When a Democrat, or a l'opulist uses •uch language as Representative Caldcr head, a good Kansas Republican, did before the house banking and currency committee, of which he is a member, certain Republican editors invariably call it "anarchistic raving." The text of Mr. Calderhe&d's remarks was the bill naming thirteen American million aires, among them Andy Carnegie and Phil Armour, as incorporators of the "International American Bank," with authority to establish eight branch banks in other countries. This bill or a similar one has been before this com mittee in several congresses, and it was only when an attempt was made to push it through the committee when Mr. Cul derhcad spoke against it, in part as fol lows: "The whole United States is in a condition of unrest. Tho underhalf of the country believes that it is injured, and injured largely by the power of ag gregated wealth. They actually believe it. They believe it to such an extent that large areas of the country need nothing but a leader of ability to give u> an insurrection. That is tho truth, and that is the political storm that will fol low any attempt, direct or indirect, to incorporate the men named here into a private hank with a capital of millions of dollars, and the plea that it is done for the benefit of international commerce will not answer that mob—for it is a mob—which only needs a commanding general to lead it. If the leader should happen to have the military instinct, it would mean civil war." In a speech made by Pension Commis sioner Murphy, in answer to resolutions commending his administration of tin pension bureau, presented by a com mittee from two Pennsylvania G. A. R. Posts, Mr. Murphy told for the first time iu public, the instructions given him by President Cleveland when he appointed him commissioner of pensions. What ever may be one's opinion of many of his other policies, it is difficult to see 1 how any man could have outlined in a few words a more just and patriotic pension policy than President Cleveland did when he said to Commissioner Murphy: "Mr. Murphy. I think you | know my idea of the pension bureau and tho pension system. They are just these: In claims coming up for the ac tion of the bureau, where you find the case of a worthy soldier who served his country faithfully in her hour of danger, you will he lenient with him and give him the benefit of a reasonable doubt. At settling the claims of the widows and orphans, you will act in the same ! manner, but waste no sympathy on the unworthy." Another billion dollar congress! Al though the exact figures cannot be given until the last appropriation bill has been passed, it is already known, and admit ted by the Republican chairman of the committee on appropriations of both house and senate, that the total appro priations will not only exceed one billion dollars, but that they will go enough be yond that amount to break the high water record made by the previous bil lion dollar Republican congress by an advance of thirty or forty million dol lars. This, too, In the face of the gener al Republican howl about the insuffi ciency of revenue provided by the pres ent tariff bill. There is little doubt that tho Republican leaders have al lowed the Appropriations to pile up. al though apparently lighting for economy by shutting out hills even for the smal lest public building, in order to make the deficit big enough to excuse the tariff bill they are engaged in concoct ing. They have: made a success of the appropriations, but when the people get a whack at them iu the next congression al election, they will find how their excuse has been accepted. Represen tative Savers, of Texas, who was chair man of the committee on appropriations iu the last house, made a good speech, attacking the extravagance of this con gress, while the sundry civil bill was be fore the house. Senator Quay is reported to have a letter written by Mr. Ila una, before McKinley's nomination, demanding that the Pittsburg Iron and Steel Manu facturers put up a large sum of money to be used in McKinley's behalf, and to have threatened to make it public if the McKinley crowd attempt to get too gay with him. Quay is now in Pennsylvania, where he went to help his son "Dick" out in the libel suit which has been thrown on his shoulders by tho publisher of a Pittsburg paper. It should be placed to the credit of Mr. Cannon, chairman of the house com mittee on appropriations, that he re ported adversely the resolution approp riating SSOO for the erection of a stand for the use of senators and representa tives and their families on Inauguration day, on the ground that senators and representatives should pay for seats, just as other people do, if they wish to sit down to view the inaugural parade. Notwithstanding the amendments made to propitiate the opposition, Sena tor Sherman, who was iu charge of the arbitration treaty, was compelled to bow to tho inevitable and agree to postpone further consideration of the treaty until the next session. It. is said by some investigative indi vidual that taken the world over three women wear false teeth to every two men. It would be interesting to know why this is, if so. More men make sewers of their mouths with tobacco, drink, etc., than do women, and as n rule men are more cureless of their teeth than are women, nnd yet there is good reason to believe the above assertion. Maryland has fallen into I' ve with several other states in the matter of institutes for the education of the farm ers. The work is to begin this winter with a legislative appropriation of $3,000, which is regarded as sufficient to provide for the holding of oncor more institutes in each county in t he state. Alabama's governor recommends that pardons be conditioned upon good be havior, the unexpired portion of the term of sentence to be served in Qic evmt. of a subsequent conviction ot ci Abraham Lincoln wants the post* mastership at Mound City. Kan., but, if there is anything in a name, lie ought to be a candidate for something bigger. But. if there is anything in his name, what is lie doing in Kansas? A Pennsylvania man has had to pay $14,000 for telling a girl he loved her and then marrying another girl. Now you can't convince him that there is any truth in the adage that talk is cheap. Nimrod was a great King as well as a mighty hunter, but his fame has rest ed entirely on the latter qualilieation, for 4.000 years and more. "The beaiins o' this remark lays in the application on it." "A Day at Ills Desk." Ex-President Harrison has written of "A Day With the President at His Desk'' for the March Ladies 1 Home Journal. The article is said to be singulary inter esting in the detail with which it de scribes the wearisome routine of the president. It is said that General Har rison, in this article, has delivered him self with great directness and vigor re lative to the annoyances that are visited upon a chief executive by persistent office seekers, and he suggests a unique plan, by which the president's burdens in that direction could he greatly ligh tened, and he bo enable to devote more attention to more important matters. A feature of tin? article that will have a timely interest to those ambitions to serve the country under the incoming administration, describes very fully how the president makes appointment to of fice. "A Day Willi the President at IBs Desk" is unique in being the first, time that the daily life of the president has been described by one who has Hilled tho exalted office. Articles upon the social and domestic life of the president by General Harrison will follow in succes sive issues of the Journal.

There's a great deal to say at the close o? the day. And so much to talk over with mother; There's a comical sight or a horrible plight. Or a ball game, or something or other; And she'll laugh with Larry, and sigh with Harry, And smile to our heart's desire At a triumph won or a task well done— When sitting down there by the fire. Then little she'll care for the clothes that we tear, Or the hatoc we make on her larder; For the toil and the strife of our every day iffe ' She will love us a little bit harder; Then our lady she is, and her knights wf would be, And iter trust doughty deeds will In spire: For we long then anew to be generous am' true— When mother sits down by the fire. —Martha Burr Banks, in N. Y. Independent THEY ABDUCTED THE BAND. And Spoilod tho Danco Given by the Rival Set. The returned Cow Puncher set down his cup of black coffee after he had taken t.he first sip, and pursed up his tnoutli into an expression of scorn. "SJop," lie said, briefly. The Poet, made a gesture of protest. "Oh, 1 dare say it's strong* enough for you!" said the Cow Puncher. "What?" "The coffee." "It was your expression to which ! objected." "When I said tho stuff was—" "Spare us a repetition!" interrupted the Poet. "Well, I suppose my imagery is rath er too epic for you. So would the coffee be that 1 had In mind—l wish I iiad it in this cup as well! —when J spoke. U-m-m!" And the Cow Puncher closed his eyes with the look of a satisfied epicure. "They call this stuff 'black' coffee," he went on, rousing htansclf. "About black enough for tlie second or third year of widowhood, I should say. You ought to taste the coffee we used to have down in Texas 1 It was so strong that rt ate the enamel off the cups." "That's some more of your epic im agery," laughed the Hoys' Own Story Writer. "Pretty strong coffee, evidently," re marked the Poet, "but it doesn't seem lo have been able to affect brass." The Cow Puncher carelessly knocked the ashes from the end of his cigarette and regarded the Poet out of the tail of his eye, but "Texas is a great state" was all that he said. "It was two years ago," he resumed, after a pause, "that we gave our famous dance, upon which glorious occasion we ever/lastingly scooped the rival cow boys at tlic other end of the town." "I thought you lived oav a ranch," in terposed the Poet, with deep suspicion. "Did you think I spent throe years out there and sow only one view? Bur then you don't understand tlie lives of men of action, 1 suppose, and I mustn't be too hard on you." "About that dance?" asked the Boys' Own. "Ah, that was a great event!" ex claimed the Cow Puncher, lighting a fresh cigarette. "You see. Hhe idee originated with OUT end of the town, and naturally we felt that we had a right to it.. Anybody would have felt so. Anybody, that is, except our deadly rivals. No sooner had t.he news of our scheme got out than they began to lay their plans for a howdy-do, and on the same niglit as ours, mind yon!" "What difference did tlhat make?" growled the Poet. "Well, it made just this difference: I'here wasn't, room in that town for two balls, and everybody knew it. It la} between us lo get the crowd. We couldn't both get it, and neither of us could get half a crowd. Tilings don't iro that way out there. Everybody goes to the place that puts up the best, show and the other one doesn't have a cor poral's guard. We knew this, so we had taken care to engage the only music in tho town before we let a word of our plans get out- This music consisted of a fiddle (cracked) pb.ved by a fiddler (who was also cracked), seconded by a wheezy melodeon which had away of going off into a fit of gasps when you .vnre most depending on it. "It was a great thing for us to have secured the music, because that, we knew, would prove n terrible handicap to our rivals. 'Buoy wouldn't be able to put up anything better than one of heir own men who played the mouth organ, and didn't amount to much even •. i that, inasmuch as lie had only one 'ting. We felt pretty jubilant, 1 tell \ ou; and the other fellows looked cor respondingly blue. But that didn't last long. One day we heard a startling rumor. We could scarcely believe our raises, but ample proof was soon fur nished lis that the dreadful tale was true. Our rivals had hired a Mexican band from n town about 50 miles away! "That settled our cake! We liekf a consultation at once and canvassed the possibilities, but we bad to admit that they were as good as hopeless. We ini- I mediately enlarged the scope of the sup | |er we had promised. Of course there ; was to have been black coffee—that was I what reminded me of the dance— nnd whisky and various other things, and ! we promptly sent out an emissary to , spread the news n the town that our ! eating programme had been doubled. All the time, though, we knew it was a | forlorn hope. I "You see, It was this wnv: The feminine element of our community was limited. Partners were at. n premium, even if every woman in the place turned out, and where the women went, there you could be dead sure the men would go, too. Well, the women wouldn't hesitate a minute if it came to a choice between a little better sup per aud a good deal better music. We knew that, and we felt as if we might ns well lay our hands down and give uj the game. There was a fellow there from Kentucky, though, and the day after the announcement of the import ed bund came out he strolled in at sup per time and threw his hat into the corner with one of his most effective blue-glass-country salutes. We re turned the compliments of the evening and he sat down at the table. "'How's the pahty comin' on?' he asked. "We groaned. " 'Oh,' he said, 'you all ain't got moh'n enough ingenuity to suhcomveut a kitten! If one o' you gentlemen 'll be good enough as to place himself undah my directions I give yo' my honah that we'll have the only ball in this heah town!' "Well, perhups we didn't jump at the offer, and, after he'd picked out his man, we made him tell whut his plun was. I'll tell you how we carried it out. The next morning we all went out looking very gay and cheerful; quite u contrast to the glum set we had been. Whenever anybody gave us the razzle dazzle, begging your pardon (the apol ogy was in the l'oet's direction) we — well, we gave them the ha! ha! and looked so blamed sujx-rior that the town couldn't make out what was up. When we ran across one of the ladies whom we had invited to come—not that we had omitted to ask any of them— we were as dashing as we knew how to be. We wanted to know how many dances we were going to have with 'em and all that. Yhey couldn't make us out quite, but they gave us to under stand that our name was Dennis be cause, to be sure, of the lovely music that the other gentlemen were import ing for the occasion. Iladn't we heard of it? "We laughed at this; laughed loud and long, much to their bewilderment; and finally we found breath enough tc n-sk them if they really believed in that fake story of an imported band. Oh. sure they did! At which we laughed again, and then pitied them. Finally, when we had them at the proper point, we swore to them that no band was coining, that we knew it, and we were willing to stake all our future chances us entertainers 011 it. Well, they hedged a little then, promised to come to our party if the band didn't turn up, and that was all we asked. Our Ken tucky cavalier had agreed to see that the baiul did not turn up." "How did he fix that?" asked the Boys' Own, and his tone spoke evident regret that this theme wasn't nil that could be desired for a story for the young, else could he have made copy of it. "Easy! easy!" said the Cow Puncher, carelessly. "It was the simplest thing in the world. We learned that the bond was to arrive on away train which passed our town at nine o'clock in the evening. About seven o'clock the Ken tuekian and his companion got 011 their horses and rode quietly out of town. They want to another village, ten miles or so down the road, where tilie train was due about 8:30. They don't run lightning expresses for the local traffic out that way. When the train caine in our two fellows boarded it, found the band promptly, greeted them with a jovial welcome, told them it was their station, and hauled them off ajiil into a big wagon which they had all ready there. The Mexicans didn't really know where they were, and the Kentuckiaai fooled them completely, lie and the other fellow got on their horses and started with the wagcm out on the road to our town. At first they thought they would start in the opposite direc tion, but they didn't want to miss any more of the ball than was necessary, so they took their own road. 'When tliey were two miles out of town the wagon broke down. My! that Keut.uekian was a sly devil! He worked it just right. When the breakdown oc curred they made a show of examining the wagon and took the occasion to remove several other bolts besides the one they had 'fixed* originally. Then they told the Mexicans that they, our fellows, would have to ride 011 to a place near by and get something to fix the wagon with. They told the band to 'just sit there quietly' until they came back, and with flhnt they spurred up their horses and were off like the wind for home and the datnoe. They got there almost as soon as the crowd did." "Then you got 'he crowd?" "Well, .did we got the crowd ?" repeat ed the Cow Puncher, wagging his liead with pride. "You never saw such a landslide as there was when that train came in witliout bringing* any. band!. The party simply melted away at the other place, and it wasn't five minutes after the train had gone out O# Bight before I was dancing my first waltz with a—well, it may be that time and distance enhance Veir charms, and any way I see a gleam ; m the Poet's eye, and 1 know he'll mahc copy out of my dam sel of the donee, otnd I won't have it.
