THE CoLORED MANS ANSWER.
Always the Why When Republicans
Are in Power.


Des Moines has a business man who
is we'll to do, but who was nevertheless
carried away with the free silver move
ment last year. He was not making
money as fast as he thought he ought
to make it, and so he cast his lot with
the free silver men, thinking thereby
10 improve his condition. He talked a
great deal of hard times and he swore
a great deal at the gold standard. This
man has a colored man as the driver
of his carriage. The colored man heard
all about the iniquities of the gold
standard, but it did not divert his af-
fections from the republican party. The
republican party with protection and
the gold standard thrown in was good
enough for him. He reasoned and re-
allied that the republican party has
never led this country astray. He was
still willing to trust it with power.
Recently wheat went up and silver
went down. The farmers have been
making more money than they did be-
fore in many years, and the laboring
people of Des ALoines as well as of the
NCuhhs alC Ncll
The colored man thought the time had
come to remind his employer of these
improved conditions: "Now what have
you to say?" he asked; ''wheat's go
ing up. everything else is going up ex-
cept silver, which none of us have to
sell, and the laboring men are all en-
ployed." The free silverite was still
unwilling to yield. He explained that
our better times are not due to pro-
lection, nor to the gold standard, and
finally that our better times were large
ly imaginary.
"But wheat is higher" said the col
ored man.
"Why, of course it is; but that is not
due to the gold standard or to pro-
lection, nor to the republican party
"What is it due too"
'It is due to the fact that there are
extensive crop failures in Europe"
"Its mighty strange" said the col
ored man to his employer, ''that there
should be crop failures in Europe and
higher prices in America every time
the republican party is in power. Guess
the old republican party is all right
yet. gold standard and protection
thrown in"
The free silverite was at the end Of
the nversation.-Iowa State Regis

GItIYII. EXPERIENCE.
Thrilling Time III a Boiler Room Where
Death Seemed Certain.

Williamsport, Pa. Feb. PIP. j.
Fcnnc1, an engineer at an old saw
mill in Susquchanna, had to think
and act quickly the other day to save
his life. The mill where lie works
has not been started up in ten years,
but recently it was decided TO start
up. Among the machinery left in
the old mill were boiler and station
ary engine. They we're in bad shape
but E'cnncl got them ready for bust
ness.
The other day Fcnncl fired up to
test the boiler and engine, and then
wcnt away to another part Of the
mill. He was delayed some, and re-
turned to find the boiler was gcncr-
atiny steam with friyhtful rapidity.
lie rushed into the boiler house, the
door closing after him with a bang.
The door fastened on the outside with
a hasp and drop hook and the jar
caused the hook to drop into the
staple, making Fcnnel Il prisoner
Although tested to only 100 pounds,
the steam gauge showed that
the boiler had already generated ITO
pounds, and the quivering hand on
the steam guagc was mounting high
cr and higher THAT the boiler was
liable to explode at any moment
Fcnncl knew well. He glanced at
the safety valve and was startled to
see that it had become fastened in
some manner and refused to work.
lie was about to climb up and
loosen the ra,to:y safety gua9c
when his eyes bchcld sight from
which he drew back. Around the
safety valve, Just where hc was about
to grasp it with his hand, was coilcd
d big rattlcsnake, while two othcl
reptiles OF the same species lay on
the floor of the boiler house. They
had evidently been drawn from tllcil
hiding places in the wall or floor o.
the old boiler house by the heat.
The q4lvcring hand Of the steam
gua9c told Fcnncl only two r!ainl'
that the pressure on the boiler wa
becoming terrific. But he could no
pass the scrpcnts and reach the boil

ALLEGES BRIBER Y.
Joincs Saws His Vote For Senator IIeit'
field Was Bought.

Boise, Feb. 25.-In political circles
today there was pronounced meas
urc of excitement owing to a report
that Representative JONES, Of FL
more county, had made an aI1idavit
charging that he was bribcd to vote
for Henry Heitfeld forUnitcd States
senator. Joines Las made such an
affidavit. 1t charges that he was
paid $3.50 by one individual, and
promised $3.50 more by the same
party, and paid 5000 by another in
consideration of his vote for Senator
lIcitfcld. The al1idayit. sets forth
that on the 9th Of January the pop.
uliSt caucus made a nomination that
was not satisfactory to Mr.. JONES,
wllcrcupon lie left the room and re-
paired To the thcatcr. Later Repre-
sentative W. Y. Perkins asked him.
to take Il ride to the hot springs and
remain over night. Perkins asked
him during the ride to vote for llct-
field and promised to pay him a large
sum Of money if he would do so. The
next morning. at the capitol, Perkins
promised him that if he would vote
for lIcitfcld that he would pay him
$3.50
After the election Perkins paid
him $3.50, the remaining $500 not
having been paid. The affidavit
further declares that G. G. Fuller
promised to pay him 500 if he would
vote for llcitlcld. After the election
Fuller told him that he would get
the money from Senator IIcitfcd.
Thcrcupon, Joincs alleges, Fuller and
lIcitlcId went together to the Capt.
tol State bank. They returned in Il
short time and then Fuller hand
cd him the 5000 agreed upon.
/ JONES says it has always been his
intention to make such statement
Whcn the proper time should arrive.
1t is understood that two other mem
bcrs haze made similar a!1idavits. AS
/ nearly as can be learned, this matter
has been worked up by popu!ist, ;lnd
is said to havc been engineered from
the Office Of populst attorney in
i this city. This is 4 circumstance
that cOnIllScs those Wh0 are seeking
for Il motive for the bringing out Of
tile charges. One theory is that it is
il part Of Il plan to prevents the scat
ing of Mr.. IIcjtfcld as United States
l senator.
