Senator Wolcott, in his speech
before the high five and those
who revolve about them, in Den>

when Mckinley went into Office he
found an empty treasury; that since
then he has carried on war which
cost S365 100000 and has issued
bonds for only S2oo,ooo,ooo there
for. Did it ever occur to Ed and
his dervishes that there has been
a war tax in operation for two years
past, and that like the brook it is
still going on. and is likely to go
on forever or until the republicans
get out of officer AS this tax has
raised double the cost Of the war

THE PLUTOCRATIC PARTY.

The four men elected delegates
to the republican national conven-
ton from Colorado were:
W. s. Stratton, millionaire miner.
David II. Moffat, millionaire banker.
ID. r. G. Brown, millionaire miner.
Edward o. Wolcott, millionalres' handy
man and corporation attorney.
The first three have taken no ac-
tive part in politics. 1t is doubtful
if Mr.. Stratton is better able to los
cate himself politically than Admi-
raj Dewey But all have vast
boards of wealth and that is what
the republican party is out after.
These selections plainly indicate
that colossal barrel will be in evi
dence at republican headquarters
in Colorado; also that poor man
will find himself as lonesome in the
republican party as prohibitionist
in Kentucky.

OH oRkNoA W AhS HSOk'iS' A-@SnAa'
Lillian Ferguson in the San
Francisco Examiner asks what is
to be done with the raven of the
human family? The ill omened
birds in the home nest, who croak
everlastingly into the ears of their
relatives and friends, and bring
nervous prostration upon the heads
OF their best beloved Perhaps you
haven't raven under your roof?
Then thank your lucky stars for
the great blessing. A raven in the
family is even more Of an affection
than black sheep. There is this
difference between them-the sheep
is burden that you learn
to bear by summoning all
your moral strength, while the
raven is like paper Of pins, from
which a sharp new pin is taken
daily for the tormenting Of your
flesh. The black sheep causes
sorrow. The raven causes bad
tempers. If it were not for the
ravens in human gaise perched for
biddingly above the door-and one
finds them in both mansions and
cottages-this world would be
far more pleasurable place in which
to live. But what is to be done
with them? One cannot wiring their
necks. And SO they go on croak>
ing, and making no end Of mischief.
They keep the divorce courts busy,
and they would tempt an angel to
deeds of violence from sheer des-
peration. A raven is person
whose spirits have the elasticity Of
lead and the lightness OF dough;
who has a mania for digging up
disagreeable, dead>and-gone affairs
of the past and Juggling them into
the present; who finds fault with
what is happening today. and per-
sists in looking for trouble to ar
rive tomorrow; who hangs with
bulldog tenacity to every bone of
contention, and never knows when
to let go; who is perpetual dis
turber of your spiritual peace; who
basks in the warmth of your own
brave cheerfulness, but gives you
no warmth in return; and who.
when you are cropping in cavern
Of dispair toward the light without,
tries to claw you back again.

Here is an essay on Hornets, I"
by boy who evidently knew a
good deal about his subject before
taking his pen in hand: A hornet
is the smartest bug that flies any
where. He comes when he pleases,
and goes when he gets ready. One
way a hornet shows his smartness
is by attending to his own business
and making everybody who inter>
feres with him wish they had done
the same thing. When a hornet
stings Teller he knows it. and
never stops talking about it as long
as his friends will listen to him.
One day hornet stung my pa
(my pa is preacher) on the nose,
and he did not do any pastoral vis>
itation for a month without talking
about that hornet: Another way a
hornet shows his smartness is by
not procrastinating. If he has any
business with you he will attend to
it at once, and then leave you to
think it over to yourself. He don't
do like the mosquito, who comes
fooling around for half an hour.

A Philosophical and Sensible
View.

The Claiborne Guardian-Jour-
nal gives expression to some phi
losophical and sensible remarks
which may be read with consola-
tion and profit by those who are
disposed to take a gloomy view Of
the results to follow the renewed
lease of power given by the peo-
pie of the country to the Republi-
can party.
1--WE can recall the time when
we thought that if q Democratic
president was not elected that the
country would 90 to the demoni-
tion bow-wows in short order. But
we have lived long enough to see
the Democrats defeated quite a
number of times, and, somehow OF
other, the country and govern
ment survived after some sort Of
fashion-the sun continued to rise
in the east and set in the west;
there were floods and drouths;
good years and bad years. A new
man handed out the mail at the
postofice, perhaps; and the new
men filled many of the other Off
ces, high and low; but otherwise,
the world rolled on a good deal as
it had rolled through the centu-
ries. Such an experience has
taught us to believe that it will
continue to roll on, whatever may
be the result of presidential or
other elections. It is reflection
upon the. basis principle of our
government to suppose that q ma
jority of the people, who are the
source of all authority, will so vote
as to endanger the continuance of
the government. When there is
real danger of such a thing. the
great Republic will indeed be in
jeopardy. Of course all this does
not mean that conditions would be
better if the right side (our side)
should win, but it also means that
they will not be intolerable-that
life will still be worth living
should we again be defeated, as
we have many times been defeated
in the past" q

To Keep Syrup from Fermen-

great obstacle in the manufacture
of syrup was its quick fermenta-
ton and how to overcome it He
says:
II started on a supposition ba-
sed on the fact that If we would
take out the impurities in the su-
gar it could not ferment. The
fact is, by what practical means
can we take out the Impurities in
the syrup. I have tried about
everything I have heard of to ex-
tract the Impurities. By an acci-
dent I discovered a very simple
thing that would do the work
the long, gray moss, the Spanish
moss. so-called. This is an abso-
lutte and positive prevention of
fermentation of syrup; and the way
is to I'll a barrel in your mill with
this dry moss, and allow the syrup
to run through it. 1t will produce
q syrup which will not ferment,
which cannot be made to ferment.
and which I challenge anybody
and any chemist in the world to
compel to ferment."

A TERRIBLE MONSTER

In the vicinity of Whitestone
Landing. New York, according to
that veracious newspaper, the
New York Sun, frightful aqua
tic animal recently made its ap-
pesrance and terrified the whole
of the countryside. It has been
seen, it is stated, by a dozen per-
sons. each of whom gave a horri-
flying description of the monsters
aspect. Combining their accounts,
the new animal is q bird, reptile
and fish, all in one, with a high
voltage of electricity to boot. A
13-year old boy describes it as a
dark object with eyes like two red
balls of fire which give off green
vapor. Its mouth is like that of a
catfish, the lips tricking blue
fame. 1t walks with a feline
tread and seems to have webbed
feet. As the boy. watched, too
fascinated to move, the creature
stood upon its hind feet. shot in
and out fiery tongue three times,
which in the fash of an eye, with
a great sizzling and whirring noise,
shot up in the air like a shyrocket
shrouded in a thin yellowish mist"
Two boatmen who saw. it swim
ming toward them thus report:
"A trail of purple FIRE and effer-
vescing sprays Of sparks marked
its progress. Two feet from the
bow of the boat it dived, where
upon q geyser flaming with blood
red PARTICLES shot up twenty feet
in the air" An elderly man,
much respected in the community,
saw it 60 up tree like squirrel.
As it climbed, little clusters of
sparks-snapping and cracking
shot off the end of its tail. A
young woman saw it turning hand
springs along the roadway and
three boys saw it running. walk
ing. crawling and flying.
This accords very we'll with the

On Tuesday of this week Admiral

birthplace ofthe late Admiral Farragut.
and delivered the first speech OF his
life.
Congregationalists OF California, Ari-
IONA, Nevada, Oregon and Washington
will hold a religious congress in San
Francisco from May "a to 20. 1t is
probably the first general congress of
Congregationalists ever called on this
coast.
An interesting fight has been pre-
cipitated between the Canadian Pacific,
Northern Pacific, and Great Northern
Railways which. in the event that the
Canadian Pacific loses, means that
the Canadian Pacific is to be entirely
shut out of Puget Sound cities. Later
reports show that the Canadian Pacific
has been victorious in the fight, and
will continue to compete for the Puget
Sound trade.
