Wilson's Seat In Danger.

There is no better representative OF Dem
ocratic principles in America to-day than
Congressman William l.. Wilson, of West
Virginia. A profound student of ecouom-
ics. his views upon the tariff and kindred
questions are the result, not OF a blind ac-
ceptamcc of his party's doctrines, but.of the
conviction, born of conscientious study,
that the fiscal policy of the Democratic
party best subserves the interests of the
people
There are many who share Mr.. Wilson's
belief in Democratic principles, hut few,
indeed, who so consistently carry out those
principles and so ably expound them. AL
though he has become figure of national
interest in the politics of America, Mr..
Wilson's character and bearing have lost
none of their simplicity, and in his private
relations he is, as ever, Il kindly, unassum-
ing gentleman The good work he has done
in behalf of tariff reform has fairly won
for him a high place among the leaders OF
the Democracy, as is sufficiently indicated
by his choice as presiding officer at Chicago
and as spokesman Of the committee appoint
ed to notify the Democratic candidates Of
their election.
The Importance of returning Mr. Wilson
to his seat in Congress is urgent, in view of
the tariff legislation which will follow a
Democratic victory in November Yet 30
closely has he been occupied in his work
for the national ticket that bis own inter
ests have been neglected. The Republicans
of the State are conducting an unusually
vigorous campaign, and MIR. Stephen b.
Elkins hopes, by means of his own large
resources, aided by those Of the Republican
National Committee, to secure the States
electoral vote for President Harrison in re-
turn for his own appointment as Secretary
of War. In the face of such an onslaught
upon him, Mr.. Wilson's election is more
than doubtful Il can he assured only by
as vigorous campaign IN the pant oi the
Democrats as is already being conducted by
the Republicans The state Democratic
Committee is fully alive to the situation,
and is doing valiant service for Tie party,
but il cannot look for the same aid from
Chairman Harrity as its opponents can ex
pect from Chairman Carter and it has not
the wealth of an Elkins behind it. Demo-
crats of West Virginia must, therefore, 60
to the assistance of the party in, that State
if Cleveland is to carry her electoral vote
and the Fify-third Congress is to number
William l.. Wilson among its members

Fifteen years ago Judge McSweeuey
was famous criminal lawyer of southern
Michigan. He was called upon to de-
fend a young woman from the charge of
having poisoned her old husband. 1t
was question of whether or not she had
placed poison in cake of which the old
man had eaten. A portion Of the cake
had been anayzed by a chemist and
found to contain a grea deal Of deadly
poison. The chemist testified this in
court Other witnesses succeeded in
making chain of damning evidence
against the pretty young widow The
time came for the summing up speeches
of the attorneys. The prosecution began
and finished, and all looked hopeless for
the prisoner at the bar Judge McSwee-
ney, the only speaker for the defense,
arose amid breathless silence. The room
was crowded and all were listening. One
could almost hear the quiet, it was so in
tense. He began in low tone to sum
up the evidence in defense of the prison
er. He had been allowed an hour in
which TO plead his side of the case.
He dealt with everything but the cake.
1t rested upon the table just at his right
hand, where it had stood during all the
weary trial Thirty minutes passed and
the people were still montionless, charm
ed by the sweet eloquence Of the gruf'
old lawyer. Three-quarters Of an hour
passed by, then another ten minutes
When the clock over the big desk tod
him there were but five minutes left, he
reached his hand out to the cake, half of
which stood upon the table, and broke
off ragged chunk. lie held this in his
hand and between sentences took great
mouthfuls of it. During those five min
utes he calmly argued the case and ate
cake. He demolished more than half Of
it. The chemist had declared that there
was enough poison in il to kill fifty men.
The good people looked at him in amaze
meut and the jurors turned to each other
and whispered. McSweeney wound up
his speech, took another chunk Of cake
and walked quietly from the courtroom
eating it.
He closed the door behind him, ran
into small room close by aud locked
the door. Two physicians stood ready
with a stomach pump, aud in ten min
utes the cake was all in the sIop jar
The jury returned verdict Of mot gull
ty" without leaving the courtroom.

protec,ion AppIomania.

During the great fight for free trade
in England in the early forties the Tories
were violent and irrational in their OPP
position to it, just as the Republicans in
this country are now. And occasionally
some titled member Of the house Of com
mons, notorious for his supply Of blue
blood and his lack of gray brain matter,
would raise the point that Mckinley
now echoes-the point that protective
tariffs compel foreigners to pay our
taxes. But these sprigs of nobility
brought the blush to the face Of the
greedy landlords, for whom they spoke,
aud were laughed at by every one else.
1t is mortifying TO find the governor Of
a great state going to the England Of
lslO-6-to the Tory landlords Of that
England-for protection arguments to
use in this country today.-Standard.

.Rednction ad uIfimum. -

Suppose that pauper labor goods
would not only come in free Of duty.
but free of cost; what disaster would
befall u.s. Every one who now pro
duced these goods would have absolute
ly nothing to do. This certainty would
be the extension Of the free trade idea
to its worst possible phase, and yet who
among our protechonist friends would
not be hanging around the wharf at dis
tribution time: Were he asked why he
did not reject the good things, his an
swer would be the free traders, There
is more fun in getting plenty with little
or no work than in working hard to get
few things" His concern for the shoe
maker and tailor would vanish as he
saw them initiating his example. And
then there would be time for him TO
study the reason why there ever was
opposition to any approach to the mil
lennium of industrial economy.-St.

-LonafelioV.
Into all lives some rain must fall :"
Into all eyes some teardrops start;
Whether they fall as gentle shower,
Or drop like fire from an aching heart.
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep;
Into all souls some doubtings come,
Lashing the waves of lifes grca deep
From dimpling waves to seething foam.
Into all PATHWAYS some clouds must lower
Under ali feet some sharp thorns spring.
Tearing the flesh tO beeding wounds.
Or entering the heart with their bittersting
Upon all br0ws rough winds must blow,
Over all shoulder cross must he lain.
Bowing the form in It's lofty height,
Down To the dust in bitter pain
Into all hands is some duty thrust,
Unto all arms some burden given,
Crushing he heart with its dreary weight
Or lifting the soul from earth To heaven
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear arsunshine comes streaming down
Gliding the ruins of life's great plain,
Weaving for many golden crown.

The Teran's Pet Centipedes.

81 was going to New York some time
ago." said H. c.. Forest, as he took seat
in little experience meeting which the
drummers were holding in the corridor
of the LindelI. AT way station in
Indiana little old man enterered the
sleeper, carrying wooden box bored
full of small holes. The car was crowded
and nearly everybody had gone to bed.
The newcomer ordered his berth made
up and retired to the smoking compart-
meni for few whiffs on black brier-
wood pipe that was strong enough to
curl the hair on wooden Indian
When he started'to retire be picked up

spair that | ventured TO ask him what

Men and women came tumbliDg out of
their berths in their nighicaps and short
stop clothes. One woman scratched her
self on a pin, declared that cenlipede
was in her clothes and got rid of her
scant habiment in one turn and two mo-
lions. A fat man, who was a victim of
prickly heat, imagined that he could feel
a centipede making its way down his
spinal column and could with difficulty
be restrained from jumping out of the
window. Mosquito bites were magnifed
into deadly wounds and the whole train
ransacked for doctors. The colored por-
tor stood on the rear platform and shook
as though affected with palsy. Every
body crowded into the next car, shook
out their clothes gingerly and made has
