DINGLEY EXPLANATIONS.
Republican Statements Which Arc
 Intended to Mislend.

The faithful little band of Dingley defenders are rending the air with wild huzzas over the treasury statement of our January exports. Mine millions and half larger than under the Will son law last year!" they shout. "Who dares say that Dingley is not building up our foreign trader"
 It is pity to interfere with these sights and sounds of glee where gloom has rcigned ever since the New Eng land strikes were announced.
 But
 An examination of the figures shows that there was an increase in two items of food products of more than $11 .00O,- 900. And even the most devoted Ding leyite admits that Dingley is not chiefly the author of the shortage in the Eu- ropean and Asiatic food supply.
 If Dingiey is to be credited with the general increase of nine and n half mill lions, and if he is not the author of the crop failures abroad, then on the show ing of his friends he must be responsi- ble for the decrease of about two mil- lions in exports of products other than breadstuffs and provisions.
 The January statement seens to call for more of those Dingley explana- tions that do not explain.-N. Y. World.

A farmer named Storer was shot and instantly killed in his wagon on the Eureka Springs road near Huntsville. in Madison county, and his 16-year-old daughter was arrested on suspicion of having committed the crime. Storer's wife and the girls sweetheart are also suspected of having had hand in the killing. On the day of the tragedy Storer and his daughter were returning home from Huntsville. where he had ,.s .n to transact some busin ess -> L.ling was reported by tn s,ri when she reached home, and her story was that a strange white man committed the murder. She said he got into the wagon and after riding a short distance shot her father, jumped out of the wagon and ran off into the woods. The pistol used was found within 20 feet of the dead man. Despite the girls story, a coroner's jury ordered her held on sus. picion.

He Had Flung Up.

The superior court was in session and the little mountain town was crowded with people. Along about the middle of the day when the judge was worried with a tedious trial, Bill Williams. of the Lick Creek settlement, began gal loping up and down the streets on his little red mule, firing off his pistol, whooping like Sioux, and otherwise dispensing the energy which liberal supply of corn liquor had inspired.
 Mir. Bailiff," commanded the judge, sternly, 'go out and arrest that man and bring him into court"
 The bailiff went timidly out of the courtroom and the judge attempted to proceed with business. But Williams racket outside did not cease It grew worse and the judge looked over the room for some one else to send out, and observed the bailiff sitting complacent- ly on one of the back seats.
 Look here. Mir. Bailiff, why did you not arrest that disorderly man? Are you not an officer of the court?"
 "f-y-es," replied the bailiff. quaking with fear. "I wuz, but I've done flung Journal.

John Sherman. siIence.

There is notable absence of tine name of John sherman in the current dis patches, though the counsel and ac- tion of the head of the state depart ment are now of more moment than at any time since the inauguration of the president who placed him at the head of the department. The work IS done by the first assistant, Diplomat Day, and not we'll done. John Sherman is superannuated and incapable. But that was known when he was appointed only to make room for the money packer of the administration in the senate of the United States. That at this important juncture the state department is with out capable head is the result of Me Kinley's effort to pay his debt to Mark Hanna.-Chicago Chronicle.

KNAvERY OF REPUBLICANS.
Legislative Corruption for Organized
 Wealth.

Conservative men and conservative newspapers hitherto affiliated with the republican party are beginning to rec ognize the corruption of that organi- zation. Gov. Pingrce has given his views on the situation and has been attacked fiercely by the subsidized press as republican renegade. Now the United States Investor, one of the most influential of the financial pa pers in this country, speaks serious words of warning. In an article dis cnssing the political situation the In- vestor has the following to say con corning the republican party:
 Here we have knavery pure and simple. In word, legislative corrup- tion in the interests of organized wealth! Where is the person who will venture to deny this? Was it many years ago that one of the leading busi- ness men of Boston-the promoter of large schemes for the public benefit frankly admitted under investment that he had spent large sums in ob- taining necessary legislation from the legislatures of Massachusetts, excusing himself with the plea that such course was absolutely necessaryw
 Remember, this is not the utterance of partisan newspaper. 1t is not even an argument made by the editor of the Investor. It is statement of historical fact proved by the records of court of law. But this is not all the Investor says. It points the moral in the fol- lowing strong and vivid words:
 How much longer can the republic tolerate such state of affairs with impunity? The concentration of wealth in a few hands and it's employ ment in influencinglegislation are phe- nomena which have been carefully studied in the past. The history of the Roman empire affords an interesting study in this direction. Or perhaps the career of France prior to the revolu- tion would be more pleasing"
 When a financial newspaper, natural ly inclined to favor the party pledged to serve the money power, sees the danger which threatens this country, is it not time for the people to assert their power? Indeed, the time is ripe, and the people are not closing their eyes. In 1900 there will be revolt against corruption and the republican party will be swept out of power.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
 k1Ondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader com ing to Alaska. to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that is the neces- sity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured in the States, in the Dominion, or at the supply stores here or further on, this must be his primary concern. Upon the manner in which the miner has observed or neglected this precau- ton more than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend.
 These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated, but the most careful attention in the selection of foods that will keep unimpaired in- definitely under all the conditions which they will have to encounter is imperative. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be re- lied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miner with can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; 1t is the cheapest in the end. Experi- ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow der to be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly SUD- ply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay for.-Alaska Mining Journal

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS

No doubt Senator Hanna will feel tickled to death when he hears that Gov. Bushnell has reappointed Col. A. l.. Conger a member of his military staff. Col. Conger Is the talented Ohio republican who advised his fellow re- publicans to throw the harpoon into Hanna.-Columbus (O.) Press.
 One result of the Hanna Foraker- Bushnell-Kurtz vendetta opened by the recent fight on Hanna in President Mc- Kinley's state will be that of causing the country at large to entertain profound distrust of Ohio republicanism as a fac tor in the production of the more desir- able types of American public men, St. Louis Republic.
 During the present month the government has paid out about $1 ,000,- 000 day more than it has taken in. The revenue from customs has not been equal to the disbursements for the sin gle item of pensions. The deficit is piling up every day. In short, the Ding ley tariff seems to work at all points for the confusion of its advocates and sup porters.-Boston Post
 We will probably reach the stage after awhile, if such men as Hanna con tinue to dominate our affairs, when seats in the United States senate will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, like pews in some of the fashionable churches in our large cities. Rome reached stage of degradation in her decline where the right to rule was auctioned off to the highest bidder, and we are travelling on the same road Louisville Dispatch

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of Spanish Lady to .
 Lone Soldier Boy.

Lone Soldier Boy.
 A recent traveller in Spain describes touching scene witnessed at the depar- ture of regiment for Cuba. All day iong there had been heard the meas ured tread of soldiers marching through the street; all day long gayly bedecked boats had been passing to and from the vessel that was to take them to Havana. The twilight began to deepen when the correspondent saw startling and pretty sight"-the impetuous action of portly, good-looking and well-dressed lady, who noticed young soldier walk ing dejectedly along down the pier in his travelling gray, with a knapsack strapped over his shoulders. All the rest of the men had friends, their novias, mothers, relatives, and made the usual gallant effort to look elated and full of hope. This lad had no one, and it might be divined that he was car rying a desolate heart over the seas. The handsome woman burst from her group of friends. took the boys hand, and said: My son has already gone to Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu- sia, and sailed two months ago. You may meet him. Pope G.; take this kiss to him." She leaned and kissed his cheek"
 An English boy would have shown awkwarness, but these graceful southerners are never at loss for a pretty gesture and a prettier word. The boy blushed with pleasure, and still holding the lady's hand. said with quite natural gaIlantry, without smirk or silly smile: And may not take one for myself as well, senora?" The lady reddened, laughed little nervously, and bent and kissed him again to the frantic applause of soldiers and civil ians, while the boy walked on, braced and happy.-Blackwood Magazine.

WILD SCHEME OF BoureLL.
wosld Forever Deprive Silver of Its
 Money Value.


 Congressman Boutell may be of that intellectual fiber which places him in the same class with former President Harrison, Justice J. Brewer and Bishop c. Potter, but his speech at the Chicago Marquette club banquet on Chicago Q Political Storm Center" gives little proofs of that fact, if it be a fact. How ever, Congressman Boutell added to the hilarity of the occasion by proposing new" system of coinage which he ex- plained as follows:
 ''I suggest the establishment of . monetary system based upon the unre- stricted coinage of gold and silver by weight according to the metric sys- tenn, and I would like to venture the prediction that within the lives of many of us who are here tonight this will be the generally accepted money system of the world. 1t can be adopted at any time by any nation without waiting for the cooperation of other countries, and foreign exchanges can be adjusted to such system more readily than our fathers adjusted their outstanding con- tracts under our present system when it was adopted century or more ago. Under this system we would have universal coinage. Each coin would express on one side it's national charac- ter and on the other its universal char acter. On the obverse side of the coin | would appear the arms, insignia and le- gend of the nation that issued it, and on the reverse side would appear the simple story of its weight, told in the uni- versal language Of the metric system" This "new" scheme was old to tho ancient Greeks, as it is proved by the terms they used in characterizing their money. The talent, the nina and the drachma are all measures of weight, though drachma means literal ly handful. It must have appeared to the banker secretary of the treasury that Congressman Boutell had too large a grasp on the financial question, when he advocated the free unlimited coin- age of gold and silver at a gold mono metallist's love feast. Of course, the objection to such method of coinage is self-evident. No man could tell just how much his talent, his nina or his drachma was worth until he had con- sidered the market report of gold and silver bullion. But Congressman Bou- tells heart is in the right place. He de- nounces the "40-cent dollar" with due republican scorn, and he appeals to ma tional honor" with true republican gush.

ENGLAND AND BlMETALLISM.
A Republican Scheme to Help the Gold
 Power.

A Republican Scheme to Help the Gold
 Power.
 Those who still have lingering faith in the myth of international bimetal- lism will do well to read the dispatches received from London recently. That England will never consent to an inter national agreement looking to an en- larged use of silver has long been ap- parent to the best friends of silver, and it has become perfectly apparent that the republican party has used this plea of international bimetallism to keep silver republicans in line and thus keep the gold clique in power. In the dis patches from London, the following statement is made: "Replying to a question of Mir. Field in the house of commons as to whether the government intended to cooperate in promoting an international conference to consider the currency question, MT. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and government leader, said he was happy to say the government would be very glad to see an international agreement regarding currency, but that he had nothing to add to the information already in the possession of the house." Thus it will ever be with England. The true friend of bimetallism in that country can never overcome the influence of Lom- bard street, and while government leaders may express and even feel de- sire foran international agreement, that desire will never find expression in ac- tion. Silver men in the United States should drop all consideration of inter national action. It is a delusion and snare.-Chicago Dispatch.

Returning in Kind.

Germany is doing what France, Can ada, Mexico and half a dozen other na- tions have done, but in a more direct way. Anyone with an ounce Of com mon sense should have realized when the Dingley blunder was in process of hatching, declaring commercial war on the whole world on the pretense of pro tecting American citizens interests. that we were taking the first step to impair or destroy their interests. When we get blcwa in return. at least in self respect we should hold our peace and not whine.-PittsbIrgh Post.

The Webb Recital.

the recital by Francis j. Webb assist
ed by local talent. in Reeds opera
house last Tuesday evening Mr.
Webb has exceptional natural talent
as an elocutioniSt which has been de-
veloped and perfected by education
and thorough culture. He took his
audience by storm. The reports Of
his success which have come to Lam
caster from time to time had prepared
our peoples minds for something
pretty good but they were not expect
ing the accomplished and brilliant
performance which they enioyed last
Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Webb is good in humorous Sc
lections as well as the more serious
but his best effort last night was his
splendid rendition of Longfellow's
Robert of Sicily. To properly recite
this selection requires dramatic ability
of high order coupled with long and
arduous study. Besides Mr. Webn's
part in the exercises the audience were
treated to an excellent piano perform
ance by Miss Helen Moulton and VOC
al solos by Miss Hyde and Mr.. Carter
which merited and received hearty
applause.

well-known club, both of whom are so
fond of betting that they are willing
to wager money upon almost anything,
became involved in an argument over
the popularity of mustaches a few days

contended that the wearing of the hir-
suite adornment was on the wane; the
other said that more mustaches are
worn now than ever before. The up
shot of the matter was that the first Of

A warm argument followed as to the
disposition of this case, but the referee
