swallowing Abilities of Snakes.

The jaws of the chicken snake, says
q Texan, are hung on hinges that can
be taken apart or displaced for the
time being, as the case may be, and an
entire Texas cottontail rabbit can be
persuaded to enter, head and all, with
little effort, and the body, being made
of india rubberlike material and very
stretchable, the kicking little animal
soon finds a Judgment in the stomach.
His snakeship then carefully resets
his jaws so that his mouth assumes
its normal size and blissfully reposes
for the succeeding six hours. The
powerful gastric juice does the bal
ance, and no Texan can testify that he
ever heard chicken snake suffering
from indigestion or chronic dyspepsia.
The capture and digestion of chickens,
song birds. turkey eggs and rats con-
stitute simple pastime to the chicken
snake and do not call for a six hour
layoff in feeding time.

Carson Letter.

EDIToR COURIER: The passage of
the Cuban tariff reduction bill on sugar,
which now seems assured, will be the
entering wedge that must eventually
split the high protective tariff fetch
wide open. 1t must likewise split the
Republican party. The petted, pro-
tected barons, in fusion with office
holders and Office seekers, and with
the unrestricted use of money, have
been able to maintain the party in
power ever since 1872, with the exeep-
ton of two terms of Grover Cleveland
and he was no better. But listen to
the cracking of the log, as the Demo-
cratic party hammers with the sledge
on the head of the wedge, listen to the
believing calf as it is being pulled
away from the teat it has been sucking
ali these years. The old fight of pro-
lection and fair trade is on, and there
will be no let up until all class legisla-
ton for the benefit of the few is wiped
from the statute books.
President Roosevelt, whose natural

dent Benjamin Harrison is the only
President who delivered many speeches,
and never committed a blunder.
Mr.. Hanna can safely rely on the fact
that such performance is entirely too
much to expect ola man whose natural
gait Is running away
The beef trust attracted the imme-
date attention of the Republican adj
ministration. The steel trust, and
money trust, and all manner of rail
road and transportation combinations,
and all manner of manufacturing trusts,
have been fourishing for years, and
failed to excite our Republican friends,
but the moment combination is
formed to raise the price of the farmers
products, all the machinery of govern
ment is Immediately set in motion to
squelch it. The farmer is made to pay
three prices for everything he gets, and
he is made the victim of all manner
of combinations, and the formation of
any combination that would likely
help him seems to be "ferninst' the
law. He must be the sucker that the
Republican party is after.

The money schemers who have ham,
mered away until they have knocked
the price of silver down TO so cents an
ounce, are not yet satisfied. They
want dear money, and they want to
make it scarce to the end that their
boarded wealth will have greater pur-
chasing power. Their instrument to
accomplish this purpose is the Repub-
lean party. 1t is the dear money party,
and it makes no difference whether
the silver question is in or out of com
mission this year. The same question
and the same principles are strictly
before the people yet. The money
lenders and bondholders had confident
ly expected to accomplish their object
of doubling the value of their gold dol
lars by knocking out the silver dollar,
but the unexpected and unprecedented
production of gold, which followed,
baffled them, and now their object is to
restrict the production of gold as much
rs they can, and If found necessary
they win doubtlessly attempt to regu.
late it's mintage and limit it, as they
did the silver dollar. For these rea-
sons, claim that Nevada has as much
interest in the money question as il
sver had. Anyway, no reason can be
advanced why we should kiss the hand
that has been swatting us so umerci
fully. QUELQUEFoIs.
