
considerable muss. The city in
debtedness is about $4,000 and
when the city corporation was
abolished it seriously effected the
outstanding bonds. The system
of waterworks declares that it will
close down unless the city immedi-
ately incorporates. And if the
water works close the insurance
companies Will about double their
rates of insurance. We hope San
Angelo will steer throug all o. K.

The Courier Journal was a sup
porter of Mills and respector of
Crisp, but refuses to believe that
the defeat of Mills means a down
fall of the tariff as political issue.
That is right. The Tariff is and
will so remain the issue in the
next campaign. This defeat of
Mills simply means that Crisp had
more supporters or better wire
workers than Mills.
