jerry Simpson made considerable
fun in the house one day last week, by

Dingley's hat bore a London stamp.

guiding star of the republican. When
Mr.. Dingley came in and laid it down
upon his desk they 1.-THE republicans J

is an amusing coincidence" Jerry
said, that Mr.. Dingley should get
his hats at the SAM place from which
he got his financial views.'' He then
referred to the rumor that Mr.. Ding1ey
had hurried an Importation of wool in
order to get it into this country before
his own bill, which raised the tariff,
went into effect. He said that the
great protection leader did not seem
disposed to give American labor the
full measure of protection. Mr.. Ding
ley attempted to reply that the hat was
an American hat, which had been mar
ked London to facilitate its sale. The
reply was greeted with jeers. He said
that it was untrue that he had import
ed wool, as reported.

The Golden-Rod Books are most
delightful series, intended to furnish
attractive supplementary reading for
the first four books of any series OF
readers. "Rhymes and Fables" for
the first reader grade, is full of the
cherished nursery lore and fable of
generations.
''Songs and Stories'' the title OF
the second volume, is q compilation
of songs and stories that have been
landmarks in literature.
The third volume Fairy Life" is an
appeal to the imagination of the child.
The German literature is so rich in
imagination, and they pay more at
tention to the development of this fac
ulty than perhaps any other nation.
American children, as rule, do lot
have enough reading that appeals to
the imagination in a fine way. The
fourth volume is Ballads and Tales"
and is mythical history and romance
combined for Intermediate pupils.
Those old friends, Arthur, Gallahad,
William Tell, and Robin Hood are all
brought to the attention. The books
are all attractively gotten up and their
moderate price places them within
reach of schools with slender resources
and of almost every family. =

1t begins to look rs though an extra
session of the state legislature would
be called in the near future, to enact
railroad legislation in conformity
with the party pledges. Gov. Leedy
has, with the assistance of the best le-
gal talent in the party, formulated a
bill that, it is believed, will cover the
case, and at the same time be impreg-
nable to the attacks of the corpora
tions whose "vested rights" are inter-
fered with. This is the only measure
of great Importance that was not sat-
isfactorily disposed of at the last ses-
sion, and with this disposed of We will
be in better shape to go before the
people on our record than any admin
istration of late years, for with the
Stock Yards law. the school book law.
the reduction of fees and salaries, etc.
and this railroad legislation We will
have made an enviable record in the
peoples interests. 1t is also to be
hoped that the extra session will do
away with the metropolitan police law
which is repugnant to every principle
of local self government. Let the good
work go on! With Leedy in command,
backed by such trusty lieutenants as
Boyle, McNall and the other state Of
fcers we are bound to win great VIC
tory and firmly establish the rule of
