The Oyster Famine.

A wall has gone up from Passama-
Quoddy bay to Punxsutawney, from
Key West to Kalamazoo because the
oyster has become scarce or made him
self scarce. Like the Irshman's flea.
When you put your finger on him he
isn't there. He has gone to sea and
left epfcures and people with plain ap-
petites on the land also at sea. They
are yelling for the oyster at Cincinnati
and receiving another installment of
the New Years turkey hash. They
are reaching for the succulent mollusk
at Chicago and getting more "embalm-
ed beef" Down at Baltimore they be-

mas pulled the oyster beds up and 10
Gated them where Alger can use them
as graft" At any rate. every time
the merry Marylanders reach for them
they are not there The price of the
nice fat oyster has gone skyrocketing
up to 81 bushel. but nobody can hang
anything on that price-the oyster Is
not getatable. The poor little church
oyster, the busiest and the mummest
of the family. is also playind hide-and-
go-seek all UP and down the Atlantic
coast. and is everywhere except where
he is wanted. The greatest calamity
Of the waning century has struck us
in the stomach. The tears caused by
the war with Spain are but an April
shower alongside of the deluge which
will fall when it is known that the

whole subject of personally taxation
and suggest a remedy.
The taxation Of all franchises grant
ed to foreign corporations is also urged
by the governor as one Of the best and
most lawful methods OF procuring rev.
enue for the state. Coupled with a
further provision Of law fixing an an
nual franchise tax upon corporations,
the revenues thus procured will enable
the state. the governor calculates. to
dispense with the direct tax for the
revenue fund. Lest the prejudiced Or
careless citizen should go off at half
cock and declare that a Populist raid
upon corporations is herein contem-
plated. 1t may be stated that both these
acts. which Gov. Lind urges this Re-
publican legislature to sanction. are in
full force and effect in the great state
of New York. resulting in a handsome
revenue to the state annually. and
their validity has been upheld by the
supreme court of the United States.

The tax dodgers will note that Gov.
Lind has fixed his eyes upon them and
transferred their case to his message.
He points out that While the realty Of
this state amounts for taxation pr1r-

foots up only about $1O0, 900 900. and he
insists that the two amounts ought

Max O'Rell, in the current number of the
North American Review, illustrates the diff
ference between the old English mobiles and
their descendants by the following story:
"Voltaire had taken box at the opera and
was installed in it with ladies' when the
Duke of Lauzun, one Of the worst libertnes
in the time OF Louis XIV. arrived and asked
Tor a box He was respectfully informed
that all the boxes were taken. That may
be, he said, but see Voltaire in one; turn
him out In those times such things could
happen. and Voltaire was turned out. He
brought action against the duke to recover
the price of the box.
What! exclaimed the advocate for the
duke, is it NJ. de voltaire who dares to
plead against the Duke of Lauzun. whose
great-grandfather was the first to get on the
walls of La Rochelle against the Protestants,
whose grandfather took twelve cannons from
the Dutch at Utrecht, whose father captured
two standards from the English at Fontenoy.

against the Duke of Lauzun. who never cap

An Expansionist Of Dakota.

Gov. Fancher, of North Dakota, is an
eXpansionist. His message to the leg
1slature assembled at Bismarck 50 an
ncunces to an eagerly eXpectant world.
Where" asks the governor would
North Dakota be but for the policy of
eXpansion?" 1t might be imagined
from this that the state ran the risk
at some period Of being moved down
into the vicinity of Natchez, Miss; but
such is not the case. If the Union had
been confined to the original limits,
true, Bismarck would not now be en-
joying the efforts of Mr. Johnson to get
himself elected to the United States
senate, but North Dakota would have
remained right on the spot where it
was planted when the Northwest was
TUNED out Of natures workshop
But Mr.. Fancher eXaggerates the
early expansion movement and belit-
ties the programme Of the present day.
The movement Of this year Of our Lord
Is not one to acquire territory adjacent
to that already possessed. but to an
mex distant islands, and with them their
local troubles. ranging in Importance
from leprosy to revolution. Does Mr.
Fancher imagine North Dakota would
have been a good investment for the
United States if the natives of Devils
Lake had been up in arms, if Mandan
had been dissatisfied with the tax as
sessment. and if Bismarck had been
only waiting a chance to set up a little
government on it's own behalf? Mr..
Fancher probably does not, but in such
action in the far-away Orient he sees
nothing but the party Of Mr. Mckinley
carrying out it's manifest destiny. And
in this last it may be he is right. A
party with nothing before it but the
annexation of scattered Oriental ISL
ands has a destiny that is plainly mani
fest to most Americans, and might as
we'll carry 1t out with no loss Of time.

See! It's my opinion that bullet came from

ness, the reckless way the boys shot off their
revolyers in the charge.
ITO show you the queer things some of
those bullets did, I'll tell you a thing 1 saw

near me as we went along Who stopped
to break off stick in the shrub. I guess he
wanted to make a ramrod Of it. If he hadn't
stopped he might never have been killed, but
Just as he had broken the stick and was
twisting the last ibres apart, Mauser bullet
went straight through his head, and he
dropped to his knees. His hands still clutch
ed the branch he was breaking, and, as he
knelt there. another bullet came and cut
through the broken wood, so that he held his
ramrod free. He had got what he stopped
for."-Cleveland Moffett's War Stories in
