TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1894.

BROOKSHIKE voted for the bill of "''partytperfidy and party dishonor." After swearing that he never would consent finally consented. .:

THF. real trouble with Senator Cleveland is that he does not have the necessary two-thirds majerity in the Senate to pass the Wilson bill over President Gorman's veto.

SKNATOR GORMAN has again heard from the Maryland Democrats.—Ar-

Iius-Ncws. And the Democrats of the United States have heard from Gorman. He is the most powerful Democrat in the country to-day and from this time on may be considered a Presidential quanity.

CY WARMAN, who wrote the well re membered "Flyer" article in MrClurc'g

Multzinc for January, will have an article in the September number describing the marvelous profits that have attended, and the more marvelous profits that promise to attend, irrigation in the West. The article will be fully illustrated.

ONE thing is certain, tirover Cleveland will never sign a bill that does not provide for free raw material including ore and coal.—^lnyus-AVtes.

Hut he will permit it to become a law without interposing a veto, which is virtually giving it his approval with his signature. The difference is about the same as the difference between twcedle dee and tweedle dam.

THE Senate tariff bill, which Grover Cleveland in his letter to Chairman Wilson characterized as a bill of ''party perfidy1 and party dishonor," passed the House yesterday by a vote of 1S2 yeas to 105 nays. It was a complete surrender on the part of the House to Gorman, lirice & Co. In other words it was a clear case of gulping down the carcass of a crow that had been dead for three months, and smelled to heaven. Mr. Wilson in his speech of capitulation admitted that the bill would take from the people and put in the pockets of the sugar trust nearly $43,000,000 and yet in the face of this admission he with 17U other Democrats voted for the bill, and thus completed the sale of the Democratic party to this gigantic monopoly. It is a great victory for Senator Gorman, and a humiliating defeat for Grover Cleveland. Gorman is at the bat.

AMONG the many questions affecting the well being of any city, town or village, none is of more vital importance than that of where the citizens purchase their goods. The prosperity of any community depends in a great measure upon the manner in which the citizens answer that question. We can conceive of no greater ingratitude than that of a man earning his wages or making his wealth in the place he lives, moves and has his being in, and then buying the bulk of his goods in another place. It's like a child slapping his parent's face. Next to such a man is that one who endeavors to break up the harmonious relationship existing between the citizen and the .merchant or between merchant and merchant. A safe rule for all to follow is to leave in your town all the money you can. This will stimulate and make business good and is setting the example that every merchant should adopt himself, if he desires patronage. Leave the money you earn or make in the town where you do business.

A WASHINGTON dispatch gives a review of some of the changes in the condition of the Treasury for a year or more which presents some points of interest. It is shown, for example, that while the Treasury cash balance, including the gold reserve, decreased from about 81:i9,000,000 on January 1, 1803, to about 890,000,000 on January 1, 18(14, it increased to 3119.000,000 on August 1, 1894. The fact that an increase appears on the latter date is, of course, due to the proceeds of the bond issue, which were covered into the Treasury early in the year. The expenditures have exceeded the receipts of the government in every month since the beginning of 1893, with the exception of March, May and June, 1893, and June, 1894, and while the excess of receipts over expenditures have been small, the excesses of expenditures over receipts have, on the other hand, been large. Such a management of Treasury affairs has not been seen before in at least one generation and ii it shall not be repeated during another, few persons will feel truly sorry.

IT EOBEET BASE ("LUKE EHAKP.")

Hiram g-avo a guilty start and looked with something of mute appeal at the two men, but said nothing1. "Never mind him," continued Mrs. Bartlett. "You're at my house and, whatever mv neighbors may say ag'in' me, I never heard anybody complain oi the lack of good victuals while 1 was

able to do the cooking. Oome right In and wash yourselves, for the road between here and the fort is dusty enough, even if Hiram never was taken up for fast driving. Besides, a wash is refreshing after a hot day."

There was no denying the cordiality of the invitation, and Yates, whose natural gallantry was at once aroused, responded with the readinass of a oourtler. Mrs. Bartlett led,, the way into the house, but as Yates passed the farmer the latter cleared his throat with an effort, and, throwing his thumb over his shoulder in the direction his wife had taken, said, in a husky whisper: "No call to—to mention the revolution, you know." "Certainly not," answered Yates, with a wink that took in the situation. "Shall we Bample the jug before or after supper?" "After, if it's all the same to you," adding, "out hi the barn."

Yates nodded and followed his friend Into the house. The young men were shown into a bedroom of more than ordinary size on the upper floor. Everything about the house was of the most daintv and scrupulous cleanliness, and an air of cheerful oomfort pervaded the place. Mrs. Bartlett was evidently a housekeeper to be proud of. Two large pitchers of cool soft water awaited them, and the wash, as had been predicted, was most refreshing. "1 say," cried Yates, "it's rather cheeky to accept a man's hospitality after knocking him down." "It would bo for most people, but I think you underestimate your cheek, as you call it." "Bravo, Stilly! You're blossoming out. That's rapartee, that is. With the accent on the rap, too. Never you mind. I think old 1 SI2 and I will get along all right after this. It doesn't seem to bother him any, so I don't see why it should worry me. Nice mother ly old lady, isn't .she?" "Who? 18J2?" "No Mrs. 1812. I'm sorry I complimented you on your repartee. You'll get conceited. Remember that what in the newspaper man is olever, in a grave professor is rank flippancy. Let's go down."

The table was covered with a cloth as white and spotless as good linon can well be. The bread was genuine homemade, a term so often misused in the pities. It was brown as to crust and flaky and light as to Interior. The butter, oool from the rock cellar, was of a lovely golden hue. The sight of the well-loaded table was most welcome to the eyes of hungry travelers. There was, as Yetes afterwards remarked, "abundance and plenty of it." "Come, father," cried Mrs. Bartlett, as the young men appeared, and they heard the roeking-chair creak on the

veranda in prompt answer to the summons. "This is my son, gentlemen," said Mrs. Bartlett, indicating a young man who stood in a non-committal attitude near the corner of the room. The professor recognized him as the person who had taken oharge of the horses when his father came home. Thore was evidently sohiethlng ofhis father's demeanor about the young man, who awkwardly and silently responded to the recognition of the strangers. "And this is my daughter," continued the good woman. "Now, what might your names bo?" "My name Is Yates, and this Is my friend, Prof. Renmark, of T'ronto," pronouncing the name of the fair city in two syllables, as is, alasl too often done. The professor bowed, and Yates oordially extended his hand to the young woman. "How do you do, Miss Bartlett?" .he said. "I am happy to meet you."

The girl cmlledvery prettily, and said she hoped they had a pleasant trip out from Fort Erlfe. "Oh, w? hai" said Yates, lookin 9 moment at lus nosfy Whose eyes fixed on th6 tafeleoioih, and wh peared to fee qui to Cgnt^ni to le wife run the show. f'The roadi's

younger member of the family, whloH opportunity ho did not let slip. It was hard to believe that *he waswie dnughter of so crusty a man as Hiram Bartlett. Her oheeks Were rosy, with dimpies in them that constantly came and went, In her Incessant effort to keep from laughing. Her hair, whio^ hunff about her plump shoulders, was a Tor®ly golden brown. Although her dress was of the cheapest material, It was neatly cut and fitted and her dainty white pinafore addod that touoh of wholesome oleanliness that yra# so n6» ticeable everywhere In the house, 4 bit of blue ribbon at her wlilte thtoAt end a flower of the spring juji beloT? It completed a "harming picture, wolol^ a more critical and less susceptible man than Yates might iiave oontemplateA with pleasure.

Miss Bartlett sat smilingly at one $nd of the table, and her father gjjmly the other. The mother sat at thesjde, apparently looking on that position one of vantage for conimatdlil£ whole field and keeping ner ^usbanf and her daughter both under The teapot and oups were Set the young woman. She did HO' out the tea at onoe, but seemei waiting Instructions from her mi That good lady was gazing with some sternness at her husband, he vainly endeavoring to look at the ceding or anywhere but at her. fie drew his open hand nervously down his face, which was of unusual gravity even for him. Finally he cast an appealing glanoe ai his wife, who sat with her hands fold, on her lap, but her eyes were unreien' ing. After a moment's hopeless Irresolution, Bartlett bent his head over his plate and murmuredt "For what we are about to receive, oh, make us truly thankful. Amen." Mrs. Bartlett echoed the last word, having also bowed her head when she saw Surrender in the troubled eyes of her husband.

Now, It happened thai Yates, who had seen nothing of this silent struggle of the eyes, being exceedingly hungry, was malting every preparation for the energetic beginning of the meal. He had spent most of his life In hotels and New York boarding houses, so that If he ever knew the adage "Graqe before meals" he had forgotten it. In the midst of his preparations oame the devout words, and they came upon him as a stupefying surprise. Although naturally a resouroeful man, he was not quiok enough this time to cover his confusion. Miss Bartlett's golden head was .bowed, but out of the corncr of her eye she saw Yates' look of amazed bewilderment and his sudden halt of surprise. When all heads were raised the young girl's still remained where it was, while her plump shoulders quivered. Then she covered her faoe with her npron, and the silvery ripple of a laugh oame like a smothered musical ohime trickling through her fingers. "Why, Kittyl" cried her mother, in astonishment, "what ever is the matter with you?'

The girl oould no longer restrain her mirth. "You'll have to pour out the tea, mother!" she exclaimed, as she fled from the room. "For the land's sake!" cried the astonished mother, rising to take her frivolous daughter's place, "what alls the ohild? I don't see what there is to laugh at."

Hiram soowled down the table, and was evidently also of the opinion that there was no occasion for mirth. The professor was equally In the dark. "1 am afraid, Mrs. Bartlett," said Yates, "that 1 am the innocent cause of Miss Kitty's mirth. You see, madam, It's a pathetic thing to say, but reall

I have no doubt I made an exhibition of myself which your daughter was quiok to See." "It wasn't Tery polite," said Mrs. Bartlett, with some asperity, "I know that," pleaded Yates, with contrition, "but assure you it was unintentional on my part." "Bless the man!" oried his hostess. "I don't mean you. I mean Kitty. But that girl never oould keep her face Straight. She always favored me more than her father."

This statement was not difficult to believe, for Hiram, at that moment, looked as If he had never Bmlled In his life. He sat silent throughout the meal, birt Mrs. bartlett talked quite enough for two. "Well, for my part," she Bald,"I don't know what, farming's coming to. Ijlenry Howard and Margaret drote past he^e this afternoon as proud as Punon in their new-covered buggy. Things is very different from what they was when was a girl. Then a farmer's daughter had I9 work. Now Margaret's took her diploma at the ladies' college, and Arthur he's begun at the university, and Henry's sporting round in anew buggy. Thoy have a piano there, with the organ moved out into the back room." "The whole Howard lot's a stuck-up set," muttered the farmer.

But Jlrs. faartlett wouldn't have that, Any detraction that was neoeBsary she felt competent to supply without help from the nominal head of the house.

J'No, I don't go so far as to say that. Neither would you, Hiram, if you hadn't lost your law-suit about the line fenoei and served you right, too, for it wouldn't have been bogun if I had been at home at the time. Not Dut what Margaret's a good housekeeper, for she wouldn't be her toother's daughter if she wasn't that, but it does seem to me a qtiear way to bring up farmers' ohlldren, and I only hope th6y cafl keep it up.

Bartleit himself did not relish the turn the conversation had tqken, ana he looked somewhat uneasily at the two youiig strangers.

Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.

Of Interest to Mothers

Tile success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam of McKeesport, Penn., in the treatment ment of diarrhoea in her children, will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: "I spent several weeks in Johnstown,. Pa., after the great flood, on account of ray husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took diarrhoea very bad. I got some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful I think it cannot be ex celled and cheerfully recommend it." and no cent bottles for sale by Nye & liooe, 111 N. Washington St., opposite the court house.

A Urand Feature

Of Hood's .Sarsaparilla is that while it purifies the blood and sends it coursing through the veins full of richness and health, it also imparts new life and vigor to every function of the body. Hence the expression so often heard: "Hood's Sarsaparilla made a new person of me." It overcomes that tired feeling so common now.

Hood's Pills are purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, always reliable and beneficial.

Well Known in Texaa.

Mr. J. C.
