THE EVERLASTING "WHY."

It Is Answered by an old and Experi-
 enced Engineer.
 ''It makes me mad" said the old en- gineer to correspondent of the Car and Locomotive Builder, ito hear peO- pie ask why man don't do so and so when his engine strikes. 1t all comes like stroke of lightning. When we piled 'em up in the Whitesville cut and killed eight, year before last, 1 was sit ting in my window that night, looking ahead as careful as anyone could. We had started on the curve and she was going as fast as the wheels could turn, forty minutes behind time, and the deuce to pay if we didn't make it up by morning. Jimmy Hartsell was feeding Ger every minute.
 'I thought l saw glimmer of light on the bank ahead. It was the flash from the headlight around the other bend of the curve. Between the time I caught that flash and when I saw the headlight swing around the cut as big as tub it couldn't have been hun dredth part of a second. We were nose to nose before I realized-no, 1 don't think I realized-but put on the air with one yank, yelled to Jimmy, and fell out of the window. was cut all up. The wreck was on fire and people were hollerin' underneath. 1 laid there feelin' of myself, expectin' every minute to find soft place, but I was all right, and three days after I went to Jimmy's funeral. After that I don't want any man to tell me what you ought to do."

Hn Could Svmnathize.

Mir. and Mrs. Fitts, of whom the h. dianapolis Journal tells a story, must be both of them philosophers, though in different ways. The other day they were out driving, and after an interval of silence Mrs. Fitts remarked:
 II wonder just what horse thinks when he is driven in this way. It must be very uncomfortable when he is driven here and there, without any idea what it is all for or where yC~l are going"
 II think I can appreciate his feel ings," said Mir. Fitts. Il imagine he feels just about as I do when you take me out on a shopping trip."

LEARNED BY ACCIDENT.
The Art of Lithography First Learned by
 a Theater Attache in Munich.

One of the greatest discoveries ever made was the result of the purest ac- cident. It was in the year 1796. The citizens of Munich had just witnessed the first triumphant performance of Mozart's opera, Don Juan," and the theater was deserted by all save one man, Alois Sennefelder, who, after making a round of inspection in the building,to see that no sparks had ig- nited anything combustible, retired to his room to stamp the tickets of ad- mission for the day following. When he entered his apartments he had three things in his hand-a polished whet- stone, which he had purchased for sharpening razors: ticket stamp, still moistened with printing ink, and a check on the treasurer of the theater for his weekly salary. As he placed the latter upon the table, a gust of wind swept it high up in his room, and then deposited it in basin filled with water. Sennefelder dried the wet paper as we'll as he could and then weighted it down with the whetStone, upon which he had before carelessly placed the printing stamp. when he returned to his room the following morning he was astonished at seeing the letters printed with remarkable accuracy upon the dampened paper. A thought came to him. He wondered whether. by some such means, he could not simplify his work of continually copying the songs of the chorus. He went out and purchased a large stone
 commenced making experiments, and
 as we all know, discovered the art o. printing from s.one-lithograPhy.

THE character of the men who sell
their votes is we'll set forth by the IN
genuous Mr.. Burgard. the Kansas Pop
ulist, in his account of himself. He
promised for $1,000 to secure two of his
companions and to remain away from
the Legislature with them while the
vote for United States Senator was be-
ing taken. "Of course" added he, 81
intended TO stay inside and vote for
Martin right through, and so did the
other two" AS rule, the man who is
willing to take money for his vote Is
also liar and not to be depended on in
any respect. but it is not common TO find
one who will confess his rascality SD
frankly. Kansas Popuiists are. by their
own confession, even worse than they
were painted.

THE ADMINISTRATION TARIFF BILL.

The Chicago Herald, which is one of
the most strenuous advocates of free
trade, in recent article upon the sub
ject said
1t is understood that the forthcoming
administration tariff bill will provide for
the banishment of specific duties and the
return To q strictly revenue schedule or ad
yal0rem rates. Not only will tariff taxa
tiOn be materially reduced. but the re-
naming burdens will be so distri buredthat
the rich will bear more of their share.
III the administration desires to adopt
policy which will encourage dishonest
importers and make a variable revenue,
it can find no surer method than to
change from the present system of
duties, which are, as far as possible, i'm
posed on the article rather than being a
percentage of It's value. The treasury
has lost large amounts of money by
reason of the ad cdlOrem feature of
previous tariffs. and ali Republican re-
visions have eliminated, as far AS pos
sible, the strict al Ualorem duty. When
the duty is laid upon the value of the
article the invoices of the exporter
must to large extent control
the appraisal of the merchandise. There
can be no system so free from fraud as
that which places a given duty upon
given quality of goods. This is done in
the British tariff, whererevenuei is the OBJ
ject. So it will be in the new tariff.
Therefore, it will be found that dd
ralOrem duties will be provided for those
manufactured goods which come into
competition with those made in this
country. The ad UalOrem proposition is
that of Mr.. Shearman and others who
represent the importers.
What the Herald says about distrib-
uting the duties SO that "the rich will
bear more of their share" is bit of alb
surd demagogy. The duties imposed BY
the Mckinley law are lower upon the
common grades of goods, for the most
part, than in the previous law. The
duties were increased mainly upon the
finer grade goods which are consumed
by the rich. Nine-tenths of the fabrics
coming into the country under the pres
ent tariff are purchased by people who
are called rich. 1t is time to drop this
sort of demagogy

SHANKLIN GIVES 1T UP.
He Can't Explain Recent Appointments, but
Holds tho President Responsible.

He Can't Explain Recent Appointments, but
Holds tho President Responsible.
Evansville Courier. Yesterday.
We are receiving many letters from every
part of the State asking for some explana-
tIon of the federal appointments that have
been made mp to date. TO say that all Of
them were unexpected is not overstating
the feeling OF the large maj Ority OF Indiana
Democrats. To say that they have been
received with disapprOval and regret is
equally true. But the Courier has no the
DRY TO advance which has not already been
published. The appointment of Governor
Gray was undoubtedly made to redeem q
pledge given by Mr.. Whitney at Chicago,
which the President felt himself under OBJ
legations TO make good. The appointment
OF Mr.. Burke and Mr. Hawkins were at the
request of Senator Voorhees,, whose prefer
enoes for them were founded upon personal
favoritlsrn. All of the appointments thus
far announced were bitter opponents of
Mr.. Clevelands nomination. and made no
secret of the fact.
lt is idie to urge that the President has
been misled in making these appointments.
He certainly knew that Governor Gray op-
posed his nomination, for lt was q matter
of public notorlety and newspaper COM
ment year ago. He was alsO doubtless
informed of the attitude that Messrs. Burke
and Hawkins occupied toward him prevl-
Gus to the Chicago convention. OF course.
he knew that MIR. Voorhees, was placed at
the head Of the Indiana delegation to fight
his nomination If the conditions seemed TO
indicate that such y course would result
successfully.
With all these facts before us 1t is impos-
eibie TO discern the meaning of these ap-
pointments at present. Later on light may
be shed upon them that will make every
thing clear. At all events. it Is fair to as
sumo that the President Is doing what he
thinks ia for the best however mistaken
we IN Indiana may know him to be.
