What He Ordered.

At dinner in st. Joseph, No., about
two years ago, with my friend Hile Jo-
burn, who is considerable Of a wag, in
reply to the "Wbat will you take to
drink, gemmen?" Of the son of Ham that
served us, ordered glass of iced tea,
while Hile, who wanted beside the fluid
little merriment to aid digestion, said:
you may bring mo glass of lacteal
fluid, George"
The ebonized dispenser of grub, with
confident "All right, boss" left for
the kitchen, where, the supposition is,
he expected to find some ono who could
translate Hiles order to his vernacular,
but apparently he was disappointed, for
after q minutes absence he returned
with but one glass = that contained
trapped tea-and placing that before
me, be turned to Hile with:
"What was dat you wanted, boss?"
My companion answered, "a glass Of
milk, you emphasized fool"
Again the waiter left, and coming
back in short time with triumphant
gleam on his face and glass of milk in
his hand he joyously said, "Dar's your
OK tail fluid, boss."-New York Re-

1elfU,
We stand today in the presence of the
fact that the majority Of the Democratic
masses throughout the country rank and
file, the millions of its voters, demand
the nominate on of Grover Cleveland.
The question has been asked why 1t is
that the masses of the party demand the
nomination of Grover Cleveland Why is
it that this man, who has no Offices to dis
tribue, no wealth to command, should
have secured the spontaneous support of
the great body of the Democracy? Why is
1t that with all that has been urged against
him the people cry, "Give us Cleveland"2
Why Is it that, although he has pro-
nounced in clear, able and earnest lam
guage his views upon questions upon
which some of his party may differ with
him, that he Is still near and dear to the
masses? 1t is because he has crystalized
into living issue the great principle upon
which this battle is to be fought out at the
coming election. If he did not create tariff
reform, he made it a presidential issue; he
vitalized it and presented it to our party
as the issue for which we could fight and
continue TO battle until upon it victory is
now assured
There is another reason why the people
demand his domination. They feel that the
tariff reform views of President Cleveland
anu tHe principles lalu down In his great
message, whatever its temporary effect
may have been, gave us a living and vital
issue to fight, which has made the great
victories since 1888 possible. 1t consoli-
nated in one solid phalanx the Democracy
bf the nation.
The people believe that these victories,
which gave us a Democratic house of rep
resentatives in 1890 and Democratic COVER
nors and senators in Republican and
doubtful states are due to the courage and
wisdom of Grover Cleveland.
And so believing, they recognize him as
their great leader.
In presenting this name to the conyen-
ton it is no reflection upon any of the
masterful leaders of the party. The VIC
tories which have been obtained are not
alone The heritage of those states, they be-
long to the whole party. | feel that every
Democratic state and that every individual
Democrat has reason to rejoice and be
proud and applaud these splendid sue
cesscs. The candidacy of Grover Cleve-
land is not reflection upon Others; It is
not antagonistic to my great Democratic
leader, He comes before this convention
in this, the peoples year, their nominee,
the nominee of the people, the plain, blunt,
honest citizen, the idol of the Democratic
masses-Groyer Cleveland

Tho MGnId SnaIscn

A Mexican superstition, very common
among miners in that country, relates
to the "gold snake" This species of
serpent is perfectly harmless and very
handsome, being green in color and
with q golden iridescence in its scales
Faith is entertained that wherever q
gold snake makes its nest there is a
ledge containing the precious metal, and
there are many miners who will locate
q claim Mt once if they find gold snake.
