Wisconsin Republicans.

Both United States senators and all or nearly all of the republican repre-. sentatiyes are opposed to the election of Gov. Robert M. Lafollette to a third term in Wisconsin Senator Quarles expects reelection next winter, and Senator Spooner is a determined fighter. But so Is Governor Lafollette. He glories in a political rough-and- 2 tumble. "He is," says the Milwaukee Sentinel, "a fighter by instinct and profession" and no one in Wisconsin expects to see him back an inch before the senators and congressman arrayed against him. He has a big machine behind him, and he stands before the people the advocate of many needed reforms.
 The senators and congressmen con trol the federal patronage. and if they array that against the fighting gov ernor, he may assail even the admins tration. Such an effort would at any rate make him lukewarm towards the Roosevelt side of the campaign. He would not hesitate to assail any one who fights him. He Is built that way.
 Wisconsin has of late cast heavy republican majorities, but MT. Cleve- land carried 1t in 1892, and Governor Peck, democrat, was easily elected in 1890. Governor Peck is again be- fore the people, and he may carry the democratic banner. There is feeling that a strong democrat-one who can poll the full vote of the party-can be elected this year because of the warmth and bitterness of the republi can dissensions. Governor Lafolette is fighting for state control, and he is fighting the fight of his political ca reer. If he loses, he goes out of poll tics. Senator Spooner is also a fighter, and Wisconsin promises to afford the hottest campaign of the en tire country. The democrats of Wis consin will assuredly get in position to take advantage of anything that comes their way.

HOW LONG IS A DREAM?

From the Liverpool Post
 How long does a dream last? To the dreamer 1t sometimes seems to endure for hours, and the general impression is that dreams continue for minutes at least, while the fact Is that the longest dream appears to be confined within a solitary second, even though the events of 1t may impress the dreamer for days. The other afternoon" said a doctor. T called to see a patient, and, much to my satisfaction, I found him sleeping sound ly. I sat by his bed. felt his pulse. with out disturbing him, and waited for him to awaken. After few minutes a deal CTS cart with discordant ringing bells turned into ths street, and as their first tones reached me my patient opened his eyes.
 " Doctor" he said, I'm glad to see you, and awfully glad that you woke me, for I have been tortured by most dis dressing dream that must have lasted for several hours. l dreamed that was sick, as l am, and that my boy came into the room with string of most hor- rible sounding bells and rang them in my ears, while I hadn't the power to move or speak to him. I suffered tortures for what appeared to be interminabe time, and I am so glad you awoke me-
 'The ringing of those bells for one sec ond had caused all of that dream, and just at the waking moment"

cARBoLlc ACID ANTInoTE.
An Engllshman Has Tried Turpentlne
 With Success.

 From the London Daily News.
 A remarkabls discovery has apparently been made by Dublin veterinary sur geon named Allen respecting an antidotc for carboiic acid poisoning.
 Some time ago his attention was drawn to two horses which were evidently suf- fering from poisoning. On examining one he noticed that the mucous surface of the mouth was blanced and that the ami eral twitching of the muscles, the eyes were staring, and the animal was rapidly assuming a comatose condition. Mir Al- len asked for some oil, linseed for pref erence; if not, any kind of oil that was handy. Some was brought and about two wineglassfulls administered to one of the animals, the effect being, to quote the words of Mir. Allen, miraculous For the first time he then noticed that the "oil'' which had been given to the horse was the ordinary turpentine of commerce. So satisfied was he with the result that he gave the second horse dose, although at that time the animal was unconscious. In about ten minutes il recovered, and both horses were at work the next day as if nothing had happened.
 1Npl loilB dIlSA lliiS, DJ ptcuHdi IO- incidence, Mir. Allen was asked to look at a blacksmith who after drinking glass of stout had become very III. Tn the forge the veterinary found the smith in a condition of coma, a strong smell of car bolic acid prevailing the premises. Uti- mately he discovered that the man had drunk out of the wrong vessel and im- bibed a solution of the acid instead of the stout A doctor was at once sent for, but in the meantime Mir Allen ad- ministered dose of turpentlne that hap pened to be on tfie premises, and the man not only quickly recovered, but re- sumed his work within an hour
 Turpentine as an antidote in similar cases had been previously unknown and a representative of the Daily News re- gently sought out an expert with view of getting a medical opinion upon a mat ter of so much importance. '"rhe symp- toms in the case you mention," he said, "are distinctly those of carbolic acid pois- oning, and so successful does that treat ment appear to have been that further experiments in the same direction are well worth trying. If subsequent experiment confirms the oil of turpentine treatment then on every packet or bottle containing carbolc acid sSould be printed this sim pie antdote."

DEPTH OF LIFE IN THE SEA.

From the New York World.
 In the May number of the National Geographic Magazine is an interesting story of the deep sea explorations of the steamer Albatross, under the direc- ton of the United States bureau of fish cries.
 While carrying on her work the Alba tross has made more than 10000 sound ings and more than 4000 dredgings.
 The greatest depth from which the Albatross has secured any life was 4173 fathoms. This was in the South Pa cific between Tonga and Ellce islands. The dredge brought up silcous sponges, radiolarians and brown volcanic mud. The greatest depth from which she has brought up fishes is about three and one third miles in the edge of the Gulf Stream off Virginia. The deepest sounding made was at Station 401o. near Guam. where the enormous depth of nearly five and one-half miles was found
 The deepest sounding ever made by any vessel was by the United States steamship Nero while on the Honolulu Manila cable survey. with apparatus bor- rowed from the Albatross. When near Guam the Nero got 31.614 feet, only 66 feet less than six miles. If Mount Ever est, the highest mountain on earth, were set down in this hole 1t would have above Its summit nearly half a mile of water.

gain of four seats. If New York goes democratic, we will gain three seats now held by republicans. The dissenslons among Illinois republicans are expected to add four seats more, or eleven in all, and the other seven seats will be picked up in Maryland. West Virginia and Virginia. At pres ent the New York delegation stands: Republicans 20; democrats, r. The West Virginia delegation is solidly re- publican. From California comes at present but one democrat out of eight: from Michigan but one out of twelve.
 There are plenty of opportunities for democratic gains, and if a land slide sets in under a leader who can solidify the party, the democratic ma jority in the house of the Fifty-ninth congress may outrun the republican majority in the present house.

PEERLESS VULCAN.

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 Vulcan in his greatness stands without peer at the Worlds. Fair, he is the ob- tect of great cc.fment, and monument to Alabama, a credit to the enterprise of E Yi. mingham. Standing under the shad- ow of this iron giant, we could but thank God, that Alabama had a Birmingham spirit, a spirit of enterprise unequalled by the competitive world. We hard a Japanese, man who was cultured and spoke English fluently, say that Vulcan Is the finest conception, the greatest ex- hibit at the Fair. His commendatlon was of Alabama, for it seems the State so nndeserving, gets the credit for this ex- libit. Birmingham's enterprise and pub lie spirit has levied obligations upon Ala bama. We can say without hesitation or doubt, that this Vulcan brings more peo- pie to a standstIl in silent admiration than any one exhibit at the Worlds Fair.

WE APOLOGIZE TO soLIPHoNE.
But Anyway 1t Was the Arkansas
 Gazette's Fault Not Ours.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 We attempted to say In our state col umns a few days ago that "J. R. Taylor, editor of the Paragould Soliphone and the original Hearst boomer in Arkansas, was a candidate for district delegate to the democratic national convention;" bus the demon of perversity descended on The Gazette office that night and through one of those accidents that will happen in even the best regulated offices, The Gazette was made to say that Taylor, the Hearstite, that might man of Paragould, was a candidate for delegate to the 're- publican national convention. This mis- take was corrected after it had appeared in one edition; but can the gunner recall the thirteen-inch shell after 1t was begun to fly along its trajectory? Can love jerk back the lightning after he has launched it at some farmers new $39.70 lightning rod? Can Aeolus, the Rockefeller of the winds. call back to his cave the Kansas cyclone after it has gone half way to To- peka and give rain checks to the disap- pointed crowd?
 During all the ages 1t has fallen to the peot to put in lasting words the great events in the life of the world, be 1t the long hike or Aeneas or the visit to the schoolhouse made by Mary's little lamb. The poet of The New York Times was elected of fate to tell of the alleged flop of The Soliphone in re w. R. Hearst
 Maybe The Timess poet will stab him. self with his own pen when he learn that, far from being apostate the editor of The Paragould Soliphone is getting thirstier and thirstier every day for that democratic district delegateship and that The Paragould Soliphone is getting Hearstier and Hearstier Just think how the poet must feel. Suppose Lord Tenny- son had learned, after he had written the Charge of the Light Brigade that when some one had blundered at Balaklava and commanded Charge for the guns" the Light Brigade had answered that they were running on the moonlight schedule, and that this wasn't their night to shine. Suppose, after the author of Casey at the Bat had gone and done it, he had learned that In truth Casey had knocked the ball over the left field fence and brought in three runs.

Postofflce Grounds Improved.

After a number of unsuccessful at tempts to sod the grounds about the post office it seems that a stand of Bermuda grass has at last been secured" said Q man about town. "'rhe work of setting out the new grass has been finished and from present indications Uncle Sam will have a very fine lawn next summer.
 "The sod has been put down on the plot of ground which separates the post office building from the business block to the east on Second avenue, which has heretofore been decidedly bare A great many people are under the impression that this space is merely for the purpose of setting off the postoffice building and affording room for a lawn or flower gar- den but in reality it is the result of a provision of Uncle Sam that the postoffice must be forty feet distant from any other building because no insurance is carried and 1t is hoped thus to guard against the danger from fire"

Administration Troubles.

With exports declining, gold going out in million-dollar lots and hard times spreading all over the country, the administration is confronted by its own extravaganza. Receipts are running below expenditures. Tn the first ten months of the last fiscal year the surplus of receipts over expendi- lures was over thirty-five million dol lars; this year in ten months it does not greatly exceed two million dollars
 Instead of reducing expenditures to fit receipts the expenses of the gov ernment have been increased in the ten months of the fiscal year eighteen million dollars, and customs have fallen off nearly twenty-one million dollars. The slight gains in other sources of revenue leave the net loss at abou. thirty-three million dollars
 Dingleyism has thus given us a dis appearing surplus, gold export move ment and hard times all round, and the Chicago platform makers cannot conceal facts under general phrases and appeals to ancient history. The voters are interested in the present, and they will want to know why gold is flowing in big stream to Europe-- why times are hard-why federnl ex Npenditures in single ten months were carried to $449, ,15S,5es!
 The republicans will evade these questions in their new Chicago plat form, but they cannot dodge them on the stump, no matter how clever their spellbinders may be. Facts are facts, and the administration is up against a situation consisting of joint and equal parts of Dingleyism and extrav- agance.

From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 LEVEN years ago. when the Co., Gn) lumbian Exposition was about W to be opened, Chicago was prom ised a visit from the worlds most eco- nomical millionaire, Patrick Driscoll, of Arizona, but he was not seen in the crowds at Jackson park. MT. Driscoll had fully decided upon coming here for the purpose of seeing some parts of the world but before he completed his ar engagements for the trip President Cleve- land made his public declaration against the free coinage of silver. Driscol's in- come was cut down several thousand dollars a month by an anti-silver coinage law. So he abandoned his journey. feel ing that he could not afford so expensive a tour at such a time.
 MT. Driscoll owns four of the best pay ing gold and silver mines in the Chloride Valley of Mojave county, Arizona, and has an income of over s90,000 a year, yet he spends no more than $50 a month for his personal comfort. Many generous gifts, however, have come from the Dris- coll bank account to poor miners and their suffering families.
 Driscoll is supposed to be worth be- tween s1.2OO00O and sl.sOoooO. His in come from his mines Is s6,0O0 a month and he draws about s15,O00 year divi- dends on railroad stock in which he in- vested in the early days. He has no relatives as far as he knows.
 The old miner had experienced all the prospector's poverty and hardships until he was passed the middle age, when he drifted down to the Calico mines, in San Bernardino county, California Tn 1881. There he found a mine which he sold for s15,000 This gave him his nrst capital to deal with in mining on his own account From Calico he went to Ari- zona. and in two years located base ere mine of silver, gold and lead In com binations The Diana and Antrim mines became his. He invested his profits in the Harqua Hala mines and doubled his wealth in a few years. From that time he has been prospering to degree un- dreamed of by himself.
 He has never changed his manner of living. He is over sixty anc in fine health. Every day he may be seen walk ing about the little town of Kingman or over to Williams. where he has lumber interests. No one would believe from his appearance that he had property.
 Driscoll lives alone in a cabin, cooks his own meals-of aapjacks. pork ba- con and oatmeal-and sleepes in bunk of redwood filled with straw and cov- cred with blankets. Once year he goes to Phoenix or Los Angeles for a few days, but he always returns to his cabin, saying that he will never take so long a journey again. His sole amusement is playing pedro for five-cent cigars, and if he can win pocketful in the course of an afternoon he is happy. He has never been known to stand the loss of half dozen cigars in the course of his pedro gambling in one day, for he will

Interest In New Leaaue.

T was surprised to learn of the inter- est being taken In the new Tri-state league by baseball enthusiasts in the towns which belong to the organization, said a local baseball authority. Al though the season is not yet well begun the excitement is at fever heat in sew eral of the towns and the prospects are that there will be very warm race for the pennant. Just now Anniston and Columbia seems to be in the lead, but there is no telling what developments the season will bring forth.
 "A characteristic of the teams compos- ing the Tri-state league is the perdomi- nance of young college men, One or two teams are composed almost entirely of college players and makes a very favor able impression wherever they go. It is noticeable that the college boys are much more steady than the seasoned profess sionals, as few dissipate to any extent and they manage to keep in very good form"

State Conventions Ihls Week.

On Monday the convention of Arl zona met; yeserday the Ohio demo crats assembled in convention; today those of Alabama and Tennessee will meet, and tomorrow Maryland will wind up the weeks work. About one. half of the democratic conventions will be held in June as follows:
 Arkansas-Hot Springs, June
 Colorado-Denver, June '.
 Delaware-Dover. June '.
 Georgla-Atlanta, June 1.
 awaii-Honolulu, June 6.
 1daho-Weiser, June S.
 Illinois-Springheld, June 21.
 Indian Territory-Durant, June. IS.
 Kentncky-Louisyllle, June 8.
 Michigan-Detroit, June l.
 Minnesota-Duluth. June p.
 Mssissppi-Jackson, June 15.
 Missonri--Joplin, June 20.
 Nebraska-Lincoln, June 1.
 North Carolna-Greensbor June g.
 North Dakota-Fargo, June 21.
 klahoma-Anadarko June 1.
 Texas-San Antonio, June 21
 Utah-Salt Lake City, June 8.
 Yermont-Burlington June 22
 yirginia--Richmond. June 9.
 The June conventions will know more about the situation than the May conventions do, but this advantage in knowledge can be fully adjusted by leaving the delegation free to act as to it seems best up to the hour of balloting at St. Louis. The hands of trustworthy men should not be tied for the situation is daily changing.
 The latest developpo snt is the candi- dacy or Governor Pattison of Phila- delphia Ee was born in the south, and he mas twice been elected gov erlor of Pennsylvania. He has never bolted the democratic ticket, and he will have the solid support of the big Pennsylvania delegation. His friends claim he can carry Pennsylvania, but even if he cannot, he is an excellent candidate, who could perhaps unite every element of the party.
 But if Alabama leaves her delega tion unshackled and unfettered she will get the benefit of the situation as it stands, not in May alone, but In July, when the final balloting for MT Roosevelt's successor will take place
