HY. POPULIST FRIEND.
> A LESSON IN CONSISTENCY
BY A FARMER'S WIFE.
Her ntubnnd'a Pride In the Ownership
of the Bond * of "A Country Brought
to the Verge of Moral , 1'olltlcul unit
Material Rulu. " '
\
"Wo get them , " said my Populist
friend , as he came blithely up the
gravel walk that leads to the front
lr porch of his cozy country home.
His wife did not look up.
"I tell you , " he continued , "It does
me as much good this time to sub
scribe my mite to the government
loan as it did to go to the front my
self thirty-odd years ago. "
Still no response from the little
woman , rocking on the porch.
"What a glorious war this has
been ! " and he grew enthusiastic.
"What a great nation we are ! What
a grand old man Uncle Sam is , any
how ! Think of it ! Think of it , I say , "
he fairly shrieked to the unruffled lady
In the chair. "When Spain was trying
to borrow a few millions to patch up
her dilapidated old navy , Uncle Sam
shoved his hand down in his pocket ,
pulled out fifty millions in cold cash ,
handed it over to McKinley and said
det ready. ' McKinley got. Gun faa-
torles going , powder factories going ,
men and boys going here and there ,
camping , drilling , moving to the front.
Dewey at Manila , whizz ! One-third of
the Spanish navy at the bottom of the
sea ; Sampson and Schley at Santiago ,
whoop ! The pride of Spafn's navy full
of holes and burning on the beach ; the
boys In Cuba , twenty-flve thousand
Spanish fighters surrender to them.
Porto Rico captured without a strug
gle. It's great. It makes me feel like
celebrating. More money wanted ; did
we have to go to Europe for It ? "
He paused for a reply , which did
not come , and then he proceeded : '
"No , we didn't , not a bit of it ; we
didn't have to go anywhere. The people
ple just said , 'Here it is , six times
over if you want it. ' We get our share
of the bonds , it makes me feel good ; "
and he strutted back and forth in
front of the porch , seeming to imitate
the walk of the proud peacock not far
off ; but the woman said nothing.
"But that Isn't all , " he said. "Think
of us commercially. What do you
think of making Europe and other
lands fork over six hundred million
dollars in clean cash for the difference
due us in the deals of the past year ?
Aren't we somebody , though ? "
Then her lips moved. She spoke ,
I her voice as deep and as solemn as sh'e
could make it ; her eyelashes not lift
ed ; her features expressionless. He
listened to the words :
1 " 'We meet in the midst of a nation
brought to the verge of moral , political
and material ruin. ' " *
Like a voice from the tomb it sound
ed to him.
At first my Populist friend seemed ,
stunned ; then he was angry. His arms
flew in the air , his jaw moved , and his
whiskers beat the wind ; but. so enrag
ed was he that he could not utter a
word. Finally , in despair , he sat down
upon the porch steps and buried his
face in his hands.
"Cruel , I know it is cruel , " said the
little woman In her softest , meekest , '
voice ; ' . 'but that Is one of the first
phrases , in the first national declara
tion of your great Populist party. That
was the corner-stone on which you
builded ; It was the belief In those con
ditions that brought your party into
. existence. Think of It ; what a libel on
a great and good people ! What are
you going to do with that declaration
of 'ruin , ' anyhow ? Why not frame it
and send it to Spain ? I don't know of
any one else who could get any satis
faction out of it ; but , in the light of
recent historic events , it would be a
difficult task to get even her to believe
It. " . " *
"But that was six long years ago , "
plaintively pleaded my Populist friend.
"But you are still following the trail
onto which that infamous declaration
led you ; and that is what hurts me , "
she answered , impatiently. "Think of
it yourself ; think of it. dan a great
and growing nation make a "complete
change in morals in six years ? When
was there more evidence that Divine
Providence was guiding a nation than
we have at this time ? Think of our
war for humanity ; think of Dewey and
Manila ; think of Santiago ; think of
Spain's navy practically ruined and
but one man of ours killed in doing it.
Would the hand of Divine Providence
so protect a nation that was on the
verge of moral ruin ? Would a wicked
and depraved people wage such a war
for humanity as ours has waged ?
"Financial ruin , too ! Think of that.
All those millions of dollars are being ;
loaned to the government by the people
ple plain , hard-working , " economical
people , such as you. And yet you say
In your great national platform that
we are on the verge of material ruin.
How dare you look truth in the face
and follow the footsteps of the party
which uttered that libel ?
' "Material ruin ! Yes , the difference
in our trade with nations of the world
was more than six hundred million
dollars in our favor ; but , great as it
is , that tells only a small part of the
story. It is no comparison with our
Internal growth. England's most reli
able statistician now asserts that we
have become the richest nation on the
face of the-globe , and he furnishes the
figures to prove It. Yet you follow
blindly in the lead of men who declar
ed that we are on the brink , Teady to
topple over into all sorts of ruin. "
"But that was six years ago , I say ,
ind what makes you always bring
that up ? " said my Populist friend ,
lomewhat defiantly. "Take our lafer
lets ; we were a.new party then. "
The mischievous smile began to |
play about the lips of the good wife ,
as she said : "Very well , your later
nets , then. Out in the barn loft la a
banner which you lugged about In ono
of your 'reform' parades of two _ years
ago. It roads :
: A Vote for McKlnloy : '
: Means . :
: 25 Cents a Bushel for Wheat :
ami :
: 10 Cents a Bushel for Corn. :

"How much will you charge to carry
that to town now ? "
My poor Populist friend was hurt.
Would that Banquet's ghost of a ban
ner never down ? Hadn't the men in
town made life miserable for him , and
hadn't they silenced his 'arguments'
by reminding him of It , and now must
it be brought to his very threshold ?
Had the really tender-hearted wife
known how it wounded him , had she
known how he had suffered for the
folly of believing too implicitlyin the
political predictions of demagogic re
formers , I believe she would have pit-
led him rather than have twitted him
of his more recent folly. But she was
kind even in her seeming cruelty , for
he persisted In that folly. Her motive
was to bring him back to the paths o *
political rectitude. E. G. PIPP.
STILL IN THE AIR.
Democrats Continue to Fly the Kites of
, rreo Trade and Free Silver.
Referring to the exhibit made by the
industrial census of the American
Protective Tariff League , the Topeka
Capital says :
"The American Economist , organ of
the American Protective Tariff League
and a very useful and sensible paper ,
always teaching the country facts and
common sense , has made a valuable
census to show the change in condi
tions since the ' 9G election. "
After quoting the Economist's sum
mary of census results the Capital
adds :
"Such dry , terrestrial facts as these
act as a heavy tail on the metaphysi
cal kite flying of the free-traders.
Their legs have never been fast enough
to keep the free-trade kite from be
ing jagged and mutilated by the hard
facts along the highway of human ex
perience. " '
Nevertheless , the free-trade kite is
still in the air ; a little wabbly and un
certain In its flight , to be sure , but
still In the air. In proof whereof wit
ness the following from- the Fort
Madison , Iowa , Democrat :
"Protection has filled our country
with tramps , suicides , insanity ; filled
our almshouses and prisons ; has starv
ed to a lingering death millions of our
men , women and children.
"Next to the destruction of half the
natural money value of all our real
estate and all the products of labor , by
the demonetization of one of the
precious metals , the 'protection' tariff
Is. the greatest curse of civilization. "
If any difficulty is experienced in
understanding how two such diametri
cally opposite views of the same sub
ject can be entertained in the same
general section , it must be rememfaer-
- ed that everything is possible in a free
country. Still beyond that possibility
is the infinite scope and range of folly
inherent in the combination of free
trade and free silver. There is really
no limit to the capacity for unique
absurdity that resides in the brain
capable of cherishing both of these
doctrines at one and the same time ,

Every Statement Proved.
In 1892 Mr. Osborne told us that
free trade in wool would mean better
prices. Coffeen seconded the motion
and voted for the Wilson bill. The
result was 5-cent wool. In 1894 Johnny
Osborne told us that it was not free
trade which caused the decline in
wool. It was something else , which
did not seem exactly clear to him ,
probably the failure of the Baring
Bros. The people thought differently a
and voted for William McKinley and <
a protection congress. In spite of the r
opposition of Osborne the Dingley bill s
was passed and wool raised to 14 cents. *

Paalms 42 : 1 : "As the hart jmututh
after the wutor brooks , ao imntoth my
soul after theo , 0 God. "
David , who must some tlmo Unvo
scon a deer-hunt , points uu hero to a
hunted stag making for the water.
The fascinating animal called In my
text the hart Is the same animal , that
in sacred and'profane' literature Is
called the stag , the roebuck , the hind ,
the gazelle , the reindeer. In Central
Syria , in Bible times , there wore whole
pasturo-fiolds of them , as Solomon sug
gests when he says , "I charge you by
the hinds of the field. " Their antlers
jutted from the long grass as they lay
down. No hunter who has been long
in "John Brown's tract" will wonder
that In the Bible they were classed
among clean animals , for the dews , the
showers , the lakes washed them aa
clean as the sky. When Isa'ac , the pa
triarch , longed for venison , Esau shot
and brought home a roebuck. Isaiah
compares the sprlghtllness of the restored -
stored cripple of millennial times to
the long and quick jump of the stag ,
saying , "The lame shall leap as the
hart. " Solomon expressed .his disgust
at a hunter who having shot a deer Is
too lazy to cook it , saying , "The sloth
ful man , roasteth not that which he
took In hunting. "
But one day , David , while far from
the home from which he had been-
driven , and sitting near the mouth of a
lonely cave where he had lodged , and .
on the banks of a pond or river , hears
a pack of hounds in swift pursuit. Be
cause of the previous silence of the
forest the clangor startles him , and he
says to himself : "I wonder what
those dogs are after ? " Then there is a
crackling in the brushwood , and the I
loud breathing of some rushing wonder -
der of the woods , and the antlers of a
deer rend the leaves of the thicket , and
by an instinct which all hunters rec
ognize the creature plunges into a peeler
or lake or river to cool Its thirst , and
at the same time by its capacity for
swifter and longer swimming to get
away from the foaming harriers. Da
vid says to himself : "Aha , that is myI I
self ! Saul after me , Absalom after '
me , enemies without number after me ;
I am chased ; their bloody muzzles at
my heels , barking at my good name ,
barking after my body , barking after
my soul. Oh , the hounds , the hounds !
But look there , " says David to himself -
self ; "that ' 'reindeer has splashed into
the water. It puts its hot lips and nos
trils into the cool wave that washes its
lathered flanks , and it swims away
from the fiery canines , and it is free
at last. Oh , that I might find in the
deep , wide lake of God's mercy and
consolation escape from my pursuers !
Oh , for the waters of life and rescue !
'As the hart panteth after the water
brooks , so panteth my soul after thee ,
0 God. ' "
'
with hunters , and the deer are being '
Glaln by the score. Taking one sum
mer with a hunter , I thought I would
like to see whether my text was accti-
rate in its allusion , and as I heard the
doga baying a little way off and sup-
posed they were on the track of a deer ,
1 said to one of the hunters in rough
corduroy : "Do the deer always make
for water when they are pursued ? " He '
said : "Oh , yes. Mister ; you see they
are a hot and thirsty animal , and they
know where the water is , and when
they hear danger In the distance they
lift their antlers and sniff the breeze
and start for the Racquet or Loon or
Saranac ; and we get into our cedar
shell boat or stand by the 'runway *
with rifle loaded and ready to blaze
away. "
My friends , that Is one reason why I
like the Bible so much its allusions
are so true to nature. Its partridges
are real partridges , its ostriches real
ostriches , and its i-eindeer real rein-
deer. I do not wonder that this an-
tiered glory of the text makes the
hunter's eye sparkle and his cheek
glow and his respiration quicken. To
say nothing of Its usefulness , although
it is the most useful of all game , its
flesh delicious , its skin turned into hu
man apparel , its sinews fashioned into
bow-strings , its antlers putting han-
dies on cutlery , and the shavings of its
horn used as a pungent restorative , the tisi
name taken from the hart and called si

fulness , enchanting
seems made out of gracefulness and
elasticity. What an eye , with a liquid
brightness as if gathered up from a
hundred lakes at sunset ! The horns , n
a coronal branching into every possl't
ble curve , and after it seems complete
ascending into other projections of exquisiteness -
quisiteness i , a tree of polished bone ,
'
uplifted in pride , or swung down for
awful combat. The hart is velocity em-
bodied. Timidity Impersonated. The
enchantment of the woods. Its eye
lustrous in life and pathetic in death.
The splendid animal a complete
rhythm of muscle , and bone , and color ,
and attitude , and locomotion , whether
couched in the grass among the shad
ows or a 'living 'bolt ' shot through the
forest , or turning at bay to attack the
hounds , or rearing for its last fall un
der the buckshot of the trapper. It Is
splendid appearance that the paint
er's pencil fails to sketch , and only a of
hunter's dream on a pillow of hem
lock , at the foot of St. Regis is able to
picture. When , twenty miles from

and you attacked them ; or they overreached -
reached you In a bargain , and yon
tried , in Wall street parlance , to got a
corner ' on thorn , or yon have had a
bereavement , and. instead of being
submissive you are fighting that bereavement -
reavement ; yon charge on the doctors
who failed to effect a euro ; or you
charge on the carelessness of the railroad -
road , company through which the accli
dent occurred ; or yon are a chronic Invalid -
valid , and you fret , and worry , and
scold _ , and wonder why you cannot be
. well like other people , and you angrily
blame the neuralgia , or the laryngitis ,
or the ague , or the sick headache. The
fact is , you are a deer at bay. Instead
of running to the waters of divine con-
solatlon ' , and slaking your thirst and
cooling your body and soul In the good
cheer of the Gospel , and swimming
away into the mighty deeps of God's
love , you are fighting a whole kennel
of harriers.
I saw in the Adirondacks a dog lying
across the road , and he seemed unable -
able to get up , and I said to some hunte
ers near by , "What Is the matter with
that dog ? " They answered , "A deer
hurt him. " And I saw he had a great
swollen paw and a battered head ,
showing ! where the antlers struck him.c
And the probability Is that some of
you might give a mighty clip to your
pursuers , you might damage their bus
iness , you might worry them into ill-
health , you might hurt them as much
as they have hurt you , but. after all. it
ifh not worth while. You only have
hurt a hound. Better be off for the
Upper Saranac. into which the moun
tains of God's eternal strength look
down and moor their shadows. As for
your physical disorders , the worst
strychnine you can take is fretfulness -
fulness , and the best medicine
is religion. I know people who
were only a little disordered ,
yet . have fretted themselves into com
plete valetudinarianism , while others
put their trust in God and come up
from the very shadow of death , and
have lived comfortably twenty-five
years with only one lung. A man with
one lung , but God with him , is better '
off than a godless man with two lungs.
I saw whole chains of lakes in tbe '
Adirondacks , and from one height you ,
can see thirty , and there are said to be '
over eight hundred in the great wil
derness of New York. So near are
they to each other that your mountain
guide picks up and carries the boat
from lake to lake , the small distance
between them , for that reason called a
carry. " And the realm of God's ,
Word is one long chain of bright , re
freshing lakes ; each promise a lake ,
a , very short carry between them , and
though for ages the pursued have been I
drinking out of them , they are full up
to the top of the green banks , and thft
game David describes them , and they
seem so near together that in three
different places he speaks of them as a
continuous river , saying : "There is a
river , the streams whereof shall make
glad the city of God ; " "Thou shalt
make them drink of the rivers of thy
pleasures ; " "Thou greatly enrichest
it with the river of God , which is full
of water. " '
But many of you have turned your
back on that supply , and confront vour
trouble ; , and you are soured with ycur
circumstances , and you are fighting so
ciety and you are fighting a pnrsuiug
world , and troubles , instead of driv
ing yni into the cool lake of heave ily
comfort , have made you stop and turn
around and lower your head , and it is
simply antler against tooth. I do not
blame you. Probably under the same
circumstances I would have ( lone
worse. But you are all wrong. Y-JII
need to do as the reindeer does in
February and March it sheds its
horns. The Rabbinical writers allude
to this resignation of antlers by the
stag-when they say of a man who ven
tures ] his money in risky enterprises ,
he has hung it on the stag's horns ;
and a proverb in the far East tells a
man who has foolishly lost hla fortune
to go and find where the deer sheds
her horns. My brother , quit the an
tagonism ! of your circumstances , quit
misanthrophy , quit complaint , quit
pitching into your pursuers , be as wise
as , next spring , will be all the deer of
the Adirondacks. Shed your horns.
Through Jesus Christ make this God
your God and you can withstand any
thing and everything , and that which
affrights others will inspire you. As
in time of an earthquake when an old
Christian woman was asked whether
she was scared , answered : "No , I am I
glad that I have a God who can shake "
the world ; " or , as in a financial panic ,
when a Christian merchant was asked
if he did not fear he would break ,
answered : "Yes , I shall break when
the fiftieth Psalm breaks in the day
trouble ; I will deliver thee and
thou shalt glorify me. " Oh , Christian I

Mr. Curzon's Salary.
The Indian vice royality was in time
past regarded as the one great financial
prize among satrapies , but it is under
stood to have become , in part , no doubt ,
by reason of the fall in the rupee ,
much reduced in value. The salary'
( $125,000) ) is not large for a functionary
who has to maintain so much pomp
and circumstance , but the allowances
for expenses are on a very liberal scale.
In the case of other governorships it
is almost impossible to "do the thing
well" and to effect any saving out
of the salary. It may be observed
that wealthy men very rarely accept
these positions. In fact , it may be
questioned whether a wealthy man has
ever held the vice royalty of India.
Lord Brassey , Lord Jersey and Lord
Aberdeen , among governors , nro rare
exceptions , and the first named , as
governor of Victoria , when the salary
had been reduced from $50,000 to $35-
000. refused to take it if a further re
duction were made.

THE LONE WOMAN TRAVELER.
f
The "ti'tw woman" doean't propc *
to mlnn the delight * of travel glinply
for lack o' a protector , Hhe knawa
how to take care of heriself , and -when
ho MUirttt off on a little journey nowa
days It Isn't with the nervous dr ul
that gomethiugVs going to happen be
fore Hh < ; reachof her destination if
ever nhe doea , but she proceeds at oste
to make herself comfortable and to
thoroughly enjoy her little rub up
ugalnxt the outalde world.
Hut although the rejsts eecure io &
delightful feeling of uafcty. it has
|
never occurred to the general -woman
that "making her to travel in afety
la & buslneHS all in Itself.
She may have heard , for example ,
that the great New York Central
Railroad Is the only route In the Unit
ed States that IB completely equipped
with the world-famous lock and block
system of glgnals , but that doesn't ,
mean anything to her until you ex
plain that by this system every foot-
over which ahe travels IB carefully an !
unceasingly watched and signaled da/
and night , and that collision IB prac
tically impossible , because a train can
not enter a given block or section un
til the train ahead has passed out. and
that even if there should be another
train following on the same track the-
engineer knows all about it through
the electric telegraph , which Is part
'c ' the system , thus making assurance
doubly sure.
If the lone woman happens to be
going to New York City she need have
no dread of landing alone In the cos-
fusion of a big. strange place If she
travels by the Ne-- York Central All
she has to do is to speak to one of tha
red-capped attendants free service
' who will carry her bag , answer her
I i questions and show her to cab. car or
' elevated train.
Another thing , she lands right In
the heart of the city -within a step of
a dozen or more of its leading hotels
and she should bear in mind that this
is the only railroad depot in all Nets-
York City.
The New York Central might aptly
be called "the lone woman's route. "
