CONSIDER THE HONOR.

IT find that a continued service in
Congress- says Congressman Miller Of.
Kansas, must result in the destruction
of my law business, and this cannot
afford"
when the additional expense neces-
sarily incurred by a member of con-
gress is considered. the compensation
paid is not sufficient to justify one as
poor as [ am in giving up a fairly
great law business for the prospective
honors of congressional life"
"A surrender of business for poll
tics has rarely been advantageous to
the party making the surrender. To
one who is able to act independently
of business considerations, or compen-

Pardoning of Hugh Dempsey.

Governor Hastings has humanely and
1udiciously approved the recommendation
of the board of pardons in the premises
by pardoning Hugh Dempsey, one of
strike, as the evidence upon which he
was convicted has never seemed to be
conclusive of his guilt. 1t was largely
ctrcumStantial and certainly appeared to
leave room for a reasonable doubt of
participation by the accused in the grave
offences of which he was charged The
prisoner had served one-half the term
of his sentence.-Philadelp Ledger.

what Cleveland DOESN'T Know.

If there's any sport that President
Cleveland enjoys more than shooting
ducks and catching fish, it is lodging the
reporters when he goes off on his hunt
inS and fishing trips. He started off on
his latest expedition at midnight, and re-
turned under the cover of the darkness
And yet the newspapers had the news as
to his movements promptly and accur-
ately. There's one thing that the presi-
dent doesn't seem to know, even though
he is an able partisan. That is the fact
that it is hard to catch a weasel asleep.

NOW THE TARIFF.

With the silver substitute for the Re
publican house bond bill out of the
way, there can be no further reason
for delaying the report of the emer-
gency tariff bill, which also originated
in the house and passed that body some
weeks ago, but which has been held
up in the senate committee, awaiting
the disposal of the bond bill or its sill
yer substitute. But now that the bond
bill is disposed of by passing the free
silver substitute, it is to be expected
that the tariff measure will be the
subject of senatorial eloQuence instead
of bonds and the character of our cur
rency.
So far as known no effort has been
made in committee to change the gen
eral character of the SCALED emer-
gency tariff bill, and the great proba-
bility is that it will be presented to the
senate practically as it passed the
house. The proposition before the SEN
ate therefore will be to place upon the
three articles, raw wool, wooden goods
and lumber, a duty equal to sixty per
cent of the Mckinley duties; and upon
all other articles an increase of fif-
teen per cent of the Wilson duties, ex-
cept where such increase would raise
the duties above those of the late Nc
Kinley law. in which case the duty is
to be that of the Mckinley law The
measure is not regarded as a perma-
nent settlement of the tariff question
on Republican lines of treatment, but
is to be a temporary affair, to stand
only until August 1st, 1898, when our
Republican friends confidently boast
that they will be in possession of all
the departments of the general govern
ment, and viii enact such tariff
measure as agrees with their princi-
pies.
Meantime we shall doubtless hear
much about British free trade" not
withstanding the fact that the pres
ent tariff law is highly protective"
and burdensome to the people.

Granrs IIeadannrLers Mess.

In Campaigning With Grant" by
General Horace Porter, in the Cen
tury, occurs the following: A cold
lunch was then eaten off pine table
in tho dining room of the deserted
house. Later in the afternoon our
tents arrived and were pitched near the
house, and little before dark the
''mess" sat down to dinner. The table
had been laid under the fly of large
tent of the pattern known as the ''hos-
pital tent" Perhaps no headquarters
of general in supreme command OF
grent armies over presented 80 demo-
cratic an appearance. All the officers
of the staff dined at the table with
their chief, and the style OF conversa-
tion was as familiar as that which oc-
ours in the houshold of any private
family. Nothing could have been
more informal or unconventional than
the manner in which the mess was con-
Quoted. TIE staff officers came to the
table and left it at such times as their
duties permitted, sometimes lingering
over meal to indulge in conversa-
ton, at other times remaining to take
only few mouthfuls in all haste be-
fore starting out upon the lines. The
chief ate less and talked less than any
other member of the staff, andpartoob
only of tho plainest food.

people, unless very corpulent indeed,
