Morgan promptly came in and
Though the order of business had
passed, he was allowed to vote on.
The motion to reconsider and lay on
the table having been lost Morgan
moved to reconsider. Had this been
done, he would have voted for the bill
and passed it,
Lieut.. Gov. Hindman ruled his mo-
tion out of order on the ground that
he had not voted on the bill. Grill
arose and wrathfully abused Lieut..
Gov. Hindman for refusing to enter
tain the appeal. Then pandemonium
broke loose. Grill rushed up the aisles
shaking his fist at the president and
hoarsely demanding that the appeal be
put. Hindman Indignantly stated that
all parliamentary practice ruled that
reconsideration should only come from
one who had voted on the prevailing
side. BY this time Grill was shouting
with rage and half dozen other Pop
ulIsts were on their feet wildly gestic-
ulating, while Republicans were shout
ing for the regular order. Violent
threats were freely thrown about, and
the din was so loud that hearing was
difficult. The chair pounded the table
and ordered the sergeant-at-arms to
put members in their seats, but the
latter refused. Nearly every senator
was on his feet bowling, and Populists
and Republicans were shouting across
the chamber at one another. Occa-
sionally order would be restored for
the minute and some Republican
would attempt to straighten the diff
Guilty by showing that the Populists
had lost the day of grace, but imme-
diately bedlam would break out again.
Hindman remained firm, backed by
solid Republican forces. The Populists
threatened to unseat him and Morgan
did make a motion to that effect, but
it was lost.
Dowdell and other Populist lobbyists
rushed in and commanded the secre-
tary and other employees of the senate
not to obey the lieutenant governor,
which action was loudly but ineffectu-
ally denounced by the Republicans.
The governor and all his men tried to
take hand in the scrap, but could do
nothing. Palmer withdrew from the
senate and refused to help the Pops.
Finally Hindman called Wyman to the
chair, and after two hours and half,
finding that they could not bulldose
the chair into overriding the rules of
the senate and parliamentary law,
Grill subsidized and business of the sem
ate went on.
Throughout the whole time there
was the widest shouting, the air was
full OF the most angry threats and Vi
tuperation. Free riot seemed immi-
nent at every minute. The Populists
were fairly caught and died hard.

Another False Theory Exploded.

In the course Of it's remarks the St.
John, (Kan.), hazarded the remark
that it takes money to run a news
paper, which provoked the following
from the Emporio, Kan Gazette:
what an exaggeration; what a
whopper! 1t has been disproved a
thousand times; it is clear case of
airy fancy. 1t doesn't take money to
run newspaper. 1t can be run with
out money. 1t is not a business ven
ture. 1t is charitable institution,
a begging concern, highway robbery

ut takes wind to run newspaper.
1t takes scintillating, acrobatic i'm
agination, half dozen white shirts
and railroad pass to run newspaper.
But money-heavens to Betsy and six
hands round, who ever needed money
In conducting newspaper! Kind
words are the medium OF exchange
that do the business for the editor
kind words and church and social
tickets. When you see the editor with
money watch him! He'll be paying
his bills and disgracing his profession.
Never give money to an editor. Make
him trade it out; he likes to swap.
Then when you die, after having stood
around for years and sneered at the
editor, be sure and have your wife
send in for three extra copies by one
of your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous touching notice
about you forwarn her to forget tc
send the fifteen cents. 1t would over.
whelm him. Money is corrupting
thing. The editor knows it and what
he wants Is your heartfelt thanks.
Then he can thank the printers and
they can thank the grocers.
"Take job work to the job office and
then come and ask half rates for
church notices. Get your lodge letter
heads and stationery printed else
where and then flood the editor with
beautiful thoughts in resolutions of
respect and cards of thanks. They
make such spicy reading and when
you pick it up, filled with these glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are so proud of your little local paper.
'BGt money-scorn the filthy thing.
Don't let the pure innocent editor
know anything about that. Keep it
for the sordid trades people who charge
for their wares. The editor gives his
bounty away. The Lord loveth a
cheerful giver. He'll take care of the
editor. Don't worry about him. He
has a charter from the state to act as
a door mat for the community. He
will get out the paper somehow, stand
up for the town, whoop it up for you
when you run for Office and lie about
your pigeon-tocd daughters wedding
and blow about your big-footed sons
when they get "a week job, and
weep over your shrlveled soul when it
is released from your grasping body,
and smile at your giddy wife's second
marriage. Don't worry about the
editor; he'll get on. The Lord knows
how-but somehow"

Referring to this report New York
exchange says: 1.-THE Southern Rail-
way report for the fiscal year just
ended was satisfaction to that part
of Wall street which has been predict

They are pointing out that the road
has surpls applicable to dividends of
more than $1,10O,0O0, or over per

gives grounds for the belief that South

Not Tall Enough.

Just at the time when vague reports

Berlin, and among other spectacles got

What does your excellency think OF
our soldiers 2" asked Prince Bismarck,
as one of the regiments came marching
past in admirable order.
'They look as if they knew how to
fight" replied the visitor, gravely,
''but they are not quite tall enough"
The Prince looked rather surprised,
but made no answer. and several other
regiments fled past in succession; but
the Dutchman's verdict upon each was
still the same: mot tall enough" .s
At length the grenadiers of the guard
made their appearances magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough, to have satisfied even the
giant-ioving father of Frederick the
Great; but the inexorable critic mere
ly said, "Fine soldiers, but not tall
enough"
Then Prince Bismarck rejoined,
These grenadiers are the finest men
in our whole army; may ] ask what
your excellency is pleased to mean by
saying that they are not tall enough ?"
The Dutchman looked him full in

uncertain elements. No track, no course,
no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may
not bring destruction.
So with the sick man. His disordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain. No organ can be depended on
to do its normal work. The stomach will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bill
ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste No
regular nourishing or purifying process is
going on. There Is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering.
In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated con-
ditions, what is needed is to change the abb
normal, erratic operations of the system
into a natural, regular, straightforward pro-
gress in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t directly regulates the vitalizing func-
tions. 1t sets the stomach and liver into
natural, healthy operation and gives the
blood-making glands power to manufacture
an abundance of pure, rich blood.
1t creates appetite; builds up muscular
strength, and banishes nervousness and
neuralgia. As it can be assimilated by the
weakest stomach, its nourishing properties
are far superior to nauseating cod liver oil
in severe coughs and all wasting diseases.
The druggist who recommends something
else as just as good [" is thinking more of
his extra profit on the "just as good" kind
than of your welfare.
