find in The universe SPOT whereon to set his
foot.
Meddlers are like mosquitoes; they tor

Hypocrites otter use scriptural quotation
as funnel through which to drop poison

She stopped, showing some surprise.
"Say," said Stephen, Sweetest sigher;
Say, shall Stephen spouseless stay?"
Susan, seeming somewhat shyer,
Showed submissiveness straightway.

HAVE REprRLIcANs 4 REMEpY.

When the democratic party had control Of
congress it was natural that the country
should look to it for some sort Of legislation
for the benefit Of the people; it was natural
that the country should expect it to confirm
the pledges and provisions il had made, says
the Atlanta Constitution. Failing to do this
thevoiers the country sweptit out Of power,
both in the house aud in the senate, with the
result that the republican party is now in po-
sition to shape and control legislation in con
gress. i has control Of both houses, and
the people are waiting to see what it is going
to do.
Is il necessary 70 point out TO the republic
ans that the time is ripe for such legislation
as will settle the financial question and re-
store the stability that is at once the essence
and basis Of all commerce and business? It
is the boast Of the republican organs that
their partyis the party Of intelligence and
culture. Ii the boast has anything to rest on,
then il follows that there is not republican
in congress who fails to perceive that the
business men and producers Of this country
are facing the most serious emergency that
has ever bsen thrust on them since the re-.
public has been established.
We do NOT at this time except even The
business interests Of the money centsrs,
where noney is supposed to be plentiful and
the outlook more than hopeful. The emer.

favored quarters. ItsIands, threatening, be-.

AT free silver conference held

parts getting the most Of it. The greatest
totals for the week were 100 at Ciruela,

most needed, and were Of great benefit to
the stock ranges, by filling up the water

Corn is ripsning and promises good
