"a Sharp Reply"
From the Baltimore Sun Dep.).

In one of his recent speeches in Georgia
ex-Speaker Crisp charged that Hon De
Witt Warner of New York, and other east
ern democrats encompassed the defeat
of the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state banks. This has elected a sharp reply
from Mr.. Warner, through the Atlanta
Journal, in which he shows that its de-
feat was accomplished solely from the
fact that ex-Speaker Crisp appointed as
the chairman of the committee the most
open, uncompromising, vociferous and
ureless enemy of state bank tax repeal
that could have been found on the dem
ocratic side of the House. The moment
he (AIr. Springer was appointed it was
taken for granted that the speaker had
decided to shelve the repeal measure
Mr. Warner shows conclusively that the
vote on the question of naked repeal
was of the dress parade" type. ana was
had solely to give southern representa-
tives an opportunity TO put themselves
right with their constituents.

Reason for Rejoicing.
From Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.)

Michigan, Pennsylvania and Mississippi
held democratic conventions Wednesday,
and the sound money democrats of Ne
braska put themselves on record as in
dorsing the administration and unfolding
the gold standard. The following table
shows the states and territories which
have held conventions so far, and gives
their delegate vote: Alabama %; Col
orado. s; District of Columbia, 6; Massa-
chusetts. so; Michigan, 20; Mississippi, IS;
Missouri, "a; Nebraska, To- Oregon, 8;
Pennsylvania, "a; Rhode Island, 8; Wash
ington, s. Total, 242. ii these the states
of Alabama, Colorado, Mississippi, Mis-
souri, and Oregon have declared for free
silver with a total of ninety votes Wash
ipgton and Nebraska, with twenty-four
votes, are contested, and may be left
out of this calculation. though five of
the Washington delegates are claimed for
the gold standard, and the Nebraska dem
Ocrats have a good chance winning their
fight against the masQuerading pODulists
The District of Columbia made no decla-
ration, and It's delegates are divided so
1t will be left out of this enUmera ton
Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island. with a total of 122 del
egates, declare for the existing standard
The delegates are, therefore, arrayed on
the currency question as follows: For
sound money. 122; for free silver 9Os con-
tested, 80 When we consider, in addition
that great victory has Just been won
in Michigan and another in Memphis we
see that sound money democrats have rea-
son TO rejoice.

Five thousand million dollars That is
an enormous, a fabulous sum of money,
vet that is what the insurance in effect in
this country amounts to- In other words,
the insurance companies owe their policy
holders that enormous sum. Seven millions
of people hold these policies. and not less
than 100000 people are directly interested
in them. These facts were given out at the
annual convention of insurance actuaries
in New York last week. The policy hold
ers are the creditors of the companies for
the immense sum named, and the free sill
verites propose that the companies shall
be permitted to pay their creditors in mon
ey worth one-half as much as the money
the companies have collected from their
policy holders.

Who owns the silver republicans of Col
orado, Wolcott or Teller? Wolcott says
they viii remain true to the party, no mat

Teller says if the convention does not
swallow the populist money plank he and
they will all quit the party. Teller is an
old stager in politics and has been VOL
colts trainer. but the chances are that the
scholar will have the advantage of his
preceptor IN this affair

with the negro in the south before the

Jack was once asked by his young mas

to take plenty of time and think well be-
fore he spoke.
After celebrating several minutes, he
said: We'll, Marse Joe, l want a par
of boots"
Jack" said his master, when you
consider all the number of good things
in this world. can't you think of some
thing better? Try again. Be careful"
We'll, Marse Joe, ! always want TO have
a plenty of fat meat"
Now, Jack, you have one more wish.
Can't you think of something better than
a pair of boots and fat meat?"
After thinking a while, he gave is up,
saying: ''Marse Joe, if I had par Of
boots and plenty of fat meat doan'
want nuthin' mo-"

Why Mahaney Bousht the Drinks.


Representative Rowland Blennernas-
sett Mahaney of Buffalo is not only the
Apollo of the House. says the Baltimore
American, but poses among his fellows as
an authority on photography! orthoepy,
philoiogy and the kindred sciences that
deal with the birth, life and death OF
words. He is proud Of his knowledge or
the ancient history of the irish and scotch
stocks that are so skillfuly blended IN
his genealogical makeup, and these TWO
facts known about him gave Stone OF
Pennsylvania the cue for joke at the
expense of the young New Yorker that
caused his colleagues on the delegation
TO guy him numerically to-day
Stone, who is about as large as ton
OF raw cotton, wandered over 10 Ma
haneys desk, and, reclining upon II with
the repOsetul ease OF WalruS gently ASK
ed: "Mahaney, seeing that you are quite
a word sharp, can you tell me now you
pronounce Mae H-i-n-e-r-y2"
Sure" responded Mahaney, with that
thrill of delicious pleasure every man
feels at being consulted as an authority
on any subject, whether 1T be base bali
or geology, that word would naturally
cause you to hesitate, because you woulG
not know at first whether the word fOi-
lowing the Mac is pronounced kIine-ry,
long IL as in wine, or Hinnery. The lat
ter, however, is the proper RECOMMENDATION,
the family name originally being Ainnery,
the Mac, as you know, simply indicating
that the ancestor Of the present line was
the son Of the original Hinnery. The first
Machinery was a Scotch laird, closely
related to my own family line"
~ Ou don't sayi' unused Stone. Some
one was cOntending that that word was
pronounced machinery but III take your
wore against his"
And then Mahaney smiled painfully ana
Went into the basement where the re-
fectory is located. and bought Stone some
stuff a bride of silence.
