the time the moon was only in her second

examined the instrument and found that

car loads of Kansas City merchants, who
went away one time on an excursion,

was to go by a different route, and the
cars separated at an early hour in the
morning when everybody was asleep,
except Gene Field, who was along TO
write up the trip. just before the cars
parted company he carried all the shoes
from one sleeper into the other and care
fully exchanged them. Then he took the
shoes from the sleeper that had a double
supply and carried them into the sleeper
where nobody had any shoes. The next
morning there was a blue streak two
ways across Kansas Every man in both
sleepers was miles away from his own
shoes.

From the Philadelphia Record Dem)

If the republicans in the next congress
shall sincerely desire to increase the rev
enues from customs without disturbing
only to change the 40 per cent ad valo-
rem duty on raw sugar to a specific duty
of l cent a pound. This would increase
the annual revenue not less than $1,000
900, without increasing in the slightest de-
gree the cost of sugar to American con-
sumers. In the Fifty-third congress the
republicans truthfully asserted that the
duty on sugar should be specific in order
to protect the public revenues from for
eign undervaluations. They have now an
opportunity to make good their profess
sions. But. if introduced into congress-
the proposition to change the sugar duty
should be passed, and not made a weapon
to blackmail the sugar trust. A specific
duty, as proposed, on sugar would take
the sugar trust permanently out of the
Washington lobby

The sound money issue involved in the
elections of last week was the question
whether the United States government

ing the cooperation of any other ma
ton. The people decided that that prop
osition was an unwise one. They had
months and months of time in which to
ponder the ques ton. They had had news
papers. periodicals, books, pamphlets, ETC.
crowded with facts and figures on the
subject. Above all, they had had the
greatest of all the means of reaching the
human heart and human brain-the liv-
ing voice We say that after a full dis
cussion of what is styled free silver" the
voters decided against it. The opposition
to it has grown gradually but it was
healthy growth; for the people followed up
the arguments of their writers and speak
ers and when they rendered their verdict
it was an intelligent one. They knew
what they We're doing.

The Rev. Joseph Speers, of Brentwood,
L. l., has given up his church, and for
what appears to be very good reasons. The
church has been paying him about 800
year, and some of the congregation ex-
pected him to dress like a dude on that
salary every day Of the week. In order to
make ends meet in his living expenses.
Mr.. Speers found it necessary to dig in a
garden, to grub for clans. and throw
cast-net for shrimp. and he really liked
to do these things When he went garden
digging or clam hunting he would put on
denim overalls. tie a bandanna handker-
chief around his neck and don a seedy
SLOUGH hat. Members of the congregation
thought he ought to keep on his long
tailed coat and clerical tie all Of the time.
even while clam hunting. Mr.. Speers said
if the salary were Increased so as to pay
the extra cost of the clothes it would be
agreeable 10 him to hunt CLANS in a cler-
zeal chol1er But the congregation wouldn't
raise the wages, or be less critical with re-
gard to his personal appearance while out
of the pulpit. So he gave up the job.
