The Omaha World Herald has on
its staff very clever writer of
fables, and he has the knack of
making them apply 1" political
affairs, as the following will show:

in the adjacent country. Realizing
that his aspect was repeiling. he
concluded to secure disguise.
CATER looking about for a time
Criminal Aggression made note of
the approach of Benevolent ASST
initiation
"' J:st the thing exclaimed
Criminal Aggression, Il will rob
Benevolent Assimilation of her
habiliments, and after donning them
myself I will be in position to do
things without fear
$50 saying, Criminal Aggression
swatted Benevolent Assimilation
over the caput and denuded her of
her robes. In due time Criminal
Aggression came down the pike
rugged out in the hab limenrs of
Benevolent Assimilation.
.But Criminal Aggression had
overlooked a wager. He had for
gotten to disguise Is ferocious teeth
and he still wore a SLOUGH hat and
staggered.
sThe result was that when the
| honest people saw him they imme
ditely performed their plain duty
aud ducked him in the sea of de-
served condemnation aud oblivion

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
l~rgest sale OF any medicine IN the
civilized world Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else tor Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitls, Nervous Prostration of
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of
Indigested food, regulate the &C
ti.'n of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
heada ches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's

make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

MIR. Dupre finds so bad has done
all this for the South though or

combined forces of Republicanism

Mr.. Dupre further says: 'sWith

is where Mr.. Dupre and his party
do not agree. The Democracy has
earnestly striven to take the negro
out Of politics SO that white men

suicide Of Jim Cummings.

Jim Cummings, mail clerk on the
V. & T., was arrested in Virginia City
Saturday afternoon on a charge OF
stealing two registered letters. One
containing $50 and the other s62.
Cummings was taken before Commits
sioner Witcher and waived a hearing.
He was held on both charges with
bail fixed at $1,000 in each case and
bonds were furnished. The Enter
prise says Cummings was firm in
proclaiming his innocence and declin-
ed the services Of an attorney. The
Enterprise seems to think the letters
were lost through carelessness and
says no one who knows Cummings
will believe he stole them.
When released Mr. Cummings went
to Virginia City where on Sundy even
ing last he committed suicide by TAX
ing a dose OF laudanum. He left a
note saying he was guilty OF nothing
but gross carelessness. He had been
inthe mail service for seventeen years,
and had borne a good reputation until
recently, but at the time he was arrest
ed there were a dozen or more charges
against him for tampering with the
mails.

SALT LAKE Cry, March 26.-It is
stated here that the real intent OF the
Lake cutoff OF the Southern Pacific is
to reach Salt Lake and here make con-
nection with the Burlington. II is
also stated al the intention of the
Southern Pacific to entirely ignore the
Union Pacific, the relations be-
tween the two daily becoming more
strained. In the determination to
bring about an Eastern connection at
Salt Lake, the Southern Pacific will
ignore Ogden. However, in losing the
Southern Pacific Ogden will gain the
Burlington. although the terminals OF
both lines will be here.

The Salt Lake Tribune says that
only for the wool tariff sheep would
be worth about S1.50 each, and wool
would be quoted at less than ne
half what it is now. This is the
rankest kind Of bslderdash. The
advance in the price of sheep and
wool is due to the increase In the
demand and not to the tariff. The
Tribune knows perfectly well that
during the past two years the United
States has been shipping vast num-
bers Of sheep to foreign countries.
the number shipped to England
alone last year being $4,000. Can
any stronger proof be needed to show
the utter foolishness of the claim
that the tariff on wool has brought
the present so-called prosperity to
the sheepmen of the West?
Instead of the United States need
ing to fear the importation of foreign
wool at this time, the Old World is
compelled to buy of us.
Sheepmen will have no difficulty
in remembering how, at the begin
ming Of the var with Spain, the price
of wool had dwindled so low that
the producers we're obliged to hold
their feeces for months. How eager
ly was the war new scanned then,
and how tenderly was the wool mar
ket nursed to catch the first signs OF
the increased demand caused by the
war. And yet the same tariff was in
effect then as now.
This prosperity" argument is
pure buncombe. and the persistency
with which it is being used as q
political argument is dishonest and
dishonorable.
AS applied to the sheep industry II
is a deliberate attempt to pull the
wool over the eyes of the people and
deceive them into giving credi,
where credit is not due.
