"Cyclone" Davis. the oracle Of pop
ulism, exploded Mr.. Quinn's theory of
prohibitive tariff. Mr.. Davis de-
clares that any tariff for the protection
of American industry is a myth so long
as American securities are held in Eu-
rope. He made it very plain that
America cannot fix the price of her
commodities, either by adopting
high or low tariff, so long as sheemust
pay interest to bond holders abroad.
If Mr.. Davis is correct in his conclu-
sions, Mr.. Quinn, with his ideas OF a
tariff that would prohibit foreign i'm
portations, would be an unsafe con-
gresham.
The election OF a United States
senator is by no means the most i'm.
portant duty for the legislature of 1897
to perform. In fact it is matter of
secondary consideration when COM
pared with abolishing the dozen or
more useless commissions and the cut.
ting down of public expenses. No re-
preventative or senator should be
elected who will agree to block legis-
lation by quibling over the senatorial
contest and for forty days voting for
the caucus nominee. Messrs. Dufur
and Armsworthy, if elected to the state !
senate, will not allow party prejudice |
to govern their action in this matter |
If the senatorial contest threatens to |
prevent needed legislation as it did |
two years ago. They recognize the
rights of the people as greater than the
claims OF any T0uld-be senator. >

A "cocky" little l1ishman who wore a
little pot hat and shcr; clIy pipe entered
u crowded haToom, walled up to the bar,
hunched the patrons aside with his sharp
elbows, lit his short pi, at the cigar light
er, and then walked out without word.
The astonished barkocpcr gazod after him
in amazemont and Gudibly wondered who
he was.
The very next morning the little Irish
man walked into the same place, thrust
the patrons aside with his elbows, lit his
black pipe and started out again. The
barkeeper was spcechloss with rage, but as
the little man reached the door he recov-
cred his voice sufficiently to cry out:
"Say, who are you?"
The little Irishman turned around and
said:
"You know me-"
Then he walked out. The barkeeper
said that he would lay for the intruder the
next day. At about the same hour he re-
appeared, thrust the patrons away from
the cigar lighter, as usual, and lit his short
pipe. He WAS about to turn away when
the vigilant E;rkeepcr grabbed him by the
lapel of his coat.

Among Mr. Noah BTOuAs' "reminiscences
of "Washington In Ldnculn's lime Is
pleasing sketch Of IhadCeus Morris, who
for some years WAS tie special page OF the
speaker Of the house Of representatives
While Mr.. Orr Of south Carolina was
speaker, as it appears he discovered that
Morris, then nothing but boy, had IA sur
prising knowledge Of parliamentary law
and an almost equally surprising memory
for names ard dates.
Speaker orr at once attached Morris to
the speakers chair, where he Kept his place
until his death i'll March, 1864.
Probably lew strangers ever noticed the
tall. slim Young man who leaned ncgli-
gently on the corner of tine speakers mar

the proceedings OF the house, but really re-
garding all that passed with the most
watchful vigilance. The youngster kept
track of the mary confusion OF business
and could disentangio Tor tine sometimes
bewildered speaker the most labyrlnthtne
complication. If IA knotty question of par
liamentary law or precedent arose, he
would solve it with amazing facility.
While the speaker was addressing the
house in u IoriUnclury way, stating the
question at issue III order to consume time,
Morris would silently place before the
speaker reference book after reference book,
with chapter and verse duly marked-cita-
tions from the records of the earliest years
of the government collected for use rs prec-
edents in just such II case us that under
consideration.
The mute prompter's hand was tho COM
pass that enabled the tempest tossed speak
or to steer clear of rocks and shoals on
which he might have wrecked his reputa-
ton as presiding officer.
Morris death was real loss to the
house, but possibly some of the hair split
ting debaters who had failed to trip the
speaker over n question of order did not
regard with unmitigable grief the place
left vacant at the corner of the speaker s
desk.

According to NJ. Nendrout of Calais, the
north of France cultivatcs considerable
quantity of lentis for animal food, espe-
cially for horses On almost every farm
people SOW in Septembc- IL mixture called
''hivcrnache," composed of one-half of
rye, one-fourth of yetch and one-fourth of
lentils. The crop is rire in July, and in
the autumn is reported to be one of the
best stimulants for hDrsos when they have
the heaviest work to do. 1t spares the
oats at the moment when oats are scarce
the old stock being exhausted and the new
crop not fit feed. This mixture offers
great advantages because the rye has grain
at the top of the bunch, yetch in the mid
die, and the lentils, about one foot high
give rich foe ut the bottom of the bunch
where straw has rarely any nutritive quail
tiles. If i. is given whole, the animals
find everywhere good food, and if it is
chopped the mixture is more regular
Sometimes cows are fed with this "hiver-
nache" when the meadow grasses are scarce
and poor, and the milk ut once becomes
more plentiful and richer in butter
