that it was the body of b. f. Perry, and

her that would have to be made clear be-

A Lost Opportunity.

The Earl of Rosse mechanical engi-
neer of no mean order, entered the engine
room of large mandatory and gazed
oarelessly at the working Of the machin-
cry. Suddenly he was seen to shake his
head, pull his watch out and to look first
at the engine and then at his timepiece.
The engineers attention had been attract
ed by this somewhat odd behavior of the
stranger, and he apostrophized him in a
rude and aggressive manner with "Well,
what's up nuWi What is it you've got to
find fault with anyhowi"
"Oh, " replied Lord Rosse, "it's all the
same TO me. Two got no fault to find.
I'm just waiting till the boiler explodes. 4"
The boiler explodes? Why, you are
crazy, mani" exclaimed the engineer an
grily, preparing to turn the peer out as a
dangerous crank,
"Well rotorted the earl, elf you work
ten minutes longer with that loose screw
there the boiler will certainly explode"
Tho engineer, gazing in the direction
indicated by Lord Rosse paled and jumped
TO stop the engine
"Why the devil didn't you say so soon

IT is absurd for Democratic journals o

people did not by their votes condemn the
pending, some Of these journals declared
with great emf phasis and solemnity that
the passage OF that bill with the income
tax included would overthrow the Demo
cratic party in every Northern state, and
events have proved that the prediction
was perfectly accurate. To claim at this
late day that the verdict had no such
meaning or force is to give tone of ban
ter, trflinz and irreEp1ni ibility to their
previous utterances. Cert ain Free Trade
leaders offer much wiser explanation be-
cause it is partially true. The people were
indeed disgusted about the action of Con-
gress on the tariff, these Democrats ad,
init, but only because the party broke all
its pledges aud was not true to its
platform, and deliberately sold out
Democratic principles for support in
certain districts or shares in sugar
speculation. There can be no doubt that
this feeling influenced the action OF many
Democrats. In states like Missouri

is reasonable to assume that the sam,
feeling Of disgust, because the party haC
not only failed to abolish Protection but
had actually sold itself to the stock gam

their disgust with the new tariff for a
different reason-because it prostratsd

they are conducted is unbusinesslike, that
too many assistants, secretaries and clerks
are employed, and that in some cases there
is no proper provision for auditing the ac.

it is unnecessary TO say that this distrust

Our New Treaty with Japan.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-There is good
reason to believe that Secretary Gresham
and Minister Kurino yesterday afternoon
added the finishing touches to the new
treaty between the United States and
Japan, and that the document now awaits
only the ratification of the senate and of
the Japanese government, the latter being
almost beyond question. The new treaty
abolishes after about five years the system
of consular court jurisdiction which has
been so obnoxious to Japan, and also
treats of commerce and trade relations.

HOLMES CHICAGO RECORD.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Y yesterday it became
known that Holmes was the head of what
purported TO be an incorporation called
the A. b. @. COPPER company with head
quarters at the MOnon building, on Dear
born street. The copying machine which
Holmes sold was not without merit, but
the sale of territory to agents was the
chief source of revenue.
Holmes would advertise throughout the
country and obtain a correspondence with
people all over the country. Then the vic
tim would be persuaded to visit the city,
and would be usherod into an Office appar-
emily rushed with business. Finally a
proposition would be made for the disposal
Of some state or county, and deal CON

sold for 5000 cash, and that an Office was
established in Cincinnati.
Both of the Dakotas and a majority of
the western states We're disposed of. A
branch was organized i'm New York and
Holmes was paiu 5000 for tho agency in
that city. Some states were sold as many
times as Holmes could find purchasers.
Holmes had in his Office two ostenographers,
