Rishon Potter,s Anecdotes.

LOndOn CdDleBTdH
Bishop Potter may be said to have made
the popular hit OF the evening with two
pious anecdotes. The first anecdote of the
bishop related to a certain Mrs. Riddles,
who, he said, came from Buffalo. and who
was shown the Apollo Belvedere in for
eign gallery. According TO DR.. Potter, when
the Apollo was pointed out by the guide,
Mrs. Riddles surveyed the statue critical
ly, and then observed: We'll. if that is the
Apollo Belvedere give me Riddles" This
tale bore subtly upon some International
question: but its import was lost in the en-
suing merriment.
The second anecdote relates more directly
to the toast OF Our ambassador concern
ing, as ii did, the ex-Minister to Turkey
Terrell. The bishop said one morning the
Sultan sent for Minister Terrell. and said
to him: Mr.. Minister, ! am informed that
one Of your American newspapers has spok-
en- very disrespectfuily of me" To which
Minister Terrell responded: Your Majesty
there are $1,000 newspapers in the United
States that give you hell every morning
Ii should be borne in mind. TO get the full
effect of this story, that the bishop pro-
nounced the word hell in full without q
dash between and /.

The Louisville CourierJournal which
ought to be authority on the subject thinks
the claims in regard to the amount of rev.
enue lost by the Illicit distilling Of whisky
are, for the most part, greatly exaggerated.
Nor does it think a reduction of the tax
would make much difference, for, it says:
THE average moonshiner makes whisky
from false idea of his rights, and would
do it to avoid a tax of 70 cents gallon as
readily as he would to save $1.10." So it
seems the moonshiners are distilling for a
great principle.

No part of the Mckinley law was so I'M
popular or was made so unpopular by the
Democratic press as the provision which
offered a bounty for the production Of
sugar. No doubt it gave the industry an
impetus which it now feels, but it was un-
popular all the same That is one of the
reasons which led Republican senators to
decline to incorporate sugar bounty fea-
ture in the pending bill. 1t might have
found a place in the Mckinley law, one Of
the purposes of which was to get rid of
the surplus which the then existing tariff
produced. Now the condition is the reverse;
one of the leading objects of the pending
bill is to obtain more revenue. To incorpo
rate a provision which would take sic 000, coo
or more from the treasury to pay sugar
bounties would be an Inconsistency.

A tariff act is no place for a measure
designed to curtail the power of trusts, and
wisely in defeating the several propositions
of that character which have been offered
and discussed. The last time the Republic
ans held both branches of Congress they
passed an antitrust law. 1t needs amend
ments to make it fully effective. If those
alleged reformers are in earnest, why have
they not offered amendments to the law
dealing wholly with organizations which
are guilty of obstructing industry and
trade?

A press dispatch from Washington states

Boring sea affair no one gave * the least

DR. John Hall said In his Fourth OF July
sermon that the word United States first
appeared. not in the Declaration of indie
pendence adopted in 1716, but in docu-
ment drawn UP at a meeting of my cOun-
trymen. chiefly Presbyterians, a year be-

apparently TO those famous Mecklenburg

to state that so far as known, mortal

that the words United States do not oc-

1t should surprise no one that Senator
Allen, of Nebraska, is very much in earnest
to have a sugar bounty inserted in the
pending tariff bill. Nebraska has the larg
est sugar beet industry outside of Califor-
MIA. Mr.. Allen has an election pending and
he desires to make friends with the sugar
makers and farmers in his State. Four
years ago they appealed to him to save
the sugar bounty, as did other farmers to
save the wool industry. Then he could have
prevented the passage of the German act,
but he turned a deaf ear to those represent
ing the beet sugar interest and gave one of
the two votes which could have killed the
German bill in the Senate. Then he was
against bounties and tariffs. Like the other
now more famous Nebraskan, Mr.. Bryan,
Senator Allen was a free-trader. He hopes
by making display of energy in behalf of
a sugar bounty to win the support of the
beet sugar interest in Nebraska

the world. No one who has not seen them

of travellers across the Colorado desert

manzanita brush, and have, in conse-

tantalizing mirage, only to die horrible
death from thirst and hunger under
| fierce coppery sky.
| The history of Yuma abounds in stories
of people who have started out from there
in midsummer to go to gold mines across
the deserts, and have never been heard
from again. Sometimes the mirage on
