A PIN CAMPAIGN.


How the Great Napoleon Predicted His
Victory at Marengo.
When Napoleon was first consul OF
France. Bourrienne one day just be-
fore the Eastern campaign. came into
the cabinet at the Tuileries and found
a large map unrolled upon the carpet
and Napoleon stretched upon it, NOV
ing pins about that were tipped with
red and black sealing wax.
Bourrienne very soon saw that the
red represented the French and the
black the Austrian forces; he watched
the progress of the pin campaign i'll
silence, but with the deepest interest
Having conducted the manevers to
a successful termination, Napoleon
looked up at his secretary and said;
Do you think that l shall beat

why how can I tell?" replied
Bourrlenne.
Tell! you simpleton. look here.

main there until Genoa surrenders.

reserves are in Alexandria. Passing

into the Great St Bernard. 1 fall
upon his rear cut Of his communica-
tons with Austria, and meet him in
the valley here"
So saying. he stuck a red pin into
the plain OF 'Marengo"
Bourrienne looked upon the moving
of the pins as mere pastime and was
so incredulous that Napoleon rolled up
the map exclaiming playfully:
oh you ninny and goose"
Ten weeks later Bourrienne found
himself writing up the battle OF Ma
rengo at Napoleon's dictation on the
very spot where he had placed the pin
and recalled the circumstance with
wonder at his foresight Wide Awake

WHAT BEAT HILL IN GEORGIA.

Hill and his supporters down in Geor-
gia confidently expected to secure the
delegation from that state to the Chicago
convention, and it was no small discom-
future when it was announced that Hill
was overwhelmingly defeated. The
cause OF the defeat has been a mystery
until now it positively asserted to have
been the result Of the most novel eulogy
that was passed up Mr.. Cleveland by one
of the speakers be ore the convention.
mr. Cleveland" said this orator in a
fine, rounded period, ''is middle-aged
man of good habits, married, with one
child and four years experience"
No doubt an inventory of each candi-
dates family, habits and chattel mort
cages, if delivered in a swelling, rotund
voice, would awaken attention in any
gathering. The innovation is refresh
ing. Excepting the four years expert
ence, very many men in this world
could run for the chief magistIacy on
the qualifications of middle-age, wife,
good habits and baby. But Mr.. Hill
isn't one of them. And that's what's
the matter with David.

JERRY AND THE FARMER.

1t looks very much as if the sockless
statesman had been tempered with by
the unholy trusts. There is no denying
that for some reason Jerry has turned
square about and is now opposed to the
anti-option bill. Every farmer in the
Seventh Kansas district is in favor of
that bill, and Derry knows it, and when
he makes up his mind to vote against it
he might as well at the same time drop
his ambition to go back to congress. His
excuse that the farmers of southwest
Kansas don't understand the question
won't do. They know that there is more
windwheat than actual grain sold and
know that their good wheat is forced to
meet the competition of the wind article
every day in the year.
Jerry Simpson used to sit around on
the dry goods boxes down at Medicine
Lodge and tell his gaping auditors how
the average congressman grew rich by
bartering away his vote. Can it be that
Jerry has left off representing the ALI
ance and gone to representing himself !?
Who Will account for Jerry's flop? His
own declaration that the farmers of the
Seventh Kansas district don't understand
the question, won't so down. When
Jerry was charged by C. Wood Davis
with having gone back on the farmers of
Southwest Kansas, Jerry squirmed, but
Jerry didn't deny it farther than 10 say
that he was going to use his own mind,
as the people knew nothing about the
question.

ONE OF THE BIG FOUR.

From tine Winfield Daily Courier.
Cowiey county has been, and perhaps
always will be, the banner Prohibition
county OF the state. Her action last Sat
urday at Arkansas City in showing her
preference for Colonel u. NJ. Murdoch
for governor. denotes that in his nomin
alton for that important office harmony
will prevail in the party should Murdock
receive the nomination. Cowley county
is a strong Prohibition county and her
preference for Murdoch indicates con-
cessions to all wings OF the party. Pro
hibit;on is one of the strongest planks in
the Republican platform, and with Col
onel III, N. Murdoch at the head of af
fairs the principle of the party will be
carried out. The Prohbitionists willnot
be compelled to sacrifice any OF their
principles by the election of Colonel
Murdoch. He is man who will enforce
the law, and man who will respect the
platform upon which he is elected. Cow
ley county is for Murdoch because in his
selection to that important office all
branches of the Republican party in the
state will be brought together and victory
will be the result.

EFFECTS OF THE EXCLUSION ACT

From the Chicago Tribune.
''The Chinese exclusion act" said R.
G.. Mackay, an American resident of
Vancouver, B. c., at the Palmer yester-
day, twas a stroke of bad policy for the
United States and will yet be regretted
by many who supported it. The reports
of the number of Chinese coming into
the United States have been greatly mag
nifed by Pacific coast people, and 10
please that section the commerce Of the
United States with China has been
seriously injured, while England has
been the gamer. Vancouver will sup
plant San Francisco and the commerce
in tea and silks will increase at the ex-
pense of American transportation lines.
The English line of steamers now run
ming from Vancouver to Japan and China
is subsidized by the imperial government
in the sum of $3.50, 900 annually. Every
Chinaman entering Vancouver pays the
Canadian government poll tax of $50.
1t can be estimated that not more than
5000 of these people enter Canada in a
year, and more than half of them sneak
into the United States"

The Chicago News Records Washing

The Chicago News Records Washing
ton correspondent reports a conversation
that occurred one day last week between
Mr.. Blaine and a friendly senator in
which the former said: 'SThe Office of
president is a laborious one for any man,
but l think it would be especially hard
for me, because if were in the White
House its doors would swing both ways
and l would freely receive every citizen
who came to Washington and who
wished to see the chief executive" The
great premier no doubt meant this OBJ
servatlon-if he really made it-as one
of many reasons why he should not have
the duty and responsibility thrust upon
him, in view of his greatly exhausted
physical resources. But it is sliced upon
by the few opponents to President Har-
rison's nomination more for the purpose
Of harrassing the president than from an
honest desire and purpose to serve Mr..
Blaine
