a Turkish Wedding.

An artistic mistress of the ceremonies,

In u small New England village there
lives man named jenkins Sandcrson,
whose enormous, unginly figure and for
bidding expression of countonanco seem
to belle his real gcntleness and good ma

and sometimes even of horror to strnn-
gers. His wife is IL thin, priln old lady,
the embodiment of ncatncss and exceed
ingly quiet in her manners. She has u
serene, placid face, which is not often
agitated by smiles and still more rarely
rutfled by frowns.
She was taking tea one summer after
noon with ncighbor who had new
summer boardcr, a lady of historical
tendencies, who boosted of the "oxtreme
sensitiveness of her nervous organiza-
ton. " Several other worthy danes, res
idents of tho village, were participants
in this mild fcstivity.
AS tho guests wore seated around the
table, the summer boarder CHANGED to
look out Of the window and saw Jon

politics he despised self-seeking, and
hence was seldom thought of as q

not possess the peculiar kind OF tall
ent that is essential to marked sue
cess under our modern business
system. His sterling honesty held
him aloof from all questionable and

was largely a labor Of love. He was

change for bonds at 5 per cent. they evil
IDENTIFY have such cinch on Mr.. Carlisle
that the bonds would be forthcoming.
This is a very dangerous power to be
vested in President ClevelRnd's secretary
Of the treasury. 1t virtually gives to
him more financial power than is pos
sessed by the queen OF England, the en-
peror Of the German empire and the
czsr Of all the Russlss.
1t makes Grover Cleveland, through
his man Carlisle, the dictator Of the
financial affairs Of nearly 100000 Of
American freemen. It is power with
out precedent in any free government
and contrary to the spirit of the Ameri-
can constitution. The American con-
gress alone has the power to pass laws
affecting the property and labor OF
American citizens. Congress alone can
create national debts or levy national
taxes.
Secretary Carlisle has assumed the
right to create national debt in time OF
profound peace, and it will be followed
by taxes upon the labor and products Of
the country to pay both principal and in
terest. 1t is q dangerous power, for it
enables an administration, known to be
in partnership with the gold conspirRtors
Of Eugland and New York, to burden
the people with war debts in time OF
peace. That this action of Mr.. Carlisle
is part of Mr.. Clevelsnd's scheme in the
demonstration Of silver, there is no
doubt. Mr.. Carlisle is simply the tool
Of the gold and stock gamblers, and his
bond scheme is their plot to create a
greater demand for gold and place q
fresh burden upon the shouldera Of the
people. Carlisle is the agent Of Grover
Clevelsnd's financial policy. Congress ia

TRAMPs IN PTTTsBURG, KANSAS.

The following dispatch from Pitts
burg, Kas., dated January %, appears
in the daily papers:
So numerous have been the attempts at
assault and burglary, robbery, etc., in this
vicinity lately that there is talk Of follow
ing the action of other cities in this section
in the organization Of vigilance committee
30 look after the lawlessness thst is sppar-
emily getting fOOthold. It is suggested to
divide the committee into wards and form
in that way. Tramps and vsgsssccads have
been driven from the city. The Lswelling
letter is condemned in every particular.
When one of the tramps refuses to leave
town he will be taken in hand and dealt
with as the committee deems fit. Assault
and murder will be punished by judge
lynch. The ideas Of those interested in the
organization Of the committee are not
exactly what they should be, but will have a
dsmpening effect upon the boldness OF
tramps and burglars who are running at
large. The men sgitsting the matter are
determined.
Instead of trsmps being drawn to
Pittsburg by the Lewelhng circular,
the lawless element said to be In that
section of the state undoubtedly be-
longs to the rlff-rsff shipped IN by
the coal barons during the strike to
take the place o. the striking miners.
It is very convenient just now for
those who were responsible for the
importation Of toughs during the
strike, to shift the responsibility OF
their presence in that community to
the Lewelllng circular, and the great
moral dsilles are their willing tools
in giving currency to the intended
delusion. They who SOW the wind
shall reap the whirlwind, and the coal
bsrons and their sympsthizers are
just beginning to harvest their crop.
