duced a bill making the appropria-
tion, which will go through all
right. The attempt of Representa-
tive Gillett, of Mass, to mix up
the appropriation and the Nc
Emery resolution, adopted by the
Senate last week, will do no harm,
as the bill will never be heard of
again.
Mr.. A. f. Noyes, a well-known
Minneapolis lawyer, wagered a case
OF champagne against case of beer
that the Democrats will not nom
mate Bryan next year. The wager
was taken by Representative Jones,
of Washington, but when Mr..
Noyes offered to make the same
wager that President Mckinley
would be renominated and re-
elected, Mr.. Jones declined.
When President Mckinley, in
his Boston speech, punctured the
imperialistic balloon which the
democrats in Congress have been
u SlhS ~ hdi' w SSu 0uIllCIClllIS
inflated to take it off the ground,
he also punctured the hopes of
numerous Democrats. who, having
nothing else in sight to make an
issue out of, had been hoping that
the straw man Of imperialism they
have been trying to set up under
that balloon, might be used. Need
less to remark that the Presidents
remarks pleased the Republicans
in Congress, because they were in
accord with nearly all their
speeches. There are no advocates
of imperialism in this country, nor
is there likely to be, simply because
there is no room for such under
our form of government.

Dangers of the Grippe.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe we have yet
to learn of a case having resulted in
pneumonia which shows conclusively
that this remedy is certain preventa-
tive of that dangerous disease. 1t will
cure la grippe in less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by L. Taggart.

cruel. As to the grounds for
indicting Mr.. Maynard we know
not but agree with the News
that the grand jury work may do
a person a great injustice. A
man should certainly have a
chance to defend himself against
any acquisition that may be

After the calm always comes
the storm After the excessive
and crazy speculation in copper
stocks which was witnessed last
spring came the reckoning time
and the panic. Every cent that
could be raked and scrapcd to-
gcther by the victims was put
into coppers with no thought
Of margining them should they
fail We are told that
well-to-do families in Marquette
have had their assets wiped out
by this reckless speculation.
Last week a Boston bank that
had loaded up with coppcrs was
forced to the wall by shrewd
moncyed interests which had
been watching the course Of
events and were prepared to
reap reward out Of others mis-
fortune.

But it is that part q his adj

can well be, the state machine is

1t is this state machine that Isl
the cause Of much of the cor
ruption that exists at Lansing
today and that has caused all
the uproar and furor in the Re

years. Ii is his nurturing Of
this machine that has caused the
defeat Of all OF his plans 81 equal

them are. The rank and file Of
the people who oppose Pngree
are not opposed to equal tax

favor il and, was the governor to
launch equal taxation for equal
taxation solely, and not as
capital for his political machine
the cause would have easy
shedding. It's the dross il the
tail that is weighing down the
kite, It's the antagonism which
the governor has stirred up
against himself that is retarding
the cause Of equal taxation, and
this antagonism is due to the
fact that the people see in Pin
gree's reforms simply a cloak to
cover his political schemes
There is much that IS good
about the "old man and his
taxation scheme and there Is
much that would be decidedly
calamitious about the triumph Of
his political machine. Had he
been a true reformer in the Re
publican party he would have
sought to reform the already
existing condition Of things in
that party. But no, Pingree

A Humnineb,rd,. Umbrelr.

In front Of window where worked
was butternut tree. A hunming- bird
built her nest on limb that grew near
the window, says writer in the Ameri-
can Sportsman, and we had an op-
portunity to watch her closely. In fact,
we could look right into the nest. One
day when there was heavy shower
coming up we thought we would see II
she covered her young during the rain.
Well, when the first drops fell she came
and took in her bill one of two or three
large leaves growing close by, and laid
this leaf over the nest so as to com
pletely cover it; then she flew away. On
examining the leaf, we found a hole in
1t, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked upon. After the storm
was over, the old bird came back and
unlocked the leaf, and the nest was
perfectly dry.
