General Weaver, in his Council
Bluffs speecn, said:
Do you believe that this unrest
am"ng the people, confined az it is not
to any one political party, but is prcs-
emit in every party to-day-do you be-
lieve that these Republicans, that
these Democrats, that these People's
party then and that these Prohibition.
lists are honest? This is the point.
Are they sincere and have they real
grievance that &Rs the duty Of all po-
'litical parties to take up and consider,
and the duty Of statesmen and legis-
lators to take under deepest, careful
aud most prayerful consideration
The first step to be taken in u con-
servative step. No man who under
stands to-day the cramped condition
of our economical affairs would be
willing to hurl into circulation a large
amount of money systematically to
forestall the business OF the country,
to bankrupt men and to hurry the
thlcg into confusion. No man who
understands himself or wishing for
the welkare OF the counsry would de-
sire to do e thing of that kind. We
believe the irst consecutive step is
to reinSSate silver as the handmaiden
of gold by free aud unlimited coinage.

Mike Dornn's Socks.

The following is copy Of letter
addressed 10y Michael Dornn, q Wash
ington street car driver to the Hon,
William Mckinley:
= Hon. William Neutrality-suspicious.
Sir: 1 read your speeches in the
House OF Representatives, during the
Fifty-tirst Congress when the tariff
bill vas under discussion, in which
you asserted aud made ms believe
that the foreigners paid our taxes. I
also read your speUch as presiding
officer of the Republican National
Convention at Minneapolis, in which
you asserted again that the foreigner
paid our taxes. My mother sent me u
dozen pair of socks from Ireland u
few days 40, each PAIR being worth
about 20 cents. My cousin, who
brought them to me, had to pny %
cents p .ir tariff duty on the socks
at the New York Custom House
Will you please be kind enough to
tell me to what foreign Government
1 shall apply 10 have that B refunded
10 me? II the foreigner pays the tax,
as you say he does, am entitled to
get tny money buck, but do not
know just exactly to what foreign
government to apply, aud L hope you
will be kidd enough to inform me 10y
return mail. Yours truly,
MICHAEL DoRAE."

DR.. Jesse Lee was nm eloquent and
able divine. who founded many churches
In New England and the southern
states. He was possessed Of a rare
gift Of humor which nothing could chill.
1t was on his way from Boston to Lynn
that he had q famous trial of wit with
two lawyers. While riding along on
horseback, Niey espicd him coming in
similar manner, and, with an evident
expectation OF amusement, prepared for
the encounter. Ranging themselves
one on each side, they began the cross
examination: Don't you often make
mistallcs2" said one of the legal fra
tcrnityr "Ycs, do" "{Vcll, what do
you do thcn-lct them Eo?" "Somc-
times 90 and sometimes DON'T" was
the dry reply. IF they are important
correct them, but if, for example, I
should shy the devil was the father of
lawyers instead of liars, the difference
would be so slight that should let it
pass" An ominous silence Tined
supreme fot n moment. "IIurlph!" OK
claimed tic qucstioncr. II don't know
whether you are more llnavc or
fool" Neither" replied Lee, ~ be-
licvc lam just midway between thcrn."
The gentlemen of the bar looked ut
each other and fastened away.
Mr.. SpurGcon used to practice humor
in the pulpit, and on enc occasion
was taken to task for his merry wit
