A TIME FOR REFLECTION.
The Mckinley Boomers Have Reached .
 Critical Point.

Critical Point.
 Among the most sagacious of Mir. Platt's remarks about Mckinley and his canvass, is his suggestion that after the noise of the preliminary booming is over there will be an interval before the St. Louis convention long enough for the delegates to cool off and do some calm and serious thinking.
 The republican conventions just held will complete substantially the roll of delegates; and unquestionably McKin- ley's nomination will be proclaimed by his boomers as foregone conclusion. On the face of the returns of delegates there is every reason to believe that it will look that way. At any rate, his nomination on the first ballot will be made to appear inevitable, in the hope of silencing all opposition to him as futile and political blunder in those who venture to make it. The plan from the first has been to rush him through: and so far as concerns the state conven- tions it seems to have worked pretty successfully. If the St. Louis conven. tion were to be held this week or next week it might go through to the end not less satisfactorily. But will the booming continue to boom during all the weeks still remaining before the actual assembling of the body that is to make the nomination?
 That is another matter, as Mir. Platt suggests. The delegates and the re- publican party will have time to do some thinking about the wisdom of going into the canvass with candidate as to whom the sober sense of the whole union has the gravest doubts. The hys- terics of the booming will give place to sane reflection.
 The same may be said of the Chicago convention. It is still far enough off to enable the democratic party to get into reasonable frame of mind before it is called to order. The silver crowd have often before startled the party with their boasting of the tremendous dem- onstrations they were about to make in conventions and elections; but when the time comes for the fulfillment what has been the result? Instead of making progress and winning victory, the sil- yer faction has gone steadily backward and downward and has encountered only defeat. Every days delay before the Chicago convention will increase the probability that the silver demo- crats will there be overcome finally They are fighting for hnmbug which will not stand calm discussion.
 It is the same with the Mckinleyites in the republican party. They are try ing to put up humbug to be run in campaign of dup!icity and false pre- tense.-N. Y. Sun.

Modern MAxirnS.

Marriage is very often mirage.
 Most men prefer eating to reading
 Love is the one universal microbe.
 Most women prefer new dress to a new friend.
 The serum of possession is often a cure for the disease of love.
 Life is a skein of yarn that often breaks while it is being unwound.
 The reason so many men remain single is that whisky is Is cents per drink.
 Life is an egg that very often proves bad when we daintily crack the shell.
 There is nothing happier than an old bachelor, save, perhaps, two old bache- lors.
 The reason that so many women re- min single is that they generally have confidential friends.
 Many people are so in love with life that they unwittingly hasten death by their enjoyment of it.
 It is almost impossible for girl who is it love to make good cake She is sure to get it too sweet.-Florida Times Union.

NlGHTFAlL ON THE FARM.

Upon the porch at even
 We two together stood. And listened to the tinkle
 Of sheep-bells in the wood. The locust trees bent OCT us,
 White blossoms dropping down, And, fringed with flowers, before us The path lay bare and brown. We heard the sheep-bells music Far off and dreamy grow; We saw the white flowers sprinkle The lawn like fiecks of snow: The roses drew back shyly
 Into the silent dark, but though their haunts were shaded Their perfume we could mark. Up in locust's branches
 A little bird said "cheep'- Twas all that broke the silence: The whole world seemed asleep. Good night" she said. T love you!" l said. She did not speak. But swift she leaned toward me With tears upon her cheek. Philip L. Barker, in Chicago Record

again. Tell me the truth. and I will give you my word that you will no. lose your jobs.
 Then the two boys confessed. Dur. ing the long nights they would become sleepy. Sometimes one would fall asleep. Then if train came the other could not get an answer from him. One night Smith was sleeping soundly and Jones could not get any answer. He did not like to hold the train, for fear smith would lose his job. So he let the train go through. He knew it was perfectly safe, for Smith could not let train in without calling him up. When the train came cut of the tunnel 1t wakened Smith, and Jones told him what he had done. Then they arranged a scheme so they could both sleep. They always kept the red block down, so that no train could enter the tunnel while they slept. If one called and received TO answer he knew the other was asleep. and, therefore, the track must be clear. and he let the train in.
 One night both were sleeping as usual. A coal train came to Jones' end of the tunnel. The whistle of the train wakened Jones. He called to Smith and received no answer. So he knew Smith was sleeping and the tunnel was clear. He asked the conductor to throw him off n little coal for his fire, as he was entirely out. The conductor threw of two or three Jumps and the train started into the tunnel. Those few Jumps of coal cost the road thousands of dollars. and 1 believe they cost two men their lives.
 Jones went outside to pick up the coal as the train pulled out. Being out side the tower, the noise of the train drowned that of his instrument, and he did not hear Smiths call. A freight train had come to Smiths end of the tunnel at the exact moment that Jones was picking up the coal. As Smith did not get any answer he thought, of course, Jones was asleep and the track clear. So he let the freight in. Then the two trains came together in the tunnel.
 "The president of the road kept his word with the boys, but he took them off that tunnel and gave them daylight jobs, where they were not so likely 70 sleep, and could not do so much damage if they did sleep. Those are but three of the many stories like them that have come under my personal observation" Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.

A Canine Peculiarity,

Everyone has noticed the peculiar habit of all dogs ill turning round sev- eral times before lying down. This idiosyncrasy is believed to be due to the habits of the wild animal, which found it necessary to turn round in weeds or grass several times in order to break them down for bed.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Silent as the sphinx.

No less than 22 direct questions touch ing his financial and tariff views, sub. mitted to him by the Herald correspon. dent, Mir. Mckinley gave but the one stereotyped answer: ''I have nothing to say" Nothing to say as to free coin age. Nothing to say as to the tariff Nothing to say as to schedules, as to deficits, as to tbe gold and silver contest threatening the very business life of the government--on all these points, to all these questions, Mckinley has nothing to say! But the people have something to say, fortunately. They never yet have elected a coward and trimmer to the chief executive office. They are not likely to begin now. The man who has nothing to say" because he dare not say it, will wish he had had some. thing to say when he reads the election returns.-Albany Argus.

Friends Saw Him Freeze to Death.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. TO-
The steamer Willapa, from Alaska,
brings particulars of distressing ac-
cident which occurred on July A at the
head of Turnagain, on Cooks inlet. A
party of prospectors was crossing q
glacier. A thin sheet of ice secreted o
crevice, and when they trod upon this
in crossing the ice gave way, precipi-
tating two men into chasm scarcely
three feet wide.
One who was carrying a gun was
saved by the gun acting as cross-bar.
The other, G. Kennah, and aged Mount
Vernon, Wash, shoe merchant, fell
with awful force to the bottom, depth
of about 80 feet, becoming tightly jam
med in the crevice between two walls
of solid ice. The others of the party
tied blankets together and attempted to
pull him out, but he was so tightly
wedged in that he could not be moved.
He ceased to speak an hour and twenty
minutes later, having been frozen to
death.

The vulgar and overbearing Hanna is
no exaggerated symbol of the issue
which today divides the people. Pre-
cisely as he denied to his workmen the
right to combine for mutual protection
against his exactions, so the party of
which he is the ruler-a party which
has ceased to be republican and has be-
come plutocratic strives to make mon
ey usurp the powers of men and deny
to the people the right to protect them
selves by their votes. AS he made a
presidential candidate with money, so
seeks he now to make him president
by the same ignoble means. AS to his
aid has come every monopolist, every
trust magnate, every tax-eater and
every parasite upon our economic sys-

are lean that Hanna and his kind must

A Farmers Question.

A few weeks ago farmer from She'll
mound walked into the store of Chat
tanooga grain merchant to inquire the
price of corn. "Twenty-eight cents,
he was told. "The freight from She'll
mound here is IS cents per hundred, :"
said he. "How under heaven can 1
clothe my family at such price !"
How, indeed If someone were to
give that farmer crop of corn, stand
ing in the field and ready to be harvest
ed, he could hardly afford to gather it,
to sack it, and to come to Chattanooga
to sell it for the miserable pittance it
would bring.
1t is going to be hard to convince
that toiler that the coin he receives as
the net price of five and half bushels
of his corn is an honest dollar. He is
too apt to remember that more and
more and more drops of sweat have
been wrung from his brow to earn that
dollar with each successive year of the
past fifteen. He is going to recall
the fact that bushel of wheat, a bush
ell of corn and bushel of oats, the
three standards grains which he raises,
brought an aggregate price of $3.50 on
the farm fifteen years ago, and that
they yield but 81 cents today. He is
going to note the fact that somebody's
dollar has more than doubled in those
fifteen years, and that other peoples
wheat and corn and oats have fallen
with the same deadly steadiness in
which those dollars have risen.
We place the spectacle of this de-
spairing farmer before the people who
are so solicitous lest some of the un-
earned increment of the dollar shall be
taken away.
Over against him we would set
Dives, hugging his gains and crying
out: 81 will not surrender any part Of
them, and we would say to Americas
voters: "Choose you between these
men, for the time has come when you
must choose" :"
There, ON the one hand, sits the
toiler whose recompense will not yield
his family decent clothes. There upon
the other sits the idle holder of some
pieces of coin. A law is above them
both which year after year has taken
from the scanty store of the one to
add to the already brimming Golfers Of
the other. The time has come when il
can take no more from the producer
store if it is to leave him better than
serf.

which is upon the lips of millions il
