"Protection and sound money is
the keynote of the republican State
platform.
Since silver monometalism is ideal
protection, the keynote is Il colossal
contradiction.
No less so is that other combination
of tariff for revenue only and free
coinage.
Protection and free coinage will
protect alike the coal miner and the
silver miner.

Nothing is more significant than the
Mckinley sentiment in New England.
Mr. Reed is strong man and entirely
ut to be President OF the United States.
Sectional good feeling will give him at
the start more OF the vote OF New Eng
land than Mckinley will get but It is
a fact not to be denied that In his own
section there Is a tremendous sentiment
In favor Of Mckinley
In New England as in the rest of the
country Republicans look to Mckinley
as the foremost living champion of
protection. and they look to protection
as the country's salvation. If Reed
we're not in the field Mckinley would
get the larger part of New England
on the first ballot. AS It is he will get
that part when Reeds nomination shall
be seen to be impossible.
This may easily come to pass before

the story as it was told to me, and 1t
was told me for fact. A man fell from
a housetop in the city Of Aberdeen. and
was brought into hospital with broken
bones, He was asked what was his
trade, and replied that he was n Taper.
No one had ever heard Of such a thing
before; the officials were filled with
curloslty;they besought an explanation.
It appeared that when party OF skaters
were engaged upon roof they would
now and then be taken with u fancy
for the public house. Now, seamstress,
for example, might slip away from her
work and no one be the wiser, but
II these fellows adjourned the tapping of
the mallets would cease, and thus the
nelghborhood be advised Of their
dereliction. Hence. the career OF the
Taper, He has to do the tapping and
keep up an industrious hustle on the
housetop during the absence of the
skaters.
When he taps for only one or two
the thing is chlld's play, but when he
has to represent a whole troop 1t is then
that ne earns his money in the sweat Of
his brow. Then must he bound from
spot to spot, re-duplicate. triplicate, sex
duplicate his single personality, and
swell and hasten his blows, until he
produces a perfect Illusion for the ear.

California.

Jacks by the Thousands Slaughtered In
California.
In tine states of California, idaho,
Oregon, Utah and Texas, says the New
York Journal there Is great fear among
the farmers that tho jack rabbit may
become as great a pest as he Is In Aus
traliR, where his presence Is scourge.
The secretary of agriculture says that
the fear Is groundless. but the ranch-
men out there are taking no chances.
and In the states named the long-eared
destroyer Of crops Is outlawed and. there
Is q price upon his head.
The farmers are Obliged to combine
against the common enemy. and the
rabbit drives Of Colorado and califor-
MIA, while they have certain eie-
ment OF sport and general frolic. are
nevertheless a very serious business.
The department Of agriculture hns Just
issued monograph upon the subject
OF Jack rabbits,
In California rabbit driving has been
found the most effective means Of ex-
Terminating these prolific animals. This
method originated with the Indians.
The day the rabbit drive is held is n
gala one, and Is favorlte time to cele-
brate some special event. Thousands OF
people come in from the surrounding
country.
A corral about two acres In extent
having been built, the drives are de-
ployed in q line ranging from the corral
for 1--WE or ten miles. At given ino-
ment the line starts to move toward
the centre Horns are blown. and any
thing that viii make noise Is utilized
Firearms are tabooed. With their clubs
the men on foot beat up every patch OF
underbrush.
Great droves Of rabbits are soon in
movement. They are driven, fright
ened. scrambling mass, into the corral,
where their exeeutieRers, armed With
clubs, beat out their brains. An aver
age drive will yield 10000 rabbits. The
Fresno event resulted In the killing OF
over 10000.
