TIE INIMITABLE BURDETTE
He Tells Of the Good r1edcine-When to Be
Humorous

He Tells OF the Good nedicine-When to Be
Humorous
Music hall was well filled last evening by
a representative audience, which listened
for more than two hours to the inimitable
Bob Burdette tell about the Good Med-
cine. General Campbell, in few compli-
men.ary remarks, introduced the humorist,
who received warm welcome from the
audience.
The "Good Medcne'' MIR. Burdette adj
vocated is the philosophy of humor in the
midst of misfortune and adversely. He
said that there was nothing particularly
remarkable or necessary about man in
the midst OF plenty. and attended by sue
cess in his every effort, exhibiting an
| abundance of good nature. The fellow
who should be humorous and jocular is the
victim of bad luck. The latter should
hide his misfortunes in SO far as
his manner and demeaner are concerned.
He should not unload his sorrow sson
the world, for the world has enough with
out it. There are no new jokes and it is
the very old jokes that men enjoy most,
for the longer people know a joke the bet
ter they like it. The humorist contended
that the jokes that are best liked are those
that involve some kind of cruelty or suf-
fering The incident of person getting
out of bed in the darkness of night and
stepping on the business end of a tack will
excite laughter in those who hear it; the
victim himself will later laugh about it,
but the real time for him to laugh, if it is
such good joke. is when the af-
fair happens. There are two days
about which Mr.. Burdette said
he never worried, yesterday, beyond
which he had lost control, and the deeds of
which he could not recall, and tomorrow
which, equally with yesterday. is more
than he can grapple with. Thus. he said,
he left himself very little margin for worry.
Every family, he said, should have one
person to do all the worry ing, and thus
leave the others free to wrestle with the
events of the day.
Mr.. Burdette told stories comical to the
last degree, and relieved his humor with
bits of bright eloquence and touching
pathos. From the first TO the last word
his listeners were interested and amused.

THE GRAND JURY

The grand jury of 1895 has now be-
come subject Of history. While it
did not fire any rivers or overturn any
mountains, it did some good work and
is worthy a good measure of commen-
dation. 1t may not have been as radical
in action as the circumstances war
ranted, but it was more radical than
the average body of the kind. On the
whole, the effect of its labors is bound
to be wholesome and show itself in the
introduction into the public offices Of
this county of better methods and
stricter accounting.
It's final report covering the condi-
tion and management of the m unicipal
government is great deal more sug-
gestive than it is condemnatory. The
report shows that the work Of the jury
in the municipal field has not been of
the probing order. 1t stopped with the
inspection of books of account and
left undone the task of investigation
into the causes for obvious extrava-
gance and inetficisncy. The amount
of time required in the consideration
of county government affairs may be
responsible for the superficial atten-
tion bestowed on those OF the munich
pal government. But the report GER
tainly contained an abundance of ex-
cellent recommendations that should
meet with speedy adoption.
The developments of the Lowry
trial will justify the belief that more
than one indictment might have we'll
been brought in connection with the
misappropristion of public funds in
the office Of the county clerk. They
show the Importance of honest and in
telligent investigation at frequent in
tervals by grand jury, and accentu-
ate the general regret felt that the jury
just discharged did not receive more
competent and energetic legal assist
ance than was furnished it by the dis.
trict attorneys office. As far as the
jury went it did excellent work, but it
did not go far enough by considerable.
But for what it has done let the public
be thankful like some of its prede-
cessors. it might have done a great
deal less.

MCKINLEY ON FINANCE

Major Mckinley is apparently in
favor of an adjustable plank on the
financial question in the next national
Republican platform-the kind Of
plank that will suit the requirements
of popular feeling in any section of the
union. He says that the Republican
party islands now, as ever, for honest
money" This is about as explicit and
definite as request for a piece of
chalk. Who and where is the man
who does not stand for "hon-
est money!" Who would plead
guilty to standing for dishonest money?
The silver men, the gold standard
people, the green hackers, the Demo-
Gratis, the Republicans. the Populists
and the Prohibitionists of every shade
and degree stand for "honest money"
But the question is, what in Samuel
Hill is 'honest money!" We know
what Grover Cleveland, John G. Car
lisle, Henry NJ Teller, John B. Weaver,
and even Coxey,. consider "honest
money" but where is the man, woman
or child who has heard, at least OF re-
cent years, William the tariff ex-
plain fully, freely and frankly what he
believes to be honest money?
Mckinley says the Republican party
"can be relied upon in the future, as in
the past. to supply the country with
the best money ever known-gold sil-
yer and psper-good the world over.''
If the apostle Of trade restriction
had appealed to the future alone his
case would be safer, but his draft on
the past is peculiarly unfortunate for
himself and his party. The financial
system which endures as the
product of his party's past. and
to parts of which he has given
his own vote and spoken endorsement,
with it's sl54,000,000 in useless silver
purchases, its notes that are contin.
ually redeemed but never paid, and it's
burdensome bond issues. hardly testi-
fies to the possession of the kind of Saga
city that would warrant a renewal of
pu b ic confidence.

NEXT PROTECTIVE TARIFF

In his ne-psrt- Washington and nine
parts s-McKinley address delivered on
February % last, the author of the
"culminating tariff atrocity" felt it in
cumbent on him to answer the oft re-
pested query as to how high the next
Republican tariff will be; he did so as
follows:
ton than by an illustration of Mr.. Lin
coins. Some one asked him how long
mans legs ought to be. He said: That's
a very serious question, and | have given
much thought to 1t great many times.
Some should be longer and some shorter.
But want to tell you that a mans legs
ought always to be long enough to reach
from his body to the ground And so
tall you, my inquirng free trade friend.
that the legs of the next Republican tariff
law will be long enough to firmly support
the American body polite"
This explanation is about as lucid
and definite as some he has given of
his views on the money question and it
is we'll sized up in an editorial in the
New York World, which reads thus:
This is not an honest answer. 1t is not
even an ingenious dodge, After thirty-f1ve
years experimentation with high protect
i've tariffs the chief champion of the sys-
tenn ought to know how high it needs to be
to Support the American body polite"
The average duty under the present law
during the last fiscal year was 4l.75 per
cent. This is nearly ten points higher
than the Morrill, war tariff of 1860. 1t Is
almost exactly the average under tho he
publican commissions tariff in 1854,
which was Al 81 per cent. 1t is fraction
higher than the average under the debt
paying tariff of l S72. which was 4l.35 per
cent. And it is but 6.91 below the aver
age of that highest and most abominable
of all tariffs-the one which the Republ-
can campaign contributors made and had
Mckinley stand sponsor for.
The question is, are not the present
"legs." which are as high as the Repubh-
can party provided twelve years ago and
twenty-four years ago, long enough now?
Do our ''infant industries require to have
their ''legs" longer the older they grow?
If the Republicans wan to make the
presidential campaign on that issue
they ought to be accommodated.
