An AnecdOte OF Burk e.
New York Ledger.

New York Ledger
Our fathers In the troublous days
OF the Revolution, had no warmer or
truer friend than was Edmund Burke
ihe British statesman, before whose
eloquent thunder the proudest mag
mates quailed. On April 10, 1774 he
delivered in Parliament his celebrat
ed speech against the unjust taxation
of the original thirteen American
colonies. On March %, ITS, he de.
livered another powerful and clio
quent speech in behalfof the Ameri.
cans, wherein he handled the policy
of the Government rather severely;
nor had he spared the King Upon
taking his seat on this occasion one
of his Majesty's Ministers of Finance

cast contempt upon the King, fancy.
ing, 10 doubt, that If he could divert
the attention of the Commons from
the administration to the monarch he
might break the force of Burke's
strong philippics. Burke listened
until the gentleman HI d
concluded, and then ADDRESSING the
Speaker in very quiet and subdued
manner, as though the opposition he
had called up was OF but slight con-
sequence, he said:
"Sir, the honorable gentleman has
exhibited much ardor, though but
very little discrimination. He should
know that, however, may reverence
the King, am not at all inclined to
extend that reverence to his Ministers

Attraction of Physical Beauty. On

That the attraction which physical
beauty exerts on the opposite sexes
can as little be explained as the effect
of q melody, Is a dogma OF the distin-
guished French scientist, Du Bots
Raymond. The results of it, however
are plain. The gorgeous nuptial
plumage displayed by mail birds was
through centuries acquired through
the preference, he holds, or the fe-
males for the most highly ornamented
suitors, progeny OF constantly increas-
ing brilliancy of coloring being thus
obtained. Male birds OF paradise we

The beauty of the species consequent

of song in nightingales might be
attributed to the same cause the fe-

The President of the Atlanta Cham
Der of Commerce Tells Why
the Souh is In Favor of

Protection.
FIX Governor R. B. Bullock, of Geor-
gia, President OF the A tlanta Chamber
of Commerce. said q few days ago In
speaking of the policy of protection in
the south: II am more interested IN
republican success and main tainance
of the policy of protection in this
country, because live in the south
than any republican at the north. You
see, it is this way with republican
in the South, that he has no say in
shaping the policy of the Govern
ment. know that protection means
the successful progress and the COM
plete restoration and building up of
the South to an extent that, was not
possible in the slave days and would
not be possible under free trade. The
adoption of what the Democrats
term the tariff. reform policy, which is
a little more or less than free trade,
would bring complete ruin to four
fifths of the manufacturing
shut down the cotton mills of New
England and Georgia. which now
consume the larger part of the cotton
products of the south; would put the
cotton growers at the, mercy of the
English manufacturers, and would
make the prices even lower than now,
when overproduction has caused
them to drop to the lowest prices in
years. 1t is because have this feel
ing, different from q northern repub-
licaD, that I am anxious that the
republican party should make no mis-
take In its presidential nomination. I"

Elko County Raised,

County Clerk Henderson last even
ing received notice from the State
Board Of Assessors and Equalization
that all property in Elko County had
been raised 10 percent to make it con-
form to it's cash value.
This raise on top of that made by
Assessor Eggers amounts to 2615 per
cent over the assessment as made by
him last year. This is rather tough
on the tax payers of Elko County and
is not calculated to make them love
the State Board.
II the men who compose the State
Board of Assessors and Equalization
are actuated by spirit of fair play,
they will now raise the railroad assess
uent of $4,000 per mile in this Coun-
ty 261a percent or to S1771o to conform
to the assessment Of other property.
Will they do it? We shall sec.

that nearly every man in that coun-

gun. The Mexican cowboys, he says,

him several times, but he hopes to be
able to save his scalp and get back to
