Just two weeks will tell tbe tale. from next Tuesday Secretary Wiiitxet 19 " whooping up the president's belated presidential policy. He thinks that there is no clanger of war, but is sure that we could " whip England." any way. The republican party invited JJames Buchanan to take a walk because he truckled to southern leaders. Twenty eight years later the same conditions obtain, and Mr. Cleveland must not 1 surprised if he gets an invitataion similar to that Mr. Buchanan found iu hi mail one morning. We are told that the reduction in the Mill bill from 27 to 42 per cent is a little thing. Does anybody believe the whole democratic chances are staked on a little thing ? Once in the light direc tiott by popular approval, the party of Mills, Carlisle and Cleveland will take as long a step as they like. Ik General Hariumx is elected, busi ness will not only not be di&turbed.but it will be encouraged into new life, because it will know there is nothiug to fear from tariff reduction. If Cleveland is re-elected, who knows that Mr. Mills will stop with the Mills bill Better let well enough alone, and save the present tariff, by defeating its enemies. Secretary WnrrNEY, years trying in vain to after several discredit the Roach cruisers and iu contracting for a fleet of English designed vessels, arrays the American nary on paper against the British fleet. He does that, too, a few days after his first cruuer, the Baltimore, Las had a not very brilliant engagement with a canal beat and laid up in dock for repaire. Tiie Democratic orators declare that their party is not in favor of free trade because it is necessary to raise a certain amount of revenue from du'.ies on im ports in order to avoid a direct tax upon the people; and in the next breath they insist that every dollar of the tariff re ceipt is taken out of the pockets of the people. If asked to reconcile these dL recti, conflicting assertions, their answer is, in tbe language of Mr. Alilla. "Go home and soak your head." Postmaster-General Dickinson would not have enjoyed tbe remarks marie !xmt tbs potixl trric crirr L direc-1 tion, if lie hnd attended the meeting of tbe Methodist Preachers' Assocatson on Monday. Ministers do not as a rule bring politics into their discussions, but assuredly there was reason enough for their remarks about tbe inefficiency of tbo mail service. Chaplain MaCabe went so far as to say" right out in meeting" that be hoped there would soon be a change in the Pout Office authorities. When he added that this was a caution to those about to mail anything valuable, he was loudly applauded. Our Methodistic friends evidently feel sure that there is only one prsty to which should be en trusted the responsibility of running the Government of this country. And they are right. New York Tribune. Suppose my friend is an importer of woolen goods, and goes to England and buys a suit for $10. When he gets to New York the Custom officer says, you can't getinto this countay without paying a federal tax, say $3. The $3 is sent to the treasury at Washington. That amount will be added to the price of tbe goods when sold to the consumer. Hon. A. M. Dockery. Suppose this $3 is added, nobody pays it except the man who buys the imported goods. It is probable that when Mr. Jockcry said this in his speech at Excel sior Springs there were not two persons in his audience who spend 50c a year for imported goods, exclusive of sugar, the duty on which is revenue duty defended ind maintained by the democratic party. Consequently, the average person does not pay this $3, or any portion of it. The people who use this high-priced imported cloth, chinaware, or other goods obtained from abroad, can well afford to pay the $3, or $5, if it should be imposed. The average American that is, about 00 per cent of every 100 residents of this country uses American products, and, thanks to the tariff, these are bought here either as cheap, or almost as cheap, as the same oi t of goods can be bought in any other country on the globe.

" I lost forty thousand dollars by a periodical attack of nervous sick head ache, said a Chicago capitalist to a correspondent, pointing across the street to a handsome corner lot. "That lot was sold for ten thousand dollars at pub lic autic-n no years ago. and I intended to buy it, but was too tick with head ache to attend the sale, ami it is now worth fifty thousand dollars."

Send your job work to the Herald office. What Am I To Do? The symptoms of biliousness are un happily but too well known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order and diarrhea or constipation may Ikj a symptom or the two may alternate. There are often hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may lie giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of tbe stomach To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it costs but a trine and thousands attest its efficacy.

"Alkali Jim," whom I have learned to number umoiifc my stntulicst and most highly valued friends among' these hexdy und picturesqno mountaineers, in pei'son is fully six feet 1 all and very slim. The hair on his head is thick, but unnaturally and upparently prematurely white, lleeply Met gray eyes twinkle cheerily above cheek Ixmes, over which is tightly stretched a skin tho color of solo leather, Leneath which tho pluy of every initscle is plainly seen. &pry as a cut and tough ns a pine knot exactly expresses tho physical characteristics of this (juiet, belf contained mountaineer. Tho other evening wo were seated out uido the cabin door, after the day s work was done and supper hail been euten. I had just expressed my wonder as to the way in which "Fidgety Hill,", who is ouo of tho quietest of men, catno by his name, .when Jim, after blowly blowing a cloud of smoke, asked mo: "Did ye ever hear how I kem by my name?" I had not and asked for information. Jim settled himself down comfortably on his rough stool and began: "It uz this yer way. Because, long bout fourteen year ago I hed a bit uv ex perienee thet kem blumo near puttin' an end t'ino an' left mo in jess about th' wuss fix I ever seen, 'hides turnin' my hair plum white ez it Is now in a week's time. 1 wuz a young feller in th' States, 'ith more grit than sense, an' I'd listed iu th' army. 15'longed t' B troop in th' Fourth cavalry We uz stationed down to Fort Bowie, Arizona, an' my timo tiz most out when this thing happened, 'n a wholo company o' soldiers got lost, 'n several uv 'cm died 'n most all perished. n they was th wust suiierm fer a while y ever hear tell on. "Wo uz kep near th' reservation where th Apaches stayed, jess t' bo handy in case o' trouble. One day somo o' th' red levils got out n tuk tii war path, n be- ltuu killm all th settlers they c d find. Our company wuz ordered after 'em when they'd got a dern good start, uv course. VVe'd fit Injuns afore, 'u ruther tuk kindly to it, fer it promised sumthin t break up th monotony o camp life. Our captain was off ou sick leave, 'n thet left us under command o' Lieut. Ilanson Percy, Lis name wuz a young feller 't never 'd been west till he'd been 6ent out from West Point th' same summer. He wuz a reerular dude; wore a white shirt all the time; tillers hed his boots blacked; ketched bugs 'n pinned 'em on a board n studied em; seemed t enjoy it; came from Boston. Thet mostly settled it 'ith th' boys. They didn't fancy fightin' Injuns with him. But orders is orders, 'n grumbliu' don't go, so wo started, all the same. "Th Apaches wuz last repox'ted 'bout a hundred 'n fifty miles north. T' git on ther trail we hed t' cross oue o' them dem plains full o' alkali 'n sage bresh 'a noth ln' else but rocks 'n sand, 'n mebbe a few cactus 'n mesquit thrown in fer good measure. Water wuz not t' be thought on there, only in spots, where they uz a pool here 'n a spring there, jess so it wouldn't all bo like hell, I reckon. None on us knowed th lay o' th' land, so wo tuk a guide Mexican Joe, they called him a big headed, bow legged feller, 'ith a bull fiddle voice 'n a mean look. He said he knowed every inch o' th' ground 'n speci ally all th ' waterin' places. It wer 'n August, 'u ef you've ever bin in Arizona 'bout dog days y' know what tbat'means. Th' sun jiss nachully blazed down 'u that alkali plain wer red hot 'n gitten hotter every blessed minit. 'N ez they wuzn't a mite o' shada 'n no umberils we jess hed t' take it. We hed all our cantounsf filled when wo started 'n expected V git fth' first waterin' place before night. Long "bout noon kejij up a sand storm. Worst things y' over Been, them san'l storms is. Th' wir.d jess lifts th' hull surface o' th' yearth 'n makes it turn snmmcrsets 'ith itself, so when Hi luns over y don t know th' place ver seen a hour afore. This ez th" worst ono I ever seed. .

But, Lord, we didn't know whero wo wuz v.-lien it quit. in lay o' th' land wuz changed all 'round. Th' hills 'n' hollers had swapped places.

Thet dern fool Mexican jess flopped off his horse 'ii ontq his knees a begun ' beg fer percy, a hohlin up his hands Ue he wnz ppayiu'. Th' lieutenant laughed at 'm ho didn't know ez well cz he did after wards thet gittin' lost on a alkili plain ain't no laughiu" matter- 'u told him t" tAt on his hoss n come on. He did so, but I seed he uz 'bout rum crazy most o them Mexicans hafn't t' fur t' go t' crazy land anyhow. We kep a-goin' till dark, 'n hed t' stop 'u camp. Th' Losses wnz sufferiu', but we couldn't help 'cm. By th' time we hed breakfast next raornin' they wuzn't a pint o' water left in the camp- We wus sura we'd be all right in th moroin', fer we'd see th' sun. But we didn't see a glimpse o' him. Th' clouds wuz worse 'n th' day afore. D'rectly we Led another storm, like th' first, only not quite so bad. Bat we suffered lots more from it. . An boar afterward tn ueu ten ant pulled up his horse short like 'n Inked 'round, fairly dazed. We waz right down V our camp o tn night aforo. We uz goin' in a circle.

Then all f once ho give a howl 'u set his spurs into his horse s sides 'n set off at a gallop. Th dern fool had gone crazy, sure enough! Th lieu tenant sent a quad aft.'r him 'n they catched him 'n brought him back, a chat teriu' idgit. He wuz out o' th' game. Th lieutenant hed got mighty quiet 'n poko low 'n gentle like. He called up two or three o th' sergeants 'n tulked to Vni. livery man hed a different opinion. Fi nally we started on agin. We coi-Mn't git lost worse 'n wo wuz already, 'n ef we kep agoin' sornetliin' might eoiuo uv it. Wo kep agoin' all day. resting frequent, btit we didn't get no whar. No huh yet. Every body was a sufferiu' terrible. Th bosses wuz as bad. They couldn't go out o' a walk. Our eyes wuz blood aliot. Our lips wuz cracked 'n bl.ediu'. Th' wind blowed th' alkali dust Into th' sores. Thet uz 'bout like red pepper rubbed into a wound. We couldn't sleep. Ef n man did drop off ho'd dream ' lakes 'n livers 'u springs 'n moss covered buckets in th' well 'n water all 'round, but ho couldn't get n drop uv it. font it'd all run away from him when hoti i' d t' drink, till he'd scream in his agony ':i v.,ko up and find himself drier n tlii.'.iier u weaker'n ever, till he'd shudd-.-r n turn over 'n shot his eyes 'n try f lyJ';;it it idl, only t' go over th' wholo minery i:j':i when he'd drop into a doze.

But th' middle o' th' afternoon th' lieu tenant seemed t' make up his mind s-oi:ie-thin'd got t' be done, lie chilled a lot. to gether 'n held a council. Then he tuk eight men 'n we all tfive up our cantei-us t' them eight. Wo went into cainj 'n tho eight lit out, two together, on each o' th' four sides. Wo watched 'm out o' bight, 'n never exjieeted t' see any more o them. When it got dark we made a bright fire 'n kept it a-goin. 'Bout ten or 'loven o'clock I heard a gun 'u got up t listen. D'rectly I heard it agin. So'd everybody else. We lired off a carbine 'n kep' a bhootin' 'bout every half minute, tell, after awhile, tho two what 'd rodo off th' way we thought uz east come ridin' into camp, every canteen full o' water 'n them n their bosses fresh 'n smart ez y' please. They'd found water, 'u 'twasn't more'n six miles away either. When they come ridin' up 'n shigin' out 'Water!' you'd a thought wo uz all lunatics. Two more men hed died since we camped, 'n a dozen more never 'xpected to git home; but every one o' them got up 'n got a swig uv a canteen 'n giv up all notion o' dyiu'. They never wuz a bigger change in men. Uv course they wuzn't only jess one-fourth a canteen to each man, but it uz lifo in it, yer bet. Men cried 'n praved, rough fellers liko them wuz, too, when they know'd they could git a drink. Half uv us couldn't hev held out another day under thet hot sun 'n in thet alkali dust.

"Well, wo jess broke camp, thet is, all but a squad t stay 'n wait fer tot her six fellers, 'n started fer th' waterin' place our fellers had found. We got there long 'fore niomin', and in two hours uz all right agin, though it uz a powerful poor waterin' place, only a dep boh; 'n a kinder pond in a sorter ravine.
