The latest news that reaches us
from Washington encourages the
hope that the tariff bill now before
the senate will probably pass not
later than Saturday night next.
This done, there is every reason to
believe that the condition of the
will at once improve, as
Che uncertainty of the fate of this
bill has undoubtedly caused all the
trouble that now confronts us.
Capitalists, not knowing just what
it might affect and to what extent
were chary about making invest
ments until they could ascertain
just where they "were at With
tMst pneasiness removed they will
no longer hesitate to bring their
horded and hidden millions to the
light of circulation, and the efful-
gent rays these millions will cast
upon the commercial centers will
in an incredibly short time reflect
brightness to the country's whole
circumference. There's good time
coming, boys, and we may be happy
yet. So don't be downcast.

FUNNY FELLOW.
Jester Mason Amusss an Auiience last
Evening".

| Jestof Mason Amuooe an AufSonCo L0s
Evening.
Twas a gala night for the Lincolr
republican club last evening. the &C.
casion being a speech by Billy
Mason. Of Chicago. The stage wa.
decorated with pictures of Lincoln,
Grant and others, and around all was
wrapped the U. S. flag. Bleuer's
band had been engaged for the occa'
sion, and contributed for the musical
part Of the entertainment. Billy did
the rest.
After being introduced by Chair
man c. j. Searle, Billy arose, and
after thanking the Lincoln club for
the courtesies shown him, he sug-
gested that they appoint a commit
tee to act with a committee from the
Lincoln club. OF Chicago, in regards
to repairing Lincoln's monument at
Springfield, Ill. He then told his
hearers that he would speak on re-
publicanism. Billy makes an awfnl
stagger at experimenting. but ne
better pose as a jester. He is about
five feet six inches tall aud about six
feet around the waist; his black hair
is long and curly. his appearance be-
ing altogether grotesque. He
opened up and sailed on his subject
last evening with vim. He hoped,
he said, that when he had finished
his speech that a number of demo-
Gratis would come over to the side Of
the Lord. Then he told. why he
didn't like Grover Cleveland, and
asked for the name of one shop in
Rock Island that didn't run full time
and pay full wages during Harrison's
administration, and then he asked
for the name OF Rock Island fac
tory that ran full time and paid full
wages during Cleveland's admins
tration.
His Little Joke.
Then he lost the thread of his ar
gument. He said. IL have here in
my pocket book, which l will pre-
sent to the chairman; it is entitled
What Congress Has Done We
will see what he can find between
the covers. I've tried to find some
thing in it, but can't, because the
leaves are all blank" Then every
body laughed, and so did Billy. lie
took great pleasure in letting his
hearers know that he was personal
friend of Mckinley, and, in speaking
of his fascination for the Mckinley
bill, said that when it was intro
duced in congress he shook hands
with the next president of the United
States, William Mckinley. Then
everybody cheercd, and Billy went
on. His predictions were, of course,
met with enthusiasm, and after
cracking several Safeguarding and
profane jokes, he turned on the G..
A. X. in the most glowing terms. He
spoke of their bravery and how he
wished that he could honorably wear
&. A. X. button. II he could. he
would rather wear it than diamonds,
and he would rather have an honora-
bic discharge from the army framed
and hung in his parlor than all the
grandcst pieces of art. How he
worked on the hearts of the old SOL
dicrs. They, of course, thought no
one lived like Billy.
Then Of course Billy had to refer
to that tin-pail affair of his and con-
demned the press for the fun it
had with him. He said: ..Of course,
anyone can have fun with a man
when he is beaten"
On the whole. Mason is a huge joke
on mankind, and is but one of the
many so-called statesmen that travel
over this earth.

Herbert seldom ventured beyond the

and much Of the time actually disguis-

as the wife Of James Stephens, Fenian

profession of a civil engineer. At the
age Of "a he Joined the .'Young Ire

movement. His work was done with
the utmost secrecy and caution, but the
whole enterprise collapsed after sin
gle attempt at instruction at Ballin-
garry June 80, 1848 The blow was a
miserable failure, and four leaders,
O'Brien, Meagher, McManus and
O'Donahue, were condemned to death.
Stephens, with two others, after long
wanderings, with the police like blood
hounds on their >track, reached France
There they remained, quietly plotting
by means Of correspondence for five
years, when Stephens drew the lot to
proceed once more to Ireland and organ
ize new conspiracy" AS prepara-
ton for the work he made a house to
house canvass of the Emerald Isle,
walking over $500 miles and appear
ing in cabins and farmhouses variously
disguised, sometimes as priest, some
times as farm servant, and again as a
mendicant on crutches. He likewise
managed to reconn otter carefully all the
leading strongholds Of Ireland used for
the incarceration of political prisoners.
While Stephens was secretly laboring
in Ireland other agents were plotting in
America, and the result was the extern
sive organization known as ''The Irish
Republican, Brotherhood" or "Feni-
ans" More than million Irishmen
in America enrolled themselves and
half that number in Ireland. Of this
vast conspiracy Stephens was chief or
ganizer, or head center,'' and his aim
was the formation of an army fitted to
cope with the armies of England. The
followers enrolled were to undergo So
we're military discipline and arm and
equip themselves with the best modern
weapons and munitions of war. So for
midable did the movement become that
at the close Of the American civil war,
when thousands Of sworn Fenians, many
Of them officers Of rank, were discharged
from the Union and Confederate armies,
the British government determined to
stamp out the brotherhood in Ireland.
The chief newspaper organ of the So
ciety, The Irish People, was seized in the
summer Of 1866 and detectives put on
the track Of the leaders. For years it
had been a mystery on both sides Of the
Atlantic as to who was the so called
''head CENTER" the master behind that
vast machine, the car at whose word
1900, 900 armed men would spring into
the field and assail the British power in
Ireland. Through treachery the govern
ment spies had long known of Stephens,
but so rapid were his movements and
SO clever his DISCUSSES that he was able
for months to battle them. Finally, to-
ward the close of the summer of 1885, it
was generally believed that the ''head
center" had left Ireland and sought
asylum in Paris or New York.

as Herbert established his household in
