Cuckoo Philosophy.

In an interview on the subject of tn,
the approaching convention, ex-Gov
Francis is quoted as saying: This / dt
know, and that is that Democrat,
convention in Missouri caunot afford te
meet and not indorse the Nationa
Democratic Administration. do moi
believe that such thing is possible.
Here is the whole philosophy OF
cuckooism-'sMy President, right ol
| wrongn-but is it the doctrine of pure
and undefiled Democracy? Are the
| voters of a party bound to supper,
their leaders through thick and thin,
in unrighteousness and folly? Is il
| necessary for them to humbly indorse
every wrong and every blunder COM
mitted by those to whom they have in
trusted power? Must they lie and
deny their principles in order to shield
those who have betrayed their trust,
and for the sake of party harmony?
Merely by way of illustration let us
take a few instances in the course of
the Cleveland Administration.
The majority of the Democrats of
Missouri are opposed to trusts and
trust influences. Must they, never
theless, indorse the appointment of
Olney and approve his course in be-
traying the party to the trusts?
The majority of the Democrats of
Missouri despise the barter of public
offices. Must they indorse the sale OF
an Ambassadorship to Van Allen?
The majority of the Democrats of
Missouri condemn the use of patronage
as whip to discipline Democrats who
refuse to bow to the Administrations
will, or as bribe to seduce Demo-
Gratis into support of Administration
measures. Must they '.crook the preg-
nant hinges of the knee under the
lash and kiss the hand that smites
JnctE, or grover iof idsofs.
When the Democratic party of Mis-
souri, denies its convictions and praises
wrongs and blunders in order to shield
the National Administration, and to
keep in sugared favor at Washington,
what can the people op Missouri think
of it?
Politicians of the cuckoo variety
seem unable to grasp the fact that it is
sometimes impossible for a party to
indorse its administration. It cannot
afford to do so. There are occasions
when it is the highest duty of voters
and the highest wisdom On their part
to fail to indorse their leadres.
Il was by indorsing the Harrison
Administration and all its measures
that the Republican party lost its
enormous majority in Kansas. st.

Biblical Origin of SLAM.

How many of the readers OF the
department Of the Republic know
that the original 'kicker" In the
metaphorlcal sense is mentioned in
the Old Testament and that an ex.
preston used by Jesus himself is re.
sponsible for our slang phrase,
whats it to you?" In the first
book of Samuel, second chapter and
twenty-ninth verse, "a man of God"
says to Eli; Wherefore kick ye at
my sacrifice and at mine ofrerlng?"
The prototype OF the second phrase
alluded to above is found in the an
swer which Jesus gave Teter, as re-
corded in the last chapter OF ST John,
twenty-second verse: "If 1 will that
he tarry till 1 come, what is that to

COMMON DANGERS TO THE EYES
Reading In the Train Is Ono of tho Worst
OF Them.

Reading In the Train Is Ono of tho Worst
OF Them.
An eminent oculist declares that
typewriting has an injurious effect on
the eyes.
The operator Is obliged to glance
necessarily back ana forth from the
keyboard to the shorthand notes, and
this Is muscular exercise OF the most
fatiguing sort. For this reason, the
oculist says, it is desirable for type
writer's to cultivate a familiarity
with the keyboard similar to that pos
sessed by the accomplished pianist
with the keyboard OF his instrument,
SO that it will be necessary TO look at
the keys as little as possible.

Covering a Bald Head with Frog skin.

Doctor John Eye, Readings skin
grating specialist, who q year ago or
more gained considerable notoriety by
successfully transplanting skin from
the forearm of a colored man to, the
leg of O white man, and who subse-
quently manufactured q dime-museum
freak by planting a flowing mustache
upon the upper lip of o handsome
young woman, is continuing his ex-
periments in that direction. The doc
tors latest achievement, performed
with every evidence of success, is that
of supplying o baldheaded man with o
covering of hair that q football player
might envy. The patient upon whom
this operation was performedis Charles
Mueller, Of Washington, and the SUBJ
iect from whom the material was drawn
to cover the bare spot on the patients
head was o Mr. Gertiesu.
Doctor Eye removed from the head
Of Gertiesu a piece of scalp II inches
wide by 81 inches long, well covered
with hair, and replanted it upon the
head OF Mueller. The soreness created
by the removal of a portion of Ger
tiesu's scalp is almost healed, the doc
tor having so skilfully drawn the LAGER
ated scalp together as to almost remove
all evidence of its removal with the ex-
ception of two small spaces, which he
purposely left with the view of further
experiments. He will cover those spots
with h~air-covered skin takenfrom some
animal, and upon the successful at
tachment Of that transplanted animal
skin upon the head of Gertiesu de-
ponds the fate OF the future baldheaded
men.
If the doctor be successful the bald
neads will 10 longer be compelled to
hide their badness under the old
fashioned uncomfortable wig, but can
simply surrender themselves to the
doctor and have tr~nnsplanted to their
pates the covering of some other fell
low who is willing to surrender his
head for o golden salYe, -Philadelphia

hn oddly shaped Farm.

Maine probably has many oddly
shaped farms, but the ewiston Jour-
nal doubts IL one a be fo1nd more
peculiar in form than that In the east
part OF Dexter, formerly owned by the
pioneer blacksmith, Elijah w.
spraSue. THIS was eight rods wide
and d half mile long, with the high
way cutting 1t at right angles into
unequal portions. The inconven-
fence OF so narrow a farm, with the
pasturage and woodland at one end,
Is obvious to any one, but in this
form 1t has continued from the days
OF the fortfathers to the present
time, in use as a farm all the time.
A farm only twenty rods wide an.
half a mile long was in use a greai
many years near Farmlnston Falls
and IL may be so used vet, but the
Dexter farm beats it by nearly two
thirds for narrowness and general
oddly. Farms of this shape are num-
erous in Canada.

legitimist, an Orleanist, and a Re-

people ran up to the wife of the Or
leanist politician with the exclama-
ton that "All was LOST" as the le-
gitimist rival was going to present
svery poor member Of the congrega-
ton with a four-pound loaf after d.
vine service the following day. The
lady reflected a moment and then
said that she would be equal to the
occasion. She kept her word. As
the people filed out Of the church on
a Sunday morning the legitimist
candidate distributed his bread; but,
posted on the other side of the door,

recipients Of the four-pound loaves a

New York May 23.-Wal street specula-
ton today was generally strong, and de-
cidedly active. Reactions, due mainly to
realizing sales, took place at intervals,
and there was an occasional bear drive,
which sent prices down temporarily, but
there were buyers fc- all the stocks Of
fere6, and after each decline came a rally
which established a h.e-.sr range of val
ues. Exceptions to the rule were found
In some of the speculative specialties,
which moved erratically, and in few
cases receded on the day. London was
purchaser in round amounts of the ar
bitrage stocks, chiefly of st. Paul. Louis
vile & Nashville, Union Pacific and At
Gibson. Chicago was also a heavy buyer
of st. Paul. supposedly for the account of
prominent railway men in that city, who
anticipated good results from the meet
ing Of railway managers to be held IN
that city tomorrow. The general market
was helped upward by the expectation of
a settlement of rate questions for some
time to come by this conference, and the
bulls used the meeting for all there was
in it, and perhaps more.
Sugar was again taken in hand by the
clique, and moved upward on reports
from Washington that the Senate would
very shortly pass the tariff bill with the
clause protecting the refining interests,
and that the House would accept the Sen
ate dmendemtfS.

Shares of the anthracite stocks faVora-
bly, Chicago Gas was bought by out
siders on the belief that there would be
no further effort to interfere with the
payment of the dividend.
Cordage stock was strong on reports
to the effect that arrangements had been
effected with manufacturers outside the
trust and helped to maintain prices. All
the influences affecting the market were
read in a favorable light by the traders,
and hence the trend of prices was upward.
During the afternoon, the buying was,
at times, very strong, but IN the maj
dealings realizing sales caused a general
reaction and the market closed easier at
a decline of AG5s from the best prices.
