The sheriff was talking politics when a
constable drove up with Il man in a buggy,
says Harper's Magazine.
"Majah, this we're is jim Rowland, who
has been sentenced to jail fur ninety DAYS

constable.

A oAeer aIisnnderstnndinr.

A certain East End man is growing
more and more deaf, and greatly dislikes
to admit it, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer He makes a brave pretenss of
understanding what is said to him and
this frequently entails amusing mistakes.
Not long ago neighbor met him and
said:
Perhaps you haven't heard about the
agreeable visitor that arrived at our house
yesterdays fine baby boy?''
The deaf man smiled pleasantly and
replied:
''Oh, we have lots of 'em at our house.
My wife gets en- by the bushel Stews

put up more'n forty cans this summer.
Yes. indeed"

The Sew York Tribune leading Nc

ltical economy or fuan-e2 u isn't either.
Enl no grown man OF ordinary inreilf-
ranca thinks 20 Is. II Ls a plain question
of common honesty, and nothing else"
The foregoing is bold and aggressive
talk. why didn't the Tribunel Mr.. Nc
Kialey ana the leaders OF the republican
party generally talk that way years agoe
DO they not know that they are largely
responsible for the existing demand for
the free coinage OF silver? Was not the
republican party responsible for the Bland
Allison act and the Sherman silver pur-
chasing act? Was not that party in power
when these concessions to silver were
made? Did not Mr.. Mckinley vote COR
every proposition looking toward free sill
yer coinage when he was in congress2
now cries out, Men and brethren. Why
not take this free silver coinage bull by
the horns?"
II the republican party had taken it by
the horns when II had the opportunity Of
doing so with success, there would be no
occasion now for the leading republican
organ to demand that It he taken by the
horns. The free coinage bull has grown
to DO so powerful that it looks as II the
republican party would be trampled under
foot by It.
1t hasn't been SO very long since the re-
publican party seemed to think tho sill
yer bull was vote getter and therefore
Il gave the bun all the encouragement II
consistently could, but now that the bun
threatens TO practically ruin that party
the republican leaders and newspapers
want 1t taken by the horns and put out Of
the way.
This cry from the republican party
comes too late. Its appeals to "men and
brethren" will not prove to be effective.
Republican, teachings have convinced
many republicans that the ."silver bull'
is not very dangerous. and therefore they
viii not listen to appeals TO have it taken
by the horns and summarily disposed Of.
The republican party is likely TO suffer
from the result OF it's own teachings-
teachings that were put forth when it was
thought the silver vote was necessary 10
the continued success OF that party.

Mr. Mstson,s susptcion.

Mr. Watson's paper, IN its last issue
commenting on the opposition in this state
to putting him on the democratic ticket
in place OF Mr. sewal. says:

its candidate for Vice PRESIDENT II he
should be substituted for Mr.. sewall.
and the ticket should be elected, he
would have no such opportunity to work
for the cause of silver as he would by
remaining a distinguished high private
in the ranks of the populists. If he thinks
there is the remotest probability that all
the democratic party is seeking to do
by espouslng the cause OF silver is to de-
stroy the popullst party, why should he
desire to assist in it's destruction by IA
voring its fusion with that party? The
fact Of his being on the democratic ticket,
in a position in which he could render his
party no service, would not save his
party from destruction if the adoption OF
free silver coinage by the democratic
party Is likely to destroy It,

Suspicious of Mckinley.

a declaration of a silvery character, re-
pudiating the extreme gold doctrines of
the men who are giving law TO his par
ty and directing its course. on the
other hand. the goldites are suspicious
of Mai. Mckinley. They have no faith
in his consistency, judging by his record.

on a gold platform, Maj. Mckinley is a
misht and the least available candidate

The nomination of Mr. Watson by the
populists for Vice President will affect
the situation in the Tenth congressional
district but Just in what manner is not
clear. Maj. Black is out of the race, on
the democratic side. and Mr.. Watson is
out on the populist side. That ought to
leave the way open for some man like
the Hon. Pat Walsh. who would be ac-
ceptable to both parties. Whether it
would or not. however, remains to be
seen. Not much has been said with re-
gard to the matter since the adjourn
ment of the populist convention.

The city of Milwaukee is in some
what queer position. 1t appears, accord
ing to papers filed with the federal court
in that city. that the United States has
secured a warrant for the arrest of the
city of Milwaukee and a number of con-
tractors for violating the provisions of
the river and harbor act by dumping
refuse into the lake in such manner as
to obstruct channels and impede naviga-
ton. 1t is claimed that the city can be
legally arrested and incarcerated by plac-
ing the mayor and all OF the aldermen
and other city officials in Jail 1t is not
to be supposed. of course, that any such
thing will be done. Some other way out
of the difficulty will be found other
cities on the lakes have violated the laws
just as Milwaukee has done, and suits
against them will be instituted.

Joan of Arc Before the ,Judres.

The questions addressed to Joan and
her answers day by day have been trans.
United IN the records of the court To
read them is to understand the brutal
teroclty with which she was tortured
until, turning on her accuser. she cried
You call yourself ny Judge. Be care
ful what you do, fA am indeed sent
by the Lord, and you place yourself in
great danger"
10 answers almost sublime succeeded
answers filed with naive ingenuity.
Questions were piled, traitorously con.
ceived, concerning the visions which
had come to her and the celestial voices
which she heard and which throughout
her mission had counseled and guided
her. But on this point she was firmly
silent. 1t was as though it were q Sc
cret which she was forbidden to betray.
She consented to take an oath to sneak
nothing but the truth; but, concerning
her visions, she made a reservation.
You could cut my head off before |
would speak, she protested. At night,
IN the darkness of her dungeon, ST.
Catherine and st. Margaret appeared
to her, and celestial voices comforted
her. She avowed that she had seen
them with the eyes of her body y =

A Blind Bargainer.

Shoppers in one of the big stores
down town last bargain day curiously
watched the movements of blind
woman at the dress goods counter. She
was about 80 years old, her face show
ing great intelligence and refinement.
She was richly dressed for the street,
and girl about 20 years old accompa-
nicd her.
The blind woman examined the fab
RIGS placed before her by passing them
through her hands. She depended upon
her own sense Of touch apparently, for
she seldom spoke to her companion, and
then only in answer to questions. She
appeared to be quite critical, and before
she made her selection the counter was
piled high with patterns of all kinds.
After she had examined large num-
Der of pieces she took up one of the
first that had been shown her and de.
cided to buy it.
When the clerk had measured it, she
verified the length herself by measur-
ing it with her outstretched arms.
Seemingly satisfied that the piece con-
tanned as much as she had bargained
for, she took transfer ticket and went
to the counter where trimmings are
sold. There she selected the material
with which to finish her dress, examip-
ing the laces and other delicate fabrics
most critically.
After the blind woman had left the
store the floor manager said her shop.
ping was not an unusual thing. She
was but one of the many blind custom
ers who came into the store regularly.
This woman, he said, was not only able
TO make the incest discrimination in
the matter of trimmings, but so deli
cate was her touch she could often dis
tlnguish colors. He added, however,
that she never depended entirely upon
her touch in matching shades, but veri-
fed her selections with the eyes of the
clerk and her companion. Chicago
