When politics is comparatively quiet
in given state, it may be taken for
granted that its people are prosperous
and SO busy making money that they
have no time to waste elsewhere.

It seems that it is crime against the
law in Turkey for a Christian to do so
nlnch as to even present petition TO

4 perfect sample of the average for
eign correspondence lie was. the cable
dispatch that the czarina had undergone
q terrible surgical operation and was
lying at the point Of death. On the face
of it this story was revealed falsehood
to those skilled in detecting the ear
marks Of cable fabrications. These knew
beforehand that they had only to wait a
couple of days for the whole tale to be
denied, just as actually happened It
would be really very interesting to know
who are the syndicate of liars that keep
the ocean cable redhot with their stu
:pendous fabrications. The matter has
gone so far that it is not joke.

American Manners.

Americans complain sometimes that
Europeans consider us a nation of bar
barians, unacquainted with the ameni
ties and courtesies of refined life.
Well, it is no wonder We do not pre-.
tend to say what the people Of other ma
.tions may or may not do, but we viii.
venture to say that for downright coarse
rudencss and unparalleled cheek anG
impudence Americans at times take the
medal. An instance of this occurred
at the New York horse show. =
young bride and groom were there. Ht
was the descendant Of a serving woman,
she the descendant of ferlymsn, ans
these honest ancestors were among thei1
most reputable ones. But the groou
represented a coronet the bride dolla1
mark. For that reason the great Amer
lean mob at the horse show climbed
over one another and tore one anotiler's
garments, if not their own, to stare at
the pair.
The mob gathered BY the hundred il
front of the seats where the two were.
They climbed into the aisle and 50:
down upon the steps till policemen came
and shouted "Go way from therer
and backed their order with more o.
less force. While the mob stood and
stared it made loud comments and criti
.cisms of the young peoples looks and
style. If any exhibition of manners Car
be more disgraceful Or outrageous, we
hope never to hear Of it, at least in this
country.

HE DID NOT FIGHT.

\ Mexican Warrior Disarmed And
Placed In Jail.
Santiago Mireles was proudly toting
rifle in the ''Storming of the Alamo"
parade last Friday, expecting to be
among the number that would attack
the Alamo. But his fond hopes were
shattered as the parade moved along
the streets.
Deputy Sheriff Wood, of Dewitt
county, happened to be in the city,
and while looking at the procession
he noticed a face that seemed famil-
lar to him. He had seen that face be-
fore and called Deputy Sheriff Van
Ripers attention to it. The latter
thought he recognized him, and in or
der to get better acquainted, Mireles
was taken into custody. He was re-
lieved of his rifle and bayOnet, and
placed in the county Jail, where he
spent the night.
Mireles does not deny that he is an
ex-convict of Dewitt county, and he
is being held on a charge of assault
to murder. He is also wanted in
Karnes county.

A. c. F., Kokomo: /. If the United
States should go to a silver basis. duties
would be paid in silver on the silver basis.
AS you apprehend, such payment would re-
suit in a reduction of the duties measured
in gold. The importer would pay the
amount of silver dollars that he now pays
in gold or its equivalent. If the silver dol
lars were worth but sixty cents in gold.
the duties he would pay would be only 60
per cent. Of what he now pays. In other
words, silver payment would be equivalent
to a reduction of duties equivalent to 40
per cent. IL the silver dollar were worth SO
cents. 2. Invoices of goods imported are
made in the country exporting. and should
be sworn to at the actual cost of the
goods. The exporter must declare that the
currency paid for the goods is that In
which the invoice is made. This country
would be on a silver basis as a result or
free coinage, not of a law making silver
the standard, consequently. the duties
could be paid on the gold valuation abroad
as the laws now stand.

and sur~rendering her husband TO them,
Tor at least long enough for them 10 dis

time. TO their intense annoyance, II has
been impossible for them TO have a single
interview with the candidate without haV-

the lady indicate any intention OF surren-
dering him. At the Madison-square Gar
den demonstration she caused considerable
commotion by her determination 10 SIT on
the platform beside her husband, and IT
was only after much difficulty that she
could be dissuaded from her INTENTION;
During the entire time that the nauonai
committee was in New York there WAS
never a moment when Mrs. Bryan would
permit the committeeman to talk conn
dentiaily with her husband unless she Mas
IN the room. and so II has Deen ever sNlcc.
Mr.. Bryan's invitation to the fishing camp;
where he spent several days. was EXTENDED
IN the hope that the hardsnips OF the pro-
posed stag party would deter MIS-, Dry
to the annoyance OF the host Mrs. Bryan
promptly joined the party. Mrs. brsai
also accompanied her husband TO the oin-
ner which Senator Hill gave Mr.; bryan at
came as a thunderclap &c the gentlemen
who were to meet under Mr.. Hilrs roof.
All these various invitations have been
extended 10 Mr.. Bryan not only for the
want a chance to talk to the man on tne
practical details OF the coming cam
paign. and Democratic politicians Will not
enjoyed the distinction of being the first
female guest that ever crossed the thresh-
hold of "Woolferts Rost." and therefore
Senator Hills house was defeated. Hence
the national committee will feel very
grateful to some one TO intimate to Mrs.
Bryan that they would be glad 10 see her
go home for a little while and turn over
the boy candidate to the men who are TO
make him the boy President. IL they can
