Tomorrow is Washington' birthday.
It looks now as if the free trade dem
ocrats would defeat the sr heuie to repeal
the tobucco tax. If they do two, at least,
of the democrat tobacco growing st-tteB
will henceforth go republican. The out
look for the Bourbons is getting decid
edly gloomy.
The direct tax bill has gone to the
president and he must either sign or veto
it, and this is n situation which Mr.
Cleveland would gladly avoid. But he
might as well cease his worry, for it will
njver make any difference to him person
ally whether he signs or vetoes. Lincoln

IT IS NOT SETTLED YET.
Senator Lindsay and Representati v
Dempsey have taken steps to fight the
submission question over as the best law
jers say that the dual bill is unconstitu
tional, and it is their belief th it the
supreme court will so deride. It is
hoped that this time the bill will pas
without any provisions attended. The
speaker should not have any lobbies
around. This question should be settled
upon its merits and without interference
from any one. A whisky lobby at Lin

A Georgia bailiff must le credited
with having originated'a new idea. He
had an attachment against the head of a
railroad company, and. finding nothing
else to attach, he proceeded to attach a
train ltteraly. When the train stopped
he ran a trace chain through one of tin
wheels of tlis engine and firmly attached
it to the track by locking it fast. Un
fortunately, this novel method of enforc
ing a claim was not allowed to reach its
legitimate conclusion, since after half an
ftonr the bailiff was convinced that he
had no right to interfere with the pro
gress of the United States mails. The
incident is full of interest, however, from
many points of view. At all events, it
f araishes aditional proof that the Soutl
is faiily earning the title ot "New South."
Our sister state of Lwa is having
hard time to keep her prisons full. It is
aid the penitentiaries have so few con
victs that it is almost impossible for them
to fill the various contracts that ore . let.
forlacicof workmen. And Governor
Larrabee has just been indicted crinrnally
by the grand jury of Polk county (Dtf
.Moines is county seat) for libel, for hav
ing printed the remonstrances addressed
to him against the pardon of ne Chester
Turney, oue of the few convicts, who is
now under a long sentence for a series oi
thefts. It is none of our business to
meddle in Iowa affairs; but we ran ex
press our admiration for his escellencv.
Governor Larrabee, in refusing to pardon
a convict unless he thinks fit, even thousr'
the application for pardon is backed by
a strong aray of influence. The indict
ment against the governor is purely ma
licious and can amount to nothing. For
ourselvea we think Larrabee the lest
governor Iowa has had for many year?
and we believe all the public who know
him would approve his renominstion and
re-election though he is now closing his
second term.

COLUMBINE SUCCEEDED IN "HOO
DOOING" EVERYTHING.
She Whistled la the Dressing Boom. Which
Meant Dlacnarg-e for One of the Com
panyMacbeth Most Not Be Quoted
Nor Open Umbrellas Left In the DalL
When I first went on the stage I man
aged to get myself disliked in more
ways than an ordinary mortal would
deem it possible. The first thing; 1 did
waa to ''hoodoo" everything. " Now, I
didn't know what it meant to "hoodoo"
things, but 1 was always doing it. I.
began in this way:
Ono night I came to the theater in
high spirits; it was raining torrents, but
what cared I for wind or rain? Wasn't
there a swell theatre party made up just
on my account, and wouldn't 1 shine in
the eyes of my old school friends as a
bright particular star, even though my
part was not one of great importance?
In epito of my wet feet and dripping
umbrella I -skipped hilariously into the
dressing room and greeted my sister
artists with a more than usually cheer
ful "good evening." 1 took oil my hat
and ulster and hung them up, then I put
my rubbers in the corner. We had an
unusually large dressing room, and there
wero three or four of us dressing to
gether. I looked around for a place to
put my umbrella. Not seeing any, I
went out in tho passago. There was a
kind of sink just opposite our door. I
thought that would be a good place for
it, so 1 opened my umbrella and set it in
tho sink to drain. Then I went into tho
dressing room and began to cet ready to
"make up." Now, ever 6inco I was a
small child I have had a reprehensible
habit of whistling. I have tried in vain
to break myself of it. Whenever I feel
particularly light hearted 1 find myself
whistling away as merrily as if tho old
proverb about "whistling girls and crow
ing bens" had nover lx?en heard of.
SIXO, BUT DO NOT WHISTLE.
I took out my cosmetics and began tQ
grease paint my face. Just as I was
about to make an amiable remark to ono
of the girls 6ho startled me by crying out
In a peremptory tone, "Stop that!"
"Stop what?' I said.
"That whistling."
"Don't you like that air? WplJ, .here's
another for j'ou"
'Stop!" they all cried, in a chorus.
"What is th3 matter?" I asked. "What
am I doing?"
"What are you doing? Why, whistling
Carrie out of the company."
"What on earth do you mean?" I said,
looking from one to the other in bewil
derment. "Don't you know that it's the worst
thing you can do to whistle in a dressing
room? The one next the door will bo
whistled put of the company."
"Is that what alj this fuss is about?" I
said. "Well, I'll stop whistling, but I
don't see where you got such an idea.''
. "You don't! Well, you get whistled
out ot an engagement once or twice and
you'll see well enough."
"May I hum?" J asked, meekly, "pr
will that bring down some horrible ca
lamity on our defenseless heads?"
"You may sing all yon want to, but
don't whistle."
So I began humming a favorite air,
and went on with my dressing.
I was heating some cosmetic, and held
it in the flame too long; it melted, and a

I do?" I said. I never saw cobowpje
tjck so! "Take 6ome vaseline," 6aid
Lou. '"It's no use," I groaned. "All
the perfumes in Arabia will not sweeten
this littlo hand!"
I was startled by a shriek of liorrjr,
ind was amazed to see consternation in
every face. I was frightened by their
looks, and said in a faint voice, "What
U it?"
"Do you know what you said?" whis
ered Carrie in blood curdling accents.
"Why, yes," I replied, wonderingly.
"I snid, 'All the perfumes'"
"Stop," they screamed. "You must
lo cray! Don t you know better than to
quota '.Macbeth in the theatre?"
I breathed agajn, "Is that all?" I
said.
"All it's enough. I'm not going to
stay in the room with her. She'll Jonah
every one of us before the curtain goes
up. I'm dressed and I shall go upon the
stage and wait," said Carrie.
"O'EERIXa" THE WEEK'S BUSINESS,
She walked to the door and opened it.
Instead of going out she fell back with a
gasp. "Who did that?" she said. "What?"
cried Lou and J together. "That," point
ing with a rigid forefinger.
1 hardly dared to look. I feared to
seo fomo ghostly sight. But I screwed
up mv courage and followed the direc
tion '-f her finger. What met my gaze?
Nothing in the world but my harmless
umbrella set up to dry!
"1 don't see anything but my um
brella," I said. "Is it yours?" they ex
claimed. "Why, yes; I set it up there
to dry." They looked at each other and
vyall.cd away in silence. As I stood
rooted to the spot a 6tago hand came
along and said: l-ou must want to noo-
doo
Ue theatre, putting an open ma
la in tho halL I took it down and
brell;
shut it.
I wont silently about the dressing room.
Mv high spirits were all gone now, and I
felt sad and depressed. As soon as I
cou'd I went upstairs. The overture was
on. a nd I stood listening to the music and
inusinj on the mutability of human
afTairu. when I happened to remember
the t heatre party. "I wonder if they are
here yet," JLthought. I went up to the
curtain and looked through the peep
hole. Tho house was not full, but it was
not b.",d for a rainy night. I espied my
friends just coming in: how nice they all
looked. As J was thinking how well
Jennie C. looked in her new theatre bon
net some one touched me on the shoul
der. "Do you want to queer the business
for the whole week?" said a voice in awful
accents. "You must never look through
the peep hole when the orchestra is play
ing Monday niht."
I was completely discouraged. Was
thero anvthing I could ao fhat was not
bad 1 uck? This is only a specimen of the

must learn before she can ready be con
sidered "initiated." Columbine in Chi

newpaper says the mate of a ship, name

more; ho was down in a trico and told
his adventure. A second immediately
ascended, laughing at the folly of his
companion, but returned even more
quickly, declaring that ho was quite sure
that a voice, not of this world, had cried
in his ear, "It blows hard!" Another
went, and another, but each came back
with the same tale,
At length the mate liavuig sent up the
whole watch, ran up tho shrouds hinir

spot heard the dreadful words distinctly
uttered in his ear:
"It blows hard."
"Ay, ay, old one, but blow it ever so.
