Solicitor General Richards made an open slur at ex-President Harrison, in his argument before the supreme court this week on the cases involving the constitutionality of MT McK1nley's col onial policy, that disgusted many per sons. MT Harrison is a private citi- zen who has held the highest position within the gift of the American people, and is entitled to respect, and It cer tainly was not respectful for MT Rich ards to refer to AIr Harrison's recent ly expressed opinion in opposition to the Mckinley policy in such language as "a distinguished lawyer and states man affects to believe etc. It was Il gratuitous insult to hIr Harrison, which shows how resentful the McI<in leyites are towarI members of their own party who dare to oppose their im- perial policy. It is not probable that Mr Richards acted without the approv- al of his superiors in office. Attorney General Griggs and Mir Mckinley.

In speaking of the present unsettled condition of the stock market, Henry Clews. in his weekly letter, says that present conditions are so unusual that ordinary judgment cannot be applied. A wave of optimism is sweeping tue whole country, and this has an effect upon values which is real, but cannot be measured. Some day intrinsic merit will again be considered, but just now almost. any statement ill re- gard to deals or dividend prospects meets with belief without much ques tion:, At the same time it. can hardly be saf.l that speculation has gone to dangerous excesses. The outside in- terest has E1ade money and is in strong poosition. The big men may have parted with q. portion of their holdings but, If so, it las been of the poorer classes of securities. Better grade dividend paying stocks of tried merit are being permanently wlth- drawn from the market. and this fact, together, with the large amounts Of money seeking profitable investment, has much to do with the present rise in values. The market, however, pre- ! sents unusual risks on both sides. The scarcity of stocks and prevalent bull ishness render short sales particularly dangerous, while unexpected develop ments of an unfavorable nature might easily precipitate wholesale taking or profits. At this writing the indications are that the market will go higher be- fore any decided check will be in cured, but buying must be conducted with increasing caution and careful discrimination against runaors about the low priceu stocks The taking hold of these uspally marks the be- ginning of the end of 2 bull campaign. and this one, ''reoprd-breakins as 1t IS, will be no exception tQ the rule. e."a

girl generally tore it apart and helped me on with it. She had long finger nails, and in buttoning the collar she invariably got hold of fold of my skin and tried to push it through the but tonhole.
 Then they sent me out to Sunday school, choking and sore, and expected me to get benefited by it. I can re- member how I had to sit there without being able to move my head independ- ently of the rest of me for fear of cut ting into the jugular vein and messing the cocoa mating, and how hated to give up my penny for the heathen. It wasn't that I grudged the money, for was always a free-hearted boy, bull thought of what might be helping to bring the heather to. I pictured him, care-free and happy. in an unstarched hreech clout and with no lesson leaf1et to study in the afternoon, and l longed to be in his benighted condition, much as loved my dear teacher.
 T know that my perhaps morbid sem sitiveness in regard to shirts was occa- stoned in the first place by the shirt of my youth. I own that my condition is morbid. I have got so that size up a man, to a great extent, by <he shirt that he wears, even with the knowledge that myself am occasionally open to criticism of the hardest kind." ,

 Naturally. but there are mighty few of your kind around. But I guess you've made mistake about my shirt There's no purple about it, and no stripes. I should call it black and white check"

Representative Otey, of Virginia, amused the house and at the same time told some plain truths concerning the objects aimed at by the Oldsted and Shattnck resolutions for investigations of the suppression of suffrage in the south He said: 'The logical end of all such agitations is negro domination in the south. It means the reinstal- lation of carpet Bagger agents of the demon of darkness and corruption. It means the coming of a buZZard glut- toned with carrion. It means the de scendants of those who thirtyfve years ago, fastened their talons in the prostrate body of the south, like those pitiless birds who fed upon the vitals of Prometheus when his helpless form was chained to a rock. Yes, it means the return of those buzZards, gluttoned with carrion that are to-day following the calling of their diabolical daddies in Cuba, the Philippine islands, and in Porto Rico, who exude such an odor that mosquito shuns them. Yes, they are so mean that the yellow fever germs die in their presence. They are so loathsome that the smallpox mi crobes fly from them. and if a snake bite one of them it kills the snake. As for the Shattuck resolution, it seems that neither that nor the Olmsted res olution will pass. They will not pass until the fshworm swallows the whale. not until the snail outruns the, hare,
 not until Dutchmen stop drinking beer aud not until the billy goat butts from the rear" r

If Governor Mclean will follow up his recommendations on the divorce law question by having more stringent laws enacted, he will gain the good will of the people of the state who be- Heva in good morals and the sacred ness Of the marriage tie. The court news nowadays Is full of divorce news. Hartford had five eases yes terday, New Haven had several, and so it goes. Pretty soon Connecticut will be known as the divorce state.

sional elections Ut next year, and
regardless OF its fervid pleas for
Cuban pendence in 1893, will
probably attempt to- make political
capital out OF the situationt The
Republican policy has been to crafty
the Caban dAma1j for ia l,pauisnce
as soon as stable government could
bs secured auI tried, which, il sue
cesstul from our point of view,
would lead to the pegotistion Of
trade relations with the government.
ut ia expected that the Democrats
will first demand absolute free trade
with Cuba, and, seoondiy, anpexa-
ton. But their strength is liable to
split on both propositions, as it did
on the Porto Rico bill, while ths
Rebuilt cans will be found solidly
nrrayed against both demands. The
Louisiana delegation is wholly Dem
acrat and it's attitude is we'll known
Its senators and represent
atives are already preparing to
resist every movement made by
any party having for its object
ei;hsr ftee trade for or annexation
with Cuba. The reason, OF course,
lies in the interests OF competing
productions. All of the sugar
producing interests Of the United
States, whether beat or cane, as
we'll as the growers OF citrus iruits,
will be up 10 arms over each propo-
sition, and the result is liable to be
that Cuba will get neither Tree trade
nor annexation, sunless she gives
evidence OF abandoning independ.
ence aud throwing herself upon the
protection Of some European power,
in which case he will force herself
into our arms.
ut has long been conceded that
the future of Cuba must be either
an European protectorate, an inde-
pendent republic, or member OF
the American sisterhood. The first
we can not permit. The second is
of doubtful possibility, and if it fails
there remains only the fual solu-
tion-that OF annexation. Recipro-
city we might concede, il the coudi-
tions were suitable, but free trade is
out OF question, and too sweeping
change in our economic principles.
Efforts for free trade with Cuba, al,
though doomed to failure FROM the
start, are liable to dampen the ardor
of the friends OF reciprocity, who
are having too much trouble with
the treaties already prepared. AS
annexation also means free trade of
even.a more permanent varsity, the
efforts toward either will have a
neutralizing effect on the work for
reciprocity 10 general. AS an inde-
| pendent state, Cuba has hard row
10 hoe. We have kept faith with
the island, but in such way that
she is virtually an American protec.
torate. No one knows whether she
can m AXE treaties, or who is to Le
reaponsible for the safeguarding of
| foreign interests there. In trade
matters she is equally unfortunate.
Concessions to her sugar will be
fought by many Of our States. If
she favors the importation OF South
American cattle, Texas csttle-men
will have something to say. Con.
uecticut, Virginia, and Florida, with
other States, will keep an eye on her
tobacco trade. III she fails at self
government, the bstter it will be for
her, but not for American pro-
ducers."
