WE'LL MATCHED.

He was fiirt, and she was a flirt
Too clever by half, you see,
For each one thought
The other was caught.
And both Were fancy free.
He made a mark on his meerschaum
pipe,
That all his victims enrolled:
She cut a nick
On her blue fans stick.
That a tale of conquest told.
His number was only twenty-nine,
And hers was thirty-and-t three,
Yet both still Swore
That never before
Had they met affinity
He was blinded by glimmering gold.
But not by her golden hair
And she confessed
She was much impressed
To find him a millionaire.

For tired and bored was he,

Cried little Cupid,

They played the prettiest comedy,
Till the gay season went,
Then in dismay
They found one day,
That neither had a cent.

THEY WE'RE EGGS.
And They Came to Grief in Prosaic
Sidewalk Collision.

Buffalo Express: A man with a
dark-blue ovcrcoat and a lot of other
clothes stood in front of the academy
Of music on Saturday afternoon He
had paper bag on one arm, which
was full of something or other, and
he was looking intently up the street
A short man with an old suit of
clothes and some suaggly gray whis-
kers walked rapidly down the street
His head was bent and looked neither
to the right nor to the left.
The tall man looked over the head
of the little man. The little man
looked between the feet of the tall
man.
1t was six o'clock.
The wind whistled up the street
A couple of newsboys whistled down
the street
The little man came plunging along.
The tall man did not move. At 6
o'clock and 80 seconds there was a
collision. The little man struck the
tail man amidships. His shoulder hit
the tall mans paper bag. There was
a peculiar squashy sound and stream
of yellow and a stream of white be-
gan to run down the front of the dark
blue overcoat.
The little man half stopped. The
big man got red in the face and tried
to think of something apt to say.
"Whyr' calculated the little man,
them was eggs in that bag, wasn't
they?'
The tall man was so angry that he
couldn't speak. The front of his over
coat looked like an UNDERGONE ONE
lette on a blue dish.
The little man swerved off to the
west and caught his stride again. Il
wouldn't give much for 'em, now,"
he added, pleasantly, and then he
passed along and was around the
corner of Seneca street before the
tall man could catch his breath.
1t was Col o'clock
And the tall man had no eggs for
dinner.

THE RECIPROCITY POLICY


Senators German and Brice agree in
predicting that the tariff bill, as it
now stands, with very slight changes,
will receive the support of every demo-
crat in the senate. That, on a full
vote would insure it's passage, but not
it's enactment. The house will refuse
to concur in the amendments, prob
ably, and a conference committee will
follow as a matter of course. Then
the final settlement of the matter will
be in sight. The last stage of the pro-
ceeding will be then reached.
In the meanwhile the farmers Of the
west will be likely to get a clear
understanding of their interest in the
bill.
AS it now stands this tariff bill
would be the severest blow ever dealt
to the farmers and ranchmen Of the
country. The Chicago Inter Ocean ex-
planned the other day the relation of
the proposed abrogation of reciprocity
to the agricultural interest, and now
comes the Washington correspondent
of a democratic contemporary confirm
ing and simplifying what we said.
of" says this correspondence, "the
congressman from districts most inter-
ested in breadstuffs and meat products
would manifest that belligerency
which characterized the sugarites, they
would preserve the reciprocity law"
and then adds:
"How valuable this law is to the
grain and provision men is demon
strated by the following figures show
ing the growth of their business with
Germany during the years since the
reciprocity treaty went into effect. In
1889 we exported to Germany Just nine
bushels Of wheat; in the fiscal year
OF 1898 we exported to that country
over 100000 bushels. The flour ex-
ports have increased in the same time
from $4,000 barrels to over 100000 bar
rels; canned beef, from 100000 to
100000 pounds; sailed beef, from
100000 to 100000 pounds; bacon
and hams, from 100000 to 10000
pounds; lard, from 100000 to TO-
100000 pounds. The official statistics
Of our exports with other countries
also show great gains"
What does J. NJ. Palmer, asks the
Inter Ocean, propose to do in the
premises? Does he intend to consent
to the overthrow of a policy of reel
procity which increases the market
value of every steer, hog, or bu.shell
of grain in Illinois? He is confronted
herein by a condition, and not a
theory. The people Of Indiana are also
interested in this same matter. That,
too, is a great state for grain and live
stock. Indiana has two democratic
senators. One of then, voorhees,, is
doubly responsible for the bill. Kyle,
of South Dakota, and Roach, of North
Dakota are two other senators who
are relied upon to pull the bill through

TURPENTINE IN THE SICK ROOM
A Few of the Many Good Uses to
Which 1t May Be Put

The value of turpentine in cases of
sickness is not well enough under
stood. Where there is Inflammation
of the bowels, kidneys or bladder, and
of congestion of the lungs, an applica-
ton of refined turpentine will fire.
quently relieve the most intense pain.
AS an external remedy it is most
seryiceable.
If the application is to remain on
the patient for any length of time, it
should be mixed with lard and spread
on flannel. Prepared in this way it
may be kept on for several hours.
Use teaspoonful of spirits of tur-
pentine to half pint Of lard. If
the pain is very intense two or three
tablespoonful may be used.
Another method is to ring flannel
out of hot water, sprinkle the turpen-
tine on this and apply the flannel to
the spot where the pain is most severe
Cover the wet flannel with a dry fan
mel and upon this lay a soft towel.
Use a teaspoonful Of turpentine for a
surface about a foot square. The ap-
pHcauon can seldom be endured more
than twenty minutes. When it is re-
moved cover the infiamed part with a
piece of soft linen.
Ii the pain comes from gas in the
stomach or bowels eight or ten drops
on lump Of sugar may be taken
with 1mpunity. Turpentine is very
good to give in this way whenever
there is bloating of the bowels from
an accumulation of gas.

THE OHIO ELECTIONS

The municipal elections in Ohio 10
days ago Indicate no return Of conf
dence in the democratic party. The
republican majorities are almost as
great as in the Mckinley cyclone last
fall, and in some respects they are
more significant The state election
with its 10000 republican majority last
November left a few democratic
stronghOlds still in possession of the
free traders. There was Hamilton.
the home of Ex-Governor James E.
Campbell; Lima. the alleged home of
Senator Brfce; Wapakoneta, London,
and other cities that have given demo
cratic maiOrities ever since the war.
They were able to endure six months
of the democratic administration. and
remain democratic in the November
election, but one year of Cleveland,
Gresham. Wilson. Queen Lii. and gen
eral decentralization Of business drove
even these democratic stronghOlds into
the republican party. They all gave
republican majorities this time.
In Cincinnati the democrats made
their campaign under cover of "a citi-
zens' ticket" and the Cincinnati En-
quirer supported that ticket with the
hope Of in that way defeating the re-
publicans. But John A. Caldwell.
fresh from congress, where he had
vigorously opposed the Wilson bill.
was elected mayor by a large plurality
defeating both the citizens candidate
and the democratic candidate.
Columbus and Cleveland both gave
large democratic majorities in 1892.
and Congressman Tom L. Johnson
claimed the latter victory as a COM
plete Endorsement of his free-trade
views. Cleveland swung back into the
republican column last fall but Tom
Johnson looked upon it as a Mckinley
accident. The second republican vic
tory in Cleveland last week is an indi-
cation that Tom Johnson and his free
trade theories have been repudiated in
his old home. The influence of the
Humans was not enough to hold Co
lumbuS in line, nor was the elOquence
of Frank Hurd enough to keep Toledo
from giving a republican majority.
Ex-Governor Campbell's old home,
Hamilton. was never before known to
desert the democratic ticket But that
city could not longer endure the humil-
iation Of uphOlding the administration
responsible for the greatest panic in
American history. Campbell has met
financial ruin along with thousands Of
other business men, and Hamilton
made a clean sweep Of it's democratic
officials to try republican rule.
These municipal elections in Ohio
show how deep is the disgust of the
people for the administration and the
party that have made a malicious
assault upon the business interests of
the country. But they are no more
emphatic in their Reputation than are
the voters of Michigan, where the
same story is told in the elections on
the same day. or those in New York
who spoke at their elections in March.
The whole north is in revolt against
the president and congress that have
allowed the south to dictate a policy
and legislation which have no other
object than revenge.

WISCONSIN'S Ell ECvTJONS

An examination of the returns from
the municipal elections held through
out Wisconsin April shows that a
tremendous change in popular senti-
ment has been going on since the cleo
tons of 1892. There was a sufficient
change of votes in a dozen towns of
the state on Tuesday to effect a re-
versal of the pluralities given the
democratic state and national tickets
two years ago. In ten of the principal
clneS of the interior change of fully
5000 votes from the result of two
years ago is noted. Milwaukee city
gave the democratic ticket nearly
1000 plurality in 1892, but the repub-
leans have twice carried the city
within a year, and the result on Tues
day indicates n change of political
sentiment among 1000 or 5000 of the
electors Of this town. Koch's major
ity is over 5000
In the industrial centers of the state
the change from the vote of 1892 is
marked. Appleton. Kaukauna, Wau-
sau, Chippewa Falls and Merrill are
notable for showing an almost COM
IL.
all these cities, the issues OF general
politics were more or less discussed,
and in some places the elections turned
very largely upon the issues framed
at Washington. Madison is not a
manufacturing city, but the people of
that town did a splendid work in re-
bulIing the state and national admin
isuations. Although the republican
candidate for mayor failed of election.
the plurality against him is so insight
ficant as to constitute a signal rebuke
to the democrats. Madison seldom
fails to give at least 500 majority for
the democratic ticket. Cleveland car
ried the city by $50 in 1892 The can
didate for mayor on the democratic
ticket this year was conceded to be the
most popular democrat in the town.
A year ago he was elected mayor by
a plurality Of more than 900. This
great democratic vote was wept away
on Tuesday and the democratic ticket
slipped in by the small plurality of
Is. The democrats of Madison en-
dorSed the roster job-a $4,000 steal
and this was the emphatic reply of
the people. The city of Wausau, never
before carried by the republicans, and
which gave Cleveland 260 plurality.
came into the republican fold by a
plurality of 800. The manufacturing
city of Appleton responded to the tariff
tinkering in Washington by changing
the 500 plurality given Cleveland to a
$40 plurality for the republican ticket.
defeating Mr.. Humphrey Pierce. one
of the most popular men in the city
and a stalwart democrat. Kaukauna
another manufacturing town, changed
a democratic plurality of 800 in 1892
to a republican plurality of 100. The
lumber workers in the thriving town
of Merrill replied 10 the proposition for
placing lumber on the free list. and
otherwise demolishing American inter
ests, by changing a Cleveland plural
1ty of nearly 300 to republican vic
tory with $50 plurality. Manitowoc
and Neenah changed Cleveland plu-
raa1tles into significant republican ma
jorities.
Almost everywhere throughout the
