HIS WORD FOR SUGAR.
1 resident ( levcdaud'k Imlefrnslhly Aud:t
«•!<>"» I.etter to tile lluuw.
liebident Cleveland’s letter was
remarkable for nothing else so much
US Its indefensible audacity. It is
not the first time that he lias under
taken. the unwarranted liberty of
meddling with tho constitutional
du.,ios of a co-ordinate branch of the
government: that ho should do so
openly and make his act a matter of
official public record is to say tho
least astounding. Heyond this there
is nothing surprising in tho letter,
lie makes a partisan argument in
mvor of free raw materials and then,
as if merely by incidental mention,
declares in favor of the senate sugar
schedule.
_As to sugar, as long ago as February
- - , he was authoritatively jdedged
to the interests of the trust, even
before the tariff bill had been re
pbrted to the senate. On that day
the Democratic senators held a
caucus on tho subject, and Senator
White, who had already been ap
pointed and confirmed as associate
justice of the supreme court, parti
cipated in its deliberations for the
purpose of announcing the pres
ident’s position towards sugar. He
announced that the president had,
both before and since March 4, 1893.
promised tnat there should be a duty
on “both raw and refined” sugars.
He said that he had continued to act
as senator after having been con
firmed as associate justice of the
supreme court lor the purpose of
explaining to the caucus the pledges
of the president with regard to
sugar.
8o the senators know where the
president stood on that subject, says
the Kansas City Journal, and the
only purpose he could have had in
handing this letter to Chairman
Wilson was to notify the house that
the sugar schedule had his full coun
tenance, and to let it be known by
the senate’s conferrees that he would
have them save the sugar trust even
sit the expense of tho iron and coal
trusts.
It was generally believed in the
best informed circles in Washington
that if an agreement could be made
on the sugar schedule a report could
be made within two days. Mr.
Cleveland undertook to make such
an agreement possible by openly pro
nouncing in favor of the trust
schedule which was originally writ
ten by the secretary of the treasury.
Hosrg’s Itevolution.
Governor Hogg of Texas has been
performing a public service again.
In offering his prediction that a rev
olution impends, in accordance with
the prevailing fashion to which none
yields more readily than Mr. Hogg,
the governor goes to the extent of
minutely describing the more
palpable and noticeable effects of
the same and specifies as a distinc
tive mark of his revolution that Chi
cago’s “lofty buildings will be
.^spattered with the hearts, lungs and
livers of citizens.”
This, says the Detroit Tribune, is
a useful symptomatology. Nobody
is going astray as to Governor
Hogg’s revolution, and take it to be
a Sunday school picnic or a common
weal army. Now. when the people
of Chicago wake of a morning and
find the hearts, lungs and livers of
citizens spattered all over their
lofty buildings, they may turn to
each other in all confidence and say:
“This is revolution," and proceed
about their avocations with the as
surance that it is only born of a full
understanding of surrounding con
ditions. Travelers, too, in proceed
ing through the second city of the
land, and noticing extraneous sub
stance upon the lofty buildings
which proves on examination to be
•the hearts, lungs and livers of
citizens, will recognize the revolu
tion at once and insist upon the
usual excursion rates.
With Governor Hogg’s distinct
specification of symptoms, there can
be no misunderstanding. The sight
of citizens without hearts, lungs and
livers will mislead nobody. Unless
those parts are spattered on the
lofty buildings of Chicago the oc
currence will promptly be pro
nounced a fake and treated as such.
It is no time to inquire why the
governor insists upon hearts, lungs
and livers to the exclusion of other
useful organs, notably the stomach,
pancreas, and vermiform appendix:
why he selects the lofty buildings of
Chicago rather than of another city,
or why the viscera of citizens and
not of aliens orlndians are not taxed.
The governor seems to know whereof
he speaks. The only thing for the
people to do is to extend him their
gratitude and keep a sharp lookout
for the appearances ho indicates.

No good can be expected from the
Fopulist party, for the reason that
it is made up of misfits and freaks of
all kinds who have no proper knowl
edge of public questions and no
ability to order public affairs.
Many of them were chronic office
seekers in other parties, and failing
there, entered the Fopulist party in
the hope of accomplishing their am
bition. These men now seek to ride
into power with a new party, but
they have been tried long enough to
show that their rejection by the old
parties was wise, and that to again
intrust them with official authority
would be folly.—Denver Kepublican.

1 he Nicaraguan Canal.
The Boston Herald is in favor of
the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, but it is opposed to any part
nership between the government
and a canal company. It wants the
government to build the canal and
own and operate it. There is merit
in this suggestion. Some objection
might be made by the government
of Nicaragua, but if ail such ob
stacles were out of the way. it would
seem to be the best method of se
curing the desired highway be
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Partnerships of the kind to which
the Herald objects have not been
the best in the world, and in the
history of this country they have in
some cases led to great scandal
Certainly something should be done
very soon to determine who should
construct the canal and whether it
is to be built at all or not.—Denver

For Campaign Purposes.
It is a fact worth remembering for
campaign uses that when the house
passed the resolution indorsing
Cleveland’s course during the strike,
the Democrats refused by an over
whelming majority to permit a roil
call, or, in other words, to put them
selves individually on record. Ac
cordingly, they can go home and tell
their constituents that they did not
vote for it, as shall seem to be best
for them in seeking a re-clection.—

Ilcaring With Their Eyes.
Miss Iloultbee, a charming little
Englishwoman, is doing a noble work
at No. 37 Gloucester Place, Portman
square, London, in the education of
those who are deaf and dumb, and
others who are only deaf, so that
they can communicate with their
fellow beings practically as well as if
they were endowed with all their
faculties. She teaches the dumb how
to talk and the deaf to understand
language by watching the motions of
the lips of those who are speaking.
She prefers to take her pupils, es
pecially those who are wholly deaf
and dumb, when they are little chil
dren. She consented the other day
to explain her system to a writer,
and the result is shown in this article.
The writer noticed that hA- apart
ments were arranged with a view to
proving agreeable to the eye, the
evident purpose being to satisfy the
sense of sight in which her little com
pany were not defective. It was just
after she had given a lesson when she
began to talk about her method.
Meanwhile her pupils stood apart and
conversed in a low tone, but their
voices sounded so natural that no out
sider would have suspected that they
did not hear one another perfectly.
Miss Boultbee noticed her visitor’s
surprise and said:
“I insist upon their talking aloud,
though the simple motion of the lips
is all that is necessary to make them
understand. But if they did not use
their voices thev would soon lose
them.”
she then went on to say that in her
opinion this plan was much better
and certainly more graceful than the
old-fashioned finger alphabet. She
advanced the idea that for those who
have not entirely lost the sense of
hearing it would be much pleasanter
to watch the lips of other persons
speaking to them than to be screamed
at through a hideous ear trumpet. It
would also enable such persons to
join more readily in a conversation
and to know much more that is going
on, because the tendency is not to
say very much to any one who uses an
ear trumpet. In explaining her sys
tem further, Miss Boultbee said:
“The German, or ‘pure oral’ system
of teaching the deaf, was invented
by Heinieke. It v, as kept a secret for
many years, but it lias now been re
duced to thoroughly scientific princi
ples and is open to the world. I first
began to study it because of my anxie
ty for my sister, who was totally deaf.
, and the further I pursued my investi
gation the more I became fascinated
with my subject. I studied at Ealing
for a year and decided to take up
teaching as a profession. That was
ten years ago, and when I say that I
have been successful it is not through
vanity. If you want to appreciate the
full value of this system for the
instruction of the deaf you must
picture to yourself a child, such a
child as was one of these young
pupils of mine a few years ago, eight
years old, perhaps, who has never in
her life heard a sound. Language
has no meanin g for her. She thinks
in pictures. Impressions are her only
thoughts. That child comes to me,
and I make her understand that she
is to imitate me in the breathing ex
ercises, which are the beginning of
the system. She gets her first idea
of what sound is when I make her
feel the vibrations of the vocal chords,
which I do by placing one of her
hands against my throat and the
other against her own while she pro
nounces after me the vowel sounds.”

Tiro Famous Dogs.
At Berkeley- castle in 339'J there was
a memorable meeting between Rich
ard II., the last Plantagenet king,
and Henry, of Lancaster. Richard
had a noble greyhound with him, a
dog that had never eaten from any
hand but nis, or noticed any one with
favor save his royal master. Sir Wal- |
ter Scott, in “Woodstock,” describes
Sir Henry Lee’s dog. Bevis, as being
one of the same stock, “fleet as a
greyhound, but strong as a mastiff:
tawny-colored with black muzzle and
feet and a white ring around his
toes.” Richard, in amazement saw
his dog leave him and caress Henry-,
nor could he be persuaded to leave
his new master's side.
“He goes to the new king,” said
Richard, bitterly.
He was right, for Henry, afterwards
Henry IV. of England, won from him
| not only his dog, but the crown as
| well.
Charlrs 1. also hart a pet greyhound, \
which was constantly with him while ;
lie was a prisoner at Hampton court.
He felt himself in great danger there,
fearing that one of the soldiers might
try to kill him and he wanted to es
cape.
He was a very unfortunate man
about his secrets, for they were ai- i
ways found out. He did not intend to
; let any one know when he left Hamp- :
| ton. It was twilight and he had
I planned to go quietly out of the gar- I
; den through a part of it called Para- j
i dise, which was planted thickly with :
trees, so that it was too sliadowv at i
dark for any one to be seen distinctly.
He could not take his favorite dog
with him and as soon as he was gone
the dog began crying in the most piti- :
ful way. Some of the attendants I
came quickly to see what had hap
pened and found out the king's secret. 1
Poor king, he had the same ill luck
when ha was brought back to his trial
and death. In going through New
burg forest, in which he had hunted
so often that he knew every nook and
corner, it was planned that he was to
complain of his horse, when Lord
Newburg would offer his own, “the
swiftest horse in all England.” At a
point further on other horses and men
awaited him.
Alas, the swift horse was found lame
in its stall and as Charles glanced
around he saw that the hundred men
guarding him had each a loaded pistol
ready in his hand.
Of all his plans of escape none had
been so easy or practicable as the one
his affectionate greyhound had unwit
tingly betrayed.—Philadelphia Times.
Gakcohr ami Ganconades.
In days gone by there lay in the
southwestern portion of France the
province of Gascony. This lias now
been divided into four sections, which
are known as the departments of
Landes, Gers, Ariege, and the Upper
Pyrenees, containing, it is estimated,
no less than a million inhabitants. A
great peculiarity of these natives is
their frequently manifested tendency
to boast, and so strongly developed
has the quality of the bluster been in
them from time immemorial that both
our own and the French language
have been enriched by words derived
from the name of the province. Thus
a gascon is set down in the diction
aries as a “boaster or a braggart; a
vainglorious person;” and a gasconade
in English, or a <jasconnu.de in French,
is the name given to all boastful,
vaunting talk. For instance, the dic
tionary of the French academy, to
illustrate the meaning of yasconnadc,
gives an example: “II dit quill sc bat
trait contre die homines; vest unc <ja.s
connade”—t. c., “He says he would
fight ten men; ’tis a gasconade.”
Of course, however, the fame of
gasconades does not depend entirely
on mere flat boasting like this, but on
the intermixture of wit and piquancy
with the most prodigious self-exalta
tion. The following are some exam
ples we have met with.
A Gascon preacher stopped short in
the pulpit. It was in vain that he
scratched his head; nothing would
come out. “My friends,” said he, as
he walked quietly down the pulpit
stairs—“my friends, I pity you, for
you have lost a fine discourse.”
A young Gascon arrived at Paris for
the first time. It was in summer,
and he went to see the Tuileries im
mediately on his arrival. IVhen ha
saw the gallery of the Louvre, “Upon
my honor,” said he, “I like it vastly.
Methinks I seethe back of my father’s
stables.”
A Gascon officer hearing some one
celebrating the exploits of a prince
who, in an assault upon a town, had
killed six men with his own hand,
“Bah!” said he, "I would have you to
know that the very mattresses I sleep
upon are stuffed with nothing else
but the whiskers of those whom I
have sent to slumber in the next
world!”
A Gascon in proof of his nobility,
asserted that in his father’s castle
they used no other firewood but the
batons of the different marec'nals of
France of his family.—Harper's Young
People.

Rabelais were: “1 am going to take a

A Good Manure Trap.
Rural New Yorker says that a good
manure trap can be made out of nails
and boards by almost any one who can
hold a hammer. The best form is that
of an open shed in a pasture. It ma\r
be temporary or fixed. Shelter and
shade are the bait for these traps. Iu
hot or rainy weather the stock will go
there for rest and shelter. The result
is that manure accumulates on these
spots. It is a first rate plan to put one
of these traps on the poorer spots in the
field. That is where you want to catch
the manure.
