THE BELLICOSE RUMBLE BEE.
An Allegory That Seems Aimed at Re
 cent British Ways.

An Allegory That Seems Aimed at Re-
 cent British Ways.
 An industrious bumble-bee once amassed a large store of honey. And he said to his wife and family:
 we cannot eat all this honey while it is good. l shall lend some of it on easy terms to those poor, hard-up dev- ils, the wasp and the wild dr0ne."
 "Ah! What benevolent old Rumble it isl" cried simply Mrs. B., while all the little B. .'s buzzed approvingly.
 At this Papa Rumble did his best to look virtuous, although, in truth noth- ing was farther from his thoughts than gratutious benevolence. Accordingly off he flew to the wasp and the wild drone. And they, being ''cobwebby''- or as mankind would say stony broke'- tumbed to his obliging offer, and agreed to take as much honey as he would lend at a handsome weekly tribute of pollen for the accommodation.
 Now, this increased the Bumble- Bees wealth, so that he soon became a mil

the others had retired and then accost- ed the debtor: of course, I promised with the rest to extend the time, but you are going to make me a preferred creditor, are you not? Yes, replied the debtor, I'll make you 8 preferred creditor. I'll tell you now that you are not going to get anything; the rest wont find it out for year
 MT Cleveland's nomination would have this advantage over the nomtna- tion of any other reorganizer; he would make the democrats preferred creditors and tell them that they would not be benefited by his administration.
 MT. Cleyeland's speech should be read in full. It answers a useful pur- pose; it outlines the plan of campaign decided upon by the plutocratic ele- ments, for which the reorganizers stand. Tariff reform is to be made the chief issue, and the men Who voted for Me Kinley, the high priest of protection, are to carry on a sham battle with their companions of 1896, while the financiers make the dollar redeemable in gold and fasten upon the country an asset currency and branch bank sys- tenn. Trusts are to be denounced in sonorous terms, while the campaign managers mortgage the party to the trust magnates in return for campaign funds Sometimes imperialism will be denounced as in MT. Hopkins Illinois campaign sometimes ignored as in MT. Cleveland's speech, but whether de- nounced or ignored, the secret and sl- lent power that can compel submission to the democrats of the financiers ana to the democrats of the trust magnates can compel submission to the democrats of the expoiters and the representatives of m4litarism.
 "The fight is on between democracy that means democracy. and a CleVe- landism which means plutocracy' EV- cry speech made by MT Cleveland shows more clearly the odiousness or the policies for which he stands. We have more to fear from those who, like MT. Hill, indorse MT Cleveland's views but conceal their real purpose in ann biguous language"

THEIR PET BURGLAR.

People of a Slow Alabama Town Liked
 Him for Relieving Their Ennui.
 Speaking of burglars reminds me of rather curious condition which pre- vailed in a small Alabama town few years ago, and may prevail now for all that I know said a man who just droped in. T have seen a great many pets in my life, pet dogs, pet cats, pet birds of various kinds, pet monkeys, pets among the fowls of the air and the beasts of the forest, pets among every living thing that creepeth upon the earth. but the Alabama town I have in mind Is the only place I ever saw or heard of where a burglar became a pet.
 Yes sir, there was burglar in the town and he had actually become a public pet The men of the town ac- tually got so they would feel sllghted if the pet burglar didn't come around oc- casionally and burglarize their houses They wanted their houses to be robbed at night He sorted educated the resi- dents up to the idea that it was a good thing for ones house to be burglarized occasionally. You see, the place was aWfully dull, and there was not much to talk about at best. To have ones house burglarized by real bold, bad man, who would saw away on the shut ters at night; to be visited by real live burglar would at least give one something to talk about and would stir the community up little. It would shake off the dull spell. Every fellow seemed to want 1t to happen to him. Most remarkable thing l ever saw. Ev- erybody knew, of course who was doing the work, But nobody wanted to inter- fere with the fellow. The only thing the residents exacted of him was that he break into their houses by pryng a lock off or saving blind or in some other way, and that he take something with him when he left.
 After the fellow had been operating for some time he finally concluded that he would break into dry goods store for a change. He carried out the reso- lution. The store was run by promn- ent Jew merchant of the place. The burglar made good haul, The next day the merchant was telling friend about the call the pet burglar had paid him and was fretting a little because of the burglars extravaganza in helping himself to his goods The friend re- minded the merchant that he knew who the man was who had broken into his

lionaire. But, alas! Prosperity spoiled him, and too much good living render ed him idle, arrogant and pugnacious. From busy bee he deteriorated into a bragging, blusterng, crawling Bee, al- ways picking quarrelS with his neigh bors and his store of honey was dissi- pated faster than it had been acquired. Indeed, in no long time his wife and family began to feel the pinch of want.
 While they were in this state, Papa Rumble being absent at the time on a hlibustering expedition against the blue bottles, the hive-bee seized the opportunity to look them up, and in duced them to accept loan of honey from him on much the same terms as our benevolent humble had required of the wasp and the wild drone.
 But when the clustering old warrior came home he tonce smelt the for eign honey in his nest, and demanded of his wife whence it came.
 Our cousin, the hive-bee, lent me the honey in the most obiging man. ner,' said Mrs. Rumble.
 What" cried Papa Rumble, the orange on his tail suddenly turning a pale lemon. You have been and got me into debt with that artful hive bee?"
 T had eithe rto borrow or to starve," answered Mrs. Rumble.
 '"I wouldn't have had it happen for exclaimed Papa Rumble, in a terrible fluster. "I decline to have any honey but my own in my nest
 If that is so," retorted Mrs. Rumble, you must cease braWling and dissipat- ing and return to your former indus- trious ways. Your children and I do not see the fun of starving. Of course, we had rather live on your honey. But if you waste it all and leave us destj- tute, we are simply forced to seek our food elsewhere

eral way. perhaps, they are friendly tc
 Cuba, but their friendship is thing
 wholly apart from business. Trade is
 pitiless.
 What are the European statesmen to
 infer from the American attitude to-
 ward Cuba? They see the greatest
 commercial and industrial nation in the
 world prospering, despite its policy of
 trade exclusiveness. Will they con-
 clude that American prosperity is the result of this exclusiveness, and not of our vastly superior resources and equipment? Will they seek to revive their own trade and industry by adapt ing American tariff methods? The United States now sells it's surplus pro- ducts to foreign consumers to the ex- tent of nearly fifteen hundred million dollars year. Will Europe appropri- ate our home market" idea and insist on Europeans spending their money as far as possible with their own manu- lecturers and producers? How would American farmers and captains of in- dustry like this kind of economic diplo- macy? They would, of course, prefer for the European diplomatists to ignore trade matters entirely and to devote their attention to international alli- ances and high politics" But the most important subject of world poli- tics to-day Is commercial and indus trial expansion. Europe must consider that subject as aggressively and persis- tently as the United States is consider ing it. Europeans must hold their own in the old world and share the foreign field with Americans Shall they act on the assumption that there is no sen timent in trade; that business is abso- lutely heartless and selfish Is that what our high tariff and combinations of capital and industry will lead to If it is, the peace of the world will not long remain unimperiled. The new di- plomacy of economics will prove quite as dangerous as the diplomacy which formerly concerned itself almost solely with international alliances and terri torial ggrandzement-Ba Sun.

. that the re-organizers do not want har- mony, but control and that their con- trol means the abandonment of the party's position and a return to the policies and practices of MT Cleveland's S second term"
 He continued: He (Cleveland) se- cured the nomination in 1892 by a secret bargain with the financiers; his com mittee collected from the corporations and spent the largest campaign fund the party ever had; he filled his cabinet with corporation agents and placed railroad attorneys on the United States bench, to look after the interests of their former clients He turned the treasury over to a Wall street syndicate and the financial members of his ofi1- cial family went from Washington to become the private attorney of the man, who forced CD the treasury department to sell him government bonds at 105 and then re-sold them a 117 He tried to prevent the adoption of the income tax provision, refused to sign the only tar if reform measure passed since the war and while laundering against the trusts in his message, did even less than IA high handed methods. ....
 His administration, instead of being a fountain of democracy, sending forth pure and refreshing streams, became stagnant pool from whose waters foul vapors arose-poisonous to those who fingered near.
 Having debauched his party he was offended by it's efforts to reform and gave comfort to the enemy. Virginius killed his daughter to save her chasity; Cleveland stabbed his party to prevent its return to the paths of virtue.
 "And now, still gloatng over his po- litical crimes, he invites the party to re- turn to him and apologize for the con tempt which it has expressed for him. Will it? Not until the principles of Jefferson are forgotten and the works of Jackson cease to inspire.
 If we are to have reorganization, Cleveland himself should accept the presidential nomination. It would be due; his reinstat ement would be poetic justice to him and retribution to those whose democratic conscience revolted against his un-democratic conduct. Of course, he would get no democratic votes but being closer to plutocracy than any republican likely to be nomi- mated he might divide the enemy and even democrats would have W!:at little consolation would come from receiving their disappointment in advance

BITTER DEBATE IN HOUSE
Continued from First Page.)

''Do not the official figures show" in- terrupted MT. Richardson, the demo- cratic lead, that greater percentage of confederate prisoners died in north ern prisons than union prisoners in southern prisons?"
 ''I have the official figures here" re- sponded MT. Mahon. T will put them in the record" He read an order to shoot the prisoners at Andersonville if the union army got within seven miles of the prison.
 If the north was justly indignant over the atrocities at Andersonville," interrupted MT. Neville of Nebraska, "why should not the American people now be indignant over the brutalities in the Philippines? Why parade the civil war horrors as an excuse?"
 If the administration was directly responsible for the atrocities alleged to have been committed in the Philippines the republican party should be swept out os power"
 While the union prisoners were suf- fering at Andersonville," interposed MT. Richardson, did not the confederate government have a standing offer to ex- change those prisoners officer for officer and man for man And was not this proposition rejected?"
 "Yes. But the men in Andersonville were broken, emaciated, many of them maniacs. The north refused to ex- change able bodied men for men who could not perform military servec," re- piled MT. Mahon.
 'T ask again." interrupted MT. Rich ardson, did not more confederate pris- oners die in union prisons than union prisoners in southern prisons?"
 T deny it, and will put the reports in the record.'
 Tt is true, and can prove it," assert ed MT. Richardson

AFLoAT IN PUNCH LAKE.
A Midshipmate Rowed Around Ladling

A Midshipmate Rowed Around Ladling
 Out the Stuff.
 Contrary to general belief punch and the punch bowl are not institutions of Anglo Saxon or even of European ori- gin. The arak of Indian origin preceded the invention of punch. It was a sacred beverage, sometimes served with the addition of four other ingredients-fruit juice, water, sugar and nutmeg. Five was sacred number to the worshippers of a Brahma. The Dutch were much addicted to beverage called "boule- ponge" a semi-Hindu, semi European preparation, the strength of which fre- quently proved fatal to drinkers; in the eighteenth century brandy and eau de vie were substituted for arak In Furstieres dictionary compiled in the end of the seventeenth century and published in 17O1, "boule" or "bonne ponge'' is given as an English drink, the recipe being one pint of brandy, one of lemon juice, nutmeg, toasted biscuits, all thoroughly pounded and we'll mixed together. It was also much in vogue in Russia, where, according to Voltaire Peter III died from drinking too much of it in 1762.
 Before that date, in 1894 Admiral Russell of the British navy, gave a feast to the English fleet then on the coast of Spain at which the punch bowl was the principal feature, and has be- come historic. A marble basin, erected in lemon tree grove, was the vessel in which it was served; six hundred bottles of brandy and of rum respectively, twelve hundred bottles of Malaga, four hundred liters of boiling water, six hun dred pounds of best sugar, two hundred pounded nutmegs and the juice of twen- ty-six hundred lemons were used for the occasion. The youngest and daintiest middy of the fleet rowed on this strange lake in tiny mahogany skiff, then padding to the edge, he ladled out the beverage to over six hundred guests who were present at the feast on three tiers of seats arranged as an amphithe- ater. The discrepancy between the quantity of water used as compared with the wine and spirit is somewhat significant, yet not drop of the bever- age went begging that day.-Chicago News.

 store and robbed him of his property, and asked him why he didn't have the fellow arrested. He shrugged his shoul- ders and looked wise, After few sec- onds he broke the silence by saying;
 What. Have him arrested? Why, man. l would lose the best customers I've got in the community if I had that fellow arrested for breaking into my house. He's pet, and it would ruin my business
 And the merchant was right about 1t, for the fellow was a pet. I guess this town is the only place on earth containing such pet, and the inhabi- tants are certainly the only people ever heard of who like to have their houses burglarized just for the excite ment of the hing.
