SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.


Views Of Our Contemporaries on Matters Of
General Interest
Banker and Tradesman: With the tariff
bill out of the way there ought to be
nothing further to prevent the return OF
general prosperity. With the details OF
| the bill in doubt, business men could
hardly AFFORD to venture much, but with
its provisions certainty, plans can be
made with a substantial foundation on
which to build. The Dingley bill is much
stronger protection measure than has ever
before been on the statute books, and II
the system of protection has as much
merit in it as its friends claim, the Ding
ley bill should accomplish wonders. Free
traders, as well as protectionists, ought to
be satisfied. II protection is good thing
we want to know 1t, and II 1t is.not we
want to know that as well. In either case
we are likely to find out whether 1t will
accomplish all that its advocates claim.

Boston Herald: The Presidents private
secretary is reported as observing that he
experiences no little difficulty in persuade
ing President Mckinley to refrain from
speechmaking, and getting the rest he
needs. The young man would do well to

vate secretary Of the archbishop of 0rana-

New York Evening Sun: And English
men wonder Why Ireland Is not loyal and
demonstrative, why sGod Save the Queen"
and the sight of the Union Jack don't
excite the Celt to wild enthusiasm! The
royal family have neglected that country
for years. The Sovereign has visited there
once In her long reign. And, be 1t re-
marked here, than whenever there has
been such . visit Irish hospitality has
shown itself in spite of everything. Yet
now we have the London Tory papers

"Goodby, Ed I'm going to make break
for Gods land"
AS this was the first intimation Capt.
Mas had had Of his friends purpose, he
was to much astounded to make a reply.
The next instant Kupp had caught step
and fallen in behind the guard.
He kept safely to the rear until the SER
geant of the guard had reported to the
officer in charge. When the guard had
passed the sentinel at the door, Kupp
walked over and saluted Turner, who by
tlhs time was seated at his desk inside of
a railing. Hearing the shutting of feet
on the floor, Turner looked up and de-
manded:
"Who the devil are your"
I'm from North Calmly" responded
Kupp.
How did you get in here?"
"Follered the CAD, an I've been a wait
in to talk wild yo'. Amt yo' Mistah Tur-
nah?"
That's my name. Now, what do you
want?" asked Turner, as he arose angrily
from the desk.
i've been in hospital, jest got out yes
day. an thought foah 1 left fo' the front
I'd like to see the yankee primers" said
Kupp.
60 to the front, confound you, and
you'll see more yankees than you'll iikew
shouted Turner.
Then thar amt no show 70 me to see
any of them yanks l helped gobble at Get
tysburg OF Chickmaugy?"
mo; get out!" and Turner pointed to
the door where an armed guard stood lis
tening and laughing.
WAL, | didn't know you uns was so
cussed particular" drawled Kupp, as.
obeylng the direction indicated by Tur-
ner's extended hand, he made for the door,
Kupp saluted the guard, who exchanged
winks with him as he passed out to free
dom.
Once beyond the guard, man of ordi-
nary nerve would have started off with all
speed, nor halted until Libby was far be-
hind and even the steeples of Richmond
out Of sight; but Kupp was not an ordi-
nary man. Standing before the entrance
to the prison, the lieutenant shouted in to
Turner:
Say. mistah. hev We any objection to a
feller's standin' acrost the street an kind
er peekin' up at the buildin'?"
or course, Turner made no response, but
the guard continued down his post and
laughed, as " he thought the tall man in
butternuts a very funny fellow.
Meantime the news OF Kupp's escape
had spread among his late associates The
excitement was all the greater from the
fact that It had to be suppressed. Instead
Of glass there were iron bars In the front
windows Prisoners were not permitted
to come within two feet Of these bars
OF course. all knew the order, and that
Capt. Forsyth Of the Tooth Ohio had been
killed a few days before for unintention-
ally violating II, yet the men forgot all
about this in their anxiety to see Kupp
leave.
The lieutenant had evidently made up
his mind to crafty his comrades behind
the bars. Across Carey street from the
prison there was a vacant lot. Kupp walk
ed TO the edge OF the lot, sat down on
log. and, taking out his broken jackknife,
began TO whittle and TO signal the men IN
his old room TO come out and join him.
The situation was intensely humorous,
