In not a single instance did Cleveland appoint a southern man of whom such a tiling could be said. Ax understanding has been arrived at between the governments of tha United States, England and Germany, in con sequence of which each power will keep but one man-of-war at Samoa pending the decision of the conference. It is a pity this common sense arrangement was cot made when the conference was first decided upon, in which case four vessels and many lives would haye been saved from destruction. As there are more people camped now on the borders of Oklahoma than there is land enoagh for and more people are on their way, it looks as if there will be a great rush on the 2'nd inat, as rafts are being constructed to float down the Arkansas river; relars of fast horses have been arranged to carry claim seekers in every direction. It looks as if there would be bloodshed in the adjustment of conflicting rights and a number of east ern papers have made arrangements and sent special correspondents there to pub lish the whole story as it will occur. frospehous sioujt city. It is admitted, we believe, in all hands, that the prohibitory law is bvtter enforced in Sioux City than any city in Iowa. Yet we read in yesterday's Omaha litpubl ican an interview with Hon. John A. Mc Shane in which he is represented as say ing that "Sioux City is booming ahead at a wonderful rate aud has been for two years past. In the same column Mr. Mc Shane's statements are corroborated by Mr. Mahooey of Sioux Citv who saj-s the city has more than doubled in population in the past two years. Will ilr. Hose water of the Bee please make a note of this. He might also state that Daven port, Dubuque and Burlington where the sale of liquor is unrestricted, there is no activity in real estate and business dull. On the other haad in Des Moines and in Sioux City where the law is enforced real estate transfers are .numerous and business is lively. THE SOUTHS ltN REPUBLICANS. The republicans of the south are mani festing a disposition lately to enter upon the work of building up the party in that section with more energy and intel ligence than they have displayed for a good many years. It is very true that t they haye not had much to enconrage them; but it is equally true that they have not as a rule made the best use of their opportunities. They have permit ted themselves to be practically deprived of all political power without making a properly courageous and determined re sistance. Instead of asserting their rights and insisting upon fair and de cent treatment, they have to often tame ly submitted to injustice and humiliation thus disparaging their own cause, and inviting additional outrage. It is not to be believed that ifjthey had stood up resolutely for their principles and their legal privileges, the democratic party could ever have secured such a complete mastery of all the southern states. They have looked Jo the north for service tbey should have rendered as a matter of personal duty; and consequently they have been overcome at every point by their more self-reliant snd aggressive op ponents. In short, they have their own folly and carelessness to b'ame for much of the misfortune which has befallen them. There is still a chance for them to re gain what they haye lost, an l to secure a position which will enable them to exert definite influence in southern politics. Tbey must make protection the basis of their operations, of course; that is the only issue upon which they can hope to organize an effective fight against the democracy. But the logic and virtue of protection alone will not be sufficient to insure their success. They must do some thing more than te point out the fallacy and danger of free trade. Their efforts tnast include a certain degree of bravery and perseverance with regard to other things. Tbey can accomplish nothing so long as they submit to fraud and violence in elections. The most important step of all ii to make voting safe for every citi aen, and to redeem the ballot box from systematic corruption. This does not imply an appeal to force as the only cure Yor the prevailing disorder; but it does Maplj a manly and positiye form of re sistance' under the law, to an evil which has reduced popular gsverument to a far so and mockery in the south. It will not do to say that this enormity will cor rect itself in time, and that it must be patiautly endured while protetive tariff leagues are being instituted. Such an argument is a mere absurdity. The re publicans of the south can never make any headway by conccediug, directly or indirectly, that the democratic policy of suppressing votes is in any sense or for any purpose justifiable or excusable. Tbey must plant themselves squarely up on the ground that such a policy is in famous, and permit nothing to deter them from the employment of all avail able means for its overthrow. To do less than that is simply to court defeat and to deserve it. Globe Democrat. "Why do I Suffer So with headache and vertigo, doctor? I have a bad cough, too, and dull aches under the shoulder-blades, I am losing weight, and am bilious all the time." The courteous physician answers: "If you inquire what is the cause of all this mischies, it is a torpid liver. Thai organ, you ars aware, ;s the largest gland in the body, and its office is to carry off the wuste of the system. When it fails to do its proper work, the refuse of the body is re-absorbed and goes circulating round and in the blood, poisoning, not nourishing, the tissues. But why you continue to suffer in this way I am at a loss to understand, since Dr. Pierce's Medical Discovery would give prompt relief, and future immunity from such attcks." Let Down a Notch. The street car wit is named legion, ne delights to stand on the platform and make remarks which bo believes are funny. The other day one of them stood among the smokers on the front end of an In liana avenue car and waited for an opportunity to bo comical. It soon pre sented itself. At the corner of Twenty secon I street stood an old organ grinder who was grinding away on bis aged in strument. The funny man saw liim and his face lighted up. He was alout to be funny. "Is it not wonderful," he said, "bow that old man there can play those turn's wholly by ear and without the use of notes? lie must be a trained mu sician." And then be looked around at his fi-llow passengers for the expected laugh. No one even smiled, and the driver looked around at him as if won dering whether or not be was clothed in his ri.;ht mind. Thi awful silence pained the street car Touchstone, and the iron was ground deep.T into his soul by a young man who e too. I next to him and who turned and said: "You are mistaken, sir, about that musical instrument. It is a mechanical devLv. and one who is not a musician can p.I.iy it. Then be went on to give the funny man u description of the hand organ, ami wound up by saying: 'Your tuihtahe is erhap3 natural, but when you have lived here in the city longer you will K-arn all about these things." The funny man alighted at the next corner, and the smokers all shook hands with the young fellow who had picked him up so neatly. Chicago Herald. VeIdlnj; Fees. Sai l a well kcown clergyman the otln-i day: "I think tbo cjergy have too much to say about the sinallness of gome of their wedding fees. There is no ear. hiy reason, in the first place, why a irgyman should receive any fee for bis servw s on such an occasion. If fees are to Ik- giv?n at all, they would be much more appropriate when a clergy man is asked to officiate at a funeral, which in some cases may consume sev eral hour of his time. But, granting that a wedding fee is allowable, my ex perience is that fiich fees are as a rule too large rutber than ten) ?mall. I have officiated at tJ6 weddings f4 g. great many mechanics and workingmen, tUf4 and in a large majority of instances the grooms have given me IQ. Some of them liave given 13 and even $20. Now, the lowest of these sums is u of all proportion to the average income of a .mechanic. It is much mora than they can afford for a service which ft Chris tan minister should be glad to ren der for nothing. And in my own prac tice I have always returned tho fee in sue! i .aser unles3 the groom was so fool ishly proud as to refuse it. t But in doing so 1 tvlmit that I am running punter to the : luiotit universal custom c fhe cler.- . My own personal opinion is that in na age like this, wbn the world is so ready to find fault with jtlwa clergy, it would 1? wise to abolish weddfcg ees entirely. At the samo time I do not as.-suia- to decide the matter for any one but myself." New York Tribune. Use Doth Hands. Ktocntly. from my close attention in many years' capacity at the circuit court, I have beei suffering from partial or in cipiei t paralysis of the right liand, or what is otherwise knon as pen paraly sis. t! result, of course, ppnstant writ u:g with that hand. With bo litt? use of that aember, I am beginning to make my left bund very useful, and I find it is a much more important feature than we usually imagine. J think the habi: of cultivating the service of the left l and fclioulJ be more general and taught from early childhood; in that way the flexibility would be established and the right band saved from tho great strain upon it. It is not at all necessary to be what is termed "left handed" to U enatledto use that hand. I know one young lady artist who is not at all so, yet who can use the left hand as well as the right K?rfectly by cultivation. She can draw with the left hand as easily as she can with tho right one, turned to ward the right. My case should bo a warning to writers especially, not to leave all strain to one hand, but to cul tivate tho service of the other, or at least its assistance. I now have to do much of my writing with my left, and accom-2 plish it quite as well as with tho right, and I am, by no means "left handed." St. Louis Glolx Democrat, THE NEWLY WED. A Pulluiau Porter Tell ft r He Spot Theut-KvlU of tlie Uiio Habit. It bi a Pullman porter, who ia talking to an attentive Bcribu. "Hardly a week goes by." says the porter, "that I don't see a bridal couple Just starting out on their honeymoon. I don't exactly know bow I can tell them, but they are as plainly marked to my eyes as if they had tho words 'bride' and 'groom stamped in big letters on their foreheads. There is something about them that gives the whole situation away: a kind of acling-right-next-to-me-darling air. Of course, I have made a mistake now and then, but it is very sel dom I do, and I've often found out, after changing my mind two or three times, that I was right after all, though certain appearances were against it. We gen erally have a test which never fails, and when a doubtful party conies along we spring it on them, just to be 6ure, you know. "What's the test? Well. I'll tell you. Not many weeks ago a couple cot into my car and sat down very quietly in their ami chairs as if they had been used to it all their lives. These didn't seem to have tho bride and groom air about them at all. and from external appearances they might have been brother and bister or married for years, but still there was a something there that made me suspicious, 6o when I saw them together I went to tho news company's boy and I says: 'Bill, here's a doubtful party; get out the sample copies.' "So Bill got his tests and started through the car. IIo banded books to everybody, and when be came to the sus pected party he took out of his pile two little books, and said, so nearly every body could hear him: 'Very useful books, sir; bints on housekeeping and hints to newly married people. Only 25 cents. "That did it. The girl got as red as a rose and the man blushed and said a weak sort of N-n-n-no. Then they looked at each other and sort of snick ered, and 1 caught him full in tho eyes and smiled a sweet smile, giving him a respectful wink at the same time. It was all settled in a minute, and there was no doubt alout it. Well, he took it very good naturedly, and asked me after ward bow in tho world be had given himself away he couldn't imagine. I believe wo could always tell, and talked so nicely be gave mo a dollar when I got through with him. "There are plenty of other giveaways by which 1 can spot a brideand a groom, and they are safe generally as the test. One day a couple came in the car which, by the way was jam full and tho moment they entered it was plain as day that they were newly wedded. I passed by them once or twice, and then went in my closet and got the dust pan and brusli. 1 walked right up to where the bride was silting and dusted up a panful of rico that lay on tho floor around her in a complete circle. Well, if the peoj.lo in that car didn't laugh. I'm another. "Tho custom of throwing rico after a bridal couple always makes it unpleasant for the party, as lots of rice is almost sure to stick to their clothes, hats and in their hair. About tho funniest rice thing I ever saw was that which hap pened in my car just two or three weeks ago. A couplo corao in, and tho test re vealed to ino that they wero bride and groom. They didn't seem to take kindly to it, however, and wo couldn't get any satisfaction out of them at alb By and by tbo man said to bis wife: "Seems to mo tj'is umbrella is not rolled up very nice." "Then be. carefully unrolled it, and, bezing! out came three pr four pocket f uls of rico all over the seats and floor.

Philadelphia Record. forrect Pronunciation. I beard jtbo ,otii(&r day that a prominent clergyman recently lost a jcall to a lead ing church because when preaching a sermon e$ a candidate he pronounced a singlo word incorrectly. ".Oh, doctor, that was a lovely sefmbn j-pu preached this morning," said a lady recently to her pastor l.u a largo New England town, "but if you will pardon me for men tioning it, its effect was very much im paii ed by a little slip in pronunciation: you placed tho accent on the second syl lable of the word 'obligatory' instead of on ttiQ fir1'" The lady in question was one of tiiost? dangerously intelligent women to be fount!' e.vc-Jty.r h?re in New England, and was a member of a fadies otl;oepy society which made Ufe a bur den 4.0 .everybody in the town.

A boy carrj-ing a largo bouquet of roses, somo phlox, heliotrope- and pinks entered a Cottage Grove avenue car yesterday. Among tho passengers inside was a little girl of possibly b years of age. The little one was as pretty a blondinette as one can see, and her woolen dress, spotlessly white, set off her iuvenile beautv ncrfectlv. m i j Everybody was admiring the child. No sooner bad tho flower Toy entered than the car was filled with the per fume of the roses and heliotrope. The little girl soon discovered it and quick: ly gave up her observation from the car window. She approached her mother and began teasing for some of the flowers. Finally when she found out that her mother could not procure any of the much wished for roses the child went right up to the boy. "Will 'oo dive metuni flowers?" she asked. The chances were nine to ten that the boy wouldn't give any. But it was, perhaps, because the little girl was so sweetly charming that he detached a couple of handsome red roses and gave them to her. Triumphantly she returned to her mother. Tho rose3 were pinned to her bosom. At Twentieth street the boy got otl'. Ouioklv the little girl jumped on tho seat. But it was on the wrong side from that on which tho bov was. She jumped off, went to the other seat, and looked out of tho window. She saw tho boy, and he, noticing her. waved his hand. Then she, putting ber rosy fingers to ber mouth, threw him two, three kisses. It was so sweet ly, gracefully done. Then sho settled down and inhaled her dowel's. Chi cago Tribune. Their Deaths Foretold by a Ghost. Robert Withers, M. A. Vicar of Gately, England, in 1700, relates, in a publication of that time, the following singular story of the supernatural: "Mr. Groso went to seo Mr. Shaw on the 2nd of August last. As they wero talking in tho evening Mr. Shaw says: 'On tho 21st of last month, as I was smoking a pipe and reading in my study, between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, in comes Mr. Naylor (formerly fellow of St. John's Col lego, but who had been dead for four years). When I saw him I was not much affrighted, and I asked him to sit down, which, accordingly, he did for uliLiut two hours, and wo talked to gether. I asked him how it fared with him. He said: 'Very well.' Were any of our old acquaintances with him? 'No' (at which I was very much alarmed), 'but Mr. Orchard will be with me very soon, and you not long after.' As he was going away I asked him if he would not stay a little long er, but he refused. 'No, he had but three days' leave pf absence, and he mod other pusiness.' "Mr Orchard died soon after, Mr. Shaw is now dead. He was formerly fellow of St. John's Collecre an in- gen uous, good man, I knew nim there ; but at his death he had a college liv- -a r ii i ing ai uxiorusnire, ana nere ne saw the apparition" Cincinnati Enquirer. A National Flower. More than ten years ago the writer made a suggestion concerning a na tional flower and referred to the fa vorites "pf pther nations. It attracted tho attention 'p' a" few botanists the time and there the matter' rested Of late tho subject has been revived and various, flowers haye been men tioned. Many of them have only a local reputation, or are to be found only in small quantities and in certain sections of the United States. Like Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, whose poem all must remember, I desire to recommend the Golden Rod. It is found in all parts of the United States, and, the botanists tell us, in a hundred varieties. Tho Golden Rod is far from being f,be ."coarse- looking herb" which Webster defines it, but is beautiful in every type, from' the tall spikes on our wave washed shores tq tho delicate fern like blossoms which defy the artist's skill. As America is called tho "Land of Sold," and is rich in resources, why not take this royal blossom for our floral emblem? It represents strength, beauty, brilliancy, and infinite vari ety, with powers of endurance calcu lated to challenge admiration. De troit Free Press. A pjsjntcicntod Friend. ' " " . . . ....
