ANOTHER COLONY" FAILS.

The fate of the Alabama negroes who
went to Mexico to found a colony OF
their own differs only in degree from
that of many other bodies of men and
women who started out upon largely
similar missions. The region they were
induced to occupy had been painted by
promoters as little short of perfect. The
climate has been described as gentle and
healthful, the soil as rich and easily
TILED and the prospective neighbors as
peaceful and law-abiding. At least a
competency of this worlds goods was
there to be acquired by every thrifty
person who had the courage to take
up residence there and set himself re.so-
sute!y to the task.
The present condition of the misguid-
ed coionists shows how illusive their
hopes at starting were. Nothing is said
of the character among whom the people
among whom the colonsts proposed to
make their new homes. IT Is possible
these were as they had been represented,
although even this Is far from certain.
But the soil, the climate and other con-
ditlons were suyh as to prove only too
speedily that Mexico was no place for
the co,onists. start for home was
made by 400 OF their number, but upon
their arrival in Texas IT'S of them were

who had given much thought to the
subject that the solution of the Southern

In colonization There are within the
United States plenty of localities to which
he can move and prosper more than at
home. But all ventures in that direction
in strange lands and among strange peo-
pies are almost certain to prove danger
ous and disappointing. Those who stay
at home, improving their business and
educational opportunities whenever pos
s!be, thrive more than those who chase
rainbows lin distant countries, and they
escape at the same time the dangers
of malad!es often strange in character
and hence in treatment.

SENATOR WHALE TALKS.

From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
Senator McIiale was in the city today on
his way to his home at Shakopee. The
senator foresees terrible struggle coming
on the financial question, the extremes of
which will be free and unrestricted coinage
of silver regardless of consequences, and
the single gold standard, equally reckless
of disaster to the country in the continued
contraction Of prices for productions and
increase in the purchasing power of the
contract medium, gold. In such struggle
the safety of the country, the senator
holds is in the conservative middle
ground, which will enlarge money func-
tons, release restricted trade, and at the
the measure of values, the senator says
will certainly enhance credit and set bust
ness going. Where this is going to land u.s.
with regard to parties and party lines, the
senator does not say, and says he cares lit
tie. But it is certain that there is adiffer-
ence, at this time, between the old parties
on the question of money, of the federal
legislation has resulted in building up, as
well as in the control of the lawmaking of
the people by corporate and monopolistic
influences.
In classification, therefore. Senator Nc
Hale would seem to be about one-half a
silver man and good deal of Populist on
all except their extremesisms.

The Iowa Senator Interviewed on
Various Subjects.
Pittsburg, Pa, April Ex-senator
William B. Allison, of Iowa, arrived in
this city today, and will be one of the
prominent guests of honor at the ban
quet of the Americas club tonight in
honor of Gen. Grants birthday. The SEN
ator had not read of the action taken by
the League of Republican clubs Of Iowa
yesterday He declined to discuss his
possible candidacy for the presidency in
1896. Talking on the silver question
Senator Allison said:
I'm the West the people are general
for such use Of silver as will maintain
that metal and gold together. The Re-
publicans are not for the free coinage Of
silver as rule, and | believe the Demo-
Gratis are divided on the subject"
Asked about President Cleveland's for
egin policy, Mr.. Allison said he had no
no time to discuss it. Referring to Mr..
Cleveland's recent letter to the Chicago
committee on sound money, Mr.. Allison
said: when a man says he is for sound
money, that don't mean anything. Even
the Populist will tell you he is for sound
money, and 1 have not yet been able to
find out what Mr.. Cleveland wants. l
thought after reading his letter to the
committee of Chicago gentlemen that he
was gold man, but when his secretary
of agriculture came out for gold the
president Immediately took him over his
knee and spanked him for his sentiments
when, no doubt, the secretary thought
he was only vOicing the sentiments ex-
pressed in the presidents letter Put
ting this and that together l cannot tell
where the president stands"

A LAUGH IN CHURCH.
She sat on a sliding cushion,

She sat on sliding cushion,
The dear wee woman of four;
Her feet in their shiny slippers
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good; she had promised;
And SO, with her big brown eyes.
She stared at the meeting house windows,
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought Of the honey bees
Droning away in the blossoms
That whitened- the cherry trees.
She thought of the broken basket,
Where curled in d dusky heap,
Three sleek. round puppies, with fringy
ears,
Lay Struggled and fast asleep
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle,
Such queer little hearts to beat
Such swift round tongues to kiss you
Such sprawling cushiony feet.
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin,
And cold wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips,
So quick that she could not catch 1t
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered ''Bless the childv'
AS each one walked from nap,
But the dear wee woman hid her face
For shame, in her mothers lap.

Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-
