How onn you go out nuil answer tho questions portiuont to thh campaign without entangling nlhanocfl and con fused Idonal Sonio taxpayer, tired of your pro toctlvo oxactlons, twits: "Why should only 2,738,895 people, tho pots of protection, bo favored at tho oxpenso of over 70 per cent, of their ou.uw.uuu lollow citizeiwl What fort Tho voico from tho stiM warm with the tear of widows and orphans huskily 'aiidwors, "For free wntskoyr "Why should wo not cheapen clothes, blankets, and carpets by ad mitting wool free, since tho woollen mills have a capacity for 600,000,000 pounds, and only 210,000,000 pounds aro raiscu nt, nomer Tho answor comes like tho bleat of a thousand flocks, "Boforo clothes, or blankets, or carpets tako freo whiskey." But ssys an honorable rccusaht Re publican from Minnesota: "Worthier, better and justcr it seems to my mind would it be to givo our people, tho tolling masses, cheaper food cheapor fuel, orteaper clothlnR, and cheaper shelter, cheaper because to- leased from tho heavy and unnecessary urn-uen ot high-tariff taxes." "Pshaw!" says tho hido bound pro tcctionist, "thoso articles must remain taxed to vindicate the American svs tern." This system has as its genius tree whiskey. A taxpayer inqulros'of you: "Have not tho American pcoplo paid in sixty years over 820,000,000, 000 in the hopo of getting goods cheaper by and by. after tho infants have attained their maturity? What, my Kopublican brother, will you now dot" Tho brother answers, "Freo whis key." "Has invention done anything for us! asks the impoverished moehamc, "What do you show us as tho result of our American genius for a century in meohaniosl The answer corars: "Wo tender. yon the worm lit tho still, tho finest in vention of tho devil. It may take away your brains and impoverish your fami lies; but protection must standi We offer you untaxed, cheap, freo whis key!" Another inquirer asks, "Why do vou not tako the tax off my coat of 'reversiblo nap'" Tho answor comes: "Protection first, but always freo whiskey." An old lady of WoBt Virginia asks with anxiety, "Why must I pay CO cents in addition to every dollar for tho crockery from which I drink my sassafras teat" "Ah!" says tho protectionist, "is not whiskey better than teat" A scries of questions and answers might bo fired off in the following or der : "Are you goint; to allow that re duction proposed by tho Mills bill from 47 per cent, duty to 40 on car potst'' "No, but we will repeal tho tax on cigarettes for your young boys, and add freo whiskey." "Wont you support that reduction of 10 per cent, on cotton goods?" ' "iTu, ui'.t i wouia cove to lower the whiskey tax." "Won't you reduce tho tax on cas tor oil below 194 per cent its present rate!" "No, I won't condescend .to help anybody but those who want the cost of whiskey reduced." "Please help us reduce tho tax on cheap woolen cloth from 89 per cent, to 40 per cent., as Mills proposes will yon nott" "No; I do not want to engago in anything else tiil I havo taken the tax of ninety cents a gallon from whiskey." "Wo aro making a last effort to re iluco the duty on wool hats from 54 per cent. Cheap hats. Won't you help ust" "No, sir; tho Republican platform doesn't say anything about cheap hats. It docs advocato taking tax from whiskey, and I stand by the platform.'' "Tho worsted goods for my family is taxed 68 per cent. Help me pull that down to 40 per cent, will you nott" "No, Sir; lqt yonr worsted goodn go to grass! Whisky is more than a dol lar a gallon. I want to tako tho ninety-cent gallon tax off of it." "Now, ray friend, the Mills bill pro poses to take eleven and one-half mill ions off of supar; won't you help us to pass itt" "No for it don't propose to cheapen whiskey one cent." "It makes salt free. Won't you fa vor thalt" "Is salt whiskoyt Salt ain't in our platform." "Jt mikes tho tin, of whioh our tin stove vo-uel-i and cans, and roofs aro mado, free; won't you givo us that?" "Tin is not in the platform; whiskey is." "It makes lumber for our homos to keep us warm free. Won't you fa vor that!'' "No. 1 want to legislate to warm the inner man, not the outer one. (Jive us free whisky." When these questions are answered let me read as a summing up to the gentleman what was said by an old farmer friend of mine in Iowa. Ho had evidently been pursuing Sydney Smith on taxation: I neyer wore any clothes that wore not increased in price by this polioy of making an almshouse of every possible factory. lined to rise on Sunday morning from my humble cot in a log farm-hou-e, throwing off the bed clothes taxed 40 to 100 por cent., eat my taxed breakfast from dishes taxed 45 per cunt, on a table cloth taxed 40 per cent, and when the S ibbath bell taxed 35 per cent, sounded its inviting notes, I tK)k my bible taxed 25 per cent, and went to tiio church built ol lumber taxed 20 per cunt., aud there in a Sunday-school pong book taxed 25 per cent, (and all these taxes paid to tho objects of my charity, not to the iioveruiuem;, I read: jar out uportlho prarlo JIow many children dwell Who nem read tho Wble Nor hear tho Sabbath belli Great laughter and applause. What is the relief my old farrw friend receives from you and platform? "Freo whiskey." you Does this give comfort to his fami ly, his pin He, or his soul? xmow, you gentlemen want to go among tno men, women, and children ol tins country ami sa: "Wo will uot tako tho tax off of eheap clothing, cheap lumber, cheap food, but we will tako tho tax off of whiskey, to make it eh an aud com nion, and more hurtful to houl and body.'' Is not that an inspiring issuo for a pany ol moral elevation? Oh, gentlimaii, it is tho old, old story.

Three shorl. blissful months had passed over tho heads of Callithumplan W. Magnnler and his brido, and not a cloud had dimmod tho brightcoss of tiicir domestic sky, Tlio angel ol poaco hovered over thoir housohold its full ten hours n day, aud the crl kct ol oanmihial joy chirped contently about tholr hcarthstono tho rest of tho time. Thoro was nothing tho proud young huBhand thought a task if it gratified tho slightest wish of his heart's idol or brought a smile to her lovely face. Time and again ho had rlson in tho dead of tho night to drive some low spirited cat off tho premises or tobatho lila head in rosewater or diluted carbo lic add If tho odor of tho cigars smok ed in his down town oflico during tho tho day was found to havo liugored about him. Tho Fourth of July had como and gone. With bloodshot eyes Callith umpian W. Magrudor But at breakfast trying with unsteady hand to lift a cup of coffco to his lips. "Darling," Ban tho young wife, ob serving for tho first time that hor hus band appoared indisposed, "what is tho matter with you? Aro you ill?" "I I'm rather rocky this morning, Elllcda," ho responded, "hut It will pass. I shall be allright again." "Callithumplan," rejoined tho wifo with that tender anxiety that leads woman Heaven bless her to minister to a sick man by trying to stuff him with food, "won't you have some eggs and a larger picoo of steak!" "Elfleda," was tho reply m ho put up a trembling hand to ward off tho prof fered consolation, "I shall havo to tell you what tho trouble is. It will come out sooner or later at tho Coroner's in quest. You slept well last night, of course?" "Certainly." "Oveicomo by tho excitement of tho day aud tho disturbed slumbers of the night boforo your sleep was sound aud dreamless as that of a tired ohild. You heard no noise down cellar iu the mlddlo of tlfo'night?" "I did not, Callithumpian," replied Elfleda", turning pale with apprehen sion. "Well, I did. It aroused me from a restless and unquiet sleep, anil, without waking you, I dressed myself quietly, seized a heavy cane and stole softly down-stairs. I found a man in tho cellar do not start, Elfleda, Ho was a little, dried np, withered, insignifi cant sneak thief, not half so dangerous as a setting hen. He was helping himself to your finest canned fruit. I lifted the little ras jal out of tho cellar with tho toe of my shoe." "I am glad nothing worse happened, my love. But why are you bo un nerved! It is all over now." "No, it is not all over!" exclaimed tho husband, as ho looked off into va cancy with a hollow-eyed despairing gaze; "remorse is left!" "Remorse?'' "Yes, bitter, gnawing, agonizing remorse! Listen! Beforo 1 kicked the thief out I looked about for some means of inflicting a punishment upon bim that he would remember and a temptation from the Evil One .came in to my mind. On a plate upon one of the hanging shelves was something yon had prepared, with 'your own hands "Yes, I remember, it was a pudding I mado my self. vVhy " "Elrleda," said tho husband, hoarse ly, as he looked 'at her" in stony de spair; "I made him eat that pudding!'' Chicago Tribune. " Photographs of Lightning. Tho Royal Meteorological Society are appealing to photographers, both professional and amateur, to take ad vantage of the present state of the weather to obtain photographs of lightning. Last season they received sixty impressions of lightning flashes, taken in various parts of Europe an ' America, but the information thus gained, whilo most interesting, was not sufficient for nny trustworthy de ductions to bo .drawn from it. All that can bo conTidtiitly asserted is that the popular idea of tho form of forked lightning is entirely eirorneous. Tho mo-it typical forms are as follows: i . ... I ! l . - . 1 I l i) Hireuui uuvuiug, pisiin, uruau, rather smooth streak ot light; (2) mil lion ligb.ning, when the flash keeps in one general direction, nut the lino is ssnuos, bending from sido o side in a very irregular manner; (3) ramified lightning, in which part of the flash' appears .to branch oti from tho main Btreak like tho fibres from tho root of a tree. (4) meanderiut; lightning, in which the flash appears to meander about in the air without any definite course, and form small irregular loops; (5) beaded or chapletted lightning, in which bright beads appear in a general whilo streak. In photographing light ning, a rapid plate and ordinary rapid lens, with full aperture, aro left uncov- red for a short time at night during a thunderstorm. Tho focus is arranged for a dh-tant object, am), if possible, some point of laudecape is included to give tno position ot the horizon, it this is not possible, then the top of the picturo is marked. A single lens is prefered to a doublet, in order that there may bo no possibility of a second mago being propucul by reflection betwoon two portions of the lens. for a somewhat similiar reason it is recommended that tho sensitive film should be on paper instead of glass. l ho society will be very pleased it copies of lightning photographs bo sent to them at 30 Great Georgo Street, Westminister, together with any available particulars as to tho direction in which tho camera was pointed, tho state of the weather, acd tho like.
