"BiII'' Morrison ana inc nrewer.

Col William r. Morrison who is retir-
ing from the presidency of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to resume the
practice of law at his old home in Hi
nois, has had a long and varied expert
ence in politics, and many stories are told
Of his ups and downs in that field says
the Washington correspondence of the
New York Tribune. His manners are
plain and bluff and his friends have al
ways shown marked devotion to his for
tunes. 1t is related that some years ago
after one of his congressional campaigns
which was waged with much earnestness
on both sides, but in which he lost, one
of his most ardent supporters, a rich old
German brewer, who had taken the de-
feat very much to heart, said to Col
Morrison:
Colonel, Wy you don't quit dot poltick-
in? 1t strikes me as poor business for
so good a man as you. After servin' der
people so veil in der Congress- you comes
home and asks dem to send you back, and
dey sends anoder fellow. I would not
stand such treatment. Wy you don't stay
out of dot business now?''
Well, Jake, " replied the colonel ito
be frank with you, 1 can't afford to give
up politics. l entered public life when I
was young; 1 have remained now a good
many years. like the life, I am thought
10 nave some capacity for theswork, and
so 1 am thoroughly broken to that har-
ness l must be occupied, you know. I
have no fortune. Mine is the old story
old fellow. l have sometimes thought it
might have been better had never gone
into politics, but now that 1 am in and
have become something of a veteran. I
see no way out We cannot hope for I'M
interrupted success, no matter what we
may engage in. I'll hope for better luck
the next time. You'll help me then, won't
you, as you did this timer"
ON, certainty, certainly replied the
brewer IF you will stick to Politician
w, I'll stick to you. But tink YOU could
do much better. How much dat poll
tckin pay, anyhow"
A congressman" replied Col. Morri-
son, ''gets 5000 year and mileage"
Wy, my good friend?" exclaimed the
brewer, holding out his hand as if TO
clinch bargain, you give up dot pili-
tckln and come to me, and l paw YOU
5000 year, and all expenses, to travel
for der brewery"
the colonel told his old friend he would
prefer to have his support in another race
for Congress. And he received it.

Farmer and Megaphone.

I was on the Upper Ohio this summer
when the river was low. and was much
amused over the use to which pilot put
a megaphone, says writer in the Cincin-
att Cimmercial Gazette. He bought the
thing to call ashore any message that
might have been given the boat 10 carry.
This was TO save time, for these little
boats in the local trades are a great deal
Ike the old-fashioned mail carriers, any
thing TO accommodate the people along the
bank.
I'VE were in the pilot house, and the boat
was running up a chute near the West
Virginia side of the river. In a cornfield
was an old farmer, who was following a
plough behind an old, f1ea-bitten gray that
only needed half invitation to stop at any
b time. The pilot put the megaphOne TO his
mouth and shouted 'Whoar and the old
gray Whoaed.
"The farmer heard the sound, and he
thought, evidently, that neghbor was
there or thereabout, for he looked around
to see whence the sound came. Then he
tossed a clod at the old horse and started
him up.
Whoa said the pilot, and again the
old horse stopped. Then the old RUDE
went to the river bank and looked down
in the willows, but not a soul could he see.
He looked up and down and then at the
steamboat and scratched his head in sur
prise. He couldn't afford to waste any
time in looking for the ghost, for he went
back 10 the plough and started on with
his job.
"Once more the joking pilot said whoa,
and again the horse stopped dead still.
You could see from the boat that the old
fellow was all mixed up, for he looked up
and down the river, and then at the hill
side behind him to see if he could find the
man who was working him and his old
horse. He made up his mind that he
would take it out of the old gray and to
fix for the occasion he went TO the under
long. He started the horse with a VEN
geance. When the pilot hollered whoa
again the old man gave the gray a lick
that sounded clear to the boat. We could
almost hear him say:
Thar, gol darn you, I'll teach you to
stop when you hear a spook hollerin at
ye.'
But the pilot kept up the good work
and hollered whoa whoa, whoa, and again
the old man hit the gray. Finally it look
ed as If he had caught on. for ne let the
old horse stop while he watched the boat
Then the pilot thought he had had
enough fun and he called out:
" Feed the old gray; feed him. He's so
hungry that he can't work. That's all
the matter with him.
"Then old Rube got his voice and we
hear him say: You go to thunder with
your old voice. It'd stop a railroad train
ANYWHERE F."

Is 1t Assurede

The announcement is made with great
show of joy in the organs of the Hawaiian
annexianists that the ratification of the
Hawaiian treaty is assured. The friends
of the treaty say that 81 senators have
declared their intention TO vote for rati-
fication, and that five senators who have
not yet committed themselves on the
question, are certain to vote for ratifica-
ton. Should this statement prove to be
correct the treaty would receive two
votes more than are necessary for ratiica-
ton But how about the statement? Is
it correct?
Those who are opposed to the treaty
are confident that it isn't They are of
the opinion that the claim that the treaty
will be ratified with votes to spare is
made for the purpose of influencing those
senators who have not yet made up their
minds as to whether they will vote for
it or not.
1t is little curious that Senator White
of California should lead the opposition
to the treaty. 1t is said that Senator
Perkins of the same state is opposed to it,
but will vote for it because he believes
that the majority of the people of Califor-
mia favor It,
There is no doubt that the Republican
party Is going to make an extraordinary
effort to have the treaty ratified. 1t was
under a Republican Observation-Disclosures
rison's-that the rightful government of
the Hawaiian Islands was overthrown,
and a revolutionary government was es-
tablished. The revolution was successful,
because it had the moral support of the
United States government. Had not the
natives believed that the United States
were behind the conspirators Mr.. Dole and
his fellow plotters would not have been
successful in their undertaking. If the
treaty should be ratified it is doubtful if
the United States would derive much ben
eft from the acquisition. The fact that
the territory was acquired by force and
fraud would ever remain a blot upon their
good name.
1t is understood that the treaty will be
so amended that Hawaii cannot become
state until a majority of her population
are of the Caucasian race. An amend
ment of that kind would not be satisfac-
tory 10 Dole and his friends, because they
are expecting to be governors and sena-
tors and other high officials. 1t would be
some satisfaction if the men who over
threw the rightful government of Hawaii
should not receive the high places they
have sought in such a crooked way.

stin Talking Bimeta,Iism.


Does the President still believe there is
a chance for international bimetallism or
is he simply playing politics? He is quot
ed as saying in a conversation which he
had with Senator Chandler on Monday
that he intends to send his commissioners
70 Europe again just as soon as the con-
ditions are favorable for continuing ne
gotiations in favor of International bimet-
al.ism. This sort of talk would be worth
listening to if there We're a probability Of
conditions favorable to an interna tional
agreement in respect to silver. There is
no prospect now of any such conditions
The powers Of Europe appear to be pretty
wen satisfied with the gold standard
There is certainly no signs OF strong
movement in behalf of double monetary
standard.
The commissioners appointed by the
President to visit European governments
in behalf of international bimetallsm
found very little that was calculated to
encourage them in their mission, and since
their return they have reported nothing
which gives the friends of bimetallism in
this country reason to hope that the sill
yer question viii be settled by interna-
tional agreement The fact is that in Eu-
rope there is a gradual drifting away from
silver the belief being that there can be
but one standard, and that it must be
gold.
1t looks very much as if the President
understands very well that to bring about
an International agreement in respect to
silver is a hopeless undertaking, but has
decided that the wiser policy for him to
pursue from the standpoint of politics is
to stand squarely upon the national Re-
publican platform, which contains dec
laration in favor of international bimetal-
lism. If he pursues that course his party
can have no fault TO find with him. When
the next national convention of his party
meets he could show that he has been
faithful to the promises and pledges of it's
platform. That would be good ground on
which to ask for a renomination-and a
denomination, doubtless, is what he de-
sires.
The Presidents declaration, therefore,
that he intends to continue TO try to
bring about international bimetallism
practically means nothing more than that
he intends to maintain the most harmo-
NOUS relations with his party on the sill
yer question. He favors international BIZ
metallsm if his party favors it, and he
is ready to declare for the gold standard
if his party makes a declaration of that
sort. In the meantime an effort will be
made to bring about currency legislation
on the lines laid down by the President in
his message-lines which, if followed
would have a tendency to strengthen the
gold standard. The President isn't going
to have any gap between his party and
himself IL he can help 1t. He not only
wants to be the candidate of his party
support of his entire party

The court martial of Comte Esterhazy,
In Paris, was rushed through with such
dispatch as to suggest that the govern
ment was rather anxious to get through
with it quickly. What transpired behind
the closed doors of the court is not known

safe to say that the acquittal of the ac-

Towards the Deem.
From the Bookman


Let the lilies fiaunt their graces
Since the golden hearts which hide
In the golden buds embraces
VIII adorn richer tide.
Statelier swans will sweep the lake
When the cygnet quits the brake.
Where the Undines lave their faces.
Unespied.
More melodious Junes are sleeping
In the lingering linnet's throat.
And a brighter dawn is peeping
Where the sunset aureoles float,
When the plaintive minor dies
All the grand crescendos rise,
Deeper rapture onward sweeping.
Note by note.
And. as Sulla's rebel minion
Vaunted more the rising sun.
Love may turn on listless piuion
When the zenith we'll is won.
Spelled by some diviner glow
Which affection yet may know.
Since through even hearts Hercynian
Danubes run.
Hence l wait till, through the bushes
Which thy latent passions keen.
Like some rosy dream that bushes
On the russell bough of sleep.
Love shall leap and greet my own
With an ardor yet unknown.
AS the deep-born river rushes
Towards the deep.

vote IN the election of a city treasurer,

The indefatgable Edison is at it again
He has made another new and very i'm
portant discovery, which is going to rev.

metal which, mixed with iron, greatly
strengthens the latter. The discovery
was made by accident in his great mag
netic ore separating plant in New Jersey.
Under Edison's new process thousands of
articles which must now be forged can be
cast, just as pots and kettles and other
common cast iron articles are made. Fur
Their than this, the new alloy will do away
with the old and slow process of making
malleable iron. The inventor is now max
ing experiments, and is said to be obtain

1t seems likely that the word Klondike
will have to be put into the language as
an adjective describing stories which one
may believe or not as he sees fit. Many
of the yarns which are coming from the
Klondike are of such doubtful and con-
Trajectory character that one never knows
what to believe and what not TO believe.
A story just printed is to the effect that
meat at Dawson City is so plentiful that
the people there hardly know what to do
with il. and that 1t is selling for the beg
carly prices of 80 to 40 cents a pound.
The meat is said to have come to the
miners on the hoof and of its own volt
ton. in the shape of moose and caribou
in large numbers. Meantime stories of
starvation at Dawson are finding their
way into print almost every day.

What is called new process butter

that the product is made from rancid but

chemicals and boiled in sour milk II Is
said that rancid butter thus treated will
pass the usual butter tests undetected.
Hence 1t is very hard to prevent the sale

One cause of the plethora of money in

of mortgage indebtedness which have
been made by land owners in the Western
states. Money accommodating I'm conse-

Rubbing in n Fact.


The regularity and unanlmity with which
stories of strikes in cotton factories in
the East, are reported, suggest that at
last the cotton manufacturer must realize
that the only place to make cotton goods
is in the country where the cotton is
grown.
