MR. BUYAN, so the report troes

McLean to the Ohio senatorsnip tern

Mr. McLean wasn't good enough to

The horse-play indulged in by the
Nebraska eolons will have to give way
to hard work pretty soon if anything

Perservekance conquers at last
and President McKinley has secured
his first choice from New York as
cabinet minister in the person of Cor
nelius N. Bliss as secretary of the in
tenor. Mr. JJliss was tne nrst man
presented to him as that of a distin
guished son of New Yoik perfectly
satisfactory to both factons of repub
licans in the empire state. He de-
clined the honor, but has finally
yielded to the persuasions of his
friends and the preiident. Ex-Gov
ernor Long of Massachusetts will
probably complete tne list as post
master general. Ex.
McKinley is no stranger to Wash

in the capacity of a law maker and he

responsible duties devolving upon him
His service in congress gives aim t
knowledge of the work of that branch
and a sympathy with the members of
it quite essential to a frictionless
working of the administration. Since
retiring from congress he had four
years of experience as an executive,
which has qualified him in the new
line now devolving upon him. His pre'
paration for the presidency has been
gradual and thorough. Ex.
TnE people of the United States
have not bought more clothing than
they felt obliged to this winter. The
markets have been glutted with the
products of our factories, many of
which are idle because they cannot
sell their goods, except at a heavy
loss and their operatives are there
fore without work or wages. But the
last statement. of the New York cus
torn bouse shows that during the
j . . .
ooveu uuj 11 convened mere wore
landed at that port $3,185,910 worth of
foreign dry goods, which are thrown
upon our market. Add to the amount
of the invoice 25 per cent for under
valuations, and we have almost four
million dollars worth of foreign dry
good 8, of which more than a million
dollars worth were cottons. Is it any
wonder that the cotton and woolen
machinery of this country is idle, or
running at a loss ? A million dollars
feed a good many mouths, clothes a
good many bodies, buys a good deal of
fuel. Is it any wonder that some
people are hungry and ragged and
cold when we send abroad four mil
lions a week for goods that we ought
to make ourselves? Beatrice Ex

"We can't have prosperity because
there is no money," remarked a white
metal fanatic to The News man, and
yet it is seen mai we nave oeen pay
ing $4,000,000 per week to Germany
and England for goods made there
that ought to have been made here at
home. No, we have no money for the
American working man, since the
Wilson bill went into effect, and the
industries of the country have lan
guished, and everv interest has suf
fered from threatened bankruptcy.
Our condition is the practical result
of what Mr. Bryan called
"a step in the right direction" i. e.,
free trade. If we suffer from half a
dose, the peopH should be thankful
that the full measure of the free trade
party's plans were frustrated. Confi
dence has been restored, and as soon
as another McKinley bill can be en
acted, prosperity will. have cbeen res
tored and the people will once more
cease to look at the gaunt wolf of des
pair and financial ruin that has
touched every locality of our fair re
public A better day has dawned and t
the dangerous free trade heresies
havo been relegated so far to the
rear that not again in this generation
will its deceitful head be raised-to

THE legislature is a great institu

bills calculated to regulate every
thing but the moon and stars, then it
nuts in twenty days killing them on,
and when a bill passes the gauntlet of
the lynx-eyed solons you may gamble
there is something in either the bill
or in the lobby which is godfather

"President Cleveland,'1 says
the Boston Herald, one of his admir
ers, "will undoubtedly live in the
history of his country as the most de
voted sportsman who ever occupied
the White house." He wilt he will.
Looked at fiom many points of view,
Mr. Cleveland's career furnishes much
occasion for hot dispute. But it is
agreed on ail sides, without a dissent
ing voice, that he is an able and en
thusiastic hunter of the elusive duck.

that have been introduced for the con
sideration of the wi&eacres at the
political helm. The indirect ue of a

State Journal.
The News has heard but little
against and much in favor, of a re
election of Dan bmith and Dr. E. W.
Cook, as member of the school buard.
The voters of this school district,
without regard to party, owe it to
themselves to return these gentlemen
to the places they now occupy. The
affairs of the board, and the district,
have been managed with economy,
and with an eye to the best interests
of the scholars. Politics cut no figure
in the selection of teachers, nor in the
purchase of supplies. No better men
could be selected for school officers.
The patrons of the school can not af
ford to replace Smith, nor Cook with
ini-XDerieneed men at this critical
tirud.
The continuance of ex-Treasurer
Bartley's case over tc April 19, is a
piece of court jugglery that is nothing
short of contemptible and only serves
to call attention to the laxity of the
law and of th3 courts in dealing with
big criminals. A dusky chicken
thief would not get the favor3 that
will be shown a man who has dis
srr.ieed himself ana stolen the state
into bankruptcy. The Barrett Scott
lynching, with which Mr. Bartley
was pecularly familiar, seems not to
have furnished him any object lesson
that he has heeded. The impeach
ment of a few courts and curtailment
of the discretionary powers of all oi
them would be a good thing for the
people who foot the bills.

cism iu the last issue of the Republi

that it can be done now, and it is also
true that the county levy for next
year owing1 to the forcing of delin
quents to pay up. will be lower than
for last year, even though the jail is
built. It will be seen, therefore, that
it can be built now, and no one would
feel or realize the expense.

It was Farmer Waddy that was doing
tho talking, and the squire of the town
ship only interrupted to ask whether the
farmer had ever missed any chickens or
shores before Hank settled in the vicin
ity. "No, I never did," admitted Waddy,
"but I never lest lmthin cf th' kind

I'd trust Hank Stufftr with my life,

"Don't be too confidin, " insisted the
squire. "Mauy'sth' apple I've seen that

but I wouldn't be surprised no day to

"Now, if the baker sends ns a loaf of

What we had mostly was hard bread,

Necessity the Mother of Invention.
"If a man keeps his eyes open, ho
sees many a funny thing while riding
on street cars," said a regular patron of
the Peters avenuo line. "If you will
take a ride on this line some dark
night, frequently ahead of the car
you'll 6ee a light waved across the track,
ana it you watch closely you will see
the motorman begin applying the brakes,
and the car will stop, and a smiling col
ored gentleman will board the car and
laughingly say that he got this car to
stop for him. I found, upon asking a
conductor one day, that the negroes in
this part of the town have caught on to
the fact that as that part of the city is
black at night the motormen of the
swift moving cars cannot detect their
presence on tho track in sufficient time
to stop their cars for them, so they, fig
uratively, -hang out a light tor the car
to stop,' and it seems to work both to
the satisfaction of the colored population
and the motormen on the cars. ' Neces
sity is the mother of invention, and it
seems onr colored brother has hit upon
a scheme to offset the lack of lights on
those streets back of town traversed by

X Rays and Diamonds.
One excellent use to which the new X
rays can be pat should interest women.
It seems that by their aid one can read
ily determine whether diamonds are
real or false, for the rays pass quite
through real diamonds, leaving them
transparent, and not at all through false
ones. A real parnre when photographed
would show only the mounting, bnt in
a false one all the stouts would turn
out black. Strangely enough, theX rays
will not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if
photographed, come out black. This
proved useful in the case cf a Vienna
glassworker who got a bit of glass into
his finger. By the aid of the ravs it was
discovered, extracted and the workman

WHAT A DOLLAR DID.
A RICH CYNIC RECEIVES AN OBJECT
LESSON IN CHARITY.
He Saw For Himself "How the Other
Half Lives" and Learned That All Who
Ask For Help Are Not Uambngi The
Experience Made a New Man of
One good woman, wh has devoted
much of her time for several years to
the relief of distress among the very
poor people cf this city, succeeded in
opening the eyes, and likewise the pock-
etbook, of a cynical rich man not many
days ago. She solicited financial aid
from him, and doubtless would, have
met with a brusque rebuff had it not
been that her position in society com
manded polite consideration. As it was,
the rich man essayed to be patronizing
and said: "My dear madam, I know
that you try to do good among these
poor people, but I can assure you that
your efforts are practically wasted.
They take your money and such cloth
ing and food as you can give them and
then chuckle over your gullibility. "
"If I can induce a starving creature
to chuckle, I shall consider the time
and money well ' spent, " replied the
woman, with a mild tinge of reproof.
"Oh, well, I suppose that you are
bound to keep on wasting your time,"
retorted the rich cynic. After a brief
pause he contiuned, "If you will dem
onstrate to me that you can actually re
lieve distress with a dollar, I will give
it to you just as often as you can dem
onstrate its usefulness in that direc
tion." "Will you come with me?" said the
woman thus challenged. The rich man
assented and accompanied his philan
thropic caller to her coupe. Both enter
ed the conveyance and were driven to
the neighborhood of Eleventh avenue
and Fiftieth street. The coupe stopped
in front of an unsightly tenement. In
silence the man followed his companion
up two or three flights of stairs, and he
soon was standing in a cheerless room
about 12 feet square. The floor and the
walls were absolutely barren, and there
were not more than four pieces of furni
ture in 6ighL One was a small stove,
in which a scant fire was burning.
A middle aged man lay helpless on a
cot, and kneeling by him were a boy
and a girl so raggedly clad that their
white skin was visible through more
than one rent. A few empty dishes and
cooking utensils lying on the floor near
the stove told their mute story of desti
tution. The pathetio eagerness with which
the three emaciated occupants of the
room turnei their glances upon the vis
itors touched a long dormant chord of
the rich man's heart. He involuntarily
thrust his fingers into his vest pocket.
but his companion, laying a restraining
hand upon his arm, advanced to the
cot, and in a delicate and sympathetic
manner questioned the sick man regard
ing himself and his children. She ex
plained that their needs had been called
to her atteutiou only a few hours be
fore. She soon ascertained that there
was urgent need of nourishment, and,
bidding her cynical friend to accompa
ny her, she hastened to the nearest gro
cery. From long experience the good
woman knew just what to purchase for
temporary relief in a case of this kind,
and within a quarter of an hour a bnlky
basket was borne up to the desolate
room by the grocer's boy. Speedily the
fire in the little stove began to throw
out comforting heat, and by and by the
grateful odors of cooking were diffnsed-
Then, with the assurance of another
visit and more substantial aid, the dis
pensers of good cheer left the poor fam.
ily to their unexpected enjoyment.
"Do you think that charity was well
bestowed?" asked the woman, as the
coupe bore them swiftly away from the
tenement district.
"Yes, indeed, I do, " replied the man,
with a suspicious tremor in his voice.
"Well, there is a list of what I
bought, together with the prices," con
tinued the woman, handing a bit of
paper to her companion. He took it and
read:
35 pounds coal 20
2 bundles kindling U5
Half pound tea 15
2 loave3 bread 08
2 pounds oatmeal 08
2 pounds beef fur stew 14
Half pound fuj;iir U5
Gallon kerose.no oil 10
ileasuro potatoes 08
1 quart milk 01
Small baR salt 02
1 box matched 01
Total $1.00
Without a word the rich man took a
dollar from his pocketbook and handed
it to the good woman. The next day
she received from him a check for one
thousand times that amount. New

One Trait of American Character.
There is one trait of our national
character which foreigners can never
comprehend, and that is onr unshakable
faith in our ability to "come out all
right in the end." We stand idly and
more or less indifferently by and allow
a country to be pushed to the verge of a
financial or political precipice under
the impulse of some kind of popular
craze or another, entirely confident that
just before it slips over we can take
hold of it and pull it back. We have
done this again and again, and nothing-
seems to shake our faith in our ability
to repeat the operation whenever occa
sion arises. It costs ua enormously, not
only in reputation, but also in money,
and retards our growth and progress in
a thousand ways, but nothing seems
likely to cure us of the habit, unless it
be a great national calamity due to our
failing in some crisis to take alarm
quickly enough. Century.

FRENCH ARMY AND NAVY.
England's TiaditiunjU Unemy Not Behind
Her In Armament.
The French navy ranks next to that
of England in numbers, while in effi
ciency and fighting qualities the French
ships are fully equal to their English
rivals. In fact, in naval architecture the
French early took the load, and many
cf the English types of ships were mod
eled after the French designs, says The
Cbautauquan. Out; of the chief differ
ences between the English and the
French armored ships today is in the
disposition of the nrmor and the conse
quent design of the hull. English de
signers have striven to protect the men
working the guns, and to do this they
nave reuueeu me lengru cr tne snip s
armor. French and naval architects, on
the other hand, have given little atten
tiou to the protection of men and a great
deal to the protection of the water line,
Therefore they have reduced the breadth
of the ship's armor.
It is worthy of note that France is
the only great power which levies a ta
on 6uch of her citizens as either do
not enlist in the standing army or wh
enlist for a shorter term than three
years. Only those who are officially de
clared "impecunious" are exempt from
such a tax. It is payable annually as
long as the liability to service lasts, and
the revenue from this souri amounts to
about 30,000,000 francs, or $0,000,000,
annually.
A he officers ot the freiioh army re
ceive a very thorough education at the
different military schools. At the head
of these (although not exclusively mill
tary) stands the Polytechnic school l
Paris, which admits 150 pupils annually
after a competitive examination. The
course occupies nine mouths iu the year
for two years.
As it is impossible to keep under arms
for three years the entire annual contin
gent of recruits, the law provides fo
the discharge of thoroughly trained men
at the end of the first or second year of
active service in such proportions as to
brine down the peace strength of the
army to the number annually determin
ed upon by the general assembly. Prof
erences in this connection are decided
by lot. For his purpose every recrui
at his enrollment draws a number, and
only those having the highest numbers
are entitled to consideration.

Always Play Cards For Money.
"England is termed puritanical,'
said a Isew lorker who has been in
London a good deal, "but English peo
ple who consider themselves very prop
er do things sometimes which would
shock people of a similar sort in this
country. For instance, even clergymen
often play cards for money, and women
do so as a matter of course. I never
played a game at au English house at
which there was not a stake.
"The stake was small if women were
among the players, and possibly only a
few shillings, changed hands, but it
never seemed to occur to any English
people I ever met to play for fun. The
people were of the middle class, which
is anything but fast.
"Fancy an American clergyman play
ing cards for money ! He would be con
sidered a bad lot by many if he played
cards even for fun. And certainly a
young woman who arose from a card
table with a dollar, more or less, of a
man's money iu her possession would
be considered fast, to say the least."
