t. try to get out of debt. There has
been remarkable liquidation during
the past two years and when good
times come they will find people bet
ter prepared than ever before in this
respect at least
IT is a sad comment on the size oi
the modern dress sleeve. An exchange
tells of a gallant young man who
rushed to the rescue OF female cycle
rider who had taken Il header. but un-
tremendously took himself to the
woods when he discovered that i'm his
excitement he had attempted to help
her up by her bloomer sleeve instead
Of her dress sleeve.
Zoe GAYToN, a female pedestrian
left Tacoma last week to walk around
the world, which she is to do in Is
months on wager. Now comes
"Champion" Sutton, who says he will
give Miss Gayton 500 miles start and
then beat her time considerably, earn
ing his expenses as he goes. Last
winter he walked from Chicago to
Tacoma in 81 days days and claims
that on ordinary ties he can walk five
and a quarter miles an hour. and keep
1t up from daylight to dark.
THE Herald, one OF the wealthiest
and most popular of the Chicago
dailies, discontinued its weekly edi-
tition because, with a circulation of
10000, it failed to pay the expense of
publication at ST. year. 1t was but
tritie larger than the other papers,
and being made up of matter from
the daily, cost nothing for the type
setting. Yet there are plenty of peo-
pie who think that the country paper,
with only small circulation COM
pared with the weekly Herald, can af-
ford to furnish their paper at ST. a
year. A country paper at 50 per an
mum is cheaper than wheat at so cents
bushel.-Montesano Vidette.
The Madisonville, (Ky.) Hustler
brings comfort when it says: The
country is in safe and saved condi-
ton. Everybody is learning some
thing about everything. The politi-
clans are teaching the farmers how to
till the land, while the tillers of the
soil ale giving instructions in states
manship. The doctors understand
the dry goods business, while the mer-
chants are helping to manage the
dairy. The teachers are giving les
sons to the lawyers, while the lawyers
in turn are instructing the women
how to manage their husbands. The
newspapers help to manage the gov
ernment, while the people are engaged
in telling the editor how to run his
Office. We all know just how any
business but our own should be run so
as to make it a great success"
THERE are evidences all along the
line of better times, says the Chicago
Inter-Ocean, and while there is little
hope of undoing the mischief done for
two years to come, yet the people are
assured that work of "tariff reform"
is effectually stopped. 1t is not un-
sound money that has brought dis
tress to the country; it is not plat
form of silver that has depleted and
impoverished the United States treas
ury, and closed manufactures and
sent laborers adrift, but the mischiev-
Gus tariff tinkering of experimenters.
The Cleveland Democracy would be
glad to divert attention from the ruin
they have made by laying the blame
upon the silver dollar But they will
fail. The land was prosperous under
republican rule as never before, when
silver and gold were alike honored, and
it would be prosperous today if wish
protection measures were in force. If
democrats and the goldbugs of every
class can succeed in making the peo-
pie believe that gold or silver standard
is the leading issue, they will have
thrown dust in the eyes of the people
and in the years to come they will
wake up to their mistake. AS far as
the Republican party is concerned, it
has only to stand up for the policy
and principles of all the years of the
past. Its great and leading principle
is protection to American industry,
and with that firm demand for gold
and silver and a paper dollar as good
as that of either metal
also number of other matters con-
nected with Mr. Lochren has never
been allowed to take any step of i'm
portance without first getting Secre-
tary Smiths approval, which deserve
congressional investigation.
