Cleveland and German.

Tile New York Tribune seldom errs in
stating a case, and is usually sound in ar
gument 1t trips, however, In its treatment
of the eulogy of Mr. German delivered by
Mr. Blackburn In the Senate the other day,
wherein the late senator from Maryland
was defended from the charge of "perfidy
and dishonor" respecting his part In the re-
writing of the Wilson tariff bill in 1894
after it had reached the Senate. Mr.. Black
burn took the ground-well established be-
fore-that all that Mr.. German did on that
occasion was reported to the man higher
up as the work proceeded, and that much
of II was done at that mans suggestion
Mr.. Cleveland did not peep" publicly until
all was over and the country showed dis
pleasure with the result Says the Tribune:
Mr.. Blackburn was Mr.. Germans lieu
tenant In the Senate. He was also the close
political and personal friend of Mr.. Car
Isle, the Secretary of the Treasury under
Mr.. Cleveland, and what he says Is q
administration and of the good faith OF
President Clevelands Reputation of the
Senate tariff bill as a dishonorable frustra-
ton of the counsels of the brave in their
hour of might
Not Mr.. Germans lieutenant in that tariff
fight. Mr. Blackburn did not figure promi-
nently in the matter. He was then, as he
is now, an advocate of tariff for revenue
only. Never in any sympathy with the
Randall wing of the party, to which Mr..
German belonged, the Kentucky senator
must have Endorsed without reservation the
tariff plank of the Chicago platform upon
which Mr.. Cleveland was nominated in
1892; and had he instead of Mr. German
been in charge of the Wilson bill in the
Senate when the party was called upon to
redeem its cAmDai9n DrOmieeS
situation would probably have developed.
For it is inconceivable that Mr.. Blackburn,
a free trader. would have pursued the
course taken by Mr. German, a protection
list. Mr.. Blackburn Is not to be understood
as championing Mr.. Germans tariff Views,
but as defending him from the asperslons
of those who accepted his activities and
then denounced him. That Is good COM
radeship, and the square deal
AS to how close the relations were be-
tween Mr.. Blackburn and Mr. Carlisle at
that time. there is safety In the statement
that those that existed at an earlier time
between Jonathan and David were closer
Both were Kentuckians and both demo-
Gratis. and there an end Mr. Carlisle had
thrown all of his weight into the scale az
Secretary of the Treasury against silver,
while Mr.. Blackburn senator had sup
ported silver. They were as far apart as
the poles on a question which two years
later-in 189G-was to split the party wide
open. sendin Mr.. Blackburn into the Bryan
camp. and Mr.. Carlisle along with Mr.
Cleveland practically into the Mckinley
camp. II Jonathan Blackburn and David
Carlisle had met in the big road in 1896
they would probably not have seen each
other.

OF course the rural districts hold to the

The ThankfuIness Of Hiram.

Old Hiram Hopkinson was the
meanest man on Pusley Creek He
wouldn't even give thanks. He said he
ought to be paid for them.
Whats the good Of giving something
for nothing?" he growled. Nobody
gives me anything. What I get have
to pay cash for. Huh? No, I won't
II anybody gets anything out of Hi
ram Hopkinson he pays cash for 1t.
That's me, and that's business"
This speech had come to the ears Of
Mrs. Hopkinson, kindly soul and
Hiram's only claim to happy hereaf-
ter, and she told him she hoped that
what she had heard was not true.
But it is," he persisted. Il said
just that, and 1 meant it. 1 mean it
now."
"Oh, Hiram" she cried, its wicked
its wicked! You have plenty to be
thankful for, and the good Lord will
make you thankful. You see If He
doesn't"
Hiram snorted defiance and went
out to hitch up the team. 1t was early
in November, and he had wagon-load
of turkeys to take to town. Hiram's
turkeys were fine and fat always, and
he got the top of the market for them
Some time next day Hiram complain
ed to his wife Of a sore bump on his
neck. She took a look and reported
that it looked to her like a "bealin."
By the second day it was fully-de-
veloped boil, and it was very busy.
Hiram went around with his head
twisted to one side. At night there
was a fiax-seed poultice on it as big as
a plate. Mrs. Hopkinson had put it
there.
On the morning Of Thanksgiving day
Hiram's boil was bigger than turkey
egg, and he was laid up in bed.
Poor Hiram" soothed his kindly
wife as she smoothed down his pillow,
you haven't got anything to be thank
full for today, have yOu?"
Eyes, l have, Susan" he replied;
"yes, 1 have. I'm darned thankful that
I've got only one boil. 1 might have
had a dozen, you know"
And I'm thankful, too, Hiram" she
said, sweet and low, and took his hand
in hers.
Thus there was Thanksgiving in the
house of Hopkinson.-Judge.

Tommy's Experiment.

Miss Passee was present at the
Thanksgiving dinner.
AS soon as Tommy had finished his
second piece of pie and given up hope
of obtaining a third, he asked to be al
lowed to leave the table for a moment.
Permission was granted him, and he
slipped out of the room. In few sec
onds he returned with the dainty Dres-
den clock from the parlor mantelpiece.
Gracious, child" exclaimed the
mother. What mischief are you up
to with that clock?"
Coin TO try a speriment,' replied
Tommy, with Importance.
Miss Passee Uttered.
1.-The dear little fellow is going to try
an experiment." she gushed. How
clever Of him!"
While Miss Passee was speaking,
Tommy had carefully placed the clock
on the table in front of her. With a
mysterious gesture he laid his finger on
his lips and enjOined silence. No one
stirred.
After about two minutes Tommy's
strained expression relaxed. and he
clapped his hands in exultation.
1T goes" he cried, triumphantly.
1T goes! You were wrong, papa!"
Tommys father said nothing, but
looked apprehensive.
"Of course it goes, child" laughed
Miss Passee. What made your father
think it Wouldn't"
We'll" replied the little fellow,
simply. "he said your face would stop
a iock!"-Popular Magazine.

dertaking he had on hand. The party
was made up. In all there were II men
There wasn't a lawbreaker in the
lot They were just IL men who knew
how to handle themselves and who
were plumb weary Of Choker rule and
law.
Right next door to Patterns faro
bank was a little restaurant run by
Mexican, Estrada Guerrero. 1t was the
habit Of Lane and Vail to drop Into
the Greasers eating shack at night
around 10 o'clock for q bite to eat.
"Estrada's customers sat on rough
stools before rough tables and at 1O
o'clock that night-an hour before they
were due to be run out Of Virginia
City on the westbound stage-the two
dealers were the only patrons hold
ing down stools in the grub shack.
They sat side by side, facing the front,
and they ate calmly and with appar-
ent relish, not in the least like warned
men.
IF anything happens, If any OF
those Choker people come in while
you're gnawing your tamales,' Patten
had said to them early in the evening
your end of 1t Is to just draw back
ward from your stools and lay fiat on
the floor. The rest of it'll be taken
care Of
$50 the two dealers just went on eat
ing their Greaser grub and slipping
their coffee without bothering their
heads about the near approach Of the
hour Of IL, when they were scheduieu
by the Crokers to depart.
ut was q night Of pitchy darkness,
but when about 1890 Lane and Vail
saw a number Of men approaching the
restaurant they knew that the game
was on. They waited for the first OF
the dozen or so Of Chokers to get into
the frame Of the front door, when, as
quick as thinking, they simultaneously
kicked their stools from under them
and sprawled prone on their stomachs
on the floor.
They'd hardly done this when from
the rear Of the eating shack there came
volley the like Of which no bunch OF
Nevada Chokers had ever stood up
against before. The volley was made
by sawed off shotguns, loaded with
slugs, the kind Of sawed offs express
messengers used to carry.
Erred Patten and his outfit Of Anti
Chokers, massed in the dark Of the
kitchen Of Estrada Guerrero's eating
shack, were the makers Of the volley.
Only five of that platoon Of a dozen
and odd Chokers lived long enough to
be surprised, and the remaining five
were plugged up too much to care a
great deal, one way or the other.
"Ambuscade? Certainly! But when
you dig down to the root Of 1t, what
was the spirit of the whole vigilante
business but the ambuscading spirit?
1 can speak for what I know about,
and / do know that, that was the spirit
that animated the Chokers, anyhow.
don't ask anybody to subscribe to my
belief, but l am out on the firing line
with the opinion that the Chokers OF
Virginia City got everything that was
due them that night, and then some,
as the catch phrase runs.
There never has been q Choker, or
anything of the same kind under DIFF
ferent name, in Nevada from that
night down to the present moment OF
time"
