"As I was saying when you inter

Judge Clark Held one Term of Court
but That Was Enough.

I'm Mississippi there used to be a
county where it was almost impossible
to hold court. The lawless baclwoods
element would come into the county
seat and break it up" said Neil Car
uthers, a prominent attorney Of that
state. to a reporter. Judge Clarke
once went there to hold court The
first day he had a bucket of water
poured over him from chimney hole
in the roof. and several pistol shots
were fired in the courtroom, The next
day. as he opened court, he laid two
large pistols on the desk and at the
first sign of disturbance leveled the
pistol at the man and conducted him
to iaiI. After that there was no more
disturbance, and the better element of
the community We're anxious that he
should return the next term, but he
declined with a sentence that has
passed into a political proyerb in Mis-

gard my leaving it as an escape. -

Story Told in Pictures of the Suffer
ings of Besieged Indians.

"There is an interesting glen on
the Upper Illinois river which should
be better known" said c. r. Kingnam
of Peoria at the Laclede. ut Is near
La Sale, and is known as Deer Park.
1t is small amphi-theater shut in by
palisades. At its head is a small
stream which forms waterfall aud
then flows into the river. The pail
sades are of even greater interest than
the glen itself Here a small band Of
Indians were driven. and there being
no means Of escape the pass by which
they reached the place, they stoically
starved to death, leaving upon the
walls a history of their sutferings in
terms which no one has ever yet been
able to translate. The history is still
distinctly legible upon the rocks, in
which it was written with flint, the
characters being in the nature of pict-
ures rather than letters. They are
suggestive of tortures, but otherwise
the story of the starved Indians, which
they left for all future ages TO read.

water colors or decorated with paint ings of flowers, these little receptacles for bonbons are as dainty and gay as you please.
 Our illustration Is a three-cornered envelop-box, made with sufficient depth to hold the candy. It Is cut after the pattern shown in Fig. 1. The dotted lines indicate where the paper is folded, and the short ones where it is slit for the ribbon to pass through.
 Cut a pattern first of writing-paper, then laying that flat on your water color paper, mark the outline with the point of an ivory paper-knife, that no black lines may be on the box, as would be the case If pencil were used. Use a rule to keep the lines straight where the paper Is to be folded, still employing the paper-lxnife for marking, and with a sharp pen knife cut the slits exactly as shown in diagram. Cut out the box according to the outline and fold according to dotted lines.
 With the aid of the penknife blade pass the end of your ribbon through the two slits in the point of the flap, bring it up over the top and down the back to the bottom point; pass it through the slit in the point, pushing it on through those just opposite and bringing it out in front, draw it up the front and slip through the slits above. Leave about three inches at each end of the ribbon for tying. Make bowknot in the end of longer piece of ribbon, pass the other end through the two slits on one side of the box, drawing the bow up close to the lower slit; slip the ribbon again through the slits on the other side of

FEAR DEFEAT.
Tho Democracy Tn a Pickle Over the
 Tariff Situation.

Tariff situation.
 There may be something in this loud talk among democratic papers about an alleged corruption fund to defeat the Wilson bill which does not appear on the surface. It is apparent that there are democrats of high standing in their party who are not at all san guine about that measures prospects for enactment, and some of them would be glad to have chance to lay its defeat, if it should be defeated, to the use of money by the interests which the bill assails- Indications of hostility to certain provisions of the bill have been shown by democrats in different sections of the country, and if the bill should fail of passage it might be deemed expedient for the leaders of the party to attribute this to the corrupt use of money by the tariff barons" A change of five or six democratic votes in the senate would defeat the bill, and there have been reports that many of the party in that body are only lukewarm in their devotion to it.
 But it is hard to see how the dem ocrats can be benefited by laying the defeat of the bill to the use of money if defeat should come. It would be better, indeed, for the democrats to have the bill fail through honest oppo- sition to it in their party than through bribe-taking, for in the first case the party would be merely chargeable with lack of sagacity and practical states manship in being unable to frame a tariff bill which its members could unite on, while in the other case the party would be open to the imputation of insincerity and vena!ity. The coun- try knows that the democracy has a majority in both branches of congress, and if, in this contingency, the tariff measure which it has framed fails to pass the party will be put in an ex- ceedingly embarrassing position, and it cannot escape the condemnation which it will deserve in such situa- ton.
 The democratic party will find that it cannot dodge or evade this tariff sS ests with bribery or corruption in any form. The party has placed itself on record on this issue both by the de- livcrances of it's national conventions and by the policy which it has ad- vocated and the measures which it has framed. It will b, judged by the record which it has thus made even if the present bill fails of passage from any cause. Retreat from it's position would be cowardly and defeat through q surrender to corrupt influences would be dishonorable and contemptible. It has antagonized the republican party on the leading issue of national con cern, and the country wants to sec what policy it proposes as a reform tor the abuses or alleged abuses which it condemns. The democracy cannot re- tain power by pleading the baby act or by shiftlessness or trickery of any sort.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A DIPLOMATIC MYSTERY.
The Infamous Policy of Cleveland In the
 Hawaiian Affair.


 Hawaiian Affair.
 Owing to the sudden and inexplic- able silence of Mir. Cleveland and the state department, the American people are left entirely in the dark as to the situation at Honolulu. Save only for the vision conjured up by the pictur- esque diction of one of the Corwin's sailors who sung out over the rail: "Hades's a-poppin' down there," the civ llized world is destitute of Hawaiian knowledge. A general impression, fornded un nothing more substantial than the elusive ''they say"-that Min ister Willis has presented to President Dole demand that he step down and let Queen Lii step up is abroad in the land, and conjecture as to the effect of this diplomatic communication made to the government to which, in ap- parent amity, Willis was accredited, is naturally active.
 The net effect of the presidential pol icy of concealment will be to awaken very general suspicion that the admin istration has sustained a very serious
 
 the fact secret until it can prepare an explanation and a remodeled policy. There are many ways in which action in Honolulu might seriously infect the Cleveland following Perhaps the most disastrous thing would be the complete success of the Cleveland pol icy, for news of the reinstatemeht of ha Nf hA,. British favorites, the reinstatement in the line of succession of the half-breed princess with her British guardian, would be to many Americans tidings of crime. It is possible that the pol icy of restoration has not succeeded and that Minister Willis has been rurtly ordered to leave the islands an order which President Dole as the de facto head of an established govern Inent has entire right to issue. Or there is still the chance that the inter ference of Willis has led to fighting and that by the Quixotic appearance of Cleveland in the defense of an absurd and contelnptible monarchy an ordi- narily peaceful community has been
 
 limits of credibility that United States forces may have been employed under the orders of Clevelaud's envoy.
 Speculation upon these points is of course idle, but mere enumeration of the varying conjectures in the public mind shows how unwise is the admin istration's attitude of secrecy. In all probability the ruth, when it comes, will prove far less sensational than the conjectures. And concealment can be for brief time only. The government can anchor its revenue cutter far from land and prohibit communication with the shore, but the next steamer from Honolulu must bring full and trust worthy news It will tax the imagina- tion of Americans to believe that tho tidings now kept so dark secret aboard the cutter Corwin can add in the slightest degree to the stupidity and infamy of the Cleveland policy in dealing with Hawaii i-Chicago Times
