WHY WE SHOULD KICK. The Indianapolis Sentinel, in discus sing the sugar bounty, says:

But, if Germany can afford to hirts people to make sugar and sell it to us for less than it costs us to make it. why should we kick?"

The German government lias long paid a bounty for the production of beet sugar, and the Sentinel thinks that this is nothing more than hiring people to make beet sugar.- Iu one sense it is but in another sense it is paying for the development of a great industry in that country which has largely increased the profits of farming, given employment to thousands of laborers, increased wages, and last, though not least, cheapened sugar all ever the world, by adding so much to the world's supply of that article. The policy of buying of other nations who can manufacture things cheaper than we can, would be a capital policy if we were all millionaires and had fixed incomes. But the policy entirely ignores the condition of the people. We are not all millionaires, with perpetual incomes from invested capital, but instead we are largely a nation of laborers, earning our living by daily exertion in numerous industries. Suppose we could buy sugar cheaper in Germany than we can make it at home suppose we could buy clothing and iron in England cheaper than we con make them in America, does it follow that we should go abroad for these things? If we buy our supplies from nations that can manufacture them cheaper, on account of cheap labor, than we can, where will our own laborers find employment? What good will that policy do a poor man which offers him cheap sugar from Germany and at the same time takes away his employment and leaves him without the means to buy sugar at any price? Thp theory of the Sentinel and those who train with it entirely ignores the consideration that. before a poor man cap buy he must be able to earn something to buy with. He has nothing to sefl or exchange for what he wants but hjs labor and it is idle to propose to him a policy that promises him cheap gools at the expense of a sacrifice of the only market in which he can sell his labor.

If we buy of other nations and thereby destroy our own industries where will our own laborers find employment? Who will answer this question?

TUB St. Louis QUjbe-Dcmocxat has been gathering statistics during several months past, concerning the number of converts allying themselves with the .various evangelical churches in the States of Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas, and estimates that since September 1, 1893, there have been 49,010 accessions. This was done to determine whether a great religious wave was sweeping over tills country or whether It Is merely sporadic. If the figures are reliable—and we believe they are— they prove that the revival is general Doubtless a canvass" of "allTiher sec tlons of the Union would have a simi lar access of religious interest.

A VKTKRAN observer at Washington makes the "statement that at no time since the days of Androw Jackson has there been an exhihition of more bitterness in party politics in regard to the President than there is now. In point of fact, however, while Democratic members of Congress may consent to follow the lead of Mr. Cleve land, they do so under protest, and are thoroughly dissatisfied. The effect is apparent in the country, and the result will bo fully demonstrated at the next general election that occurs, and in all intermediate elections that may happen between this time and November, 1894.

THE Democrats in Congrese are up to their old tricks. They are cutting down the appropriations below the necessary running expenses of the gov ernment. This will be an admirable campaign cry. At the next session when there are no elections imminent, a deficiency bill be brought in to pay the deferred claims. This is an old Democratic scheme, in fact too old to go down the throats of intelligent people.

CHECKMATED.

Th« Adroit Way of Preventing GoMlp I'icil by the New Minister'* Wife.

People Who resort to roundabout means to gratify* their aurioslty sometimes meet with unexpected rebuffs, says the Youth's Companion. Sirs. Simmons was possessed of an overwhelming desire to know all about her neighbors' affairs, but she seldom asked a straightforward question. It was her way to sa.v: "Mis'Spencer Is jest eat up with wantin* to know" this or that, or: "I heard Mis' Iiallet remark in' that she should admire to be told how you managed to do" so and so.

Usually her neighbors gave her the information she wanted, though they were often irritated into calling her a "meddlln', interferin'old piece." When the new minister came to rvrusyillo, his young wife was forewarned by the ladies of the parish to be "a lee tie close-mouthed with Mis' Simmons, my dear, if you can compass it, for her tongue is as long as her ears." "I shall try to," said the little woman. calmly. She succeeded, even though the Simmons house was next to the parsonage, which was certainly a trying circumstance.

For a week or two Mrs. Simmons contented herself with asking slightly Impertinent questions in a comparatively direct way, but one day she unfortunately reverted to her time-worn habit. "Mis' Gregg said she'd give a good deal to know what that trimmin' cost on your Sunday dress," she remarked, peering at the minister's wife with her cold little eyes.

You didn't tell her, did you. Mrs. Simmons?" inquired the lady, pleasantly.

Why. no!" gasped old lady Simmons, quite taken off her guard by this unexpected rejoinder. •Thank you," said the little minister's wife, sweetly.- "I felt confident you would know that I shouldn't care to have everything of that, sort discussed in the parish."

And between this tribute to her discretion and a confused feeling that evidently the.minister\s wife credited her with secret sources of information, old lady Simmons' mouth was closed, and her mind employed In speculation for the rest of that afternoon.

THE ARABIAN MARE.

An Animal That la Treated an Tenderly as a Child. The most marked equine distinction between the African and Asiatic Arabs is that the latter ride mares, while the former use. stallions. I have reason to believe, writes Col. T. A. Dodge, in Harper's Magazine, that far out on the Libyan desert proper the same rule as to mares prevails. But on the edge of the desert the i.tailion is preferred. Among the Syrian Bedouins the reverse is the rule. The mare is the darling of the sheik, the pet of the family. She Is treated as a child far better, really, than the children. The most perfect of the stallions are kept, the rest are sent into the cities for sale. This accounts for the fact that the traveler sees only stallions. The price paid for a good average four-year-old horse delivered in Damascus or Jerusalem runs from thirty to fifty dollars a fine horse costs seventy to one hundred dollars there Is no price put on a stunner you must negotiate a6 for a homestead—perhaps' us you would for a wife.

The high-bred Arabian desert mares are always kept in condition. They are thin, and their naturally small frame makes them appear more so. 'You raise buffaloes, not horses," an Arab of the desert will say to the owner of a fine well-rounded stallion. The splendid beauty of the Arabian as we understand it is to him a delusion He has but one test—race, and the speed and endurance which ought to come of race. The Arabians which the ordinary traveler picks out as the finest are those which fill the eye the finest marc in the desert may be far from a beauty she la a "rum unto look at, but a devil to go."

SCOTTY SMITH.

The Escape of a Mouth African from the Clntches of Ills Dutch Captors. "Scotty" Smith is the nickname of a man living in southern Africa whose adventures and esca.pades would fill a volume. As a "veldt" man he Is unsurpassed. In "Gun and Camera in Southern Africa" the author gives an account of one of his many escapes.

During the troubles in 1883, I think, he was surprised and captured by the marauding Boers and taken to their headquarters at Rool Grond, near Mafeking. Ho was condemned to be shot on the following day and was fastened with ropes inside a hut at some distance from the camp fire.

During the night he slipped his bonds, crept to the place where the Boer horses were stabled, saddled and and bridled two of the best of thorn and made his escape from under the very noses of the Dutchmen.

A day or two afterward he met a Boer who was personally acquainted with him, who informed him that he was looking for "Scotty" Smith. "Well," said Scotty, In Dutch, "I'm looking for Scotty Smith, too we'll go together."

They rode together for some hours, and then Scotty found an opportunity slipped his man and betook himself to a safer part of the country,

A Tragic Itcr.uril.

High upon a snow-clad slope of the Rockies a hunter from the east came upon a eurinrus and tragic record. Far as the eye could reach there stretched the trail of a jack rabbit. The crea ture had evideutly been stretched to the utmost in mad llight, for his footprints were much further apart than they would have been had his gait been of ordinary speed. A few yards before the trail ended each print of the rabbit's feet was accompanied by the clear outline upon the snow of an eagle's outstretched wings. This was repeated again and again. Then came evidences of a struggle. The snow was stained with blood, and there were tufts of fur lying about. Tiicu the trail ended.

A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

A HARD-TIMES REMEDY

AN INTERESTING SKETCH. Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter just budding into womauhood. Following Is an instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and bad lost the entire use of her right arm. 8he was iu such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her mualo leasons. In fact, wo feared St. Vitus dance, and are posltlvo bnt for an invaluable remedy she would havo had that terriblo afiliotion. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now

fort and ease, fafie has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her.

When my brother recommended the remedy I had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, wo began giving it to Blanche, and the effect wns almost immediate."—Mrs. R. R. Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.

Reactionary storms will be central on the 2d and 3d, and the moon will be new on the 5th. This will cause a continuation of cloudiness, with rain, sleet and snow, through most of the intervening time from the 7th to 11th. Heavy rains with thunder and lightning, turning to destructive sleet and snow storms, may be expected during these disturbances. The reactionary disturbances, due on the 2d and 3d, will not likely be reached until about the Sth. A sweeping cold wave will separate these perturbations from the disturbances of the period beginning about the 7th, but it will soon give place to storm conditions, and during the 7th to 11th, storms of rain and snow will visit all parts of the coun-
