CilAKLEY Ross is once more
h":ird from. This time he finds
himself, but his father fails to
recognize him.
The democrat are in a position
where they have ot to take some
action in the tariff question, and
yet they cannot do so without
doing- their party more harm than
rood.
ALL of the leading men who have
been announced as candidates for
the republican nomination for
president have come out and an
nounced themselves in favor of
President Harrison, except one or
two, and it is thought that they will
do so before the convention meets.
THE senate has knocked out the
income tax bill introduced by Gib
eon, of Louisiana, but one or two
measures of this sort have been in
troduced in the house, and, as the
democratic majority in that body
will undoubtedly pass one of them,
the republicans are certain to make
considerable party capital from that
source.
SECOND WEEK.
Come right up to THE IlEKALD
office and square up for a year.
Those who do so without delay will
get a prize, i. e., the Farm Journal
for one year, just for prompt pay
ment. Don't you take the Farm
Journal? Well, here is a chance to
get one of the best farm papers in
the land. The Farm Journal
prints a beautiful calendar of the
presidential favorites. This can be
had for 10 cents with your choice
for president. See great combina
tion in another column.
The notions held by a few timid
republican papers that Blaine e
withdrawal from the canvass will
work harm to the reciprocity cause
does not seem to us to have any
valid reason for being. It is true
the secretary "popularized" the re
ciprocity idea and put it into
pracilical shape. On his sugges
tion it was incorporated in the Mc
Kinley bill, and it formed one of
the most prominent and most
widely discussed features of that
measure, as it has proven to be one
of the most fortunate and benefi
cent. But the fact that nearly
every republican member of con
gress favored the scheme, even on
its first presentation, and that it
became satisfactory later to the few
who opposed it originally, is of
some significance in this discus
sion. This shows that the principle
is not at all in danger, no matter
how many of its earlier champions
leave the scene. It was said in the
beginning that Mr. McKinley was
unfavorable to the idea, but if this
story were true his prejudice were
conquered long ago. During his
canvass foi the governorship in
1891 McKinley often referred to the
reciprocity policy in the strongest
term of approbation, and with a
sincerity and an enthusiasm which
are not open to question. He is
acute and sagacious enough to be
fully conscious of the fact that this
policy added thousands of votes to
the republican total in that cam
paign, and he is honest enough to
acknowledge this and public
spirited and patriotic enough to de
fend this policy at all time and
under all circumstances.
Reciprocity, that is to say, is
abundantly able to take care of
itself hereafter, whatever may be
the fate that is in store for its
originators or sponsors. Its main
tenance and development are not
in the 6lighest degree dependent
on the life or political fortune of
any man. It has passed beyond
the swaddling clothes phase of ex-
istence and is able to stand alone
and to assert itself in a direct and
effective way. The period of its
operations has not been great,
nor has the field of its activity bet- n
extensive as yet, but within the
limit of its time and scope of work
it has commended itself to the re
publicuii party and amply justified
the faith of its founders. For this
reason the party has enthusiastic
ally enlisted in the reciprocity
cause. Kvery republican is not
only determined to maintain this
principle, but he is resolved to ex
tend it and to spread it over the
whole continent. We want en
larged trade- not only to the
south of us, but also with the IJrit
ish provinces of North America.
The scheme to bring all the
countries of the Westers hemi
sphere into an immense trade
league is favored by the repub
lican party, and this is no idle
dream or a momeiitar' fancy of
political enthusiasts. It is one of
the care inal tenets of the repub
lican creed. Henceforth devotion
to the reciprocity cause will be a
( test of party loyalty. Reciprocity
will be one or tlie lighting planks
in the republican platform this
year, every newspaper and stump
epeaker of the party will advocate
it, and every one of the party's
voters will cast his ballot to extend
and perpetuate it. Globe-Democrat.
A DETERMINED CLIENT.
How She Kaisol I'iiikIm for Her Suit and
Kvh irtett Her Lawyer.
"My first case," .:iil a well-known
Harlem Isiwver to a N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser man, "was a
one. An Irish family of
very unique
the n:ime of
Murphy, living up on the rocks in one
of the fast disappearing remnants of
Shanty-town, wero fraudulently evicted
from their tumbledown cabin by a
rascally landlord. The practical head
of the household was the wife, and she
determined to fijjht the matter out.
For three weeks the Murphys.children,
furniture anil all, lived in the back
yard of their former home with noth
ing between them and heaven but a
flimsy tent made of old sheets, while
Mrs. Murphy tramped around town
looking for a lawyer who would take
their ease for nothing.
"One day she charged into my office
and told me her story with the stereo
typed exactness that comes from fre
quent repetition. The case seemed to
be a worthy one, and as I wasn't over
burdened with work I agreed to take it
free of charge and reinstate the Mur
phys in their dilapidated homestead.
She wanted to get out a free summons
against the landlord and waive several
other small but necessary expenses,
but I told her it would be more politic
to pay these, as the total would not
amount to $5.
MFoive dollars!' she cried; 'divil a
cint have the Murphys seen since me
husband losht his job wan month ago,
and the lasht blissed thing thini pawn
brokers '11 take they've got already.1
When I offered to loan her the money
she went into such a rage that I
apologized abjectly. 'Be the powers!'
she exclaimed, after pacing the floor
for about ten minutes, 'I forgot wan
thing! Wait, misther, an' I'll' be back
in an hour!'
"She kept her word, and just as I
was closing up shop for the day she
reappearedwith her hands full of silver.
which she poured upon my desk. 'Mrs.
Murphy,' I queried, 'where did you get
this.'' 1 thought your last valuable had
been pawned?' 'Yis,' she replied, with
a gleam of triumph in the gray eye,
'ivirythiug excipt the goat. I tuk
auld Nanny, whose milk me childer
1ms lived upon, over to the Kenneys,
and they lint me $4.97 on her. There's
the money, young man, and now, be
the luv of hivin, go in and bate Mc
Carty!' "I take pleasure in stating that Mc
Carty was 'oaten'."
He Thought He Was Dead.
In speaking about a wound received
in the cheek at the battle of Sharps
burg, Senator-elect Gordon not long
ago told a curious story which illus
trates a feature of his character which
will come into play during his sen
atorial rareer. It is the fact that Gor
don never loses his head and that he
can think under any circumstances.
Said Gen. Gordon:
"While I lay there wounded on the
field my mind went through a curious
process of reasoning. I thought I had
been struck by a cannon-ball and I
said to myself: I have been struck in
the head with a six-pound solid shot.
It has carried awaj my . head. I can
feel that there is a little piece of the
skull left on the left side. But my
brains must be gone entirely. There
fore I am dead. And yet I am think
ing. And how can a man think with
his head shot off? And, if I am think
ing, I cannot be dead. And 3et no
man can live after his head is shot off.
Still I may have consciousness after I
am dead, but my body cannot have
action. Now, if I ean lift my leg. then
it must be that I am alive. I will try
that. Can I? Yes. I can. I see it
rising. I am not dead, after all, and
with that I woke up and found that my
head was still on, but I reasoned as
philosophically and logically over the
matter as though I was in my office."

TOM CYPHER'S PHANTOM ENGINE.
A (aliostly C "u;iii;it ion That Haunts the

Loc' motive engineers

but J. M.
rii)ckiev, an engineer 1. .own to al
most every Brotherhood man, is an
exception to the rule. He has never
been able to Indievu the different sto
ries told of apparitions suddenly ap
pearing on tin; track, but he had an
experience Inst Sunday night on the
Northern Paeiiic east-bound overland
that made his hair ft and on end.
By the courtesy of the engineer, also
a IWotlii rhood man, Mr. I'inckney was
riding on the engine. They were re
counting experiences, and the fireman,
who was a green hand, was getting
very ncrvotts as he listened to the
tales of wrecks and disasters, the hor
rors of which were graphically de
scribed by the veteran engineers.
The night was clear ami the. rays
from the headlight flashed along the
track, and, although they were inter
ested in spinning yarns, a sharp look
out was kept, lor they were rapidly
Hearing Eagle gorge, in the Cascade,
the scene of so many disasters and the
place which is said to be the most dan
gerous on the 2,5)1) miles of road.
The engineer was relating a story and
was just coming to the climax when
he suddenly grasped the throttle, and
in a moment had "thrown her over,"
that is, reversed the engine. The air
brakes were applied and the train
brought to a standstill within a few
feet of the place where Engineer Cy
pher met his death two years ag . By
this time the passengers had become
curious as to what was the matter,
and all sorts of questions were asked
the trainmen. The engineer made an
excuse that some of the machinery
was loose, and in a few moments the
train was speeding on to her destina
tion. "What made you stop back there?"
asked Pinckney. "I heard your ex
cuse, but I have run too long on the
road not to know that your excuse is
not the truth."
His question was answered by the
engineer pointing ahead and saying
excitedly:
"There! Look there! Don't you see
it?"
"Looking out of the cab window."
said Mr. Pinckney, "I saw about 300
yards ahead of us the headlight of a
locomotive."
"Stop the train, man," I cried, reach
ing for the lever.
Oh, it's nothing. It's what I saw
back at the gorge. It's Tom Cypher's
engine, No. 83. There's no danger of
a collision. The man who is running
that ahead of us can run it faster back
ward than I can this one forward.
Have I seen it before? Yes, twenty
times. Every engineer on the road
knows that engine, and he's always
watching for it when he gets to the
gorge."
"The engine ahead of us was run
ning silently, but smoke was puffing
from the stack and the headlight threw
out rays of red, green and white light.
It kept a short distance ahead of us
for several miles, and then for a mo
ment we saw a figure on the pilot.
Then the engine rounded a curve and
we did not see it again. We ran by a
little station, and at the next, when
the operator warned us to keep well
back from a wild engine that was
ahead, the engineer said nothing. He
was not afraid of a collision. Just to
satisfy my own mind on the matter I
sent a telegram to the engine wiper at
Sprague, asking him if So. 33 was in.
I received a reply stating that No. 33
had just come in, and that her coal
was exhausted and boxes burned out.
I suppose you'll be inclined to laugh at
the story, but just ask any of the boys,
although many of them won't talk
about it. I would not myself if I were
running on the road. It's unlucky to
do so."

and was :-oaii on his wav to Tacoma.

Johnny's Bnlge on Grandpa.
Johnny is a chubby-faced youngster
who for the past six years has been the
light of an east side household. John
ny ha3 a keen sense of humor, but his
occasional pranks have not always met
with the appreciation on the part of
his mother to which he thought they
were entitled. Johnny has been prop
erly trained, and perhaps overtrained,
by his fond parents, and with the per
versity of children has developed a
strong prejudice against saying the
little prayer his mother has taught
him to repeat before retiring.
Several weeks ago the little fellow
made a visit to his grandparents in the
country. He was led away at bedtime
by his grandfather, who had instruc
tions from home concerning the even
ing devotions.
But grandpa is very deaf and white
robed Johnny decided to introduce a
change in the usual programme, so
as he knelt by the bed he began:
"Come, little boy blue, come blow up
your horn. The sheep's in the meadow,
the cow's in the corn," and repeated to
the end that familiar jingle of the
nursery.
"That's a good boy, Johnny," said
the old man as he tucked him into bed,
"always say your prayers, and you will
grow up a good man," and Johnny
winked the other eyo as he chuckled
over his little joke. Rochester Demo
