POLITICAL
MISCELLANY.

Last years experience as tail to
the Democratic kite was quite enough
for the average Populist. He wants
no more of it this year, and is deter
mined that he will not have it.
President Mckinley has reason to
congratulate himself and his party on
the fact that the tariff bill has been
passed more quickly after his inaugu-
ration than any tariff since the first
Congress.
The fact that the Democrats pro-
pose to grab all the fat offices in the
State where they are 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 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.
The demand for those beautiful
tables by which the silver orators
sought to prove last year that the
price Of wheat is dependent upon the
price Of silver has suddenly fallen off

er these nations would really carry
out their threats of retaliation against
our tariff has found out that the
fifteen nations in question enjoy in
their trade with the United States a
balance in their favor amounting to
$3.50, 900, 900 in the past decade, a
condition they are not likely to dis
turb by adverse legislation even IL
our new tariff is not framed especially
in their behalf
Mr. Bryan ought to stop ''invading
the enemy's country to make bar
gains for delegations in 1900 as the
price for his silence in local cam
paigns, and devote his attention to
muzzling his special organ, the
Omaha World-Herald. That paper
has at last yielded to the general con
viction that the prosperity at which
he continues to scof is really with
us, and Is publishing article after ar.

which it says is not only clearly APP
parent but likely to continue.
There is no step backward in bust
ness, although the season Of midsum-
ner quiet is near. Improvement
continues, gradual aud prudently
cautious as before, although in many
branches evident where no signs OF 1t
appeared few weeks ago. Business
men Of the highest standing in all
parts OF the country have gradually
perceived that the tide has begun to
rise and are regulating their contracts
aud investments and plans for the fu-
ture with confidence quite unknown
to them a short time ago. Great
changes before the adjournment OF
Congress are hardly to be expected,
but removal of uncertainty is with
reason expected to bring into opera
ton buying forces which have been
restricted for months. Meanwhile it
is encouraging that crop prospects
still grow brighter; that the indus
tries meet gradually increasing
demand for products; that labor ques-
tons which had a threatening aspect
have been adjusted, and that the
Treasury maintains its sample strength
notwithstanding some exports of
gold brought about by premiums paid
on behalf Of foreign governments. -

men perpetually tending to repair the
wounds and breaches that he himself
makes.--Mrs Humphrey Ward.
Doctrines which rest on the gospe

doctrines which have no support in
the gospels are less than reasonable
and are dying. Ian Maclaren
I am sorry for the preacher who

The Battle Flag Of Shenandoah.

The tented field wore a wrinkled frown
And the emptied church from the hill
looked down
On the emptied road and the emptied
town,
That summer Sunday morning.
And here was the blue and there was the
gray;
And a wide green valley rolled away
Between where the battling armies lay,
That sacred Sunday morning.
And Custer sat, with impatient will,
His restless steed, mid the troopers still
As he watched with glass from the oak
set hill,
That silent Sunday morning.
Then fast he began to chafe and fret;
There's battle flag on bayonet
Too close to my own true soldiers set
For peace this Sunday morningr'
ride over, some one" he haughtily said,
"And bring it to mel Why, in bars
blood red
And in stars will stain it, and overhead
Win fiaunt it this Sunday morningr'
Then West-born lad. pale faced and
slim,
Rode out, and touching his cap to him,
Swept down, as swift as the swallows
swim,
That anxious Sunday morning.
On, on through the Valley up. up, any
wherel
That pale-faced lad like bird through
the air
Kept on till he climbed to the banner
there
That bravest Sunday morning
And he caught up the flag, and around
his waist
He wound it tight, and he turned in haste
And swiftly his perilous route retraced
That daring Sunday morning.
All nonor and praise to the trusty Steed
Ali boy, and banner, and all God speed
Gods pity for you in your hour Of need
This deadly Sunday morning.
o, deadly shot! and o, shower of leadl
O, iron rain on the brave, bare head
Why, even the leaves from the tree fall
dead
This dreadful Sunday morningl
But he gains the oaksl Men cheer in
their might
Brave Custer is weeping in his delight
Why, he is embracing the boy outright
This glorious Sunday morniugl
But softl Not word has the pale boy
said,
He unwinds the flag. 1t is starred, strip
ed red
With his hearts best blood and he fails
down dead,
In Gods still Sunday morningl
So, wrap his flag to his soldiers breast,
Into stars and stripes 1t is stained and
blest;
And under the oaks let him rest and rest
Till Gods great Sunday morn ing.

Beyond His rIagic.

The Memphis Scimitar says with
bar silver quoted at 90 cents an
ounce, the bullion value of our silver
dollar is about 46H cents. This is
the lowest point the metal has ever
reached. If Brer Bryan should come
into power in 1901 he would have to
find some magic that would add more
than 100 per cent. to the value of the
unlimited and independent dollar, in
order to bring it up to par with gold.
Brer Bryan is beautiful talker and
very amiable gentleman, Except
when anti-Bryan Democrats are in
question but it is not likely that he
could evoke the lacking 531z cents
from the vastly deep Of nowhere.

And Made the Sinners Jump and Shout
Jesus

And Made the Sinners Jump and Shout
Jesus.
Rev. Sin Killer j. L. Griffin held forth
at Mount Zion Baptist church last
night and dived way down into the
bowels of hell-fire and damnation af-
ter old satan and his band Of sinners.
The tabernacle was crowded almost to
suffocation and among the audience
were a number of lily-white faces. The
parson talked low and calmly for
about twenty minutes, and particular
ly informed the nervous pale faces to
prepare themselves for the trouble
that was about to begin. He then rails
ed his voice, that would have drowned
the fog horn at the ball park, and be-
gan to lombard wickedness with his
grape shot of Ethiopian eloQuence
peculiar only to himself, and in less
than five minutes the fireworks and
religious enthusiasm began to boil
over. More than twenty convicted sis
tiers sprang to their feet and began to
shout glory, hallelujah, ETC., which re-
minded the old timers of the stories Of
the great revivals of John Wesley.
Some Of the white folks present be-
came little frightened over the ex-
citing scenes and one good old man
few for the door, but afterward came
back in a side door to the pulpit and
handed the sin killer silver dollar.
Sin Killer would make a hot rooter
for the Bronchos. In order that you
might know him the following descrip-
ton is given: He is full six feet high,
weighs about 240 pounds, is "A inches
across the shoulders, large mouth,
thick lips, voice like sacred bull,
hand No II and feet broad enough to
trample to death every hopper in an
ordinary Kansas potato patch. He is
a wonderful man. Go and hear him.
