Andrew Carnegie seems to think that nothing is better for a young man than poverty—and the blessing of a protective tariff. Will Oom Paul now assume the famous role of Paul Jones, of the Bon Homme Richard, and announce: “I have just begun to fight.” . Now that Kimberley has been relieved, the price of diamonds will fall and poor people will have a chance to lay in their summer supply cheaply. The efforts of a tax ferret, aided by the county assessor, is resulting in thousands of dollars in sequestered property being placed on the tax duplicate in Elkhart county. Senator Vest thus sized up the republican policy, in a short speech: “The proposition that the U. S. can hold territory as a colonial possession and its people as vassals, is the most preposterous and dangerous that has ever been advanced in the course of my public life.”

A belated poet to his Uncle Sam in this fashion: ’‘Spain had a little lamb, the slickest lamb around. She sold the lamb to Uncle Sam for twenty million down. Then Sammy took it by the tail, to lead it home, you know; but the mutton rare, turning out a bear, and Sam can’t let it go.” Tfie Porto Rician tariff bill passed the House Wednesday by a vote of 172 to 161. Crumpacker held out to the last and voted with the democrats. Once more the republican administration supporters have shown their friendliness to the sugar and tobacco trusts. Truly, ‘‘the ox knoweth its owner and the ass his master’s crib.” The Senatorial convention to nominate a republican candidate for the State Senate from the counties of Jasper, Newton and White will be held at Goodland, March 27.

Senator Butler, Chairman of the Populist National Committee, expresses the opinion that the attempt to create friction between the democrats and populists, will fail. Speaking of the nomination of Col. Bryan, Senator Butler said: “Bryan will be the choice of three elements, the democrats, the populists and the silver republicans. The two latter will meet on the sit me day, if present arrangements are carried out, end will, in all probability unite upon the same candidate for Vice President.”
