Judging from the tone of the New York
World in its discussion of the bond mat
ter it would seem that Editor Pulitzer is
very much disgruntled because he will
have to pay ia for his 100000 of bonds.
while Pierpont Morgan will get his bonds
for little more than 10. However, Ed
itor Pulitzer's patriotism will prove prof.
table to him. 1t is said he has already
received from reliable New York house
an offer of lis for the whole lot. which
offer has been declined. He evidently
thinks his patriotic services are worth
more than that profit

Whenever there is an objection in the
South Carolina legislature to the passage
of a new law. some member gets up and
tells the body that Georgia has just such
a law, and that it works beautifully. And
that settles the question. Recalcitrant
members come up to the scratch at once,
and the bill is passed. 1t is just possible
that the recalcitrant members are occa-
sionally buncoed.

The populist determination to block the
republican game of the further reorganiza-
tion of the Senate looks like base ingrat-
itude The republicans have. given the
populists command Of the most import

in their power to control financial legis.
lation. That is pretty big price to pay
for the patronage of the Senate, and the
populists really ought to let their CO.

people have their little swag.

There are mutterings in Washington
among the new republican members of
the House against the bossism of Speaker
Reed, and it is said there is probability
that there will be a revolt. The new
members think the speaker has disregard

they are somewhat disposed to assert
themselves. The belief is that they viii

Two bills, having as their purpose the
restriction of immigration. are pending in
congress. One proposes rigid consular ex-
animation of all would-be immigrants at
the port of departure. and the other pro-
poses an educational test 1t is likely that
bill embracing both of these features
will be reported shortly to the House. 1t
is said that thousands of petitions pray

The Farmers Alliance has dropped the
sub-treasury plan from its platform. That
is one result of campaign of education on
financial matters. Three years or so ago
the sub-treasury plan was more delightful
to the mind of the Alliance politician than
the 16 to 1 idea is to the populist of to-
day. Every Alliance meeting adopted a
platform in which the sub-treasury scheme
was made a demand" Now the ode
mand" has been abandoned entirely. Ag-
itation has convinced the farmers that
what they need is money as good as the
best. Agitation will convince them that
free silver coinage is not the means to
the end of retaining money as good as any
in the world. And then the 16 to l idea
will die out. as the sub-treasury idea has
done

for the entry fee and 81 cents for the
land. The homestead is but small
sand pit, situated about one mile from
the ocean, whose tide flows into the lake
from an inlet about that distance from
the isle. Mr.. Haley makes about $50
per month from his investment, as the
island is just in the path Of green and

The Lord ch.ne.llor.. pur.e.

When the lord chancellor enters the
house of lords to preside over its deliber-
atoms, he is accompanied by his purse
bearer - This functionary, however,
does not carry the purse of the lord
chancellor, which would be q weighty re-
sponsibility, as his lordship draws a
salary Of e10, 900 year. The purse the
"pursebearer" solemnly carries, as, ar
rayed in court dress, he precedes the lord
chancellor to and from the house of lords,
Is gorgeous satchel, embroidered with
the royal arms and other heraldic devices
in white and gold and lined with the
richest silk. IL Is supposed to contain
the great seal. As matter Of fact, that
emblem Of a mighty sovereignty is new
or in the satchel II it were, the respon-
sibility Of the pursebeaIer' would be
great--much greater indeed than il he
had to bear purse that carried a salary
Of el0, 600 a year.
The ceremony Of carrying the purse in
the house of lords is but one Of the many
venerable fictions which play pictur-
esque part in the parliamentary pro-
cedure- The purse is placed on the wool
sack. 1t indicates that the lord chan
cellor is in possession Of the great seal
and therefore entitled to perform his
duties as speaker Of the house of lords.

This il the way new potatoes are man
ufactured in Paris: Old potatoes, the
cheapest and smallest that can be pur-
chased, are bought by the rafistoleurs
de pommes dc terre. as they are called,
who carry their property to the banks Of
the Seine, good supply of water being
necessary. The potatoes are put into
tubs half filed with water; then they
are vigorously stirred about by the feet
and legs Of the manufacturers, who roll
mp their trousers and stamp ON the raw
potatoes until they have not only com
pletely rubbed OF their dark skins, but
have also given them that smooth and
satinlike appearance which is SO Iuuch
appreciated by gourmands They are
then dried. neatly wrapped in paper and
arranged In small baskets. which are

wished to engage board for some woman

him the rooms. he expressed himself as

other, and with an expressman with

Miss Altman advanced and politely
requested an explanation. This caused
the gentleman to grow very red in the
face. while the valet rolled his eyes in
disapproval and the expressman waited.
The gentleman declared that he had
come to take possession Of the rooms he
had engaged and had been refused the

Fighters of Indians need to be men Of
quick wit and steady hand. Such a
man was John Hawks, Que Of the set
tiers of Hadley. Mass. An exploit of this
pioneer in 1876 is narrated by the his
torian of Deerfield. The Indians had
made an attack upon Hatfield. and
troops from other towns bad gone to the
rescue. Among the mon from Hadley
was John Hawks.
Soon after the Hadley men got ashore
John Hawks, who was behind tree,
heard some one call him by name A
Pocumtuck Indian, who had taken a
position behind another tree, had recog-
nized Hawks as an old acquaintance.
Hawks returned the compliment, and
fach man began haunting the other and
daring his enemy to come into the open
and fight the thing out.
The Indian had the best of it and
was perfectly aware of his advantage.

All at once he sprang from behind his

raise his gun or reach his cover gave
him fatal shot. It was all the work of

wounded in the ensuing fight, lived to
fight other battles.
