TIIE PARTY OF INSINCERITY The hesitancy with which the Democratic party makes any radical changes in the McKinley policy, shows conclusively that any wholesale attack upon that policy ivas unwise. It has resulted in the loss of millions to the people, has thrown out of employment and distressed hundreds of thousands of people who had nothing but their labor to depend upon for a livlihood, and has thrown the whole country into a state of unrest and uncertainty from which it cannot hope soon to recover. The Democrats in Congress declare that the people are all in favor of tariff reform. But their actions do not prove that they are sincere in this declaration. It looks very much as though the leaders were trying to force the rank and file to make an assault on a deadly angle, where there was little hope of success. Why do Gorman, Brice, Smith, Hill, Caffery, Blanchard and others hesitate so much? Is it not because they know that their constituents are demanding "protection" and would not be satisfied without it? The cry we hear so much, that the people are demanding tariff reform, is bosh and deception. There has not been an election in any State in the Union, since the grand assault on the McKinley policy was ordered, which did not plainly say, ''Stop and let the policy of protection alone." It is, after all, the voice of the people of the country, expressed through elections, through newspapers, and through private correspondence, that is causing all the trouble among the Democratic Congressmen. Many a Congressman knows that he marches to certain death, politically, when he votes against protection to sugar, to iron ore, and coal. Murphy knew he could not vote against protection to collars and cuffs without getting more cuffs from his constituents than he could manage. These men know the situation at home, and they dread to be forced into voting themselves out of office. They know that the people of the country are really for the doctrine of protection, and hence they hesitate about attacking it. There is not an intelligent ^Democrat in the United States to-day, who does not feel that the attack on protection has destroyed all hope of a Democratic victory at the ensuing election. We have always prospered under protection and have always suffered when wholesale attacks have been made on that policy, and this all intelligent men know. The solemn truth is that there is no free trade party worthy of the name, and never will be so long as our people keep their senses. This is what makes the assault on "McKinleyism" so slow.

A COMPARISON.

The difference between the first Cleveland administration and the Harrison administration was in the fact that Cleveland distributed the surplus, of which there was a large sum, among favorite banks without interest while Harrison used the surplus in reducing the public debt. During the Harrison administration the debt was decreased $259,074,200, and the annual interest charge $11,084,469. The "surplus" was one of the campaign cries of the Democratic party in 1SX4. The Democrats howled long and loud about the money that was wrung from the people, but Cleveland took no steps to reduce this surplus. The Harrison administration used it in paying off the interest bearing debt and by legislation saved 893,000,000 of revenue which was kept in the pockets of the people. We submit if it were not the wiser course to use the surplus in paying debt than by depositing it in favorite banks without interest and we submit further whether it were not wiser to reduce the revenue than to collect it and pile it up in these favorite banks. When the Harrison administration retired the cash balance in the treasury was over 820,000,000, ample for all purposes, and the 8100,000,000 reserve was intact. Now there is no surplus and the reserve fund is down to 852,000,000 and still going downward. If the Argus-New* wants further comparisons it can have them.

THK Arijus-Ncws doesn't like the McKinley law, it seems. Well, its party has been in power -now for eighteen months. Congress, which is Democratic in both branches, has been in session just a year and if the McKinley law still stands it has nobody to blame but a Democratic Congress.

THE sheriff of Clay county sowed the wind and now Brazil is reaping the whirlwind.

•T K0BEET BARB ("LUXE RHASP.")

CHAI"ITCHI. S the marblefloored vestibule of the Metroit an a hotel in Buffalo,

Prof. Stillson Denmark stood a about him with a manner of a person unused to a splendor of the modern Ameri­

can house of entertainment. The professor paused halfway between the door ana the marble oouuter, because he began to fear that he had arrived at an Inopportune time—that something unusual was going on. The hurry and bustle bewildered him. A man -with a stentorian but monotonous and mournful voloe was filling the air with the information that a train was about to depart for Albany, Saratoga, Troy, Boston, New York and the east. When he came to the words "The East" his voloe dropped to a sad, minor key, as if the man despaired of the fate of those who took their departure In that direction. Every now and then a brazen gong sounded sharply, and one of the negroes who sat In a row on a benoh along the marble-paneled wall sprang forward to the counter, took somebody's handbag, and disappeared in the direotlon of the elevator, with the newly-arrived guest following him. Groups of men stood here and there conversing, heedless of the rush of arrival and departure around them.

All this was very strange to the professor, and he felt himself in a new world, with whose customs he was not familiar. Nobody paid the slightest attention to him a9 he stood there among it all with his satchel In his hand. As he timidly edged up to the oounter and tried to accumulate courage enough to address the clerk, a young man oame forward, flung his grip on the polished top of the counter, metaphorically brushed the professor aside, pulled the bulky register towards him and inscribed his name on the page with a rapidity equaled only by the illegibility of the result. "Hello! Sam," he said to the olerk. "How's things? Get my telegram?" "Yes," answered the clerki "but I can't give you 87. It's been taken for a week. I reserved 85 for you and had to hold on with my teeth to do that."

The reply of the young man was merely a brief mention of the place of torment. "It is hot," said the clerk, blandly. "In from Cleveland?" "Yes. Any letters for me?'' "Couple of telegrams. You'll find them up In 85." "Oh! you were cock-sure I'd take that room?" "I was cock-sure you'd have to. It was either that or the fifth floor. We're

HE'S

full. Couldn't give a better room to the president If he came." "Oh, well, what's good enough for the president I can put up with for a couple of days."

The hand of the olerk descended on the bell. The negro sprang forward and took the grip. "Eighty-five," said the olerk, and the drummer and the negro disappeared. "Is there any place where I could leave my bag for awhile?" the professor at last said, timidly, to the clerk. "Your bag?"

The professor held it up lu view. "Oh! your grip. Certainly. Have a room, sir?" and the clerk's hand hovered over the bell. "No. At least, not just yet. You see, I'm—" "All right. The baggageman there to the left will cheek it for you.'' "Any letters for Bond?" said a man, pushing himself in front of the proso a a bunch of letters from the compartment marked "B" and handed the whole lot to the inquirer, who went rapidly over them, selected two that appeared to bo addressed to him, and gave the bunch a push towards the clerk, who placed them where they were before.

Although the professor was to a certain extent bewildered by the condition of things, there was still in his nature ft certain dogged persistence that had before now stood him in good stead, and which had enabled him to distance, in the long run, much more brilliant men. He was not at all satisfied with his brief interview with the clerk. He resolved to approach that busy indivi a a a in if a re is at tention. It was some time before he caught the speaker's eye, as it were, but when he did so, he said: "I was about to say to you that I am waiting for a friend from New York who may not yet have arrived. His name Is Mr. Richard YateR. of the—" "Oh! Dick Yates. Certainly. He's here." Turning to the negro, he said: "Go down to the billiard-room and see if Mr. Yates is there. If he Is not, look for him at the bar."

The clerk evidently knew Mr. Dick Yates. Apparently not noticing the look of amazement that had stolen over the professor's face, the clerk said: "If you wait In the reading-room I'll •end Yates to vou when he comes. The boy will find him if he's in the house but he may be up town."

Tho professor, disliking to trouble the obliging clerk further, did.not ask him where the reading-room was. He Inquired Instead of a hurrying porter, and received the curt but comprehensive answen

found his way into the reading-room. Numerous daily papers were scattered around on the table, eaoh attached to a long clumsy cleft arrangement of wood, while other dailies similarly enoumberedhung from racks against the wall. The professor sat down in one of the easy leather-oovered chairs, but, instead of taking up a paper, drew a thin book from his pocket, in which he was so absorbed that he beoame entirely unconscious of his strange surroundings. Alight touoh on the shoulder brought him up from his book into the world again, and he saw looking down on him the stern faoe of a heavilymustached stranger. "I beg your pardon, sir, but may I ask if you are a guest of this house?"

A shade of apprehension orossed the professor's faoe as he slipped the book into his pocket. He had vaguely felt that he was ti-espassing when ho first entered the hotel, and now his doubts were confirmed. "I—am not exactly a guest," he stammered. "What do you mean by not exactly a guest?" continued the other, regarding the professor with a cold scrutinizing gaze. "A man is either a g-uest or he is not, I take it. Whloh is it in your case?" "I presume, technically speaking, I am not." "Technically speaking! More evasions. Let me ask you, sir, as an ostensibly honest man, if you Imagine that all this luxury—this—this elegance—Is maintained for nothing? Do you think, sir, that it is provided for any man who has cheek enough to step out of the street and enjoy it? Is It kept up, I ask, for people who are, technically speaking, not guests?"

The expression of conscious guilt deepened on the faoe of the unfortunate professor. He had nothing to say. He realized that his aotion was too flagrant to admit of defense, so he attempted none. Suddenly the countenance of his questlonar lit up with a smile, and he smote the professor on the shoulder. "Well, old stick-in-the-mud,' you haven't ohanged a particle in fifteen years. You don't mean to pretend 3'ou don't know me?" "You can't—you can't be Riohard Yates?" "I not only oan, but I can't be anybody else. I know, because I have often tried. Well, well, well, well! Stilly we used to call you, don't you remember? I'll never forget that time wo sung 'Oft In the stilly night," front of your window when you were studying for the exams. You always were a quiet fellow, Stilly. I've been waiting for you nearly a whole day. I was just now with a party of friends when the boy brought me your card. A little philanthropic gathering—sort of mutual benefit arrangement, you know) each of us contributed what we could spare into a general fund, which was given to some deserving person in the crowd. "Yes," said the professor, dryly. "X heard the clerk telling the boy whore he would be most likely to find you." "Oh, you did, eh?" cried Yates, with a laugh. "Y'es, Sam generally knows where to send for me but he needn't have been so darned public about it. Being a newspaper man, I know what ought to go in print and what phould havo a blue pencil run through it. Sam is very discreet, as a general thing but then he knew, of oourse, the moment he set eyes on you, that you were an old pal of mine."

Again Yates laughed, a very bright and oheery laugh for so evidently a wicked man. "dome along," he 6aid, taking the professor by the arm. "We must get you located."

They passed out into the hall and drew up at the clerk's counter. "I say, Sam," cried Yates, "can't you do something better for us than the fifth floor? I didn't come to Buffalo to engage in ballooning. No sky parlors for me, if I oan help it." "I'm sorry, Dick," said the olerk, "but I expect the fifth floor will be jjone when the Chicago express gets

"Well, what can you do for us, anyhow?" "I can let you have 518. That's the next room to yours. Really, they're the most oomfortable rooms in the house this weather. Fine lookout over the lake. I wouldn't mind having a sight of the lake myself, if I could leave the desk." "All right. But I didn't come to look at the lake, nor yet at the railroad tracks, this side, nor at Buffalo creek, either, beautiful and romantic as It is, nor to listen to the clanging of the ten thousand looomotlves that pass within hearing distance, for the delight of your guests. The fact is, that, always excepting Chicago, Buffalo is more like— for the professor's sake I'll say hades, than any other plaoe in America." "Oh, Buffalo's all right," said the clerk, with that feeling of local loyalty which all Amerloans possess. "Say, are you here on this Fenian snap?" "What Fenian snap?" asked tho newspaper man. "Oh! don't you know about it? I thought the moment I saw you that you were here for this affair. Well, don't say I told you, but I can put you on to one of the big guns if you want the particulars. They say they're going to take Canada. I told 'em that I wouldn't take Canada aa a gift, let alone flght for it. I've been there."

Yates' newspaper instlnot thrilled him as he thought of the possible sensation. Then the Jiyht qlowly died oat of his eyes when looked at the nrik

11 Y0DNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH. Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter Just budding Into womanhood. Following Is an instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and had lost the entire use of her right arra. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music lessons. In fact, wo feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have bad that terrible affliction. Wo 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 threo bottles of Nervine sho now weighs 106 pounds her nervousness and symptoms of St Vitus dance are entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with comfort and ease. She 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, we began giving it to Blanche, and the effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. K. R. Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.

lessor, whoTia3 fiusheS somewhatTind oompressed his lips as he listened to the slighting remarks on his oountry.

Well. Sam," said the newspaper man at last, "it isn't more t&an once in a lifetime that you'll find me give the go-by to a pleoe of news, but the fact is, I'm on my vacation just now. About the flest I've had for fifteen years so you see I must take care of It. No, let the Argus get soooped, If it wants to. They'll value my servloes Jill the more when I get back. No. 518, I think you said?"

The olerk handed over the key, and the professor gave the boy the check for his valise, at Yates' suggestion. "Now get a move on you," said Yates to the elevator-boy. "We're going right through with you."

And so the two friends were shot up together to the fifth floor.

Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana. Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering. He says: "Last summer I had a very severe attack of flux. I tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured. 1 take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person suffering with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence." 20 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, 111 N.

I got some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them.
