A Counter Proposition.
A Memphis young lady who is very
fond of her sister's little child, a boy
of li or 3 years, who is visiting her
now. was trying yesttM'day to get him
to let her "fix him up" to have his
photograph taken. She gol her curl
ing tongs and was trying to coax him
to let her curl his hair. But with true
boyish disgust at the idea of having
his like a girl's, he re
fused '/> submit to the process. She
insisted, however, and offered him
every kind of bribe, but in every in
stance hfc refused to allow her to do
what, she wished, and finally, becom
ing tired of her attempt to get him to
submit, he sat down, crossed his legs
and looked up at hei 1 cry seriously
and said: "Auntie. I teil you what I'll
do. 1 won't take a dollar to let you
curl my hair, but I'll give you a dollar
if you just go away and let ray hair
alone." —Memphis Scimitar.

PRODUCER CONSUMED
HOW WALL STREET LIVES ON
LABOR OF THE WEST.
The CaplluliHt of tlio Kant la Always
Anxious to Know About the Western
Crops This Class Heaps tlio Ileal
Harvest.
The western visitor in New York,
Philadelphia. Washington or Boston
is always asked the question. "How
are crops out west?" He generally re
gards this question as a mere observa
tion, calculated to make talk, some
thing like that on the weather. But he
little realties the importance to the
people of the East of the crop condi
tion of the West, writes ex-Congress
man Hiijrichseu in the Illinois Demo
cratic Press Bulletin.
A few years ago when asked this
question by a Washington capitalist, 1
answered him and then politely asked
the condition of the crops in the East.
He seemed surprised and said: "We
have no crops." This started a train of
thought in my mind. I had begun to
wonder what they did in the East. 1
found that they had money and thrift,
and that we, of the West, furnished
the wherewithal upon which they fed.
How is it, then, that in fhe course of
years, their stock of money grows
greater, while ours grows less, and yet.
they get our wheat, our corn, our pork
and our beef, in fact, everything we
raise except what is absolutely neces
sary for our own subsistence? Their
money makes money for them. The
debts we owe them makes the interest
charged large enough to overbalance
the farm production.
The advance in the price of the gold
dollar and the constant fall in the
price of other articles makes it im
possible for us to pay this debt, and
year by year we find ourselves grow
ing poorer and the money lenders of
the East growing richer.
The large fortunes held in money
roll over and over like the snow ball,
increasing in size, absorbing every
thing in touch year by year, while the
great mas 3of the people growing
poorer and poorer, find but little satis
faction in tho thought that the country
as a whole is growing richer, and f .ha:
the riches are all in the pockets of the
men already rich. Is it any wonder,
then.that the moneyed ron of the East
are for a gold stan'Hrd, and should not
our people favor a rational increase of
the volume of our currency, which can
best be produced by the free and un
limited coinage of both silver and gold
at a ratio of 16 to 1?
M'KINLEY. THE MONARCH.
Like Robinson Crusoe, the gentle
man from Canton, Ohio, —not Canton,
China, please remember—is to be left
"monarch of all I survey." to accom
modate the political campaign now be
ing inaugurated to make him Emperor
of the outlying dependencies as well as
President of these United States. The
flat has gone forth, that is it is settled
by the President's fellow imperialists,
that he is to be left undisturbed in his
rule over the colonies, because the fir
ty-sixth congress is afraid to tackle the
question. As a Republican senatoi
said:
"If we were to legislate for tIK. Phil
ippines we would draw the fire of
the whole anti-expansion army of the
country. We can avoid that by re
maining quiet and leaving the Philip
pines as they are."
The cards are already out, that Is
to say, the letter heads of the depart
ment of "Our Colonial Possessions"
are printed, and the Q. M. G., the A. A.
G„ the A. G., and the Secretary or
War are daily practicing penmanship
on the virgin sheets, the Secretary of
War even using one of them to write
the house of representatives (of the
U. S.) asking it to provide additional
sergeauts for the Q. M. D. This es
tablishes a precedent, and we may
new expect imperialism to be on the
rampage, and it may not be long ere
the plebian American must give way
before the high and mighty Lord of
the colonial possessions. Faith,
though, what a come down it would be
if the American citizen should refuse
to pay the expenses of this almighty
.highness!
DRUMMERS' REPENTANCE.
They were a seedy lot, even their
Jokes were threadbare. The returning
Knights of the P.oa 1 happened oil
Bryan's train, after a four mouths'
trip away from home at one-half their
former sularies. doing the work of ten
men each, to enable the trusts to pay
large dividends and thus maiutain
prosperity. They were smoking
"Stogies" in the enforced absence ot
choice Partagas. and. sitting in the
smoker through the deprivation ot
Palace car perquisites, every one
thought deeply. At last, breaking
through the oppressive silence:
"Say. Blobbs, it strikes me that
thousands of us who worked for Mc-
Kinley aud honest money in 1896, are
working ourselves out of a job."
"That's about it," coincided Jobbs.
"I didn't know Bryan then. I just mer
him on the train for the first time.
How they played us for suckers. 1
thought Bryan wore his hair down his
back and talked through his hat. Boys,
I've found out something. Bryan suits
me."
"My size, exactly," confessed Nobbr*.
"What a lot of asses we were in 1596.
'Advance agents of prosperity.' that's
what they humbugged us with."
"Well, weren't we?" queried Slohbs.
"We gave our bosses all the prosper
ity, and there is nothing left for us. '
"That's just it." remarked llobbs.
"Our house had 160 men on the roau
<tnd I bad three States. Now there are
less than i hundred and I must worry
over eight States on split wages. I
was fool enough to vote for McKinley
In 1596, but—"
"Say no more," interrupted Gobbs,
with a waive of his hand. "We are all
with you. There isn't a sensible trav
eling man in the United States that
does not realize now what an ass he
was, shouting for 'McKinley and Pros
perity' in 1896. Where is it, boys? I
mean the prosperity; we've got McKin
ley all right enough.
"I am for Bryan, and everything he
represents. I want opportunities to
live and have a little surplus, we don't
get them with McKinley. Hurrah for
Bryan!"
All: "Hurrah for Bryan!"
EXPOSING THE FRAUD.
Senator Turner,in opposing the adop
tion of the Beveridge resolution in fa
vor of the retention of the Philippines
for all time, gives the imperialists a
point to consider that is very penetrat
ing.
The senator basis an objoction to the
retention of the Philippines upon the
logic of that central economic prin
ciple or the Republican party—protec
tion. The Kansas City Times, allud
ing to the senator's point, says: "Sen
ator Turner's contention cannot be rs
futed without the admission that the
Republican plea for a high tariff,which
that party lia3 been making for the
past thirty years, on the ground that it
is essential, in order to protect Ameri
can workingmen against the competi
tion of the pauper labor of other coun
tries, has been a delusion, a sham, a
false pretense and a campaign ruse, de
vised for the purpose of gold-bricking
the laboring classes of the country out
of their vote. He insists, as a matter
of fact too obvious to be clouded by
political sophistry, that, even if, as the
imperialists contend, the inhabitants
of these islands will, under a colonia!
system, have all the privileges of citi
zens of the United States for them
selves and their products, it will re
sult in the pauperizing of the labor of
this country, inasmuch as the 10,000,-
000 underpaid and underfed natives of
the archipelago will be pitted competi
tively against the artisan, the mechan
ic and laboring men of the United
States."
THE SALT TRUST.
An insignificant thing is salt, but It
is a staple and therefore fair gams for
the trusts to monopolize. Here it is as
set forth in the Evansville Courier:
"The National Salt Company is a
512.000,000 New Jersey corporation
formed in 1899. By ownership and
lease of factories, and by purchase of
product, it now controls about 90 pef
cent of our product of salt. It and the
smaller combinations, which it has ab
sorbed, have, since 1896, nearly doubl
ed the price of common salt to
many consumers in this countrj'. i f
has "dead rented" and closed many of
its plants and is now being prosecuted
in Ohio, because it has, for monopoly
purposes, bought and closed three or
four furnaces at Pomeroy. Ohio.
The officers of this trust and of the
United Salt company, the local Ohio
corporation, are mainly Standard Oil
people; in fact, this trust appears to
be an adjunct to the Standard Oil
trust. With such backing we may ex
pect it to do much during the next
few years to teach us the so-called
"Economic advantages of trusts."
DRIVEN TO DESPERATION,
The trusts and monopolies have a
way of getting around high prices
that the poor cannot touch. They sim
ply give a poorer article at a higher
price and continue their work of be
nevolence. This time wool aggravates
the trusts and they avoid the high
price of it in the following manner,
according to the Springfield Republi
can:
"The high price of wool is driving
manufacturers to the use of rags and
shoddy and cotton in the manufacture
of cloth to an exceptional degree, so
the trade papers say, and this is, of
course, what would be expected. Price 9
in tbe rag market are accordingly quite
as strong and buoyant as in tbe wool
market. As the general purchasing
power of the people has not increased
to such an extent as the prices of wool
and rags and shoddy, the result ot i!
all will be that the masses must wear
more adulterated woolen clothing than
usual and pay a higher price for the
same. We hope, however, that thli
will not increase the liability of the
people to colds and grip and pneu
monia. in accordance with a theory
advanced by the late David A. Wells."
PUZZLED.
Mr. McKinley is in danger of being
run over by the imperial band wagon
he undertook to drive through the
world's open door. Having got every
thing he wanted, like the child who
got hold of a wasp, he wishes he hadn't
got it. This time it is the question
of church property in the Philippines
and Puerto Rico. The President wants
to do the right thing, particularly on
the eve of his presidential campaign,
and therefore he desires to placate tha
Roman Catholics in regard to the dis
posal of this property. But, alas!
there are others who want him to do
the wrong thing. Hence he is puzzled,
very much embarrassed. He will b
damned if he does, and damned if ha
don't. It never yet has occurred to Mr.
McKinley to do the right thing always,
and having demonstrated his inability
to do anything but wabble, it is tiraa
for him to step out the way and let
the car of American progress mova
along on the lines it was intended to
run.
Tbe modern rule of civilization
seems to be to shoot and starve peopla
who haven't got any money.
"DIED GLORIOUSLY.
Knights-Errant of Journalism Who Met
Death at the Front.
Again the ranks of tho knights
errant of journalism have been broken
by death on the field of duty, George
Warrington Steevens, of the London
Daily Mail, has just died at Lady
smith. He was at his post when the
Boers invested the towu and shared,
the common lot of his companions.
Although a non-combatant, he en
dured all the privations of the siege,;
but succumbed to fever at a time when,
the relief of the beleaguered camp
seems to be assured. Now that ho is
dead, many a sage clubman in Pall
Mall who never had an idea that he
didn't filch from the newspapers musb
cease to begin his wise talks about'
the South African campaign with tho
words: "I see that Steevens says."
It was so when the American, Muc-
Gahan, showedKauffman andßnrnaby
the way to IChiva. And later, when
he describod, with a pen dipped in
his henrt's blood, the horrors of tho
Turkish massacres in Bulgaria, Lon
don listened, then as now. Mac-
Gahan's letters put a new face on tho
Eastern question. Though an Oriental
ist was then Premier of England and
sent a British fleet to the Dardanelles,
he dared not laud a man or fire a gun.]
Jnst as the American correspondent
had told the Bulgarians, amid tho
smouldering ruins of their homes at
Batak, the Czar did come and avenge
their wrongs. MaeGahan rode with
the Russian army up to the hour of
his death at San Stofauo. He breathed
his last in sight of the minarets of
Constantinojrle, and the immortal
SkobelelT was chief mourner at his
grave.
The brave O'Shea, of the London
Standard, lost his life in Egypt.
Halph Keeler, of the New York Tri
bune, was mysteriously killed at San
tiago during the Virginias campaign.
Many other heroes of journalism could
ho mentioned.
For years in the Grand Army it was
the custom at nightfall when the roll
was called to have the name of Latonr
d'Auvergue read off in order that the
sergeants of the Grenadiers might
salute and say: "Dead, 011 the field
of battle!" So in every newspaper
office to-day, when the name of Stee
vens is called let each working jour
nalist give the salute to the dead and
say: "Died gloriously at his post of
duty!"— Philadelphia Times.
Gladstone'* Self-Possession.
This faculty was strikingly mani
fested when, in the position of leader
of the House, Mr. Gladstone had to
write frequent letters to the Queen
giving his impressions as to public
business. These letters he often wrote
while sitting on the Treasury bench
after tho dinner hour, aud they some
times appeared to tax even his mental
resources. He wrote them in a small
and not very legible hand, and their
composition occupied a considerable
time. Sometimes he would pause for
a few minutes before finishing a half
written letter, and would occasionally
delete a word or two after reading
what he had already written. Iu no
duty did he seem to take such care,
aud keen observers often remarked
that he could more easily deliver a
long speech than write a letter to her
Majesty. While his mind was ap
parently absorbed in this work, ho
was at the same time listening to tho
speoches which were being delivered,
as was evidenced by tho fact that he
often jumped up to correct an oral state
ment or to explain some point in re
gard to the subject under discussion.

Pari* Plagued With Voracioti* ICni*.
Paris is suffering from a plague of
rats. Their ordinary resorts—the sew
ers—having been disturbed by the
work connected with the 1900 Exhibi
tion along the banks of the Seine, they
took refuge in the neighboring houses,
preferably the new ones. There are
now streets near the river where the
inhabitants are afraid to allow their
children to cross the garden or the
courtyard after dark.
The central markets are infested to
such nn extent that rat hunting has
been abandoned in despair. As soon
as dark sets in armies of rats attacks
the reserve provisions, to which they
have burrowed their way beneath the
masoury.
The cats, which are numerous at the
central markets, live on the best of
terras with the rats, aud they are seen
trotting about together.
American Bandolier* Adopted.
At the United Service Museum,
Whitehall, there will shortly bo on
viow one of new cartridge bandoliers
which are about to be supplied to our
troops iu South Africa. It "is the in
vention of au American, and was worn
by the American troops during the
Cuban war, when its efficiency was
tested with admirable results. It is
not made of leather, but is woven
throughout iu ono piece, and is of a
soft dust colored material, which is
not affected by either heat or damp.
In weight alone it offers considerable
advantage over the present regulation
belt, as it weighs only seven ounces,
aud, being pliable aud very easily ad
justed, it is far more comfortable to
wear, while the weight is more easily
distributed. It can, if desirable, bo
worn as a waist belt.—Birmingham
(England) Post.
Strength of the Boer Army.
An apparently well-informed cor
respondent of tho Morning Post, of
London, says:
"Tho Boer strength, originally 88,-
000 men, is now heavily augmented
by Cape Colonists, and the enemy's
fighting forces may be estimated fair
ly at 100,000 men and *20(5 guns. The
Boers are not compelled to guard
their commuuicatious. Their grass is
good, tho crops are growing, vege
tables, cattle and sheep are plenty,
aud game is abundant."
Frightening the I.lon*.
M. Foa, the French explorer, says
that liens have a. wholesome fear of
African wolves, which hunt in parks,
and do not scruple to attark even the
lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lion's fear of wolves, M. Foa tells
a story from liis own experience. It
was a very dark night, so black that
: trees could not he distinguished until
the travelers were close upon them.
Lions prowled about tlie party, one of
them roaring from a point so dose
as to have an alarming effect on the
nerves. The animals could not be
seen, but they could be heard on all
sides. Reaching u tree, the men found
one of their comrades with rifle cocked
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the ani
mals, that could be plainly heard walk
ing among the leaves. A second man
was trying to relight a half-extin
guished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming anct gotog in the
darkness. At this point the na
tive servant whispered the advice
to imitate the cry of wolves in
the distance. The party at once be
gan barking and shouting, "llu! hu!
I hu!" in an undertone, as if the pack
were still at a distance, while the man
at the camp made the same well-imi
tated cry. The effect was instantane
ous. There was the sound of a rapid
stampede across the dry leaves. The
lions decamped in a panic, driven off
by the supposed approach ola pack
of wolves. For the rest of the night
the party was undisturbed.

Firm liow in Paradise.
A Russian correspondent send 1 ; us
details of a very interesting and amus
ing tale told by a Russian veterinary
surgeon who was sent into the Ural
district to buy horses and hay for the
peasants of the famine-stricken prov
inces. He had to do mostly with the
natives (kirghis). who are half-savage,
but who, nevertheless, were found to
be extremely honest and absolutely
trustworthy In all buying and selling,
some of them even offering to give
horses for the starving peasants. Quite
a different story has the surgeon to tell
of the Ural Cossacks, who did their
level best lo cheat him in the most
barefaced manner, and on whom no
reliance was to be placed. And yet
these Cossacks are very religious and
so simple in certain respects that a
swindler succeeded in selling them
quite a number of tickets for—para
dise. The veterinary surgeon saw sev
