LET DOWN EASY.

When Mr.. IIlden was occupying the
gubernatorial chair of the state Of
New York and had under consideration
the appointment of a Judge friend Of
Judge Peskham, who was a candidate
for the place, was urging the judges
claim, and besought the assistance of a
lady, who at that time happened to be 3
visitor at the gubernatorial mansion.
Although at that time everything
seemed reasonably to indicate the ap-
pointment of Judge Peckham, the lady
assured her questioner that his candi-
date had no chance whatsoever. Sure
enough, another man was appointed,
and in the course of time it came about
that Gov. Tilden learned of the surpris-
ing prescience of his fair guest. He
asked her how she was able to divine
his intentions so clearly in regard to this
particular man. "Why," she said, shat
was not difficult. You brought him
home to dinner one day and that of itself
made me suspect. Then at the table
you set before him your choice johann
nisberg wine, and knew from that mo-
ment that he had no chance of appoint
ment. The man who has your johann
nisberg is to be let down easy"

Carolina, was given his just de-
serts, he would be expelled from
the United States senate for having
insulted that body upon the two
occasions he has delivered haran-
CUES on the floor of the senate
chamber, by copious use OF I'M
gentlemanly language. Other
senators have criticised other pub
lie men just as harshly as Tillman
did and it being their right to do
so no objections has been made,
but no other senator has ever
belched forth such a deluge of
billingsgate as Tillmann did, and
the worst feature Of it is that he
claims all his blackguardism to be
done in the name of the people
and in the interest of reform. The
reform of which Tillman is the
apostle is truly to be pitied How
hollow it is may be judged from
the fact that Tillman drew his
salary as senator for the period he
was travelling in the west making
BLACKBOARD speeches, without a
blush. Some of the ablest silver
men in congress believe that Till
man has done the cause of silver
irreparable injury by his wild
talk. 1t must be CALLING to South
Carolinisns to read Tillman's
boast that he has the electoral vote
of that state completely under his
control and can place it wherever
he pleases. A more disgusting or
disgraceful boast was never pub
licly made in this country. 1t is
little more than the boldest polit-
ical boss has ever dared to do.
1t is believed that when Senator
Hill stated in his speech, on the
floor of the senate, that he didn't
believe Mr.. Cleveland would
again be a candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination, that the foxy
New Yorker was trying to smoke
Mr.. Cleveland out and get him to
make a definite declaration of his
intentions. The wording Of the
platform adopted by the Michigan
democratic convention, which was
probably prepared by Don Dick
inson, has increased the belief in
Washington that Mr.. Cleveland
intends to capture the nominate
on for himself unless the silver
democrats make it impossible by
capturing the Chicago convention.
Although democratic senators
have assured their republican col
leagues that they would do moth
ing to prevent an early adjourn
ment, there is belief in some |
quarters that the assurance had a |
string tied to it which will become
when the republicans re-
port q resolution to the senate set
ting date for adjournment.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
McKINLEY's NOMINATION IS AN
ASSURED FACT.
Even Friends Of His Opponents Believe He
Will Be The Nominee. His Follow
ers Say He Will Get it By
Acclamation.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., May A.
While nothing is certain in poll
tics until 1t has been accomplished
the impression is we'll nigh general
in congress, although a few of
those who are committed to other
candidates will not publicly admit
as much, that Gov. Mckinley will
be nominated for the presidency by
the st. Louis convention. The
original Mckinley men express
confidence that no ballot will be
taken but that the nomination
will be made by reclamation. or
course 1t is possible that some-
thing may occurr that will change
matters, and it is largely upon that
something that the opponents Of
Gov. Mckinley are now banking,
but from the best obtainable infor-
nation in Washington it looks at
this time as if Mckinley was
bound to win.
Members of the house are dispo-
sed to resent the action Of the SEN
ate in reducing the number Of bat
tleships provided for in the naval
appropriation bill from 4 to 2, and
the house will probably refuse to
agree to the senate amendment
The house often refuses to agree tC
senate amendments, but somehow
or other the senate nearly always
succeeds in having its way, and al
members of the house are much
more anxious to get home-som'
of them have got to fight for re-
nomination-than the senator's
this will probably not be an excep'
tion to the rule, if the senate refu
ses to recede. But the vote in favol
of the amendment was close 81 t.
p and upon.a fuller attendance o
the senate, enough votes may b.
obtained to recede from the amend
ment.
The house passed the genera
bankruptcy bill by vote of 157 tt
81. Whether the bill will be dis
posed of by the senate at this ses
sion is not yet certain. 1t will de
pend largely on whether an agree
ment can be reached to limit tn,
debate to q given time.

WHY ENGLAND is GREAT.

Naval Superiority.

Naval Superiority.
How was it that half an island over
which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed
into the worldwide empire over which
Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore
most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it
must be referred to the qualities of the
race, their energy and adventurous
spirit, their capacity to colombo, to rule
subject races, and to administer their
affairs. That race was sprung of sue
cessive seafaring invoders of these is
lands who were trained for generations
in the arduous defense of these shores,
and taught to achieve naval superior
ity as necessity of their position.
AS early as Edward Ill. the sover-
eighty of the narrow seas was asserted,
and conceded as q matter of course by
the people of the low countries. As
centuries rolled on, the insularity of
our position became more marked as
our possessions in Europe dwindled
away. The drill sergeant, who is the
artifieer of German fortunes, has had
no ascendency in these islands, whose
preoccupations have not risen from mil
ltary empires on their boundaries. Naval
superiority has been the guarantee of
our shores, and at the same timo the
foundation Of an empire which has
grown up beyond the seas. The same
qualities which achieved ordered liberty
at home spread commerce, settlements
and empires abroad.

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle .
Fire with Them.

Dub has INot INC InItlIBtuCc 10 "
Fire with Them.
No creature but man has ever made
use of fire. An African traveller, indeed,
has told story of apes making thiev-
ing raid on a camp of natives, and car
rying torches to light their way; but
this story lacks proof, and is not ac-
cepted as true by biologists.
There is, however, says the Youths
Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi-
cal garden monkey who has learned to
scratch matches perfectly well. This
accomplishment he is willing to exhibit
on any occasion. He has learned to hold
the match by its middle part, so that
his fingers are not burned by being too
near the flame, and so that the match
will not break by being held too near the
other end.
This fact involves another, that he is
aware which end has the sulphur, and
does not attempt to scratch the unsul-
phured end. He has furthermore
learned that rough surface is better to
scratch the match ON than a smooth one,
and his care in looking for the rough
places is very diverting..
But with all these intelligences, the
monkey has no notion of kindling an
other fire with the one that he has
caused by the friction of the match. He
simply let's the match burn out, and if
he lights another, does it for the pleas
ure of seeing it burn.
This monkeys keepers, and the men
of science who are experimenting with
his intelligence, hope to communicate
to him eventually an idea of fire making
and using; but from the moment they
succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue
ceed-it will be necessary to keep
matches out of his reach.

Rainbow Coiors Play Hide and Seek Among
the Falling Drops.

The citizens of the school district of
Cassville have by resolution passed at
special meeting. held Jan. 27th.,
leased to the village of Cassville suf-
ficient ground of the school lot to To-
cate and operate an artesian well.
There is but little doubt that a flow

moderate cost and the school lot is an
ideal location for such well. In
Imagination we see in the shadow of
the old brick school where the writer
spent four happy years leading. driv-

gent and strong-willed Cassvillian
youth into ways of rectitude and un-
derstanding, a gushing fountain whose
medicinal and sparkling waters form
veritable Fountain of Youth to
cheer and rejuvenate mankind.
Through shady retreats of the sur
rounding flower bedecked park walk
sentimental lovers, slipping alternate
~ invigorating drafts of artesian well
water and the loye-ex citing nectar of
each others lips; breathing into will
ing ears youthful hopes and extrava-
giant desires and into their own nos
trils the seductive fragrance of ver-
dant groves and apple blossoms, gaz-
ing in reverential awe at the ever
present, grand and picturesque beau
ties of nature, the towering bluffs.

river with its ceaseless flow, symbol
of mystery and power; and contem-
plating with heaving bosoms and
throbbing hearts the romantic tradi-
tons of Maiden's Rock whose bold re-
lief is the foreground of the enhancing
picture and from whose dizzy height
a dusky Indian maiden chanted a
death song and stilled forever the
throbbing of her troubled heart by
casting her chaste form on the Jagged
rocks below, rather than be false to
her lover and marry chieftain OF
her fathers choice.
All these and other thoughts, too
fanciful to be recorded in a dignified
staid family journal like the HERALD,
are awakened by the Thought OF an
Overlooking fountain on the romantic
slopes by the old brick school. We
hope Cassville's artesian hopes are

who IsLosing Money

Several Lancaster boys, eight to
twelve years old, have Of late been
spending considerable money at the
restaurants. They bring silver dol
lars and have them changed into
nickels and one-cent pieces. One day
last week one of the boys had three
silver dollars changed in this way dur
ing the day. On Monday the same
boy in company with another boy, and
several little chums waiting on the
walk outside, spent and had changed
two silver dollars. The boys have
evidently discovered a silver mine
somewhere, and the object of this
item is to warn the owner that they
are working it hard. Monday even
ing the boys were accused of coming
by so much money dishonesty and
they told so many conflicting stories
about it that there is certainly some
thing wrong. We have in our posses
sion a small black pocketbook which
contains money taken from one of the
BOYS last Monday. Nobody claims it
and now that the ball is open, the boys
from whom it was taken do not seem
to want ii very badly either. Good

The Lost Was Found.

Frank Baldwin of the Reporter office
came around Saturday afternoon to
see the HERALD printers. He had his
hands in his pants pockets and they
worked nervously as though feeling
for something that was not there.
This with the extremely distressed
look on his face caused us to ask:
..What is the matter. Frank?n
.'I'm in trouble" he answered. Il
want you to put an item in the HER
AID. Say that lost it. | suppose
some dishonest cuss will find lt--of
course not one in five hundred would
give it back to me if he did find it
but you can put it in anyway" And
he walked around by the stove in a
bent over, all-gone-inside manner that
caused us much anxiety and created
in us a great desire for further par
ticulars.
What is it, Frank? Lost your cud
-slung a shoe-or what's the rip?'
40. I'm in hard luck. | went over
to the court house closet No. 3. Laid
on the seat my pocketbook containing
$21.37 in money and some bone collar
buttons, with plug of tobacco and a
Yale kew which belonged to the Re-
porter office door. / forgot and left
them there and just now when | went
back to look for them the pocketbook
and key were gone, but | got the plug
which had not been taken.n And he
fairly groaned as he showed his hands
deeper into his empty pockets.
OF course this was matter of grave
concern as we could not remember of
a printer getting together at one time
so large an amount of money. Soon
after, we wandered in an aimless way
up to Baxter & Draper's corner, think
ing the while of Franks misfortune,
where we met Editor Howe, Will AL
tizer, Sheriff Dyer and others. Mr..
Dyer. after listening to our recital,
pulled from bis pocket the pocketbook
and key. On opening it, there, snugly
folded up in one compartment, were
four fiye-dollar bills, $l.37 in hard
money and some bone collar buttons.
just then Frank walked up and the
sheriff handed him his property. The
best of it all is that Grant county has
an honest sheriff.
