Now my dear reader permit
me TO introduce to you the foun.
dation of my claims.
The Appeal has a circulation
OF 33s000, the subscription price
is Scots per year. Now multiply
33s00O by 80, the result is $l60,

Blames Combine for
Causing Night Riding.

Senator Bradley Of Kentucky
on the 2sth of May in one Of
the most interesting speeches
upon the cause of the night
riders in Kentucky and Tennes-
see. He criticises and blamed
the Tobacco Combine for the
condition of things and plead
with, and appealed, to Congress
for help, stating that it was in
their power to help and furnish
the remedy by removing the tax
and restrictions from the sale of
leaf tobacco in it's natural state.
The Mckinley bill, he said,
gave the farmers what they
wanted and provided proper
means for tracing the leaf sales,
1T remained for the Demo,
cratic party to appeal this just
law by the passage Of the Wilson
bill which has been the fruitful
source Of all our woe,"

NOTICE TO FISHERMEN.
Liable to BE Arrested and Fined for
Catching Undcrwei9ht Trout.

Austin, Texas, July 21.-Unless
the average fisherman is extremely
careful, he is liable to be arrested
and fined heavily for catching trout
that WaisL less than three-quarters
of pound. The amendment to the
fish and game law, which became eff
fective on July II. has several chan
ges from the old law, one of the
most important is that which prohib-
its the catching of trout that is less
than three-quarters of a pound. In
the event such a trout happens to
come in contact with a fishing hook
in the hands of anxious fishermen
the latter is to at once throw the
trout back into the river or lake, as
the case may be. Deputy Game War
den Torrance is preparing brief
statement of the changes in the law
and this is the most important and
one which is more likely to be vio-
lated The fine for its violation is
from $40 to $3.50. The other chan
ges relate to the rates of taxes to be
paid by wholesale dealers.

mentioned proposed amendment
seeks TO change. The adoption of
this amendment is of great import

Good roads mean more TO the far
mer. every way, than to the city or
town man. The latter have social,
school and church privileges all the
year Farmers are blockaded several
months by bad roads on account of
disagreeable weather With good
roads the farmer will he on par
with the town man. This will keep
boys and girls on the farms instead
of sending them crowding into the

Baltimore, Md, July 21,-As a
result of an almost unprecedented
series of mishaps. five persons in one
/ family-a father and four sons
/ had narrow escapes from death or
serious injury Oh the same day. The
/ family is that of Edward B. Upton
! of Curtis Bay, suburb.

was working on a dangerous pro-

managed to seize a projecting scant-
ling and save himself from being
dashed to death 100 or more feet

At almost the same hour one of
his sons, about two miles away. was
caught in belt while standing near
some machinery and his clothes were
torn into shreds. A few hours later
another sons hand was caught in a
piece of machinery, and hardly was
the news of this accident received
when another son escaped being

DENOt Ratio TARIFF DISLOE-
ATTY

! Mr.. Bryan makes no attempt to
iocratic members of congress who
| have given their aid TO raising rath-
er than lowering the duties, but he
has somewhat belittled the gravity
of this disloyalty
1t is bad enough when republican
members, finally pledged to down
ward revision by a single platform,
.ignore that pledge and revise the
tariff in the interests of the trusts
rather than in the interests of the
people.
But it is still worse when demo-
cratic members, pledged not only by
their last preceding platform, but
also by the traditions and doctrines
of the party, go over to the protec-
ton side with and give aid TO the
predatory combinations that seek to
perpetuate the robhing system Of
/ high protection.
The case Of Senator Bailey, for eX-
ample. is much like that of Senator
! German when the Wilson law was
! pending 1t was German more than
any other man that made the Wilson
act so out of harmony with the ira
ditional policies of the democratic
party that President Cleveland char
/ ged that the passage of the bill was
AN act OF perfidy and dishonor.'
/ In the present instance Senator
Bailey. however, is under much
heavier cloud of odium than that
(which hung over German. He is re-
Ipudiated by the leading newspapers
of his state and has provoked de
uunciation within his party 10 an eX-
traordinary degree He is charged
. with having gone over TO Aldrich
with only such reservations as have
mot interfered with Aldrich pro-
gram.
! The tariff situation has changed
since Germans day. The failure OF
tariff revision will no longer be
| charged solely against one party or
another. The country is keeping tab
on the men who are responsible.
That is the most hopeful sign in the
tariff situation at this time.-kan-

4 STAMP MenaSerie.

Collectors of postage stamps will
have noticed that many stamps bear
the pictures of animals. Arrange the
stamps according 10 the design they
bear. the stamp collector can gather
a considerable menagerie. The three
cent Canadian stamp of 1851 bears
a beaver Newfoundland issues of
1866 have the seal and the Goldfish.
In 1887 the Newfoundland dog APP
peared on the half-cent stamp. In
the United States in 1869 the horse
was printed in brown on the two
cent stamp, and in the Omaha issue.
the year of the fair appeared two
more animals, the bull and the buf-
faIo In the eastern hemisphere the
animal stamps are more numerous
and strange China furnishes fish,
la seagull and a dragon. Across the
Indian ocean in the Conga Free
State one finds the elephant on the
one franc stamp. Liberia furnises
the hippopotamus on the two cent
stamp in brown and black. As one
travels throu- n Africa he finds on
the stamps of Nyassa the spotted gil
raffe In Egypt lie comes upon the
camel on all the stamps of the Sou
dan. and in the wilderness of the
French Congo he finds the leopard
on the cheaper stamps. In New South
Wales appear one animal and two
birds which are peculiar to that part
of the world-the kangaroo stand

emu and the lyre-bird. A short dis
