And Yet they Want More Power.

What business man in this country,
about embsrking in Il venture that is
likely to cost him $4,000 would bor-
row $4,000 for ten years when he
knows that be could give his note for
one year for ten thousand and pay it
on its maturity? We can't believe
there is single man with the least
business sagacity who would pursue
the former policy. Yet that is just
what the present Republican admin
istration has done. 1t has issued
$200,000,000 in bonds payable in sew
eral years hence. This issue could
have been obviated by issuing Treas
ury notes. These notes could have been
redeemed at any time that suited the
convenience of the Government. OF
course the money sharks wouldn't
have had such a snap, but 1t would
have been an awfullY good thing
for the people. The interest on the
above vast amount at A per cent is

There has never been a political
campaign that equalled in imports
ance that of the one to be fought this
fall. The Republican party, backed
by the money power of this country
and Europe, is alert and aggressive.
Flushed with the victory of two years
ago, il will seek by every means in its
power to maintain its supremacy.

Sticking to John BarIeycOrn.

A professional gentleman who was
accustomed 10 take his morning glass
stepped into saloon and going up to
the bar called for a whiskey. A
seedy individual stepped up to him
and said;
81 cay, squire, can't you ask an I'M
fortunsts fellow 10 join your"
He was annoyed by tire mans ia
miliarity and roughly told him:
81 am not in the habit of drinking
with tramps,"
The tramp replied:
"You need not be 80 cranky and
aigh- minded, my friend. / venture
to say that l am of lust as good q
family as you are, have just as good
an education, and before 1 took to
drink was just as respectable as you
are. What ~ more, 1 always knew
how to act the gentleman. Take my
word tor it, you stick to John Barle, =
corn, and be will bring you to the
same place / am"
Struck with his words, the gentle
man set down his glass and turned to
look at him. His eyes were blood
shot, his face bloated, his boots mis-
mated, his clothing filthy.
"Then was it drinking that made
you like this ?"
ayes, it was and it will bring you
to the same II you stick to it,"
Picking up his untouched glass he
poured its contents upon the floor and
said:
"Then it's time quit" and left the
saloon, never to enter it agaip.-Ex.

Matters.

The following are interesting In
regard to Richard Croaker, the leader
of New York's Democracy:
"Mr. Croaker's way of getting at
the real truth of situation shows
how thorough are his methods. He
Dies not rely entirely on the reports
brought to him by his district leaders,
but goes out and makes personal
canvass onuhis own account. He will
visit every section o1 the city in the
course of a week, riFing around at
night on the front plttform of street
cars aud quietly pumtng every man
that he comes in contact with. 1t is
very rarely that he is yer recognized
sexcept by some distrilt captain who
knows better than p disclose the
identity of his chief. After a week or
lten days of these nightly excursions
)Mr. Croaker has caught on to the
drift of public opinion pretty accu-
rately. He has ALEC besn able TO To-

lines in different localitbs and is in q
position to repair them.j Many dis

in his district than hel did himself.
When Mr.. Crosker learn in his own

Il dropped forthwith and without
any ceremony.
"The offender is told that the chief

Mr.. Croaker, 'how are matters going
in your district? l am informed that

tdIf the culprit begins to make ex-

says: 'We expect the leaders of this
organization to attend to business.

hope to win any battles? Mr.. Blank,
will have to ask for your resigna-

Hearing Restored.

Fred Harris Cooper, aged fifteen, a
pupil in the Kentucky School for the
Deaf at Danville, has just crested a
small sensation among the other 3l4
pupils by suddenly recovering his
sense of hearing. About two years
ago young Cooper, who is a son OF
Joseph Cooper, of Danville, suddenl J,
lost his hearing without apparent
cause. All efforts to restore it failed
and he entered the School for the
Deaf. He made good progress last
session and was beginning this ses-
sion favorably. Last week, while
one of the professors was instru citing
Fred his face suddenly expanded into
a broad smile and he informed his
preceptor that he could hear every
thing around him. His hearing. had
returned as suddenly and as mysteri-
ously as it had disappeared, and Fred
left the school much happier boy.
