the Democratic kite was quit,
enough for the average Populist. liz
wants no more Of it this year, and is
determined that he will not have it
The fact that the Democrats pro.
pose to grab all the fat offices in the
States where they are now urging
another "fusion" with the Populists
makes the members of the latter
party somewhat wary this time.
Railroad men, manufacturers, and
business men of all sections and
parties report marked improvement
in business and confidence, and pre-
dict that the renewal of activity is
permanent in its character.
The average Southern Democrat
who finds the new productions OF
his section well protected by the
new tariff measure, now looks with
entire complaisancy upon the fact
that one-half of the members OF
Congress from south of Mason and
Dixon's line voted for protection.
Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa has
refused longer to folln~ the free
coinage-of-silver proposition, and is
out in an urgent argument in favor
of paper currency based solely on
the market value of the silver bull
lion against which it would be
issued. Governor Boies' repudia-
ton of the Democratic doctrine
which proposes to base a currency
on legislative action which should
call 46 cents dollar is a severe blow
to the free coinagists.
Democratic support for the pro-
tective tariff is one Of the causes of
the improved conditions throughout
the country. Business men who are
constantly studying these conditions
are of the opinion that the tariff bill
which has just been framed will re-
main on the statute books for a long
time because of the growth Of the
protective sentiment among the
Democrats, and that with its perma-
nency there will be permanent
business prosperity.
Just one-twelfth of the Mckinley
administration has passed and in
that time Republicans have done
more in the way of carrying out the
pledges of the platform than was
ever accomplished in double that
time by any previous administra-
ton. When you consider that this
has been done with Senate in
which the Republicans are in a
minority you should celebrate the
close of the first four months instead
of grumbling because the full four
years undertaking has not been
completed.

Last Friday company Of young
ladies, bent on having rugged outing
in some unbroken wilderness, took
possession of their respective family
carriages and started for the country,
reTy early in the morning Having
| done the necessary shopping by candle
light, they emerged from the city
limits not later than nine o'clock,
and began to grope their way 'Lrther
and further from the protecting
centers OF civilization. Having gone,
as they supposed, far enough to be
| free from any intrusion by other white
people, they brought their caravan TO
a halt and cast about for some suit
able place to camp. Espying rustic
gateway, they paused only to read the
legend over its top, 'Pete's Pasture"
and entered. They found themselves
in considerable plain, we'll watered
by river, and with pleasant hill-sides
along which wild animals were graz
ing They pitched camp at once,
| hung up the hammock, and divided
hemselves, for better management,
into cowboys, camp guards and
| foragers. The cowboys with difficulty
kept the wild animals from attacking
the carriage horses: and the camp
guards only saved the hammocks by
continually keeping them well
ballasted. The foragers, however,
came back from the woods triumph
ant as the spies from the Promised
/ Land, bearing an lce-cfealn freezer,
pail Of new milk and several wood
ticks. After spending many hours in
these wild surroundings, the young
ladies returned TO the city under
cover of darkness land closed curtains
and took turns introducing one an
other to their respective parents.
