wHAr rHE rARMpR WANTS.

The farmers of Harrison connty do
mot want their properly to be assessed
at full value, If other peoples property
Is not TO be returned for taxation. They
do want to pay their honest proportion.
They want all notes that are drawing six
per cent interest to be assessed, just the
same ns their properly is. The proposed
tax bills make no provision for taxing
those notes, other than the present iaw
does The proposed Jaw requires that
farmers shall pay taxes on not only their
farms ut full value, but ON every con-
iceivahie thing they own. It does not
make that requirement Of the money
lender. Again, 1t should be observed
that the proposed law takes taxes of NIL
city and municipal bonds. That is not a
good thing for tho farmer. That brings
him no relief, but, to the contrary, adds
to his taxes. These are only n few Of
the things that the fna1ner docs and does
not want. Above all he docs not want
the proposed tax bills to become law.
What he does wand is equitable taxation.

AMERICAN m TIMES OF p1sranss

Tho humanitarian spirit and generos-
ity of Americans are noticeably evidenc.
ed in the response TO the appeal for help
and assistance from fever-striclsen But
Ter, Pennsylvania. Hundreds, then thou
sands answered in sympathy at once for
the unfortunate ones. Mansions were
turned into hospitals and rich and poor
alike united in an effort to stem the grim
work of the devastator. Social stand
ards were swept aside and all stood upon
the plain of equality, as man to man. It
recalls to mind the days when the cry
of distress was heard in food-swept
Johnstown and of those big railroad cars
loaded with food, clothing and supplies
which were sent into the stricken city
and upon which large grasshoppers had
been hurriedly painted. Such incidents
make the true american citizen bitterly
resent the insinuating remarks of sour
rilious Europeans about the predominant
ing money-before- ever s-thing spirit Of the
American.

CLEVELAND LOSES no FAME.

Cleveland gets no additional fame by
his retirement from active politics. There
ssas time, when he seemed 70 be UNI
der the impression that it was possible
for him to do something that no other
American has done, that Is, to IN the
presidential chair third time. 1t is
strongly suspected that he entrusted to
the editor Of the Brooklyn Eagle the
task Of bringing and spri1ging his can
didacy before the people. This wAs done.
and for q time, on account Of the pari-
yDed condition Of the Democratic party
and It's utter hopclcssness, the mention
of Cleveland's name In connection with
the nomination for the presidency by a
re-organized Democracy found favor, but
gradually other interests Of tho party
asserted themselves and none more
strongly than the South, from which
came notes Of warning in such ,anrnis-
taxable terms that It was not dificuH
20 conclude that there would be peril
from that quarter and in the end the
result would be TO lose even the @solid
South" Doubtless Cleveland himself was
shrdwd enough to appreciate the siguif-
canoe Of these threatening chimes Of the
Democratic melody Of resurrected and
RECONSTRUCTED song, but he was loatbe to
give up an ambition that seized him the
moment it was apparent that the party
was willing to undergo reconstruction.
Subsequent developments were disap.
pointing, but Of n nature that brought
fright, and Cleveland and his friends
soon got scared out of their boots,' and
It was deemed advisable for him to re-
tire and TO do that It was necessary 70

with the request that it be given public

also to the other element of the Demo-
not clear the horizon for the party. It
Is rs much puzzled as ever to know what
to do. The Cleveland followers have been
relieved of a handicap and are free now
to undertake to dictate to all Others of
the party and to assume independence
and the right to repudiate the platform
and nominees, if they are not in accord
ance' with their dictation.
The truth is the only effect Cleve-
lands retirement has so far as clearing
up the situation for the Democratic par
ty Is concerned is that it eliminates one
of the prospective candidates, but the
effect amounts to nothing since it does
not eliminate his following and there
will no doubt be a substitute for him
that will command the support of Cleve-
lands following as strongly as he did.
The act of retiring from the contest
does not bring him more glory. for the

Brought Down From Heaven.

According to Mohammedan belief,
the first copy Of the Koran, or Alkoran,
their sacred book, was brought down
from the highest to the lowest heaven
by Gabriel on the mysterious night of
Al Khade in the month Of Ramadan.
This wonderful book, written in heav-
en- and bound in satin, jewels and
gold, was communicated to Moham-
med at different times during a period
Of twenty-three years. This was done,
according to Mohammedan belief, Ell
Their by Gabriel in human shape or by
God himself. When Gabriel acted as
translator and communication. he did so
with a great sound Of music and
bells" God appeared either "veiled OF
unveiled during Mohammed's waking
hours or during dreams at night"

How Snake. Fascinnte.

The cobra Of the Cape fascinates
birds by coiling itself on, a branch,
erecting it's head and swinging to and
fro. Sundowner states that the snake
will go on fascinating and keeping
the bird twittering and unable to leave
the tree in which it is .for hours" and
that if the bird is driven away it comes
back. This may be a yarn" but from
the curious fascination which nonter-
rifying objects, such as lark glitters,"
have for some birds and their apparent
inability to resist lowering around the
lure the far greater mesmerizing power
Of the serpent may be ~conjectured.
Movement, more or less regular, is al
ways part of the means Of fascination
employed by snakes. Their fondness
for music Of any kind is not extended
to the sound of the human voice sing
ing, which snakes clearly do Lot appre'
ciate at all. They only care for 'in.
strumental music" which includes the
concertina, tomtom and Jews harp
But from experiments made in this
country it was evident that they like
the bagpipes best.-Spectator.

against Pierre.
A telephone message vas received

the other from f. B. Elce. The
