IT is little early to begin the next
presidential campaign, but a " Bryan
wagon" with two volunteer speakers
has started from Kansas for the east, to
carry the gospel of free silver to the
benighted citizens of that section. The
volunteers will probably find that the
men they have started out to convert
know more about the money question
than they do.

! THAT foreign nations should be will
ing to do whatever is practicable to
reduce the duty likely to be placed on
their goods coming into the United
States is not surprising, but nobody
supposes that their alleged protests
will be of any Importance. By way OF
showing of how little value their state
ments are, an investigation has been
made in Washington of the assertions
made by Editor Klett, one of the SoPth
American guests, in his Cincinnati
speech recently, in which he complained
that the United States was about
placing for the first time duty on
Argentine wool, and asserted that the
balance of trade between the two
countries was in favor of the United
States; also that the tariff laws of his
own country placed our machinery,
petroleum, and other articles on the
free list. An investigation of the facts
shows that the statements are all
grossly inaccurate. Argentine woods
have been compelled to pay tariff
under republican legislation in the
past, the balance of trade is just tie
reverse of the statement made by Mr..
Klett, and the Argentine tariff levies
duties of from 5 to 40 per cent. on
American machinery, with the excep-
ton of that for farm use, while the
duties on kerosene amount to nearly
cents per gallon. If this is sample OF
the statements upon which foreign
countries are basing their protests
against our proposed tariff legislation,
it is not surprising that our own states
men pay no attention to them.

IT will be great disappointment to
the people who had hoped that the
tariff issue would embitter the gold
democrats against the republicans to
find members of that party co-operat-
ing with the republicans for the defeat
of the silver democrats everywhere this
fall, but it is quite apparent that the
democrats who opposed the election of
Bryan last fall will be as earnestly
against the silver candidates this year.

Aid. Gonnermann Serves Notice That He
Will Contest Payment
The meeting of the council Monday
night was called for the purpose of
taking action on the improvement
notices tor paving Chicago street and
Prairie avenue.
The notices were passed and ordered
published by the following vote: Ayes
Jacobs, Berns, Frost. McGivern and
Mayor Culley. Noes-Weyhe, Con-
hermann, German and FRANKIE.
Some of the council claim it takes six
votes in order to carry the same, as an
appropriation of money, while others
say five or a majority of the votes, is
enough. At any rate Alderman Con
hermann gave notice that he would
contest the payment of publishing the
notice and so matters stood as the
council adjourned.

DEMOCRATIC papers IN al parts OF

dug up the mounds at night, and the
prairie dogs barked shrilly, and the
snakes glided along the dry, baked
earth into their holes-antil he was
buried there the two women stayed by
her. Their trust in the dead man never
faltered. The girl believed he had been
ensnared on his death-bed; the wife.
that he had never loved the childish,
pretty Virginian. Yet neither-out of
pity-spoke her convictions.
Watching over his mother they sat in
the room where he had died, and lis
tened to the thud of the soldiers feet
as they marched by outside. following
the young officers fag-covered coffin.
Then there was long, long silence.
They were wide apart-the wife with
her beautiful head in her hands; the
girl, looking straight at the wall; the
old woman muttering and scratching at
her gown with her crooked fingers.
At last came the sound of far-off
| volley of musketry. The girl jumped
up "What's that?"

In moment it came again The girl
stood swaying. The wife sat with her
head still bowed. It was no new sound

COULDN'T AGREE.
A Jury of Lawyers That Disguised the
Judge.

A Jury of Lawyers That Disguised the
Judge.
81 think it was in 1885," said an old
member of the Cleveland bar, when the
supreme court judges used to go from
county to county, on horseback or in
buggies, and hold court. On the occa-
sion referred to court was being held
in the courthouse that stood on the
south side of the public square. The
judges were: Judges Hitchcock, Eben-
ezer Lane, Reuben Wood and Frederick
Grimke; Harvey Rice was clerk and NJ
r. Keith, deputy. The case on trial
and in which the late Sherlock J. An
6rews and Henry B. Payne were at
torneys, I believe, was one concerning
Il contract and jury was demanded
There were not so many people hanging
around the courthouse as there are now
waiting for jury job, and Judge Hitch
cock Immediately ordered a jury of the
lawyers present. The legal gentIemen
tried every way to get out Of it, but the
Judge was memorable. Twelve lawyers
were selected and sent into the box.
I don't remember all their names now
but there were Herman Hurlbut, Wool
sey Wells, Edward Wade, and, I be-
lieve, Messrs. Bolton and Kelly. Final
ly the case was concluded and the jury
sent out. They were locked up for the
day and returned at night with the
word that they could not agree. Judge
Hitchcock said they ought to agree and
sent them back for another day. In
vain they pleaded important business;
there was no help for them. At the end
of the second day they reported that
they could not agree. Word was sent
back that the court saw no reason why
they could not agree and that they must
try it again. But in vain. At two
o'clock of the third day they were
called out, and as there was no posi-
BILE hope of their agreeing they were dis
charged. Judge Hitchcock was dis,
gusted and I don't believe that he ever
held another case before a jury of thai
kind.'-Cleveland Leader.

HAPPINESS.

~Oh, what is lover" asked a maid,
Who quick on me her bright eye bent
And smiled as only youth can smile,
Herself its sweet embodiment.
20, love-, she said, SIS life's best part
And blushed that I should read her heart.
80, what Is lover" I asked again,
And this time of a matron fair;
"A light shone in her happy eyes
And fingered on her Silvering hair.
20, love-" she said, lis all of life
And smiled as smiles the happy wife.
20, what is love?'' still inquired,
AS by an aged saint stood.
Her wfstful eyes looked into mine,
Revealing all her tender mood.
To her I knew great truths were given.
Love. cid you say? Why, love is Heaven
And so I found, whate'er the state,
That love and happiness are one.
That they who learn its lessons we'll
May claim the comforting well done. y
That life below and life above
Is but another name for love.
