Cause and Effect.


A negro had gone to sleep in the sun on
the platform of a railway station in South
Carolina, and some of the boys put up a
job to have some fun with him. A bag of
shelled corn was laid across his knees, a
second on his stomach, and q third on his
head As the weight didn't waken him,
another bag was placed on his stomach,
making about $40 pounds resting there.
He snored away for three minutes, grew
uneasy, began to mutter, and at the end of
five threw the sacks off and sat up and
looked around in dazed way.
Anything wrong, Rube" asked one of
the jokers.

OLB ossAwATTOMIE,s BOYS.
How owen and Jason Brown Dis
posed of Their Little Fortune.

[From the Lewiston CMe) Journal
John Brown, of Harper's Ferry, whose
soul goes marching on, has two sons,
Owen and Jason, who went into the valley
where Pasadenl sits in tine sunshine of the
California paradise, and there struggles
against adversely and fought pinched cir
cumstances in long ard hard contest.
A Lewiston gentleman who il just home
from Washington, met in New York last
week an old friend, an attorney OF much
note, who recently settled the estate of one
of these sons, who had recently died at or
near Pasadena. The attorney told the
Lewiston gentleman story whose moral
| will be found touching, no matter how
| badly it may be told in this place, and
| whose theme is heroic along the better line
of heroism. This attorney found the af-
| fairs of the deceased in good order, but
his estate small. He obtained from the
surviving son Incmento of John Brown,
n letter written to one of the sons nearly
| fifty years ago, good letter, with one or
| two bits of honest, manly advice in ii.
| In progress of looking up the affairs the at
torney found out this, that the two sons
had lived along in n rather pinched way,
| paying for their little place, working hard
and that they finally had saved two hun
dred dollars for little nest egg against
| future troubles. About two years ago or
more, as every one knows, Charleston, S.
| c., fell in earthquake. There was want
| and suffering-a misery in common sec
tions paralleled only by the flood at Cone
| maugh. When those two brothers heard
of it, forgetting that South Carolina had
embodied the element that had slain a
father, and hearing only the cries of want
and distress there, they sent their entire
little fortune to Charleston, and il was
used in allaying the miseries of the men
and women who in a certain way had been
| responsible for their fathers death.
There's the story. You can think it
over, especially in the light of its unos-
| tentatious giving, and perhaps you may
see it's moral. The fact that ii has been
unnoticed SO long, and that one of the
sons has died, without seeing even a news
paper reference TO the incident, is proof
enough that it was gift of pure generosi-
ty and nothing else.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
r. Staub may be happy yet.

The Kansas legislature has one hundred
and fifteen farmers and only three lawyers,
but it won't do for the farmers to go to
sleep.
The Philadelphia postmaster has invent
ed thumb stamp to be worn by mail sort
ers by means of which the mere handling
of letter will put a postmark upon it,
each clerk sorting mail having different
number on his stamp. If the device works
as expected delayed or missent letters can
be traced to the actual blunderer.
According to st. Joseph (MissourD
prophet, we are going to have trouble this
year. He says that from May 1, 1891, to
May 1, 1892, will be an era of general des-
truction throughout the United States.
Earthquakes and volcanoes all over the
world will be very active, and the sun,
moon and stars will combine to keep this
poor little planet in constant state of
turmoil.
John McKeown, who died in the Penn
sylvania oil regions the other day, and left
several millions, lived in a little $500
cabin, and enjoyed the comforts of this
life to about the same extent as the poor
est of his fellow-creatures, except that he
was more worried about his vast posses
sions. Still, it was undoubtedly a great
satisfaction to him to be able to leave sew
eral millions.
The imperial families of Russia and
Austria count more members than other
ruling families of Europe. In Russia there
are to-day twenty-seven imperial princes
and eighteen imperial princesses, in addi-
ton to the Gar and Czarina. The twenty
seventh imperial prince was born on Jan
uary as the son of Prince Constantine,
the younger, who recently incurred the
| disfavor of His Majesty. Prince Con-
stantine is poet of merit. In 1884 he
married the Princess Elizabeth of SAKE
Atenburg.

require at least some English instructions
in their schools. The Bennett law required
this, and its repeal will consequently be
found to have been a mistake.
The most contented people in the State
of New York, an official person tells the
New York Sun, "are the public paupers.
The average length of life of paupers after
entering the poorhouse is nearly 90 years,
as is shown by official statistics; and when
you consider that most of them, at the
time of admission, are beyond their prime,
you must see that they must live under
conditions favorable to longevity. When
once safely lodged in the poorhouse they
not only lay aside their ambition, which
disturbs the peace of ordinary mortals, but
they are perfectly contented to stay there
through life" The mania of owning
things makes people very uncomfortable.

WHAT IT DOES.

In one breath the Iowa Democrats
profess great devotion TO the interests
of the laboring masses and demand free
public employment agencies, and in
almost the next breath they denounce
the greatest employment agency ever
created by law, the protective tariff
system. Remember, what the
Mckinley bill does; it raises duties on
goods of which we have been import
ing $500, 900, 600 year 50 that we can
make them in this country instead of
importing them. It is building new
mills and enlarging old mills in almost
every corner ofthe land. The measure
of the opportunity it gives to such
mills by providing them with the home
market is the success with which
it keeps out imported goods.
The increased duty on tin plate went
into effect July l.
We import $2l, 100000 of tin plate
yearly, and the new duty will enable
us to make very large part of that
here. If you want to see what sort

Our go-ahead and undaunted townsman,
James j. Franey, has SHE'D his castor into
the political ring and will make contest
for a delegateship to the Constitutional Con-
vention. There is only one thing that can
be said against "Jim"-he is a Democrat.
Intellectually and socially he is one of the
best fellows in the town, but he mas always
been an ardent supporter Of and worker in
the Democratic party and the enemy and
his friends are always able to tell just
where he stands. That is more than can
be said of a number who have succeeded in
securing fat offices in the county at the
hands of that political faction. His loyalty
to his party makes "Jim' a formidable
candidate and, if this section must be rep
resented by a Democrat in the convention,
the HERALD has no hesitancy in saying
that he is the best man the Democratic
party can decide upon. That he will at
tend the convention regularly and endeavor
to make himself heard whenever the op-
portunity presents itself cannot be ques-
toned.
