Let Teller Go.

Minneapolis Tribune: There is
hope that the country will be rid at
last Of Senator Teller, of Colorado.
This man has been many kinds Of
a nuisance for more years than any
other sentimental obstructionist OF
his character and abilities. Because
of his intellectual power and undoubt-
ed sincerity, he was the most danger
Gus Of all the senatorial attorneys
Of the silver mine wonders in the long
drawn out cheap money crusade.
He was far more serviceable to the
silver interest than the hired adj
vocates it sent to the senate from the
other mining states, most Of whom
abandoned their alleged principles
and came back into the republican
party when the jig IA up. Teller
had the courage Of his convictions
and became a democrat. He did not
close his power Of mischief with
settlement of the money question.
Four years ago he carried the senate
off it's feet into an act of sentimental
folly whose consequences have been
momentous. He is responsible for
the adoption of the joint resolution
which now ties our hands in practical
and beneficent dealing with Cuba.
The senate will breathe more freely
when he is out Of it.

Bulldog kin.ct Thun Child.


An incident related by George Eliot
proves that Kindness and devotion are
characteristic of the bulldog breed.
The distinguished author was on a Wis
1t to the hUus1 uf y friend where a
bulldog and a child. each of the age Of
six, We're among the household posses
sions. During dessert after dinner,
while all were absorbed in conversa-
ton, they We're startled by a loud howl
of pain from the dog, evidently pro-
ceeding from under the table. An in
vestigation Immediately made discov-
cred that the child, equipped with a
pair of scissors. was under the table
also and trying to cut the dogs ears
with them. From one ear of the bull
the blood was running, and yet the
dog was making not the slightest ef-
fort to escape or defend himself. The
host and father, outraged by the evil
dence Of such cruelty on the part Of
the child, determined on immediate
punishment. But when he undertook
to carry the punishment into effect the
dog interfered, pushing himself be-
tween the master and the child and
licking the face Of the latter.
