promote a personal end. The suits
against the whisky and other trusts
will be held dangling over the heads Of
the accused until November. after
which they will disappear from The
courts. The scheme is ludicrously OBJ
vious, but it has serious side What
right has the administration to COM
mence these prosecutions without ser.-
ous purpose to continue them? The
administration will thunder in the
courts from Boston to San Francisco
merely to furnish campaign thunder
for stump orators. Thereafter the prose-
cutions will die away; and the courts,
having been made to serve political
turn, will be permitted to resume their
orderly process by an attorney general
who is in the habit of collecting cam
paign funds for his patron, Harrison,
and, as q politician, thinks even prosti-
tuition Of courts fair. He is engaged in
sorry business. Had he been honest
he would have commenced last sum

.HARRlSON'S METHODS.
The willy Executive viii Usc the Pows
of the Courts.

The willy Executive viii Use the Power
of the Courts.
President Harrison is an acute poll
tician.
When he was candidate for the
presidency in 1883 he sent his law part
ner, Mr., Miller. to Chicago to collect
funds wherewitb to carry Indiana and
he received five thousand dollar re-
sponses from such patriots as Samuel
Allerton and George NJ. Pullman. He
is row powerful as chief executive and
is no longer under the necessity of
begging money contributions, but he
remains the acute politician, for he is a
candidate for reelection and is still
using his law partner, Mr. Miller, who
is now, through his favor, attorney gen.
eral of the United States
1t is cheap politics to harvest APP
plause for commencing suits against
alleged combines. In 1883 Miller got
no money out of one Phil Armour, who
is said to be connected with dressed,
beef com hine. But, nevertheless, some
capital may be made out of him by
Miller in 1892 Prosecute him on the
theory that he is violating the Sherman
law against trusts. Such prosecution
will be good enough Morgan, until
after election, when the writs may go
by the board. Mr.. Miller, the law
partner of Harrison. was formerly col
lecting money for campaign purposes.
AS attorney general he is now collect
ing campaign capital of different
kind. Hence this talk of prosecution
under a law as open as n sieve.
Besides attacking Armour and his
associates the law department as man
aged by Miller is said to be after a
trust alleged to be making and vending
biscuits in restraint of trade. Here is
more capital Any investigation of the
New York Biscuit Company will show
that it has a cousinship with the Dia-
the Diamond Match Company the
supreme court of Michigan once had
something to say uncomplimentary of
one Russell A. Alger, who aspires TO
represent republicanism at Minneapo-
lis as an opponent Of benjamin Harri-
son. Touch the New York Biscuit
Company and you touch the Diamond
match. Touch the Diamond match,
and, presto! you have Alger revealed
The attorney general is mighty
shrewd camp aigner for Benjamin Har-
rison. his patron and law partner. He
is playing astutely for certain amount
of unthinking popular applause. But
while this may make the groundlings
laugh it cannot but make the judicious
grieve. \ For it involves necessarily the
prostitution of the machinery of justice
for personal and partisan advantage.
Does any body suppose that these
prosecutions are meant in downright
earnestness and singleness of pur-
pose? tits brutum fulmen, a campaign
thunder not altogether harmless, be-

The Indiana republican conven-
ton, which assembled for the benevo-
lent purpose of choosing Harrison dele

of the administration, was not exactly
love feast. An attempt by malcon-
tent to express his opinion of the
president was interrupted by mingled
cheers and Kisses, and cries of: Throw
him outr' and shouts of approval The
convention dsbanded in confusion and
one considerable delegation went home
boasting OF its ability and purpose to
defeat the republican ticket in the
state this fall. Yet the Indiana malcon-
tents are unreasonable. They attack
Harrison, and doubtless show good
cause for their hostility, but they are
wholly unable to suggest a candidate
to take his place. The republican party
is confronted with Hobson's choice

little stream, where we saw the tigers

like footprints of giant cat Breath
lessly we moved on toward the deep
jungle of tangled BAN boos and palms
Mr.. Norton, who had often shot tigers

The Hindoo doctor, owing to his knowl-
edge of the Jungle, was made the lead
er Of the entire party and we began
our march.
1t was very hot morning. Every
thing around was parched and with

as slippery as glass. The bamboos
grew so near together that it was inn
possible to keep in direct line Prog

We might have been out three hours,
Watching every patch Of jungle and
elephant grass for sight Of the beast
we longed to meet, when the wild chat
tering OF troop of monkeys indicated
that the tiger was not far off. What
an exciting moment it was! Though
the heat was intense and we were
very tired ca we went, as stealthily as
possible, although sometimes falling
on tho slippery leaves But the bare
feet OF our Indian hunters made nc
noise as they stealthily stole through

bound toward me, dashing the sepoy in
front to the ground.
Twas paralyzed with fear. Surely
my last hour had comel But q native
sprung between us, the rifles cracked,
the hunting knives cleaned. It was
soon hand-to-hand fight One gallant
young sepoy lay senseless; blood
dripped from the shoulder Of another.
Still the enraged tigress held her
ground, while fear and horrible fas-
cination riveted us to the spot. Al
though bleeding from a great wound in
the shoulder, the tigress once more
made ready to spring. The ladies were
in imminent peril. But the brave Hindoo
doctor, knife in hand, plunged almost
into the jaws of the tigress in deadly
embrace. Over rolled man and beast;
sometimes CLEAN of blood stained
white showed where our poor defender
was writhing; but the great, tawny
body of the tigress seemed to fill all
space No one dared to shoot, for the
rifle shot might kill the man instead OF
the beast. Finally-it might have
been seconds, but it seemed hours--a
brave young sepoy rushed up, knife in
hand, his swarthy face under his white
turban cleaning with excitement
"Mem Sahibs' he cried. my doctor!
He saved my wife and child.>> He must
not die to-day" and the brave, fellow
rushed forward intosthezjaws of death.
His silver-hilted knife. sharp as a
Toledo blade, cleaned with lightning
rapidity; it descended just over the
heart. The tigress gave one scream
that made the jungle reecho, then lay
quiet forever. She had fought bravely
for her mate and little ones hidden in
the jungle. but against numbers.
The poor doctor, blood-stained and
senseless, was drawn away from under
the outstretched paw of the dead ami
NAL. The other men escaped with
only few scratches, except the brave
rescuer, who had great cash cut in
his brown cheek by the enraged tigress.
The splendid creature lay stretched
on the ground, her golden brown skin,
with its velvety black stripes hecked
with blood, cleaning in the hot Indian
sun. From tip to tip she measured
twelve feet. All was joy and excite
ment, for as we dashed water in the
face of the wounded doctor he opened
his eyes and smiled family.
THANK Cob, the Mem Sahibs are
safer and we echoed his prayer.
Every one was happy, all the bear
ers and sepoys were making salaam to
us and each other, hardly excepting
the dead tigress.
The first tiger had disappeared, nor
were the men in condition to fight him.
So, after taking the splendid skin from
the tigress, for which proof of tigers
death the British government gives
forty rupees, we returned to our tents,
delighted with our first tiger hunt
The great skin, with its splendid
CLEAN of gold and ebon that would
charm an artists eye, lies under my
feet as write. But never look at it
without shudder. thinking of that
awful day in the jungle when my life
hung in the balance, and the brave
Hindoo doctor and the gallant sepoy
turned the scale in my favor.-Mem-

The fact that Mr.. Blaine has ap-

The supEaFLux or SYMPATHY.


g'here Is mystic mucflage for sticking souls
together
It's masterfu tcnacity will never let them
part,
and Il holds as strong as leather. through all
change Of time and weather.
The glue Of generous comradeship that oozes
from the heart.
Let us drink LIES wine or NORWOOD from one
demijohn together,
And ride fate's bareback racer toward the
fast approaching goal,
Over hills or over heather, in the dark or sun
bright weather,
With superiux OF sympathy that saturates
the soul
And though every year grows smaller all our
stock OF strength and vigor, syss
And though every morn wefe older than we
: ever were before,
Let us not CONCEAL in rigor, let our food OF love
grow bigger,
Let our superhux of sympathy develop more
and more.
Once ahen young and self -complacent, crowned
with VISIONS full fruition,
We knew earths sum Of knowledge and su-
premely knew we knew IL,
Our minds were like cushion stuffed and
crammed with erudition,
And our pride said: Rise and run the earth, .
and we replied: "We'll do it"
But we find our layer Of learning every year is
spread more thinly,
There's tariff on true wisdom, fixed accord
ing to its grade, "
AS swain would say, it's "gin1y' high enough
to suit Mckinley;
At the custom house OF destiny the duty must

Though each year the dark delusion that we're

Fades into the moonless limbo Of the "things
beyond CONTROL
Though we miss wealth's golden shower we can
find richer dover
In our superfiax Of sympathy that saturatcs
the soul.
