The election is now over and the independent republican newspapers are again brazenly advocating the doctrines of democracy. The Indianapolis Star and News both talk tariff revision. The tone of voice and arguments used would do credit to a partisan democratic press. They lam bast the “stand patters’’ freely, and say that ‘the pretense that the taiiff is kept too high for the benefit of the farmer or the workingman has served its day. It is an instrument outworn and they who seek to evoke it now to bolster up special privileges to the few will find themselves leading on a broken reed. Given pause at length by the awakened conscience of the country, the “tan d-patters think to appease that conscience by brazening it out on the old lines of reforming the tariff by the friends of the tariff; that is, to keep the word of promise to the ear but break it at the hope Nothing could be more fatuous or ineffective; and if this policy is to prevail we shall find that popular intelligence and popular purpose are too alert, and determined to be trifled with.” They even say that the basis of tariff reform as conceived in republican circles is hypocritical and dishonest. They are fairly tearing their hair. Since we come to think of it, though, there is no ejection pending. It is their inning and they will mike the most of it in advertising their exclusive brand of independence. Next campaign they will be the best “standpatters" on the market.

No more weather reports for the ■ Boston Herald. It is starting out : early to be a government by Roosevelt, for Roosevelt; no others need . apply. The president’s liver is out -of whack. With a government deficit still piling higher and the enormous estimates to be oonsiderd and many of them granted by congress, the , beauties of his trust-protected ad- - ministration will soon be better understood. Revision of the tariff by an extra , session to be called by the president, is improbable. Both house and senate appropriation committees are not only rank high protectionists but their trust record is such that they can only see government favors rolling into the hands of these few. The president can do the grand stand, but his power in moving the heads of congress will not be in the least effective. Additional Locals. Miss Fuhrman returned to Berne today. While here she was the guest of her parents. Mrs. A. L. Worley returned to Berne, today. While here she was the guest of relatives. Chrs Schintz of Preble, while feeding his stock last evening, slipped and fell, breaking both bones in his left arm. Dr. C. S. Clark of this city was called and set the broken members. The accident was a peculiar one, and is giving Mr. Snhnitz considerable pain. ROUTE ONE. Miss Elsie Fuhrman spent Friday with relatives at Monmouth. Most of the farmers of this vicinity have their corn all husked. Samuel Fuhrman and John Evans returned from St. Louis Friday morning. The J. W. Place Co. are now calling for the money for ice accounts. Be prepared to meet their collector. 275d2 i

MOHAMMEDANS AND DOGS. They Take Particular Paine Not to Conte In Contact. In Egypt dogs are never permitted to enter the dwelling of a Mohammedan, and if one is found in a mosque he Is Immediately put to death. In consequence of this excommunica tlon from the society wEi-’h this animal seems so instinctively disposed to Cultivate, Egyptian dogs five, for the most part, in the open air feeding upon garbage and any other tilth that chance throws in their way. Yet they are found to be faithful protectors of the property and even persons of the very men by whom they are thus despitefully treated, although. Sonini remarks. it is extremely curious to see the pains taken by a Mussulman and a dog when they happen to meet to avoid coming in contact with each other. Notwithstanding this state of persecution, dogs are remarkably numerous in the towns of Egypt. The species is a large one, about the size and make of the greyhound. As a proof of the Mohammedan prejudice against this useful animal, it is sufficient to state that they regard the terms Christian and dog as synonymous—both, of course, in the most opprobrious sense. As a singular contrast for their dislike for dogs, the Egyptians have ever held cats in greatest veneration, and In ancient time even worshiped them. And historians tell us that Bubastla and Atribes, two towns in Egypt, the former a votary of cats and the latter of mice, contracted on that account so strong an antipathy to each other that the inhabitants were never known to intermarry, although only a few miles asunder. In some parts of India, too, we are told, they have a similar reverence for grimalkin, as the only crimes punished capitally there are the murder of a man and a cat.—New Orleans Times-Democrat Didn't Want the Family. He had at last summoned up sufficient courage to “ask papa,” when, to his astonishment, the blustering parent demanded, "Are you capable of supporting a family, sir?” "No. sir,” he replied with great firmness. “My father tackled that job and has had his wife's family on his hands ever since. I only want your daughter, sir, not the family.” On? ObHtacle Only. Scholar—Professor, your mnemonic system is wonderful, and I am sure that any one, after mastering the rules, can learn to remember anything. But I am handicapped by one difficulty. n rofessor—What is it? Scholar—l can’t remember the rules.— Town and Country. More Important. “With your daughter as my wife, sir. I can conquer the world.” “But that isn't the question. Can you make enough money to keep your self io clothes?”—Life.
