FUN FOR NEWSPAPERS.
One or Two Incidents in Which Green
Journalists Have Figured.

More funny things are seen by
newspaper man than offer themselves
to the observation of twenty average
individuals in other walks of life"
said veteran in the craft to a Wash
ington Star reporter.
Fresh arrivals in the journalistic field
at the capital do much to contribute
to the merriment of their older fellows.
A while ago came a person who may
as we'll be called Snooks, whose ap-
pointed task it was to keep New
York evening paper apprised OF the
legislative doings of the Nation. Two
iokers of his own profession here con-
ceiyed little off-hand jest to play up
on him, not really imagining that ne
would take it seriously. Meeting MIN
one day-it was a month before the
close of the last Congress-they SAID:
s'Snooks, dear boy, we've got a big
piece of news. 1t was our intention to
keep it exclusively for our own papers,
but we'll give it to you on condition
that you do not communicate it to any
one.'
'Of course Snooks pricked up his
ears, gave the promise required, and
expressed his anxiety for the facts.
's.The fact is, said one of his in
| formants, that a caucus was held last
night by both parties in the House and
Senate. the result of which was an
agreement by the entire National
Legislature that Congress should be
adjourned on March 81
"You don't tell me SOP gasped
Snooks.
."Pon honor replied the other
man. But the thing is exclusive, and
we count upon it thatyou will not sell
it to any paper besides your own.'
ION no account. asserted Snooks,
who presently started off for the West.
ern Union telegraph office. He sent
the dispatch in sober earnest, but the
really funny part of it was that the
new editor in the home Office took the
matter in good faith and printed il
with display headlines.

The newest reporter was a rather

This IS the TRUTH, wen Stated.

Mckinley was chosen as the repub-
lican candidate for governor because
he was the author of the tariff taxing
bill, and in his candidacy was mbodied
the principal of high tariff taxation. It
was announced by the republican Or
gans and speakers that the tariff would
be the issue and upon that measure the
party would stand or fall. But they
have had an awakening upon that ques-
tion that they did not dream of, because
the people have caught on to the work
ings of that high-handed robbing meas
ure, and now they want to drop it and
have taken to the defense of the scoun-
drelly demonstration of silver, but
they will discover that they have jump
ed from the frying pan into the fire.
The people regard the silver legislation
of the republicans in the same light as
the tariff rascality. ty."-Seneca Adver-

When Mckinley brags of reciprocity
on the stump he recants his statement
in congress that reciprocity was free
trade by another name, and should not
be voted for by friends of protection.
When he brags about free sugar, he goes
back ON his efforts in congress to pre-
vent the repeal of the sugar tariff, he
claiming that to do so destroyed the
very foundation of a protective tariff.
When Mckinley denounces the free
coinage of silver as fraud, he declares
himself dishonest man, for he voted
for free coinage of silver in congress. =

A man who talked rabidly for free
coinage in 1877, who talked for free
coinage in the fall of 1890, who talked
for free coinage in the spring of 1891,
but who now goes back on his previous
record and denounces free coinage in
order to make friends with the mann
mon of Wall street $50 that their con-
tributions to his campaign fund may be

agogue-he approaches very near the

This great show ia booked for Helena
on Friday, July "a and, regarded ass whole,
it is doubtless without parallel. Wherein
it differs from others is this: in it's rare
variety, its endless interest, its boundless
capacity to please every taste. Good things
with 1t are not doled out with a grudging
hand; they are poured forth in a Niagara
like profusion, typical of the great country
of greatest enterprises. Here we have q
regal Roman hippodrome. a f~ive-continent
m%enagerie, three big circuses, a wild Moor
ish caravan, performing droyes of wild and
domestic beasts, a huge tropical aquarium,
aviary, royal Japanese troupe. Arabian
Nights entertainment, spectacular Pll-
QrimaRe to Mecca. and splendid free
street parade, rolled into one tremendous
alliance, for but one price of admission; or.
more properly speaking, roaring, rushing,
racing, marching, dancing, gliding, tumb-
ling. soaring, diving and disporting under
some ten acres of tents. Whew! the very
thought of it fairly makes one catch his
breath. And not only is it all a very great,
but it Ia a very good, clean, admirably
managed show. under the immediate eye
of its proprietors. and free from any and
every annoyance or Objectionable associa-

an exhibition, he would not have wondered
why 1t always took three grown-up persons
to take one child to a circus, but would
have increased the number of adults to at
least a score.
