OIrART OF RUM FOR A PROHIBIT
 IONIST.


 The friends of a gentleman well known about the city have been having the biggest sort of laugh at hls eX- nense to-day. It seems. that the gen. tleman had been calling on a young lady and becoming acquainted with her father thought he would send him token of friendship. He selected quart bottle of rum as fitting artlcle with which to cement their friendly relations and dispatched it by mes senger. Somehow after that bottle was received there was coldness that could be felt when the gentleman made his calls and he could not understand it. The fact of the spirits being sent leaked out from the messenger ana the mystery was explained. The reclp- tent of the bottle Is an ardent temper ance man and prohibitionist to whom a bottle of rum is more offensive than polecat; and the donor since his friends have explained matters to him, is wondering if it would nave been possible to have made worse break.-New London Day.

A STRANGE INCIDENT.

An exchange, reports that in Plants vile, Jumbo" the old team horse, which has served H. D. Smith & Go. for the past twenty-one years, is dead. A few weeks ago new horse was pur- chased by the company to take Jun bo's'' place. The new horse occupied the stall formerly occupied by Jumbo" he being removed to another stall. Since that day the old horse rapidly failed, though the best of care was given him. A few days ago he was taken to the Dayton farm on West street, apparent ly as well as ever, but the next morn- ing he was found dead in his stall, Some claim that no cause can be as signed for his death except grief from seeing his old place filled by another. Jumbo was a familiar character about the Huntsville streets, and will be missed by the employees of the fac tory as he was a favorite with all the men.

HOW THE KHALIFA DIED.

Was Shot Through the Head, Heart, Arms
and Legs-body Guard All Died With
Him.
CAIRO, December 1.-Officers from
the Soudan who have arrived here say
that when Gen. Wingate's force over
took the Khalifa the latter tried to out
flank the Anglo-Egyptians but failed.
Seeing his position was hopeless, the
Khalifa told his emirs to stay with him
and die. He then spread sheepskin
on the ground and sat down on it, with
the emirs on either side of him. The
Khalifa was found shot through the
head, heart, arms and legs and the
emirs were lying dead beside him. The
members Of his body guard were all
dead in front of them.
Gen. Wingate's force swept over
them without recognizing the Khalifa
and his efirs, but they were identified
later.
The Khalifa is described as of medi-
um height, strong and stout. of light
brown color and wearing long, grey
beard

THE MANAU ENSE.
A Member Of the Grew, Back From
Honolulu, Confirms the Bad Re-
ports From Manila.

SAN FRANCISCO, December ARTHUR
Burns, who was butcher on the transport
Manauense, has returned from Honolulu,
where he left the vessel on account of
sickness. Burns tells startling tale Of
the voyage of the transport between this
port and Honolulu. He says that ten men
deserted the vessel at Honolulu. and but
two Of the vacancies could be filed before
the departure of the vessel for Manila.
According to Burns, the transport leaked
three days after leaving San Francisco,
and the condenser broke down. The re-
frigerating plant collapsed before the yes
sci reached Honolulu Burns states that
the ships carpenter, who was called into
consultation regarding the condition Of the
vessel was one of those who deserted at
Honolulu. He states that the bold was so
fun of water that the floor Of the lower
state rooms was awash and that he was
compelled to seek berth in the soldiers
quarters.

TELEPHONE COMBINE.

Federal Company aud ths American Com
pany Likely to Consolidate.
CLEVELAND, December IA meet
ing of the shareholders of the recently
organized Federal Telephone Company
will probably be held here within a few
days to discuss the proposed consolida-
ton between that company and the
Telephone and Telegraph Co., of Amer
lea. Henry A. Everett one of the
heaviest hackers of the Federal Com
pany, speaking of the proposed deal
said: 1T is possible that the Federal
will not combine with the big combina-
ton. at once It may be some time
before the consolidation is effected.
But If the Federal Company is not a
part of the combine from the first there
will be a contract for the two COM
panies to work together, that will
make the position of the Federal Com
pany perfectly perfect secure"

no increase in the value of -four ex-
ports for ten years. Our exports OF
manufactures have advanced by leaps
and bounds, but not our agricultural
exports. And while the farmers mar
ket is relatively restricted and the
price of his product fixed, the manu-
facturer gains enormous profits from
protection in enhanced domestic prices
and has been able to extend his mar
kets abroad without fear of home COM
petition. 1t is not easy to see how.
with increased prices for manufactured
products and sluggish prices for farm
products, the farmer can justify
THE PROTECTIVE POLICY
SO far as his particular interests are
concerned. In view OF these facts the
proposal for an export bounty on vari-
GUS agricultural products, though in
defensible. does not appear preposter-
Gus by any means. Why leave the far
mer out of the great grab game?
The administration Programme anyway
does not contemplate the interests Of the
whole people. but only of classes Take
the steamship subsidy bill, for the benefit
OF the shipbuilding syndicate; the new cur
rency bill, for the benefit of bondllolderS
and bankers and the whole expansion poll
icy. which viii put fortunes into the hands
Of concession hunters and franchise grab
bers. Hawaiian planters made great for
tunes out Of the mere rise in land values
consequent upon annexation. More for
tunes viii be made in Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines, but not by tine masses
Of the American people There Is no place
for the poor emigrants in any OF our new
possessions, unless possibly in Cuba, which
is not yet ours. The key of Republican
policy, as anyone can see, is the filtration
of prosperity by driblets upon the whole
people through the medium of vast con-
cessions to the few. Upbuild wealth, the
theory IS, and the masses VIII prosper by
it. Give millions to shipbuilders. and they
will employ thousands of workmen.
THE GOLDEN CoRNUCoPIA
must be held by men Of wealth, and these
will shower blessings upon the earth.
But this is not the true Democratic idea;
it is the aristocratic one, that all good must
proceed from above, that the masses
should be dependent upon plutocracy for
work and wages, for liberty and happi-
ness. That it should find exemplifcaion in
Republican policies and legislation is nat
ural enough in party which has adhered
strongly TO the doctrine that high wages
could only be maintained by comforting
special privileges upon manufacturers BY
which they could reap extordonate PROFITS.
Steamship subsidies, banking monopoly.
and imperialism are the legitimate fruit Of
the protective regime. NJ.
