the proposition or fight another

have the presidency in 1900, and
the democracy can have it by
obeying instructions from New

THE German emperor is playing
with fire. He is preparing tho
way for q revolution. which, if it
comes, may sweep him and his
throne and dynasty away. He
learns nothing by the teaching of
history. but self-willed and mis-
guided he thinks that he can drive
everything before him and force
the German empire to bow to his
imperious will.
Tho Reichstag has refused to
make appropriations for the con-
struction Of certain cruisers. The
emperor has ordered the govern
ment ship yards to proceed with
their construction, Notwithstanding
there il no appropriation for that
purpose. It remains to be seen
whether he will persist in building
these ships and what, if he does

do The Reichstag may submit
on the idea that since the ships
will be available for public service
it will be better to vote money to
pay for their construction than to
come to an open breach with the
emperor.-Denver Republican.

The New York World, which
claims to have furnished McKin-
ley 100000 democratic votes, in
speaking Of the new tariff bill, says:
'Right or wrong, wise or un-
wise, helpful or destructive of
prosperity, this bill is TO be passed
in the interest of tho trusts that
have dictated its terms. Chief
among these is the sugar trust,
aud it is to be benefited in de-
gree even greater than that PROM
ised.
"The sugar trust has already
imported enough raw sugar to last
it for six months or more. II will
have the Louisiana product to keep
it running for two months longer.
In other words. for eight months
or moro to come it will pay no adj
ditional penny OF revenue to the
government, while it will levy
upon the people for its benefit q
tax Of nearly 2 cents a pound upon
all the sugar consumed in the
country!
lis not this an outrage? Is it
not an infamy? Is it not an abuse
OF Legislative power? Is this the
way to bring about prosperity?
Are tho people to be made happy
by being compelled to pay needless
millions to this greedy conspiracy
Of capitalists? Is the whole tariff
bill fraudulent conspiracy Of ln-
tcrests' to levy what tax they please

Tho report has been current here for a

tribe rose at this. as adultery and theft are
capital crimes. The missing lovers were
sought after and captured two weeks later.

nights, We're doomed to a horrible death,

alligators For an entire day they were
left there in the hot sun, exposed 10 insects,
etc, and it was not till near shutdown that
the alligators came out. The alligators
crawled out, some ten OF them, and all
made for the bowling dog. He was seized
and torn TO pieces in moment. The
saurans then turned their attention to
the two prisoners tied before them, but
fearing it was trap they would not VEN
ture near them for some time. Finally an
old bull alligator crawled up and made
II dash at the Indian. His roars brought
the others. and Il rush was made. Two of
the alligators attacked the woman, and in
a few moments she was surrounded with
roaring mass of saurians. one seized her
leg, another her arm. and amid her pierre
ing screams and cries she was literally
pulled apart. Her husband, seeing her
agony, drew his rifle and shot her, putting
an end to her agony.
Tho brave had witnessed her death
struggles and he endeavored to free HIM
SELF but in vain. The saurians surrounded
him and boldly dashed up. Several seized
him by his legs, others crawled over the
backs of their companions and snapped
at his chest tearing ont huge pieces of
flesh. The Indian fought them, shouting
his death songs, but his agonies We're
frightful to witness. The chiefs Of the tribe
and the avenglng husband stood by watch
