BRITISH EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES

Here we find that the British manu-
facturers have sold to American con-
sumers $12,000,000 worth less of the
goods enumerated during the first three
months of this year than they sold us
during the corresponding quarter of
1898, and this does not comprise their
total sales, the aggregate Of their ex-
ports showing shrinllage of $19,500,-
900 for the three months this year, or at
the rate of $6,500,0O0 month.
When the British shopkeeper is drop
ping fewer shillings into his till, he is apt
to go wild, and it is not surprising that
loss of Sc 800, 600 month, during three
consecutive months, of golden dollars
that ought to be squeezed out of the
American eagle should result in the is
suance of instructions to the British
merchants in New York to demand the
immediate passage of the Wilson BILL

Hunnor In Women.

A contemporary intimates that women
are deficient in humor because they seldom
indulge in boisterous laughter. The woman
who laughs is not so uncommon as some
may imagine. Out of respect to man, how
ever, many of her loudest outbursts of
mirth are reserved for her own privacy.
She dislikes to wound even such fair game
as masculine tanity. Seriously there is lit
tie definite relation between laughter and
humor. Buffoonery excites laughter. Wit,
on the other hand, which is to drollery
what polished steel is to raw ore, usually
provokes only smile, but it is Damascus
blade which most intelligent women know
how to WELD with effect.-New York Press.

O GREAT GROVER!
MAY THE PRAYER OF THE RIGHT
EOuS AVAIL US MUCH.

He Spoke In PARALLELS, but Now His People
Have True Understanding-HeP repareth
Them For Life of Ease and Plenty.
They Toll Not; Neither DO They Eat.
o great and all wise Grover, once
moro we thank thee for thy bountiful
goodness toward us.
o great master, we thank thee for the
privilege Of putting sackcloth upon our
backs and of sitting in ashes and Of eat
ing thy free trade soup.
o great master. we know that thou
speakest In parallels to us, for hast thou
not said in one of thy speeches that
wheat would be worth 81 % per bushel,
and that wages would be high if we
would only make thee our president?
Now, great master, it is all clear to us
that thou speakest in parallels, and that
thy meaning was that, when Mckinley
and Reed should be elected in 1896,
then we shouldst receive high price
for our wheat and high wages for
our labor. But, great master, we love
thee still, for we know that when thou
art done with us that we will be fit sub
jects for dime museum, there to earn
plenty and rest in peace
O great master, we know that the
Breckenridge scandal has grieved thee
sorely, and we know that when thou art
grieved thou goest a-fishing in Buzzard's
bay.
o great master, the supply of thy
Cleveland badges is running short. The
season of the bowling billiards. is ap
preaching, and we have not the where
withal to replace thy badges.
o great master, we know thou hast
often told us that the road of free
trader is hard road to travel in this
country, but blessed is he that endureth
to the end, even though his friends be
not able to recognize him.
If thou wilt only veto this Wilson
bill, we will stand by thee firmly till
1896. Then we will hurrah loudly for
Mckinley and Reed.
o great Grover, we are growing thin
upon the substance of things doubtful
and things not seen. Wilt thou not do
something, O great master, before thy
term of Office dost expire, for then thou
wilt be q nobody, nincompoop with
no power and not able to do anything.
o great master, what is congress do
ing? Is it stepped in the silurian mud
of partisan prejudice or hidden by the
vapor rising midst its pampered imag-
ination. 1t has blown it's trumpet long
and loud but it has done us no good.
o great master, has this great con-
gress which was on thy hands dropped
through the crater into tho mire and
stuck there? Of truth, master, there
is but little danger that archaeological
research will ever unearth its lonely
habitat, for is it not true, o Grover,
that only the crudest fossils exist in
that lower strata?
o great Grover, that free trade song
which thou has sung is but as chest
nut 1t has been sung and sung and
sung again with variations. Yea, verify,
it has been sung time and time again
until all the people have grown weary
of its dull monotone.
o great master, why hast thou not
done something in these long IS months
of our weary wait, thou who hast had
to bear with the lean of thy kind? 1t
would even be a merciful act, o great
and good Mr.. Grover, to drive us from
this earthly existence, for we are long
ing longing, longing for change.

Philadelphia woman,s Clubhouse.

The New Century clubhouse at Philadel-
phia, an $50 600 building without stores O.
offices, was built by the members of the
club. A stock company was formed similar
to one which built a clubhouse for the Mil
waukee Woman's club, of which the stock
holders were all members. Not only did
the New Century club build its own house,
but it pays dividend on the money in
vested. This is done by renting the hall
and some of the many beautiful parlors
and committee rooms. The house was
planned by a woman, the architect was a
woman, and all the members of the stock
company are women.

4E ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
General Sheridan Explains What Is the
Matter With the Democratic Party.

General Sheridan Explains What Is the
Matter With the Democratic Party.
Some years ago, while General George
A. Sheridan was addressing great au-
dience in Cleveland, q man yelled out
to him, "What is the matter with the
Democratic party anyhow" Sheridan
dropped the line of argument he was
pursuing, turned toward the man and
replied as follows: "What Is the matter
with the Democratic party? will tell
you, my friend. The Democratic party
was born under planets that were in OPP
position. 1t lives in the objective case.
Like mule, it has no pride of ancestry,
no hope of posterity. 1t never originates
anything. 1t always shines by borrowed
light Democracy has never been Joined
IN honest wedlock to principle, but
lived for years in open adultery with a
harlot called slavery, lived with her till
she died of corruption and was buried
amid the sobs and groans of her para
mour.
''The atmosphere that surrounds De-
mocracy is full of noxious vapors that
breed moral pestilence and death. The
sun never shines through it, vice seeks
its shadow, and corruption grows lusty
under it's unholy influence. Springs of
purity are never found in Democracy
Its waters are torpid, lifeless, covered
with the filth and scum With which
stagnant pools and waveless waters al
ways offend the eyes of men. The soil
which Democracy has cultivated has
failed to yield harvests of value to the
nation, but has given crops of worthless
weeds and briers.
Democracy has no love of country,
believes in states instead of nation,
drives loyalty from its doors and well
comes treason to its habitation. holds
the deeds of our soldiers and sailors as
naught, strives to blacl1en the names of
our heroes, weeps over the lost cause,
hates the blue and loves the gray stabs
loyalty in the back, binds up the wounds
of treason and speaks words of hope and
comfort to its devotees, applauds when
helpless blacks are stricken down in the
south and caresses the hands red with
their innocent blood. denies the right Of
American citizens to make homes for
themselves in the south, justifies the
man who shoots them down or drives
them out.
Democracy is curse to the land,
the source of our bitterest woes, the
haven where vice finds friends and
crime its apologists and defenders.
Democracy is original sin let loose to
rend and destroy. is the spirit of evil
filling the swine of the land, the incar-
nation of unholiness, the child of the
devil. It's home should be in that outer
darkness where there are weeping and
wailing and crashing of teeth. Such,
family pictured, my friend, is what is
the matter with the Democratic party
Sheridan picked up tho thread of his
speech at the point where he had been
interrupted. He was asked no more
questions during the evening.
