and that is that he was facing
defeat because he refused to

The withdrawal OF Speaker
Henderson from the rice for
congress is a most extraordi
nary occurrence. The reason
he gives ia that his republi
can constituents are in fa vor
ot the removal Of the tariff
from trust made products
and he is opposed tn it. No
doubt he is right in his dag
nosis of the case, an6 though
he had a plurality of over
eleven thousand to fall back
on he is wise to withdraw.
The truth is,that the rear
ton against class legisla ton,
is setting in, and there is a
constantly growing protest
in the republican ranks q
gainst taxing the many for
the benefit Of lhe few. How
far it may reach in this elec

seeks light on the question
Of what he shall say on his

that is about the last charge

the trust issue, nor treat it
in a form different from that

THE LOTTERY INIQUITY.
Survives in Spite of All Efforts OF
Civil Authorities to stamp
1t Out.

The Louisiana lottery, the biggest OF
the lot, was driven out of New Orleans
and out of the United States after
years Of attack by the postal authori-
ties and the press. But the lottery evil
is still with us, says the Atlanta Jour
nal. Savannah is the lottery center of
Georgia. 1t is said that several men
have made fortunes by dealing in lot
terry tickets. There is hardly a city of
considerable size in the United States
where lottery tickets may not be pur-
chased.
Mexico has a large number and va
riety of lotteries which are literally
patronized in this country. Canada
also supplies lottery tickets in great
numbers TO dealers in the United
States and to individual purchasers.
France, Germany and several other
European countries help to satisfy the
craving OF our citizens who consider
the lottery n quick and sure way to
fortune. All classes Of people supply
the patrons who enrich the lotteries.
Many persons Of wealth buy lottery
tickets regularly. The wage earners
Of the United States squander large
per cent Of their earnings in this form
of gambling. Lotteries antedats civili-
cation. Some of the earliest human
records indicate the antiquity Of lot
teries. They thrive on the love Of gam
bling which is one Of the most uniyer-
sal passions OF men.

MUCH RAIN HURTS FISHING
No Hie Catches Of Trout or Bass In
Western Lakes and streams
of Lnte.

Usually long, frequent, and heavy
rains throughout the middle west and
northwest have put back the fishing.
AS n general thing proprietors of re-
sorts on the inland lakes like to see
a wet spring, as those lakes are mostly
too shallow, and the higher the water
the better the fishing. There has been
too much of n good thing, however,
says the Chicago Tribune.
The floods have washed quantities
of food into the lakes and the bass are
not eager. The trout is, above all
things, a clean fish, and must have clean
water in order to feel well. When the
streams are muddied and sand and
chips are floating down the trout re-
treat to their hiding places in the deep
er pools and stay there until the water
above them clears. The bass are not
so susceptible, but still dislike to roam
much or do much feeding in water that
is distributed or swollen.
1t is the belief that the present sea-
son will be better than many of those
past, because the high water now
means full lakes later. In late July
and August they have been too shall
low, but enough of water has been
stored up to last them through. In
some places they are six feet above
the ordinary level.

open air will do, especially if the wind
is blowing, says the Hartford Times.
Could not the effect be produced by
a reservoir of compressed air connect
ed with a six-inch pipe?
The passenger could sit in chair on
the porch and let the breeze be turned
on him at the same velocity that he
would be carried against the air in
an automobile. He could wear his
leather coat and goggles and have all
the benefits Of rapid ride without the
danger of running over pedestrians.
\ steering wheel could be furnis he'd
to complete the resemblance. From
time to time water could be allowed
to trickle into the pipe and driving
rain be produced. Or salt water could
be used and the effect of sailing in a
stiff breeze be given. The plan is
worth considering. 1t is not patented.

In some of the public libraries Of
the United States the percentage Of
fiction called for has been reduced
below GO. Even this figure is mis-
leading. Novel devotees read three
times as fast as those who call for
books Of other classes. Novels are
often skinned or returned as unsat-
isfactory after few chapers are
sampled. When the novel reading Is
scaled down by this consideration
the excess Of fiction taken out Of
public Libraries is largely reduced.

DEADLY VOLCANO GAS.
Said to Have Caused the speedy Dis
solution of Everyone of Sou
frieres Victims.

Gen. Forwood who received re-
port from Lieut.. Jere b. Clayton, as
sistant surgeon, concerning the dis
tribution of medical supplies to the
people of the West Indies suffering
from the effects of the recent volcanic
eruptions, says that, as near as could
be ascertained, the cause of death
was the explosion of an infiammable
gas which was emitted by the noun
tain, reports a Washington exchange.
The most plausible explanation of the
conditions found, he says, was given
by Lieut.. John j. Reilly, a member of
the expedition, who suggested that
the gas as sent forth by the mountain
was not infammable until mixed with
certain quantity of oxygen, and that
mixture was reached at the time the
gas arrived at st. Pierre. 1t was firm
ly asserted by all the survivors that
everyone in st. Pierre was dead three
minutes after the explosion took
place.
The medical men say that the cause
OF death at st. Vincent seems to have
been sulphur dioxide, or a similar gas,
emitted by Soufriere 4 few persons
were injured or killed by falling rocks.
Burns were found on the posterior sur
face Of the exposed parts of the body,
indicating that everyone was running
away from the mountain.

SOFT WORDS OF BEGGARS.
BY which They Seek to Turn Away
the Wrath of Those, Who Re-
fuse Them Aims.

In the severity of Chicago winter
the able-bodied Chicago beggar has
certain temerity that deserts him
as the mercury column rises to the
dignity of a July day, says the Trib-
une. With the mercury ten degrees
below zero it is not an uncommon
thing for a street beggar to curse an
unwilling citizen to such an extent
that a policeman takes him to the
station in patrol wagon. In these
warm days, however, the able-bodied
man who wants little assistance"
has taken a new tack.
prosperous-looking citizen stood
in La Sale street the other day at
noon when husky fellow lounged
up to him and asked in the well-known
whine:
Mister, could you give me little
assistance. I"
"No, sir" was the emphatic re-
Spouse, 81 wouldn't give my great
grandmother bite of bread if she was
twice as thirsty as you are at this
minute"
THANK you, sir; thank you, sir.
I'm much obliged to you" was the
humble reply to the TRADE. q"
80, don't mention it," returned the
citizen; "you can't pawn it. I've got it
covered by copyright"
But as the fellow slouched away it
was evident that most of it all was
lost on him.
