The Robber Gave Him Car ra,,.

A well known physician tells this story
Of his experience with a hishwayman in s
dark corner of the city not long sso. He
was returning from call on one OF his
patients down town late at night Just as
he arrived AZ q particularly dark snd lone
some place a burly ruffian stepped from
behind the corner Of building and greeted
the doctor with:
''Giye me all the money you've got, and
do it quick toor' and the fellow sig,aili-
cantly swung a heavy club which he held
in his hand
The doctor is an active me- Ner of one II
the big athletic clubs, and be somewhat
belligerent by nature his .irss thought
was TO resist the highway M demand
He looked the man over quic :, however.
and his first resolution wave ,d when he
! saw the fellows giant proportions. Then
| he hurriedly looked up and down the
street. Not soul was in sight The
street lamps on two corners had been put
! out, and he plainly saw that the ruffiaIl
/ had laid has plans well. The man watched
/ the doctor making his observations. and
4 after he had finished he said again sheer
ingly;
well, you better give it up, and do L
/ blanked quick too.'
The doctor decided that the cheapest wa7
| out of the scrape would be to give up his
money, so he reached in his pocke5 ana
4 handed the highwayman r.. Gu.
/ tanning about twenty dollars Inc hi.
4 waynan took it and coolly walked away,
and the physician started on his way home
/ again. After he had gone a few steps he
/ suddenly remembered that he did not have
a cent with which 10 pay his car fare. and
1 his home was four or five miles away.
! Hello, therei" he called 10 the retreat
/ ing figure.
! Strange to say, the robber stopped and
! the doctor told him the position in which
! he was. The highwaymap reached in his
| pocket, and pulling OUT half dollar, he
/ threw it TO his victim.
Il guess that'n do you," he said, rs he
4 went on his way, and the doctor continued
on his way home, meditating that even
/ highwaymen have at least grain Of con-
/ sideration for the feelings of other people.

To those Democrats who appear to
find so much delight in the remarks Of a
few Republicans who were disappointed
in the nominations of the Minneapolis
convention, said remarks being dropped
under the impulse of the moment, we
would suggest that it might be well TO
withhold exulting comments until after
the Chicago event Of next week. If
there are no gaping wounds left by that
meet, then signs are without significance.
The Democracy may count itself lucky
beyond precedent if that party supports
its nominees as cheerfully as Will the Re-
publicans theirs.

The Republicans drew the lines at
Minneapolis. By them it will stand or
fall. The party is for silver on an agreed
worlds standard. Goldberg Cleveland
and his party must come together on
the one thing or the other The dollar

Wall street may howl, bus the west and
south are determined. A dollar should
not, must not, have any more value on

Under the operations of the reciprocity
clause of the tariff law the United States
already enjoys monopoly, practically,
of the trade with Cuba. Not only is our
exports OF food products thither more
than double, but the island now depends
upon US mainly for its coal supplies. In
point of fact the foreign trade OF the
country is growing in all directions
more rapidly now than at any previous
time, in view of which facts it is no
wonder the majority party in congress
should hesitate in the performance of its
pledges to reform the tariff"

Harrison has taken the first decisive

Harrison has taken the first decisive
step looking to the recognition of silver
as money on parity with gold. The
Chicago convention must meet this
silver question either in its platform or
in its candidate. Harrison is for silver,
desiring only that the financial world
shall adopt some equitable basis, to
which end he has gained the consent of
several countries already. America
having a greater number of mines, in
fact more silver than any other country,
will not be technical nor unreasonable
when it comes to fixing its standard OF
value for free coinage.

Boies Of Iowa has a literary
bureau in full blast, and it is
flooding the country with campaign
literature in the interest of the
governors candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for president. The chances
are that the Iowan will be given second
place on the ticket, but the ''some good
western man" idea will not materialize
as to the head of the ticket That's set
tied. The hope for RoieS is that he will
swing Iowa into the Democratic rut, but
the attempt to do this would cost the
party the votes of Indiana, without
which they can't succeed.

Christianity and Chris tianity.


In The matter of theology England dis
tances Us. The religious thinkers of
England have left away IN the back
ground that selfish idea OF certain Amer
lean theologians-that the purpose OF
the Christian is to save his own soul
simply; that the church is a spiritual
emigration society TO get men To aban-
don earth and pack up their possessions
in readiness for heaven-and that ethical
Christianity, civic Christianity, social
Christianity, the idea that We are all
brothers, and that we all have duties 10
society and to the state, has got posses
sion of all hearts.

If anybody supposed that ex-Secretary
Blaine would suik in his tent during the
pending campaign, such one did not
know the Maine statesman. Hear him
in regard to the action OF the Minneapolis
conventions: "The resolution, energy
and persistence which marked the pro-
ceedings of the convention at Mime
apolis, will, if turned against the COM
mon foe, win the election IN November
All minor differences should be merged
in the duty of every Republican to do all
IN his power to elect the ticket nomi-

A Georgia physician writes to an At
lanta paper that the solution used in
the hand grenades now offered so extern
sively for sale, is easily and cheaply
made by taking 20 pounds of common
salt, 10pounds of sal ammoniac (muriate
of ammonia, to be had of any druggist
and dissolving in seven gallons of water.
When dissolved it can be bottled and
kept in each room in the house. In case
of fire one or two bottles should be
thrown with force into the burning
place, hard enough to break them, and
the fire Will certainly be extlnguished.

Brother Sam Jones wall cause his

the boss of the internal regions As some
thing of compliment, as he may have
meant it; but in any event 1t was a
pretty good guess.

FEAR AND DISGUST.

The following, from Kansas cores
pendent to the indianapolis Non Con-
formist, portrays both fear and disgust;
the former over the probable result of
the coming election, and the latter over
the causes conspiring to produce it:
ut seems 10 me that hell has broke
loose and we are without a leader. am
disguised and discouraged. In
my opinion there has to be a Moses rise
up and stretch his hands over the
troubled waves Of Kansas or she Is lost
to the Peoples party this fall. l have
seen something about mans inhumanity
to man and heard countless millions
mourn but the blanket selfshness in
Peoples party members seems to be
dragging US into the vortex of
perdition and none to say Peace, be
still you snarling ours I have found
consolation in the fact that what is to
be will be and all the powers connOt
thwart the inevitable end. The Peoples
party is blessed with more candidates
for office than there are candidates for
Heaven and to me it seems true that
not one in the whole lot has character
enough of his own to succeed on. but
must wreck some brothers to whoop
himself in. When at Funston's renomi-
mating convention George T. Anthony
said, Let the Democratic and Peoples
parties fuse or do what they may, we'll
carry Kansas this fall any way they can
put it up" do not like to write it, but
it does seem the old scoundrel told the
truth"

"Why," said Mrs. Annie Shaw,
there's Old Abe, the bald eagle-the
men named him Abe-they say he
stretches his wings; he docs this and
he does that. He was carried through
the war and then taken the centennial.
He was pointed out to the youth of the
land as the emblem of liberty. The
truth is, after Old Abe was taken to
Madison, Wis, he got tired of doing
nothing and went to laying eggs"
