TALES OF THE DAY.
Circus Lemonade

washington Post: Il met man yester
day who used to be in the circus bust
ness, or at least in one branch of it. for he
MADE most OF the money he has now by
keeping q lemonade stand near the big
tent-the main top" he calls it. Circus
lemonade has been so long a stock joke
OF the humorists that l felt n desire Ia
know how 1t is really made. I asked the
man 10 tell ma. and with perfect candOT
ne gave me this recipe:
Take one barrel of water preferably
rain water. add TO it three pounds of tar
tarlc acid. little cochineal. sugar to
taste and half a dozen lemons sliced
The profits of his lemonade stand. he
tolq me- frequently reach 800 a day.
We make more in the cities than in the
country" he said.
crowd?'
No, he answered; but country peo-
pie always eat the lemon. City people
leave 1t in the glass or simply throw it
on the grass, where it can be picked UP
again The real secret of success is, al
ways save the fioater."
After all, | never knew any body to
suTIer from the effects of circus lemon
ade, and the plan of always saving the
Ioaters IS really no more startling than
the little economy ! saw practiced by Il
w snington hostess one afternoon recent
~ she was giving a reception and in 4
lul the young woman at the
punch bowl asked for Il servant TO empty
the glasses which guests had left half

pensive to be wasted"

Tor home consumption, and the worst
Of 1t is that such talk is more than
likely to be extremely foolish talk;
and rarely IS it anything but most
uncomplimentary to the intelligence of
the voters at home. What are men
sent TO congress for? Is it to talk
for home consumption or to assist to
the best of his knowledge in guiding
the destinies of the nations?
Congressman Simpson says that he
guesses if he We're president he would
do about as Mckinley is doing Then
he thinks Mckinley is doing about
right, and as member of congress it
is his duty to say so and not criticise
and denounce him; by this we do not
mean to infer that the president is
doing the right thing in the Cuban
matter.
The Kansas congressman says that
if he We're president he would have to
look at the Cuban question from a
good many more sides than he does
as the gentleman from Medicine Bow,
and that he would have to assume very
much greater responsibility As
member of congress it is his duty to
look at the Cuban and all
other important questions from
all sides and see what the
result of his action win he The
moral responsibility of Congressman
Simpson. or any other member Of con-
gress, in this regard. is just as great
as that of the president; in fact one
trouble with many congressman is that /
hey sense their Importance far more /
than their responsibility.
The views Of members Of congress
should be as broad rs the continent,
when it comes to rational questions.
md the member who cannot lift his
yes beyond the horizon OF The district
rom which he comes, is not fit to have
| voice in directing the affairs of the
lation and is not true representative
# the people of his district If states
nen cannot ALWAYS be sent to con
sress. At least men should be- dema-
,oSues never.

- 90 oNE or NoTH1Na.

A Washington special to the Chicago
Times-Herald says there is a new
/ scheme afoot to restore harmony to the
ranks of the Democratic party. It is a
, plan to declare for the free coinage OF
silver, leaving the question Of ratio to
/ be determined by legislation and cir
cumstances. The projectors of the
movement believe that on a platform
Ike this the party can be united. For
some days the plan has been under
discussion among certain Democratic
senators and representatives. They
have made some Roadway, and. being
encouraged by number Of converts
which they have won, they are now
preparing to lay the idea before a
large number Of Democrats throughout
the country. Already. it is claimed,
w. C. Whitney has been consulted and
has given his sanction to the scheme.
Who the projectors of this movement
are, is not stated. 1t is desirable that
the Democrats who voted for Palmer
and Bucllner come bacx into the party,
but if the price Of their coming is to
be the surrender of the financial plank
Of the Chicago platform, let them re-
main out Of the party forever.
To declare for the free coinage of sill /
yer and leave the fixing of the ratio to
be determined by legislation and cir
cumstances, would be a begging of the /
question Of free coinage as now IN
aerstood; in fact, it would be a sur
rendering Of free coinage. To consent
TO consider any such plan as outlined
in this Washington dispatch would be
to consent to discuss the arrangements
for the funeral Of free silver. No Dem
oerat who stands fairly and squarely
IN the Chicago platform viii consent
to consider it for one moment. 1t must

pEcEnIBER Wool IMPoRTs.

It is reported that the treasury fig
ures of December imports, to be pub
lished in a few days, viii show imports
I Of wool for that month of nearly IS 600. -
coo pounds, says an exchange that is
/ strongly protectionist This is an in
/ crease from 100000 pounds d month,
three months ago. It shows that the
mills Of the country have absorbed the
/ enormous quantity of wool imported
in anticipation of the Dingley tariff.
It is also encouraging as Indicating that
one source of customs revenue is re-
covering to its normal yielding ca
pacity and encourages the hope that
the income of the treasury will soon
exceed its outgo.
The methods Of reasoning employed
by the protectionist mind are past find
ing out. Here is rejoicing over an in
crease in the imports OF wool But
do not these 100000 pounds Of wool
take the place of Just SO much Ameri-
can wool? What is wanted by the
protcctionist IS the home market for
the home producer. but here the wicked
foreigner is taking it. In this Darticu-
lar instance part of the rejoicing is
over the fact that this importation OF
wool viii produce considerable reve-
nue.. But is the sacred principle of
protection to be sacrificed in the least .
for revenue? If revenue had been the .
chief aim of the Dingley law it could
very easily have been provided for.
Whenever the present tariff law pro-
duces a revenue from any article that
is highly protected, the fact is seized
upon by the Dingleyites rs i vindica-
ton Of the law, and they praise it as
a revenue measure and not as pro
tective one. y revenue tariff and a
protective tariff cannot be combined,
for they are inconsistent; it viii either
be q revenue tariff with incidental
protection, or a protective tariff with
Incidental revenue; the Dingley law is
Of the latter kind. If it is producing
revenue. well and good for that is the
-reasury's great want today

RESPoNsIBIIITY OF CONGRESS-
MEN.

In speaking on the Cuban question
the other day, jerry Simpson said his
remarks were intended chiefly for
home consumption. that is. for his
Kansas constituents. Thereupon Con-
gresham Steele. of Indiana, asked him
what he would do if he were presi-
dent Il guess I would do about as
Mckinley is doing" answered Con
gresham Simpson. If I We're presi-
dent l would have to look at the ques-
ton from a good many more sides
than am doing as the gentleman from
Medicine Bow. and would have to
assume very much greater response
