ABUSE AND FLATTERY.

1t is amusing to see Republican Or
gans reversing themselves on the PEI
fer question One day they depicted
the bewhiskered senator from the Sun
flower state" as a crank. lunatic, a
calamity howler, an anarchist and an
incendiary. Today they paint his por-
trait in glowing colors as patriot,
statesman, scholar, eminent economist
and good judge OF political principles.
And all because the senator. like our
esteemed morning contemporary. has
concluded that the financial question
is settled" wherefore he has returned
to the Hanna fold.
Some time ago the Commercial Ad-
vertiser Of New York called attention
TO the fact that 1.-The Salt Lake Tribune
has given up the silver fight" and now
it says of PETER:
Another striking evidence of the disin-
tegration and decay of Bryanized Popu-
Ism IN the grsat middle west appears in
the public announcement which has just
been issued by Hon. William 4. PETER,
former United States senator from Kan
sss.
He takes the position that the two
great questions that are yet seeking So
luton have been settled; and from his
statement concerning these one may
get an idea Of the soundness of his
much-lauded reasons for returning TO
the organization of gold and monopoly,
He says:
The labor question IS settling Itself and
the people won't listen 10 IS 10 l now any
more than they will 20 a discussion of the
tariff.
This causes the New York paper to
reconsider its opinion of the eminent
gentleman from Kansas" and it says
of his statement:
These expressions are pitched in the
KEY of true Americanism. They are dis
tfnctly out of tune with the spirit of
Bryanism and, corning from a man
whose character and attachments have
always been superior 10 his Populisr
associations. they possess a significance
which cannot be misunderstood.
While Mr.. PETER used to besa free
silver crank and a leader of anarch-
lists. if one may refer to the back num-
hers of the Commercial Advertiser for
an estimate of his character and that
OF the men who elected him to office,

A Punster Punished.


1t is well to be fortified with the facts
in the case before you attempt to in
dulge in fiippant witticisms on literary
subjects.
A local punster found this out the
other evening. He was at little gath
ering of literary people, and when re-
freshments were served tn talk hap
pened to turn to Holsters and shellfish.
Here was a chance for our inveterate
punster.
Turning to one of the guests, who is
quite literary parsonage, he gravely
inquired:
Pardon me, Mr.. Blank, but have you
read Crabbe's tales?"
This, you see, was an exquisite double
pun, but nobody smiled.
Whats that?" inquired Mr.. Blank.
Nothing kills a pun like repeating it.
Il inquired if you were fond of Crab
bes tales?" stammered the perspiring
joker.
Mr.. Blank looked at him with a de-
cidedly blank expression.
Excuse me- he said, but who was
Crabbe, and what tales did he writer
And for the life of him the joker
couldn't tell.
He found out afterwards that they
had all united to crush his first attempt
at punning.

The flogsing of four colored oper-
atives of the Kincaid mills at Griffin,
Ga. on Monday night, by whitecaps.
was an outrage the like of which The
Herald never loses an opportunity to
condemn. So far as anything appears
to the contrary. these negroes were
law-abiding workmen, who deserve a
better protection than the negro la
borers received in the abolition state
of Illinois during the Pana strike, and
we are glad to note that the governor
of Georgia has ordered out a company
of militia to guard them.

.(Cincinnati Ennuirer.l


He had been out late. When he
reached his residence the church clock
was Ginning 5. Heavy, weary, dis
gusted. he opened the front door with
some difficulty. and softly toiled up the
stairs. entering the bed chamber with
elaborate caution.
Thank goodness, she was asleep
He dropped into a chair, and. with
out taking off his coat or hat, began TO
remove his shoes. One he placed with
great care upon the floor, but, alasi as
he took off the other it slipped out of
his hand and fell with loud noise.
"Wifey" awoke on the instant.
She looked at him and then at the
summer sunlight that streamed
through the blinds.
why, George, what are you getting
up so early for?"
Talk about reprieves,
why, my dear" replied George,
with the clearest enunciation of which
he was capable, Il found l couldn't
sleep, so 1 thought I'd get up and go
out and take a walk
And ont the poor wretch went, drag
ging himself round YEARLY for an hour
upon the verge of tears and torpor.

the goldbug organ now expresses Itself
as follows:

Mr.. PETER represents a very large body
of voters-honest. intelligent and respon-
sible citizens-whO cut loose from the
Republican party and went over to the
Populists profoundly believing that they
were doing wise thing for themselves
and the country. They are rapidly dis
covering their error, and the natural
effect must be their ultimate return to
their old associations.

list" and statesman" depends upon

WON'T PLAY BURGLAR AGAIN.
An Indiana Man Whose Joke Proved
to Be Expensive

Down in Fountain County. Indiana,
there was an earthquake shock about a
week ago, and Mrs. John Welch of Cow
ington thought it was a burglar
She had just started from the parlor
into her darkened bedroom when she
heard a glass-and- silver perfumery flask
on her dresser jingle as If it had been hit
and almost tipped over. At the instant
her feet were tangled in the rug at the
Threshold. but she fed, frightened and
dizzy and called for help.
When her husband came he turned on
the light in the bedroom, and then felt
the second shock. He plainly saw the per-
fumery flask rocking. on the marble, and
having Travelled in Spanish America knew
what was wrong. From the heights of
his superior information he thought he
would have a little fun at his wife's ex-
pense. So he quickly flung scarf about
his head, by way of disguise, and ran
stopping low-from the room.
And his helpmeet, scared to blindness
and half dead with a nausea, yet rallied,
and hurled a spirit lamp at the fleeing fig
ure.
When Mr.. Welch had finished playing
the Joke, and his neighbors had put out
the fire, he bathed his burns with vaseine
and told the spectators they needn' t
laugh so hard He didn't make a fool of
himself except on the recurrence of earth
uuakes-which are rare in Indiana.
But the insurance adjusters refused to
allow his claims, either for fire or accident
