dena Whist club last evening. and CON
sequently the tournament was not form

The Chicago council members who re-
manned at Milwaukee to attend the semi
centennial banquet, smile every time they
think of one of the aldermen of the Cream
city, says the Chicago Chronicle He is
a little man with a serious face and a
glittering eye. The cigars passed around
after the menu had been exhausted were
wrapped in gold foil, and presented an
imposing appearance. This alderman took
one, and after observing its size and bril-
Eancy he put the small end in his mouth
and bit it off. Then, without removing
the foil he took a taper from the hands
of waiter and set fire to the semi-cen-
tennial torch, and proceeded to smoke
with the air of a man who is at peace with
all the world.
The cigar burned slowly and it emitted
an odor which would have caused a sus-
picion of fire IN the room if more than
half the guests had not seen the cause
The alderman, however, was apparently
oblivious of the fact that he was doing
something that was making him the cvn-
osure of all eyes and he continued to puff
away at the golden cigar with the calm
dignity which soon reduced it to a stump
And even then, though there were other
cigars, the Milwaukee alderman chung to
his torch, and it emitted the same odor
of burning gold foil that is as disagree
able as it is pungent The Chicago alder
men smiled, and thought that Milwaukee
was nice place, while the Milwaukee
colleagues said nothing until they got the
offender of aldermanic dignity out in the
street after the banquet was over

He Heat the Town.

The whistle footed a warning note, the
bell rang, and the colonel cordially shook

from the postofiice, q yellow paper in his
hand. which he waved dramatically over
his head.

shall; but the conductor and engineer id
not hear and the train moved on.
Jump, you scOundreli jump again
yelled Hank, at the same time drawing his
gun The coloneis only answer was a
polite wave of the hand. Then Hank took
snap shot at the fast departing train,
and-Would you believe it2-that little old
man whipped out two pistols from some
where, quick as a wink. and for few
moments the way the bullets Whlstled
about the heads of the crowd along the
track was something wonderful. And as
the train grew smaller and smaller in ITS
straightway course over the prairie, the
last act of the lone passenger on the rear
platform was TO wave white nandker-
chief toward the little city of Lariat
and disappear within the car.
The town marshal replaced his gun in
his nip pocket, turning sadly away. Dear
to repeated inquiries as to the meaning
of il all, he disappeared within the edito-
rial sanctum; for in the midst OF all eL-
element he still remembered that eX-oI-
ficio. he was an editor, and-he was both
thrifty and a cautious man.
An hour later another edition OF the
Exponent appeared. double loaded, as if
in mourning and the copies sold for a
dollar apiece. The editorial was brief and
to the point:
From a telegram received only too late
by cur town marshal. because of the ne
cessity of forwarding il by mail from
Crouch's, it appears that our late dlstin-
pushed visitor Stemble, was none other
than the well known desperate and con-
fidence man, Ike Rogers, lately a fugi-
tive from the Black Hills. 1t is painful
TO be forced to state that the greenbacks
which Rogers SO generously distributed
while in Lariat are clever counterfeits,
in exchange for which he carried away
thousands of dollars of our citizens earn

The Venezuela boundary commission
will not go to Venezuela to make its in
vestigation. No information in respect
to the boundary could be obtained in
Venezuela that cannot be had in Wash
ington. The Venezuelan government has
all the documents that Spain possessed,
showing the Venezuelan boundaries, and
the data respecting Hollands claim to
what is now British Guiana can easily be
obtained from Holland.
Both in Washington and London the
thought is thrown out that the boundary
dispute viii be settled by an agreement
between Venezuela and Great Britain be-
fore the commissions work is concluded.
1t is to be hoped that this thought has a
solid foundation. The people of both this
country and Great Britain would be glad
to have the boundary matter settled with
out a resort to arms.

So far as has come under our obser-
walton only four of the great daily news
papers of the country have expressed
themselves as opposed to the Presidents
foreign policy. These papers are the New
York World, the New York Journal Of
Commerce, the New York Post, and the
Boston Herald. 1t was not to be suppos-
ed that the press of the country would
be unanimous upon the question. But
the detection is very slight. when com
pared with the number of great papers
in the country.

The oue.,ion Of The Hour.


The question that demands immediate
attention from congress is not that re-
lating to the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute. but that which pertains to the gov
ernment's financial condition. The fnan-
cial question was brought to the atten-
ton Of congress so forcibly on Friday
that il is not probable that there will be
a holiday recess. Congress will remain in
session, ready at any moment 10 act
upon any measure that may come from
the committees which have charge Of
financial matters.
Already the activity Of the silverites is
apparent. They are prepared TO embar-
rass the government to any extent in
order to force the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. Senator Vest has in
trodueed a resolution to coin the silver
bullion in the treasury and use the coin
in cancelling the treasury notes and
greenbacks, and Senator Butler has a res
olution to authorize the payment of the
interest on the government bonds in gold
as long as gold and silver remain at a
parity. and then to pay it in silver.
No legislation making concessions TO
silver can get through the House, and if
it could it would not receive the approval
of the President The republican party
would like to get rid of the silver issue,
but does. not dare to do one thing that
would tend to bring this country to a sill
yer basis
But, on the other hand. it is afraid
to do anything in behalf of sound
money. In our dispatches this morning
a leading republican is quoted as saying
that the republicans have decided upon
their plan for financial legislation-that
the President has called for more money,
and they will give it to him. by raising the
tariff, particularly on articles imported
from England.
The President has not called for more
money. The treasury is not in need of
money. What the President wants is
gold-sufficient gold to enable him to
keep the currency sound. The republi-
cans know what is needed, but they
haven't the courage to provide it, They
know very well that if twice the revenue
that is required were provided the treas
ury would be in no better fix than it now
is TO maintain gold payments.
Either for the purpose of shaking our
determination to maintain the Monroe
doctrine, or because there is genuine fear
of war, England is sending back to our
market vast quantities of our securities.
These securities are bought by our own
people because they get them much be-
low their real worth. They have to be
paid for in gold. and the gold is being
drawn from the treasury. To what an
extent our securities will be sent home by
foreign holders of them it is impossible
to say, but enough have been sent already
to make heavy demands upon our gold.
1t is pity the republicans in congress
haven't the courage to do what they know
ought to be done. What they propose to
do win give no relief, nor will it remove
from them the responsibility of letting
the country be forced to silver basis,
If silver recommendation should be the re-
suit of the failure to provide gold for the
treasury's needs or the refusal to with
draw the greenbacks, by means of which
the treasury's gold is depleted.

The frequency with which it is reported
that Martinez Campos is DESTROYS Of re-
firing from the complementary of Gu
ba, and the fact that these reports al
most invariably come from Havana or
Madrid, lead to the conclusion that there
must be great deal of dissatisfaction
somewhere with regard to the way the
Spanish interests in Cuba are being
managed. If campos is not anxious to
get cut, then it must be that the Spanish
authorities are anxious for him TO get

lingo.

lingo and jingoism are mentioned daily
in the newspapers and in conversation.
Generally speaking, jingoism is under
stood to mean, with regard to
the foreign policy of the gov
eminent, pretty much what bum
combe means with regard to individual
affairs. Mr. Richard H, Dana of Boston,
in speaking of the Presidents message a
day or two ago, said: "Jingoism. as usu-
ally applied, means a high and mighty
attitude towards a small country, or
certain amount of wild talk-wild and
meaningless talk-against a great one"
President Hyde of Bowdoin College de-
fined jingoism to mean a dishonest and
mischievous device for binding the eyes
of the people to the real issues of the
hour and the real consequences of the
issue. The London Spectator says lingo
is one who busters for war for political
effect, without really intending to fight,
or who intends to have the fighting done
by somebody else if matters come to
crisis. These authorities are enough to
make plain the meaning of the word lingo.
English origin, and came into use during
the Beaconsfeld regime in England, from
1874 to 1850. After the war between Rus
STA and Turkey in 1SS7-SS, England took
the lead in insisting that there be a re-
vision of the treaty of San Stefano, and
caused the calling together of the inter-
national conference known as the Berlin
| Congress. at which the whole eastern
] question and the relations of Bulgaria,
Roumania, Servia and other nations were
! established upon basis that has proved
satisfactory up to the present time. To
accomplish its ends, the British govern
ment was obliged to assume a warlike
attitude toward Russia. and during the
agitation which followed. a topical song
became very popular in England. part
Of the song ran as follows: I'VE don't
want TO fight; but. By lingo. If we do,
we've got the ships. we've got the men.
we've got the money too"

A new plague is now reported among the
Spanish soldiers in Cuba, namely "bls,k
smallpox" The disease is said to be very
virulent and dangerous. 1t was imported
from Africa on the transports used for
carrying the recruits for the Spanish army
from the penal colonies. 1t is said the
fatalities from the complaint have aver
aged as high as IS per cent. of those at
tackled with it. In that case, the Cubans
have another powerful ally to help them
in their struggle.
