Promises of prosperity have proved
such a boomerang to the Republicans
that now. on the eve of the adoption
of their great patent prosperity pro-
ducer. the Dingley tariff bill. the coun-
try hears very little of boasting as to
the splendid results which ars to fol-
low.
The Washington Star, a strong advo-
cate of the tariff. sings low and ten
derly modified rapture as follows:
"And now for the future. No man need
expect any wonder-working by the
bill. All Business distress will not dis
appear in the single night after the bill
is signed. Business has been very i'll.
and very i'll for long time. 1t cannot
be set vigorously on its feet again as
by magic. Ii must conform to the con
dition of human patient and be salts
fed to recover strength gradually"
In the expressive language of the
sporting gentlemen, our esteemed con
temporary may lie said to be hedging.

the tariff question to Justify any Intel

A Surnrised Preacher.

Wien clergyman in the course of
his sermon asks question, he doesn't
expect any one to answer it. Should
one of the congregation reply, the
preacher would be as much astonished
as was the minister of whom the New
York Tribune tells this anecdote:
At a watch night service at St
Paurs Church, BriXton, England the
vicar. the Rev. Carnegie Brown. was
preaching sermon on the Prodigal
Son in the course Of which he said:
Last year some people came to
watch-night service from a neighbor-
ing public house. and some of them
We're drunk. Is there any one here like
that tonight"
Yes" said respectable-looking
man seated in the aisle, I'm here, and
I'm drunk
The effect on the congregation was
electrical. The preacher was startled
for moment. but after saying. poor
fellow. poor fellow" proceeded with
his discourse.
Il tell you I'm drunk said the in
trudcr
Hold your tongue said the vicar.
II am speaking now, and must not be
interrupted

The main doors which furnish en-
trance to the great box are the points
on which the utmost mechanical skill
is lavished, says Scribner's.
No burglar would ever think of try
ing to effect an entrance through the
walls. If he disposed of the watchman
who tramps around the outside in a
little alley between the outer walls of
the building and the vault, it would
require days to drill sufficient holes to
take solid piece out of the wall. But
If a burglar can only overcome the lock
OF one of the main doors there is the
entrance ready-made. These doors are
teen tons. They are constructed by
welding together layers Of different
hard metals, sometimes seven distinct
kinds, so that if an ingenious burglar
finds a way of piercing the first an en-
tirely different problem confronts him
at the seconr, and so on.
At any moment his drill is likely t6
make connections with an electric
alarm, which not only raises the guards
of the vault, but tells the watchmen of
half dozen others, some mile away,
that trouble is at hand. But even if
the lock were overcome the monster
doors would not open, because large
section of the stone floor has to be sunk
down by an electrical device before the
bottom of the doors are above the ma
sonry. Just above each main door ap-
pears an ominous-looking pipe; it can,
in the event of burglarious efforts,
belch forth boiling water and steam on
the assailants below.

The simple artlesSneSs of the Irish
bull appears in these anecdotes, which
Cardinal Manning used to tell: An
Irish waiter, on being asked at what
o'clock the first train left in the morn
ing, answered, "You see, sir, the {
o'clock train now goes at S o'clock, so
there isn't no first train at all, at ALL"
Il got up at ~ said another Irish
man, land thought it was s, but on
looking at my watch, l found it was

An Irish valet, seeing his master fill
the waste-paper basket with torr-ur
letters, exclaimed ruefully, "Oh. why
did you go for to tear them up? They
might have come in SO useful for mn,
who am always so bothered when 1
have to write a letter"
That valet must have been nearly re-
lated to the Irishman who, having only
one match to light his candle in tie
morning, struck it overnight to make
sure it was a good one.
Though he told these stories. the car
dinal loved the Irish, and was always
finding excuses even for their deiects
One day lady, annoyed by false
hood of an Irish servant, said. in the
cardinals presence, "All the Irish tell

tive people, and this often leads to {;

words and their meaning"

One on Gov. Atkinson.

One of the best stories yet heard on
Gov. Atkinson was told by himself to
a party of admirers who were chatting
with him in the parlor of the hotel at
Cochran on his return from his recent
visit to the ChautauQua at Hawkins
willie. The story is such good one
that it is worth repeating.
'It was during my recent inspection
of the convict camps" said the Govern
or. "Among other places l visited We're
the coal mines, and in order to make
a thorough inspection it was necessary
to go down into the mines and see the
convicts at work. Two guards accom-
panied me down into the mines. They
showed me everything Of interest, and
finally took me to where the convicts
lwere at work. AS we approached them
one of the convicts rushed over to me,
crying: Good Lord, Bill Atkinson as
sure as live! 1 never expected to see
you here. What on earth, Bill, did they
convict you of doing? l readily recog-
nized the man as one whom l had
known since my boyhood. jackson

defense did his best to intimfdate the
attorney for the prosecution. and the
prosecuting attorney retaliated with all
his might Finally matters got to such
pitch that the attorney for the prose-
cution turned upon his opponent and
called him down in open court. Judge
Murphy interrupted, saying:
Gentlemen, gentlemen, this won't
do. This sort of thing is very disre-
spectful to the Court. This is no place
for such exhibitions. If you gentlemen
hare any differences to settle, settle
them out of court"
The attorney for the defense imme-
diately rose and said: 1--WE have no

grossest contempt of court. How dare
you come here and attempt to terrify
counsel? l fine you $50, sir
The attorney replied: This is rather
bard on me. if your Honor please. Your

the profit derived by the State from
that source during fourteen years is

Value of the sunflower Plant

The value of the sunflower as field
crop is unknown in this country, and
yet there are few plants which, in pro-
portion to the attention required, make
larger returns. Almost every portion is
useful. The seeds are valued as a
food for cattle and poultry, and from
them may be obtained an oil not in
ferior to that of olive. They have also
their uses in medicine, making sooth-
ing emulsions like flaXseed. In Russia
they are eaten like nuts, and in many
parts of South America are ground to
meal, of which bread is made-St

A Rule or Ruin Policy.

This country was plunged into a
financial panic in 1888 by conspiracy
of gold mOnometalliStS-a conspiracy
which forced a general withdrawal of
credits and exacted an immediate set
tlement of accounts.
What was the object of this out
rageous and extraordinary attack on
the business interests of the United
States? 1t was to create Il stringency
in the markets, decline of business
and decadpnce of industry, which
facts should be used as arguments
against the purchase by the govern
ment of silver bullion under the false
assumption that these evils were the
result of such purchase.
For fourteen years the advocates of
single gold standard had striven TO
destroy Il system which had given a
good degree of prosperity to the peo-
pie. All their efforts having proved of
no avail, the conspiracy of gold was
formed and the plot of ruin planned.
The Withdrawal of credits brought
the panic, and many a banker was
crushed in the ruin he had helped to
cause. but the heartless conspirators
cared not for that Cleveland called a
special session of Congress in the
month of August, and by threats, ca
jolery and the magic Of money, the re-
peal of the Sherman purchasing act
was brought about.
These facts have passed into history
Why recall them now? Because his
tory repeats. itself; because the gold
conspirators are plotting repetition
of the disastrous "object lesson of '93;
because wisdom to meet the future is
gained by studying the experiences of
the past.
The sentiment in favor of silver is
stronger to-day than it was in '93. The
enemies of silver recognize this fact:
hence the delay in putting their propo-
sition to force this country upon gold
basis to a vote They know that days
of deepening business depression lie
between now and next December.
when Congress meets again, and they
are preparing to urge upon the people
the acceptance of monOmetallic gold
currency as the remedy. Will their
plot succeed?

A Miners Luck.

Montana's Erickson is miner living
near Hassel, the mining camp located
in the vicinity of Diamond Hill mine.
Last Friday, while passing through a
dry gulch that branches from the
main or st. Louis gulch, he found a
nugget of gold that, as nuggets go,
was regular Jumbo. His foot struck
a yellowish object lying on the dry
sand bar 1t emitted dull sound, diff
ferent from that made when ones toes
collide with a small rock. The nugget
was weighed and the estimated value
was SAP.
