They Are Making a Mistake

! The republican senators, backed up by
the republican newspapers, entertain the
! belief that they can prevent the demo-
Gratis from passing the tariff bill They
are mistaken. The democrats are going
to pass the bill. They have got to pass
it, They understand that failure to do
so would cause them to lose control of the
government and keep them out of power
for years.
1t is admitted that the democratic
senators are disappointing the country.
They are lacking in force and leadership
They should have taken up the tariff bill
when it came from the House and pushed
it to vote vigorously. If they had acted
with courage and determination the bill
would have been almost ready for the
Presidents signature by this time.
But they will pass the bill. There is
no doubt about that. They will pass it
if they have to hold congress together
until the snow flies, as Senator Vest said
the other day.
And it may be passed much sooner than
is expected Just as soon as it is perfectly
clear that the democrats are united, the
opposition to the bill will cease. The re-
publicans will stop discussing the meas
ure and let it come to a vote. They are
hoping now that the democrats will not
agree-will never get the bill in such a
shape that it will command majority
They will be disappointed.
The democrats will agree, and they will
agree before very long. The pressure
that is brought to bear upon those who
are holding out for more concessions is so
great that they will not dare to resist it
much longer. And when an agreement is
reached there will not be as much oppo-
sition from democrats and democratic
newspapers to the bill as there is now.
tariff bill will be passed and signed
by the President before congress ad-

box for four bald headed men, and the man in
the box office said no."
Why, l never heard of such thing" said
Manager Powers. Il would sell every box

Threw It At Blains

Numerous stories have been told during the
lifetime Of James @. Blaine to show his
wonderful memory for names and faces.
A Plttsburg Dispatch reporter heard OF an
incident recently that deserves to be pub
hshed. 1t illustrates the point in question,
even Il the participants are dead.

mountains. At an obscure pointin Vernon t,

Brown noticed that a NUMBER Of people had
gathered at the depot TO see him of. but it
did not occur to HIM at the time that the
stranger was prominent in public life. AS the
express moved along at lively clip. Mr.
Brown observed that the white-haired man
frequently looked back through the car.
Finally he walked down the aisle. and hold

said, Il don't know you"

The Populist Ticket.

It was pretty well understood before
I the meeting of their convention that the
populists would nominate Judge J. X.
Hines for governor. They had no other
I man in their ranks who could command
what little strength the party has, except
( Mr.. Watson, and he did not intend to
waste his time in a contest he knows will
! result in overwhelming defeat. Judge
| Hines is man of considerable ability, and
/ is said to be pretty good stump speaker.
! He can amuse himself this summer, there
fore. in teaching the doctrines Of the pop
ulists
Unless he is a better populist, however,
than he was a few weeks ago, when he
announced that he might join the Populist
party, he Will not be a very good teacher.
If he was correctly reported at that
time he was not in full sympathy with
the populist demands He must smother
his convictions and accept the entire pop
ulist platform now, however, or else he
will be repudiated by the populist leaders
upon whom he depends for assistance.
1t must be rather humiliating to the
populists to have to accept such very
raw recruit as their leader. The nomina-
tion of Judge Hines is an acknowledge
ment of weakness. In no other respect
could they have so clearly admitted, ex-
cept by making no nomination at all, that
they do not consider they have much
strength.
AS matter of fact they haven't much
strength. In some of the counties they
can muster good many votes, but in
many other counties they have hardly a
corporal's guard. 1t is doubtful if they
can carry a single county in the state
In South Georgia, where they had good
many voters two years ago, their party is
now almost unknown. Their strength is
mainly in North Georgia, where they
have received good deal of encourage
ment from democratic sources.
The democracy will not be disturbed in
the least by the campaign of the populists
There are not nearly as many populists in
the state to-day as when Gov. Northen
was elected, and they suffered crushing
defeat. The demonstration they made at
Atlanta during their convention means
nothing. They made an effort to have a
crowd present and they got together all
the populists they could from the sur
rounding counties. Judge Hines will
have the satisfaction of having been a
gubernatorial candidate, but he hasn't
the remotest chance of being Gov
Northen's successor.

The Burglars Joke.

A story is going the rounds up town in
which facetious burglar figures, to the dis.
cOmhture and yet the relief of gentleman
who lives in the vicinity of Eighteenth and
Wallace streets, says the Philadelphia
Record. The residence was closed during
Easter, the entire family having gone to At
lantic City, When they returned the house
was discovered to have been broken into, and
everything was turned topsy- turvy. The
most careful search, however failed 70 dis
close where anything had been stolen. and
the supposition was that the thieves
had been frightened OF while at their
work. But the true facts were de.
veloped when a carefully woTded and
well written note was found upon the dining
room table. In this epistle the facetious
burglar had taken the pains to assure the
ewner of the property that nothing had been
taken away. We have tested your silver
ware the note explained, and find it to
be plated. Your curtains are of an inferior
quality and the lewelry such as your wife
ana daughters possess, is scarcely worth car

A Queer Revenge.

II never heard of professional laughers ex-
cept here and in New York city," said the
manager to the Chicago Times and there is
only one. so far as 1 know, in Gotham. He
bothered me considerably when Charley
Aunt was in its first weeks, but had no use
for him. So he got mad and would pay his
way into the theater and try to qIeer the
piece by laughing in his odd way at the
wrong places in the play When there was a
nice, quiet love scene-and there are many
love scenes in 'Charley's Aunt-he would
squeeze out a sharp little sigh as if he were
laughing himself to death and then the whole
house would laugh at him A professional
Laughter knows how to 40 that to per-
fiction. He cuts his laugh loose and let's it
knock against the welkin, but 1t is not the
loudness Of his laugh that wins-it' S
The way he handles it. He laughs with the
audience, OF course. but when they get
through he has good little blast or two left
in his cheeks and he gives these with artistic
expression. This lingering laugh catches the
audience and the people laugh anew. Then
the professional sobs out. Oh, N.Y. and you
think he is giving his last gasp and dying a
glorious cacchinatory death, and the audience
cannot do otherwise than laugh again. And
so 1t goes all night, the audience really laugh
ing with and at the professional and not at
the play. l used to have this professional
elected from the theater every time I found
him there. We didn't need any professional
laughers for Charleys Aunt"

New Light for Mcbride.

Comparatively little progress has been
made toward settling the great coal
strike. There is some talk of a scarcity
of coal in a few localities, and doubtless
fears of a scarcity exist.
Mcbride, who organized and ordered
the strike, is beginning to find out that
the coal operators are not particularly
anxious to have the strike declared off.
Many, if not the majority of them, were
running their mines at loss, and were
rather glad when the burden they were
carrying was lifted from their shoulders
by the miners themselves.
1t now looks as if the miners have no
chance of getting the wages they demand
until the scarcity of coal forces an in
crease in its price How long before that
condition of affairs will occur cannot be
stated with any degree of accuracy.
A question of much more Importance
to the miners, however is this: If there
| is an increase in the price, will the in.
crease be permanent 1t will if there is
a revival of business If business CON
tinues stagnant it will not, because the
demand for coal will not be anywhere
near as great as the supply.
1t is a question whether most of the
miners are not beginning to think they
made mistake in inaugurating a strike
at this time. The operators were paying
as good wages as they could afford-bet-
ter in many instances and they will not
consent to a rise in wages until the mar.
ket for coal improves. In the meantime
the miners are earning nothing. Even il
their wages should be slightly increased
it would take them long time to make
up what they have lost during the time
they have been idle, and, besides, in such
dull times as these there is always dan
ger of the stoppage of work or a reduction
! of wages.
The time to demand an increase OF
wages is when business is very prosper
GUS and labor and the products of labor
are in demand. Unfortunately too many
labor organizations are not controlled by
men of common sense and sound judg-
ment.

Gettine Nearer the Platform.

"Silver Dollar" Bland is beginning to
understand the silver plank in the ma
tional democratic platform if he is the
author of the silver resolution adopted by
the state democratic convention of Mis-
souri,. Wednesday. He attended the con-
vention for the purpose, it is said, of sha-
ping the conventions action on silver. and
the dispatches stated that after the reso-
luton had been adopted he was smiling
and happy. The resolution, however, is
by no means in harmony with the silver
legislation he has been proposing in con-
gress. If the convention had been will
ing to approve Mr.. BANDS record on sill
yer il would have adopted a resolution
something like this: "Resolved, that we
demand the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to -
The convention, however, adopted no
such resolution. The resolution it did
adopt calls for the free coinage of silver
at such a ratio or upon such terms as will
give the silver dollar the same debt pay
ing power as the gold dollar D..
1t is apparent that the democrats of
Missouri do not want debased currency.
They are in favor of sound money Mr.
BANDS teachings have not had the effect
of binding them to the disastrous conse-
quences that would follow the adoption
of the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l.
The declaration of the Missouri demo
Gratis in respect to silver is a substantial
acknowledgment that the financial posi-
ton of the administration is correct and
impregnable There can be no free coin
age of silver until provision is make for
maintaining parity between the two
money metals.

When spring was young and life was new.
Love was our only friend and guide;
Sweet were the bowers he led us through.
And sweet our going side by side.
Then summer came. a golden food.
And still we followed hand in hand;
Love was the music in our blood,
And love the glory of the land.
Rich autumn fell. and winter drove
The frulty rlpeness from the air;
But wrapped in warm. soft robes OF love.
What rocked we If the world was bare?
So round again we come to spring,
Strong for another year S emprise;
The birds are whist to hear us sing,
The sun is dazzled by our eyes.
For, hand in hand, where'er we go.
Earth under foot and heaven above;
Love is the only life we know,
And every breath we breathe is love.

One after another the various "com-
monweal armies" throughout the country
are appearing under their true colors
Two or three days ago Calvin threatened
to turn his men loose upon a town if they
were not forthwith supplied with what
they wanted; various armies have
seized trains and defed the authorities,
and now Kelley's army, in Iowa, one of the
largest of the aggregations, has precipi-
tated fight with guards who attempted
TO keep the men within bounds. Those
fellows have been dealt with too gently.
Instead of bringing picayunish, farcical
case against Coxey, for walking on the
grass, the District of Columbia authori-
ties should have handled him without
gloves for leading body of Migrants into
the district and attempting to make a
speech from the steps of the capitol; then
his following should have been dispersed.
Such action would have been quickly fol.
lowed in like manner by local authorities
elsewhere. But the milk nd-water pol
icy of the Washington authorities seems
to have frightened the authorities else
where. They looked to the capital for
precedent in dealing with a new evil, and
got one not much short of absolute worth
lessness.

Gifted by the change. He had been en-

five years. When he had been in Texas
a short while his fiancee received a tele-

ranged by wire, and the ceremony, with
the brides cousin as proxy for the groom,
was performed according to the rites of
the Catholic church The dying groom
was telegraphed of his marriage. and at
once made will leaving everything he
possessed to the bride The following
day the poor fellow died. The marriage,
1t is stated, was not mercenary one, as
the bridegroom left little or no property.
Proxy marriages are unusual, though
under extraordinary circumstances the
Catholic church sometimes sanctions
them.

1t is noticeable that Mr.. Watson did not
address his populist followers as friends
and fellow citizens, after the ancient and
accepted formula; he saluted them as
comrades" Now, that is the way sol
diers are addressed; Carl Browne and
Coxey always say comrades" when they
address the commonwealers. Carl Browne
sometimes varies the salutation by saying
''fellow dogs" but that is Carl Brownies
idea; comrades" is the correct thing in
the army.
