would not agree to the amendment provid-
ing $4,000 a year for the minister's house
rent or for that making provision for an

therefore had yielded as to those two
amendments. The report was agreed to

water in question than he could drink
in its undiluted state. The very man
ner in which the high-ball is made for
bids the thought of gulping, while the
quantity of water used in making it
properly-is not large at all.
We have no idea of discussing with
the Phoenix Republican the physical
effects of the high-ball or any other
drink INDUCED by man. In that field
the Republican has been made superb
by experience. Where scientific per-
sons disagree so widely, and experience
confutes them all in turn, surely no
layman should venture to chip in.
What we do maintain is that the
high ball has properly no lemon or
lemon peel in it's constitution, and that
no man-not excepting the expert Of
our Phoenix contemporary-can bolt
it in one, two, or even three gu1ps. 1t
may be more injurious than hydraut

yet been traced to it, and that is some
thing to be considered by the un-
instructed, however little 1t may
weigh with the copious critic of the

Try Thas-Drop a Penny.

Have you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts even if it is only
single cent? The next time that YOU
see copper coin dropped in a street
car just observe. Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, ana there will be manifested
real general concern over its recOv-
cry. Two or three heads are likely
to come in contact over the point of its
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
appear unconcerned, but in another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there is a re-
newed interest among the passengers,
for the stage of finders keepers" has
arrived, and those near the spot of
disappearance become quite diligent
until they are aware they make CEN
ter of attraction. But interest in that
little coin is not lost While there is a
passenger left, and when the car is
empty the conductor takes his turn
and resurrects the cent.-NeW York

Making Them All One.

An elderly minister is fond of telling
of ''break" he once made at a>double
wedding of two sisters. 1t was ar
ranged that the two couples should be
married with one ceremony, the two
brides responding at the same time
and the two bridegrooms doing the
same. There had not been any pre-
vious rehearsal, as the minister had
come long distance and had reached
the church but a few minutes before
the time for the ceremony.
All went we'll until it came time for
the minister to say, And now l pro-
nounce you man and wife"
1t suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case of two men and two
wives, and he could not think of any
way of making man" and "wife"
plural in the sentence. In his despera-
ton and confusion he lifted his hands
and said solemnly:
"And now l pronounce you, one and
all, husband and wife,"

bers OF society?
Washington dispatches intimate that
the acquisition of the island is being
discussed tentatively" by the Presi-
dent and his advisers. The sinking of
Ia Haitian gunboat by the Germans a
few days ago has made the question
very much alive.
A similar proposition received prac-
teal consideration during the admin
istration of General Grant The sable
Hatians were within an ace of being
incorporated into Uncle Sans repub
lie. But the dose was too much for
the Senate. The majority of the mem
bers of that body didn't like the idea
of increasing the number of ebony
patriots under the stars and stripes
Now Europe has politely but firmly
notified us that as we have a protec-
torate over the Black Republic in vir-
tue of the Monroe doctrine, we must
keep the colored gentlemen of Hayti in
order. 1t is alleged that Uncle Sam
can not use his leather strap with
effect unless HE adopts the Haitians as
members of his family. That is a
dreadful alternative.
Wouldn't it be better to wink at a
little violation of "the doctrine" and
allow Europe, to chastise the patriots
cf the Black Republic when they make
a nuisance of themselves? Germany
did very neat and effective piece of
work few days ago when she sent
Admiral Killick and ship to the bot
tom of the ocean. What do we want

erals and admirals of this opera -bouffe
island? The Haitians are exagger-
ated picnic niggers.

able. The gang could not beat him
even in Republican primary in a
fair and open fight. Hence the di-
spicable scheme of putting Mr.. Cooper
on the track for Congress in order to
get him out of the contest for district
attorney. Mr.. Roscoe Dale and his
chief backer, Mayor Schumacher,
worked this scheme with great skin
and adroitness. 1t is not probable
that there was ever the slightest idea
of nominating Mr.. Cooper for Con-
gress. His declaration for that Office
was the work of a conspiracy to get
him out of Roscoe Dale's way for the
district attorneyship.
The friends of Mr. Cooper should
resent this sharp practice. He has
been cheated and humiliated, buncoed
and betrayed. But day of reckoning
will come. The people will have a

rived revenue of $1,500,000 annually.
Recognizing the fact that the great
trusts should contribute something to
the federal burden, and that the oil
trust and the sugar trust were alone
being taxed, the Democrats in Con-
gress wanted to perfect this tax by ex-
tending it to all industrial corpora
tions whose gross receipts exceeded
$1,000,Q00 annually. They sought to
compel publicity through public state
ments, under oath, as to the capital.
debt, operating expenses. receipts and
so forth, of these industrial corpora
tions, thus securing the publicity for
which Mr.. Roosevelt subsequently con-
tended in his message and in his Pitts
burg speech.
But the Republicans stood together
and repealed the tax altogether, 50
that these corporations contribute
nothing to the federal treasury. The
reason of their harmonious action in
repeating the war taxes was to prevent
a reduction of the tariff, which would
have been necessary if the taxes had
not been repealed.
