Nice Political Strategy.


The silver men in Congress are more
hopeful at this date than have been at
any time since the struggle began.
The encouragement comes as muci.
from the fact the election laws have
been thrown into the contest as from
any othe. fact. It was the incident
most dreaded ny the Republican and
Democratic managers Of the administers
| ton force at both ends of The capitol.
Administration Democrats absenfed
themselves from the House to deprive
hat body of quorum, and the Re.
pablicans flbustered the election bill
out on the "no qnorumu proposition.
While this garre was going on, Willis
Sweet Of Idaho, and Charles S. Hart
man OF Montana, talked the situation
over and came to the conclusion that
thp best thing that could be done for
silver would be to give the struggling
Democracy quorum.
One week ago Tuesday, Mr.. Sweet
walked over to fuckers seat and asked,
"How many votes do you lack this
morning."
1.-TWO or three" said Tucker
'If we give you the votes, will yon|
send the elections bill over to the senate
in time to help our Senators QUIZ"
qneried Sweet.
"We will send it over in two weeks
said Tucker.
After consultation Sweet and Hart
man decided to vote, and on the next
call the Democrats had quorum.
But Sweet and Hartman alone had
the courage and sagacity to stand up to
the ordeal Others wanted to help; hut
could not muster the courage. And it |
required some nerve. To the criticisms
of their party associates, sometimes Bit
ter, these two men steadily replied:
The money Question is first with us,
and the silver question is the money |
question. If the gold men triumph |
now, it will be fearful setback to our
canse. Anything We can do to toss this
6rebrand into the senate we stand |
ready to do.n And they did. Three |
times these two fearless Representatives
kindled the fire that is now burning
a fire that will consume he repeal bill
inside of three weeks.
All in all, it was one of The incest I
pieces of political strategy ever planned
and worked in Congress by only two
men. Their constituents ought to APP
preciate their skill and courage. Ma

HITS AND MISSES.

GIVING advice is very cheap charity.
POVERTY and love are mismatched

A little girl up on the west side was
to give a splendid birthday party one
day last month, but the day and the
presents arrived and found her in bed,
paralyzed with rheumatism. She is on
ly I, and her parents and even the
family doctor thought it remarkable
and uncalled for malady. But the care.
fully guarded only child suffered as ter
ribly as the most neglected little mortal
who had spent cold nights in the streets
and had invited the awful disease in
every way. Finally doctor was called
in, who, among other things, knows
thing or two about inhammatory rheu-
matism. He shifted at the array Of lin
iments, pronounced them harmless
and prescribed lemon juice-lemon juice
pure and simple--a wineglassful every
morning. The little girl is now well

The Ipt,uenO. Of Mind on Mind.

That the influence Of mind on mind is
ordinarily imperceptible does not prove
that it can not be universal. These are
well ascertained material influences which
are Of universal operation, yet too feeble to
be felt; and in some cases these, even if
more powerful, would still be ordinarily
unfelt because they act in many directions
at once and tend, therefore, to neutralize
one another,
That matter has weight has always been
known, but never till within the last few
centuries could it have been suspected that
gravitation being universal, every human
body must exert an influence upon-for it
has an attraction for--every other human
body, however distant--an influence which
would in certain cases be felt il the mass o.
the earth and the inertia of matter wert
very greatly less than they are.-Black

Renting Ball Dresses.

There are stores in the city where even
ing dresses are rented, They are made
up handsomely. with the skirt all fin
ished except the waistband, and with
the waist itself basted together instead
of stitched. The woman who desires to
rent the costume can have tn waist
fitted. 1t is fitted and prepared for her
in way that does not preclude the pos
sibilty of its becoming re6tted for others
for other occasions. She rents it for the
evening, paying $40 Or SIS. returns it in
the morning with the consciousness that
she looked at the ball just as well as her
millionaire neighbor.
1t is rather a severe thing to assert,
but these trades people do not hesitate to
say that men are responsible for the
starting in of this custom of renting fin
cry. They say that wives caught the
idea from their husbands, who make
practice of renting dress suits instead OF
owning them. Everybody knows that it
is quite common thing for man to hire
dress suit for the one Or two times Q
year when some occasion demands Of
him this respect to conventionality, yet
suppose this same man would be the first
to condemn this folly in his wife--if he
knew it.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A certain set of philosophers, incapable
of feeling affection for any one but them
selves, has delighted in sneering at love
and marriage, and has argued that bach
elorhood is the only conservative state.
But their theory is not borne out by the
statistics of married and single life in
modern times, so far at least as the mas
culine gender is concerned II longevity
is desirable, then It is better that we should
marry than remain bachelors; for 1t ap
pears that at every age, from twenty tt
eighty-tive, the death rate of the Benedicts
is very much smaller than that OF theil
minated brethren.

scarcely worth considering, and success in
that field Is proof of no common talents
In 1870 he entered the law office Of J. W.
Scudder, IN eminent railroad attorney, and
in the intervals Of study and office work con-
tributed TO the local press. In 1874 he was
admitted to the bar and soon acquired a good
practice. His liberal treatment OF poor eli
ents made him popular, and he soon be-
came power in local politics. In 1881 he
was elected assemblyman. In 1882 he was
elected to congress and was three times re-
elected, but in 1890 there was bad break
In his political arrangements.
He had married a Virginia lady and fallen
into the habit of passing much of his vaca-
ton time in that state. He had invested
largely there and had talked of making his
home at Lynchburg. The cry was raised
that he was practically citizen of Virginia,
and this, with other causes, led to his being
set aside by the convention. Edward Fran
cis Mcdonald was nominated by the Demo
crafts and the district gave him its usual
majority Of 5000 or 30. Mr., McAdoo had
received plurality somewhat higher.

school with him have been his warmest

compliment to his style of speaking is con-

can understand it."

That birds use sounds as an interchange
of ideas is well known; visit to the hen
yard will soon demonstrate this. Long
cling about the hills, the shrill cry Of the
cock is heard announcing the coming o;
the day, the loud challenge passing from
yard to yard, until every cock in the town
has responded When the sun rises and
the door Of the henhouse is opened, mark
the notes OF the birds The hens are sing
ing, 'cur-cur-curr-r." as they run or hurry
out into the pasture, but suddenly the
gallant cock spies grasshopper, and with
tail close to the ground and many sidewise
glances and pretended pecks he utters
"cluek, cluck, cluckl" rapidly repeated, at
which the hens stop singing and run in his
direction.
Now dark object appears in the sky.
Nearer it comes, and the watchful cock
he utter the "urk-a-dordle-dop' or "cut-
cut-cuti" Not at all The "cur-cur-cur-r-r"
of the hen ceases, and from the long, swell
| ing throat of the cock comes ''karre karre,n
with rising infection, or something very
like it, which says as plainly as possible,
Here's hawk; run to cover" and the
hens and chickens do run, understanding
the warning Immediately.
Now listen to the mother hen that is
leading her flock about, Note the ''cluck,
cluck, cluck," which she utters at near
intervals 1t is motherly song with no
especial significance, and the little ones do
not heed it. But suddenly the hen finds a
worm and calls out, "cut-cut-cut," in quick
succession, which the little fuzzy chicks
understand SO readily that they fairly
tumble over one another in their endeavors
to respond They know it is call to din
ner. Even the little chicks just out of the
shell do not mistake these calls, and pay
not the slightest attention to the "cut-cut-
ca-da-cut" that comes from the henhouse
where pullet is proudly announcing that
she has laid an egg. St Paul Dispatch.
