CRAZY LUNATICs.-The people

the building is a mere shell it yet
stands AS Il monument to the eff.

Alexander and his family had
been in the country all the week
picking cotton, and the building
being unoccupied for the ilne be-

be accounted for. The tenant lost

The fall of the great is mighty.
Hanna used to be the Warwick of the
administration; now he is the scape-
goat.-Chicago Journal.
The Mckinley bill was passed to
reduce revenue by SO increasing the
taxes as to prohibit import trade. The
existing deficit began with the McKin-
ley bill, and the Dingley bill as amend
cd by the senate is six per cent. worse.

1t Is significant that while the
wages of miners have gone steadily

While Secretary Gage still insists
that prosperity is advancing and the
parrot press over the country echoes
the cry, manufacturers are closing
down or reducing wages, and the num-
Der of unemployed increases. Secre-
tary Gage may be a great seer. but
he has evidently been using a magnify
ing glass.-Peoria journal.
senator Hanna has closed his
Pittsburgh mine because he does not
wish TO hurt the miners cause by
operating it," The manager says that
although the mine has been paying the
men more than its competitors it was
not the company's intention ito thwart
the miners" Hanna's mine recently
cut the wages of it's men from 60 to 81
cents. His solicitude for the men
comes trifie late.-Chicago Chronicle.
The whole tariff question has
now seemingly degenerated to high

GUS interests, each striving TO get a.

each seeking to shift the reasonable
