A Story About Shelley the Poet.

The poet Shelley called one afternoon
upon Mrs. Southey and was offered cup
of tea, which ne accepted. Then plate of
tea cakes was handed him, but these he
declined.
A slice of bread might have been well
come to this Spartan youth but hot tea
cakes, heaped up in scandalous profusion,
blushing with currants, shocked him. He
watched Southey, who was hungry and
liked tea cakes, clearing his plate with evil
dent enjoyment, and at last said:
why, Southey, 1 am ashamed of you'll
1t is awful to see such a man as you greedi-
ly devouring this nasty stuff"
Mrs. Southey listened in angry amaze
ment.
'What right have you, Mr.. Shelley, to
call my tea cakes, which l made myself,
nastyi You ought to be ashamed of your
selft'
Mr. Shelley Immediately took up cake,
and finding it good, began to eat as greedi-
ly as Southey himself
Mrs. Southey was pacified, and promised
the receipt to the poet, who declared that
he intended to have hot tea cakes every
evening ''forever." -Youth's Companion.

ANYBODY but Gest for renominatio,

ANYBODY but Gest for denomination
seems to be the sentiment of the repub-
lican masses all over the district, al
though the bosses still adhere to. and de-
clare that there is no one qualified to lead
the forlorn hope but the vsnquished con-
gresham. In this view the bosses may
entertain the correct view, but neverthe,
less the prevailing idea of the party is
to look elsewhere. The Moline Dispatch
of last evening brought out DR.. G.
True.dale's name. and while the Union
lends feeble endorsement to the sugges-
ton, it tops of its endorsement with the
plea more strongly put that Gest above
all should be the man. Indeed, there
does not appear to be any doubt about
Mr.. Gest being the man, and all talk of
anyone else Is idle.

CONGRESSMAN JULIUS CAESAR Br

CONGRESSMAN julius CAESAR BUR
ROWS. of Michigs n, is apt to be chosen
permanent chairman of the republican
national convention. A distinguished
republican leader who visited the capital
yesterday said it would never do, in view
of the controversy between the Harrison
and anti-Hsrrison factions, to select q
man to preside over the convention who
is conspicuously identified with the inter-
ests Of any candidate. Mr.. Burrows is
one of the best qualified men in the party
for the place. He has the voice, the psr-
liamentary skill, and the other qualifica-
tons necessary for successful presiding
officer of q national convention. Ex>
Senator Ingalls, has been spoken of, but
his well known hostility to the president
will probably interfere with his pros.
poets. He is an able parliamentarian
and model presiding officer. but the ad-
ministration men, who are apt 10 be in
the majority viii oppose him.

Likened HimseIf to samuel.

Among the interesting children in Wash
ington is little boy named Harry, who is
apparently never so happy as when listen
ing to his mother fund of Bible stories,
which she is called upon to repeat time and
again. One Sunday not long ago, after
the little fellow had been an attentive list
ener to the story of Samuel for some time,
he left the room, and his mother, wishing
him suddenly for something, called ''Har-
ryp' Knowing ne was in the next room
and could not fail to have heard her, she
twice repeated his name, and then, in an
annoyed tone, going to the door, spoke
quite sharply.
Harry, have called you three times,
why did you not answers"
"Well," came the response, ''the Lord
called Samuel three times and he didn't
get mad about it. Cor. New York Times.

Bound TO Beat Hersx.

The colored peoples United States
Mutual Relief and Protective union has
addressed the following notice to all
members of their race in Illinois:
We, the undersigned voters Of the state
of Illinois do sincerely believe 1t to be
our duty to defeat Henry L. Hertz, can
didate for state treasurer on the republic
can ticket, to be elected next November.
We have just ground for complaint
against Mr.. hertz, and therefore we
pledge ourselves to use every honorable
means to defeat him. First fault we have
to Henry L. Hertz. he is colored mans
enemy; second fault, we find of Henry
L. Hertz he is not republican in prin
ciples. he is standing behind the republic
can poll for the purpose OF
holding public office; third
fault, we have against Henry L..
Hertz is that when he was coroner of
Cook county, he talked and worked very
herd against the colored people to stop
them from working with the white peo-
pie, and by his talk and his work as COR
oner number of colored men were dis
charged from where they were working;
fourth fault we have of Henry L. Hertz.
he has no feeling for poor working
colored man, who lives by his every day
tolls. We denounce Henry L. Hertz for
the damage he has done to the colored
citizens of Illinois, by robbing us of work
and we appeal to all intelligent and pa
triotic Afro American people of Illinois
to unite with us in this work which is q
credit to our race; and in the largest
sense OF the terms we believe we can aid
in bringing great good to our generation.
We appeal particularly to the Afro
American vsters who do their own think
ing and have become convinced that Afro
American citizens can be only saved from
ruin through reforms that are fundamen-
tai and far reaching. When we look at
our number and remember what we dc
through our political toiling yet we col.
ored men are hardly more than school
boys except few days before election.
We desire to right the wrongs done US,
and il the democrats will kindly keep
their hands of of Henry L. Hertz. we col
ored citizens will defeat him by electing
Rufus N. Ramsey to the state treasurer's
Office Of Illinois.

Of preventing the vitiation and debase-
ment Of the ballot by the votes Of any Of
these classes.
No one can .ell to which one Of these
classes the alleged two or three thousand,
whom the Republicans claim to be dis
franchised, belong; but they all belong
to one or the other class which the law, in
common with good morals and good sense
prohibits from participating in the privi-
lege Of suffrage. Suffrage Is useless TO
them except as a debauching merchan-
disc, and harmful to the commonwealth
The Republican managers practically
confessed this when they refused to
agree to an bipartisan committee to
surerintend the assessment.
The result OF this ccnanet is that the
alleged Republican voters are Whann's
poll list for 1891, 1000; for 1892,
4 500; names put on by the assessor and
the Levy Court, 5000; property tax
payers, 3.20O-in all 1890 in a popula-
tion OF 81, 600.
That Is absurd, preposterous and a
threat Of wholesale fraud against the
commonwealth. There are not more than
6, 600 Republican voters in the city they
never polled that number we believe, and
yet they are now proposing to vote
10. 30Of
We must bear In mind always that the
honorable and reliable business men Of
the Republican party are not managing
this business Many Of them are not
even cognizant Of II they shut their eyes
to the disgrace and let men who have
failed in all legitimate and creditable en-
terpriaes take charge Of the Republican
suffrage Of this city. Those men use the
negro vote, even in the primaries aud the
conventions, TO control the white vote.
It is not against the respectable anS
honorable Republicans that we are con
tending. bus against the other classel
backed by nee 70 mobs.

PAuPER INpusTRlEs

OF the various industries OF Dover
mentioned by Republican paper as being
dependent for existence on the tariff
laws, which enable them to sell their
goods at higher prices, are the canning
of vegetables raised from twenty FIVE to
fortY.6ve per cent; prepared meats left
at twenty-five per cent. hosiery max
ing forty per cent. button making raised
from twenty-five to 1.4O0 per cent; ma
chinery forty-hve per cent. Now, the
Republican editor asserts that without
those duties. that is without the Legislation
which enables those Industries to obtsin
higher prices for their products than they
could obtain otherwise, they will go out
Of business.
Does the editor know what he Is
writing abouti Does he know that
those Industries exist bes1use Of the
alleged favorable tariff legislation or that
that alleged legislation being repealed
they would be destroyed Has that editor
or has any other advocate Of protection
ascertalned whether there is any neces
sity for the people to "chip in" and help
those factories At all, and, II so, whether
the people are giving precisely the
proper amount Of assistance. no more
and no lessi
Several mistakes were made in this
matter Of helping alleged pauper indus
tries. For instance, we protected the
tin industry 100 per cent. for sIxteer
years and then finding that it would moi
boom gave It 100 per cent. more. And
yet that only bOoms 'the tin plate liar
We withdrew protection from sugar be
cause the sugar cane industry was prac
tically Democratic industry and becaus
1t would not boom, at all, after thirt,
years. The maple sugar. the acorn. tn

laying industries have all failed Z
boom under the Mckinley. bin
hence there is q current and grown
suspicion that the legislators do no
know what they are legislating abou
and that the country editors wri.e mor
from inspiration than from exact an
accurate knowledge.
II these suspicious are not true the
the editors, at least. might give us som
of the data on which they base the
advocacy Of the policy which has d
stroyed the shipping industry and cril
pied all agricultural industries. Tn.
