WANTED-A LEAN AND HUNGRY
MAN.

If it be wise in a political conven-
ton to consider other recommends
tions for a candidate than the old
Democratic qualities of honesty, ca
pability and fidelity to the Constitu-
ton, would it not be well for the State
Democratic convention, in selecting
candidate for Governor, to consider
the physical qualities, and pick man
who is thin in flesh, lank and long
winded. Russell is as prize hog, and
would blow like a porpoise in July
stump tussle. Give him man for
competitor, like Cne-ius, lean and hun
Cry looking that thinks much and
does not sleep O nights. Fry the fat
out of Russell, and make him blow

A CLOUD BURST IN GATES.

Sumbury, y. G., May 23.-(Spec!al.) =
This section was visited Wednesday by
the most severe rain storm that ever
was known here. lit must have been
something ON the order of cloud
burst. A cloud came up from the
south about 4:30 p. m, and an unusual
rainfall followed. The cloud went
over toward the northwest, and imme-
diately turned and came back and it
seemed that the cloud almost rested
on the ground and the rain fell in tor
rents for an hour or more, accompanied
by wind. Corn and other crops We're
laid fat and then submerged. The
bitches presented the appearance of
rivers, indeed, it would have been easy
TO paddle boats over growing crops.
Much damage was done to the crops,
washing the fields in some instances
SO that part of the crops will have to
be abandoned The water ignored
drains and bitches and rushed head
long over fields, sweeping trash and
rails with it. The ground was already
soaked by drenching rain the night
before The lightning and thunder
was terrific. The lightning struck
the barn on the Calling farm near
here and stunned Mr. j. X. Corbitt, the
manager, so that he had to be carried
10 the house. He has recovered. Some
trees and fence were blown down. but
nothing serious.

THE STORY OF DICK.

''Meanest boy in town. they said,
When Dicks name wuz mentioned;
BEAT all boys alive or dead"
wicked; bad-intentioned!"
Better keep your boys apart;
Bound to break his mothers heart!
That's the way they talked o him
Lazy little rover
Till one mornin', sad an dim,
Dick-he got run over!
Bruised an bleedin'-raised his head
Don't tell mother!" -. All he said!
Last words on his lips: Don't tell
Nother!" -. AS they listened
Felt the hearts within 'em swell
While the tear drops glistened!
Don't tell mother!" tagged
rough:
But them last words said enough!

The attempt to throw discredit
upon the financial wisdom and
soundness of Mr.. Mckinley is far
from accomplishing it's object. 1t
is bringing to the front some Of the
soundest financiers Of the nation
to indorse his integrity and show
cause for his former actions in re-
lation to the national finances.
Not only so, but as the apostle Of
the American idea, Mckinley is
peculiarly in place at present, for
1t is the American idea that is
going to prevail this year.

The whole talk of the present is
about silver and currency and
free coinage and sixteen to one,
but after the convention at St.
Louis puts itself on record and the
campaign before the people fairly
opens there will be less talk about
the money and more talk about
the business and productions and
labor out of which the money
comes. Matters will then resume
their natural order and the pro-
auctions of labor and the protec-
tlons that should legally be accord
ed to labor will come in for that
consideration that has been denied
them since the democratic admin
istration laid out all labor cold
and put a mortgage on the energies
of the country, the interest pay
able to foreign production.

1t Is astonishing to what extent
the organs Of Allison and Reed
favor the veto messages Of the
president. Mckinley notes the
damage done to the country in all
its credit and its industries and
has no excuses to offer for an ad-
ministration that runs the country
to the verge OF bankruptcy in times
of peace. Mckinley will teach
Cleveland a much better way. He
did that before, but Grover could
not sabe. This time William will
put his nails in a sure place and

The house does not appear to
have any disposition to take up
new business at this late day and
there is little prospect Of any act
ion on the bond bill that has
passed the senate being consid-
cred. That bill was merely an ex-
preston of the peculiar animosity
of certain populist senators to any
increase OF the debt Of the nation
in time of peace. 1t was not neces-
sary to have taken the time Of con-
gress In the way it was taken to
accomplish that. So long as there
is not revenue enough from GUS
toms and internal revenue so long
must the nation issue bonds to
meet it's current expenses. The
remedy lies not in refusing to issue
bonds, but in the people refusing
to commit the business of the
country to those who are incom.
petent to run it. History only re-
peats itself, as the democratic
party have always run the nation
into the ground and piled up debt
whenever they have been In pos
session Of the government.
