4 PoPULIsr PEN PICTURE.


 Buckley O'Neill took up nearly two columns ot space in the last issue of the Populist in a criticism of the republican delegates to the St. Louis convention. The burden of Mir. O'Neilrs remarks are to the effect that because the delegates refused to leave the convention. they are not honest. Had they walked out of the convention and suyren- dered their life long political prin- ciples, and become meek and lowly followers of the exalted Arizona populist, they would then have be come heroes and martyrs in his eyes. The Phenix Herald gives the following pen picture of this self righteous, political apostle who has been all things to all men and who has been ou all sides of all questions, just as he found the popular breeze blowing. which will be found true to life:
 "Our populist place hunter, Buckley O'Neill, promptly comes to the front with another of his character istic articles on the St. Louis con vention, but principally on the Ari- zona delegation thereto, drawing, of course, his own not very dangerous conclusions, and characterizing the delegation as the place hunting brigade of the Arizona auxiliary of the convention. Such expressions coming from O'NeIll would be very amusing did they not overwhelm those who know him longest and best in the the territory with feel ing of contemptuous disgust. Place hunting brigade,' indeed, Buckley O'Neil spoke from experience when that term slipped from him. For nearly twenty years he has done nothing else. and to day, a veritable Louis Xl, he crawls at the feet of the populist party in the territory, begging to have the verility of earl .er political youth restored, that he may enjoy a longer season of demagogic fawning and the political debsuchery he might, in conse quence, hope would follow. Geuer- osity is Buckey's great redeeming feature, aud in this case he has stopped his own sentiments and conditions over onto better men. Is there a man m Arizona who knows him, who does not know that be Is an attempted mOuopolist while he howls anti-monopoly; that he howls free coinage of silver because be hopes to foot the territory into sending him to Congress for that howl; that he left the republican ranks because he knew that party was "onto" his methods; that he is populist because he imagined that pie counter fresher and not So crowdedi Not one. Nobody among the old settlers of the past years is deceived in Buckley O'Neill."

It has 3.935 pas senger cars, l54.00O freight cars. $50 Pullman cars and 24l other cars for construction and other purposes, making a total of l5S,524 cars, which make a journey equal to the circumference of the earth in every eight minutes. These locomotives and cars. If placed upon a single track. would reach from New York to Chicago. or ten times the distance between Philadelphia and New York. The rails of the Pennsylvania railroad. fl laid end to end. would eucircle the globe and overlap 4.OOO miles.

Governor FTHaEIIn's Personal suits


 Judge Baker called the case of the Territory vs. P. J. Cole, on man. damus to compel the defendant to turn over to Thomas Parish the books, papers and money in his possession belonging to the territory this morning.
 Attorney General Wilson opened for the territory. Be stated that the only point in which this suit differed from the one to OuSt Me Cord from the Board of Control and seat Wolfley, was that in the case of the territorial treasurer no tenure of office was fixed by law, and the incumbent of that office could be removed at the will of the governor. He cited several authorities to sup port this position.
 Attorney Chalmers followed for the defense. He argued at length on the proposition that Treasurer Cole had given a second bond to the territory for $0O,OOO ana that he was custodian of funding bonds in nearly that amount. That the newly appointed treasurer had given bonds in but the sum of S40,0O0, and that his client could not, under his bond, turn over to the new treasurer the funding bonds, when his bond was not equal to the amount of the prop erty to be turned over.
 This afternoon Attorney Camp bell, who also represents the defend ant, took up the question of the power of the governor to remove, and cited many authorities against that position.
 A decision is expected in both the McCOrd and Cole cases tomorrow morping.-Herald.

 The -MlNEg would have liked to see silver recognized in the republican platform. lt believes that with this recognition the pros perity of the whole country, which Is sure to follow McKinley's elec- ton. would be greatly enhauced thereby. Yet with Mckinley aud protection, greater prosperity can be attained than through the elec- ton of any democratic candidate on free silver platform. Demo eracy has shown such utter iucom- potency in the financial affairs of the country that 1t Is doubtful if the hints, even fl run 10 their fullest capacity could turn out money fast enough to keep the country out Of debt. With its record for bond selling in times of peace the voters ot the country will hardly take chances with that party for another four years on any platform.
 Polyandry, or poIyandria. Is the opposite of polygamy; or, in other words, in countries where pOlyaudry Is practiced, the women take a half dozen or more husbands in just the same manner that the Polygamists take plurality of wives" In an cient times. the area ,ver which polySndry extended or was prac- tlced was quite extensive, says an exchange. At the present day th,re Is but one country now known in which PolyNndry is the national custom. In Thibet, in the Himala- van and sub -Himalayan region ad- joining, there are numerous districts in which polyandry Is the rule rather than the exception. h those countries (Thibet and its depsuden- ciesl. wife Is the wife of a whole family of brothers. the elder brother being "chiei husband.
 Some of the self constituted pop ulist leaders are vertically "quaking in their boots" lest the Chicago convention should endorse silver and nominate a free silver candidate. Such action, on the part of the democracy, would knock the silver lining out of whole lot of popu- listic literature, and would also re- suit in satisfying whole lot of ] democrats, who have become alien ated from their party on this ques- tion. and who would return to their first love again. Of course these remarks do not apply to the rank and file of the poPulist party, who
 are conscientious and honest in their political belief, but to the small portion of 1t who ara ~out for the s;uH. and who are populists for gain and position, and not from
 principle, those who never had any
 fixed political or personal principle, either, for that matter. Those who are populiSts to-day, just as they
 were formerly republicans or demo crats, because they think they see in that party a greater opportunity of securing preferment than m either of the older parties, where their methods are known and understood.

No Flowers.

The provision Of amusements for the
British priyates, such as cricket and foot
ball, rarely enlisted the solicitIde Of the
officers, and the soldier, when of duty,
finding at hand no particular occupation
which was harmless, was indirectly
driven to that which was vicious. He
therefore frequently betook himself to
the "free aNd easy" entertainments OF
robber publicans, whose gratis provision
Of stupid and coarse fun Was recouped
by heavy expenditure in drink, cr to
some even more disreputable resort. The
pleasure of gardening was cold shoul-
dered, for gardens are inevitably attend
ed with weeds, and weeds refuse to
grow symmetrically, SO casual blade

we are permitted to make this ex-
tract: II have no hesitation IN recon
mending Dr.. Kings New Discovery

in the case of my wife. While I was
pastor of the Baptist Church at
Rivers Janction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding
La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms Of
coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend

Josh Billings On Insurance.

I kun to the conclusion lately that
life was so unsartin that the only way
for me to stand a fair chance with
other folks was to get my life insured
SO I kalled on the agent of the Gar
den Angel Life Insurance Company,
and answeredthe following questions,
which were put to me over the top OF
pair of spectales by slick old fel-
low with round gray head as any
ever owned: Are you mail or fe-
mail? If so state how long yu have
been so. Had yu father or mother?
If 50, which? Are w subject to fits?
If so, do yu have more than one at a
time? What is your precise fitting
waite? Did you ever have any an
cestors, and if so, how much? Du
yu have any nightmare? Are yu
married or single, or are yu a bach
elor? Have you ever committed
suicide? Ifso, how didit affect you?"
After answering the above questions
like a man, in the affirmative, the
slick and fat old fellow with gold
spectacles on said I "was insured for
life and probably would remain SO for
years" l thanked him, smiled and
retired.

Greece and Grease.

It is perhaps as we'll that children
should not understand all the COM
plimentary things that may be said
about them. Little Grace was very
pretty; but had not yet been made
herself conscious by finding it out.
Not long ago an indiscreet visitor,
seeing her for the first time, re-
marked with enthusiasm to the child's
mother, "What eyes? And what a
profle-pure Grecian!"
Grace flushed scarlet, and ran
from the room. Hall an hour after,
when the visitor had gone, her mo-
ther found her hidden away in dalk
closet.
"Why, Grace, what are you here
for?" she asked.
II didn't want to come out until
that horrid Mrs. Sears had gone,'
said the child, showinga a defiant face.
"Horrid? Why, what did SIZE do
to you?"
':She said I was all grease! I ran
right to the glass, and was as clean
as could be. And if she thought so,
she might have whispered it to me,
and not said it out.'
