y REGION OF MIRAGE.

From the Hartford Times.
The region about Buffalo. and for a
good many miles east of that city,
seems to be a favorable one for seeing
the more distinct and remarkable eff
fects of that optical illusion known as
the mirage. A surprisingly distinct
one was seen between nine and ten
o'clock one morning recently by the
people of Buffalo. Like previous one
seen 4 dozen miles or more east of Buff
falo. some years ago, the spectacle was
at the north. The one seen from the
cars showed Lake Ontario, with all its
eapes, and other shore features. includ-

tinctness in the sky. although the
real lake at its nearest shore was
thirty or forty miles away and wholly

other day was the entire city of Toron-

Second: We adhere to the Republican
doctrine of protection. and believe that tarln

Third: The American people favor d.

tion as will secure the maintenance OF the
parity of w lues of the two metals, ana that
the purchasing and debt paying power OF the
dollar whether of gold. silver or paper, shall
be at all times equal. The interests OF the
producers of the country, its farmers and It's
working men, demand that the mines be Open
ed TO the coinage of the silver OF the mine
of the United States, and that congress should
enact law levying a tax on importatiOns of
foreign silver sufficient to lully protect Tie
products of our own mines.
Fourth: We favor national ard state legis-

Fifth: We denounce the present state adj
minisfratiOn for IT'S violation of the laws and
tempt of the courts. the corruption and

management OF the state Institutions, and
for the discredit it has brought upon the

charge of all official duties and to strict
observance and an honest enforcement OF the
laws and to obedience to the mandates OF the

OUR DELAPlDATED LEGEND.

Something is wrong. Things for many
months have been awry, but the mos
pessimistic did not expect that the worst
would happen. But it did.
Our old Indian legend has been swiped
between the eyes. Nothing is more
cruel than the realization that divine
favor has at last been yanked from us.
Nothing cushions contentment like the
fact that we are living and breathing
and being protected by good old Indian
legend. That is the way the people of
Wichita have been feeling for years.
While the Kansas tornado has been trim
ping gaily over the Kansas prairies. tang
ling the air, tying railroad tracks into
knots and gently walloping the corporate
existence out of surrounding towns.
the Wichita man has been in the habit
OF drawing the draperies of his couch
about him and lying down to pleasant
dreams, serene and composed in a sub
lime confidence in the efficacy of the old
legend, invented by Chief Pugamug.
that tornadoes never did and never could
visit the conjunction of the Big and Lit
lie Arkansas rivers.
Chief Pugamug was a faker. The
cyclone has visited the conjunction of
the two streams, not of water, but of
sand, and has larruped things about
with great nonchalance. The dav of
security in Wichita is over. The day of
unrest and doubt of exclusive exemption
from gnarled atmosphere has supplanted
it.
The Wichita man no longer can soothe
his mind with the Pugamug story when
the wind Is trying to blow the paint off
his house. He has bought thermome-
ter, and barometer and an Aermeter
and has hung them on the bottom OF
the bed, and when the gentle zephyr
gets too fractions. lie puts aside the old
Indian legend with groan and gets out
chart and goes to work on his ometers,
figures on a low area with high
stationary temperature, comes to the
conclusion that it is about time to take
fresh grip on his mortal coil and scoots
ignobiy for the cyclone cellar.
~ - wv bau, Out 1t IS true. LIT is
fact that the tornado which spun around
on the North Side Monday evening was
a small affair. IL may not have known
about the Indian legend and tried to
leave town gracefully when it discov-
cred Chief Pugamug's claim of exemp-
ton.
But the tornado dill begin active
operations on the ground and that is evil
dence against the legend.
With our economical knowledge
twisted out of shape and our Judiciary
with new and conflicting
and automatic truth Of his
tory tottering, as they are in this
country, what can we have faith in
when our Indian legend is taken from
us:
