LET BIG CHIEF WITH STICK GO HANG, At the MBHomc theatre in Lou isville, Kv., Thurxday nit'llt ol JjiHt will, Henry Wntternon pr«- k filed ami whs tlio principal apeak* , rat tin- Democratic rally, Tliih wan Mr. Wntlci'Non'« find politi cal speech hiiii'i* 1892, and will probably lie his only platform ut terance during the preoenl cam paign. .Mr. Walter Hon Hoid in part : “I truly rejoice that I have lived tn lmik upon a reunited D<- mocracv. I watt Itorn in 11 Demo crat ie camp, during what proved a had year for Democrat*, and 1 attained my majority just ill time tu see the party go over the preci pice of sectionalism, to what seemed its mill. “The pol it icians tell you that t here an- many issues up for set tlement in this campaign. I sec hut one. II we cannot change our rulers at will —if an organized and delimit minority inside a fortress can withstand Die seige of an un disciplined and ill-eqtlipped mil- I <>r 1 1y on the outside —how shall talk ahntit trusts and tuiifi'a,about rebaieu and hank deposits, about Kurnev and morals and stocks nhd bonds profit us? “1 behold now an almost exact reproduction of the evil condi tions of fifty years ago. The Re publican party, grown corrupt and arrogant, is putting forth a tie-, inendoiis effort to retain the pow-j er which d lias so misused. It it sueeeeds it w ill never surrender It short of some dire cataclysm,mak ing its exit the signal for, it may he, a civil war. To that end its; policies of militaryißin, fuvont- ! ism and class distinct ion have long been tending, preparing a new ir-l lepresHihle contliet hot ween ca pi lul and labor. I prav God that this may novel come. Hut t lie way to avert it is by occasional i changes of party, bringing home to our public men their subordi liitt 101 lto t 111 people. •'ll 1 were a Itepuhlicnn 1 would vote for Bryan. If I were a Re publican I would let the big chief w ith Ins l*ig stick,'go hang. If 1 were a Republican I would turn mv hack upon a candidate, no matter how personally aooeptuple, | who represents Die vicious meth-j ods of ring rule and the steam l roller. “Whatever usefulness the Re publican party ever possessed, it lias for the time outlived. It stands today a menace to equal | taxation, and economic adminis tration, if not to orderly govern-* nu nt and tree 111 st itut ions. “Its leaders know tins, and knowing it, they began early to> prepare for the coming prosiden- ! tial buttle: to fortify a Held which they thought to make impregnable by the outlay of vast resources and engineering skill. “They expected to draw us into this bloody ambuscade, and to slaughter 11s like sheep in tin shambles Disappointed in their plan, what do we now see ? \V< see all disguise of decency thrown aside; the black llag of trustism run up to the mast head :l lie decks crowded with corporation counsel. The occupant of the White House summons the unspeakable Hearst as Ins star witness. The honest rich are invoked to make common cause with the lawless rich. All the perspectives of truth and so bernees and common sense are lost uin id the roar of rant and cant of self-glorifying laudation and selt accusing promises of reform, with Aldrich and Cannon, with Payne ami Delzell and Sunny Jim Sher man for their examples.

Social life among the Italians is really not .so dilTc'-nt from social life in other countries, although , ,-crtain national peculiarities mii-t he remarked, say- Harry Quimb lin Leslie's Weekly. Italians even ; in the most elaborate homes do not • wear evening dross for dinner lin i less* there is a party. The particu larly fashionable wear a smoking i coat, and a black tie, but the pla n I black coat is more universally used. All over Italy social life is charac terized by great love of outward display. In Naples particularly the afternoon drive or promenade i important. to reputation and Itappi ne-s. The following will illu-lrate the prevailing feeling: An Amen can who had taken a flat in a pala zio, the first floor of which was oc cupied by a noble family in re duced i irciinistnnccH, noticed even i day a servant going up the step I carrying a pair of carriage door- I’pon investigating he found that [the noble family shared a carriage with other families and that emli had its coat of arms upon its own doors. Fewer Kalians go to the famous watering places than people of any other country. The popular annual tonic of the Kalians consists of eat ing grapes. The treatment includes grape juice and grapes, as much as can he taken, in the morning and at noon a rare beefsteak. In tin afternoon more grapes and grape juice are partaken of, and at ? in Die evening another rare beefsteak. This is continued for three weeks, when the patient is said to look and feel like a different person. Tin grapes purify the system, and Die beef acts as a tonic and keeps tip the strength, according to Die Itu 1 iun physicians. Birds With Lamps. “As we roAved softly in the still, cold night,” said a nature student, “we saw u number <>f faint blurs of light along the shore. They were like fairv lamps that had been swathed in some pale sort of gauze. “‘What on earth can they he?’ I asked. “‘Them’s kingfishers,’ said mv guide. ‘Them’s kingfishers a-fishin’.’ “ ‘But the lights?’ “‘The lights is the phosphfTres cenee on Die birds’ breasts,’ said the old hunter. ‘ln the soft down on a kingfisher’s breast there is a phos phorescence that glows in Die dark. The bird is aware of this here nat ural light o’ liisn, and lie uses it. lie stands on the edge o’ Die stream, the sutiie us them fellers there, put tin’ ins breast to the wider, an’ Un fa iiit light draws the tisli to him, consumed Aiitli curiosity, an’ lie has no difficulty in pickin’ up a quare men! for himself an’ family.’”— Cliirugo Inter Ocean. The Sausage. The sausage dates hack to the year *9l. It has been asserted that Die Greeks in the days of Homer niuniifactored sausage, but this pre historic mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so called sausage was ilmiposed of the same materials which enter in the makeup of Die boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French Vunndian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. It was not until Die tenth century that sausage made of hashed pork became known. It was in or near the vear I.MH) that, thanks to Die in treduction into Germany of cinna mon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Siras»l,iirg acquired a universal reputation. — I’liiludelpliia Record. Holding an Empty Bag. Two concerns consolidate under a holding company, the third comes in, and another company is formed to hold the original holding com pany and the newcomer, making three operating concerns and two holders. Thus things go on until the operating companies equal X and the holding companies equal X —l. When this brood of corpo rate children gets into lin.-im ial trouble the reversal of the proc ess begins. There is appointed a re ceiver or tAvo for each operating company and each holding company, whose administration finally leaves the holders of the securities holding an empty hag,- Wall Street Jour nal. What Troubled Pat. An old Irish laborer walked into the luxurious studio of a New York artist and asked for money to ob tain a meal, as he avus too weak to work. The artist gave him a quarter and then, seeing possibilities for a sketch in the queer old fellow, “I'll c.ve you a dollar if you'll let mo paint you.” “Sure,” said the nun. “it'- an easy way to make a dollar, but- -but I'm wonderin’ how I'd get it off.” —Ladies’ Home Journal. I CANADIAN HARE SKINS. Made Into Warm, Soft. Light Blanket* by the Indians. From tlie fur of the Canadian K,ir»-, which ('line- -outh into the Cnited ''late- and in winter turns -now white, the Indians make one of the warmest and softest of blan | kets. After the skin has been cured and made supple it is cut with a rp knife into a singie narrow rip mum - feet in length. The strip carefully curled into a tube seven i Ion::, with an inner diameter of Mtiier more than a quarter of hd "idi and an outer diameter of about half an inch. The skin is thin, but tough, so 'that the lube is light, but strong. ; The edges are sewed together with ••rent -ire and firmne-s. Enough , ■i r tlie.-c tube- are made to form a blanket seven feet aqua re. When all are made they are sew ed together with animal sinews, so that lie blanket is almost as strong- Iv made as if ii were woven. All this is done bv the Indian women, the men merely trapping the hares, which are <•< numerous in the far north nf Canada that the trapper in iv catch dozens in a single night. When finished the blanket is a beautiful thing of dazzling white -1 ne-s, extremely light and very • warm. Its warmth is secured not only by the fur. but also by the air in the many slender tubes. In time the blankets |o=c their beautiful whiteness, but they retain their es sential qualities and last for years. They are highly prized by the In dians, and they fetch good prices. As a matter of fact, they are seldom < en outside of Canada, and, like an eiderdown quilt, they are overivarm j for heated houses in this latitude. It is probable that fully 200 rab bits gn to the making of such a blanket, since one skin makes but a single narrow strip of the whole “even feet. An old Indian chief was asked one night as he sat be fore his campfire in the north how manv skins were required for a blanket. He looked at the question- j t*r and said, with a smile: “I’ll tell you how many skins make a rabbit blanket. “You go out into a clear spot in the woods when the snoiv is very ; deep in early winter und give a whole day to felling trees and gath ering light, dry wood for a fire. Then at night you make vour fire, a very big fir,-, of all the wood you have gathered. “It will light up all the clearing and will melt the surface snow for i many yards around. The hares will come out of tlie woods in whole families, attracted by the light of | your til t*, and Avill crouch on the ! surface of the melting snow to J Avatcli it. There they will sit for j hours until the fire has gradually died down. “Meanwhile the cold night will have again frozen the surface of the snow, and the rabbits, which have covered it so thick you cannot see anything but their fur and their I eyes, will freeze tight to the freez- j ing snoAv. You can go out with a stick then and knock them all on the head, but it will be a big job. When it is done, hoAvever, you'll lia\e enough rabbit skins to make a blanket like mine.” Washington Bust. Woman. What constitutes society? Wom an. She is its sovereign arbitress. It exists for her and for her exclu sively. But woman forms the great educational influence for man. She it is trains him in the gifts that | ! charm —courtesy, discretion and the pride that shudders to he self as sertive. She it is teaches a few the j art of pleasing and all the useful art of not displeasing. From her we learn the lesson that human so ciety is more complex and more del- , ; ieatelv adjusted than is generally | suspected by the politicians of the cases. Last, but not least, it is she , brings home to us the great truth i that the ideals of sentiment and the visions of faith are invincible forces and that it is bv no means reason that governs humankind.— Anatole France in "Garden of Epi curus” Shakespeare. Pretty nearly everything about I Shakespeare i- uncertain, and most I statements concerning him need to ; be made in a provisional It is ; generally understood that his dra- ! nuitie career began about 1589 or 1590, when he was between twenty- ; t:\e ami twenty-six year- old. He j died in ItilG, and if. as is generally j assumed to be the ease, his birth year was 1564. he died at the com- < parativelv early age of fifty-two.— New York American. j High Toned.
