'if- position on
tlio electric light question. falls back on "hearsay evidence." a kind of evidonee to which no court in the laud would for a moment listen.
Mis. KKOOKSHIKK. thinks that the American laborer who delves in the mines for "raw material." should have his wajres reduced to a level with the pay of the foreign miner: but that the Southern gentleman who produces rice should have SO per cent, protection on his product.
THK people of this country are pettiny very tired of hearing of that terrible humbug of European pauper labor. —.1
Maine and Vermont are very much in evidence that the above is true. The people are becoming very tired of it. Indiana voters will show how tired they are by rolling up a majority for

Mil. HKOOKSHIKK attributes the present low price of wheat to onr protective policy, lie says foreign nations will not buy our wheat because we have a tariff on their goods. li'it this does not harmonize with the fact, that the highest price ever paid the farmer for his wheat in this country was when the tariff on foreign goods was the highest ever known in onr history, towit: in 1 liesides. the llormanUrice tariff has lowered the tariff, and wheal, instead of going up. is going down. Mr. Krookshire will have to try some other theory upon which to explain the low price of wheat. v.

first suggested the neces
sity of a sewerage system for Cranfordsville. Since that time public sentiment on the subject has changed from a condition of ignorance or indifference to one of active interest. It is believed that a petition for sewerage .would be gladly signed by every man. woman and child in the 'own. The ladies are especially in favor of it as of .all sanitary measures, (if course in the present state of municipal financeiit is hardly advisable to undertake such a work but surely by next Spring it can at least be begun. A sewerage system does not. like an electric light plant, have to be purchased all at once. If a proper plan is adopted it can be built little at a time.

A
better bill than any that the Democratic party has ever tried to pass since the passage of the Walker tarill bill of lsMO. Hniokyhirc'x n'ah.
This law which Mr. ltrookshirv says is the best bill that the Democrats party has ever tried to pass was characterized by President Cleveland as an act of "party perfidy and party di honor." After the bill had passed both Houses he wrote Congressman •?('atcliings that the "livery of Demo cratic reform had been stolen and worn in the service of Republican pri teetion," and that "the deadly blight of treason had blasted the councils of the brave in their hour of might
And it was this great and good bill which Krookshire now lauds that the President refused to sign. Senator Mills, whom the Congressman quotes declared that it "does not receive th approval of 1.000 men in the I'nited States." Tom Johnson, a Democratic Congressman from Ohio, said that "the Oormau surrender bill shows th most tender solicitude for the welfar of trusts and rings, and the most stolid disregard of our pledges to the pe pie." And yet Mr. Krookshire in tin face of the opinions of such eminen
Democrats as the President. Chairmai Wilson. Senator Mills. Congressman Tom .Johnson and scores of others says the (lorinan bill is by far a bette bill than any that the Democrats eve attempted to pass, which means that is a better bill than either tile Mills or the Wilson bills.
A HAD i:MOHY.
Senator Yoorhees, in hisTerre Haiti speech, said that "no enactment American history has ever been mor odious to the American people tha the McKinley law of tariff taxation. Mr. Yoorhees has the worst memor of any man in America or elsewhere In one short year he has forgotten tha •Jhio indorsed the McKinley law s0,000 majority: and that Pennsylvani indorsed it by nearly 200,000 majority
He has forgotten that Oregon, les than a year ago, indorsed it by a overwhelming majority: that Iowa ha lately indorsed it by an immense vote that New York and New .Jersey wilhi a year have both given it an emphat approval at the polls. He lias forgotle that less than a year ago. on a direct issue made in Massachusetts, the McKinley policy was indorsed by a vast majority of the voters. He does not remember that uo longer ago than last Spring the little State of Rhode Island gave a majority of over 7,000 for the McKinley policy. He is oblivious of the fact that less than three weeks ago, both Vermont ami Maine gave the most unheard of majorities in support of the McKinley law of tariff taxation. The Senator who in the face of these facts asserts that the McKinley law is the most unpopular law in American history, will be regarded as in his dotage, if not wandering in the border land of lunacy.

camera, tin stack of pi around by front of a avenue. "You get them nut. in front and I'll be ready for them." I'.id the man with the camera, as ha spread his tripod in the gutter ai took uim at the front door of tin* grocery.
The grocer yelled up-stairs to his wife, who came down with the two little girls close behind her. When she heard what was to lie done she insisted on going back to "primp." but the man at the camera objected. "Hurry up: get in position," he shouted.
His partner grouped the family in the front door and said: "Every one standstill"
There was a click. The man at the camera said "All right." and slid in a panel. Then he and his partner gath ered r.p their outfit and moved on.
Four days later the partner of the man who had worked ttie camera came into the grocery and displayed a dozen handsome photographs. "W pot a pooii picture. "That's

"Those will lie nice souvenirs.to.send to your, friends and relatives." "1 didn't order an}" pictures." "Certainly not. anil you don't have to take them unless you want to, but I should think you could find use for a dozen of them." "What are they worth?" "I'll let you h".ve. them for two dollars and a half." "1 didn't order 'em and I don't care much for 'em, but I'll give you two dollars." "That's pretty'".Cheap, but I'll take it"
It is thus that some street pliotoraphers make their money. They now that every business man is llattcreil when he wes himself in a photograph standing in a proprietary attitiuie in front of his establisment.
This is but one of the many unusual ••ays of making money in a large city, lere are small am! trivial demands which are multiplied by a large popuion, so that it often becomes profit able to furnish a supply. A professional cockroach exterminator would not seem to be a public necessity, yet the cockroach man in Chicago makes a good living. There are hotels, restau:uits ami apartment buildings always ready to pay him a good price to come with his insect powder and pater.t blower and fill all the cracks and corners of the building with a poison which will kill the pestiferous little animals. In some instances he makes a yearly contract and agrees to keep the premises clear
Th.
The professional ratter agrees for a certain sum to turn loose his ferrets and kill all the rats in a building. There are several "ratters" who are employed by the janitors of the big down-town buildings. In wholesale dry-goods and grocery houses the 'ratter" is an important man. lie and his ferrets clean the premises of rats and mice and save much property from destruction.
The soap artist makes a good living. He works principally in saloons and barber-shops, making ornate designs on the mirrors with a piece of white a"p. He is a rapid workman and is n)d on fancy letters. I-'or a quarter of a dollar he will convert a large mirror into a gigantic picture with pale effects, and usually he will spend the money with the house. Of late these journeymen artists have begun to use water colors for their mirror decorations. The bright colors give a more startling effect and can be easily washed off at any time. At least two theaters employ men to decorate saloon mirrors with gay advertisements.
There are three men in Chicago who make a fairly good living by marketing ideas. That is their business. Suppose a man opens a new restaurant. The "idea" nun pes into the place and says: "Why not put out a sign that you'll give a dish of ice cream free to every red-headed man. It would cause talk."
If the restaurant man adopts the suggestion the "idea" man will expect to be paid for it.
Ho writes poetry for soaps and patent medicines and submits it to the proprietors. If they like it he names his price. At the big retail stores he drops and confides new and startling schemes for advertising. He goes to the theatrical manager, and says: "Here, wouldn't this tie a good catch line?"
Day by day he pokes into other people's business, and is well paid for it, because, after all, there is nothing more valuable than ideas of the right kind.
The professional entertainer who goes to evening parties and cheers up the guests has never made a decided success in Chicago. There are a few of these entertainers who find some employment, but the only attempt to' establish a bureau where they might be employed at any time was a failure. In l*M:i Kurr Mcintosh, the actor, established such a bureau and engaged a lurge number of competent musicians, singers and readers, who were to be let out to parties and receptions at, so much a night. Mr. MclntoBh had made a success as a parlor entertainer in_Lqndon and_ was anxjous to introduce the Kritish custom in Chicago.
He was well patronized by a few ultrasocict.y people, but the others neglected his bureau and entertained themselves in some manner.
An eccentric gentleman goes from oflice to ofiice teaching the latest Parisian style of hair-combing, lie has not been as successful as another enterprising person who deals in crests and coats-of-arms. It is related thata wealthy and hard-headed business man with a good, old-fashioned name something like Ferguson was visited by a dapper gentleman, who carefully Vinvrapped a framed water-color Daipt-
itig of a shield bearing certain heraldic I symbols. "Well, what's that? asked the uierchant.

The other member of the firm went inside and said to the grocer: "We're going to take a picture of your store. You'd better wine out in front with your family and the clerk. course you'll want to be in it." "Why are you going to take picture? 1 didn't order one." "That's all right.

"That may lie true enough, but I don't care a continental about it. M\v father was a farmer in Ohio, and mv grandfather used toown a Hour mill mi Pennsylvania. I never got any furtherback than that and never cared to."
The visitor went away much disappointed. Hut the hard-headed business man happened to mention to his wife and daughter that the coat-of-anm had been offered him and they importuned him to purchase it no matter what the cost might lie. Therefore the Ferguson familv has a coat-of-arms and a family tree, the two costing Mr. Ferguson no less than fifty dollars. It is said that, the same gentleman who approached him has made extensive researches for other wealthy gentlemen with the invariul.de result that somewhere in the dim past he has found a family cont-of-arms.
A Chicago woman is supporting herself and deriving a good income by instructing housewives how to make angel food. She goes from house to house, and when employed as an intructor goes into the kitchen with her pupil and makes a practical demonstration of her skill. Sometimes a second or third visit is necessary, as the housewife is not considered apt until she bakes a successful cake under the watchful eye of the instructor. This woman receives two dollars from each pupil.
A colored woman living a remote region of the west side supports herself managing a dish-washing circuit. Along the street where she resides are about twenty families, who have given her the contract to wash dishes for them. She goes from house to house and covers the circuit three times a day. ller rates are fifteen cents a week for a family of not more than three, but the families are generous and give her something extra .so that lierj income is considerably more than three dollars a week.
The connoisseur who collects cigar stamps and puts them into a basket nourishes only in big towns. Then there is the man who reseats chairs, the man who polishes up metal signs, the wandering plumber who repairs leaks at non-union rates, and the woman who is introducing preparations for the complexion. The latter takes the "lady of the house" into the kitchen, induces her to steam her face over a pan of hot water and then applies various creams, powders and perfumes. When the lady of the house has been done up in white ennmel and is afraid to smile for fear she will break her face, the agent iteparts leaving the house strewn with advertising matter.
Hut of all the queer ways of making a living two boys on Fifth avenue had the queerest It was so queer that it smacked of swindling.
A well-dressed little man nt the Randolph street corner stopped for a moment to allow a car to pass. While lie was standing there a boy edged up behind him and hooked to his coat tail a card on which was printed in black letters:
L..............
As the man-went across the street several persons saw it and turned to lauph at him. The second boy was waiting- across the street. lie ran up to the man and said: "Mister there's card hooked to your coat behind. Le' me take it off." "Goodness me!" said the little man, "how did that ffet there?" "One of them tough lads put it on I guess." "Confound them! W^ll, here boy, here's a dime for you^':':* "T'anks, mister."
Two minutes latter the good Sittle boy hung in on a fat man and his partner on the other side of the street in* terceptud the fat man and collected a nickel, lie had to ask for it, but he got it
A man would be a brute to refuse a nickel to a poor boy who has done him a great service.—Chicago News.

They were well born,, well careil. for, and, \v it
