D.i 130 Green march to tho front at the first tap of the dram, everybody will heartily wish that tho next 23 i years of the corps maybe oven moro impressive and prosperous than tho last. alert with Hit Boots On. "Bob" Ford kept a dance hall at Creede, Col. "Kept" is iu tho past tense. Its uso Implies not that tho dance hall is no more, but that "Bob" Ford Is no more.

A dispatch from Creodo tells that on, Wednesday "Deputy Sheriff Kelly was seen standing at tho door of Ford's saloon. A man handed him a shotgun. He took it and entered tho Efiloon, saying as he entered: 'Hello, On that 'Bob' turned wound with his hand on his hip pocket to draw his pistol, but he was too late, for Kelly discharged the contents of the gun into bis neck. The gun was loadod with buckshot. Ford's jugular vein and other veins were cut in two.

Ho died instantly. Kelly surreudSred himself to a police justice and refuses to be interviewed." About four melodramas are condensed in that story. Those who know what tho antecedents to it ure would probably increase reopen. The Ford brothers, both much too young to havo taken any part in the war, were the last persons to join the last of the many mutable gangs whioh Jesso James organized. They were Missouri farmer boys.

They looked like poor afJtors ot suppressed drummers or underfed theological students, but belonged to a family in' whioh there wero more horses than cows, moro dogs than hogs and moro guns than spades. Night riding and day robbing came easy to them and the traditions of tho confederacy which hung around Jesse James, with the fact that he was the object of pursuit by the national government, lent an idea of romance to the nefarious work they wrought. The gang were discriminating. They robbed railroads and banks and stopped stealing horses. That commended them to the farmers, among whom thoy lavished some of their quickly scattered gains, and who always left their stables unlocked at night when the gang were around.

If a worn out horse was found in the stall of a fresh one that had disappeared, that was a token that the Jesso James boys had been through olose pressed, tho night before, but had given thoir pur fact ho would leave these interests at any time for the other, whether during his success as an administrator or in his defeat as such, and his forlorn following, like a captive king, as it were, in the train of tho victorious traveler, Stanley. Nor was it all victory for Stanley and defeat for Emin. Though the purblind philosopher was thought to havo fiually injured his prospects in life, if not earned his death, by 'mistaking a window for a door at Zanzibar and walking out of it, he survived, as wo have seen, to organize another expedition of the semi heroic, semi Bcientifio sort into central Africa, where he was reported some time since ill and is "now announced as dead, jpresutnably from that disease, as his Berlin friends think. Here is another possible biographical placer. For though press and other facilities in these days have put the world in possession of much that was great iatorest about this remarkably tenacious man, in good andl fortune, there must be at least as much more material still lying unworked about him, which some faithful chronicler oan use for the world's enlightenment, even as some of Stanley's lieutenants havo helped the latter's fame in the same way, whde depreciating Emin.

The question is how mneh odor caual water can destroy, end what its condition cau bo when it is roturned to the canal. The water in tho canal falls about nvefoot.

Is it possible that at low tide the citizens get their periodical oream of tartar dose, which evoiyoua knows without a doubt, and. which is tho reason of Mr. Hoagland" factory being solectod as tho nuisance most prevalent?

tion are sufficiently treated in various articles in to day's Eagle. The proceedings of the convention and the chancing currents of opinions and chances there are adequately dealt with by the Eagle's correspondents and by those of both press associations. The notion which tho convention vras created to perform is tho nomination of candidates, That sotiou has not been taken yet. Expec tation of reaching or at least of completing it to day is not entertained. Until such action is taken, moro than incidental com.

ment upon the convention is neither neces sary nor interesting nor profitable. Four Slaicn Cor Cleveland. Delegates who favor tho nomination of Grovor Cleveland were elected to the Chicago convention in four states on Wednesday The Maine Democrats instructed the dele. gates to voto for tho ex President and passed resolutions indorsing his administration. Mississippi followed the custom which has prevailed for years of having the men who represent her untrammelod by positive directions.

Every mention of Cleveland's name was loudly cheered, indicating the feeling of the convention. Hill's name was not spoken and Gorman received slight applause. No instructions were given in Toms or in Maryland. The delegates from the latter state are in tho hands of Senator Gorman, who prefers to continue as an activo manager for the present, rather than to enter the race for the presidency. Cleveland's friends are numerous in the delegation elected and their votes will be cast for him.

The convention expressed in its platform the gratification which the people of the state fell over tho patriotic and able administration of Mr. Cleveland. Loyalty to tho nominee of the Chicngo convention was pledged in Maryland as well as in the other three states. They all believe that there is but one man whom the Democrats of tho country expect the national convention to nominate. Cenviliittlviml Onarnutcev.

On assuming I he temporary chairmanship of the Minneapolis convention Mr. Fassett said, among other things: ''The contest before us assumes till its difficulties from the fact that we enter the presidential race handicapped by the certainty that in nu electoral college of d't'l members 150 votes are now already absolutely secured in advance to tho Democratic nominee, and these 150 votes come from the South, is kept permanently solid through a perpetual breach of the guarantees of the constitution of the United States." Mr. Fassett therefore admits that ull the talk about obtaining votes for the Republican candidates by meant) of a fusion With tho farmer's alliance or people's party at tho South is mere bluff. But the charge as to a "perpetual breach of the guarantees of the constitution" is unfounded. The constitution of the United States does not prescribe the qualifications of voters or confer the privilege of the elective franchise.

Those are matters tho regulation of which is left to the several states. The amendment adopted since tho war provides ngainst the enactment by any state of a law making discrimination on account of race, color or previous conditiou of servitude. The guarantees of which Mr. Fassett speaks go no further than that. When congress undertook by the passage of tho civil rights bill to interfere with the exclusive jurisdiction of the states the supreme court pronounced tho act unconstitutional.

Tho new constitution of Mississippi, which practically bars the great majority of negroos from tho ballot box by an educational test, was heartily advocated by the white Republicans of tho state. Would Mr. Fassett regard that advocacy iu the light of a breach of any constitutional gnnranteo? The accusation made by him, in the passage wo have quoted from his speech, is both false and absurd. It would, however, bo entirely within the limits of propriety to employ his svords for the purpose of describing the policy of the election law introduced in the Inst congress. Tho proposal to control elections at the South through the intervention of federal officials, bnoked by federal bayonats, is a proposal to commit a flagrant broach of the spirit and letter of the constitution.

The so called Lodge bill was based on tho same fundamental misconception of the prerogative of congress as that pointed out by the supreme court in its judgment agaiust the civil rights, act. Tho powers not expressly granted to congress are reserved to the states and the people thereof. There is nowhere to bo found iu the constitution any grant of the power which the senate and hon3e arrogated in the passage of that law, and the samo is true in respect to the Lodge bill. It is tho dread of the enactment of such a law that keeps the South solid, and from this point of view Mr. Fas sett's words lit the sitnatlon.

The Southern people are banded together to resist the "breach of the guarantees of the constitution" which the ltopublican party boasts of its desire to commit. Rolls Amcicul and Honorable. The Ancient and honorably artillery celebrated its anniversary in Boston the other day, for no reason, so far as superficially appears, other than that it is 251 years old. That is a better cause than could bo assigned for some other commemorative performances. Iu this time of restless struggling for the new it is something merely to hare existed for two centuries and a half.

In all that period it is hard to believe that the corps has not constantly caught up something of the genuine respectability, the good acting and tho worthy thinking of the long procession of years of which it has formed a part. Certainly that is the association naturally suggested, and association is not tho empty sentiment which some people fancy it to bo who suppose that the aggregated achievement of organized capital is about all that makes life worth living on the edge of this twentieth century. So, while the Ancient and honorable is not likely to fall in to throw up aea coast defenses against that frightful foreign war vessel which wo have so often been told is just lying in the offing, ready to shell the Atlantic cities, although it is not expsctod to the number of the melodramas by eight or ton. "Bob" Ford was tho brother of tho lato "Charley" Ford. Tho late "Charley' Ford, about four years ago, blew his brains out in a Kansas City hotel.

He did bo be. cause he was constantly pursuod by those in lent on killing him and because his memory held with graphic tenacity the details of a deed extraordinary iu tho annals of Missouri but that is another story. Tho story is this Dnring the war, near the town of Sedalia, in Southwestern Miss ouri, lived a Baptist preacher named James who3e family comprised a wife, a daughter and two sons, named Jesse and Frank. Jesse was 15 and Frank was 13 vears old. That county was borderland between tho Union and the confederacy.

Viio creatures who callod themselves guerrillas raided and robbed the country in tho name of tho confederacy. Creatures as vilo who called themselves ay hawkers raided and robbod the country in tho name of tho Union. A horse was worth a pood deal more than a man. so life taking and horse stealing were the oeeupa tlons of both sets of land pirates. One day some jay hawkers swooped down on tho James place.

The father was killed. Better for the sister that she had been killed. The boys were whipped, kicked and told to get out. The remonstrating mother was knocked down and made hear the foulest language that could be addressed to her. What horses were there were stolon.

In the country of whioh tho boast was the consideration shown to women, this occurrence might be thought exceptional, but it was not. The boys did as they were told. They got out. They joined a guerrilla gang headed by a man infamous for his ferocity named Quan. trell.

Under him they grew to manhood, coolness and brutality by tho close of tho war. An incident will explain this assertion. At the town of St. Joseph, near the western extreme of Missouri, was a hospital for the soldiers of tho Union army. As fast as the patients improved they were taken across the stato by railroad to a convalescent camp on one of the islands in the Mississippi below St.

Louis. On an occasion sixty two of such convalescents were put on a train and the train was captured by Quautrell's gang at the town of Mexico, Mo. Tho sixty two prisoners were placed in a lino on their knees, blindfolded, on a green sward which stretches out in front of tho pretty little station at that town. Thus placed, they were all killed by pistol shots, and to Jesse James, at his own request, was awarded the right to kill all of them. When he had shot a little over forty tho older men of the gang, sickened at his ferocity, pulled him back and finished tho job themselves.

His brother Frank was his constant companion in this guerrilla servico. At the close of tho war tho two brothers, Jesse James as the leader, organized the most famous band of robbers which this country has ever known. They held Missouri, Ar kansas and the Indian territory in terror from 1807 to about 1882 83. Excepting Jesse and Frank James, the personnel of the gang, which was nover largo, changed about overy five years. In that time the members would either got killed off, in conflict with authority or among thomselves, or Jesse James would take them one by one out in tho woods alone and suddenly shoot them.

Dead men told no talos. His theory was that after a certain time his associates would learn enough about him to render tho rewards everywhere offcredforkim, dead or alive, a tempta tion which they could not resist. To preserve their fidelity or his security he would take their lives. Tho operations of this gang extended Southwest as far as Nashville and Northwest into Nebraska and up to Still water, Minn. Tho favorite occupation was to hold up railroad trains, so as to rob thp money car, tho express safe and the passengers.

Another method was to ride into a small town, terrorize the inhabitants and seize all tho deposits in any bank or banking house there, killing such as opposed them. By the year 1RS3 it was statistically calculated that tho Jesse James gang had acquired or destroyed more than $10,000,000 of properly, had killed quite a thousand people and had put on Missouri an embargo against intending investment and settlement which the railroad men and the government rated would have been worth $800,000,000 to the state. Governor Crittenden in vain tried to break up and capturu the gang. Ho pressed it so hard, however, that it temporarily dispersed itself, und all but four of it went into retirement. Tho four were Frank James, who lived in seclusion in Kansas City, and Jesse James, "Bob" Ford and "Charloy" Ford, who took a house outsido of St.

Joseph, which stood on quite a high hill and which commanded a view from overy quarter, a view which was unobstructed by the fact that no other habitation was near it. Tho three lived here under assumed names, in apparent peace and harmlessness. They were planning, however, to rob a bank in Omaha and to hold up a pay train in the Indian territory. A lawyer in St. Joseph at this time received a letter from "Bob" Ford and got on treaty terms with him and Charloy." Ho contracted with them for Governor Cri tendeu to hand over tho body of Jesse James, dead or alive, to the nuthoritiss, stipulating to them a pardon in full and $10,500 reward.

The $500 was all the state constitution permitted tho governor to offer. The $10,000 was some of the sum put in his hands by the railroad companies, who wanted to exterminate Jesse James. One morning while Jesso James was on a stop ladder adjusting the hanging of a cheap lithograph picture to the wall, "Charley" Ford shot him through the neck with a revolver, while "Bob" stood by, pistol in hand, to finish the job or to defond his brother, if necessary. Prompt as their action was, tho click of "Charley" Ford's pistol caused Jesse James to turn half wiy round on tho step ladder and, in the act of turuing, to whip out his own pistol, which his adversaries gave him no time to discharge. This incident il lustrates the distrustful terms on which at.

tho last the threo were living. The two Ford brothers surrendered thomselves to the police, were formally tried and acquitted and received the blood money. Instead of disappearing from observation and Missouri, they joined a traveling variety troupe to exhibit their skill as marksmen. They retired, however, when they found that the property rifles with which they were wout to fire blank cartridges at ono another in mythical conflicts would every now and then bo loaded with real bullets. Somo avenger of Jesse James would be on their track everywhere.

They had many affrays and with difficulty avoided many more. They folt they wero doomed men. "Charley" at last, in a despair of fatiguo and apprehension, blew his brains out. "Bob" Ford long disappeared ou. the plains, only lately to head up in Creede, as the most modern hotbed of adventure, there to die by an even worse wound iu the nock than tho ono he helped inflict on Jesse James.

Frank James for a whilo threatened to avenge his brother, but either thought better of it or lot tho laws of retribution take their course in the action of others. Frank was for a while a commonplace clerk in an insignificant shoe store in Dallas, Tex. Ho got consumption and religion simultaneously and died not long ago in Kansas Oity. With the killing of "Bob" Ford should close a drama of blood, and the blood should seal up a channel of barbarism and violence which nothing ever suers the slip. Pretty soon the missing horse would be founel in his accustomed stall and the strange horse would no more be seen.

There was absolutely a political sentiment in Missouri in favor of Jesse James. "He robbed the rioh and gave to the poor." He hud been a rebel and his family had been massacred by jay hawkers. That was enough to make for him at least a faction in tho stato, and he thrived on it. His capture was re sented, his killing was denounced, his obsa quies wore attended by weeping hundreds and a hard sholl Baptist preacher eulogized his valor and his other virtues, and closed tho services by giving out tho hymn i Asleep in Joaus, blessed sleep, From whioh nono evr wake to weep. It is not believed that "Bob" Ford will havo anything like so fine a funeral.

The Kentucky D' Arcatruan. In an interval of grateful rest from tho labors of political discussion the gallant Colonel Watterson dwells upon the thought that the Kentuckian is essentially the Gascon of America, a parallel of that type from which Dumas in the "Thrse Guardsmen" drew the character of D'Artag nan. According to the colonel he likes to fight and he likes equally as well to boast of the fighting he has done and the fighting he expects to do. Ho is always good natured about it and accepts his share of the hard blows with as much grace as falls to tho lot of man, and when the contest is over, bo he victor or vanquished, ho is quits willing to look into tho bottom of a glass with his late foe and discuss theology or tho theory of the tides in the most friendly manner. This description will be generally recognized as Btriklngly applicable to the gallant colonel himself.

Ho is beyond question the D'Artagnan of Kentucky Gascons. For the last twolve months he has opposed tho popu lar sentiment of his party with a pen that is sharper than was the guardsman's sword and with a redundancy of eloquence that tho loquacious Gascon would have en vied. Tenacious of his conviction that it would never do to norninite Olovoland, while tho Hill machine opposed him, he has been at all times ready to fight in defeuso of that proposition and has omitted no appri priate opportunity to give proof of his valor. A constant state of preparation for war and repeated visits to the skirmish, wif the view of engaging some opponent, while they have not exhausted his belligerent energy, seem at last to have inclined him to the policy of peace. Therefore, speaking of tho Kentucky Gascon, he says: "Whatever else they may say agaiast him, they find no fault with his courage or with his readiness to make friends with a late enemy, if the latter is willing." A more delicate overture could scarcely bo conceived.

Having valiantly combatted the preference his party for Cleve land and having ascertained that upon that point it is firmly resolved, he now chivalrously intiiaates that he is at liberty to discontinue the antagonism if the party is willing." So gracious an act deserves to be graciously met. We do not speak unadvisedly when we assure the gallant colonel that tho party is not only wili ng but anxious. It hopes that when the name of the great reformer from New York is presented to tho Chicago convention every Gascon on the Kentucky delegation will cast his vote for him, and that the effect of its unanimity will be so signal that each succeeding delegation will enthusiastically fol low its example. If there should be a dele gate who hesitates or scatters his vote in an ticipation of ft second ballot we hope the Kentucky D'Artagnan will not neglect the auspicious ocoasiou to move to mate tao nomination unanimous. A.

Farmer's S3 i stake. A farmer living near Columbia, S. 0., when asked what benefit he expected to derive from the unlimited coinage of silver, answered, that ho "would have more money to pay his debts with." There can be little question that this belief is tho one that chiefly animates the great majority of the advocates of free coinage. They arc generally men of the so callod "debtor class" and they see iu this oxpediont a means of discharging their obligations with comparative ease. Some of them are wiso enough to understand that international bimetallism would offor less hope of "cheap money" than bimetallism without international concert, and for that reason they denounce tho idoa of holding a monetary conference.

Their soherne contemplates a depreciated currency and a loss to the creditor of an amount equal to tho doprec iation. But the South Carolina farmer's notion is not so dishonest. He simply anticipates a greater abundanoe of money and fancies that in some way or other he will come in for his full share of tho Increase. It does not seem to occur to him that every dollar coined will remain in tho federal troasury until withdrawn by somebody who has an equivalent to offer for it. Tho millions now stored up thero might boepmo billions without augmenting tho farmor's actual cash to the ex tout of a dime.

Ho cau not got a dollar of tho vast accumulation unless ho has that which is of the value of a dollar to give in exchaugo for it. Thero is still another fact which ho apparently overlooks, to witr: that if a depreciated currency is a good enough currency in which to pay his debts it is also goo enough currency to receive in payment for what he has to sell. If unlimited coinage would make it easier for him to purchase clothing and supplies for his family, it would also make it easier for the market man to purchase tho farmor's wheat and corn and potatoes. That is to say if he paid out cheap money he could not refuse to receive it in satisfaction of his own claims. Tho South Carolina farmer will find, the longer ho ponders the question, tho less solid ground there is for believing that any good cm come from interfering with the natural laws that govorn tho relations of gold and silver.

Emia Paslia. The career of this by turns singularly fortunate and unlucky man is at last announced with considerable positivenoss to be at an eud. That career may not have been so brilliant as that of Emin's self appointed rescuer and then rival, Stanley, but it has boon at least as persistent. The plain Prussian suv geon whom Stanley took with him, almost against his will, out of darkest Africa to tho coast and to civilization again, after years of forced residence away from it, had been, a potentate of no mean pretensions, at least as African potentates go. Selected by Gordon as his leading lieutenant in tho government of tho Soudan for the late khodive of Egypt, Erain, born plaiu Sohnitzler, had become bey aud pasha over the equatorial province, with a name signifying truth iu the ethics of the prophet.

Who doos not remember the years in which with that designation he stood "the shadow of a name," greater as such, no doubt, like most shadows, than was the substance of his, rule? But he succeeded in amassing much ivory, which ho failed at last to bring away with, him, and ako, doubtless, in improving the ideas of' his swarthy and his ebony subjects in matters of civilization. He succeeded far more acceptably to tho thinking and scientific portion of the world, however, in enlarging its herbarium with African plant specimens, collected by him with groater truth to aud zeal for science than any shown by him in the lino of the ivory trade or that of government. Ia A Good Mau'a Great Worlf. The influence of Colonel Elliott F. Shepard at the Minneapolis convention will never be lightly spoken of or easily forgotten.

Although he attended ostensibly as a delegate and supporter of Presidont Harrison, his real object was. to leaven the political character of the occasion with tho essenoa of righteousness and morality. Ho found upon his nr. rival ample justification for his mission. The extraordinary situation created by tho resig.

nation of Secretary Blaino had exposed tho delegates to peculiar temptations and provocations. Many of thorn had como instructed for Harrison, but with heorts brimming over with passionate devotion to the mag. netic statesman from Maine. Others without instructions represented constituencies that wore true to the noosier President ana ex pected them to voto and work for him. Still others had neither commissions nor prefer euces as to the candidate and floated loosely about in tho boiling waters of the conven tion.

In view of the deadly hostility of such party bosses as Piatt, Quay and Clarkson to the' chief executive aud the favor with which they regarded the maxim that all is fair in war aud politics, the struggle for the nomi nation under tho above conditions offered a peculiar opportunity for tho practice of the most demoralizing arts. A disinterested spectator of the scono writes that "never probably in the history of the country has there beon a convention in which corrupt inducements wero so unblushingly employed." Tho presence, therefore, of Colanel Shopard was domanded as well for tho reputation the ltopublican party as for tho sako of the great cause of virtue and morality. The very imperfect and superficial accounts of his services sup plied by the newspaper correspondents in dicate their indifference to one of the most important features of the occasion. We shall probably nevor know tho true story of his enterprise or be adequately informed of tho great work he accomplished, but his zeal in rescuing colorod delegates from degradation is conceded by all. There is no creature so poor as the poor African of tho Southern states.

He is thankful for the crust of bread which ho begs or earns to day, without a thought of how he is going to get a meal to morrow. Suddenly transported from the familiar theater of his dailystruggle and clothed with the dignity of ft representative of the party of great moral ideas, his consciousness of so vast an elevation unfortunately kindles within him a keen ambition to use it to tho highest pecuniary advantage. The money changers of tho temple nt Minneapolis wero prompt, to avail themselves of his reverence for cash, and, as a correspondent graphically relates, "the traffic in niggers here equaled anything ever witnessed at the South during the days of slavery." Thero is no doubt that the wave of rjollution would havo swallowed them all had it not been for tho missionary ardor and pious energy of Colonel Shepard. By his efforts an honorable remnant was spared, not only to testify to their fidelity to Benjamin Harrison, but to return to their cabins iu the sandy bottoms of the far South rich in tho possession of consciences void of reproach. Uncle Ihs! and fKIiv Sheep ITail.v.

Jeremiah liusk, who in his avuncular relation, no less than in his official capacity, has won the good will aud esteem of the American people, has put it still further in his debt by bringing to this country sixteen flat tailed Persian sheop. It is a cruel custom uinoug our own farmers to dock tho tails of their lambs, allegiug that if the animals catch sight of thoir own appondages thoy become frightened and have convulsions. These Persian sheep como among us with the propriety and consideration of those mentioned in the celebrated id'l of Bo Peep, bringing their tails behind them a most absurd qualification, when 3rou como to think of it, for thero never was a sheep that carried its tail before it. The animals are brought here for breeding purposes, and they have more than justified Mr. Husk's expectations, for thoy left home as twelve 'and reach here as sixteen.

The sheep havo more meat aud more fur on their tails than anywhere elso, for these ornaments weigh forty pounds each. One of them will keep a Persian family iu clothes, and after tho sheep dies the same family will subsist on the samo tail for week. Moreover, the sheep give milk that tho Persians cunningly convert to a strong liquor, so that a sheep will not only keep an Astrakan well dressed aud provided with bed ticks, but will enable him to stay comfortably drunk for twenty four hours a day. There is another advantage in having these sheep with us, that was iu Uncle Rusk's mind when ho sent for them, and that is the growth of tho protected carriage trade. The tails are bo long and bulky that the sheep would be in constant trouble, were it not that the farmers fasten them to toy carriages so that they maybe dragged over stony ground and rough pastures without parting with much of their substance.

No American farmer will allow himself to be outdone by a mere Persian. At tho rate of increase exhibited on the voyage these sheop are going to outnumber all tho rest of the live stock on this continent in about ton years and will become as common on our hill sides as goats are on the Harlem rocks and in the Long Island City oil tanks. Every sheep will require a carriage for its tail. The mad gambols to which sheop are addicted will wear out the carriages with considerable rapidity so that a sheep will require about two a year. Assuming that iu ton years the number of sheep will bo 420,000,000, and that the carriages will cost 75 cents apiece, it is obvious to the dullest mind that the expenditures for carriages will come to $630,000,000 per annum, aud that it will keep on getting more and mora every aunum afterward.

It is thus evident that behind this scheme of Uncle Husk's lurks the benevolent intention to develop one of our infant industries that of the building of sheep tail carriages into the leading industry of thi3 republic. With commendable opportuneness a natural gas well has been opened at Troy, Pa. That towboat which smashed the drawr bridge near Boston after ex Secretary Blaine's train had crossed it did its best to accomplish materially what the Maine statesman did metaphorically when he wrote his last letter. In rapidly retreating from the senate chamber to escape a vote on the free silver question, Senator Hill" ran ogainst Henry Cabot Lodge and knocked him down on the marble floor of the corridor, bruising him severely. Mr.

Lodge wishes that Senator Hill, in his movement away from financial subjects, would show a more correct knowledge of the proper principles of currency and circulation. Alluding to the statement of a contemporary that "Dr. Kainsford ia in favor of dairying the war into Africa," Dr. I. K.

Funk, the prohibitionist, touohingly responds: "Certainly; why not. If preaohers at homo should sell liquor, why not missionaries abroad? Hereafter every missionary should be equipped with a copy of the Bible and tho Bartender's Guide." Dr. Funk is never so funny as cau be, but how fuany he is cau ba discerned from such a paragraph as that. UMi ren island to them, and Swan Fink's fish oil fiotorymade them uso their handkarohiefs.
