THE NEWS TURN NOW.

I'LL NLWO lUNNNUW.
The most amusing thing in Congress to-
day is the mortal fear every Dsm1e1ras III
the House has OF the wit and ability OF
Tom Reed.-Cleyeland Leader.
Well, Tom is caution TO be sure.
Congress- determination TO defer the sill
yer legislation for year or two VIII DE
acceptable 10 the great majority Q, the
people IN this country. Now III the HOUSE
of Representatives Will lay aside lts tariH
tinkering AS equally useless another dis.
turbing element in the business AFFAIRS Oh
the country will be removed.-Newport
| Observer.
And the Democratic majority can go
home and see to their fences and plant
ing.
Husbands who like Mr. Deacon, wish
| 10 shoot to wound and not 10 XIII, are au-
| yised 10 study the anatomy OF the human
body, ana to practise shooting at DUN
mies.-Boston News.
Or if it comes 10 practising why not
| practice not shooting at ally
The visiting congressman may like IL so
| well here that they will wire on to Wash
/ ington, order the capitol shipped here
| and begin TO make laws and appropria-
| tions without delay.-Chicago Post.
Chicago is interested i'll that program,
especially the appropriations.
The Cleveland men tell us that the
| South will be solid for their candidate.
! Well, If Watterson should be nominated
| will not the South be solid for himy Then
! place Hill second on the ticket ana that
/ will make New York solid also. Why
not Watterson and Hill?-New York
! Herald.
Because Watterson couldn't carry
! New York. He's too much enamored of
the star-eyed goddess of free-trade.
! Democracy needs a straddle candidate.
Free ore and coal means ruin TO the
| miner. Free wool means ruin TO the sheep
raiser Free lumber, free salt, free this
! and free that each means ruin TO some
American industry. Give us free raw
! MATERIAL" says the free trader, "and we
! will capture the markets of the world"
! Well, our tariff law does that very thing
/ IL gives drawback OF % per cent. on all
| imported material used in manufactures
! for the export trade. Don't be deceived,
| then, by the delusive and dishonest cry
! for free raw material. American Econo-
! mist.
Each industry's free raw material is
some other industries finished product.
That's the truth i'll Il nutshell.
There will be no advance made toward
free coinage this week, which ought to
reconcile honest people 10 another week OF
do-nothing.
The Teiegrdn'S remark is ambiguous,
! but ut its best it's hard thing TO be able
TO say nothing better of ones party than
the less it does the less danger the coun-
try is in.
Cleveland, crowded out of New York,
! has started side show in New Jersey. 1t
won't save him. m.-Boston News
Probably not, for Hill is quite capable
of gobbling the side show.
If free silver coinage should be made
one plank in the Democratic platform
! there would be no need of any others
Journal
And if free silver coinage shouldn't be
! made one plank in the Democratic
platform there wouldn't be use in any
other.
Things have come TO a pretty pass when
| a Congressman no longer dare speak his
mind on woman suffrage. II he says he
! goes in for il, men will laugh at him. If
he says he is down on 1t, women iii his
! district will try To defeat him. A Con-
! gressman's lot is not always happy one.
! Newport Observer.
But the mems laughs will hurt him
less than the women's enmity.
Senator Hill is quoted as saving i'm JUS
! tification of seeking the high office, that
"the Presidency is not handed to any
man on silver platter. New York
| World.
Neither is it usual to drop the Presi-
dency into the monkeys cap when he
makes his begging round after the organ
stops playing.
One of the first results of the Mckinley
| izing of the French duties on food prod
| ucts is notably increased demand for
! horsehesh In Paris in consequence of the
| high price of other animal food. Hip
! pophagy. however, long since became well
! established in that city. dating, of course,
! from the days of the German siege; and,
| il may be added. il is by no means SO
senseless and unwholesome practice as
one might at first be disposed to think
| Journal.
The French save every element of
food value. That is not IA bad scheme
at all. even if horses are eaten. 1t was
the French nation which taught us to
eat frog legs
