ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH.

Gets Strange Admission from IA Dyed-in-
the-Wool Democrat.
The other day, says the Louisville
Commercial, Eli Perkins was introduced
to Judge Scott, an old dyed-in-the wool
Kentucky Democrat. The Judge is well
known in the Blue Grass region, and
the grand old kentuckian has always
been looked up to as high priest Of
''befo' the wah Democracy
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that E was Democrat, too. and he be-
came confidential with him at once
''How are we Democrats getting along,
judge" asked Eli in confidential
tone.
The Judge looked at Eli moment to
see if he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked:
well, sir, we are getting on very well
financially, but politically we are run
ming behind: yes, I'm afraid we are run
ming behind"
''What causes this?" asked Eli
"Well, sir said the Judge sadly, Il
am afraid our party has not been al
together right. We have erred in some
things"
''Where have we erred, Judge?'
''Well, sir, hate to admit it, but our
er-Cleveland policy hurt us Ken
tuckians. | wouldn't say it to black
Republican, but we Democrats all ad-
init it among ourselves. You see,' said
the Judge, 1--WE used to get 30 cents for
wool, and big price for hemp and to
bacco before Grover came in. but that
Wilson bill hurt us. 1t knocked wool
down to II cents. Free jute put in to
help the cotton fellows. ruined ourhemp
and it rotted in the ground Then We
lowered the tariff on tobacco, and our
tobacco went down on us. We didn't
complain, but we Democrats did good
deal of thinking. Cattle and hogs got
out we We're pretty poor; yes, dog-on
hard up, sir.'
"a re they still bad-the times?" asked
NO, honestly, the times are good.
Wool and hemp and tobacco have doub-
led in price and are still going up. Cat
tie and hogs are high and our blue grass
farmers are getting rich
"Well, what is the matter, them"
''Why these good times have knocked
out our dear old Democratic party Our
Democratic farmers say they will never
vote for free trade or low tariff again"
''Well, what can we Democrats dO?"
asked Eli.
81 hate to admit il" said the Judge
sadly, ''but if we Democrats want to
win in Kentucky again we've got to keep
the tariff right where it is. That old
Wilson bill and Bryan's free silver will
be a scarecrow to every farmer in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. We've tried low
tariff and we know-I'm ashamed to
say so, but we know it hurt us. No,
sir the people are prosperous, but our
Democratic party is doing poorly. 1
wouldn't say it to a black Republican,
but that is the way we Democrats talk
among ourselves"
AS the Judge got off the train at Lex
ington he remarked: Eyes, and there
was another mistake we Democrats
made. Grover Cleveland wanted to
sink the Republic of Hawaii and put a
niger ON the throne. We Democrats
didn't complain, but it made us sick, for,

1 Plucked the Berry.

I've plucked the berry from the bush, the
brown nut from the tree,
But heart of happy little bird ne'er broken
1 saw them in their curious nests, close
crouching, slyly peer
With their wild eyes, like glittering beads,
to note if harm was near;
l passed them by, and blessed them all /; l
felt that, it was good
To leave unmoved the creatures small whose
home is in the wood.
And here, even now, above my head, a lusty
rogue doth sing.
He pecks his swelling breast and neck and
trims his little wing.
He will not fly; he knows full well, while
chirping on that spray,
l would not harm him for world, or inter
rupt his lay.
Sing on, sing on, blithe bird and fill my
heart with summer gladness,
1t has been aching many day with meas
ureS full of sadness.

The Flag.

Fling out the flag, @ children,
That all the world NAV see
How Graded deep in the heart of child,
The love of the flag may be;
The love of the flag with it's crimson bars,
And its field of blue with the spangled stars
Salute the flag, O children,
With grave and reverent hand,
For it means far more than the eye can see,
our home and your native land:
And men have died for its crimson bars.
And its field of blue with the spangled stars
Revere the flag. my children,
Wherever it's folds you see,
For Graded deep in the heart of a child,
The love of the flag may be;
The love of the flag with its crimson bars
And its field of blue with the spangled stars
Pray for the flag, my children,
That never a traitor bold
Defame bar or spangled star,
Or sully Il slken fold;
Then pray for the flag with its crimson bars,
And its field of blue with the spangled stars

All tariff collected at Porto Rican ports

This was a boon to those people, justi-
fed bv the circumstances, and unpar-
alleled for generosity toward any peo-
pie.
This Congress also passed the Free
Homes bill, giving free homesteads on
the public lands to actual bona fide set
tiers. This was measure pledged by
the platform of all parties.
An amendment to the pension act of
1890, known as the Grand Army bill,
has also become law.
A law of much Importance passed
during the session was that allowing
the free transportation in bond of all
goods shipped through the United States
| from foreign country to another for
eign country This will be OF great
benefit to the shipping interests OF the
country.
An antitrust law amendment to the
Sherman law of 1890, as effective and
far-reaching as the Constitution will
permit, has also passed the House of
Representatives
The appropriation bills have been
carefully scrutinized, and although the
| aggregate is large, they are free from
all questionable items. The growth of
the country and the continued disorder
in the Philippine Islands are solely &C
countable for the increase in these an
nual bills.
1t was not deemed practicable to re-
duce the revenues during the last SEES
sion, but, should the present rate of
surplus continue, the Committee on
Ways and Means, having obtained leave
to sit during the recess, will bring in a
bill and press it's passage at the begin
ming of the next session.

TIE WRATH TO COME.

Not satisfied with the present long
list of short comings and commissions,
there appears to be decided tendency
on the part of some Of our political
friends to add a little bit more to the
list to which they will surely answer.
It is needless, in n community of law
abiding people-a community of.wealth,
learning and distinction. to suggest
that there are not people. both in the
city and county, fit and proper to fill
honorably and properly every office of
honor or compensation.

one great port. at heart. 1t is the pride
OF every Norfolkian, wherever he may
be, to refer to his home by the sea.
1t is g sad reflection, therefore, that
so many good business men, of means,
reputation and standing, either do not
give the city government, and local af-
fairs, their attention, or are showed
aside to make place for professional
politicians.
The State Is ut the beck and call of
