The Globe Democrat exultingly
quotes a Boston hotel-keeper who
thinks with the wish father to the
thoughD that he shifts Whit of pros
perity in the approaching atmosphere.
Just at present, says this optimistic
hash-dispenser, ''the improvement
cannot be noticed very much, but our
way people are feeling better, aud
there is a general sentiment of hope
fulness." just so! 1t is upon such
meat our goldbug Caesars are endeav-
oring to fatten their emaciated follow
ers and the people who were bunkoed
into voting for the Advance Agent last
November. AT that time, however,
the article promised was not the shad-
Ow soup that is being served to-day,
with the hope of little thickening in
the indefinite future. 1t was pie and
pudding then, and ehickeu-6xeus
steaming hot, waiting to be served to
all who should on election day enroll
themselves as guests in the house of
Mckinley.

Mr.. BRYAN says there must be no
compromise with the so-called Demo
Gratis who express a willingness to re-
turn to the fold on the condition that
they are not required to endorse the
Chicago platform. He is right; the
Chicago platform is Democratic from
skin to core, and from core back to
skin again." and not the dot of an ''i''
or the cross of the st" shall be erased
at the request of the cuckoos who
sloughed from the party last fall. In
fact, compromise with them would
be more one-sided than that once made
in ancient times by an heir apparent
for mess of pottage: the Democratic
party is stronger without the traitors
now asking for terms, who could not
even deliver the dish of green's they
promise.

SANITY Willie Crow sees fit to call
us lone of the most bitter partisan
cranks that ever disgraced Gods foot
STOOL" because, forsooth, we had the
impudence to criticise (mildly and
decently) a so-called Memorial Sermon
delivered by Rev. Harry White. In
that ''sermon," it VIII be remembered,
Mr.. White went out of his way to con-
sign the Free Silver cause to the flames
of hell. We didn't think his remarks
in that behalf appropriate to Memorial
Day, and said so; but it seems that
though preacher may indulge in po-
litical inveetive from the pulpit, yet, by
virtue of the calling he processes to
follow, he must not be criticised. ex-
eept at the peril of pious Willie's re-
sentiment, who annihilates us at one
fell blow by calling us ian emissary of
the devil!" Being son of the church by
patent-knowing by intuition and in
struction all that is worth knowing of
hell, damnation and the devil-we pre-
sumo he speaks ex cathedra, and that
there is no appeal from his anathema
maranatha. Willie further says: "Mr.
White told the truth, and, OF course,
truth is something that such fellows as
Eli can't stand. They are not in the
habit of dealing in the article them
selves and, of course, when they see
the cold unvarnished truth in print they
get scared and, like Josh Billings when
he seen the snake, Immediately bear off

THE declaration of the Ohio negroes
that they believe IN ''grape and CAMS

negroes have too much sympathy for
the perpetrators of crimes such as
Mitchell died for. They should uu-

stop lynchings is to stop the cause of

prints this suggestive paragraph:
The third reduction of shop expen-
ses has been made by the Iron Noun
tain railroad company in cutting Satur-
day half IN two and blowing the clos
ing whistle at noon. This reduction
of four hours means nearly $500 a
week taken off. First Mckinley "pros-
perity" caused the road to reduce the
number of hours from nine to eight;
then a number of men were laid off
and now comes a half holiday for
Saturday. All these reductions have
amounted to at least 81, 200 a week or
1900 a month FOR De Soto"

Proceedings Against a Pig.

The animal which most frequently came before the criminal courts was the pig. At Mesnil St. Denis, near Paris, there still exists spot called Truye pendue, after a SOW which was once hanged there for kill ing an infant, and about 90 similar cases are recorded in France alone by different writers. Thus in 1886 the magis- trates of Faiaise condemned pig to have its shout and one leg cut of and then to be hanged for Having killed an infant and eaten part of it's face and arm. The pig was executed in the market place dressed in human apparel, and the executioner re- ceiyed ten deniers and a new glove as his fee. s
 The following is the statement of ex- penses sent to the bailiff of Nantes in March, 1409, for the execution of a SOW which had killed baby:
 For her expenses while in jail sols, Parisian Item, to the hangnaan who
 came from Paris to make
 said execution. ........ ..... .24 sols Item, for the cart which took
 her to the gallows. 6 sols Item, for cords to tie and drag
 her .........................2 sols deniers Item, TOT gioves .,...........-. den1ers
 In all these cases the animal was duly arrested, imprisoned, tried and condemned with every legal formality.-Cornbill Magazine.

IU F TOPICS

Ed Geers bears the distinction of be- ing the best trainer the south ever knew. What. he don't know about a horse is hardly worth the knowing. A very neatly turned compliment is paid him by the Kentucky Stock Farmer as follows:
 What Geers says in regard to the rela- tiva merits of pacers must be accepted as a good opinion. and it will be well to pay a little attention to what he has to say about Bumps. After the Baron Wiltes pacer had won his fast race last Thursday, in which he took mark of 2;06R, Geerss said: That horse, as good as he is today can beat any pacer in the world except Star Pointer
 This was said however, a week ago and before the race of Friday at Co- lumbus, Ohio,s and now, Instead of re- ferring to Star Pointer in this way he will have to speak of the now famous son of Patchen Wilkes, Joe Patchen. Just think of three heats with such time as 204. 2;01h and 2:08. The second heat was the fastest paced mile ever record ed on the grdnd circuit and that too, in the facs of a strenge breeze blowing across theotraak.- Had. it not been for that breeze the judges declare there would now be another worlds record
 An innovation in fancy features at rac:, tracks is the appearance of horses who go around the track without sulky, or driver and make fast. time. One of the latest to go in training for this feat is May Bell, a 5-year old by Phallomont, first dam by Hickory, 2:17%, a grandson of Volunteer, S cond dam by Hambrno Star, 2:28ts;;A tfiirH dam Morgan Messen- ger. It is claimed that she could have gone in 2:22 when a 2-year old though her owner would never consent for her to be lst out at thar age. In trial the other day on her owners track she went without driver or sulky in 2:30 without a skip or break, this being her first ef- fort.
 It is recorded that there is not 2:10 stallion on the Pacific coast. The near est approach to this record is Mckinney and Stam B., 2:11A What a glorious op- portunity for the owner of 2:10 horse in the land of fruit and gold.
 Searchlight is one of the coming horses of the turf. His owner would not listen to $15.000 for him, this amount being shook under his nose a few days ago.
 Will OwingS has a 2-year old pacing lilly in his stable at Danville that is a good on=. She is the property of MT. B. G. Fox and has been half in 106%, quarter in 31A, and the last eighth in 14A seconds. If she goes to the races she will be hard one to beat.
 During the Detroit Grand Circuit meet ing over $325,OOO went through the pool box alone, beside the goodly sum that went into the mutual machine. There was no book betting, and Detroit has demonstrated that meetings can be held without books and betting on heats.
 If you want your horse to love you, says well known horse owner feed him sugar. Some of the young men of the present day say sugar is a good thing in more ways than one.

Bowser is Washington dog.
 Bowser saw a rat ff front of Capital City hotel the ether day. He went after the rodent, and both pursued and pursuer suddenly disappeared.
 The rat had taken to sewer opening under tho curbstons. The deg had fol- lowed.
 The plunge involved descent of about 40 feet into tho sewers main line, and an ordinary dog would have found the fall fatal. Not this one.
 Bowser's master and others located the dog under Q manhole. A tip can was low cred on hook aud rope. Bowser climbed into the can and was falled out. He had the rat in his mouth, and, dropping it at his masters feet, he went to look for an- other. Philadelphia Record.
