CALL is ISSUED
BY Mecmtaln For Meeting Of Chiefs
at EufauIa.

Governor Green McCurlain, Of
the ChoctaW nation, has issued q
call for a meeting Of the chiefs Of
the Eve civilized tribes at Euiaula
on the 2Slh Of this month.
In taking up Pleasant Porter's
failure McCurlain is leading 4 for.
lorn hope. The Creek chief is said
10 aspire 10 the goVernorship OF a
separate state 10 be formed out Of
the Indlan Territory. For evident
reasons, even though a separate
state were made, Porter would
never be governor.

No tariff is perfect, even for the
time at which it is framed. Every
tariff act, like legislation of any
other sorts, is a compromise among
diverse interests. 1t satisfies no one
entirely, and it grows, in spots, less
and less satisfactory as time alters
conditions. But there is always a
chance that when any revision at all
of a tariff is attempted, the whole sys-
tenn is taken up for discussion. In
every instance when tariff changes
have been started the changes have
affected more articles than the chang
es intended at the outset. One of the
consequences of this tinkering has
been that men in nearly all sorts of
industries have been made uncertain
regarding the outlook, and as a con-
sequence enterprise is blighted for the
time.
The Republican party has a special
incentive to be careful about tariff tin
kering at the present time. An cleo
ton for Congress will take place some
months hence, and congressional cleo
tions which come at the middle of a
presidential term are apt to hamper
the party in power in the presidency.
The Republicans, of course. went
through the congressional canvass Of
1898, in the middle of President Nc

Unique Method of Propulsion OF tins

Unique Method of Propulsion OF tins
Mississippi River.
Captain Thomas Bixby. under whom
Samuel l.. Clemens-Mark Twain
served as pilot and engineer on the
old Mississippi river boat Swallow.
has given In a New Orleans paper the
following description OF the engine OF
the Swallow:
"The craft was a little. shaky az
fair, which piled between st. Louis
and Cairo. 1t had a stern wheel. a
place for freight and passengers. a
pilot house and a place on what may
be called the pilot deck for the en-
CINE.
THAT engine went aboard when 1t
was needed. and only then. 1t burned
no wood or coal, but ate a powerful
sight Of grass. 1t vas a large gray
mule named Jerry. which worked a
treadmill that propelled the boat.
Samuel Clemens was chief engineer
and pilot.
He had a system OF signals which
was effective and ingenious. By pull
ing a cord he could raise a head Of
cabbage just out of reach OF the mule.
The engine would start and begin
to walk after it, and the boat floated
majestically down or up the river, as
the case might be.
Without desiring to be personal, |
will say that Jerry was one of the
most intelligent animals | ever met.
His voice was more on the order Of a
fog horn than a whistle, being too
much of a barytone for the latter.
When Samuel wanted to whistle for a
landing he just hit Jerry with a stick"

Not So Strange.

The Providence Journal thinks it
strange that the promoters of the beet
sugar industry should have been able
to hold up legislation for Cuban relief.
Does the Journal forget that the
domestic producers held a specific
pledge from the Republican party
that their industry shall be Protected?
Is it so strange that they should ask
the honorable fulfllment of this pledge,
and that a considerable number Of
loyal and consistent Protectionists in
Congress should do all in their power
to prevent the violation of this pledge?
The strange thing about it is that there
should be a single Republican mem
Der of Congress claiming to be a Pro-
t~ectionist in favor Of withholding from
the domestic growers their just and
lawful right to the same measure Of
Protection that is granted to other do
nestle producers.

Naturally, Charlie Stuart was justi-
fed in believing the girl to be the child
of some Flemish citizen. True, she
was not dressed in the usual Dutch
fashion, but her golden tresses and
blue eyes, that shone like twin stars,
made him take the fact for granted.
He was, therefore, considerably sur
prised when, springing to her feet, she
advanced a step or two toward them,
holding out her hands, a look of great
joy Illuminating her face, and in a
voice which the echoes of her recent
sobs still haunted, addressed them in
purest English:
"Oh, sirs! Heaven has heard my
prayer and sent you to my rescued"
Stuart made up his mind then and
there, strange as such a proceeding
might be, that there was a deeper mys-
terry about the presence of this young
girl in these terrifying surroundings
than had at first occurred to him.
Many things united to make him be-
lieve this-the fact of her not being
missed by her party, her III in

who should be so anxious-yes, then
and there he became convinced that a
story lay back of it as startling as any
product of an opium smokers dream.
Charlie knew it would be well for him
to divert the girls mind as much as
possible from the horrors she had so
recently been forced to face. Thus as
they walked along, he even grew
somewhat merry, and his object was
accomplished, since the girls temper
airy trembling fit had passed away and
she was now calm enough to ask ques-
lions regarding their opportune pres
nee in the dismal place.
Several times Charlie knew she was
looking at him intently.
He believed that he could guess the
~reason-that she had a story to tell, Il
story far out of the ordinary run, and
was studying him when she thought
herself unobserved, studying him to
determine whether she dared entrust
him with it's astonishing details.

Congressman Babcock authorizes the
statement that he has changed his
attitude on the question of the con-
tinued Protection of the domestic SUI
gar industry, and is now prepared to
join the knitting that industry by a
reduction of 20 per cent of the Tariff
on Cuban sugar. For a time the Wis
consin Tariff Ripper stood with the
Protectionists in opposing this sur
render to Free-Trade and Sugar Trust
pressure. He has been made to see the
error of his ways and get in line. If
anything could add to the dignity and
the consistency of the attitude of the
anti-surrender wing, Babcock's defee-
ton has done it. He could well be
spared.

WouId-Be Joker Who went Up against

It is related that DR.. James Wise Of
CovingtOn, KY, is the victim of one
of his own jokes, and that he is in
half-mourning on account of it. From
all the evidence that can be produced
it appears that some time ago the doc
tor went up against an old game.
One of his friends met him and.
producing a pencil, said: Doctor.
see this pencil? l a make 1t write
any color l want to-"
Lets see you make it write indigo
blue"
The owner of the pencil promptly
sat down and wrote indigo
blue"
Then the doctor tumbled and said.
That's pretty good. I'll just go down
the street and try that on Theodore
Hallam."
Down the street he went, looking
for Mr.. Hallam. He finally foSnd
him and, producing the pencil, said:
Theodore, here's a pencil that car
write any color l want to with"
Then the doctor gathered himself
for a good laugh.
Let's see you write ecru," said Mr..
Hallam.
The doctor smiled, picked up a piece
OF paper and started to work, and for
ten consecutive seconds said nothing.
Then he said swear words, and added:

Jury.
While waiting for the verdict in the
Patrick case a few days ago somebody
remarked to Mr.. Van Diver of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office, that he thought
the jury would acquit the lawyer who
had c%onspired with William Marsh
Rice's valet to gain possession of the
Texas millionaire's fortune. Mr.. Van
Diver, who had followed the case close
ly for several months, doubted this,
but added refectively:
"Of course, nothing is more uncer-
tain than the action of a jury. l re-
member a story my father told me
when l was a boy in Alabama. The
story was of His Satanic Majesty and
a plain citizen who met n day on a
narrow pathway cut in the edge of a
cliff. On side there yawned a preci-
pice. On the other side was the solid
rock. There was only room for one to
pass, and of these two, one must lie
down and let the other walk over him.
