How the Story Grew.

Dr.J. It. Deimar. of Manorville, Penn,
writes: II wish to correct statement
made in recent issue of your journal
concerning the birth of quintuplets by
Mrs. Daniel Rosen berger. The woman
lives but few miles distant, SO can
state positively that such event. The
family made applications to the town
ship for aid. One neighbor woman
heard of their application. and.in repeat.
ing it to another woman, added that
there were five small children in the
family of the Rosen bergers. The story
gained by repetition, until it was re-
ported throughout the country that there
were five children at one birth. Many
amusing incidents were caused by the
circulation of the story. The manager
of Pittsburg museum. in the hope OF
securing the children for his house,
came to Klttanning and drove ten miles
over muddy roads, to find the story un-
true. Several reporters and an agent for
children's food were also disappointed.

The Australian ballot law in the
Southern States with provisions similar
to those in the North for the assistance
of illiterate voters, might, if fairly admin
istered, produce something like honest
elections in that section. But person s
credulity must be very large to believe
that the Australian system is being
aloted with that end in view. If any
thing can be judged by proceedings in
the past it is adopted simply because it
will furnish an easy method of depriv-
ing the negro of his vote under the forms
Of. law. The experience in Mississippi has
shown how test apparently fair to all
can be worked to shut out the ignorant
negro vote while the ignorant white
vote is not materially affected by it.
Dou btless similar sort of procedure is
contemplated in the States here the Aus
tralian ballot is being adopted. Com
munities that for quarter of century
have been in the habit of illegally dis
franchising the negroes are not going to
turn round suddenly and treat them
fairly.

The Hon. Charles Francis Adams, who
has been reckoned in the past as one OF
the gold mono-m etallists, can be count
ed in that list no longer. "The financial
troubles of last summer, due entirely to
the withdrawal of small amount of
gold from this country, has satisfied me, !"
he says, "that gold monom etalic basis
is altogether dangerous" 1t might do.
he says, in times of peace and quiet; but
let any disturbance come, let any nation
in view of impending international
trouble, deem it necessary to strengthen
itself by drawing hundred millions OF
gold into it's Golfers, and "the entire
exchanges of the whole world would be
disturbed" "The trouble is, of course. !"
he proceeds, "that the Withdrawal OF
any considerable quantity of that metal
not only produces the natural amount
of disturbance, but it produces probably
20 times that amount, owing to the
superstructure of credit which neces-
sarily, in modern communities, exists on
a basis of precious metal" Mr.. Adams
is not among those, however, who
thinks the United States can maintain
the double standard alone; but he thinks
that if we adhere to our present course
we can in few years whip England in
to an international agreement

The Fisherman Ducks Sad Fate.

The fisherman duck, in addition to his
liking for fish, is very fond of oysters,
and hereby hangs tale, or rather bill.
When the oyster is feeding at high tide
in that state of calm felicity that char
acterizes the innocent and just when at
dinner, with its mouth wide open,
drin king in happiness like river, with
out thought of savage foe, it is the Gus
tom of the willy fisherman duck to dive
swiftly down upon it and jab it to It's
tender heart before the astonished
bivalve has time to know "where it is
at" which is in the ducks mouth before
it can shut it's own. 1t is trick which
is generally successful, but sometimes
it fails, as in the case of the duck whose
obituary we are now writing. This
duck, unfortunately for himself, dived
and found an oyster. 1t was only little
one, but it had its mouth wide open and
looked SO harmless and innocent that
the Senatorial duck viewed it with con-
tempt. With great disdain ne ap-
preached it, and, inserting his bill, was
lust upon the point of telling the small
bivalve not to be in a hurry to be eaten
when-the little oyster closed its mouth
with the peculiar firmness that ,charac-
terizes meek people when you get them
started. The duck rose to the surface
and vainly tried to get rid of his dinner,
but the little oyster was comfortable
and held on. Though small oyster,
it was too heavy for the ducks head.
B efore long the head went under water,
and the Senatorial duck was drowned
in his own element and at his own
game, The oyster still lives and was
exhibited Thursday in the Sun office,
serene and happy, holding firmly to the
fisherman duck, which was very dead in
deed. -Baltimor Sun.

Secretary Gresham has sowed more
seeds of dissension in the Democratic
party by secretly negotiating a treaty
with China relative to the immigration
of Chinese laborers. All the Senators
and the Representatives from the Pacific
coast say that this treaty if ratified will
practically annu1 all existing restric-
tions on the immigration of Chinese
laporers. 1t will abolish, they say, all
existing regulations and give nothing of
value in return. One representative says
that with this treaty in force the Demo-
Gratis would have no chance whatever of
carrying a single Pacific coast State.
Gresham is bitterly denounced for med
ding with the subject, which had been
settled to the liking of the Pacific coast
by the Geary law.

So far all efforts to compel the Cornell
student who possesses information that
would lead to the detection Of the
chlorine prisoners to testify
hare proved unavailing. He
has been locked up for contempt
by order of the court, but several days.
Imprisonment have not shaken his de-
termination to keep silent. Probably
the court has the power to keep him
shut up indefinitely if he doesn't tell
what he knows or excuse himself on the
ground that it would criminate himself
to do So 1t would seem that under the
circumstances it would be the part of
manliness for the real culprits to come
forward and acknowledge their guilt
rather than to allow this in ocent stu
dent to languish in prison fol eir bene-
fit Certainly such all act would place
them in much better light before the
community than their present skulking.

The Rhode Island Democrats have
concluded to confine the State campaign
TO local issues as far as they are con-
cerned. The Republicans will shave
speeches from ex-senator Reed and Gov.
Mckinley, but the Democrats will not
attempt any reply. The course OF the
Democrats is doubtless the wisest under
the circumstances. But there is very
small chance of their being able to keep
national politics out of the contest. Inc
closed mills and the reduced wages are
objects lessons which cannot be concealed
from the eyes of the working people
