"FReNCH# AS SHE is SPOKE


In one of his entertainments Mr.,
George GroSsmith, the English come
dian, extracts considerable fun from
"Frcnch as she is spoke by the school
boy. In a clever skit on the French
play that forms part of the inevitable
prize day programme all the dialogue Is
Of the conventional first French course
order-viz, Have you seen the garden
of my wife's unclc?' No, but | have
found the pencil of my fathers sister. "
was reminded of this the other day
when calling on friend whose three
small nieccs had just arrived from
South America. The children's native
tongue was Spanish. but evidently a
''first English course had been used to
prepare them for thcrvis to this coun
try, and their quaint high flown phrases
were a constant source Of mirth To the
household. They invariably prefaced
each sentence with, 1t is that.
'Juanita, why haven't you brushed
your hair said my friend 70 the dark
we'd eldest girl Of about g. 1T Is chat
failed to discover my brush, - was the
stately reply. " that moment the baby
up stairs set up piercing yell, where
upon the second child, with hand up
raised. remarked, with infinite solem
nity "Hark. the infant wail,!'

Canadian sheep raisers are greatly
eated over the German tariff bill so
much so that they refuse to sell lambs
to American buyers at anything like a
fair price Wool growers on this side
the line, exhibit more "swear words y
than enthusiasm when the Democratic
tariff is under consideration.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1894-09-06

Sugar, not being much produced in
this country in proportion to the amount
used tariff duty thereon becomes tax
upon the consumer and everybody uses
it, Republicans made sugar free and
relieved the people of tax but Democrats
and Populists combine and put tariff of
40 per cent upon it and thereby tax the
people to that extent.

Vermont gained a signal Republican
victory, Tuesday. Its an off year and
yet the Republican majority will exceed
25,0oO against, 17,l77 in 1892. A gain of
nearly 30 per cent over the majority of
1892, and nearly 100 per cent over that
Of 1890. Its hard 'swipe" at the
Cleyeland-Gorman- Sugar trust Demo

Starks Grange has built and is fitting
up convenient hall in which to hold
the meetings of the Grange. 1t Is situ-
ated in Il beautiful grove near the public
road and is centrally located in the
midst of intelligent and thriving far
mers who are now manifesting good
interest in the Order. There is nothing
to prevent this Grange from pushiag
rapidly to the front linc among oranges
of Sumers County.

One of the leading theories OF popu-
ism is war upon trusts and monopoies
in every form, and this is right, but
their works sadly belle their theories.
The Populist Senators had one of the
beat opportunities to deal an effective
blow at the arch monopoly, the Sugar
trust. by defeating the sugar schedule of
the German Bill but they utterly failed to
do So On the contrary they voted for
this bill and thus voted to transfer
millions of dollars directly from the
pockets of the people Of the country in
to the Golfers of that monster trust.
This is one phase of Populism, and the
one most suggestive example we have of
practical Populism. The party claims
to be the great friend of the people and
the first opportunity that is afforded to
help the people, its Senators at Wash
ington, instead of helping them turn
against them and join the Democrats in
robbing them to the tune of millions OF
dollars.
