We shall recover from our astonishment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legislative wdl of the people’s repre sentatives, or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one involving the integrity and safety of American institutions. HE LOVES democracy's PRINCIPLES. “I love the principles of true de mocracy because they are founded in patriotism and upon justice and fair ness toward all interests. I am proud of my party organization because it is conservatively sturdy and persii - tent in the enforcement of principles. Therefore, I do not despair of the efforts made by the house of repre sentatives to supplement the bill al ready passed by further legislation, and to have engrafted upon it such modifications as will more nearly meet democratic hopes and aspira tions. "I cannot be mistaken as to the necessity of logics' and sensible tariff reform. The extent to winch this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging and redeeming features; but it is vexa tious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied us. “A recent letter of the secretary of the treasury discloses the fact that both might have been made free by the annual surrender of only about S7OO,(XM) of unnecessa ry revenue. “I am sure that there is a com mon habit of understanding the importance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regard ing them as is only related to con cessions to he made to our manu facturers. The truth ts, their in fluence is so far-reaching that if disregarded, a complete and benefi cent scheme of tariff reform can not be inaugerated. A PLEA FOR FREE RAW MATERIAL. “When we give our manufact urers free raw materials we un shackle American enterprise and ingenuity, and those will open the doors of foreign markets to the re ception of our waits and give op portunity for the continuous and remunerative employment of American labor. With mat‘rials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the cost of their product must be correspond n ;ly cheap. i'uereupon justice and fairnes to the consumer would demand ihat the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such a readjustment and raod'ficatiou of che tariff on ibeir finished as would se cu’O to the people the benefits of the reduced costs of their manu facture, and shield the consumer against the exactions of inordinate profits. It will thus be seen that free raw material and a just and fearless regulation and reduction of tne tariff to meet the changed condi tions, would carry to every bum ble home in the land the blessing of increased comfort and cheaper living. The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform,should be exhort ed to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare and guarding against treachery under half heartedness in their camp. Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairly set tled in the interest and to the ben efit of a patient and long suffering peop'e.

She met Eugene Suhrer and they were married in 1876. Suhrer’s heart was too big to be filled completely by love for Mrs. Suhrer, and her daughter by her first marriage capti vated him. About this time it was a merry household, rendered additionally merry by the fact that Mrs. Suhrer bore three children to the loving Mr. ISuhrer, Then the latter discovered that her first husband was living, and it is alleged, brought suit to have the marriage annulled, but it nev er came to trial. Finally he ran aw’ay with Mrs. Suhrer’s daughter by her first hus band and went to Westfield Mass. Mrs. Suhrer followed him and had criminal action started against him for his relations with her daughter, but he defended it by laiming that he had never been reallv married to her, as she had a husband living at that time. The suit was dissmissed and Suhrer married the daughter. Catherine. She also bore him three children, who are thus not only the brothers and sisters but also the cousins of the children of Mrs Suhrer No 1. besides being tuat unfortunate lady’s grandchildren. A Raidesnake in a Catfish. Not long since Theo.

The fish appeared to be very much swollen, or at least very full of some thing He cut it open and was as tonished to find a large rattlesnake in its stomach- The snake was not di gested, in fact, was just beginning to swell, and this swelling is what is supposed to have caused the fish’s trouble. It was getting so full ofgas it could not sink, Mr. Armstrong stretched the snake out and measured it, I’ was three feet long. The snake's bead had been beaten and its rattles were gone, which led him to believe that some one killed it, took off its rattles and threw i into the river, where it was swallow ed by the ftsh.—Galveston News. iters uucqualed advantages to young mtn desiring a b ess education or Shorthand.

Got on 3 Spree and Wound up by Taking his Life. Duluth, Minn., August 27. —Col. Robert G. Ingersoll’s recent letter asserting suicide is no sin, is part ly responsible for a suicide that came to light today. The b<xiy of Joseph McNarne, thirty pears vid, and single, was found on the beach of Mineusota Point, a short distance east of the ship canal, and it is probable he threw himself in and was carried out into the lake by the current which sweeps around Minnesota Point. The body was almost unrecog nizable because it had been pound ing on the beach a long time. His hands and feet were bound. Eight weeks ago he came here for his health from Kansas City, Mo., where he and his brother had been in business. He spent his S4OO in a spree and became despon dent when his brother refused to send him money for his hotel bill. To his fellow boarders he talked suicide and quoted Ingersoll, and ten days ago he disappeared. His parents who are well-to-do, live at Junction City, Kan. Miners Won’t Accept.
