Dreading, yet longing TO die.
Hear the glad chorus that rises,
Filling the dome of the sky:

Filling the dome of the sky

No longer be miserable, gloomy and sad;
Lost health regain" rings out the refrain,
Poor creatures, be healthy and happy again" ."

THERE has been discovered in Pompeii
a small domestic chapel of graceful arch
itectural proportions, and adorned with
still vivid and unspoiled frescoes. AT
the end of the chamber there was a
well-preserved painting of Hercules with
his cup and lions skin; on one of the
sides was boar, and on the other was
a sacrificial altar.

ssFat Doctor Bills Make Lean Wills"

't at DOcCOr Bills MAKE Lean Wills,
but DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy costs less
than one doctors visit. Catarrh is
loathsome, dangerous disease, and the
time has come when to suffer from it is
a disgrace. No person of culture and
refinement cares to inflict npon his
friends his offensive breath, disgusting
hawking and splitting and disagreeable
efforts to breathe freely and clear the
throat and nose-hence the cultured and
refined use DR.. Sage's Catarrh R medy.
And no wise and prudent man cares to
run the risk of leaving his family with
out a protector, by letting his ''slight
catarrh" run into serious or fatal throat
and lung troubles, hence the wise and
prudent use DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
The proprietors of this remedy are so
confident of its curative properties, that
they have made standing offer of
reward of $500 for case they can not
cure.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES.
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
oUTDoING THE FOREIGNER.


During the great Dutch war, in the
reign of Charles IL, the English fleet
and that OF Holland, fought in the Chan
mel for three days successfully, engag-
ing in the day time and lying to at
night.
AS they were preparing to renew the
action on the fourth morning.w word came
that an armistiee had been concluded.
Hostilities were laid aside, and the bel
ligerent parties began to exchange mu-
tual civilities.
On board a Dutch man-of war, which
lay alongside an English vessel, sailor
showed wonderful agility by running up
to the mast head and standing upon the
truck. He then went through several
maneuvres, and concluded by standing
on his head, to the astonishpent and
alarm of the spectators.
On his descending to the deck after
this exploit, his comrades expressed
their appreciation by series of huzzas,
which had sound of triumphing over
the English.
One of the British tars, piqued for the
honor of his country, therefore ran up to
the top of the vessels mast like a cat,
and essayed, with all his might. to throw
up his heels as the Dutchman had done;
but, lacking the skill of his rival, he lost
his balance, and came tumbling down
much faster than he had gone up.
The lookers-on held their breath in
horror, expecting to see him dashed to
pieces on the deck; but luckily the rig
ging broke his fall, and he alighted on
his feet unhurt.
He shook himself, threw up his head,
and, in somewhat staggering fashion,
rushed to the vessels side and cried ex-
ultingly to the Dutchman:
There, do that if you CAM

HE VOTED THE BOURBON TICKET.
Washington Post.
In room of the hotel were Speaker
Crisp, some other Congressman and some
newspaper men. Story telling was
in order. Some good ones were told,
when Major Chaffee remarked:
Gentlemen. I'll bet none of you ever
saw monkey vote at IA regular State
and national election. No? Well, l
thoughtso have"
There was general demand for the
story.
"It was in 1876" began Major Chat
fee. "You all recollect how hot that
campaign was in South Carolina. 1t
was the year of the red shirt. The State
was filled with companies wearing that
simple but signicant uniform. Nowhere
was the campaign hotter than i'll our
district. Nearly every white man you'd
meet wore red shirt. When the cleo
tion came the red shirts were out in
force. One of our company was the
owner of big monkey. He put red
shirt on him, mounted him on a horse
and brought him along for amusement.
Along about noon, when things appear
ed to be going our way and the boys
were in good humor, the suggestion
was made to vote the monkey. 1t met
with instant and uproarious approba
ton. We rode up in body to the
polls of the nearest precinct ano our
spokesman informed the judges of cleo
tion that there was gentleman who
wanted to vote. What is his manner
asked one of the judges. John Jocko,
replied our spokesman. John Jocko.'
repeated the judge to the clerks, as he
took the ballot from the monkey and
dropped it in the box. We went round
to six more polling places, at each of
which John Jocko' was duly voted"

The TRIBUNE has no apology to offer for

The position Of this paper has always been
that no good citizen will support any man
for any Office whom he knows to be un-

difference whether his unhtness comes
from want of ability or from the absence of
honesty and integrity. The citizen in
depOsiting his ballot has sacred duty to
perform to his country as well as to his
state and the nation and he ought to dis
charge that duty consciencjously in ac-
cordance with his best judgment. Always

of the nominee of that party in whose

An unsettled condition of affairs pre-
walls in Honolulu that may well excite the
apprehension of American naval officers
By virtue of its peculiar geographical
position the capital and metropolis of the
Sandwich Islands is virtually the keynote
to the commerce of the Pacific. 1t is a
neutral power now, but there Is no telling
how long it will remain Independent of the
domination of more powerful nation. Re-
peated efforts on the part of the United
States to gain an indirect but no less
positive control of affairs in Honolulu
have been defeated by the jealous vigilanc
of Great Britain. Americans have becom
so prominent in the government of the
islands, in society and in commercial and
business affairs that the American spirit
of progress and rule is largely in the as
tendency. Hawaii has been developed
almost altogether by Americans. Vast
interest are involved in the future stability
of the Hawaiian government. In case OF
war between the United States and a
European power the possession and forti-
fieation of Honolulu would be of supreme
Importance. Whichever nation controlled
Hawaii would be master of the Pacific
Even in time of peace an unfriendly at.
titude toward the United States govern
ment would tend to destroy the grow.
ing commerce between the cities of Puget
Sound and foreign consumers. The Un.

WHAT intelligent man can find fault with
the position of President Harrison on the
silver question, asks the Toledo Blade. He
stated it luminously in his letter of accept
ance, in the following words:
Il am thoroughly convinced that the free
coinage of silver, at such ratio to gold as
will maintain their equality in their com
mercial uses of the two coined dollars,
would cOnduce to the prosperity of all the
great producing and commercial nations
Of the world. The one essential condition
is that these dollars shall have and retain
an equal acceptability and value in all COM
mercial transactions"
He is not gold monometalist like Cleve-
land, nor a silver mOnometalist like Wea-
yer, but bimetaHst. He believes in the
use of both silver and gold as full money
metals, but knows that the only praotica-
BILE way of securing this is by changing our
old and untrue coinage ratio between the
two metals to figure that will express the
actual relation between their commercial
values.
