DE MOTT STREET KID

Cabinet making has begun already
to engage the popular attention, and
the Billings Gazette is the first to
suggest "a list of officers for this body.
The Gazette is notsupportlng Bryan,
and consequently that gentleman will
hardly place much stress upon the
nominations; but should he conclude
to act upon the suggestion as it
stands, he would certainly have a
much ADLER cabinet than that which
surrounds our chief executive today:
Here is the proposed roster:
For secretary Of state, Gov. Alt
geld Of Illinois; for secretary of the
treasury, Pitchfork Tillman of South
Carolina; for secretary of the interior.
ex-Gov. Pennoyer of Oregon: foi
secretary Of war, Eugene '. Debs Of
the A. II. t.;for secretary of the ma

secretary Of agriculture, Sockless J
Simpson of Kansas: for attorney
general. Bob Smith of Montana.

The Wager.

We played q careless, listless game,
And both declared twas dull and tame
And hastened to get through it.
"And now," said !, 81 now a way
To add some interest to the play,
If you'll consent to do it,"
"Agreed," said she; "Im willing quite, r..
And cen a bet I'd call all right,
But l've no money handy"
Suppose" said I, eve play like this:
III bet you 'gainst a single kiss
A five pound box of candy"
She blushed a little, then she cried:
s'I'l do it-luck is on my side
I'll win the wager squarely.
Well play one hand of high low jack"
cut, and then she took the pack
And dealt each nine cards fairly.
"We'll bid for trumps, then discard three"
''Hero's two - cried /. "Giye three" Dried
she, :.
sAnd heart is what l make IT,"
The three cards that she laid aside
Down in /! er lap I saw her hide,
Then chose Il card and played it.
And now our interest was intense,
Nor was the game long in suspense,
Fol- easily ! won it.
My queen was high, my four spot low.
She flushed, got angry, didn't know
Chow in the World I'd done it,"
But when ! tried to claim my bet
She struggled hard nj somehow let
Those three cards fall u~nguarded-
The ace, deuce, ten spot at her feet.
Dear girl, she didn't want to beat,
For these she had discarded.

ARE THE PEOPLE AWAKE?

Silver men are apt to grow over
enthusiastic at the hopes of Bryan's
election. They are apt to think the
people are farther advanced in the
silver faith than they really are. We
of "a silver producing state naturally
suppose hat those of the east are as
fully aroused to the rlghteous cause
of b%imetallism as are we. This is a
mistake which is apt to lead us astray.
Those who read the expressions of
even the democratic press of the east
and south are amazed at the intense
and widespread disaffection on ac-
count of the democratic platform. t
is not sure that Bryan will be able to
maintain the south intact, for that
growing section is more in sympathy
with capital than it has ever been
since the days Of slavery. Bryan's
being a democrat will not insure him
the support of the sold south, and it
is indeed doubtful if silver men uni
ted can carry Kentucky or Florida.
There are thousands of men I'M
bued with the firm belief that protec-
ton is the great boon to our materi-
al prosperity. Because Cleveland
favored tariff for revenue only, and
failed signally in his administration,
it will be quite hard to induce the
masses of the socalled doubtful states
to vote again for a revenue tariff.
The mystery of the situation is as to
why democrats in convention did not
resolve for moderate protection, and
thus knock the only prop which
s~ustains McKinleyism. After a
siege of intensely hard times such as
have provided in the last three years.
the masses will be very slow to vote
for a return of the same old party
to power. Bryan is not a Cleveland
democrat, and his platform is a bitter
denunciation Of Clevelandism but
because he is a democrat he is under
a terrible handicap, and silver mer
must not lose sight Of the fact,
How much more readily coulc
Americans support Bryan, had he
stood upon a body Of platitude:
advocating protection, r%eciproci,,
free coinage, a vigorous foreign
policy, and d%enouncing Cleveland
On such a platform there are no
enough Mckinleys in the world t
cause the slightest impeachment to hi
onward cause.

Silver men are seriously handicap
ped by their champion party. Ii that
party had called itself by any other
name besides "democrat," it might
90 before the people more hopeful of
success. Because, Cleveland being
a democrat, the people will do some
keen, sober thinking before they can
vote for any man travelling under the
style Of that party. Such a rose by
any other name would smell swecter

Mark Twain on Prohibition.

Mark Twain has just concluded a lee
turing tour in New Zealand. He said
goodby to the New Zealanders at Christ
church, and in the course of his speech
made reference to prohibition, which he
said he approved, but which would put
them into most difficult straits. He then
told the following story:
Gin our country several years ago
there was a man came into a prohibited
town, and, unlike you savages here, they
said to him, You can't get a drink any
where except at the apothecary's. So he
went to the apothecary, who said, You
can't get a drink here without a pre-
scription from the physician But the
man said: Il am perishing. haven't
time to get a prescription. The apothe'
cary replied, We'll, l haven't power tc
give you a drink except for snake bite.
The man said, Where's the snake?' Sc
the apothecary gave him the snakes ad'
dress and he went off. Soon after, how
ever, he came back and said, For good
ness sake, give me a drink. That snake
is engaged for six months ahead. y

A FOND WlFE'S ERROR.
II Made Him Feel Like q Tin Soldier
Swimming In Mucilage.


Leonard Bagsby suffered from acute
rheumatism, and it often approached so
near his heart that he feared fatal re-
suits. One of his favorite liniments was
pure alcohol, and, as it was the cheapest
of them, he applied it freely during the
attack.
The other night Bagsby was awaken
ed by an attack Of his old enemy. At
the first groan his wife was out of bed,
cropping for the cupboard and the alco-
hol. She seized the first big bottle, and,
verifying her instinct by a sniff at the
stopper, she hurried to her suffering hus-
band. She needed no encouragement to
| apply the liniment freely, but Bagsby
urged her to pour it III as fast as she
could.
In a few minutes the pain began to
subside, and as the excitement died
away Mrs. Bagsby noticed that her
hands were quite sticky. Without stop
ping to inquire as to the cause she went
to wash them. But somehow the water
would not remove the dirt. She lighted
the gas to see what was the matter.
"Why, Leonard Bagsby, what is the
matter with met" she exclaimed, as
she gazed at her hands, covered with a
yellow, gummy substance.
"What's the matter with me, you d
better say ~ cried her husband. 81 feel
like a tin soldier swimming i'll mucl-
lage."
Mrs. Bagsby lighted the gas jet in the
bedroom.
"Varnished, by jingo!' shouted Bags
by.

half pint IF shellac. Chicago Record.

cial prominence. The speaker stands
chance to either make or mar his po-
litical fortunes in the next five months.

JANUARY 20, 1896
EXTRA SESSION TALK.

The extra session project died an early
death, and the mourning throughout the
state will be confined to few politicians
whose efforts to secure certain conces-
sions which would give them greater
power, are frustrated. The people at
large are willing to let well enough
alone and ewes compassion for the hard
working political ringsters. who are so
sorely disappointed, will not move them
to sanction the convening of the legisla-
ture. The belief is becoming general
that Joe Simon and his friends had
some job they wished to get through the
legislature, and the following from the
East Oregonian gives what is probably
the inwsrdness of the matter:
ga gentleman who has been mingling
with the political managers in Portland
has some vigorous things to say on the
subject of an extra session of the legisla-
ture, the calling of which is being advo-
Gated by the Portland Oregonian and
some of the state papers. The Orego-
nian has openly made request of Gov
ernor Lord that he call the session, and, d,
since it has learned that the governor
has made up his mind not to call the
session, the paper has INDUCED in some
sharp rebukes to his excellency, the
chief executive of the state of Oregon.
1t appears to be the element in Portland
headed by Joe Simon that is making the
request for special session. And it is
understood that the chief thing desired
is the passage of the Portland charter
bill, which Mr.. Simon brought into the
legislature last session and the legisla-
tors turned down. This charter was an
absolute necessity, so we'll informed men
say, to Joe Simon's maintaining his
supremacy in Portland and Oregon, and
it is yet a necessity. The Hume and
Hall factions in Portland have made
such progress that Mr.. Simon must do
something to check them. The charter
bill will do this. Ordinarily, it would
be Impertinence for the people in other
cities to take hand in what appears to
be a local fight. But, inasmuch as
Portland is Oregon's metropolis, and to
such large extent dominates the poll
tics of the state and now asks the people
to pay for an extra session to handle it's
affairs, the people at large are jus s.i6ed
IN taking more than a passing interest
in the contest

THE REED MOVEMENT.

The Reed movement in New England,
which has begun to take practical shape,
was expected as a matter of course. The
speaker, says the Globe Democrat, is the
biggest man whom New England has
had since Blaiue's days of promises, and
Blaine was the greatest man In his To-
cality since Webster. Blaine was a
much greater politician than Webster,
though far below him in some other par
ticulars, for Webster never obtained the
presidential nomination of his united
party. Webster had even greater ILL
fortune in this respect than John Sher-
man has ever suffered. The delegates
whom he supposed would be his were
more elusive, when the voting time
came, than those pledged" to Sher-
man. Blaine, however, was not fooled
in this way. Most of the delegates who
promised to support him always stuck.
The probability is that Reed will be
equally fortunate.
Presidential booms are usually
launched about this time. The Repub-
lican National convention is only five

spiracies" and ''rallies' may be looked
for frequently now until the convention
meets. Everybody who has any prefer
ence at all in the matter of the selection
of the candidate will soon begin to show
1T. The liberty of choice is not often
wider than it is in the present case.
This liberty relates to locality as well as
to the general attributes of the aspir-
ants. The far East, the far West and
the central West are represented by the
candidates, while the Emergencies in
Temperament and characteristics among
them are equally conspicuous.
Speaker Reed is in peculiarly trying
position for presidential aspirant. To
a man of his positive character and i'm
mense influence the speakership carries
with it the leadership of his party in the
