That was a very undignified position for Mrs. Charlotte .Smith to assume th? spanking: with a slipper of a young mr.n named Lewis K. Tmn. Mrs. Smith is the president of the Woman's rescue leairuf of I'.ost.ei. She has achieve 1 worthy fame in her efforts to morally elevate yoiüit; workins girls. She- was fined $10 for spanking Tobin, but demonstrated to the young- man, that she would tolerate no sort of f.olishness. Th democrats of IndianaiIis held a eu:;ty convention lat Saturday, and the manr.fr In which the factions '"pot together" very much resembled a prize riii. At several times during1 the day free fights were almost pre.-ipit ued. an.l bittf. r was th felinpr engendered that in the evening an adjournment was taken without completing the tLket. Ft. Waynf Uazet:e. If all the other liars were to die the G'ztte could supply the world's markets and have a handsome surplus for the planets. In view cf the persistent efforts to annex Hawaii, with its larpe Japanese coolie population, it is probably Just as well that Mr. Kvc rett's resolution permitting Japs to become citizens was smothered in committee. While th? Japs are jMssessed of many desirable qualities, there i3 at the present time no great necessity for opening the doors to their citizenship. In the event of a conquest of their country by the Chinese they might take to emigration, and this country would then have as grave a problem to settle a it ever had in connection with the Chinese. While there has been considerable disappointment among Mr. Hynum's democratic constituents at the course he ha3 taken in the controversy between the senate and house on the tariff bills, we think no one questions the sincerity of hla devotion to the cause of tariff reform, or the value of the services he has rendered it. Mr. Dynum is a man of ability and Integrity, and is. and has been for several year3, one of the recognized leaders of his party In congref.s.

"conservative" on the tariff question. There is no protection sentiment to sjeak of among the democrats of th-? Seventh district, and if the platform adopted today voices their almost unanimous conviction, it will contain a siuare-tt.ed and radical declaration of the faith proclaim-' ed at Chicago by the national convention' two years ago. Upon such a platform I Mr. Rynum can be elected, and so could any other democrat of like ability and character who might be nominated. tiu: i:m of tiik fight. The tariff struggle has at length reached a termination, and we fear it is the worst termination that could jxssibly have been readied for the democratic party and for the country. Doubtless the democratic conferees from the nous.? have done what they honestly believe to be the best that could be done, but the conclusion cannot be escaped that they have been forced to an humiliating surrender to the s-nate traitors. No more impressive statement of that could be ma le than in Mr. Wilson's words: We have been confronted by a senate with closed ranks while we have had divisions from the beginning that have been fomented from the senate, and the growing Impatience of members to get back to their districts with anything that might h called a tariff reduction bill, has made them unwilling to stay unless promise ooul.l be Riven of assured or most probable victory. We could not honestly give such promise, and a man cannot continue a battle with his army ready and eager to break away. And if anything were needed to emphasize the fact that the house reparded its action as a surrender the resolution for separate bills for five sugar, free iron and free coal furnl.-hes it. We helieve that if the house had thopiughly uiiderstood the sentiments of the people it would have risked the threatened acti n of the senat" and made its a -peal to the people for indorsement of Its course. It cannot so we'd appeal to thm now. of course if the separate bills propped should be,t,ni liws the result would be as satisfactory as If It had be- n attain d in th general bill, but until they becme laws it is useless to talk of them. Th-y may serve to throw responsibility on the senate, but the s.-n-aie cans nothing for responsibility, and it has made the house shoulder so mu'-h of the responsibility tliat the iu stion of responsibility becomes only one of comparison. To hive resisted the senate to th last would have left the house free from any part of the burden. As the matt.'-r n-uv stands we fallback on the undeniable proposition that this bid is bett.r than th McKinley bill. Undoubtedly it is. Nothing could he worse than that aggregation of atrocities. And it is much better. Tn ls7 and lsss the d mocratic fight was practically for free wool and nothing more. This, bill gie.s fr:e wool, free lumber, free flax and jure and free hemp, with enmm nsurate reduction on the g .-ds mide from th'-se materials. The right of the president to levy taxes under the reciprocity system is removed. The income tax is add d. These are great steps of progress, and so. for that matter, is the reduction of the duty On coal and iron by almost one-half. If such a bill could have been passed in 1SS7 or 1S8 it would have b "en considered a phenomtnal triumph. But education in tariff reform has outrun the wildest dreams of six years ago, and the people are now set on radical action. Possibly the sober second thought may reconcile them to accept for the present the gaining of the outposts of protection, and procefd as rapidly as possible to reduee its remaining- strong-holds. A general tariff bill will now no longer be necessary. and tne remaining tariff barons can be attacked sinpiy. The Sentinel has made the strongest fight it could to secure other results. It has nothing to retract or apologize for. It is still for tariff reform, and will continue to be so until the last vestipe of purchased legislation is wiped from the statute books. TIIK COlVntVS IUMMOSS. The statistics of imports and exports for is:4 (year ending June 30) show the off -et of the depression of trade on the country produced by the republican money panic, and also indicates to some extent the effects of pending tariff legislation.

If the item of sugar be omitted the free imports for 1894 would be $48,000,000 less than the average for five years past It is therefore obvious that a very large proportion cf the decrease is due to general economy on the part of the people, for nothing else could account for the (shrinkage of free imports, and If there be a shrinkage of $4?,000.000 in free Imports there would certainly be a heavy shrinkage of dutiable experts for the um reason.

By comparing the totals it will be seen that our exports for the year exceed our imports by over $215.-n-;.iKV, or. m other words, the "balance of trade" is in our favor to that extent. Such an excess will necessarily turn the current of money this way and therefore insure agaln.'-'t any danger of a relapse of the money panic. The figures clearly show the economy and forethought of the people. It his been said that hard times make prosperity and prosperity makes bard times. That is to say, hard times beget economy and econnmy begets prosperity, but prosperity begets extravagance and extravagance begets hard times. Every condition is favorable to a rapid return to good times at present. The farmers long White river be-low Mnncie have prepared for Joint litigation as-ainst the Consumers' paper company of that city for pollution cf the stream. Their action is timely, and it serves as a warning to all that greater care must be vak jn to prevent The pollution of our streams from this and other causes or they will become prolific sources of pestilence. It should also give force to the demand for the purification of water for domestic use taken from the streams, as in this city. Sand filtration is cheap and effective. It ought to be applied everywhere, and especially at this point. Tic city authorities have ample pwer to require it. hut unfortunately at present they are i-m trolled by the corporations. fERSONAL,.

Ia Tired of Her (iovrrnnr. The recent republican convention in Iowa was entirely silent regarding Governor Jaekson and the mulct tax law, which is practically the only thing which has distinguished his administration. The silence as to the governor is easy to account for. He has never been popular with his party, which elected him as a matter of supposed necessity after it had discovered his true character between the date of the convention anel the election. Iowa republicanism is heartily tired of the governor it elected, and there Ls no doubt that it will deny him a renomination if he seeks one. The silene as to the mulct law is hardly less easy to understand. Th spectacle whleh the party of great moral ideas makes as the champion of a law nullifying another of the laws of the state is not a pleasam one for the republicans to contemplate. The state i,n the attitude of selling- the privilege to violate law ls very displeasing to the party which has placed it in that attitude. St. Louis RepublicThe 1'urty of Corruption.

ALONG THE BYWAYS.

Ex-CJovernor Fletcher of Missouri . formed the center of a little group of t congressmen the other day who were ; discussing the times. i "When I was a boy," said he, "I lived j among the pioneers in Missouri. They j were a fine class of people; all in all, the b-st people ever knew. They drove ! back the Indians, and made bear and deer their meat, as the saying goes. It was before the days of the sehexMrnaster. Occasionally we had a three months' subscription s.-hool, but the master was employed mre for his physical qualifications to discipline the big hnys than for his learning. It was before the days of base ball and f.otball. and the sport that stood at the head of the list was a 'gander pulling.' The men met," continued the governor, "at some suitable cross-roads store, where IS cents per gallon corn whisky was dispensed, and they pooled in $1 each, say twenty or twentyfive of them. That wa; a big pttre in i those days. Then they got the oldest and toughest gander that roamed that circuit. The feathers were carefully plucked from his neck, and the neck was covered with grease and soap. After these preliminaries Mr. Gander was securely tied to the swinging limb of a tree, hanging head downward. This done, the mn would mount their horses, a circle was drawn, the master of cere monies took his place in the center of the ring, whip in hand, and kept every horse on a lively run as the riders tried to catch the gander's neck. The man that succeeded" in pulling off the neck raked in the pot. If he held on until he was pulled off the horse, it counted for the gaiider. and the rider was out. It was a little tough on the fowl, but as a feat of strength and horsemanship It was worth seeing, and the knights of old never put lance in rest or rode in a tournament to greater applause among the spectatois than was showered uin them by the throng at a gander pulling. I was once an eyewitness of this strange sport. Of course, it wound up with a dance, and the hero who pulled off the gander's head danced with the prettiest girl. "Pretty girls? Your young ladies of today wouldn't have been in it with t heist rosy-cheeked lassies. All the candidates for otTl;e were there, electioneering. They didn't make many speeches in th d.ys. They set "-m up and mixed about ami talked with the boys. Wt II, all that old set is gone now. Their defendants are more learned and hive modern manners, habits and amusements, but they are not better in any sens. than the sturdy old pioneers, thaIr ancestors." Washington Post. "This c nmtry is doubtless overrun with tramps," said A. L. Lightburne of New York as he handed a beggnr a dime in front of the Southern last evening, "but if yu wish to .see that class of people- in all their glory you should pay a visit to Italy. Three years ago a friend and myself determined to spend a two-month's vacation in that picturesque country. We landed at Naples, and, not being overburdened with cash decided to depend on guide books, carry our own umbrellas and sachels and ignore the lazaroni, who we had been told besieged every traveler, insisting on performing even the most trilling service for him, for which he was expected to pay. The lazaroni, howevor. had no notion of ignoring us. The moment we set foot upon the wharf we were surrounded by them. As my friend stooped to pick up his cane, which ho had dropped, several articles fell from his breast pocket, among which was a revolver. A ragged fellow snatched it up and handed it la a gendarme, who gave it up on the payment of a dollar. The carrying of weapons was forbidden in Naples. We started off on foot In search of lodgings. A dozea or more dilapidated lazaroni doggej our steps, importuning us to allow ihem to carry our luggage or direct us to a hotel. In despair we rushed into a cafe and spent three hnurs over our breakfast, hoping in this way escape our p?rseeutors. We were mistaken. No sooner did we emerge from our place of refuge than thy c.me forth from their lurking place around the corner, and we gnt rid of them only when, after a long tramp, we found rooms to our liking. One of the most amusing' sights 1 witnessed during my stay there was the street thit U most favored by the lazaroni. A Ion array of small furnaces e::.end along ech side. Over ea:h is a stewpan, and behind it a cook with an enormous ladle, ready at all hours to serve rr.aearcml to customers?. At first we wondered how people could live in such poverty, but, after a day or two we wondered how they could help living. Food can be had for almost nothing. A tnird of a pair of trousers anl a woolen cap is all they need in the way of clothing, and they live for the most part in the open air. They struck me as being the idlest and Jolüest set of human beings I ever saw." Globe Democrat. Here ls a huge, new rich joke on Col. Ochiltree. The colonel is nothing If not an epicure, but business called him down town during a few consecutive days last week and he lunched at a restaurant where the men he wanted to meet were of far more importance to him than the table d'hote luncheon which was served. One evening it happened the colonel was detained down town longer than usual and went to the tame restaurant for dinner. Never did he look .more georgeous. more imposing, more 'roseate. He said to the waiter with his own inimitable wave of the hand: "I only want a couple of dishes, garcon. What hajfe you on tle le mentis?" "Cream of celery $oup, broiled bass, beef a la nuxle, roast mutton, lettuce and tcmato salad, a huekelterry tart. ice cream, cheese, coffee and red or white wine," responded the wrdter glibly. "What!" roared the co'onel indignantly. "Peef and mutton as the entree and the roast! Give me the bill a la carte! I will order a single dish!" "Pardon, sir." said the waiter, bowing. "As a matter of fact, I can give you sweetbreads with green peas for the entree and roast capon, but I did not suppose you knew." This was toa- much. The colonel rose, put on his hat, took up his cane, deliberately uiset his chair, and, hissing into the face of the waiter, "I am Col. Ochiltree, you infernal scoundrel!' marched ponderously out of the cafe. But I am afraid he will never get over the insult. N. Y. rres. "I never read of a bloodless French duel," said Julian Holmes of Denver, Col., who was at the Lindell yesterday, "without thinking of a terrible encounter In the dark between two miners in a Colorado camp more than thirty years ago. The two men had been enemies back East and had met accidentally at the mines. Each one was on the lookout for a quarrd with the other, and within a week ai. excuse had been found for a fight. The miners expected the men to settle their dispute then and there with fists or knives, as came handiest. This did not suit the Intense vindictivene of the two combatants, who determined te fight a duel with- piätols in the dark. Naturally enough, no one cared to acc an second under these conditions, for even the opportunity of dodging stray bullets would imi be afforded. Hence th.o two men retired alone in the dark, and, stationing themselves about twenty paces apart, commenced firing recklessly. We listened to the shooting from the camp until it finally died out. and then several of us went to ascertain the extent of the damage. Both men had been hit severaJ times, but neither was

quite dead. We carried the'two fighters back into camp, where they died during th? night, after a m ?t affecting reconciliation and frequent; expressions of deep mutual regret. Neither would give his real name or addresses, and their friends could never be communicated with in consequence." Globe-Democrat. e Scott Wike, assistant secretary of the treasury, was at the Grand Pacific the other day. passing through town on his way back to Washington. A mm fr m southern Illinois, who was in th rotunda, saw him and said to a friend, with whom he was charting: "There- g s Scott Wike. Every man. woman and child down in Pike coun.y knows him and the folks down ill PiltTicld tell a pood story on him.

Some days ago Mr. Early White of South Macon was engaged in suinrintending the cleaning out of his well. 11:. work had progres.-ed for some time when the idea struck him that he ought to go down in the well and see how the work w-a- blng done. He was lowered to tbbottom by a rope and bucket attaehe-d to a windlass thu was us.-d in drawit.g tin the thr?i and city from the well. The well-dicer who hod the job in hand had to co:r.e to the top to allow the proprietor of the premises to go down on his tour of inspection. When he reached the lottom he cast his eyes- upward anl saw to his utter horror ;ha head of an ininier.se rattlesnake pvotru rintr out of the side of the wtU less than six feet above his head.

"I suppose no professional 'globe-trotter' is ever satisfied." said .Tames T. Kurd of Xew York, "without a sojourn in Abxandria and a voyage of four or live weeks up the Nile. The river itself, I must say. did at first sadly disappoint me. XVe Americans are apt to oe ruth-r exacting in the matter of rivers naturally enough, considering the beauty ajid grandeur of our own. When I saw the strong stream in the hot sunshine, looking like floating mud rather than water, I hated to believe it the Nile of my dreams. Heauty, majesty and power, not utility, was what I wanted to see in the historic river. But when the sun went down and the moon gilded, not silvered, the stream, then1 it became, indeed, the river of my imagination. The unsightly banks, which by day were steep wall of black mud, like huge unbaked brick, became picturesque and even beautiful, with waving groves of palm and fields of grain."
