A lined man lifted the yoke to this bull's neck, when the uuruly beast gave a slid leu tos of the head to throw it otf, aud then a luuge for liberty. i ith bowed neck and a swing of the head, he struck at Merl., who stood nearest, and the sharp lipped horn ripped through the clothing iuto tin. tlesii and tore a gash in Mert.' abdo H as he was lifted from ais feet and thrown like a p.aytliiug tuliy ten feet backward to the ground. With blood dripping from Hie horn the bull, bellowing with rage, dashed at his prost rate victim and bored him almost into the earth, as the greul weight of the mad b-ast drove the hoi us again iuto the already torn and bio. dy Iki jy.

The dog only loosened (MM hold, to catch a better one. d pits the bull's frantic efforts to gore and paw buii. The Newfotniiiland seemed veil

aware that the most ertective way a dog can put the strongest, maddest bull or cow at its mercy is to plaut its teeth iu the nostrils of the bovine, aud from the throat the dog suaped aud grabbed at the bull's nose, regardless of the deadly effort of horu and hoof to crush him. Once the dog gained the vital hohl, the bull, iu distress, had to follow, as tlie plucky Ne wfoaudlaud held grimly ou. though tossed aud j. i t about iu the air like a rag.

They have Ml the demands of the contributors to republican corruption funds by enacting a law that enables those contributors to recover the full amount of their contributions with heavy Lnlerrst from the people, and this po doubt fully meets the republican ideo of what is needed in the way of remedial legislation. The party leaders have concluded apparently to rest their case on the Iing!ey law and to trust to the full restoration of prosperity for further political capital. The republicans met a great crisis in a partisan spirit and essayed to satisfy the demands of a suffering people by imposing upon them additional heavy burdens.

Claim of

ffssuslasa. Out in Ohio the republica ns OSes been eompellod to resort to the cisHa that the McKinley administration is responsible for the recent rise in wheat. T his has been done, not directly, but indirectly. Mr. Banna began it by announcing in the beginning of tbe sein p ti that bl bad received information to rh- effect that I'rovideosa wa on the SidS of the republicans. 0b the heels of this it arag a comparntivelj" easy matter to inform the voters t hat, to Mr. McKinley, under PrOI idence, should be j,'iieti the credit for dollar whea. Tint gtest mati bad Doooonsr been elected thnn he Bat-about arrnnßinp for a famine in India and short wheat crops all over the world except In these I'nited States, of w liicli he anC EiaunS are the chief manapers. .ind of WbOOfl liberties they are the bull-works, as it were. All this has been piven out in Ohio w ith a good deal of solemnity, Banna, in the frei and-ea-sy How of bis ffUBfe, has held t.iese thinps before the attention of his audiences until the whole rampaigo seems to depend m the promulgation of the belief that 1 he Mr Kinlcy administration has really been powerful enough to create famine conditions elsewhere in order to induce the otersto indorse Ilanna. Bui BrOW there seems to he trouble ahead, and the Cincinnati Knqtiirer calls attention to it. We no longer have dollar wheat. In fact, wheat has fallen ten cents a bushel since Mr. Ilanna began to knead his political tvoagh la pub lie, and the Ilnquirer wants to know why Mr. McKinley slwiu'.d 1 1 us st ri ke nt (he interests of the fanmrrs by permitting this slump. As Mr. McKinley was powerful enough to rnise wheat to a dollar, why does he not hold it there?
