Selma and Peter Now Sail Bilssfnily Down the

Peter Nelson and Selma Holmgren
lived at Ishpeming. Selma loved Peter.
not wisely but too well, and the evil
days came. Peter sought more con-
genial surroundings aud Selma has been
in search OF Peter during the past
ascertained that her long lost Peter was
employed on the Mansfield contract.
She quickly dispatched u warrant for his
arrest from lshpeming, accompanied by
n very correct likeness OF her thrilling
Pete. Officer Tromblay made an official
pilgrimage To the Mansfield on Thursday
and ruthlessly wrcsted Peter from liber-
ty. Selma remained in Crystal Falls,
awaiting results. At length she beheld
the officers return with her gay Lo-
thario. Her heart threatened the in
tegrity OF her breast and with wild
dash she threw herself into the brawny
arms OF her absent-minded Peter.
"Pete, amt 20 loie me any more?" she
lisped sweetly In the rich accent oi
the Finn tongue. Peter, who felt en-
barrassed in the strong arms OF the law,
was very ready TO give assent and twirl-
ing his milk-white mustache nervousy,
said, "yaw" in the most approved style
of romance. IL did not take Peter long
to decide that marriage was mucn pre-
ierable, even in this ninteenth century
day OF bloomers and fifteen dollar bon
nets, to the cold and clammy conline-
ment OF the bastilo and with joyous
tread Selma led Peter To the Office oI
"Judgo" Dawson. Now, Judge Dawson
is well up in the law in regard To the
rightful ownership OF dogs. the penalty
attached TO drunks and disorderly con
duct OF the general kind, but here was a
new phase in the business for him, and
he blushingly acknowledged his ignorance
in the premises. II can marry you, in a
kind OF a way" he said, "but am not
quite sure il will stick. The fact is
never had much experience in this
marrying business. Was married, my
self, once, but that WIS good many
years ngo and was SO blamed ratified
that forgot every word the old parson
said. Guess I'd better send for Handy"
hs went on in disconnected sort oi

authority in matters Of this sort, was
accordingly summoned. Fresh from the

TO all details OF red-tapo and Selma and
Peter became two hearts with but n
single thought quicker than Sally Adams

A Beverage for "The Gods"

The "Sound Money Democratic"

more, at which wine was served of the
vintage of 1900, the actual value of
which was So for each teaspoonful.
The health of Mckinley and Cleve-
land was drank in this costly nectar.
The wine has history which is inter-
esting. 1t reposed in the famous Gel
lars of thomas Jefferson at Monticello
until 1884, when it was purchased at
the sale of his effects by Philip Evan
Thomas, a railroad magnate. From
Mr.. Thomas it descended to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. John Withered, and the re-
mainder of the original purchase,
about six gallons, was bought by Doug
las H. Thomas, after Mrs. Withered's
death in 1886, who has kept it for just
such gala day of rejoicing as tri-
umph of the goldocracy of the nation.
Every drop of this rare product was
paid for from the profits on labor, and
its use was made the symbol of a sys.
tenn which which robs one class to en-
rich another. 1t requires nerve, how
ever, to emblazon the fact upon the
pages of history as the finale to cam
paign which has shown upon what a
frail basis the lordly fabric of avarice

Study These Figures

are having u great deal t. lay about

Everett N'mocrHt, but they de- not tell
that Billy" Bryan l"ll"d Gt4. .I34
more vote At the last election than
Grover Cleveland did in 1892 Neither
d" the Republican papers, while speak
ing over the great Mckinley land
slide mention the fact that while the
defeated candidate in 1892 received
only i:' per cent. OF the total popular
vote, Bryan in 1896 received 46 per
cent. "f the total popular vote. Mr..
Harrison, the defeated Republican
candidate in 1892, received not ONLY a
less per cent "f the total popular vote,
but l,O45,ill less than Bryan OF the
popular vote. And there Is something
very peculiar about this wonderful in
crease OF the popular vote for it is
nearly all i'll the close States and also
nearly all i'll favor of the Republican
party. In the State of Illinois, BRYAN,
in 1896 pollcd 3G,l72 more votes than
Cleveland did in 1892 when he carried
the State by $1,000, yet Mckinley car
ried the State in 1896 by 1884, 800.
In the State Of Iowa, BRYAN in 1896
polled 22,9S9 more votes than Cleve-
land did 1892, yet Mckinley carries
the STATE in 1896 by 10000. And so
it runs in nearly all the other close
States. In Kentucky, Cleveland, in
1892 polled only l75, 46l, while Bryan
in 1896 polls 217,797, yet the State
goes Republican for the first time in
its history. Indiana gave Cleveland
26,240 votes in 1892 when he carried
it by 1900 votes; Bryan in 1896 polls
303,S54, yet Indiana goes Republican
by nearly 10000 votes. The question
naturally arises, how did the Repub-
licans increase their votes far in ex-
cess of the increase of population?
They did not get Democratic votes,
for in each of these States the DEM
ocratic vote either held its own or
made some increase. There'll be a
day of reckoning just as sure as there
WAS in the sixties. Mark our predic-
ton.

Brodie Advertises Himself.

Steve Bru'lic, the Bowcry" actor.
j. not backward in keeping himself
prominently i'll the public eve. In a
lat" interview in San Francisco, he
SAID that he was followed by a
Nemesis IN the person 81 Il crank by
tn" name ui lIarland. who had several
times attempted To- take his life; that
while in Olympia TIN, a>sailant at
tackled him in the upper corridors of
the Olympia hotel, and that he. Bro

interview concludes: The very place
where Harland struck the marble
floor i'll the rotunda oi the Olympia,
when he came crashing through the
glass, having been flung from the
seventh story, can yet he distinctly
seen. The marble tile where he
struck was pulverizcd."
Now even We're the main parts OF
this story true, the elaborate detail
is so far .awry that it cxcitcs smile
on the face oi those familiar with the
hashery where this incident is said
to have occurred. The seventh"
story of this pallatal edificc never
materializcd even in the imagination
of its most dcludcd stakeholder, and
the marble" tile which was "pulver-
lied" was Il fir plank, which was not
even splintcrcd by the fall Of the
imaginary Harland. 1t is wonder
Rrodic does not affirm that the hole
he made in the water when he jumped
from Brooklyn bridge "may yet be
diStintly seen" 1t would be quite as
conclusive evidence as the mythical
marble dust of the shattered tile.

A MISERABLE MAIL SERVICE
1t does seem as if the mail which ar
rives at 6 80 in the evening might be
distributed before the elapse of ID or
IL hours. If the carriers cannot
complete their routes before noon
of the succeeding day, an opportunity
should be afforded for obtaining, at
least letter mail, from the delivery
window. This is the custom in all
cities, and as postoffices are main
tanned for accommodation of the pub
lie and the salaries paid for the service
are ample and exceedingly desirable,
there should be some provision made
for evening up" the pudding" of
summer duty with the alleged "wind
soup" of winter. 1t is safe to say that
not one of the civil service protected
gentry will resign his position if q
little extra labor is imposed. If he
does, there are many who can pass a
successful competitive examination
who would be only delighted to take
his place.

Death of an Eminent Woman.

The death of Mrs Sarah Il. Cooper
and her daughter Hattie, in san
FRANCISCO, Friday morning, by their
own hands, affords remarkable in
stance of the incomprchcnsibilities
Of the human mind. Probably no
woman in the nation, and certainly
none on the Pacific Coast. had de-
voted 50 much voluntary, li>intcrested
effort to hencticcnt objects AZ Mrs.
Cooper She was eminent in church
work, and leader in all the popular
reforms, and the founder and pro-
moter OF kindergarten work on this
coast. 1t seems that death was
caused 10y a>phyxiation from gas, the
two women being found dead in bed
on the morning of the llth, with the
Jet turned on. 1t is thought that the
act was that of the daughter, who had
been suffering from Il depression that
had caused the family physician to
warn Mrs. Cooper of danger to be ap-
pretended from the mania, and the
mother had been So deeply impressed
with impending calamity that she
made her will the day before the trag-
edy occurred. The names of both de-
ccdents became widely known from
the trial of Rev. c. O. Brown, in
which they took prominent part, at
first for vindication of their pastor,
but as the proofs of guilt became APP
parent, his most persistent prosecutors.
MARK HANNA'S kfNDERGENTEN
METHoDS.-It now turns out that as
an object lesson to labor, some of the
large factories in the East, wien they
closed with the avowcd determination
to suspend business until the Presi-
dental election was determined, had
their machinery dismantled, and care
fully oiled and laid away, as if in prep
aration for a prolonged season of rest,
should the peoples efforts for self-gov-
eminent he crowned with success.
This was as conclusive evidence of the
fate in store for them as the opening of
a grave to bury Hope, and many thous-
ands were thus coerced into voting
against their principles and for pol
icy which afforded no lasting prospect
of relief. The scheme had double
intent, for after the object had been
attained, the grease was rubbed off of
the dismantled machines and they
were again geared up to join i'll the
hum of revived industry promised by
the Advance Agent of Prosperity"

Un-American.

The announcement Is made that ut
an election held to fill the vacancy
caused by the death OF Charles +. Crisp,
member OF Congress from the third
Congressional district oil Georgia, his
son &. X. Crisp has been chosen. The
young man is said to be hut twenty
six year old, hence he will he the
youngest member ever elected to the
United States Congress.
All this sounds pretty we'll, when it
happens that the young men thus
honorcd have had distinguished fathers,
but, after all, this system of promo
ton to unde>crved positions is wholly
un-American in all its essential phases.
1t is of recent growth and should be
discouraged by all right-minded states
men and politicians.
The practice, or more properly fad,
OF honoring the mediocre sons of
eminent men seems to have have been
inaugurated about the time that such
scions as Robert Lincoln and Fred
Grant were lionizcd, not to say dciiicd,
by the enthusiastic admirers of their
distinguished sires. Robert Lincoln
was made minister to the court of st.
James simply because he was Abraham
LincOlns son. Fred Grant has been
fondled and petted in high official
positions simply because it happened
to be his father who achieved a great
name in the war of the rebellion and
afterwards added splendOr to that
name by serving two terms rs Presi-
dent Of the United States. And now
comes young man, totally unknown
to the world outside of his native
haunts, who is lifted body, boots and
pants into high official position of
honor, trust and lucrative distinction,
for no other reason than that his
father before him was distinguished
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives.
Doubtless there are other young
men in the Third Congressional dis
trict of Georgia just as well qualified
to succeed the elder Crisp as his own
son, and may be, indeed, some of them
are even better qualified than the
newly made incumbent. America
was long ago styled the land of OPP
portunity for deserving genius and
ability, but the outlook would seem
to indicate that it is getting to be
rather the land of favoritism, blue
bloodism and coat-tail snobbery.
The picture of Young Crisp, as he is
called, is already paraded before the
American people as wonderful pre-
cocious young man. But we have
only one word to say in this connec-
ton, and that is to quote Mrs. Candle
when she yelled to her sleeping hus-
band, Bah"

BENEATH CRITICISM.-The Pr of
the l4th inst, contains a merited
"roast" of the ODER Company, which
played in this city during the freeze
up to small houses and low prices.
The company's only merit consists in
the small charge it makes for its at
tempts at popular amusement. The
good-natured people who have attend
ed the performances here, at Tacoma
and Seattle, contcnted themselves
with the reflection that the experience
was worth what it cost, and failed to
register n decisive kick" until the
company attempted to produce the
great conception of Du Maurier-
"Trilby"-in the Third Avenue Thea
ter, in Seattle, Sunday night. The
P.-L criticises the performance in de-
tail, and its comments afford convinc-
ing evidence that it erred in doing so,
for the performance was absolutely
beneath criticism. 1t is hardly prob
able that the ODER company will be
able to impose on other communities
after the shaking up it has received
from the leading daily of the State.

Tough on Lobbyists.

The following appears in double
column article, in the Tacoma Union,
of Monday, which processes to speak
by the card:
The Morning Union is peculiarly
gratified to know that GOvernor-elect
John II. Rogers desires the very first act
of the reform legislature to be the driving
out of the cOrruptionists and lobbyists
who have always fastened themselves
upon the legislative bodies of this State,
and who, We are reliably informed, are
even now preparing to invade the next
legislature. So successful have lobbyists
been in the State legislature of Washing
ton that it has come to be common
saying that no law that deals fairly and
honestly with the interests of the people
can be passed without the utmost effort,
and that cOrruptiOnists hamper Just
legislation on all sides.
In order to rid the legislature of the
corrupt and corrupting lobby that has
infested legislative halls in this State,
MIR. Rogers desires that the very first
act of the legislature shall be the passage
of law enforcing Section 80, article ii
of the constitution Of the State relating
to the corrupt soliciting OF State officials.
1t is proposed that this law shall be so
framed that any person known and
proved to be lobbyist can be arrested
or driven out of the presence of the law
makers.
The governor-elect is very earnest in
the desire that this corruption-killing
bill shall be passed at the first days
session, under suspension of the rules,
and that it shall be the very first official
act by the peoples party legislature.
Such bill, when presented to the ex-
ecutive will be speedily signed.
This will be good beginning. 1t will
give new life and new courage to those
who have become faint-hearted in the
battle with corruption and corrupt tactics
in this state, of which Tacoma has been
the storm center.

"THE "DINGLEY BILL."-The bill

vide a temporary revenue law, ex-
piring by its own terms in 1898, from
which it is expected that SAC, 0O0, 900
year revenue may be derived. 1t
takes wool of all kinds off the free list
and puts upon it duty six-tenths as
great as that of the Mckinley tariff.
To the present duties on wooden goods
it makes a like addition. 1t does
precisely the same for lumber in all
forms. 1t adds IL per cent. of the

schedules including chemicals, earth

cultural products, wines, spirits, cot
