WHO ARE BACKING 1T!

It seems that Haley is to be cursed
with variety hall. The opening has
been delayed by the evident lack OF
funds OF the projectors; but these, 1t
is stated, have been supplied by as
pirants to political emoluments, and
the place viii! open soon. Whe Their
it will pay or not remains to be seen.
Unfortunately for tho cause Of
morality and common decency. there
is danger that the new venture will
pay. In frontier community such
as this, where hundreds of men remain
shut up in the mountains fer months
Mt time and have no opportunity TO
get acquainted with good women,
they are not apt to be over scrupulous
when they come to town in search OF
that variety to the monotony Of their
existence which they variously call
"going on a tear" shaving a good
time" or "painting the town red"
They are therefore likely to patronize
snide newspapers, dives and kindred
places to sufficient extent, at any
rate, to enable them to exc out a
miserable existence. The variety hall
will therefore be apt to remain open,
even if 1t does not prosper, and it will
doubtless be enabled to pay the very
high license charged such sink holes.
But the politicians who are backing
this place are making serious mis-
take it they think that by SO doing
they increase their chances of success
The "hurrah" days are passed in thi:
region; the wild scenes customar,

1t was in the early days of river nav
igation that merry party steamed up
the Mississippi on the Mary Annie.
Prominent among them was loud
voiced, overbearing opinionated man
who took snpreme delight in engaging
his fellow passengers in long winded
religious arguments.
Predestination was his hobby, and
all. opposition to his views was over
borne by sheer agressiveness and lung
power. From dawn to bedtime he rung
the changes ON whatever will be will
be, until he became the terror of all.
One night there came shock which
brought the boat to a sudden standstill.
She had struck snag. There was no
danger, but for short time the wild
est confusion prevailed.
In ihe midst of it all our argumenta-
tive friend was seen running to and fro
in frenzy of fear, begging and pray
ing for life preserver.
"My dear sir" said the captain,
soothingly, why this needlefs alarm ?
Remember that whatever has been fore
ordained will be in spite of our efforts
to prevent it."
'Oh, l know it," he said, wringing
his hands in agony, 81 know it. But
what is the use to hurry matters ?'

not by being arrogant" or "irritatingn
but by being intelligent, masterful and
firm. British attacks on the American
Government in the present juncture are
simply the growls of the beaten party.
But what shall be said of an Amer
lean political organization whose warm
est ally is the one foreign power that
isthe persistent antagonist of the United
States? What shall be said of party
platform whose utterances are SO un-
American that they Immediately evoke
praise from foreign newspaper press
whose hostility to America is intense
and maligant? What can be said ex-
cept that the Democratic party has be-
come so thoroughly unpatriotic under
the inspiration of British free trade
that it now represents foreign interests
against American interests and is un-
tit to receive the vote of American
citizens?

THE OLD MAID.
A Class Of WOmanhOOd that is Dear to
Many Hearts.

We have all forgotten the typical old
maid of the olden time. She has given
place to more loveable and attractive
type of womanhood. The modern old
maid is sweet tempered and jolly, with
dimples in her cheeks and laugh as
musical as the bobolink's song. She
wears elegantly fitting tailor made
gowns and becoming ornaments around
her plump, white throat. She goes to
concerts. parties, suppers, lectures, and
matinees, and she does not go alone.
She wears killing bonnets, and has live
poets, philosophers and statesmen in
her train. In fact the modern old maid
is as good if not little better than the
modern young maid. She has sense
and ability as well as dimples and
curves, and many of them have bank
books and dividends. But this is not
all. 1t is her sweet womanly presence
that comes to the house of sorrow and
brings the peace that passeth under
standing. 1t is she who comforts and
soothes the weary and suffering and
brings the sunshine of hope back to
fading eyes. Many of us have sweet
chapters of praise in our hearts for the
dear old maids. God bless them.

THIS Is A BILLION CONGRESS-.
S22,OOO,OOO Ahead of the First Session
OF the Last Congress-.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.--The compar-
lson of appropriations of this session
OF Congress with those of the first ses-
sion of the last Congress, made in the
House today by Mr.. Holman, and
which called forth statement in re-
buttal for the Republicans by Mr.. Hen
derson, of Iowa, shows that the total

Quoting from these amounts the regular
and deficiency pension appropriations,
the appropriations for the first session
of the last Congress exceeded the ap-
preparations for this session by $33, 1884,

while this Congress has so far appro-
priated $23,476,773 The deficiencies
appropriated for by this Congress
amount to Sl4,441,121, as compared
with S3S, 500, ,749 appropriated for by the
first session of the last Congress. Mr..
Holman estimates that the amount of
revenues for the next fiscal year will
be S455, 1886, $50.
Mr.. Henderson, in his statement,
shows that the regular and permanent
annual appropriations provided FOR by
the House in the first session of the
Fifty First Congress aggregated only
SAB, ,322, ,S77, while in the present ses-
sion of the House there has been APP
propriated $4S5, ~, making the ap-
priations of the House for this session
exceed those of the House for the first
session of the Fifty First Congress by

priated in the first session of the last
Congress, making the total appropria-
tions for this session to exceed those of
the corresponding session of the last
Congress by 800, ,050, 900.

The Party That Keeps Its Promises.

When Governor Mckinley declared at
Minneapolis that Republican conven-
tions declare principles and policies
and purposes, and when intrusted with
power they execute and enforce them, "
he made a statement whose truth every
Republican will recognize. The plat
form of the National Republican Con-
vention of 1883 furnishes striking
illustration of this salient fact. That
representative body of Republicans de-
clared that 'the Republican party will
effect all needed reductions of the ma
tional revenue and by such revision of
the tariff laws as tends to check imports
of articles produced by our people, the
production of which gives employment
to our labor, and release from import
duties those articles of foreign produc-
ton Except luxuries) the like of which
can not be produced at home.
The party OF progress has grandly
fulfilled its promise. The free list has
been notably increased. The value of
articles imported free of duty during
the year ending March 81, 1899, aggre.
gated $3.50, ,294 1886, or "a. 65 per cent. of
the total imports for that year. The
value of merchandise on the free list
imported during the year ending March
81, 1899, amounted to $461 1888, or
55. per cent. of the whole value of the
imports for the same period.
The importation of dutiable competi-
tive articles has very greatly decreased
in value as an effect of the Mckinley
law. But one of the most convincing
proofs of the beneficial results of the
measure is seen in the notable increase
in exports since the passage of the bill
two years ago. The excess of exports
over imports for the three years ending
March 81, 1889, was S2S,9S4, ,739, while
for the three years ending March 81,
1892, it was $2S1, 1877, 1867.

to 10 anything it does it.-New York

Husband and Wife Suicide.

BALTIMORE, July IA man and wo-
man registered as F. st. Cloud and wife
were found dead Wednesday afternoon
in their lodging house. At O'Clock
a bell boy was sent to the room with
Mr.. st. Clouds bill, amounting to
little over $50. About o'clock, the
bill not having been paid, the acting
manager visited the room. He knock
ed, but received no response. He tried
the door, but found it locked. En-
trance to the room was obtained by
climbing over the transom. st. Cloud
was found lying on the bed dead. The
woman lay on the floor with feet to-
ward the bed also dead. Neither had
more than single garment on. The
room was in great disorder. The trunks
were open and their contents were scat
tered about the floor. Quantities of
rugh on rats, laudanum and morphia
were found in the room, and it is pre-
sumed that it was by some such means
that the couple committed suicide.
The woman had been dead about three
hours. She must have killed herself
after the presentation of the bill. The
man had been dead only short time.
They came to the hotel June 81, and
registered from New York. Among
their effects were papers showing st.
Cloud to have been discharged from
the Grenadier Guards of England, June
%, 1890. His linen all bore the name
of F. F. Blondy. On the woman 8 hand
were two rings, one of which was in
scribed, "From Mamma to Irene" On
the fly leaf of book found in the room
was written "Irene M. Story, Janu-
ary %, 1891, Locust Point" Some
handkerchiefs were also found marked
MRS. w. Coats" The room, besides
being Uttered with cigarette ends, con-
tanned several ale bottles in which ale
had been served. The bodies, horribly
contorted, were taken to the mOrgue.

Foreign Attacks on Republican Foreign
Policy,

The London Graphic, in its editorial
in support of Grover Cleveland S candi-
dacy, from which the Press quoted yes
terday, alleges, as one of the reasons
why Englishmen will regard Mr.. Cleve-
lands campaign with cordial SYM
pathy," that the Democratic platform
wisely condemned the arrogant and
irritating foreign policy of its oppo-
nents." Condemnation for the Repub-
lican foreign policy from such source
is its highest praise. This avowal of
the London Graphic is practical trib-
ute to the wisdom, efficiency and firm
ness with which the administration of
President Harrison has maintained
American rights against insolent British
aggression.
British influences were behind the
bluster and menace of Chill. The Just
and unyielding position assumed by the
United States Government and the
prompt mobilization of the naval forces
of this country, not only brought the
hostile Chilian oligarchy to terms but
seriously impaired the prestige and
power of Great Britain in South Amer
lea. England's utterly unjustifable
attitude in regard to the protection of
seal life in Behring Sea met with re-
sistance of such ability and strength
from this Government that Lord Sails.
burg was forced to beat a retreat and
agree to modus vivendi in spite of the

Governor Routt, of Colorado, says:
Republicans of the East can rest as-
sured that Colorado will give good ma
jority for the Republican ticket, both

The Republicans of Nevada are united
and confident. They believe the pros
poets are very favorable for the success

AMERICA FIRST.
How the Young Should Observe the Ma.
tons Anniversary.

This is the season when young Amer.
lea celebrates the glorious deeds of the
forefathers, when they cut the leading
strings that bound them to the old
world, and stepped forth with the
independence of manhood.
lttook Rome five hundred years, five
centuries of war, intrigue and AFRO
gance, to overspread southern Europe.
In little more than one century, saws
the Youths Companion, America has
grown to magnitude, in area and per-
haps in population also, equal to that
OF Rome in its most magnificent days.
"Civis Romanus sum! was the proud
est boast that could fall from the lips
of man at the beginning of the Chris
tian era. Is there today an American
who rates his citizenship in the great
republic at a lower value than Roman
freedom nineteen hundred years ago?
The day for spread eagle" brag is
long past, but there is no reason why
we should hesitate to say, what not
we alone but all the people of the
world believe, that it is the destiny of
this country to become the greatest, the
strongest, the wealthiest, the most self
supporting, of all the nations of the
earth. 1t is already the greatest self
governing community the world has
ever seen.
How can we make it greater? By stand
ing together as Americans. We shall
not magnify, but shall belittle ourselves
if we swagger before our neighbors-
using bravado for the strong, and in
science in our treatment of the weak.
But we should take American views
instead of party views, when questions
arise between this government and
others.
The motto America against the
world would be contemplate motto.
Yet is it not better to adopt even such
motto than to take the side of the
world against America, or to be indiffer-
ent when the interests of ones own
country are assailed?
The Fourth of July is good time for
us all to resolve that we will be Ameri-
cans at heart Not that we will build
up our own country on the ruins of
others, but that when there is clash
ing of interests those of our native land
shall have our hearty support.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Review Of Reviews, always time
ly in the subject matter it presents, is
especially so in the July number. AL
though the month covered by this issue
expired less than five days after the Re-
publican candidate for President was
nominated, it contains perhaps the
most complete and intelligent character
sketch of Benjamin Harrison that has
ever been written. In the text of the
article appears portrait of Benjamin
Harrison at his desk, taken on the 10Th
of June-four days after the Minneapo-
lis Convention adjourned. In addition
to this sketch of the nominee of the Re-
publican Convention there are reviewed
and discussed, in. the department 1.-THE
Progress of the World the work and
proceedings of the Convention itself.
With this account are presented por-
traits of the most CONSPICUOUS figures in
that great political assembly: Governor
Mckinley, Chauncey NJ. Depew, Sena-
tor Wolcott, General John G. New, Ex-
Senator ingalls,, Ex-Speaker Reed and
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster There is besides
these striking portrait of Hon. White
law Reid, the Republican nominee for
Vice. President. The character sketch
of Benjamin Harrison in the July num-
Der of the Review of Reviewsi is by Gen.
eral Thomas ]. Morgan, a personal and
political friend of the President. While
naturally friendly and appreciative, the
article is yet discriminating. The Re-
view of Reviewsis is a non partisan maga-
zine, and publishes this sketch of the
Republican nominee now on account
of its timeliness, for the same reason
that it gave in the February number a
character sketch of Gov Hill, and may
be expected to give in the August num-
Der character sketch of Mr.. Grover
Cleveland.

If Gladestone wins a majority in the

he will owe his success in no small
degree to the infamous methods of at
