No Precedent.

During session of the territorial leg
islature of Montana, held more than 30
years ago. a measure was introduced
which appeared to some people to in
volve serious constitutional questions.
One man, who was supposed to possess
great oratorical powers, acclaimed fierce
" against the measure, claiming that it
was clearly in opposition to the great
principles of Magma Charta, which the
brave barons in days of old had wrested
from King John, blessed result Of a
bloody conflict. -
A lawyer, more famed for his sturdy
common sense than for erudition, rose
Immediately to reply to this burst Of
fiery eloquence, evidently bent on maxi
ing it clear that he for one was not to
be overcome by high sounding words or
obscure allusions.
"It's of mighty little Importance
what the opinions Of King John and his
man Mccarthy were, he announced
firmly, adding that it was high time for
legislative bodies Of Montana to think
and act for themselves without any refer
ence to the principles which governed
the remote authorities quoted by his
colleague.
The first orators speech had made
some impression. but the reiort was re
ceiyed with the enthusiasm which it
deserved, and it was owing to his in
fuence rather than that of bis more
brilliant predecessor that the measure
was defeated. Youth s Companion.

A Turfman's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me good
story the other day on one Of our fore
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that Of
any other connected with racing in
America. 4 good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with a trainload Of mustangs from the
plains of Texas. lie knew nothing of
the laws Of the state nor of the ordi-
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs aud thought
the best way to do it was 70 sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
we'll. Fair prices were realized. Sud
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded view of on. friends
license.
"Licensef' he said amazed "what
license? haven't any license Of any
kind. 4"
"Well. you can't sell horses in this
city without a license You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
Us.
OF course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court friend Ga
lawyer, who went bail for him in the
sum of $780, Then The lawyer said:
"A license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money aud skip out. Give
me 500 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are 5000 ahead of the game.
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in tho St. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.

When wear begins to exceed repair
in your body you are going to fall
sick. The signs of it are loss of flesh !,
paleness, weakness, nervousness. etc.
The repair needed is food You think
you eat enough, and yet you feel that
you wear out more tissue, energy,
nerve-force, than your food makes
for you. The difficulty is that you
do not digest enough. And this is so
serious it is worth sitting down SER
iously to think about. II you can't
digest what you eat, take q few dos
es of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect of it will be to increase your
flesh and make you feel stronger.
You won't fall sick. Proof that it is
in control of your repair apparatus.
It's easy enough to test this your
self. Take few.bottles of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.

Why? Why? Why?

The organs Of Wall street opinions
and interests are still loud in their
praises of Mr.. Pierpont Morgan and
his associates for coming to the re-
lief of the Treasury" in restoring
and agreeing to protect the gold re-
serve.
This action is praiseworthy, as The
World has said, although as prudent
and selfish as any patriotic" deed
that has been performed since the
war. Mr.. Morgan and the money
magnates that bow when he mods
and shut their eyes when he winks
know perfectly we'll that another is
sue of bonds this summer to protect
the gold reserve would render the
election of Bryan SO certain that no
amount of ''hustling and holring," b"
though backed by the biggest cam
paign fund ever raised, could pre-
vent it. 1t is therefore very enlight-
ened selfishness, most interested
patriotism, that leads the bankers
syndicate to render bond issue IN
necessary and to stop the export Of
gold.
But their ability to do this raises
the question, which thus far has had
no answer Why did not Mr.. Nor
gan and his associates go to the res
lie and relief OF the Treasury in the
same way in 1896, and again last
winter? They had or could easily
have commanded as much gold then
as now, Then had they no more use
for gold (aside from forcing prem
ium or bond issue) than they now
have. The world urged them to do
then what they have done now. 1t
would have been far less risky then
than it is now, for the country was
not then confronted with the serious
menace of descent TO the silver basis.
But the great tinancier would not
heed. Instead of organizing a syndl-
cate to fill up the gold reserve from
their vaults in exchange for green
backs, they frightened Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle into the belief that a
panic was imminent, and that the
only way to prevent it and to pro-
tect the Treasury was to sell them
bonds for greatly less than market
price. And thus by taking the Gov
ernment by the throat they made a
profit of millions within few days,
at no risk and with little trouble.
No incident or circumstance of the
past ten years has done so much to
invite the popular uprising which
has overwhelmed one party and
which menaces the other as did the
secret bond sale of 1895 and the
grudging and partial response to
The Worlds demand for a popular
loan last winter. They were as
Isparks to the fuse. The present
guardianship of the Treasury by the
Ipower that once held it up'' in a
very different way is a perfect vindi
cation of the worlds position. ~
