WHKN Congress adjourns llrother lirookshire will lead in singing the closing hymn, as follows: "Ami arc we yet alive?

THK popgun bills seem to be as dead as the Wilson bill. Seventeen Democratic Senators were all that could be mustered to make a linal stand for free sugar, free iron ore, free coal and free barbed wire. They have, however, served the Democratic purpose of acting, as Congressman Heed says, as air cushions for the Democratic majoritv in the House to fall on.

AT the "Actor's Holiday" last night one of the features of the show was a self-kicking machine which worked to perfection. Every man who voted for Cleveland, and every man who was silly enough to .believe that the Senate would pass separate bills placing sugar, iron ore. coal and barbed wire on the free list should supply himself with one of these macliinis

THK speeches made by Democratic Congressmen during the pendency of the Wilson bill for campaign consumption are now utterly worthless for the purposes intended, as every reading man. woman and child in the country knows that not one of the statements made in tlicni has been borne out by the subsequent action^ of Congress. The mails will now be loaded down with documents explaining the situation and recalling the old speeches.

Tnr. majority forOates over K'olb for (lovernor in Alabama is officially stated to be 2",TUt}. Things are badly mixed down in that State. It is said that Oates had majorities in all the black counties, while h'olb had majorities in all the white counties. From this statement it would appear that Democrats themselves are in great danger of becoming the "negro party" and will soon be crving out. "What shall we do to be saved from 'negro domination .'

TIIE A raws-New* innocently asserts that quotations from the 1'resident's letter to Chairman \Vilson have no bearing on the present situation for the simple reason that the letter was written when the scheme of offsetting the loss of the Wilson bill by adding separate bills to the Senate was not dreamed of. Doesn't the Anjun-Neu:n know that (iormau is so proficient in the game of "how not to do it" that it was very easy for him to get rid of the popgun bills withoutaccepting responsibility for their passage or defeat. Senator Murphy's resolution gave them a speedy burial, with no flowers, of four in one little grave. The House knew this but as it was long on "party perfidy and party dishonor" and short on campaign material it was compelled to seek a oft place to light.

THK Democratic tarilV will knock out the "20 pounds of sufjar for a dollar."

WHISKY and sugar make a nice toddy. hut at present it is very nauseatingto raanv Democratic stomachs.

THK tariff bill was passed on the l.ttli of the month and 13 Democrat^ voted against it. It is doomed to a career of bad luck.

O£

Ohio, will

make his tirst speech in Indiana at Indianapolis on September 2."i. at 1 o'clock p. m. It is intended to make this a State rally and Orawfordsville and Montgomery county should be there in force.

•.SPEAKING of Congress and tariff reform, Colonel Wattersoii refers to "an army led by noodles and streaked with treason." lint then the .•irtjiix-Xetrs says Wattersoii is a "disgruntled old man and a disappointed office seeker." There's a good deal of method in Mr. Watterson's 'disgruntleuient."

EACH day's delay in signing the tariff bill by President Cleveland is millions in the coffers of the Trusts of Whisky and Sugar—the one in taking it out of bond at HO cents a gallon and placing it on 'the market with the cents additional, the other in the importation of free sugar and putting it on the market with cents added to the price.

"Are you a Canadian?" he asked. "Certainly I am.'' "Well, in that case, if I let you leave camp, you must give me your word that should you fall in with the enemy you will give no information to*them of our position, numbers, or of anything else you may have seen while with us." "1 shall not give my word. On the contrary, if 1 should fall in with the Canadian troops 1 will tell them where you are, that you lire from eight luirtdred to one thousand strong, and the worst-looking set of vagabonds I have ever seen out of jail." lien. OXeill frowned and looked from one to the other. "Do you realize that you confers to being a spy, and that it becomes my duty to have you taken out nnd s'iot'.''' "In real war, yes. Hut. this is mere idiotic fooling. All of you that don't escape will be either in jail or h'it before twenty-four hours." "Well, by the gods, it won't help you any. I'll have yon shot inside of ten minutes, instead of twenty-four hours." "Hold on, Yates, as the fronted the

general, hold on," cried angry man rose and contwo. "I admit that he

richly deserves shooting if you were the fool-killer, which you are not. Hut it won't do. 1 will be responsible for him. .lust finish that puss for me. and 1 will take care of the professor. Shoot me if you like, but don't touch him. He hasn't any sense, as you can see. but I am not to blame for that, uor are you. If you take to shooting evorvbody who is an ass. general, you won't have any ammunition left tocouqtier Canada with."

The general smiled in spite of himself. and resumed the writing of the pass. "There," he said, handing tho paper to Yates. "You see, we always like to oblige the press. I will risk your belligerent friend, and 1 hope you will exercise more control over him if you meet the Canadiaus. than you were able to exert here. Don't you think, on the whole, you had better stay with \is? We are going to march in a couple of hours when the men have had a little rest." lie added in a lower voice, so that the professor could not hear: "You didn't see anything of the Canadians, I suppose?" "Not a sign. N'o, I don't think I'll stay. There will be five of our fellows here some time today. I expect, and that will bo more than enough. I'm really here on a vacation, lieeu ordered rest and quiet. I'm beginning to think I have made a mistake in the location,"

Yates bade good-by to the commander, and walked with his friend out of the camp. They threaded their way among sleeping- men and groups of stacked guns. On the top of one of the bayonets was hung a tall silk hat. which looked most incongruous in such a place. "I think," said Yates, "that we will make for the llidge road, which must lie somewhere in this direction. It will be easier walking than through the woods and, besides, I want t-d stop at one of the farmhouses .and get some breakfast. I'm as hungryi as a hear after tramping so IDij "Very well." answered'jtte^-irofessor, shortly.

The}- stumbled along' until: they reached the edge of the wood. then, crossing some open fields. :i:r(iseht:ly came upon the road iiesi.r ha spot\vhere tho fist-fight had taken, pkicejxnween Yates and liartlett. The two,

JIOW

with greatof comfort, walked silently., along the road towards the west, with the reddening east behind: them. The whole scene was strangely'quiet and peaceful, and the recollection of the weird camp they ha ', left in the woods seemed merely a bad dream. The morning air was sweet, and the birds were beginning to sing. Yates had intended to give the professor a piece of his mind regarding the lack of taetand common'sense displayed by Renmark in the camp, lint somehow the scarcelyawakened day did not lend itself to controversy, and the serene stillness soothed his spirit. He began to whistle softly that popular war song. "Tramp trump, tramp, the. boys are marehiiu.-." and then broke in with the question: "Say, Kenny, did you notice that plug-hat on the bayonet'."' "Yes." answered the professor "and I saw five others scaftered around,the: camp." ".Iingo! j-oti were observant. I can imagine nothing quite so ridiculous as a man going to war in a Hill silk hat.

The professor made no reply and Yates changed his whistling to "liallv round the flag." "1 presume." he said, at: length, "there is little use in attempting to improve the morning hour, by trving to show you, Hennmrk, what a fool you made of yourself in the camp. Your natural diplomacy seemed to be slightly off the center." "I do not hold diplomatic relations with thieves and vagabonds." "They may be vagabonds, but. so am I, for that matter. They tnav also be well-meaning mistaken menj'bnt I do not think they are thieves." "While you were talking with the so-called general, one party came in with several horses that hud been stolen from the neighboring farmers, and another party started out to get some more." "Oh, that isn't stealing,. Ucmnnrk that's requisitioning. You mustn't- use such reckless language. I imagine the second party has been successful for here are three of them, "till mounted.''

The three horsemen referred to stopped their steeds at the sight of thetwo men coming round the bend of the road, and awaited their approach. Like so many of the others, -they .wore no uniform, but two of them held revolvers in their hands ready for.net.ion, The one who had no visible revolver moved his horse up the middle of the road towards the pedest rians, the ot li.-r two taking posit ions on each side of the wagon-way. "Who are you? Where do you eome from, and where are you going?" cried the foremost horseman, as the two walkers came within talking distance. "It's all right, commodore," said, Yates, jauntily, "and the top of the morning to you. We are hungry pedestrians. We have just come from the camp, and we are going to get something to eat." "I must have a more satisfactory answer than that." "Well, here yon have it. then," answered Yates, pulling out his folded pass and handing it up to the horseman. The man read it i-.urefullv.

I "You find that all right. I expect?" "liight eno'.igli to cause your immediate arrest." "Hut the general said we were not to be molested further, '1'hat is In his own handwriting." "1 •presume it is. anil all the worse for you. His Imndwrit ingdoes not run quite :ts far as the queen's writ in this country yet. I nrrest you in the name of the queen. Cover these men with your revolvers, and shoot them down if thev make any resistance." Sosav iug, the rider slipped from his horse, whippet! out of his pocket a pair of handcuff's joined by a short stout steel chain, and. leaving his horse standing, grained Kenninrk's wrist. "I'm a Canadian," said the professor, wrenching liis wrist nwny. "You mnsn't put handcuffs on me." "You are in very bad company, then. 1 am constable of this county, und if you are what you say, you will not resist arrest." "1 will go with you. but you mnsn't handcuff me." "Oh! mustn't 1?" And. with a quick movement indicative of long practice with resisting criminals, the constable deftly slipped on one, of the clasps, which closed with a sharp click like a burr, lienmark became deadly pale, and there was a dangerous glitter in his eyes, lie drew back his clinched fist, in spite of the fact that the cooked revolver was edging closer and closer to liim and the .constable held his struggling manacled hard with grim determination. "Hold on!" cried Yates, preventing the professor from striking the representative of the law. "Don't shoot," ho shouted to the man on horseback "it is all a little mistake, that will bo quickly put right. You are three armed and mounted men, and we are only two. unarmed and on foot. There is no need of ail}- revolver practice.

Now, Kenmfirk, you arc more of a rebel at the present moment than O'Neill, lie owes no allegiance, and you do. Have you no respect for the forms of law and order? You are an anarchist at heart, for all .your professions, Yu would sing "God Save the txi.ioen!' in the wrong place awhile ago, so now be satisfied that you have got her. or, father, that she has got you. Now, constable, do yon want to hitch the other end of that arrangement on my wrist? or have you another pair for my own special use?" "I'll take your wriit, if .you please." "All right hero you are." Yates drew back his coat-sleeve and presented his wrist. The dangling cutf was speedily clamped upon it. The constable)' mounted, the patient horse that stood wuitinjr for him, watching him the while with intelligent eye. The tw-a prisoners handcuffed together took the middle of the r^ad. with a ho.-.,:.:an on each side of them, the coiistable.i.bringing. up the wear, and thus .theyi:tuai^?hed on, the professor: gloomy-from the .IgtVignify put upon tliein. and: the newspaper man us joyous as the now thoroughly awakened birds: The scouts concluded to go no farther .-'towards,' the enemy, but to return to. the t-'aV-iadiaii forces with ..their prisoners.:: They marched flown the road, all ,-iler.t exegpt: Vri teli »ivho enlivened the morning air witii the singing of "John i':vovn.!'

The constable, wlio knew both the farmer and his wife, nodded familiarly to thom.: "They're l-'enian prisoners," he said.

"That may be," said the constable, firmly, "but. 1 have the best of evidence against them, and if Tin not very much mistaken they'll hang for it."

Miss Kitty, who had beeti partly visible through the door, gave a cry of anguish at this remark and disappeared again.
