When you seek favor, apply yourself to

A VOICE from Ohio ought to encourage
the democratic tariff makers to hurry
along the good work. A special election
was held yesterday in the third Ohio con-
gressional district to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Congressman
Houk. Paul ]. Sorg. democrat was
elected over E G. Rathbone, republican,
by about 5000 majority. Middletown.
strongly republican. gave him 4O8 plural
Ity; Hamilton. Ex-Governor Campbell's
home. carried by the republicans at the
last municipal election. gave him 1888
plurality. and Dayton, carried by McKin-
ley by sos votes last fall, went democratic
by 1913. The only considerable influence
on the election outside of the tariff issue
Was that of the A. P. A. This was thrown
against Mr. Sorg. who is Catholic. so
that the victory of the tariff reform is
greater than appears in the returns.

The dandelion rises up
From the grass, it's golden shield,
And bright with these fair stars of earth
Are hill and dale and spreading field.
What wonder if the country lass
Forgets her errands, while her eyes
Drink in the beauty that beneath
The welcome springtime sunshine lies!
Yet not too long gaze thou, oh, maid,
In raptures on such joyous scenes,
But get that rusty knife to work
And dig for US the dinner green's.

That Half Dollar.

Hostetter McGinns is always hard up
for money and is cvcrlastingly trying to
borrow from his friends Colonel Yergcr
has lots of money, but he does not care to
lend much of it to Hostctter because his
memory is SO poor
Not long since Hostetter met Colonel
Ycrgor and said to him:
Colonel, can't you lend me half dollar
for a few minutes? want to assist my
landlady out of a tight place.
'I'm sorry, Mr.. McGinnis, but yesterday
let Kosciusko Jones have all my ready
cash; otherwise it would do me proud to
let you have the cash." replied Colonel
Yerger.
The next day Hostetter McGinnis made
another attempt to borrow half dollar
from Colonel Yerger, who was unable to
accommodate his friend, as he had just
paid his taxes.
The day after Hostettcr tried again and
would have got the money if Colonel Yer
ger had not just paid his pew rent. The
day following Colonel Yerger would have
acted favorably on McGinnis' petition had
not the former contributed on the day be-
fore all his ready cash to some charitable
purpose The next day Hostetter tried
again, and Colonel Yergcr would have let
him have the money, for there was nobody
he respected higher than he did HOstetter
McGinnis, but unfortunately Colonel Yer
gers pocket had been picked the day be-
fore, and he could not respond.
The next day Hostetter, meeting Colonel
Yerger, said to him in sarcastic tone of
voice:
II say, colonel, what did you do yester-
day with the half dollar you can't lend
me todayS''-Texas Siftings

AGAINST THE JOURNAL.
An Archbishop Has a Right to
Advise His Flock.

MONTREAL. Oct. 30-Judge Doherty
missed the Canada Revue case to-day.
The Revue began series of attacks on
the Catholic church. Archbishop Fabre
put the publication under the ban of the
church. and the Revue sued the Bishop
for $4,000. The Judge dismissed the case
on the ground that the Archbishop acted
within the bounds of his authority and
without malice, because it did not inter-
fere with the plaintiffs right of selliug the
paper TO whosoever wanted to read it.
Judge Doherty said that such a high
church diGnitary as Archbishop Fabre,
who is the spiritual adviser of many thou
sands of people, has perfect right to
warn persons under his spiritual charge
against pernicious literature, and also to
condemn so-called Catholic publications
which attack his church. The Judge said
the plaintiff may have suffered damages,
although as professed Catholic who pub
lished what was classed by his spiritual
superior as obscene or unorthodox be
would have no grounds for redress; there
fore, the cost of the suit was levied against
the plaintiff. An appeal to the Priyy
Council is threatened

PUBLIC EDUCATION.
commissioner Harris Gives Some
Facts on This Head.

FaCtS on mis- HEAD.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-The annual report
of DR.. w. t. Harris. Commissioner of Ed
ucation. says % per cent of the population
attends school during some period OF the
year. The average per cent of attendance
this year. however, is only eighty-seYen
days for each pupil. The report says:
st would seem to be the purpose of our
system to give in the elementary schools to
every child the ability TO read. After he
leaves school he is expected to continue
his education by reading the printed
pages of newspapers and books. The
great increase of public libraries in the
United States is significant of progress
toward the realization of this ideal. In
1892 we had over 4000 public libraries
with more than 1000 volumes in each. The
schools teach how to read, the libraries
furnish what to read. But far surprising
the libraries in aducative influence are the
daily newspapers and magazines. We are
governed by public opinion as ascertaned
and expressed by the newspapers to such
degree that our civilization is justly called
a newspaper civilization. The library and
the newspaper are our chief Instrumental
tiles for the continuation Of the school and
the university. The lecture courses. seen-
tifc and literary associations are assisting
largely. The work In the churches of the
land is an even more potent factor in

SHOT ON THE STAGE.
Arthur Meyer Is Murdered by a
Highwayman.
Indignant Citizens of Nevada CITY
Are on the Trail of the
Assassin.

NEVADA CITY, Oct. 30-Arthur Meyer,
one Of the proprietors of the North Bloom
field stage, was shot and instantly killed
by robber while on the down trip this
afternoon. The murder occurred three
miles above this city and within quarter
of mile. of where the highwaymen mur-
dered Banker Cummings of Moore's Flat
in 1879. Meyer was driving. and the only
passenger was c. II. Bovee of Sierra
County, Who was on the box with him.
Meyer stopped the four-horse team at the
first sight of the robber, who commanded
him to dismount. He refused. when the
robber lred twice with pistol. the Sec
ond shot passing through Meyers body.
Meyer fell dead in the boot on the reins,
preventing the horses from running off.
Bovse jumped from the stage at the
first shot and ran into the forest, three
bullets being sent after him.
The robber is not known to have stolen
anything. The dead stage-driver was
brought to his hotel here.
At O'Clock tonight the murderer of
Arthur Meyer is still at large and nothing
more is known of his identity than that
he was short stout man with a heavy
voice. Within half an hour after the
stage came tearing down Broad street at a
a runaway pace with the dead drivers

Arbogast, who was attracted from his
work in field near by by the shooting.
having hold of the reins, and Passenger
Bovee, who is an invalid, crouching
inside weak and speechleSs from the
awful ordeal he had gone through, scores
OF armed men started cut to hunt Cor the
criminal. They scat ered all through the
mountains and canyons and ransacked
every hiding-place for miles around. but
all they found was the ruffian's discarded
mask, made from an old coat-lining, and
his lunch. For more than a mile they fol-
lowed his tracks. BE was evidently
headed toward the higher mountain
ranges. Then every sign of him failed.
A number of determined citizens are
still out. and will stay all night in hopes
of finding the criminal. III they should by
chance run across him the expectation is
that he will be shot down like q dog.
Meyer was an Odd Fellow and Native
SON. His brother Natives of Hydraulic
Parlor have posted an offer Of $500 reward
for the assassin. The young widow and
two little children of the murdered man
excite the keenest sympathy among all
their townspeople. Meyer was a bright.
intelligent man, popular with all classes,
and noted for his strict integrity and
physical bravery.

PROFITS GREAT BRITAIN.
Some Figures Showing How the
Tariff Bill Works.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Further light is
shown upon the workings of the new tariff
act by United States Consul Morse at
Glasgow. In special report to the De-
partment of State he says: Large orders
are being received by merchants here
since the passing Of the United States
tariff bill. and many of them have ex-
pressed to me the opinion that the coming
year will witness an unprecedented trade
between Glasgow and the United States,
both Is to exports and IMPORTS. Every
indication points that way. The enact
ment and operation of the law has given a
new impetus to trade between Glasgow
and the United States, the most of August
and September showing a very perceptibie
increase in the num- Der of invoices and the
value of expectation as compared with the
preceding months. The status of exporta-
tons for the quarter ending June so, 1894.
was S703,674; for the quarter ending Sep
tember 80. 1894, it was $954,953. AS COM
pared with the same quarter of last year
there has been an increase OF $60.3O9 all
in the months of August and Septem Der. I"

were not high. The tug II. II. Buhne got
a line TO the vessel and tried to pull her
off, but the steamer did not respond. The
line was kept taut all last night and at
high tide to-day the tugs Buhne and
Ranger and the steamers National City
and Pf9nix gave pull at the imperiled
steamer She was moved half length,
bu the tide turned and slipped the haw-
sers. so no further a tempt was made to-
day. 1t is thought by some that she will
come of on high Tide tomorrow.
The Excelsior is aground where the
schooner Annie Gee went ashore several
years ago and stayed for almost two years
Finally she drifted into the channel and
was rescued, was repaired and is again
afioat Many predict that the Excelsior
will never come off of the sandbar, but
others say she is all right. In the pull of
yesterday she lost her rudder and broke
her propeller. The steamer Excelsior was
built by z. Mathews In this port only a
few years ago, and is considered very
fine vessel. She is owned by the Excelsior
Redwood ompany.
