Senator Sherman has been noted
throughout his long public career fol-
a Discrimination to allow himself to be
placed in false position. He show
ed this when he stated in open SEN
ate that there was no truth in the
numerous rumors about his having
made an agreement with Secretary
Olney concerning the Cuban policy
to be maintained during the remain
der of this administration and that to
be adopted by President McKinley's
administration. He showed it again
by this fat-footed announcement con-
corning the stories of his having ac-
copied the Secretaryship of State as
part of bargain: "My acceptance
of the portfolio of Secretary of State
was without any reservations or con
ditions. There seems to be desire
that Mr.. Hanna should be selected
for my seat in the senate, and, while
I have no assurance on that point, l
believe that Gov. Bushnell will ap-
point him. The Ohio Republicans
in the House are unit in saying
that there is no truth in the printed
stories of disagreements among the
Republicans of that state over who
shall succeed Senator Sherman.

Herbert Seeley, one of the leaders
of New York's 400, has beensindicteo
by the grand jury, with Theo. Rick
and ]. II. Phipps, charged with con.
spring to procure indecent exposure
on the part of two 'faded flowers"
who figured at the dinner at Sherry's
given by Seeley. Their bail was fix
ed at $500 each. Such disgraceful
affair should not be dealt with len
iently, but with rigor and severity. II
Mr.. Seeley would be sentenced to
prison for a year or two, it would be
only just and deserved lesson
When human beings degrade them
selves to the level of brute then
they should be penned up with the
latter. Seeley's actions have set So
ciety gossipers talking, at present,
but as soon as it blows over Mr., See
lev will be once more installed in his
old standing as favorite among the
aristocrats of the 400. For shame.

The Minneapolis Journal polluted
itself last week to the extent of {
alfScolumn editorial in trying t.
show the defects of the Georgia anti
trust law, but which was only poor
pretence, and sounded more like
coming from "Baron" Rockefeller
than f. ON defender of the people,
It also claimed that most trusts were
q benefit to the country, and cited
the Standard Gil Co. and railroad
combinations as such. The "Big
Four" of the Standard Oil Co. made
millions in short time, and when
other companies try to sell oil they
run the price down till the new COM
pany goes into bankruptcy, then they
put the price up. Oil is selling here
at from II to 20 cents a gallon that
ought not to be over cents gallon.
In the face of these facts we fail to
see where the benefit to the country
is derived from. 1t is surprising that
the Journal did not mention the -four
trust as benefit. They are selling
-four at $40 hundred pounds that
ought to sell for $3.50 and give them
a good profit. There are several 9TH
er kinds Of trusts that are robbing
the people that we could name. and
the more they rob the people, ac-
cording to the Journal, the more ben
eft they are to the country. The
kind of benefit this country needs is
what benefits the people and. not a
few millionaires. The Georgia law
is strong enough to compel the to-
bacco trust to pull in its horns and
take it's chances honestly with any
one else. AS soon as the law was
passed they withdrew their BULLDOG
ing tactics on retail dealers; yet the
Journal has the bold front to declare
it is ineffective. How much stock in
the Millers' combination does the
Journal own, or how much stock in
the Journal is owned by Pillsbury or

that hereafter all saloons in the state
should hang out in front of their
doors red light, with the word
Dangerous" blown in the glass. The
senate was playing horse with the
Stearns county gentleman, and it
was worth big price of admission
to hear his speech on the bill. By
previous understanding, as many
senators voted FOR the bill as could
without passing it. Donnelly's roast
of the editor of the Pioneer Press in
the house the day before wasn't in it
with the debate on the Keller BILL
Minneapolis Journal.
i Senators are only human, and that
they should indulge in laughabIe
episode occasionally TO break the
monotonous dullness of business
cares is nothing more than should be
expected. The vote on the above
bill was all "cut and dried" and
made up that SO many would vote
for and against it, and the object
was to make the vote close in order
to draw out speech from Keller and
have a good laugh over it. If the
bill had been put through on SER
ious business route it would not have
received a half dozen votes in favor
of it.

Secretary Olney's pet. the interna-

that England will now be the one to

such treaty is that OlneY must be
either in the pay of Lord Salisbury
or natural born "doughhead." 1t
is more than likely the latter.

An, how laughed until cried
 Der Billy's sentimental screed; Tho well knew the loyal pride
 That lay behind its ill-spelled creed. Had he not battled for me well,
 When once a spiteful boy had said IHe missed and l the word did spelll
 My golden locks were fiery red?" And had he not-true-hearted boy Saved up his pence to buy treat And then with quaint, transparent Joy, Laid down the treasure at my feet? Iris true scorned his snubby" nose, His freckles and his warty hands: His odd. old-fashioned. homemade clothes His servile mien at my commands And with a girls strange wayward whim Behind my checkered pinafore. joined in making sport of him,
 Because myself he did adore. Poor Billyl years have come and gone Since last l gazed into your eyes, And saw, like some poor wounded fawn, Your look of anguish and surprise. And I have roamed mid scenes afar, Have quaffed life's cup unto the lees; And on my heart is many scar
 Of woundings made by hates decrees. And oft wonder, after all,
 If with that little plotted line That lies beneath times somber pail, did not lose My Valentine"
 Rosa Pearle. in Chicago Tribune.
The Forrest City times., 1897-02-12

In the hrst place, it's too dreadful to be true, and in the next place he would have told us" said Peggy.
 But it really proved to be true. Mr. F'geon's sister-bis own sisteri-bad gone to law to obtain Q share of her grandfather's estate, which he had failed 10 bequeaih to her because she had gone contrary to his wishes in some way, and the only share that she would have was that old estate on Pippin Hill. Perhaps the law might force her to take something else as her share, since he had held posses sion there so long; but she was Hittv. and he should give it up to her. That was what MT. Pigeon said in answer to the indignant remonstrances of the Bells. She was Hitty; that was all he would say; perhaps it wasn't much of reason, but the Bells understood. We all know what it is to give I'D things to people just because they are Iky or Polly or John.
 So it happened that the Bells dear MT. Pigeon went away to little house that he owned down at Pequanket Mills and Miss Mehitable Pigeon came to live at the old place on Pippin Hill and owned half of the high-top sweeting tree.
 And the very first thing she did it was September when she came-was t" threaten to have Tommy Bell ar rested, because when he shook their side of the tree her side shook too. and she said the top of the tree leaned to- ward their side and more apples fell there, so when the apples were picked and divided she must have an extra bushel. She threatened to have their yellow kitten drowned because he scampered after the flying leaves in her garden, and, she did have their cross gobbler killed because it ran after her red morning gown, as a gobbler will, you know, and gobbled at her. He wasn't much loss, and she sent him home plucked and dressed, with the message that she should have eaten him if she had not feared he would be tough.
 She complained that Beckys peacock squawked and Dicky's guinea pigs squeaked, and the vane on their stable had "a rusty squeak" that kept her awake nights; and if one of the little Bells mounted the fence she came out and "shooed" him off as if he were chicken.
 Christine, who was inclined to look on the bright side and to think we'll of every one, said that she would probably grow better when they got better acquainted, and she gave Tommy and little Rufus five cents each not to use their bean singers over the fence or make faces through the knothole.
The Forrest City times., 1897-02-12

But instead of growing better their new neighbor grew worse. She had the mutual fence built up ten feet high, she had the branches of the sweeting tree topped off where they interfered with the fence, and Christine's seat thrown down to the ground so roughly that it was broken. She said she had let peo- pie impose upon her all her life. and she wasn't going to any more.
 Papa Bell. who was an easy man and absorbed in his business, said he SUD- posed that so many children and squeak ing things did make them troublesome neighbors; but he thought they should have to remonstrate with Miss Pigeon about the fence, because it took away so much of their sunshine. Christine begged him to wait; she always would believe that people were going to be better, and she knew there must be something good about Miss Pigeon because she looked like her brother-"only the twist seemed to be in her mind, poor thing!"
 It was November when Christine's seat was thrown out of the tree. so she could not have used it any more that sea son any way; and when anyone asked her how she was going to do without it in the spring, she always answered: Per haps Miss Hitty will be good by that time" But that transformation didn't seem in the least likely to anyone else. She never forgot that MT. Pigeon had said she was Hitty, though how she could ever be Hitty to anybody was more than the other young Bells could under stand.
 Christine would bow to her, too, and smile. shyly, although Miss Pigeon only scowled dreadfully in response. Far more difficult to forgive than their own wrongs was the injury she had inflicted upon her brother. He wrote to them doleful letters which showed plainly how homesicb he was for the good air and the goodfellowship of Pippin Hill. One of the neighbors who saw him at Pequanket said one would hardly know him-he had ''pined away" so.
 After that little Rufus (honorably)
