FUNNY MASSACHUSETTS.

Massachusetts, Is funny old state.
It is a joke in some ways.
For instance:
Right now II has n position before
the president to have tarin duties
reduced.
That Is not funny until Il Is con.
sidored in connection with the fact
that both senators and every Repub.
llcan congressman from that state
will vote against any tariff reduction.
That is where the joke comes In.
The majority OF the people Of tho
state are all free traders, but they
. hold their party allegiance above
their business, a fact hard TO under.
stand, but a fact They still think
the Southerners will get them II they
do not vote the Republican ticket
That has been bred into them and
they cant get over it.
That is not all. They elect their
congressman, knowing them to be
stand pat Republicans. They elect
two stand pat senators and then all
sign a petition 10 the president to re
ducc the tauff. That is to say, Mas
sachusotts casts her vote In congress.
TO keep the tariff high and strong
and then asks the president to re
duce the tariff. That is about the
limit Of comic opera absurdity.
That is not all of It, Massachusetts
will elect these same high tariff Re
publicans again and again, kpowinl
phat they will vote against any tarlf
reform. even the slightest. Our New
England brotsR is funny without in

Any one who knows the Oriental

Riaors Of Anime Winter.

The situation in Switzerland, owing
to snowstorms, Is much worse than
is revealed by the scant kilograms

Globe. Tho state OF things has rare
" been so bad at this time of year.
The uplands already lie two yards
deep under snow ana the mountain
villages Of the Simplon and other vii
lagos are absolutely cut of from the
rest OF the country. An attempt has
been made in the legislature to In.
duce the government to keep the pass

declared to be prohibitory.
From Berne in the beginning OF
the week several dligences were long
overdue, and their arrival was await
ed with anxiety. A number of peas.
ants who had gone with cattle from
the valleys to the uplands had also
been caught. and were quite unable
to descend. while efforts to reach
them involved much danger.
one of the most remarkable in

on whole population comes from
the Perpignan region of France.

FOR THE NOMINEE.

Men are fond Of debating whether
the rule Of the democratic party re
quirng n pledge to support the nom
inees of the city primary election Is
binding. II most certainly Is binding.
Under the party ruling we are to
nominate the mayor councilmen and
city officers We nominate all and
the action is binding ON every man
voting in the primary or who receives
n nomination by our votes Every
man who votes In the primary Is In
honor bound to do all that the rules
require. II Is Il matter of the high
est honor.
II n man votes in the primary he
binds himself to support the nomi-
nees-every one OF them lie binds
himself by his honor to support the
men nominated by the primary. What
man would think of shirking his
.pledgey II would be Infamous to do
so. II would be so infamous that no
man would want to stand before the
people among whom he must live af-
ter committing the act.
The ruling OF the party. on every
man who votes in the primary, is as
binding as the mans honor can bind
him. 1t would damn man forever
to violate the pledges made by voting,
and no man In Ardmuc would do IL
No gentleman would ever consider
such scheme,
