A Friend of the Poor.

Senator PETER OF Kansas warmly
defends the rights of the poor and
unemployed of our country. In a
speech delivered on the Tariff bill,
April 18th he announced his in
tention of offering at the proper
time bill based on the principles
of taxing the articles of luxury,
while excepting those articles of
prime necessity, which are used by
the poor, whether manufactured
abroad or not. He would relieve
the poor of all taxes if he could,
and put the tax on the rich, so the
burden of tariff taxation would rest
chiefly on those who were able to
bear it.
He defended Coxey's army, and
outlined his plan for the ameliora.
ton of the condition of the people
He referred to the entrance into
Washington of the forty men who
went as advance guard of Coxey's
Army, and who were arrested with
out having committed single of
tense. "They had as much right,
said he "to come here as the presi
dent of the New York Central Rail
road Company, or any other citizen
/ would insist" continued the Sen
ator, "upon Congress passing bill
obliging the President to provide
employment for all the men anC
women in the country.

How to Test a Diamond.

One of the easiest and most
trustworthy modes of determining
whether supposed diamond is gen.
uine or false is as follows: Pierce a
hole in card with a needle or pin
and then look at it, using the stone
as c. lens. If the supposed diamond
is genuine you will see but one hole
if false, two will appear. With an
imitation stone you may also see
the lines on the skin of your finger
with the true gem you cannot.

Capital Notes.

Senator Morgan has presented to
the Senate his report on the Nj
caragua canal. The report says in
part:
IF action by Congress is delayed
unreasonably long the company
will be compelled to either abandon
the concessions and lose the money
they have already invested in the
canal or to accept the offers made
by the foreign capitalists. If either
of these results follow by the in
action of Congress, the people could
not censure the canal company for
yielding to fate they could have
avoided.
Carefully revised estimates Of
the cost of the canal and work con.
nected with it makes the total $87
100000 at the outside"
Senator Morgan says further that
the prosecution of work on the ca
nal would furnish employment tc
$4,000 Americans who are now
marching on the highways begging
for work and often for food.

Tho rran Who Tired CARLYLE.

There is story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
we'll in his broadcast Scotch. of young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyles mood had
ON single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, II would have you to
know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Cbristendom. The boredom had con-
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of ond'of Carlyle's dogmas, sin
all the moro heinous because, instead of
standing boldly up to Carlyle and de-
claring his doctrine utterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that no had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
SO much as that. OF course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way.-London Spectator.

And the Old Unreconstructed Confederate
Took Pains to Make Thorn Known.
Very many of tho early settlers of
Montana were natives Of Missouri, Ken
tucky, Arkansas and the border states
Of the war. They came by the Missouri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
majority at elections, when they held
the flag of Democracy to the masthead.
The result of this immigration was a
strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in 1878, when GEN
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit rs the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon, was just emerging frort
the garb of mining camp, but few
enterprising citizens with Ex-Governor
Hauser at the head determined to give
q fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
In stageoOach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On tho following afternoon a
banquet was given in the First National
bank, located then in the present gam.
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because tho town was remote from CIV
ilization. There was, however, plenty
of champagne, since that wine is usu-
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way Of food is left but
flour. The gathering was very demo-
cratic. Everybody in town was invited
to see "Little Phil, " though there was
much grumbling among the unrecon-
structed Confederates over the display
made for a Union general. There were
lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex-
road agents, many Of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among them
was one old time Confederate soldier,
who had turned his talents from the
chivalry of war to dealing "bank." He
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast, and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face
larkened and his eyes famed with an
ger as various toasts were given to the
United States, the president of the

Finally be could stand it no longer.
He arose with wineglass in one hand
and six shooter in the other, and in
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
Here's to all mankind, so that no
id fool will be overlooked.
With that he dashed the wineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter
into tho ceiling SO that the room was
filled with smoke. The guests reached
for their revolvers, but the gambler,
with look of contempt, returned his
"gun" to his pocket and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward said that
it was enc of the most dramatic and
suggestive scenes in all his experience
