autumn to winter-or that they paid
little attention to weeks and months
but that they counted by holidays
and especially by those holidays which
were OF a jovial, hilarious nature in

After the Fourth of July was past
they counted forward to Halloween,

from Christmas to All Fools day.
And large part of their study and
planning between times was What
can we do next time that is new?"
They grew tired of all their old fun,
and it kept their brains on the stretch
To- think up new and exciting sports
suited TO the season
And so they were racking their wits
now for some novel joke to pcrpetrate
on the unwary on the first day OF
April. The ''unwary" meant, above
all. Tom Doddridge. the junk man, who
drove "A bony old horse tn a tumble

Tom was not overly bright, and the

They had striped his horse. and put

ought to have gced. and geed when he

question was:

ONE GOOD LAW.
Wherein the Late Congress 10 Entitled to
Credit.

Credit.
One good law of prime Importance Is
as much as any ordinary congress sue
cccds in placing TO its credit The first
two or three congresses, and perhaps
as many more during the epoch OF tho
civil wcr. undoubtedly accomplished
more under the urgency and spur OF
the times when they were sitting, Dot
most congresses have done less.
The congress which has just passed
from the stage has surpassed the aver
age 1t has enacted at least one law OF
prime importance-the new tariff law
While it did not make SO much progress
in the direction of free trade in franz
ing this law as had been expected by
most people. yet it did make decided
progress. 1t made distinct departure
from the protective policy which had
prevailed for thirty three years Dur
ing all those years there had been al.
most uninterrupted progress from pro-
lection to higher and higher protection
until the climax was reached in the
Mckinley act Of 1890.
The late congress not only called
halt upon this movement, but II began
march backward toward commercial
and industrial liberty. and it made q
good advance for first one. 1t put
the country in motion toward free
dom and the impulse which it gave will
not be lost That impulse may not
seem to be opcrativ: for the time be
ing. but visible results will be seer
again as soon as the country begins Il
perceive the beneficial effects Of the
greater measure Of freedom it now en-
joys. Then the march will be resumed
not to cease until this is as least as free
a country commercially as it was dur
ing the democratic days from 1857 y
1861.
II the late congress has done NJ

to credit for refusing to do many ba'

he should transform them into time

favor at the court. Curzon set about
his task with enthusiasm. and in the
almost incredibly short space OF eight
hours had dispatched wonderfully
constructed watch to the car. who was
so surprised and delighted at the work
that he sent for the maker and con

ALASKAN BOUNDARY

Citizen. of That Territory Are Greatly
Agitated Over the Question.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 21.-The citi-
zens of Alaska are greatly exercised
over the boundary line question and
propose to take steps in the matter with
out delay. They do not want to see what
they term the richest portions of the
United States, annexed to British COL
umbia, and say they will fight before
they will see it taken. The paramount
reason of renewed activity in the boun-
Diary line question is the brilliant out
look Of the mining properties along the
Yukon, and in the vicinity Of Juneau.
Prospectors are arriving in Juneau
almost hourly with news of rich
finds, and good feeling runs rife.
Every one is happy, and unite in
saying that Alaska is the richest coun-
try on the face Of the globe and for this
reason they desire to arouse sentiment
on the boundary line question ~
It is not uncommon to hear the ex-
preston, "Give us 10 leagues or we will
fight
They argue that England knows full
well the vast richness Of the country
and will leave no stone unturned to &C.

Tammany Representatives Say 1t 10 Eas-
lily Done-Let the Others Withdraw.
New YORK, Oct. 21.-The attempt OF
the Democratic state committee to har-
monte the regular and reform factions
OF the party on legislative candidates
will probably be abortive. Perry Bel
mont and his colleagues on the har-
mony committee spent eight hours in
conference with the opposing forces, bat
without result. Neither side showed
any inclination to make concessions. 1t
was finally decided that propositions
would be drawn up and submitted to
the harmony committee.
Tam1nany will offer to divide the leg
islative patronage with the State Democ-
racy, on numerical basis, but will de-
cline to concede the demand of the
Grace people for one-third of the candl-
dates for senators and assemblymen.
They'll Never Withdraw.
James J. Martin, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of Hammany, indi-
Gated the programme Of that organiza-
ton in an interview.
1.-The Tammany men who have been
nominated" he said, cannot be induced
to withdraw, nor would the conventions
which nominated them ever sanction
their withdrawal. The bosses Of the
State Democracy may be able to set up
and knock down candidates at will, but
you can't do any such thing in Tam
many Hail. When man wins NOM
ination in Tammany Hall he is entitled
to it, and nothing can take it away from
him. We think we can win in the dis
puted districts. The Grace people are
already discredited with the voters. No
Democrat is going to vote for State
Democracy or assembly or senatorial
candidate when he knows that the vote
is going to help elect a Republican
United States senator.
Hill Anxious for Harmony.
Senator Hill is anxious to bring
about harmony, but he evidently does
not quite understand the situation in
New York. Tammany cannot give way
to an organization that has been stab
bling the Democratic party in the back
for years. If the State Democracy is
really anxious to secure Democratic
majority in the next assembly and SEN
ate, let them withdraw all their candi-
dates and turn in and support the regu-
lar Democratic nominees. We will
guarantee to them whatever considera-
ton in the way Of patronage the numer-
ical strength of their organization en-
titles them to-"
