BOIstering Up a speech.

Once at a meeting in connection with
the University college, London, says the
Argonaut, Palmerston took the chair. He
was not at home in this learned BODY.
and was evidently anxious to adapt his
remarks to the occasion. So he began:
1T has been said that little learning is
a dangerous thing-aheml-is dangerous
thing, but it is better than-better than
better than" Here his lordship came to
a dead stop.
Lord Brougham sat next to Palmerston
In a low tone, but in his penetrating.
squeaky voice he came to the speaker s
rescue. Better than a great deal of ig-
norance," he suggested. This, of course.
brought down the house, and during the
laughter that followed, Lord Palmerston
recovered the thread of his discourse aud
finished brilliantly.

The British Isles normally enjoy free
dom from the voracious shark; that is,
the salt water kind. the shark that goes
on legs and fattens on suckers is partic-
ularly plentiful in the United kingdom.
But the salt water shark does not live
in British waters when he can help It..
This season, according to reports, he can
not help il. Some wlrim of the gulf stream
has taken him to the shores from which
Britannia rules the waves, and he is said
to be now disporting himself off Ports
mouth in large numbers, having fun with
the fishermen's nets and occasionally
with the fishermen themselves. The past
winter in Great Britain was remarkably
mild, which may have something to do
with the sharks remaining in those wa
tiers instead Of making their way
back to the warmer climates.

Where the BInme Lice.
From the Pittsburg Post Dem.)

The republican platform puts all the
blame for the financial troubles on the
Cleveland administration. The first break
on silver. from which the mischief has
grown. was the Bland-Allison silver dol
lar bill which Mckinley voted to pass
over President Hayes veto. The second
was the sherman silver purchase law, for
which Mckinley also voted. 1t is these
two laws that have made all the trouble
in finance which Grover Cleveland has had
to encounter. Mckinley helped to make
them both, and for the disasters they have
heaped on the country, the republican ma
tional convention holds Clevelandacensur-
able, and he opposed both laws. And such
Is politics.

The Florida Convention.
From the Nashville American Dem).

Florida democrats call halt. They do
not declare for the free, unlimited and
Independent coinage of silver. and they
do not send an instructed delegations to
Chicago. On the contrary, the majority
of the delegation are opposed to the free
silver movement, and submit the issue
TO the sober thought and calm consider
alton of the national convention. The
senatorial free silver combine could not
dictate the action of Florida democrats,
as it did in other states, and the example
set by the Florida convention may well
cause the free silver enthusiasts to stop
and think before taking the fatal leap.

What has become of the Georgia popu-
lists? A stagnating calm seems to have
settled upon their camp. Not note of
warning is heard from them. No rum
bling OF mighty upheaval is heard in the
distance no matter how close to the
ground one puts his ear. The wellIin has
stopped ringing Not a whisker vibrates
in the breeze. All the brides have been
hung up. and there is no blood to wade
through This is in face of the fact that
the ST. Louis hotel people are already TAX
ing out their gas fixtures and laying in
supply of candles in anticipation of the
populist national convention, now close
at hand. Have all of the populists ex-
ccst Tom Watson been swallowed?

repkbliean party. is said, by Alfred Henry
Ilow1e, to be a large, coarse, red-faced

NaIeves in the power of money, and that
sFery man has his price. In manner he
said to be rude, without consideration

he may be brought into contact If a

his employees. in all Of which he has won.

Rosebery Writes Another Letter.

London, Dec. 31.-The morning papers will tomorrow print another letter from Ex-Prime Minister Rosebery of similar tenor to the letter from the same source published Monday morning, in which Lord Rosebery took the government se- verely to task for its action, or rather it's non-action in regard to Turkish af fairs. In his last letter Lord Rosebery advocates the holding of many mass meetings to express the public opinion on the subject. Some safety valve, he says, must be found for the pent-up, irrepressi- ble indignation of the people He adds: "To build the mightiest navy in the world and give absolute power to the ministry in order to see our every effort baffled and ridculed by a sultan--and such a sultan--is enough to make every gorge in the country rise"

A Crew in Distress.

Nantucket, Mass, Dec. 31.-The Mus kegat life saving crew this afternoon re- ported large three -masted schooner anchored between Tuckernuck shoal and Cross Rip, flying signal of distress, probably sinking The schooner was sighted at daybreak this morning, but as there was no communication by tele- phone and the terrific sea prevented the life boat going outside, nothing could be done. About 10 o'clock. the vessel hoisted a signal of distress and at 1 o'clock the crew could be seen flashing a spar in the rigging whereon they could cling if the vessel foundered. This reused the Mus kagat crew to an extreme effort and at . the risk of their lives they crossed to Nantucket, where word was telegraphed to various wrecking companies, and it is hoped that tugs are on their way to the crews assistance. At sunset the wind continues blowing northwest gale and a heavy sea is running.

A PRETTY HOWD'DO.
A Theater Cleaned Out by Gang
 Toughs-Several Killed.

A Theater Cleaned Out by Gang of Toughs-Several Killed. Cripple Creek, Col, Dec. 31-A shoot ing affray in the Union theater, in the lit- tie mining camp of Victor, few miles out, threw the place into great excite ment. Early in the evening the toughs of the town gave it out that they would clean out the Union, and when Manager Smith of the theater accused Tom Pas co, one of the audience, of being the leader, pitched battle was precipitated, The killed are:
 George Smith, manager of the theater; Tom Pasco.
 The wounded are: George Ferguson, mortally; Robert Smith, shot in the thigh; Fred Ellis left arm broken by shot. Several others received flesh wounds
 Saloons and dance halls have been run
 ming night and day ever since the camp was started and tonight 1t is feared se- rious trouble will follow.
 The programme was about half finished in the Union theater when Manager
 Smith came in from his office and walked to table at which were seated five or
 six gentlemen. One of them was Tom Pasco, a well-known man about the camp. Smith accused him of being the
 leader of gang of toughs which were scattered about the theater and told him
 he had heard the toughs had come down
 to clean out the place. The lie was passed instantly, and in a jiffy dozen pistols were flashing in the gas light. Before any one could interfere.ig Pasco had brought his pistol to a level with Smiths head and had let it's contents go Smith dropped on his knees and as he fell he was seen to draw his gun. A report rang
 out and Pasco reeled and fell almost di-
 rectly across Smith. The shooting then
 became general and when the smoke
 had cleared away nearly every light In the place had been shot out, and it was some time before sufficient lamps could be obtained to allow the marshal to see who had been killed. It is a miracle that but two were killed, as bullet marks are everywhere. Some of the wounded left the place for their camps without say ing who they were, and a. full list of the injured canot be obtained.
