HRID ANNRnJ

CAN'T HELP ANYBODY.
One thing Is clear, and that is that the
Coxeyites haven't any perception of the
ridiculous. If they had they would long
ago have stopped marching toward Wash
ington to labor with the Democratic sd-
ministration. That administration can't
do anything for them or for anybody else.
It can't do anything for Congressman
Pigott. It can't do anything for itself. 1t
Is about the most incapable and discredited
administration that has ever had an op-
portunity to show how 1t couldn't govern.
As Ex- Congressman John 8. Wise says,
there has been q little over q year of
Democratic rule, and not a single pledge
has been redeemed. In place of the repeal
of the State bank tax, one hundred and
fifteen national banks have gone into in
solvenoy; in place of unprecedented pros.
perity, the tide of emigration has turned
against US; in place of New Jerusalem for
the South, one white man from Virginia
has been appointed minister to Hayti, and
an ex-post-facto Confederate has been put
In charge of the Interior department to
pass upon the pensions of United States
soldiers. The appointment of supreme
court judges has degenerated into a fight
between two Democratic leaders. Foreign
ministers have been appointed whose &C.
tive service consisted in trying to convince
thinking people that dudes could think,
and whose retirement was for the purpose
of writing an essay on ''The Last of the
Kuiokerbockers."
And the Republicans of Indiana told the
plain truth when they said: We denounce
the present attempt of q Democratic con-
gress to overthrow and destroy the Amer
ican industrial system, course that with
the general fear of q violent readjustment
of tho country's business to a free trade
basis has increased the national debt, has
plunged the country into the most disas-
trous business depression of Its history,
has closed large numbers of banks and fac
tories throughout the country, has thrown
an unprecedented number of American
citizens out of employment, has compelled
thousands of able bodied and industrious
men to humiliate themselves by asking for
charity, and hae filed our broad land with
free soup houses and food markets.
What can such an administration do for
anybody. The stuifing is all out of 1t and
Its prophet, and 1t is seen as it is, barren
of capacity and barren of honor. Even
Congressman Pigott is at last disgussed
with 1t, and he has shown great loyalty
to IT,

DAWN, DAM, DAME.

A ecker of knowledge writes to us over
the modest signature ga Common Person"
and asks us to tell her the exact difference
between a Colonial Dame and a Continsn-
tai Dam. We may not be able to do that,
but possibly we can give her some hints
that will assist her In deciding what the
exact difference is. And we are ali the
moro willing TO try because she Is COM
mon person and yet shows an interest in
true definitions and values.
1t will be noticed by common person
that we have written the Dam after Con-
tinental without the ''n" which Is usually
attached to it, and which entirely changes
the meaning which we shall try to show
really belongs with the phrase. There are
two kinds of philologists, those who swear
and those who don't. Those who don't
say that the expression "Tinker's
Dam" Is legitimate and that "Tinkef's
Damn" Is away off. That being SO will 1t
not be better to stick to the pious philolo-
eists and initiate them By excising q
wicked letter which turns a perfectly re-
spectacle word into a cuss wordl Having
decided that 1t will 1t Is as easy to take
| that profsue IN" off the Continental Damn
as 1t has been to take IL off Thinkers
Damn" Tn herefore off she goes and we
| have "Continentsl Dam" as 1t was before
| It became wicked. That being logically
and philologicalrs established we are on
the right track. There can be no question
about the real meaning of the word "Con.
tinsntsl." There need be none about the
word Dam as she Is used in this word
study. 1t is the came as Dame, meaning q
woman. Therefore we have come with ease
and more or less accuracy to the knowledge
that Continental Dam is . Continental
woman. A Colonial Dame was originally
also Continental woman In the days o,
the Continental Congress and the Cont
mental currency. OF course Colonial
Dame In these days ia not Continental
woman. She is not woman at all. Sht
is lady who n trying to make ont that Il
abe had lived In the Continental times shs
would have been Continental woman
Perhaps she would. We shall not attempt
to decide whether she would or not. W,
will only say that If she had been the rea
thing she would have been useful.
But however. We have shown that Con
tinental Dam and Colonial Dame may mear
much the same. We do net feel responsi
bic for the en-" that 80 wickedly attached
itself to the Continental Dam and pervert
ed 1t. 1t Is possible that that naughty en-
having been summarily excised by us ma,
lin the activity of Its evil nature shove th'
sc" of of Colonial Dame and take its place

of the people know anything of them and

Goodrich, Kss., October Is.
G.. T. Pierce, Goodrich, KGs.:
DEAR SiR:-Your letter, asking for in
formation concerning certain statements
made by me, duly received. Instead Of
railroad commissioners, my original
statement was railroad assessors. / had
reference to the railroad assessment Of
1891 and 1892, when / stated that they
gsve the railroads $5OO,0OO in return for
$25OOO. Reference to the state auditors
reports for 1890 and 1892 will show that
the railroads Of the state paid e489, 9,577.4 AZ
less in taxes to the various counties In
1891 and 1892 than they did In 1889 and
1890.
These statistics are made from re-
ports Of the various county clerks filed
with the state auditor, and the accom-
panying table is given to show how the
reduction affected the various counties,
and can be proven by reference to the
records at each corresponding county
seat in this state.
