SECRETARY MORTON has more than once shown that his ideas on public affairs are of the good, old Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson sort of democracy. He has just given another instance of it. Some time ago he said to newspaper man in regard to a proposition to pay 8 government bounty on agricultural products: "If it will pay to raise and export agricultural products there is no bounty needed. And if it will not pay to raise and export agri- cultural products no bounty should be given" This did not please the editor of the New York periodical for whom the in- terview was secured. He fixed up an an- swer to the SC cretary's words and this week Mir Morton received a proof of it. In r,ply Secretary Morton has written him paragraph, which is a nutshell state- msnt of the whole bounty question, is taken: Be kind enough to explain to your readers how the bounty is to be raised to pay the producer of agricultural pro- ducts for his exports. except by taxation upon the people. Has the government of the United States a single dollar that is not taken from the pockets of it's citizens by means of taxation?" The bounty system is merely modern application of ''rob- bing Peter to pay Paul. and there is nc doubt of it's being class legislation of the most vicious kind. although it is difficult to convince those temporarily benefited that it is.

A Question of Identity.

The proprietor of small summer re- sort hotel in Virginia, as Star man was told, has more or less trouble with his colored neighbors, who have their weaknesses, as who of us have not? One day Uncle Sam came up with six nice chickens to sell.
 ''How much are theyP" inquired the landlord.
 "One dollar fer de lot, boss"
 The landlord looked them over care fully, not to say suspiciously.
 "Ain't these the same chickens bought last week." he inquired.
 "Not dat knows on, boss, " replied the old man, just little disturbed. ''Has you been losin any poultry here latelyy'
 "I have, and lost these. Did you steal them?''
 "Fo' de Lawd, no sah, boss; deed I didn't.'' The landlord was not in an argument ative mood.
 "Well, all I've got to say is they are mine, and you can give them up or go to jail, whichever you choose.
 "But didn't steal dem bullets, boss,' insisted the old man. "You heard what said, "was all the landlord had to say. Uncle Sam laid the chickens down on the ground and began scratching his head
 1T didn't steal dem chickens, an I doan wanter go to jail, he said, with great de1iberation. The landlord waited
 '1 spec, boss,'' he proceeded slowly, "you better done take um. Hain't no tellin how come by um.

DR. TANNER SUSPENDED.
Exciting Scene In the English House of
 Commons.


 LONDON, Aug. 16.--After the reading of the queens speech Sir William Har- court remarked in regard to Ireland that the late government unfortunately was unable to settle the great question in con- nection with that country. Ireland was never more peaceful than now, and was the government wise in adjourning for six months without expressing its inten- tions in this matter?
 MT. Balfour said there did not appear to be any pressing anxiety to bring for ward Irish lard legislation before the next session. 1t must be dealt with then.
 John Dillon said he feared that the om- inous silence of the government would undo the life work of Parnell, who brought the Irish people to believe that home rule could be won on the floor of that house.
 MT. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, recognized MT. Redmond's moderate tone, but reminded him of the great difference between the state of things now and in 1886. His reports showed that the har- vests were good in every district of Ire land, and that there was no heavy fall in prices in the last two years. Therefor, the land question was not urgent. Regarding the massacres of missionaries at Kucheng, Lord Salisbury said: "There is every reason to believe that the Chinese government is sincerely desirous of pun ishing the perpetrators of tho outrage and those who connived at it. Should any lukewarmness become discernible, it will become our duty to supply its defect. With respect to Armenia, we have accepted the policy which our predecessors initiated, and our efforts will be directed to obtain ing an adequate guarantee for the carry ing out of reform.''
 Timothy Harrington declared that the Liberal party had fled from home rule, whereupon Dr. Charles K. D. Tanner shouted, "A lier'
 Loud and indignant cries of "Order!' were heard from both sides of the house. Dr. Tanner, declining to withdraw the expression, the speaker named him. The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secreta- ry of state for the colonies moved that Dr. Tanner be suspended. A division was called for, but Dr. Tanner failed to find a teller, and the speaker declared the motion carried.
 Dr. Tanner shouted that he would with | draw if he were directed to do so from the chair. Upon retiring he made a courtly bow and exclaimed:
 1T have greater pleasure in leaving than I ever had in entering this dirty house." Then, pointing to the treasury bench, | he shouted, "Judas!'
 This was repeated four times. Arrived | at the door, he tried to turn back, but | was prevented by the officials.

A Solution Found.

The Boston Traveller says that a few weeks ago a Maine young man bought Q pair of socks containing note saying the writer was an employee of the Kenosha (Wis.) knitting works and wanted good husband. She gave her name and requested the buyer, if an unmarried man, to write with view to matrimony. The young man who found the note considered the matter in all its phases and decided to write to the girl. He did. Awaiting the answer with considerable anxiety he was at last rewarded with a curt letter stating that the girl was now the mother of two chi ldren and had been married four years, and the letter he had answered had been written ever so long ago. It was '"sock dollager," and the young man hunted for solution. He found it. The merchant of whom he bought the socks doesn't advertise.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The state de- partment has received dispatch from Minister Terrell in Turkey stating that for the past three months he has been urg ing the Turkish authorities to permit an investigation of the circumstances of the death of Lenz, the bicyclist killed by the Kurds.
 Mir. Terrell says that in order to comply with the request of MT. Sachrleben that he be given authority to search the resi- dences of the Kurds for relics of the bi- cyclist and proofs of his death an army would be necessary. These Kurds live in the hills and mountains and would not permit stranger and foreigner to enter their houses, even though armed with au- thority of the Turkish government.
 MT. Terrell says that he expects to se- cure a guard of Turkish troops, who will accompany Sachtleben into the country of the Kurds for the purpose of recovering the remains of LenZ.

poral in the last three of six heats. This race is famous for the quality of the con- tests it has produced, and though it has never been won easily the field of starters that scored in the first heat was composed of better horses than ever before started for the big purse, and the race they trotted was the best in the history of the event. The owner of The Corporal, l.. E. Morse, Columbus, Neb., tells The Horseman that the horse was bred by Marin Brown, who bred the dam to Hanlbletonian Prince when living at Waukegan, Ills, in 1888. He enigrated to Nebraska, set- tling in Osceola, where The Corporal was foaled the next spring. He was not bro- ken to harness until 1893. He developed a vicious disposition, and then, showing a good deal of natural speed, was Strained Q little and started in a county fair race at Osceola, which he won, taking a record of 2:35L, and his present owner, MT. Morse, bought him that day. Last season he start ed but twice, both times at Omaha, dur ing the September meeting, winning on each occasion. This year he has started several times, winning every heat he took part in until he reached Detroit, where he caught a slight cold. MT. Morse states that he was not given as much work as he needed on account of the cold and the in jury and did not commence to trot in tho M. and M. until after Geers got up behind him.
