NANNY AND THE CUB.
zxkes and Dislfkes of Bear That Wa

Exkes and Dislfkes of q Bear That Was
Sucked By q Goat.
The bear that figures in the story is
known as Jack. and be belongs to
Lewis Ford, who formerly owned a goat
ranch high up on the CeEro Colorado
mountain, overlooking the lovely valley
sgef the San Joaquin.
Ford found the bear when it was
b cub soft, round, shining and black.
& Remg wiifeless, childless and alone, he
adopted the tiny cub and carried it
SIS home Once there, Ford soon found
that q foster mother must be provided

after much combined force and persua-
SION the goat could be induced to adopt
as her own the unkidike orphan placed
IN her care. But the time came when
5 foster mother and foster child were as
happy and content in their relations to
each other as If the sight Of a ninable

M When Jack grew older, be was trained
to herd goats. Previously a number OF

IMMIGRATION.

The President has already said that
he would veto tho proposed Immigra-
tion bill when IL came before him, and
We trust that his veto will not be over
ridden.
This idea OF building q Chinese wall
around the country is by no means q
new ono, but that does not make it un-
American to keep our doors open to
those of all nations who come to seek
O livelihood under onr laws and homo
under our republican institutions. 1t
has been the aim of certain peculiarly
constructed Glasses of our people who
have been here for possibly genera
ton or so to inveigle against the influx
of foreigners. But the idea has never
taken deep root. 1t is not natural that
it should become popular. This is q
new country yet. We have ample room
for the many millions-for all the mil
lions-who, under the direction OF
Providence, may come to our shores.
Nor is it at all necessary that they
should know how to read and write.
We have a right to expect aud to order
that all of those who are born here
shall take advantage of the means
which are placed at their disposal, and
therefore learn to read to write. But
we have no right to expect nor to de-
mand that those whose general moral
worth averages as good as our own, but
whose opportunities have not been like
those provided here, should be on
level with ourselves in education.
We shall not make allusion to Il Q
well worn arguments about educated
rascals and learned but unconvicted
criminals who may come unchallengt d
to the country, while poor man or
woman who has been deprived OF tie
advantages of an education must, per-
force, be shut ont. That argument
will occur to any neyphyte. What We
wish to express is simply the fact that
we have certain solid institutions upon
which our country is founded. That
the country is, like all other countries
in the world, open to every one who
prefers to come to us, and that our
laws are such that all men, educated or
otherwise, can obey them withouta
qualm of conscience, and that we in
tend to demand respect for these laws
from all who dwell with us. Such be-
ing the case, and. We can see no other
proper light in which to view the ques-
tion we cannot help praising the
President for the stand that ne he's
taken.

THE VOTING MACHINE ACT.

The McTammany act he's received it's
quietous in the Legislature until the
Providence City Council committee sees
fit to make some recommendation as to
what the City Hall shall do with
reference to adoption of voting ma
chimes. When that has been done, the
Assembly may take action looking to
the use OF the machine all through the
State, but until something further has
developed the City Council Of Provi-
dence does not need to have any fear
that it's rights will not be respected.
The House Judiciary Committee is
very careful to make it known that,
in laying aside the bill at this time, it
has not passed upon the merits of the
machine proposed, which is apparently
as naar perfection in q voting machine
as any that we have read about.
Some individuals have argued, with
heat and loquacity, that an ideal voting
machine can be constructed that will
beat the wits of the shrewdest political
bunco steerer who ever pu. his deft
hand 10 the unholy practice Of franchise
stealing. That the task OF defrauding
the spirit Of elections may be rendered
more difficult by improved machinery
we do not question; that human inge-
nuity can contrive machine that
human ingenuity and human depravity
cannot cheat, we deny. It is a simple
proposition that wheels and levers can
not take the place Of brains-thev can
but record the intent of the intellect,
and upon this depends the incontro-
vertible fact that no machine can ever
defeat dishonest voter II he sets him.
self about IL to cheat The polls.
This is merely simple, mathematical
statement of fact and is not intended
to show hostility to the voting machine
as method. The machine has many
points in itsfavor, among them rspidity
simplicity and chespness. 1t would be
wellif they we're in general use through
out the country, as doubtless they will
be some day, but it would be folly to
place implicit confidence in their infal-
libility. A sharp eye must ever be kept
upon the political monte man, for 30
long as humanity endures it will prob
ably be cursed with this species OF brig
and. He is one of the fruits OF freedom.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
Ofa Iowa Lady who Was Cured OF Dys-
psPsia 'After Suffering for twenty-five

OF q Iowa Lady who Was Cured OF Dys-
pePsis After Suffering for twenty-five
Years.
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable lady
residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co., Iowa,
was for twenty five years sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and her complete restoration to
health is SO remarkable that we present
the facts In the case for the benefit of our
readers, many of whom have doubtless
suffered in the same manner and will,
therefore, be interested In learningIhow all
stomach troubles may be avoided and
cured. Mrs. Sweets says: ~ used only one
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
received such great and unexpected bene-
fit that wish to express my sincere graft
tude. In fact II has been six months since
took the medicine and / have not had
one particle of distress or difficulty since.
And all this In the face of the fact that the
best doctors consulted told me my case
was incurable as had suffered for twenty
five years. want half dozen packages
to distribute among my friends here who
are very anxious to try this remedy.
Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH A. SREELS,"
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are so successful In curing Indigestion
anu stomach trOuDlc anu tne reason why
IL never disappoints those who need 1t and
use IL Is because nothing Is claimed for 1t
except what it will actually perform. 1t is
not a all and no such claims are made
for 1t. 1t Is prepared for the sole purpose
of curing dyspepsia and the various forms
of indigestion.
There is scarcely patent medicine made
but what Is claimed to cure Dyspepsia as
well as a hundred other troubles. When
as matter of fact a remedy to cure Dys-
pepsia must be prepared especially for that
and nothing else; and among all the rem
edies, patent nostrums, bitters, etc., so ex
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the only one
advertised as cure for Dyspepsia and
nothing else. The remedy is prepared by
the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich, and
for sale by oil druggists at 80 cents per
package, and IL you suffer from any form
OF stomach arrangement or indigestion
trial will not disappoint you.

cent Inaugural Wrap.
There is at present being made in
New York for Mrs. William Mckinley
q fur trimmed wrap that is intended
for an Inauguration present to her from
her husband. The tasteful garment now
being made is a creation Of Mrs. Nc
Kinley herself, while modelled on the
general plan Of one she admired. She
has selected for the material Of the
wrap q rich but quiet lavender brocade
silk. The figuring Of the brocade, while
Of the Persian order, is Of large and
intricate design. The cloak will be
lined throughout with q mellow cream
brocade silk Of much the same pattern
as the lavender. The wrap is wadded
throughout with the neeciest Of wad-
ding, making il, while Of light weight,
q sure protection against drafts in re-
ception halls and while passing to and
from the carriage.
The trimming Of the cape is the
finest Of the natural white furs. A wide
band Of the purest white Alaska fox fur
covers the outer edge Of the entire
wrap. The high collar is Of this fur,
which, after extending down the front
Of the wrap, runs around the lower
edge Of both back and front. At least q
dozen Of these costly skins will be re
quired for the trimming. It's length is
such that it covers the entire gown
without dragging on the floor. A fur
rier, to whom the cloak was described,
stated that he would not undertake to
duplicate it for less than $s00.-Cincin-

THAT CENSUS APPROPRIATION.

In the upper branch of the legisla-
ture yesterday the finance committee
reported on the resolution asking for
m appropriation Of 10000 for the com-
plction OF the census OF the State. The
committee recommended the passage
OF the resolution in concurrence, with
IN amendment, which came in the ma.
sure OF set back, for instead OF an ap-
preparation OF $4,000 the committee
recommended $500; ais, that the Gov
ernor should sign all vouchers instead
OF Commissioner Tiepke, all OF which
goes to show that Mr.. Tiepke is out of
favor with the party at present.
The Legislators, it is more than like
1y, are responsive to the notion that
shore is altogether too much humbug
associated with the ,flice presided over
by Mr.. Tiepke. 1he methods OF the
department have not always been above
suspicion. and this sentiment was re.
Aectcd in most emphatic manner yes
ferday when the matter came up for
action in the House. One thing is very
certain. the members Of the Legislature
are rot convinced that the census
bureau. as IL has been conduced for the
past few years, is altogether the great
and glorious factor that il is cracked

Istors are Influenced by the same feel
