THE Yenuzuela situation is sized up by the Chicago Inter Ocean a la Trilby: '•Venuzuela as Little Billee ,is being shaken and marched off by John Bull as ^vengli, when Uncle Sam as Tal'i'e, takes a hand and makes the burly Britisliei squeal."

THAT the sentiment in favor of bimetalism is growing in England, is certain. The speech of lit. Hon. A. J. Balfour is a strong one and as he is one of Englands 1 eading Statesmen it wili carry great weight. The United States should never wait on England for bimetalism we should at once restore silver to its ancient place which would largely assist in renewing the prosperity of this county.

THE New York Mail and Express, which, under the charge of the late Eliot F. Shepherd, always had a bible text at the head of its columns each day, continued that practice under his executors until last Friday, when it was discontinued. The last text was: "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble: and he knoweth them that trust in Him."

We will guarantee that many Netv Yorkers will read less from the Bible than formerly, as the little text was protably all they ever read.

THE acquital of Titos. McDonald,of Kansas, who without provocation, shot and killed Thos. Pat-ton on the ground that lie was hypnotized, is certainly unique. Anderson Gray whom he accused of hypnotizing him lias been tried, found guilty of the murder and sentenced to be hanged. This looks like i'.. will be dangerous for persons to uss hypontie influence. It is proper and right however to nip hypnotism for evil purposes in the bud. The chances are that it would be used most for evil than for good.

THE decision of the U. S. Supreme Court on the Income tax question will be a very unpopular one. By it the incomes from rents and interest on State, county and municipal bonds are exempt, and it cuts the revenue down one half. The clesses that the framers of the law especially desired to reach are thus exempt, while manufacturers, merchants, professional men and others who are persistently striving to build up business and giving employment to hundreds of thousands, are to bs taxed. The wrong class are caught, sure- Iu Germany this income tax reaches down to all incomes, amounting to $202 per year, and that is not very much tooglow for this country.

Six hundred dollars would be about the right place to begin, and then increa.sc the per cent, as the incime increased so that th« largest incomes would pay by far the largest tax. At the present time he poorer people pay more than their proportionate share of taxes, and the matter should iu some way be equalized.

THE Western cattle raisers are organ ized to fight the big dressed beef coitibine which has for so long controlled the, market. Although the combine has raised the price of dressed beef about 25 per cent., the cattle men are getting but very little, if any more for their cattle. That has been the great trouble in this country for years. The meu who raise the cattle, hogs, corn, wheat, hay, oats, potatoes, apples, etc., do not get their proportionate share of the final selling price. Local dealers first get a whack at them, the railroads, and in the west especially their charges are enormous, then the stock yards or commission inen, then the wholesale men, then the retailer, and at this time the product is carrying five profits. which lia^ doubled or trebled the price originally paid the farmer, who did not begin to get his fair share.

l'MiASUKU TRIPS.

.Numerous Excursions the Coming Summer itt Reasonable Kates. Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to tl'.e Xew England Star.es or the Atlantic seaboard: to the South or to the lake region of the North: or co the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association: to Decatur, 111., account the German Baptist (Duukard) meeting, and to Pittsburg for the Presbyterian General Assembly. There will also be low rates over these lines to Meridian, Miss account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyterian church the same month. In .June excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania Lints to Omaha account the National Jr. O. U. A. M.: to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the International Convention of Epworth League to Cleveland, Ohio, account the Natioual Republican League Meeting, and to Roanoke, Ya., for the German Baptist meeting. Excursions for July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meetimi: to Asbury Park for the L. A. W. meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, and to Denver Col., account the National Educational Association meeting. In August excursion tickets wili be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

Tne Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Capo May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab.e opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thinii for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excursionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier, Nantucket and the (Jape Cod resorts to New York and thence tnrough the agricultural paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susqueluiuna and Juniata rivers, over the Allegheuies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johnstown and the coke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over tho Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the settson is ome weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements than the liberal concessions in rates and privilegrs that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may t'lily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or by addressing F. VAN DUSKS, chief Assistant Gen. Pass. Agt., Pittsburg, Pa. aprOwd-t-s ti!

THE HUSBAND.

At a Sorosis" dinner recently the lady who responded to the toast "Our Husbands" gave the following verses:

Who weds because wo are so dear And tlicai forgets—when it is here— The anniversary every year?

The husband.

Who when he's donning evening clothes Would with an angel come to blows And lets the whole house hear his woes?

The husband.

Who sometimes makes 113 quail and quake With lcs about the bread and cake His mother used to make and bake?

The husband.

Who calls the landlord with a frown And then slips out and goes up town, While YwJVy talks that landlord down?

The husband.

But when the clouds are dark find gray And ruin seems not far away, Who takes the helm and saves the day?

The husband.

Who grumbles lots, as well we know, That here no wine shall ever flow, Yet in his heart is glad 'tis so?

The husband.

And so, 111 water pure and dear, -Fit emblem of our rs here, I drink the In of those so di ar—

Our husbands. —Detroit Free Press.

BEHIND THE SCENES.

"You see. my boy," said Uncle Hobart, '''matrimony is a dangerous tiling. You tako a house for, say, a year, and if it doesn't suit at the year's end you give it up and tako another. You buy a horse, and if it balks you send it off to auction to bo sold. But with a wifo it is altogether diilorent. You can neither sell nor exchange her—it's a lifelong bargain." "Cut, Undo Hobart, said tho nephew and heir apparent of that gentleman, "let's take another view of tho matter. Suppose that she is all that is lovely, excellent and desirable?"

Uncle Hobart Renshaw rubbed his nose. As an inveterate bachelor of fivo and fifty he was naturally inclined to take the less sanguino view7 of tho case. "Paul," said ho, "it's of no use to argue the matter. A young man in love is a young man mad for the time being. If you've made up your mind to got married, not all tho arguments in creation will avail against it. Only be sure you make a right choice. Remember liow much depends upon it."

I flower? If I could think of any other I comparison"— "You needn't troublo yourself," interrupted Uncle Hobart. "What I want to find out is what they are like. .1 "Esther is bright and sparkling

Emily is all softness and refinement. Esther is a brunette, with the blackest I hair I ever saw. Emily has chestnut curls and blue eyes, and a lovely, fair I complexion." "Exactly." Uncle Hobart hummed an old tniio which had been popular in his youth:

Black eyes most da/.i'.lo at a liall Blui ryes most plcusc when shadows fall. "And which do you liko best, Paul, eh?" "They are both of them charming!" energetically answered the young man. "Upon my life, uncle, I sometimes wish that thu Turkish system prevailed here, I and that I could marry botli of them." "Difficult to decide which is the most fascinating?" questioned Uncle Hobart. "But tho thing is, my lad, which will wash and wear the best for everyday life?" 3j "That is a question which tho futuro will decide, uncle. Unfortunately we have no chemical test to decide the matter." "Think not said Undo Hobart dryly. "Look here, Paul, up to tho present time you have only seen tbeso girls thro a os vi it in re and company manners. What would iv to be a re a are—to get a peep behind tho scenes?" "Half that I am possessed of, uncle!" cried out Fontaine, with animation, "if only to be able to satisfactorily prove to you, sir, how pure and noble and high I souied they are. But all this is nonsense. Of course it is an impossibility!" "Nothing of tho sort," said Undo Hobart. "You say that up to tho present theso girls do not know me personally or of my connection with tho board of health. Well, it is truo that I am noither a wizard nor a magician, but I am what is quite as useful in this matter—a sanitary official. I go into people's back doors when I wish it. Istrido remorselessly through their kitchens and cellars when I want to seo for myself rather than trurft my inspectors. I am at liberty to take a down stairs view of tho world. Eh, young man, what do you think of that?" •,

Paul Fontaine stared. "I don't understand how"— "But you will, doubtless, when I tell yon that tho Lindleys' house is in my district that I have decided to go there tomorrow morning to see personally that all tho drainago is perfect. If you choose to volunteer a little help, I'll disguise you as ono of my men and"— "With all my heart, uncle!" cried the young man, with glittering eyes and heightened color. "I fear no ordeal to which you can subject Esther and Emily. Believe

1110,

Paul Fontaino laughed good humoredly. Like all young men, ho thought so much caution quite unnecessary. "There aru two sisters of tliuso Lindleys, you say?" said Undo Hobart reflectively, polishing his glittering spectacle glasses. "Two, sir—Emily and Esther. "Both of 'em pretty?" "As twin blush roses, sir." "There you go!" said Undo Hobart testily. "Right into sentiment, fust like a throo volumo novel. "Well, sir, isn't it natural enough to tinmottiy tappim compare a pretty girl to a beautiful

his borough surveyor's salary as honestly as if he depended on it for his daily bread.

People call him a miser, but little cared he for that. Tho widow, the fatherless and he that was ready to perish could tell a different tale, and Hobart Renshaw, quaint and eccentric though he was, could read the book of human character with an almost unerring eye.

"Run, Betty, run! It's that nuisance of a drainman again. It does seem to me as if he came about a great deal oftoner than is at all necessary."

The Lindleys were people who kept I np a grand appearance upon a comparaI tively disproportionate foundation.

Their sitting room was elegantly furnished their hall upholstered in Persian patterned Brussels, with rosewood rack and Gothic hall chair, but the kitchen was a gloomy, subterranean apartment, scantily furnished and uninviting in aspivt

Mon over, thu Lindleys were struggling to keep up appearances 011 a moderate income, and Befry, the little workhouse girl, in her print frock and thick shoes, was the only servant they kept. "Dear me! what is the young man sticking his nose in .here tor.'" cried out Esther indignant]} "Do_s he expect to find drains in the fireplace or under the wash tubs?" "Please, sir, the sink's iu tho cellar, sir. This way, sir!" said Betty, clamping 011 ahead and turning open a cellar door, whence rushed out a blast of sopulchrally damp air.

But tho one glance into the kitchen had been enough. Esther, in a greasy pink dress, and her hair in a bristle of curl papers, sat before a tray, with a

bowl in her lap. eating a 10 o'clock breakfast, while her pretty feet, thrust into a pair of badly worn slippers, displayed sundry unniendcd holes, and a 1 soiled pocket handkerchief tied arount her neck did duty in place of tho neat collar or frill generally suppo-id to bo necessary:

Mrs. Lindlev was bending over a huge I kettle of bubbling and boiling preserves I upon the range, and at the washtub stood a slight, trim figure, with an apron tied around her waist and sleeves above the elbow, Emily herself, serubbing away with the energy of a laundross, and her shining hair wound lustrous braids around and about her small head.

Uncle Hobart, following closely at I tho heels of his nephew, was just in fimo to. hear Esther's petulant voice I from tho other room sounding shrilly 011 their ears. "It's too bad, mamma! The toast is |-scorched to a cind* and the coffee isn't I drinkable. I ni'nst JiriYb some fresh made!" "Oh, Ettie, don't!" coaxed Emily. I-"Mauinla 'in so' tired, and siio lias so much to do! Won't agiass of milk o?" j. "NoV ifr'won't 1 must have coffee, and decent co'l'ee, too!" asserted tho her pretty foot on the her jetty brows. "Then I'll make it, said Emily, "if you'll wait until: I get theso collars rubbed out. "I'd lie ashamed to turn washerwomgrumbled Miss Esth

true!" "Well, we'll sec, said Mr. Renshaw. "In the meantimo supposo you ring for tea.''

Mr. Hobart Renshaw was a man of property, but lie was also a man of peculiarities. Ono of these was to earn

ia"l«iittin#

an, "I'm not ashamed of anything that is useful!" cried Emily, with spirit, "when. papa, works so hard and tho washing bills are so heavy.,v It won't hurt either of us to do a little honest work and spare mamma all we can. "Do leave off moralizing and get my coffee.!" snarled Esther, who had evidently risen in no amiable mood.

And the borough surveyor and his bogus assistant, having no excuse for remaining longer, heard nothing more.

Paul Fontaine was silent as ho walked along the street, but Uncle Hobart chuckled softly to himself. ".Nothing liko an inside view!" said he. "The up stairs angel often turns into a down stairs demon, eh? 1:1a! ha! ha! Paul, my boy, bewaro of brunettes. There's mischief behind the arch 01 thoso black brows. If you'ro determined to have a wife, take the one at tho wash tub, tho little girl who wanted to help her mother." "I believe you are right, Uncle llobart," said Paul.

"But tell me, Paul, how you canto to chooso mo instead of Est h.T?" questioned tho blue eyed bride as they stood together by the sea at Brighton the week after their wedding. "Esther is so much prettier, so much lovelier than me. Every one likes Esther better than they do me. And do you know, darling, I half think that Esther was just a little disappointed that you didn't prefer her?'' "Do you think so?" said Paul carelessly. "Wo can scarcely account for our preferences. Esther is very brilliant and beautiful, and when first wo bocanie acquainted I was fairly bewitched by her. But now I value the steady shining star of your love above all tho will-o'-the-wisps in creation!"

But he never told her of his amateur sanitary inspection and Undo Hobart's test of character.—London Tit-Bits.
