During Mr.. Cevelands first administra-
ton, eX-Gov Porter Of Tennessee" " says the
Washington Star, was assistant secretary of
state, and Just about the time that the pres
sure for Office was greatest a friend of Por-
ter's came up here on private business
The visitor was a hide bound democrat who
always worked like a beaver for party sue
cess, and who had never been q candidate for
either an elective or an appointive Office. He
was man of excellent business attainments
and was blessed with wife and a large
family OF boys. When he had u ausacted the
business which called him here. Gov. Porter
asked him when he was going to return TO
Tennessee, aud was told thathis friend would
leave the next afternoon.
"'Wouldnt you like to meet President
governor.
Jim said he would right smart, so Porter
told him he make an engagement so the
President might be handshaken the next
morning. The governor went over to the
white house a little while later and told Cleve-
land that he wanted to bring friend over to
salute him.
Hes one of the best men in Tennessee.
Mr.. Presldent-a never-say die democrat and
he don want any Ot1ice,' said Porter. The
President beamed.
'''Yo GU don't mean it. Porter, he exclaimed;
you certainly can be in earnest. A demo
crat who don't want place Bring him over
right away, if you can find him, but be sure
not to let him escape you5'
Porter assured the President that he had
spoken the truth ana proceeded to give Jim's
history to him. Next morning the pair went
to the white house. Jim never had such a
surprise in his life. The President seemed to
know all about him. and was as cordial as an
intimate. He slapped Jim on the back and
talked about his family and his fine boys and
closed the conversation by asking Jim to
drop in at the white house any time he hap
pened TO be in Washington.
Break bread with me some time when
you get up this way was the Presidents
parting remark, and Jim left the white house
like a man in a dream. When Gov. Porter
asked him how he liked Cleveland. Jim was
willing to thrash any one of his critics and
Swore he had never met such cordial and
approachable man. Pretty soon the hotel
was reached where Jim was stopping, and
Gov. Porter held out his hand.
Wen, Jim. old fellow. he said 1 reckon

afternoon. so III say good bye.

said jim.

A Mistaken Policy.

/ The policy Of trying TO placate the pop
ulists is a mistaken one. This policy has
. cropped out in congress, in state couven-
I tions, and is apparent in about all the
/ state campaigns. II is not confined 70
either OF the two great parties. Both OF
! them have tried, and are still trying, 70
/ curry favor with the populists.
I Many congressman, there is reason to
/ believe, voted for the seigniorage bill, not
/ because they thought il wise measure,
but because they hoped to strengthen
themselves with men of their respective
parties who either had gone to the popu-
list party, or were likely to do so. In
state democratic and republican
platforms there are concessions
10 silver which are not
approved by the great majority Of demo-
Gratis and republicans. These concessions
We're made With the hope of satisfying
those who are afflicted with the silver
craze. There are now candidates for
Office in this and many other states
who are expressing in their speeches
views on the silver question that are not
authorized by the platforms upon which
they were nominated If they are sin
cere in holding such views they are not
faithful to the platform declarations of
their respective parties, and if they are
not sincere they are making a great
mistake in thinking they are pursuing a
course that will strengthen them with
the voters.
In South Carolina Senator Butler, in
his campaign for the Senate, undertook
to r,1a 70
1t is now said that a great many of his
friends think he would have Jared better
if he had stood squarely on the national
democratic platform. BY the course he
pursued he alienated many of those who
would have espoused his cause warmly,
and he failed utterly in drawing from
Tillman any of the populist support
which the latter has.
Tillman will win the senatorship with
out much effort unless there should be de-
velopments which are not now expected.
There is much dissatisfaction in the dom
inant wing of the South Carolina democ-
racy, and sooner or later there will be a
revolt against Tillman's leadership. If
Senator Butler had stood squarely for
the administration and democratic princi-
pies he would be in a position to profit
by the revolt when it occurs. By
the policy he has pursued he has lost his
hold upon those who could help HIM
when the reaction takes place
There is nothing TO be gained by max
ing concessions to the populists. The way
to do with them is to oppose them
squarely. Their demands are not such
as to win the confidence of the people.
Those who have become populists must
be shown what the demands of the popu-
list party really mean and the dangers
that lurk in them. When that is done the
days of that party will be numbered 1t
is already losing ground and there will be
little of it at the next national election.

Cured His Collie.

few nights ago, on train coming east on
the Michigan Central road, the porter of a
sleeping car al oused half dozen Of the male
sleepers to ask if they had anything to cure
case of collie, says the De roit Free Press. A
drummer for city hardware house fumbled
around in his coat. and finally said:
Here's a box of soda mintS which NAV
help him. He can use the whole box and be
hanged to him, for he no business to have
collie"
Nothing further was heard Of the case until
morning when strapping young man, with
a far-west look to his hair came into the
sleeper with the mint box in his hand and in
quired for the drummer. and said:
Took EN- all but one and they smashed
my collie right in the eye. How much to paw"
Nothing, sir. I'm too glad to have been of
service to you
When the other had gone the drummer
opened the box and we saw his hair trying to
climb up.
Great Scott, boys, but what do you think"
he gasped
What is it,"
Il gave him the wrong box. and he's swal.

There were 5000 bills introduced in
congress during the session that will end
to-day. Just how many of them got
through the mill will not be known for a
day or two, until the clerks take an in,
ventory. But it will afford some consola.
tion to a law-ridden people to know that
only l,50O Of the bills ever got as far as
the committees. OF the other $500 five
in six were never even considered. They
were dumped into the hopper and never
heard from again There may be world
Of doubt as to whether the 1900 or so
laws that have been enacted were needed
by the people 1t is pretty safe to say
that not more than 200 of them will ever
amount TO anything, except in individual
cases, probably. Congress and the state
legislatures are always too active in en-
acting laws that burden uselessly the
already overloaded statute books. II
some means of checking the tendency 10
excessive legislation could be found, it
would be appreciated by the people who
have to pay for legislators vagaries--the
Taxpayers.

The New Tariff.

The new tariff bill has become a law
without the Presidents signature. The
iniquitous Mckinley tariff is a thing Of
the past.
The new tariff is not as much of a re
form tariff as the President and the Dem
ocratic party desired. The purpose Of
the President and the party was defeated
by about a half dozen democratic seha-
tors. who are protectionists. They would
have defeated all tariff legislation if they
had not been permitted to have their
way. They were in a position to dictate
terms, and the party had 10 yield 70 them.
The new tariff, however. is vast i'm
provement upon the Mckinley tariff.
There is no reason why the country
should not be extremely prosperous under
it. Manufacturers have no reason to com
plain of it, and farmers win be greatly
benefited by it.
The main causes Of the business and in
dustrial depression have now oeeu re
moved, and from this time on there ought
10 be a steady improvement in business
conditions Better times are expec ted,
and there is no good reason to believe
that the people will be disappointed
Business may not return at once to the
volume it had in the most prosperous
period, but there will be a steady I'M
provement until the hard times viii be
only memory.
The work of adjusting the country to
the new conditions has already begun.
1t will be some time before this work will
be completed. In the meantime. how
ever, the signs of increased business and
industrial activity will become apparent
in all parts Of the country.

The Chinese are not richer than the
Japanese. There are a great many more
Chinese than Japanese, and the aggre-
gated wealth of China is more than that
of Japan. But if a comparison of wealth
according to population could be made,
the probabilities are the japanese would
be found the richer people. At any rate
they are far more ready to give money
for public purposes than the Chinese. Only
a few days ago the government of China
failed to effect a domestic loan of 1,OOO,-

A novel suit is pending in Pennsylvania
against the Grand Lodge of the Order of
Railway Conductors. Some time ago
during the strike on the Lehigh Valley
road the members of several subordinate
lodges were ordered out by the grand
lodge. The subordinate lodges obeyed
the order. The members of at least one
of the lodges lost their places and 5000 in
wages because of the grand lodges order.
The subordinate lodge is now suing the
grand lodge to recover the sums lost by
the members who struck, If the court
should hold that grand bodies are re-
sponsible to members of subordinate bod
les for losses sustained through the obe-
dience of orders, sympathetic" strikes
would probably become fewer. Such a
principle of law applied to MIR. Debs' rail
way union would smash it forever.
