The Day Off.

If you work from noon till midnight, ali the
time upon the go
Dragging news from men and women who
pretend they do not know;
If you write long lines of copy till your dt.s-
ty brain wheels creak,
Then you think you are entitled to one spree
week.
Most people rest on Sunday, but that's not
the case with you;
There is one day off in seven, for, of course,
that is your due,
But you get it on worlday, and to drown
your growing pique,
You get off for consolation on one spree
week.
You might call upon your sweetheart ard
escort her to a show,
You might stay at home to gossip with the
folks you hardly know,
You nnighE find some occupation quite res
pectable and meek,
But the chances are you whoop 'er up for one
spree a week
Now, all you cub reporters, when you feel
you're getting gay,
When you are free from all assignments and
are loaded down with pay,
Knock the chip from off your shoulder, take
your tongue from ont your cheek,
Take your hat from off three hairs and don't
have one spree week.

What are We Coming To.

The horseless carriage, we are told,
Is now the pressing need,
And still 1t seems some other things
Would better take the lead.
The drinkless drink, for instance,
Which ought to serve as one,
And as fit companion
Is named the shotless gun;
And there's the dogless sausages
Which must be coming near,
While loudly chalk and water
Say cowless milk is here.
The kissless mouths another,
To keep away the men
And, furthermore, to conquer
The microbe in his den.
The musicless piano
Is we'll up toward the van,
And likewise might be mentioned
The lieless fisherman.
The summer-girlless summer
Bit no-well have to call
A halt right here, for this one
We do not need at all.

Senator Teller and Republicanism

Senator Teller's speech in the senate
on the Sd instant against the tariff
bill was one of the most rabid heard
this session. He absolutely and finally
repudiated the republican party. So
severely did he score the Republicans
that some OF his former associates left
the chamber.
Teller said the election had been won
by resort to terrorism, by falsehood
and slander and by corruption. 1t
would be worth while to know, he said,
how much the sugar trust had given to
the republican organization in 1896;
how much the Standard Oil Company
had given, and how much the great
manufacturing concerns had contrib
uted. They should BE able to measure
the Justice or injustice in the tariff bill.
He supposed that the finance COM
mittee knew what measure Of reward
they had to meet.
MIR. Teller said that Il the tariff bill
we're bill for revenue it would be q
failure. It would not produce revenue
enough. If it were bill for protec-
tion. it would be also failure. 1t
would protect 'com bines," but it would
do little toward protecting American
labor.
Senator Teller expressed approval OF
the Behring sea letter, but he returned
to the attack of the republicans by
saving that the republican party had
spent more money in the last campaign
than in all its previous campaigns put
together.
Mr.. Teller referred to the compulsory
retirement of President Andrews OF
Brown university on account of his
free silver opinions. He spoke of it as
the most painful exhibition of selfish
ness and debasement that the'world
had ever seen and as the most lnfa'
nous chapter in American history that
had been written in hundred years
Tt showed that the great party of the
country had put itself in line to de-
stroy freedom of thought and action.
In conclusion he declared, amid aP-
plause from the galleries, chat he had
no part in the Republican party and
did not desire to have.

On the morning of the 2Sth, at Was
son ranch near Bisbee, a Mexican named
Miguel Contreras, employed on the
place, took advantage of the absence
of all the men and pillaged the prem
ises Of everything of value. He cleared
the field by enticing the eleven year
old son of the family to place remote
from the house, choking and crushing
his head with blows with rock. On
his return he slipped up behind Mrs.
Wasson and clutched her by the throat.
She managed TO break away and Sc
cure gun, but the villain knocked the
weapon up and took it away from the
old lady, She then tainted, when the
fellow bound her hand and foot, and
rolled her into corner of the room.

and liberate his wife He Immediately

The Board of Supervisors issued sub
ponies for the different cattle inspec-
tors this week, with orders to appear
before the Board and produce their in
spection books of cattle shipped. The
Board had good reason to believe that
some of the stock men Of this county
had sold and shipped out more cattle
this summer than they had returned
to the assessor. IF this is proven to
be the case, some interesting develop

dition that they will sell as low as any
other country. IF, therefore, by tariffs,
prices in debtor country are raised,
and to the extent they are raised, goods
will stay and gold will go. The attempt,
therefore, to raise prices in debtor
country, and at the same time main

Governor Pingreesof Michigan, y ired
his disapproval OF the tariff bill to
President Mckinley, Senator Burrows
and Congressman Corliss and Spauld-
ing, Of Michigan. The dispatch was as
follows: I regard the duty on lumber,
hides and sugar as unrepublican, un-
patriotic and unfair The lumber now
used goes largely into small homes and
farmhouses and to a class already over
taxed. The laborer wears twice as
many shoes as the millionaire and must
contribute twice as much for the tax
on hides. He must use as much sugar
and pay as much toward the duty on
sugar. It is grossly unfair to make the
poor pay as much per capita as the rich
toward the support of the government.
Property and not human stomachs
should be searched. Property is pro-
tected by our laws and should pay for
it's protection.
