ATTORNEY TERRY coRNeRED.

Councilman John Fitzpatrick Points Out How the Traction Company May Make Money.
 Councilman John Fitzpatrick and George E. Terry, attorney for the Wa terbury Traction Go, happened to meet in the mayors office yesterday after noon and indulged in an animated dis cussion with regard to the petition of the company for permission to use the trolley system.
 "What were the gross receipts of the
 horse railroad last year" queried Mir
 fitzpatrick.
 Nearly $6O, ,O0O," was the reply.
 And the expenses
 About the same." This admission made Councilman Fitzpatrick smile. He remembered a conversation that he had with Mir Young of the Traction company and the officials of the Springfield company, when it was stated that the cost of run ming the cars could be reduced about one-half by the use of the trolley sys- tenn. Attorney Terry was reminded of this fact.
 "In five years," said Mir Fitzpatrick, ''by the use of the trolley device, your company will make a profit of $50, ,000.
 Is it too much for the city to ask tax
 of $1 200 year, for such privilege But you must remember" replied the attorney, ''that it will cost us $la5, 900 to equip our lines for electricity" And even so, ID five years you will be free from debt and have a cash
 balance of $25, ,0O0," was the answer. "The conditions which the city impose are not to take effect until 1900, giving the Traction company ample opportu- nifty to get on a paying basis" Attorney Terry was fairly cornered and explained that the outside capital ists would not furnish the money neces- sary to do the work under the condi- tions imposed by the city. He in- timated that the action of the council
 was illegal anyway.
 Mayor Webster, who was present, thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and occasionally offered 8 suggestion. He
 thought that if the profits of the com-
 pany were shared with the city after an
 annual dividend of five per cent had
 been declared it would be an equitable arrangement.
 Councilman Fitzpatrick was not en- tirely satisfied with such 8 plan, as it opened the way to sharp practices. Under such an arrangement it would be
 possible for the company to absorb all
 of the profits over five per cent by high
 salaried officers, etc. This ended the discussion,

A TOUGH CROOK.
His Story as Related to Missionary
Created Wrong Impression.

"My dear brother" faltered the city
missionary, with red WHISPERS and a
tremolo voice as he reached through the
prison bars and fondled the puzzled
faced youth, "my dear brother in God,
what untoward circumstance, what I'M
foreseen influence led thy erring foot
steps from the paths of rectitude ?'
"Once more, Petite"
Again the missionary repeated his
question with even greater depth Of
feeling.
"Yer curves is too wide for me, podner
What's de graft, any how?"
"How came you in Jail? What have
you done to thus forfeit your liberty"
"Nawthin," replied the puzzle-faced
youth, as food of light broke in on
him. 81 didn't do nathin'; but I'll tell
you how 1t was. See? Bout six months
ago, in Portland, hooks up with gilly
from Frisco. He had sack, an braces
me for game of poker. See? I'm pref
ty flip wild de pasteboards myself but /
sees dere wuz tapioca in sight an didn't
want to queer the mark. SeeP
$50 touches de wires to chum of
mine in Salem. He's dead smooth
duck-a foxey bloke with crockery
glim. tells him to come on an help
me peel de pelt off a jasper from de Sout.
See? Well, we sits in game wild de
Frisco mug and pulls his leg for $400
Den he maces me for round wild de
dice. Go'tel, seq /, does we mean biz?
Oats what, SEE he. Trot oaut your basalt
blocks, SEE |. See?
swell, skins him fer hundred cases
und de bones, but de jay was dead game,
an wanted to bowl me fer fifty. takes
him up an makes KILN OF eighty
plunks on Hogan's alley. Den he quits
an ducks his nut. See? He didn't let
on dad he wuz sore or nothin', an bout
six weeks later he sends me letter, tell
ing me could make winnin' in Frisco.
Tings is comm me wav, / thinks so /
lines me clothes wild velvet an goes to
Frisco. seer
"De mug meets me at de ferry, trows
few geezers into me, steers me agin'
brace game an sinks me wad. Had to
soak me spark to eat on. Den de mug
gives me de horse laugh low down, puts
de gang on, an I've been skatin' on me
uppers ever since. See? Last night /
was pinched fer a vag an expect to get it
in de neck today, but you can bet yer
feet I'll play even. See? And the puz-
zle-faced youth scrowled ferociously.
At first the missionary listened with an
expression of panied establishment not
unmixed with awe. Bewilderment fol-
owered; then look OF compassion
changing TO righteous indignation as the
youth rounded off his tale of woe. Then
the missionary hunted up an Examiner
man and said it was downright shame
to pen up an insane man with criminals.
He was going to see the authorities
about it himself.-San Francisco Exam

What Makes The Money TROUBLED

Here and there over this state we find
little whippersnapper newspapers, most
ly republican, though occasionally a
democratic sheet joins in the hue and
cry, charging that the present depress-
ion in business circles is due to the adj
ministration of President Cleveland.
The charge is almost too absurd for SER
ious refutation. Where born of preju-
dice the author needs the stuffed club Of
common sense. Where the creature of
ignorance he should take course in the
primary department of political econ
omy school and study the constitution a
week.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration has
nothing to do with the disaster in mon
etary matters. No law has been passed
since he went into Office, the execution
of none has been suspended. Congress,
which alone passes financial measures
and all other laws, has not even been in
session. Mr.. Cleveland as president has
simply enforced the statutes he found
enacted by the previous congresses. He
has acted as Mr.. Harrison would have
done in similar position, as any pres
ident who could not make or unmake
laws must do. II the financial stress is
due to bad legislation it is legacy from
the last administration. Mr.. Cleveland
and the democratic party have had moth
ing to do with bringing it about.
The truth is this crisis is due to the
lack OF sufficient circulating medium in
this country, to the deceptive Sherman
law and to the unpatriotic and criminal
behavior OF Wall street brokers. 1t
only needs more money and more conf
dence to restore tranquility. COLUMBIA

The Newspaper Profession.

The legitimate, clean and honest news
paper has become as necessary to the
daily demand of civilization as is the
physician, the lawyer or the preacher
The elevation of the press has been
steady and substantial through the years
of rapid progress, until its place is as
defined and as dignified as is that Of any
of the so-called professions.
Appropos of these reflections, some re-
marks by Bishop Spalding at the COM
mencement exercises of the Kentucky
School OF Medicine at Louisville, are
suggestive. Speaking of the professions,
he classed them as five the ministry,
medicine, law, teaching and journalism.
"The newspaper" he said, sis the
growing fifth profession. 1t is true it
has thousand evils, but is it the fault
OF the newspaper? 1t deals in murder,
suicides and the like, not because it
seeks to spread them before the people,
but because the people want such. The
editor, with his million-eyed reporter, is
fast briging the newspaper into the pro-
LESSONS.
"The newspapers print the adyertis-
ments of great many quack doctors,
not because they wish the people to buy
their nostrums, but to get revenue, on
which paper exists. They get the
revenue and kill the people. This is
probably done on the principle that
those who are fit to survive will not
take the nostrums, and that those who
do take them are not fit to survive"
There is much of sound sense and
logic in this utterance of the eminent
speaker.-Covington Commonwealth.

Hicks Talks of the Weather.

Rev. Iri b. Hicks, the famous weather
prophet, talked on the weather at Bunce-
ton recently. A correspondent of the
Pilot Grove Herald said of his talk:
In regard to cyclones the doctor, says
pressure out from the earth, hardly any
air, low pressure and low barometer, and
that when storm comes up with an
easterly wind and suddenly changes to a
southernly direction, the chances are
that there will be cyclone in a very
few minutes some place and very hard
storm where you are. He also warns
especially to watch any storm develop
ments between the hours of 2 and p.
m. as they are generally the most severe
and destructive. So have your caves
ready and do not be like some people
who say when big storm is raging, Oh,
well, trust in the Lord. That is all we'll
enough but take into consideration the
fact that in summer il we did not lay up
anything or fix our houses warm but
trust in the Lord, how would we come
out when winter came? The best way
to make cyclone house that you will
not be bothered with water is to take
some timbers about feet long, 8 inches
in diameter, set them in the ground
obout five or six feet one alongside the
other until you have room as large as
you desire. This will leave five or six
feet out of the ground. Then spike
some heavy pieces across the top strong
ly and as firmly as you can possibly
make it, Then make your door of 4x6
bolted together wife bolts and cross
irons, have heavy hinges and to open in
side. After you have gone inside close
the door and have about three heavy
irons which you can fasten singly at bot
tom, middle and top, and this will Sc
cure you from any storm and you can
finish the outside by weatherboarding
and roofing, fixing up as neat as you
please and really an ornament to your
yard, and you will always have plenty OF
things in there and indeed so much that
sometimes when you wish to secure
yourself from storm you may find it
difficult to get in yourself.

was drowned. There were many such
acts of heroism, self.forgetfulness and
daring. The peril of those in the water
was increased by the fact that the sea
hereabouts is infested with sharks.
1t is the duty of the marines when
collision occurs to Immediately go below
and close all water tight compartments.
When the Camperdown struck the Vic
toria the marines went below for their
duty, and, as a result, out of 100 marines
on the Victoria, ninety-nine were lost.

THE Democrats are too ready to
saddle the present financial
squeeze upon the Republicans. 1t
is true that the Republicans have
held posses sion of the government
for several years, and it is also true
that down to the last hour that
the Republicans were in power the
country was in a condition of I'M
exampled prosperity. What is it
then but distrust of the Democrat
ic policy as outlined in it's plat
form that has created this panic
and shut up gold, silver and cur
rency from circulation? Talk is
cheap, but it is distrust of Demo.
cratic Legislation on the industries
of the nation that has caused a
weakening of all the industrial
nerve Of the people and created
