The great man was so great that he
held thirty million two-legged animals
in his left hand and thlrty-five million
in his right, in perfect balance. At the
same time a great eagle appeared at
Washington. When the eagle spread
out mis- wings they touched Boston and
San Francisco at the same time. The
great man took the great bird on his
hands and named the great eagle Con
gress." He decided to break the eagle
to be a gentle servant for his private
service In his boundless wisdom he
decided not to use physical force but
to starve nearly to death, and it was n
success. The great man then said,
my little country is not fit for great
man; guess l will take trip to Jupiter
and give that little globe an object les
son, and my eagle will fetch me there"
He then cut large piece Of meat out OF
farmers heap, put the meat on the
point Of his sword, seated himself on
tho eagles neck, holding the sword in
his right hand, with the meat twelve
inches ahead of the birds head, and a
black-snake in his left hand, whipping
the bird all the time in order to make
his meat tender The eagle, flying for
the meat, shot through the air like a
cannon ball. AS the air was full of
road dust from below and meteor dust
from above, the great mans eyes be
came Of no account. For the sake Of
producing light he put gold piece in
his mouth, but still the Egyptian dark
ness prevailed; he then swore by his
greatness that gold was of no account
at Jupiter. Presently the eagle col
lided with a great wall, and the great
man touched solid ground, but dark
ness still prevailed. where am l at?
Perhaps in hades! I desire a better

my party, and l took my nation by the

man here" Presently the rich man
appeared, plated with gold and powder
ed with diamonds. Seeing little ami

low speck in its mouth, he picked 1t
up with his right hand and put it in
the palm of his left, looked at it but

this left no room for the bimetallic
party. arT {1g3AEy
Our national committee by majority
vote Of those present, decided, y last
week, at its meeting in st. Louis, to ask
those desiring financial reform but who
are not ready as yet to join the peoples
party, to hold national convention at
same time and place as the popullst
convention with the view of getting to-
gether. 9s 81
Months ago this paper suggested that
the silver men of the old parties form a
party, If they could not come to. us, ap-
point their county, state and national
committees and call a convention at
same time and place as the populist
convention, and expressed the belief
that the two bodies would agree. It
would seem that we had no room for
complaint at the committees action.
But the silver men have not withdrawn
from the old parties. They have not
formed state organizations. It is pos
sible that the bimetalltc convention
will have no constituency. That the
delegates will not be appointed by the
people. That the bimetalllc convention
will represent very few people. That
1t will simply serve to give the one
| plank men strength much larger than
the one plank sentiment, in case the
two bodies go together, and that with
part of the populist convention and all
of the bimetallic, they will be able to
dictate platform and candidates.
On the other hand there may be a
bolt from the republican convention
and there is pretty sure to be one from
the democratic convention, and it may
turn out that the bimetallic convention
will represent millions of voters. We
hope so. But let popullsts bear in mind
that Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty"

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY sTARs9
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery

an attempt 10 oOibo tHo NNVHS "JStOAy
- aH,r OF Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds OF Passage"
the ChautauQuan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer. sheqwill have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge OF The unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time in our region,
even when the divisions Of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mists. On starlight nights strag-
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night is
dark, but especially when fine rain Is
falling, multitudes of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. rs, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowfakes
against the lighthouse Of Heligoland.
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Hellgoland. Toward the end Of the
summer. along into the fall, it was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perlenced observer recognizes by its call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull. occasionally hears
even the nap Of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stare appear; then 1t is that
the straying Bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve in that capacity.

How little distance figures in the ex-
.pense accounts is shown by two sena-
torial funerals. The bodies of Senator
Miller and Senator Hearst were taken
to California. Senator Miller's funeral
cost $3,53234 Senator Hearst's cost
$21,S22.55. Senator Vance was buried
in North Carolina, little more than a
days ride from Washington, but the
expense account was $443S.66.
The first senatorial funeral that cost
over 81 800 was that of Senator John C.
Calhoun, for whose interment in South
Carolina the government paid $3,106.47
That same year the contingent expense
account was drawn on for another SEN
atorial funeral in South Carolina, and
the amount was only $1,7261O. The
very next senatorial funeral was Henry
Clay's. 1t cost the senate $5,447.02.
The minuteness with which the gener-
GUS accounts are kept is striking. No
pennies escape. In the case Of Charles
Sumner of Massachusetts,, the items
charged to the contingent fund
| amounted to $4,6S799. Not in so much
as single cent was the government
wronged.
The funeral of Senator Hearst leads
all others in costliness. Henry Clay's
comes next, and after that is Charles
Summers. Senator Beck's body was
taken to Kentucky at cost of $4,453.45.
The custom of drawing on the contin-
gent funds for funerals of statesmen be-
gan, as already stated, with cases where
deaths occurred at Washington when
congress was sitting. 1t now extends
to senator's and representatives wher-
ever they die. The last senatorial
death was that of Senator Stockbridge
of Michigan, which occurred at the SEN
atOr's home A committee of senators
was appointed and sent to the funeral
at cost of S1,171.92. Representative
! Myron B. Wright died during recess in
the last congress. The sergeant
alarms made up a party to attend the
funeral and charged the expenses,
$1,414.SO, to the contingent fund. 1t
| will be noted that the cost of assem-
bling a committee to witness the burial
of dead senator or representative al
his lone when congress is not in SEES
sion is much greater now than the cost
Of giving a funeral in Washington and
of sending all the way home with an es-
cort was a few years ago.
"The average congressional funeral"
says Senator PETER, lis nothing more
than party of goodnatured gentlemen
having a good time at the public ex-
pense."
In the fifty-second and fifty-third con-
crosses there we're twenty-one funerals
of representatives; that is twenty-one
funerals in four years from 1891 to 1885,
The cheapest was that of Representa-
tive James Phelan of Memphis, who
died in the Bermudas, and was taken
thence to Tennessee at an expense to
the government of only $345.S0.. The
most expensive of these twenty-one fu-
nerals was that of ]. L. Chapman, of De-
troit, which cost $2,3G8.4O. The body
of the Hon. ]. w. Kendall was escorted
to the mountain home in Eastern Ken
lucky at cost of $2,156.56, and one Of
the members who went with it wrote
for the papers a very humorous de-
scription of the expedition on his return
to Washington. w. B. S.
