Mrs. J. Ellen Foster led a small bolt from the AV. C. T. U., because that organization would <.enounce vice-president Morton’s saloon.— Mr. J. EPen Foster holds a pcsitiou under the present administration, which accounts for the ...ilk in the coconut. Uro. Marshall is in sympathy with the bolt. The Democratic State Central Committee met at Indian polis on last Wednesday and directed that headquarters be immediately established n tnat city. Reports from all parts of the State were very encouraging.

WANTS A CHANGE OF BASE.

General Baldwin, of Logansport, in. a recent inteiview was asked what h * thought the Fifty-first Congress should do in regard to the tariff, if anything. “Well, my opinion is that the present excessive war tariff should tie cut down one-half at least, with, of course, the proper discriminato i; against old and enormously profitable, and in favor of new an i modentdy paying industries, he replied. “If we don’t do. this Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress will do it for us in 1893. Reform is in the air, and the simpl question is, shall we Republ.cans do it ourselves, or wait for th » Democrats to do it 9 We have a most instructive precedent in recent English politics. About a dozen years ago Gladstone and the Liberals were attacking Disraeli upon manhood suffrage. The Liberals were carrjing everything before th:in, when one fine morning Disraeli came in with a suffrage bid that quite took the Liberals’ breath My recollection is that tfie Tones stayed in a half years longer. ” '‘But Judge, don’t you put. your reform motives rather low—a question of staying in oowerj” “No. I put the necessity of cutting down *he present excessive war tariff upon the broad ground that it is wrong, and that U is working untold harm to the Jte publican party.” ‘ But is not this contrary to what you have been advoca' ing for y.ars?” * “No. Since the tariff became a controlling issue, I have never made a speech in which 1 did not insist that our present tariff was too high and $Ht it should he cut down. I have always insisted, however, that it should b? revised upon the protective principle. I am in of a moderate protectivi) ; sufficient, to use the current phrase, to meet the expenses of the government economically administered.” “Then you loakaMhe e ections last week yj Qhio and lowa as meaning something more than local issues/ “1 certainly do. Ido not believe that th > farmers of the United States will ever again I e in favor of the present war tariff. My notion is thtf, without a radical change, the taQners, in 1890-92, will go us The inequalities of the present tariff are very hard on the agricul sural interests The farmer is provided with a S PQ?D, while the manufacturers repgfyethe piojtect.on by the shovelfull. Why should the farmer be compelled to sell his wheat at the price fixed in Liverpool, in the market of the world, and to buy all his necessities from manufacturers protected from 30 to 75 per While the latter is becoming enormously wealthy, the former are pulling the devil around bv |h| tail and just making a living. The tariff should treat all classes as n?ar alike as possible.” “This sounds very jtunch like Demote talk?” “ “Well, if it does, I can’t help jt. J 1 don’t want Republican party go

down upon the tariff abuses when | they hold z.ll the cards in their own bands.” “But is it not believed that the new States and the proposed Federal election supervision have made everything solid?” “Don’t you believe it. There are twenty thousand Republicans in the State and a million in the United States who think as I do about tariff eform, and if the pres nf| ibuses are not eliminated will rebel. If Congress dodges and shuffl' s and cuts off the tobacc > tax a .d tinkers a litlle here and ther j, but mak.-.s no radical tariff reform, we shall certainly go to the wall. We can’t afford to be defeated in 1890 so as to commen e the revis.on in 1891. It must begin at once, and with malice toward none and with charity for all, with a careful tariff revision and reduct.on all along die line ” In spite of the declaration of Mr. Baldwin that he always insisted “that our present tariff was too high and that it should be cut down, ’ and that he u as “in favor of a moderate protective tariff, sufficient, to .use the current phrase, to meet the expenses of the government economiccally administered,” the line of argument employed by him in the 1 st camp?ign was radically different from the views expressed above.

ONE ON MAHONE.

M essrs. Cheadle, of Indiana, and Brumm, of Pennsylvania, were invited by General Mahone to stump the State of Virginia in his interest. They had an appointment at Cumberland Court H >use, in Cumberland county, which has a very hnavy negro majority; and the Democrats made no attempt to meet them, supposing it would be a hopeless cas- to make any contest there. So the two Republicans, alone, addressed a very large negro assembly, discussing at length the intricacies of the tariff and other questions of national importanc?, and went on to speak in the highest terms of General Mahone, nis Republicanism, his friendship for the negro and i ow much he had d ne to elevate them and help them assert their rights. A negro in the audience, by the name of Hughes, before thd meeting adjourned, requested that he might be permitted to reply to the two gem’len Jfrom the North, and referred to Mr. Cheadle rts Mr. Beadle, and Mr. Brumm as Mr. Bruen, sarcastically likening them to the animals those names repre seated. After discussing other matters agitated in the campaign, he Qnajly took u the question of General Mahone’s love for the negro, saying he would illustrate how much the General loved the negro by repeating a dream he bad had the night before. T dreamed,’ said he, “that I had done gone and died, and after I was dead 1 found out 1 didn’t have no wings, and I Towed I’d walk to Hekven, and when I fetched up at the golden gate I knocked, and the gate keeper, he came out and axed me how I got way up th ire to the golden gate, and I ’lswed to him pintedly that I com 6 all the way on foot. The gate keeper he say: ‘You caint come in here to-da ,r , for 1 ain’t admitting nobody cept they is on hossback.’ bo I was turned away from the golden gate. When 1 was coming back to you all again, 1 met General Mahone tight en that same road, and I says, says J: ‘Whar you gwine, Mars’ Billy?’ and he says, says he: ‘l’m gwine to Heaven, stand aside.' I tole him ‘you caint get in thar, Mars’ Bil.y, 'cause they ain’t taking nobody in, ’less they is m< unted .on hossback.’ Then General Mahone said: ‘You get down on your knees, you bli.ck rasca , and I’ll get or your back, and w>’]l ride in together.’ Mars’ Billy he climbed up a stump and got onto my back and we cantered up to the gate, ind I ’lowed I’d knock again The gatekeeper, he come out and he says: ‘Who’s that?’ I says: ‘Mars’ Billy Mahone.’ The gatekeeper, he says gain: ‘ls he mounted or on foot?’ I tole him ‘He’s on hossback, of couse, for he’s Mars’ Billy Mahon?, of Petersburg, the friend of the cudud Then the gatekeeper he hollored out loud, he did: ‘General Mahone, tie yo’ hobs on the outside, and come inl’ And I jesk laid back and ’lbwed to self: ‘Niggah, sold again!” And that’s the way Mars’ Billy Mahone

wants to ride you into the Republican party.” The sequel was th tthis county of Cumberland, which nad previously given 800 Republican ma jority, was carried by the Demo crats by about 150, and the first time they had carried it in 20 ve.,rs.

George Furnished the Anna.

Emm?—*-So you’re engaged to George Halby.” '•Sadie— ‘ Yes, Gvorge and I came to an understanding some weeks ago. You remember the wheat corner in Chicago?” Zmma— “To be sure I do.” Sadie—“ Well, that’s the time I got taught in the squeeze.’’

New Style in Trunks.

Trunkmakers, say that the gigantic Saratogas are'‘“out of style,” and that Women of good sense are preferring to buy two moderate sized trunks, about forty inches long, with flat tops and iron bands and oak tips. Wicker trunks are also popular—both with vomen and expressmen.

The Giri on Your Arm.

You can tel! pretty well how a girl feels towa’d you by the way she takes your arm, says a connoisseur in the San Francisco Chronicle. If she ftoesn’t care- a cent you know it by the difference of her muscle, If she ha* a great confidence in you the prossun tells it; and 1 friendship !® as distinct from love in that mode of expression m in words or looks. * A woman can take the arm of a fellow k,he likes with perfect comfort, even if she is six feet hiA and he is four. But, even if the wd are just matched, she can make hto feel disdain, contempt, discomfoH, dislike—anything she likes, by the way she holds on to him. lam told there is a great deal of difference, too, between the way a girl fits a waist to one man’s arm as compared with another, but hardly believe it.

What Is Fog?

In an inter eating letter to Science, H. A. . Harlen, of Washington, gives some interesting and valuable wartictdars respecting the properties nature of fog. He says that it xiitted that fog is simply cloud composed of water dust or solid minute spheres of water from 1-7,000 to 14,900 of an inch in diameter. Many have supposed that a duet particle must be a nucleus for each sphere, but an examination under the microscope of evaporated fog has proved that such is not .the case. . Briefly stated, the cause fog Is as follows: It is essential that there be no wind. The sky ■nust be clear. The air must be saturated or hearly so. The formation ol fog is purely a mechanical process, ■inaccbmpanied with heat.

Pecullarities of the flg.

A California paper mentions some ol the peculiarities of the fig. It has no blossomy and evidently requires breathIng places, for from the little button at the end, there are minute ducts or ai spaces which run right through the i fruit and clear into the stem. If, ir drying, tty) fig is not placed as it grow on the tree tna fruit sours and molds. The fruit does not hang from the tree but inclines upward, held by the stem, and this button, or mouth, opens toward the sun. If nol so placed when being dried the button is shaded and •-he fruit then spoils.

TWO DINNER PAILS.

Their Contents Threw Licht on the State of Affairs at Home. Two workmen sat down by the edge of a new building and prepared to eat their dinners which they had brought with them in covered baskets, and the sketch artist, who was waiting for a car. had the audacity to peer into the baskets to see how well a workingman can live. There was a great similarity in the appearance of the two men ant. in the outside of the baskets, but when the lids were raised they revealed totally different contents. One had light, sweet-looking homemade bread cut in thick white slices, some clean cut slices of cold meat, two hard boiled 'eggs, and a section of gooseberry pie. It was a regular picnic lunch, and it showed thrift, good cooking and a woman’s loving hand. The other mam’s was . a miscellaneous collection of broken bits, scraps of baker’s bread, cold fried potatoes, a sog’g’y bone and a crust of cheese. But herein lies a moral command-—judge not! As the. sketch artist stepped on the car the man with the appetizing lunch asked of his comrade: “Jimmy man, how is the old woman the day?” Very slowly the answer came: “Awful bad Mikey and gittin’ wuss,” and that little by-talk told the story of his home '•te nnH the nesrlected ' ♦ i ■ » Had her ■ .

BEEN IN A DREAM.

Th® Mysterious Return of a Gold Cot® After Twelve Years. I In 1868 Lizzie M. Trask of Vienna. Me., was dress-making in LawistocShe came into possession of a gold 25oent piece with a hole in it This she showed as a curiosity to her friends At that time she had a little niece 2 years old, daughter of Jonathan P. Trask, now the wife of Leman Butler, trader in Mount Vernon. The little coin Lizzie once showed to her niece Addie when she was a very small girl, telling her that she would give it to her when she was old enough to take care of it. Lizzie died twelve years ago. In her possession was- a lady’s wallet with several compartments. This wallet her mother usesLuntil her death seven years ago. Then James, a brother of' Lizz?©-, had it, and it has been in constant use ever since, either by him or his wife The little gold coin was never seen after Lizzie’s death or before for several years by. her friends, and its whereabouts was not known, and;in. fact its existence had passed from their memory. A few days ago Mrs.. Butler made her parents a visit, stopping; with.them several nights. While there, says the Augusta (Me.) New Age,- she dreamed that she saw her Aunt Lizzie’s wallet , and ; that it was faced with green andlin a certain compartment she found, the littlte gold coin which she saw so many years ago. On telling her mothen her- dreama she was informed that Lizzie did. have a wallet which answered! her description, and that her Uncle James had it. The wallet Addie had never seen. She then visited her unele and: told her dream to her aunt, who. laughed at the idea of anything being in it other than what she and her husband bad placed there. But on Addie’S earnest, solicitation she produced it and: as soon as Adldie saw it she exclaimed! ‘•‘•That is the same wallet that I saw/ in my dteam, ” and pointed out the' compartment that held the 1 treasure. She then took a needle, ana running it to the bottom she drew forth a newspaper, and in it was, indeed,, a gold quarter with a hole in it, wrapped, no doubt by the hand of her aunfc at least twelve years before, where' it had lain all this time, without, the knowledge of any One until Addie’s dream, caused it to be brought forth..
