and poisons all the legislation Of Con-
gress and makes political trimmers
even Of our Presidents


The Republican managers profess to
be vastly worried over the Tillman bill
which passed the Senate prohibiting
corporations from contributing to polit.
ical campaign funds. 1t is not very
encouraging that the bill passed the
Senate without word of debate, and
1t is either intended to put the Senators
on record as being the radical body and
thus make the House swallow 1t or
defeat 1t, or 1t shows that the Republi-
can corporation Senators feel sure OF
the usual campaign contributions from
some hidden source. If the bill Is re-
ported to the House by the committee
to whom 1t has been referred, it will
undoubtedly pass, for even Speaker
Cannon and the other Republican cor.
poration leaders will not dare to op:
pose 1t.
The Republican members OF the
House are In hot water anyway, for
they must vote for reform, or their con-
stituents, who are sitting up and TAX
Ing notice this year, Will down them,
and on the other hand they must have
campaign funds. or be defeated With
the corporations prohibited from fur
nislling the usual large amount, the
campaign war chest will be only re-
plenished by the individuals who are
tariff beaeticiaries, or corporation Off
Gals in their individual capacity.
The poor harassed Republican Con.
| gresham is damned If he does vote for
such bill and condemned II he does
not vote for it, and so he cusses SEN
ator Tilllnan.
AS the Democrats learned In 1896
and have become accustomed in subse-
qucnt years how to get along with
hardly enough money to pay their
printing bills and postage, they will
| welcome the passage of measure that
| will aid in preventing Republican cor
ruption and which will put them on
more even terms with their heretofore
highly subsidized opponents. And II
the Republicans refuse to pass the bill,
that fact will make another good rea-
son for turning the rascals out.

Any farmer who would leave several
bushels of oats on the ground at har-

the same thing when he sows inferior
seed that Is infested with foul seed,

FROM PARIS ACROSS.
Passengers May in Few Years Stand
Under English Channel.

PARIS, Dec. 15.-There is no doubt
that within a few years it will no
longer be necessary for the many
American visitors who come to the
shores of France after their obligatory
visit to London, to take the dreaded
sail across the channel. They will
simply board a train in London and
remain in their parlor or sleeping car
until they arrive here, for the tunnel
under the tempetuous strait is now
positively to be built.
The military precautions taken by
the cautious Britain and agreed to by
the French government have practical
ly disposed of the invasion scare
which made the English stop the work
when about a mile of the tunnel had
been dug on either side Of the chan
mel.
The entrance will be at Calais and
Dover and the tunnel is to be made as
light as day throughout its whole
length.
AS to how long the work will take
opinion differs widely, but enthusiast
tic Parisians are already planning a
UNIQUE celebration which is to take
place when the president OF France
and the king Of Great Britain Will
meet and shake hands in the center OF
the tunnel many fathoms below the
surface of the water.

Miraculous Escape Of Drunken Finn
Who Goes to Sleep On Bottom

rang stop" to the engineer as he was
lowering the empty skip. The fellow
then caught hold of the rope and slid
to the bottom and lay down to sleep.
The engineer held the skip at the
spot a long time and, getting no sig

cause and was informed by the lander
that no signal had been given from
that point. The engineer then lowered
the skip very cautiously to the bot
tom.
The delay to the skip had caused a
congestion of cars on the plat below
and as soon as it rested on the bear
ers, a car of ore, holding two tons,
that had been waiting on the plat, was
dumped into the skip, the sleeping
man in the bottom not having been
detected by the skiptender.
The skip was "rung up" hauled to

into the pocket. The ore fell out first
and after it the man who had been

rell and Jerome Sigler, whom every
body in Montclair, New Jersey knows,
have learned much about shooting
rabbits. They went to Morris county
to shoot rabbits and tramped around
Pine Brook for two hours without
even seeing a cotton-tail. Hungry,
cold and tired they sought Josh john

they bewailed their bad luck john
son ridiculed them, saying:

long rope, tied a cowbell in the mid
die of it and called his hired man, jim

the rope. Belden took the other, and
while the cowbell tangled loudly they
walked slowly across the meadow.

AS If called by the bell, unable to
resist it's sound, rabbits appeared out
of the brush faster than ever masi-

bunnies sat up and listened; never did
snake fascinate them more. One would
not move out Of Belden's way; he
kicked it aside. Farrell and Sigler
were so astonished they forgot to
shoot at first. Then they blazed away
and got Is out of the 16 rabbits that
answered the call of the bell in those
10 acres.
Farrell and Sigler sent johnson a
gallon of the best apple jack they
could buy, last night. But nothing can
convince them that Johnson had not
trained the rabbits to come to the
sound of his cOwbell.

Will Buy LumIsy and Jordan from
Brooklyn for $4,000.

CHICAGO. Dec. 15-"I may make
the biggest deal ever attempted in
major league BASEBALL" said President
Charles w. Murphy, Of the Chicago
Nationals, as he boarded the train for
New York today. But If am success
full in the negotiations. it will be sew
eral days before the deal will be con-
summated."
The executive of the cubs, always a
firm believer in being on the ground
early. Is off for the annual meeting,
scheduled for next Tuesday in New
York city. Last year he thwarted
Magnate Brush in that famous -four
for one" deal by which he got Jimmy
Sheckard for four players and a large
check by clinching the deal at 3 o'clock
in the morning, while Mr.. Brush was
asleep.
Reports from New York indicate that
Brooklyn again is after the money,
tempted by $4,000 check that Mag
nate Brush offers for First Baseman
Jordan and Outfielder Lumley.
" Will Murphy land Lumley and
make that deal Of a year ago look like
a minor league dicker?" asked one Of
the critics at the train.
Mr.. Murphy only smiled.
Manager Chance and myself have
agreed that no legitimate effort will be
lost to add strength to the pennant-
winning team of the National league"
continued the president. IF I could
land a pair of players have in mind,
and should be able to get them by ex-
changing Chicago players Of nearly
equal strength together with a bonus
should not hesitate to give 100000
for them and set a high-water mark
for the world of baseball trades.
Chicago is not afraid to spend
money to get star men. 1t comes back
at the turnstiles. Patrons Of baseball
at the West Side park shall have the
best that we can get for them. We
feel that we owe it to these loyal en-
thusiasts to give them the best in the
land. I therefore will go the limit
