High and this is the third time he has

tartan, big, hrainy Thomas b. Becd of
Maine The mention of Mr. Reed 5
name was greeted with yociferous ap-
plause The audience rose and cheered,

1t Is unpleasant to learn that the
receipts for the two months of the cur
rent fiscal year are less than those for
the same two months of the last
fiscal year, by about seventeen and a
quarter millions; also that the expendi-
lures exceeded those Of last year for the
same time by nearly three millions, or to
be exact $2,S3l, 029 Last month the
expenditures were S32, 5SS 1874 while the
receipts were only S2a, 952, SOB. 1t cannot
be agreeable for the people to learn these
facts although there Is nothing surprising
about them in the light of the experience
of the past year. Neither is there ground
for doubling them, or at least entertain
ing any doubt but what they are as favo
rable as they can be made, for they are
found In the official statement of the
treasury department.
And yet the Democratic editor contin
ues to tell us what bonoiiocnt tariff law
We have, what great improvement it Is
upon that under a Republican admtnis
tration when receipts met expenditures
and left little over toward paying the
debt, when issuing now .,honds was mot
thought of and the preservation Of our
national credit was not in the hands OF a
cosmopolitan syndicate enriching itself
to the extent of fifteen or twenty millions
at the country's expense, Notwithstand-
ing all these things they continue to tell
us what grand tariff law it is, rcprovin 9
us In no mild terms for not being jubi-
liant under its operations.
Again 1t is noticeable that in discuss
ing it they carefully esohew any refer
ence to these facts and it appears from
the latest evidence that they have care
fully avoided all facts, substituting sim
ply statements. Moreover these state
ments will not bear Investigation. Those
of the New York World and Post appea,
ridiculous in the light of evidence which
the New York Press has collected The,

ROosEvELT'S FAMOUS GRIZZLY.
To Get Him the Commissioner Had to
Threaten a Cowboy.

1t was in 1884 that Roosevelt won fame
by shooting a grizzly bear that weighed
/, 200 pounds, under decidedly interesting
circumstances, in the wilds of Dakota.
Roosevelt had ranch out there at that
time says the New York Times, and had
done some practical ranching. One MORN
ing, with his most trustworthy cowboy,
the millionaire rancher went out to look
for bear.
As they were riding along quietly the
cowboy called Rooseyelts attention to n
singular rock formation, and the two drew
rein and looked at it with interest. Whiio
thcy were gazing the grovl Of bear was
heard, and directly the beast thrust his
ugly nose over the top of the rock. The
rifles of both men went to their shoulders
in an instant, but just as the cowboy was
about to pull the trigger his employer
yelled at him.
"Here, dash youl' shouted Roosevelt.
Don't you shoot that bearl That my
bear I'll shoot you if you shoot him!'
The cowboy was between Roosevelt and
the bear, and while the man had never be-
fore seen anything in Roosevelt to justify
the notion he would shoot a human being
there was something in the tone of the
words he uttered that made the cowboy
stop and look over his shoulder. The muz-
zle of Roosevclt's rifle was not many feet
from the cowboys eyes. 1t looked very
ugly, and the cowboys rifle was lowered
despite the fact that such action was dan
gerous, for the bear was slowly approach
ing him, with his mouth wide open, show
ing two rows of sharp, white teeth.
Fortunately for both Rooscvelts aim
was good, as it usually is, and the bear was
straightway a piece of meat. Then the
cowboy explained to his employer that he
had been in such haste to shoot solely be
cause if he waited the bear might get the
best of both of them. This made Roose-
welt very contrite, and he not only apollo
gized profusely, but presented the cowboy
with a silver knotted winchester rifle, a
pair of holster pistols and pair Of cordu-
roy brooches, the like of which had never
before been seen in that part of the coun-
try.

has used on his land, in the last two
years, 100 cords of dressing and seven
tons Of phosphate. His crops this year
were three acres of beans, four acres DO
tatoes, one acre corn, two and one-half
acres buokwheat, five acres barley, and
twenty acres of oats, all of which have
yielded handsomely. Very little hand

AMERICAN NATIONALITY.
Before the Revolution the True Sentiment
Was Little known.

Prior to the war of the Revolution the
sentiment of American nationality can
scarcely be said to have existed. The his
tory of the colonies down to the time of
resistance to imperial taxation shows
hardly trace of such a sentiment. Penn
sylvanians were content to be Pennsylva-
mans; New Workers to be New Workers;
Virginians to be Nirginians; Carolinians
to be Carolinians. Even without any real
and strong drawing toward a common
form of government, we might fairly have
looked in the history of this time for at
least some prophecy of AmercaniSm 1t
might have been the dream OF poets, the
theme of orators or at least the toast OF
students, like German unity from 1915 to
1866 But we do not find so much as this.
Neither for practical nor for sentimental
reasons did the union Of the American col
onics appear thing practically to be de
sired.
1t is not necessary TO take time to refer
to the differences of history aud political
organization, tho differences Of race, of
speech and of religious belief, the differ
ences of social ideas and customs and
modes of living which tended to keep the
colonies apart The imminence of hostili
ties with the mother country sufficed to
draw the colonies together for the purposes
of a common resistance and acts were
done and DEGREES and declarations were
made and pledges and promises Were Civ
en- in 1874 and 1775 which looked toward
a permanent union of the insurgent colo
MES ard which doubtless had Il certain
effect in impressing the public mind favor
ably to that result. The momentous Decla-
ration Of Independence in the midycar OF
1916 must have had q still greater in1u-
ence in convincing the public mind that,
in the words OF benjamin Franklin, "all
must hang together, or they would hang
separately, and the fortunes Of war, some
times joyful, but more commonly painful,
during tho Eve following years undoubt
eddy produced not little Of true Ameri
can sentiment.
Common experience of that sort, wheth
er of victory or defeat, must it would
seem, have a great power to generate in
stinots and feelings of common interests
and a common destiny. Indeed had there
been no intermediate stage before the for
nation of the constitution, during which
the fceblcncsS of the ties formed in war for
the purposes of common resistance to the
mother country wore painfully demon
stratcd, we should naturally have assumed
that the sense of American nationality
was developed during the Revolution to
some very high point. Forum.
