Mansfield Tells How One Thespan
Got Revenge on Manager.
Richard Mansfield was discussing
the subject of vengeance.
Vengeance as rule" he said
should be left to the gods. | can't
help sympathizing, though, with the
vengeance that a stage villain took on
his manager last year in the West.
THE villain was supposed, :: the
end of the fifth act, to plunge knife
in his heart. and to die very hard
rolling and kicking all over the stage
when his cue came he did plunge
in the knife, but then. instead of dying
he lay down on the floor, crossed his
legs and burst into loud, long laugh
ter, the dagger still sticking, mind
you in his breast
THE audience was amazed and stu
pefied at such unreasonable conduct
The actors on the stage could not &c
on, for they were amazed and stupe
fed too. The manager nearly beside
himself, Kissed from the wings in a
loud whisper:
"'You fool. what are you laughing
at? This is your death scene.
Death scene?' said the recumbent
villain. Yes, l know it is, and with
such salary as you give me, death
comes as a happy release"

No Service Pension Law.

Those men who served in the civil
war and who were even slightly dis.
abled in consequence should, and do,
receive liberal pensions. That is
plain Justice.
Those who served and who are
now impoverished-even though their
poverty is in no way the result OF
their service-should, and do. receive
liberal pensions. That is plain graft
tude.
But it would be an error TO extend
the already generous limits which
now mark the pension laws and to
pay pensions not merely to- those who
are in want or who were disabled but
also to those who are at once sound.

stances.
The service pension law proposes
to bestow pensions of $12 month
on every man who wore the union
uniform for ninety days, whether or
not he was at the front and whether
or not he needs a pension. Unless
Uncle Sam has Fortunatus' purse
this is unwise and wasteful legisla
ton.
Ample provision was made long
ago for the pensioning OF men suffer
ing from disabilities due to service In
the Mexican war. In 1887 congress
passed an i'll advised act giving all

sions on something like 100000 men
who are not pensionable under exist

A service pension law will be q
costly affair, and congress should be
slow to saddle new, heavy expenses
upon the taxpayers. Since 1865 the
disbursements for pensions have been
$2,942 100000, and while the country
will not be ruined If heavy payment
on account of pensions continue foI

Why They Hate the Tariff.

There Is not Democrat who does
not believe in tearing down the tariff
walls that limit commerce and breed
corruption. From the speech of
Charles A. Towne, former United
States Senator from Minnesota, deliv-
cred at the Democratic club in New
York, Feb. II, 1904.
That is exactly the position of the
Democratic party regarding the pro-
tectiye system. Here and there may
be found a Democrat who Is prOtec-
ZIONIST at bottom or who is anxious
to preserve protection for some in
dustry or interest in his state or dis
trict, but when it comes to voting in
Congress every one of them votes
with his party to tear down the tariff
walls. Not because the tariff walls
limit commerce, for they have won
derfully increased commerce. Not
because the tariff breeds corruption,
for 1t does nothing of the sort; it
breeds industry breeds employment,
breeds wages, breeds deposits in the
savings banks, breeds plenty and com
fort in the homes of many millions
of people. 1t SIS not for these things
that Democrats hate the tariff. 1t is
because the tariff walls have for more
than forty years stood between the
Democratic party and the control of
national affairs: because the tariff
walls have all i'll all these years kept
a million or more of Democrats out Of
Office That is the chief reason why
all Democrats hate the tariff.

Something to Fall Back on.

to fall back upon, and may be able to
do something along that line

an appeal to the people. Take from
the Democratic mind its seated grudge
against protection and you remove
the last remaining reason why any
man should continue to be a Demo,

will be determined almost exclusively
on tariff lines.

British Free Trade a Failure.

Last year the British government
spent $35,000,00O more than it's rev.
enue, The foremost question at this
time in the foremost free trade nation
is a proposed return to protection.
The battle may be a long one, with
varying fortunes, but the fact re.
mains that the system of free trade
has been weighed and found wanting
by the nation best prepared to sus-
tain it. The United States had a
treasury surplus last year and the
balance will again be on the right
side for the fiscal year ending with
June.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-04-07
Dangerous to Democracy.

Republicans naturally oppose the
agitation of the tariff issue. for the
soundest of reasons. They hold pri-
marily that the tarit is to-day in the
hands of the party of protection;
that it has been adjusted to suit the
economic policy of The nation; that
an agitation of the issue at this time
would naturally tend to unsettle
business, as it did in 1892. They be-
lleve in tariff revision by its friends.
The Democratic motive in clamor.
ing for a renewal of the tariff discus.
sion in the coming campaign is little
less than an indecent exposure of
their unscrupuIousness In politics.

THE teacher recited to them, The
Landing of the Pilgrims and after
she had finished she requested each
pupil to try and draw from his or her
imagination picture of Plymouth
Rock.
