POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.


1t was in the conservatory. At last
he had the chance of tete-a-tete with
the fair one who had enslaved him.
She seemed rather cold but, of
course, that might be due to the cooler
atmosphere after the warmth of the
ballroom. This is how he attempted
to break the Ice:
81 suppose you are extremely fond of
dancing, Miss Triptoe?"
''Well, not passionately. some
times prefer sitting out'-especially
with an interesting partner"
Then the band struck up again.
Let me see, have you down for
this waltz, / think. Shall we miss it?"
80 dear, moi Not on any accountp'
And somehow he didn't seem to half
enjoy that dance Boston Globe.

A Gigantic Schem g.

A bill has been introduced In the
house providing for the appointment
by the president Of commission to
examine and report upon the feasibil-
ity and desirability of constructing a
boulevard from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific oceans. The bill was introduced
at the request of DIR. John 7. Nagle,
the chief of the bureau of vital statis-
tics of New York. The commission,
Mr.. Dunphy says, Is to report upon the
cost of the boulevard, the character of
the roadbed and the several states
through which it will run from New
York to the Pacific slope. DIR. Nagle's
idea is to make the proposed boulevard
similar to that of the western boule-
ward in New York city, with a road
way on either side, and a promenade
through the center, shaded by trees.
Mr.. Dunphy roughly estimates the cost
at one hundred million dollars. Aside
from the utility of the roadway, it
would afford employment for thou
sands of idle men, which he regards as
one of the chief considerations of the
plan.

Race Prejudice.

Race prejudice will often help q
man to carry out a fraud, said q citizen
of Helena, Mont, the other day.
There is an alleged gold mine in our
state which has proved the graveyard
for thousands of dollars invested by
over-sanguine white men. Finally G
colored man got hold of it for a song,
and very shrewdly renamed it after
his own race. He then started on q
junketing tour through the southern
states, and, making use of an excep-
tionally smooth tongue, harangued
crowds of negroes on the injustice to
colored people in restricting all profits
of gold mining to the whites. His an
nouncement of some of the large for
tunes made by white people was fol-
lowed by the announcement that for
the first time fair chance was given
to the negroes, and hot cakes seldom
sold more rapidly than his fve-dollar
shares. He carried this on for quite
long period, and without, as far as
can see, infringing any law or laying
himself open to any proceedings, he
accumulated quite small fortune for
himself. The mine was a bona fde
one, inasmuch as n number of men
were always kept working in it, and
from time to tirae there has been
enough yield in month to pay a
weeks wages. The great feature OF
the scheme was the play upon names
and prejudices, and this proved a most
remarkable success.

AN index of the prevailing hard times
is the number of seedy men and boys
who gather about the fruit wharves of
New York city on the arrival Of
vessel carrying bananas The fruit Is
put aboard when green, but ON long
voyages many punches become ripe by
the heat of the hold. In this condi-
ton rough handling breaks the
lunches apart, and as the wholesale
dealers will not accept the fruit in
this condition a large part of 1t is
thrown away, Persons to whom salts
factory meals are few and far apart
have learned that bananas are most
filing, and as the broken punches
may be had nearly always for the ask
ing they have grown to await the
arrival of fruit steamships in order to
satisfy their hunger.

The town was again put into state Of
excitement Wednesday evening by Fer
ry Washgo and his wife having set-to,
but this time it was not as serious as the
last. The trouble started between Ferry
and young couple who lived in with
him. 1t appears Ferry got Jealous of
his friend, so some hot words came be-
tween them. Ferry's wife joined in the
debate and her husband gave her ter
rife blow, and she took back seat
Ferry and the other still gave tongue to
one another until free fight followed.
Both men clinched and then the woman
of the young married man tackled Ferry.
This again angered Ferry's woman, so
she went to the assistance of her lord
and master and tackled the young lass.
The fight lasted but few minutes, but
during that time axes, garden forks and
pick-handles were freely used. At the
end of the battle bottling team was
passing by and was stopped and the
young couple loaded their baggage and
removed to one of their South street
friends houses.

Cheap Road Improvement.

An interesting experiment in the i'm
provement of public roads is in prog
ress in Newcomb township, Ill. The
farmers in that vicinity have always
been strongly opposed to schemes for
building hard roads, claiming that
their construction would practically
conhscate the farms They have there
fore held to the improvement of the
common dirt roads, constructing them
with underdrainage by the use of tile
and with open side bitches. The re-
suit is that they have the best roads in
the county. Last fall they tried
rounding them up by the use of road
grader drawn by traction engine,
and the experiment worked so well that
they have tried it again this spring
Owners of traction engines have no
employment for them at this season
and are glad of the chance to do the
work. The price paid for an engine,
with two men, is eight dollars day,
and it is found that in two weeks of
good weather one engine can surface
up all the roads in the township, leav-
ing them In better condition than hand
or team work could do 1t, and in less
time and at a fifty per cent saving In
expense. 1t Is proposed to entirely
abandon the labor tax for road pur-
poses and to pay all road taxes in
cash, the work to be done by ma

paid out on fraudulent or illegal pensions,
the Democratic management of the pen

accrued payments on them. That is
just the sort of thing that the people
have right to expect from the Demo-

increased wherever possible if the law

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, May 4, 1894.

Washington, May 4, 1894.
Coxey's march upon the capitol was
one of the most farcical fzzles of the
age. Today he and Carl Browne and
Christopher Columbus Jones are being
tried in the police court for violating the
law in attempting to make speeches
from the steps of the capitol. They are
not likely to be severely punished
probably small fines as a warning. If
the foolish men now on their way to
Washington to join Coxey could get
within smelling distance of the pest-hole
in which the poor Coxeyites are confin-
ed-Coxey says camped--they would
turn back at once. Inasmuch as Coxey
was told by the health officer of the
danger attendant upon putting those
poor devils in a marsh partially filed
with dumpings of city filth, with an
open sewer on one side and stagnant
green-scummed cesspools on the other,
and the foul atmosphere thoroughly i'm
pregnated with malarial germs, it looks
as though he would be glad to gain a
little additional notoriety by having a
lot of them die like dogs.

now there are half sick from exposure
and lack of proper food, and the daily
inspections by the health officials is
followed by the ambulance carrying
some of them to the hospitals. Coxey,
being comfortably quartered at a hotel,
says he intends to keep these men here
until they are joined by several hundred
thousand, but he won't. Those who
don't get sick will desert; every day
some of them get arrested for begging in

The Republicans in congress are not
doing much talking this week about the
special election last Tuesday in the third
Ohio congressional district, at which the
Democrats elected Paul ]. Sorg to con-
gress by substantial majority, although
a week ago they were boasting that the
district would 60 Republican as a protest
against tariff reform. 1t seems that the
Democrats of that district are like those
of all the other districts-they want
tariff reform and the Democratic sena-
tors cannot give it to them any too soon
The Republicans are as quarresome
and spiteful as lot of setting hens these
days and all because the Democratic
senators do not see fit to take them into
their confidence as to the nature of the
proposed amendments to the tariff bill.
With the exception of the day that the
senate adjourned Immediately after as
sembling, because Of the death of Sena-
tor Stockbridge, of Michigan, there has
not been session of the senate for a
week at which the Republicans have not
attempted to provoke the Democrats into
row. To the credit of the Democrats
be it said they have as a rule kept their
tempers, allowing the Republicans to
make lot of ridiculous statements about
something that they knew absolutely
nothing about-the intentions of the
Democrats.
The favorite misstatement seems to be
that new tariff bill is being prepared.
Although denied when first made, by
Senators Voorhees, and Harris, it has
since been reiterated by half dozen
Republican senators. The Demo-
cratic senators will in due time an
nounce the amendments to the tariff
bill, which will be supported by the
finance committee, and they will pass
them, too; also the bill. The object of
the Republicans is to create dissension
among the Democrats, but it will not
succeed. The Democrats are today
nearer together than they have been
during the session, and will remain so.
