Congress adjourned today.
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. Globe Democrat.

Tabooed by tbo Czar.
Any book of poems which has the word
"tyrant" in it cannot pass the Russian
frontier. The czar thinks it a direct hit at
him. An English book was lately tabooed
because it had the sentence, "God's free
air." All the air In Russia belongs to
royalty. Detroit Free Press.
Too Hearily Loaded.
Almost every man of energy loads him
self up, if he has the opportunity and
means, with more business and projects
cud attempts than his brain can hold.
So that we either are fools or else make
ourselves such. Bar-Homan.
Lubbock on Bees.
Sir John Lubbock, speaking of bees be
fore the British association, said that
there "seems stromr evidence that the
mother can control the sex of the egg."
What goes to waste in many kinds of
business is far more than what eroes to

$40,000 Lost.
" 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." If he had
known of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets they would have removed the
cause of his headaches biliousness and
he would have made the money. Dr.
Pierce's i'Lant Purgative Pellets cure
sick headache, iviiip.vs headache, dizzi
ness, constipation, indigeo, and bil
ious attacks, 25 cents a vial, by Jug
gists. 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.
"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

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

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

This ez th" worst ono I ever seed. . Th'

'bout half an" lioiir,' I reckin, hough it
seemed half a day t'u.i. An' stopped ez
quick ez it started. 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.
We d huddled up tu best we could while
th' storm lasted, 'n thev wuzn't ono uv us
could tel y. hicli w ay ws coruo or which
way j-ve'd bin goln- p'ver -see-a worse

turned every way 'n each way he uz sure

"Well, wo kep a-goin' till long awhilo

but I seed he uz 'bout rum crazy most o

'n hed t' stop 'u camp. Th' Losses wnz

Every body was a sufferiu' terrible. Th

o' a walk. Our eyes wuz blood aliot.
Our lips wuz cracked 'n bl.ediu'. Th'

But th' middle o' th' afternoon th' lieu

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

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

could git a drink. Half uv us couldn't

"Well, wo jess broke camp, thet is, all
