From the Philadelphia ItecQrd. Ex-Governor McKtuley is now free to push his claim as tho logical choice of his party as its candidate for the presi dency. There is no denying he is the logical nominee. To desert him would be tantamount to the desertion of the principle of which tho McKinley law was tho clearest assertion ever ventured upon. It covered "protection for the sake of protection" by the establls' - incut of prohibitive duties. This was done under the constitutional cloak of taxation for revenue. But in the provi sion for the payment of bounties out of I the fodoral treasury to favored indus tries all pretense of constitutional war rant was abandoned. The right of tho government to take the property of one citizen and pay it over to another citizen as a gratuity undor cover of the taxing power, was for the first time assorted In its nak 1 atrocity. This is the essence of tli doctrine of protection; and McKinlcy is entitled to whatever pro -e leu • th championship of such a principle ma carry with it.

HOUSE AND SENATE Pension Appropriation Bill Calls for $141,325,820. Two Ohangei Mad* by It In Exist ing Laws—Senator Morgan As satis Senator Sherman In a Long Speech—Mr. Kyle's Resolution Favoring the Cuban Insurgents. Washington, Jan. 14. —In the house the pension appropriation bill for the liscal year ending June 30, 1897—the first of the general appropriation bills reported—was taken up in the com mittee of the whole. It appropri ates $141,325,820, which is some $30,000 less than the amount carried by the last bill and about the same amount below the estimates. W. A. Stone, ! rep., Pa., explained the bill and the two changes made by it in existing law 6, which were to make a pension granted date from the time of the first \ application without regard to inter- ! vening rejections, and limiting to SSOO the income which dependent widows ! may receive and yet be eligible to a pension. Mr. Graff, rep.. 111., gave no tice of an amendment making a pension a vested right, and attacked the pres ent policy. Mr. Bartlett, dera., N. Y., opposed any further extension of the pension system. Without disposing of j the bill the committee rose and the house adjourned. In rhe Senate. Senator Morgan, dem., Ala., de livered a two hours' speech in the sen ate on the house bond bill and the freo silver substitute for it reported from the finance committee. Mr. Morgan assailed bitterly the course of Mr. Sher man, rep., 0.. both as senator and as secretary of the treasury in hostility to silver as currency on a parity with gold. When he resumed his seat, the floor was taken by Mr. Butler, pop., N. C., who will speak on the bill this afternoon. A concurrent resolution empowering and directing the presi dent of the United States to receive a deputation from the Cubau revolution ists and to extend be'ligerent right* to them, was introduced by Mr. Kyle, pop., 8. I)., and referred to the com mittee on foreign relations. A rather amusing colloquy between Mr. Hill, dem., N. Y., and the two North Carolina senators, Mr. Pritchard, rep., and Mr. Butler, pop., took place apropos of s sarcastic remark of Mr. Hill a few days ago to the effect that although the two North Carolina senators were elected at the same time and by tho same combination, their statements were inconsistent, one of them claim ing that the state was in favor of high protective duties, while the other asserted that it was in favor of tariff reform. Mr. Hill declared that it would be utterly impossible iu the next presidential electlou for either of the two great parties to gratify the fickle constituency of North Carolina. KOHL MIT ST DIE. N'*w Jcracy HoMi'ti of I'ardoua R. fimc* to Iliter IV re. Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 14.—Tha board of pardons last evening refused to interfere in the sentence of Henry Kohl, convicted of the murder of his cousin, Joseph Preinel, on the meadows, near Newark, June 15. 1804. Immedi ately afl.ei the decision of the board dov. Werts issued the death warrant. Kohl's rase has attracted much atten tion, as his counsel carried it through all the higher courts in this state and tinally to the supreme court of the United States, where a decision was rendered on Dee. 23 affirming the de cision of the state courts. KIDDED HIS MOTHEID Harrison Carelessly Handled a Oun with Fatal Ilesnlt. Brantford, Ont., Jan. 14.—Robert Harrison, a machinist, aged 20, acci dentally shot and killed his mother last night while she was reading a newspaper. Harnson in taking a gun which is supposed to have been at full rock from the wall carelessly pointed the muzzle towards his mother when the gun went off, th<3 shot penetrating her ej r e and blowing her head nearly to pieces.

SCARING AUNT AIIBIE. iiy j. 1,. uAßnorit A ISS ABnTE TKARK was a short, bust lingr little elderly v(tTf^Y^h > with a de "*. termincd air, and • was known to pou ch ar a cter. She a visiting nt her brother's house in :lie country, and had been unwise t uough to Ijoast, in the presence of her two nephews, liert and that, she "wasn't afraid of anything." Aud now liert and intended to put her courage to a test. This was with her full knowledge; she had said that they might do so if they were willing to suffer tlie conse quences. They hud heartily it This, und declared themselves quite willing to run all risks. Aunt Abbie's list of brave deeds in cluded an actual encounter with a bur glar found under her bed. She had on this occasion produced n little pocket pistol from her bureau drawer and kept the niuu a prisoner under the bed until help came in response to her calls, and he was captured. So the boys gave np trying to hide under her bed and pre tend that they were burglars. She hud once killed a large rattle snake at a picnic, when every other woman present was screaming or fa int ing. Snakes were therefore of no use. Moreover, she would go long dis tances alone on the darkest night; she would go down cellar or up into t.he attic nt miduvght without a light, and without feaiv Bhe had been known to walk through a burying ground alone at 12 o'clock on a dark and stormy night. She had once slept alone in a house which was reported to be haunted, and had come forth in tlie morning declar ing that she had "slept like a top." She was not afraid even of a mouse. Pert and laiwrence. felt that they would have to exercise nM their ingenuity to get up HU.V thing that would startle Aunt Abbie. Hut at last they hit upon a plan. Tlirir aunt had lived all of her life in a city, seldom visiting the country. TShe knew almost nothing at all aboutcoun try sports. Some grotesque thing that she had never seen might frighten her. It was in the full of the year, and Pert and Lawrence finally decided to try the effect of a "pumpkin ghoat" .in Miss Abbie. A "pumpkin ghost," sometimes called a jack-o'-lantern, is a pumpkin hollowed out, with holes to represent eyes, nose and a grinning mouth cut in one side of it. When a lighted candle is placed inside u punip \in cut in this way, and the pumpkin is fastened lo the. end of a long pole, the 'iVect is startling enough on a dark night. And the uighl was as "dark as a stack ■>f black cats" when Pert and Lawrence prepared to sally forth with their pumpkin ghost. They proposed to hoist it l>cfore Miss A blue's window, ind then make all sorts of dismal noises. They were quite sure she hud £| igggg | DOWN TITKY COMB. never seen a pumpkin ghost, and prob ably she had never heard of one. They slyly got the pumpkin ready 41 It Started with a Cold." So said one of the greatest of doc tors, and he was right. All throat and lung diseases begin with a cold. There is only one way to cure them. Something must be taken to quickly remove the sore ness, and inflammation. For years the greatest scientists and physicians sought fyr some discovery and at last it was found in the form of ENGLISH Dr. Acker's English Remedy pre vents the dangerous after-effects of a deep-seated cold.

In the evening they went to their room, and ostensibly to bed, aa usual, at half-past nine. No one in the house knew of their plan but themselves, r.nd they pro posed to slip out of their room and out of the house without arousing anyone. The roof of a shed kitchen sloped from the window-sills of their room to within about nine feet of the ground. They decided to climb quietly out of a window, slip down over the kitchen roof to the caves, and drop lightly to the ground. Then they would get the pumpkin from its place of concealment, light the candle, and, as liert said, "the fun would begin." Bert wan to carry the pumpkin, ana he intended to wrap himself in a wheel from his bed to add to the [rightfulness of his appearance. Lawrence was to do most of the groaning; but. in the end one groaned about as much us the other. Tli-3 night was very dark and unusual ly cold, even for lute October. It had rained a little early in the evening, and the kitchen roof was wet. Bert and Lawrence shivered as tliey climbed out, one behind the other, fully dressed, Bert- carrying his sheet rolled up under his coat. They shivered more and more the longer they stayed out. Bert was in advance of Lawrence when they climbed out upon the roof. No sooner were they fairly on the wet and almost icy roof than they began to slide down much faster than they had expected or desired, and they found it impossible to slacken their speed or to lessen the noise they were making in their hurried, somewhat rolling de scent. Down they Blid, vainly grasping at the roof or trj'ing to stay their progress by bracing their heels on the shingles It was of no avail . ."Look out for the rain-water barrel," shrilly whispered Lawrence, when they were within three feet of the edge of the roof. But it was too late to look out for any ilanger. Under the eaves was a huge barrel, or tank, set to catch rain water. It partly took the place of a cistern, sinoo it was large enough to hold sev eral ordinary barrels of water. It was also quite large enough to hold three or four boys the size of the two Trask boys; and now, although It was full of icy water to the very top hoop, it w*,s suddenly called upon to receive Bert and Lawrence within its depths. Down they come, Bert shooting swift ly over the edge of the roof and Law rence sliding as swiftly after hiin. Both landed with mighty splashes and loud screeches in the tank of water! Bert struck In a sitting position nnd .vent down entirely beneath the water, .vhile Lawrence went In only up to his *ars. The ground sloped a little away from the tank; and, ns the boys had both 'anded heavily on the side of the tank next to the slope, tiiuy overthrew the big receptacle and were swept out on the ground iu oue mighty wave that Duried them beneath it for an instant. All this made a great deal of noise. Lights appeared suddenly in the house and Mr. Trask came quickly to the kitchen door. "Who's that? What's the troubl* out here?" he asked, sharply. "Aniorer me quickly, or I*ll shoot!" Uis wife and AUo't Abbie stood be TORTURED WITH CATARRH. "A life of misery." The worst caoes of chronic catarrh have been and can bo cured by Dr. Acker's English Remedy. It effectually cures sore throats ar.d restores the sens- s of taste and smelt.

"It's—only—us!" gasped Rert. stil ejecting water from his mouth, whih his teeth chattered. "'Us!* repeated Mr. Trask. "Well who's *us?' and what—why. if it isn't Rert and Lawrence!" "Why, they are dripping wet al ! over!" cried Mrs. Trask. "Why, boys!" exclaimed Aunt AMrie. "What does It all mean ?" demanded Mr. Trask, In a tone that admitted of nothing but the simple truth in reply. "Why—we—we—wanted to scare— auntie," said I*awrence,with chattering teeth, "and we fell into the rain water barrel!" "Wanted to scare me?" cried Aunt Abbie. "Well, that's a great way to do It—to go to plunging into a tank of ice cold water with your clothes on at al most midnight. But lam scared scared 'most to death lest you take a dreadful cold! Oct out of those wet clothes und Into bed just as soon as ever you can, while I mix you up a hot drink. Wanted to scare me' Humph!" "But we did scare you, after ail." said the boys; and to this assertion they clung ever afterward. — Youth's Com panion. G. A. R. COMMANDER Ju. S. Dean, Gad. Grant Post, Kouilout, N. Y.
