Whatrvrk may bo tho opinion aa to
the cause of tho present panicky feeling
and consequent hard times, there is some
thing amusing in tho serious phrases
of the democratic platform adopted at
Chicago last year, aa we look back ovor
recent events. "We deny," Bays the
democratic platform, "that there has
been any increase of prosperity to tho
country since that McKinley tariff
went into otraration, and wo point to tho
dullness and distress, tho wago reduc
tions, und tho atrlkea in tho iron trudo
aa tho best possiblo ovidonco that no
bucIi prosperity has resulted from tho
McKinloy act." Perhaps tho country
wasn't prosperous in 1802, under that
"culminating atrocity of cIiibs legisla
tion," tho McKinloy bill; but somehow,
aa wo look at it now, it scorns thut wo
wore gottlug along pretty well ut that
tlmo and most of us, Including tho demo
crats, would lo glad to welcome tt return
of tho distress of 1802, oven with tho dull
ness and wago reductions and strikes

A Parrot Story.
A lady who had bought a parrot of a bird

that the parrot was addicted to the per
nicious hnbit of "exaggerated colloquial
isms." The lady at once took the bird back
and complained, rcqucstluR him to refund
her money. Tho man refused, saying it
waa qulto easy to cure tho parrot. Hethen
told her the next tlmo the parrot offended
to tako it out of the oage, grasp It by the
tall and swing It violently round her head
aovcral times. It wyis not long before the
parrot raised tho lady's Ira by a string of
choice expressions, and tho lady proceeded
to "tako it out" of tho bird. Altec swing
ing it round her head till she was tired she
laid tho parrot on tho table. The bird got
up, and shaking his feathers together
quietly remarked:
