NATIONAL LEADICO.I Chicago Branch, State and Fifteenth Street!, Chicago, Democralic-Northwest. AHLHENET COUNTY NEWS. October 15 next the silver dollar, the "Dollar of the Daddies," will be one hundred years old. On July 18, 1794. the Bank of Maryland deposit ed at the Philadelphia mint French coins to the value of $89,715 for coin age into silver dollars under the act of 1785. The first lot of these finish ed coins were delivered on October 15, 1794. There were 1,758 of them in all and they were the precursors, the waves of the vast floodtide of sil ver dollars that were poured out upon the country during the hundred years that have elapsed, until John Sher man and the money powers of the old world demonetized silver. It is hard to tell which are the more dangerous to this government, the Repuolicans or the Populists. Both are for monarchy. They only differ in the methods of reaching the end. One is trying it by building up a law favored class, through class legislation. The other proposes to do it by putting land, railroads, telegraphs, and all tlse possible, in the hands of the govern ment. No matter which wins, if it is pursued long enough monarchy must result, with a king. Young man, be ware when you are marching. Study well what government ownership or anything means, before going too far. Ask yourselves by what authority the government owns anything. If it can own any one thing, then can it not by the same right own everything? And if it owns everything what have you but a monarchy? Where do the people's rights come in? There will be no more protective tariff legislation in this country. Fu ture acts of congress affecting the tariff will be on the line of lower du ties. No future congress of either party will dare to give itself up to legislation in the special interest of a few to the expense of the great body of the people. To the Democratic party must be given the credit of re ducing tariff taxation 30 per cent on an average with the bill just going into effect. The people in time will the benefits thereof by the advantage gained in reduced prices of necessities and commodities of life, and no politi cal party thereafter will dare to go before the people advocating the high protection of the pas;. True protection to American labor can be secured only by restricting the immigration of hordes of cheap paup- er laborers who have flooded in upon us and been given the places of American workmen by the great high protection manufacturers and pro ducers. The price of labor like the price oi wheat, depends upon supply and demand. Under high protection the price of both went down, while the high tariff tax on manufactured articles of living remained the same. Once realizing the benefits of lower duties the people can never be induced to return to the higher rates under the faise theory that high protection 10 manuiacturers means high wages to labor. Free Wool. No other item of tariff tax has been so much discussed as the question of wool and wool growing. Perhaps the reason is that is largely the product of all the northern states and the discus sion of politics with farmers has large ly pertained to their own commodities, The lines of high, low and no taxation have been drawn taut on this subject. There has been no common ground of agreement. Under the skillful advo cacy of such political farmers as Dav id Harpster, Columbus Delano and William Lawrence, of Ohio, aided by the demagogical leaders of pro taction politics, the wool growers have firmly believed that sheep raising de pendg upon a high tariff tax. J either argument nor experience lucceasfully taught to the contrary. In spite ot the disasterous fact that the price ot wool steadily declined under protec tive tariff from one dollar a pound in 1863 to ten cents a pound in 1894, the farmers have been urged to de fend protection as the true salvation of wool growing. The Democrat have advocated free wool in the interest of both farmer and manufacturer, but until now have argued in vain. At no time since 1860 has it been possible for the Democrats lo enact a tariff law of any character. Now, one of the very best features (according to Democratic theory), of the new tariff law is the free wool schedule. By next spring the operation of the law should show nkatantl&l TARUltB UDOD the WOOlen industry. If Democratic belief is cor rect, the price of the clip will in Tf it dries advance, and if it shall remain firm with an upward ten dency, then will the greatest of Re publican protection props be knocked from under the wall of commercial non-intercourse. It will prove to the which partv has been w. 6. , their best and most consistent friend If free wool shall do what the party 11' manufacture will be Jj IIU' vu a " I stimulated and the demand for wool increased. It is well known that the United States has never furnished sufficient wool for the home mills, and in the manufacture of certain grades ef goods the mixture of foreign wools is necessary. The freer the foreign raw product the greater will be the demand for the home mixture, ana consequently prices of wool at home must advance. This may be theory now but a very short time will test tliA wisdom of the new legislation. If it shall work as successfully as Demo crats predict it will be the greatest possible tariff object lesson, and long before the next presidential campaign the farmers will be so completely con vinced of the fallacy of alleged pro tection that McKinley, Reed & Co. will have to look elsewhere than the farmers for votes to overthrow the Democratic administration. This con gress has done well in placing wool upon the free list. It has placed the party upon solid ground wiiere its principles can be exemplified and its sound position demons:rated. Toledo Record.

"The greatest trial of my life, " says a milkman, "is bottles. Yes, sir, bottles. If it wasn't for bottles, I'd want nothing better. Other people never think of bot tles. I actually dream of bottles. It's bottles, bottles, bottles who's got the bottles with me all the time! "The most perfect system of book keeping ever invented will not account for bottles.

I know some people get two or three days behind with their empties, but I couldn't account for all of these. 'While I was thinking about it and look over across toward her flat I saw her maid chuck an empty out of the kitchen winder into the lot And, don't you know, I went over there and found a whole pile of broken Dottles and two or three whole ones. They didn't know any better. Now, there wag a lady in the other day, and I says, Ma'am.-ksays I, 'I've got yon charged with five bottles here. ' " 'What's that?' says she.

A SI, OOO Ante In a Senatorial Game Was Too Rich For Bis Blood. A group of millionaires were playing what was probably the stiffest game of poker ever played in the United States. It was at Chamberlin's, in Washing ton, in the winter of 1889 and 1890, The exact list of the players will never be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col orado and ex-Governor Hauser of Mon tana were in it and Senator Farwell of Chicago was in the room. About midnight a swell drummer for a Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card to Senator Farwell. The senator went down to see him and brought him up to the room where the game was going on. He introduced him to the other players. "Have you any objection to my play ing?" asked the drummer. "Well," said Senator Wolcott, " have no objection, but er well, you see, the game is pretty steep. " "Ha, ha!" laughed the drummer. "That is the kind of a game I like." Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that if he could stand it the rest of the crowd had no objection. With a wink at Senator Farwell, the drummer sat down, pulled out a "wad," peeled off a $1,000 bill and said to Governor Hau ser, who was dealing: "Give me some chips I" Then he looked around the table, as much as to say: "No flies on me, eh?" "Give the gentleman one white chip," said Senator Wolcott Govern' or Hauser passed over the chip without a smile and remarked: "Jack pot for $5,000. Put up your money." The drummer sat aghast for an in. stant; then he picked up his money and said: "Too rich for my blood!" It is currently reported that one man won over $100,000 that night Chicago Times. Blnaoo Grades. The four grades of society among the Hindoos are the Brahman s, or sacerdotal class, who are said at the moment of creation to have issued from the mouth of. Brahma; the Kshatrya, or Ghuttsee, or military class, sprung from the arm of Brahma; the Vaisya, or Bais, or mercantile class, from the thigh of Brahma, and Sudras, or Sooders, or serv ile class, from the foot of Brahma. The business of the Sudras is to serve the three superior classes, more espe cially the Brahmans. Their condition is never to be improved; they are not to accumulate property and are unable by any means to approach the dignity of the higher classes. These divisions are hereditary, impassable and indefeasible. Brooklyn laule. FLOUNDER STRIKING. A SPORT OF THE NEGROES OF THE SOUTHERN COAST. It Pontes a Whit Han, bat the Darky Caa Bit a Floaadcr V.'llh Uia Spear Winn Im Weald See Only Bad Tha Expert rteheraaaa Never Kiwi Ble Flea. Did you ever "strike" a flounder? Probably not unless you have lived or passed some time on the coast of the southern states. One lovely August evening, just be fore sunset, asl stood on the back porch of our summer home on the coast of South Carolina, I noticed that our boy Bob, a great big black cheerful looking fellow about 19 years old, as lazy ras cal and as big a thief as his whole raoe could produce, seamed to be very busy over boat at the little wharf only short distance from the house, and as I stood there watching him the mystery was explained. Noticing that I was watching him with a good deal of interest, he came up to the steps, and removing the tat tered rim of what was once a felt hat said: "Boss man, I'ze goin 'strikin florin- der tonight. Like to go 'long? It's easy 'nuff, " he said. "Jest put on ole close that don't matter 'bout wettin, and I'll call for you after supper." After having finished supper and en joyed a cigar and a stroll on the beach, watching the bathers in the surf and spying a distant sail on the horizon, I proceeded to drees for the occasion. Tak ing Bob's advice, I selected an old pair of baseball shoes, an ancient pair of cadet trousers that had stood the test of many a dress parade a relio o." my "rat" year a cap of the same descrip tion and a flannel shirt and a heavy coat, for it was cool on the water after sunset, even in midsummer, not forget ting to take a good supply of tobacco and a pipe to keep off the gnats and sand flies and a plug of chewing tobao oo for my companion. Negroes always claim to be out when a white man is around. I joined Bob at the back door, and we made our way down to the landing. Here we found a large flat bottomed scow, on one side or wmcn was nxea an old grate, in which a fire was burning fiercely, while at the other end was a huge pile of dry oak, with plenty of fat pine for kindling. Standing in the boat was a colored boy or about the same size and blackness of my attendant, whom Bob designated to mo as "my mammy's sister Sally's boy Rufe. " Greeting the grinning Bufus, who re plied by scraping the bottom of the boat with one foot, while he touched where his hat would have been had he worn any, for no such article encumbered his woolly crown, we all made ourselves comfortable, Bob standing at the bow, Bufus at the stern, with a pole, while I was invited to take the middle seat near the fire and requested to keep the boat clear of water, which as soon as we be Kan our journey rushed through the many crevices with astonishing rapid ity. The night was very dark, hut lighted by our fire we began to follow the shore, and our flat bottom enabled us to keep in very close. And now came to me what was the strangest part of the pro ceeding. Bob, standing, as I have said, in the bow, armed with a striking pole, which is simply a heavy rod about feet long, with a two pronged fork at one end, kept his eyes fixed on the wa ter, which was brightly lit up for sev eral feet in front of the boat, while he held the pole raised in his right hand. All at once, and without a word, he suddenly thrust the pole into the water in front of him, and with a chuckle of triumph dashed the pole into the bot torn of the boat, and struggling and splashing around was a dark flat objeot about a foot long, with two great gap ing wounds made by the prongs of the fork. The flounder was exactly the col or of the bottom of the water and very flat, and how on earth anybody, even a hungry negro, could distinguish it with the boat going at a pretty rapid rate was something I could not make out and have never been able to fathom. To be sure, the water was quite shal low, ranging In depth from 1 to 2 feet; and the light from the fire was very bright, but when you take into consideration the fact that the soil was almost block and very muddy and soft, and that the fish almost bury them selves therein, it will be seen that it re quires no small amount of skill and quickness to detect the flounder with the boat being rapidly poled along. And I never saw Bob miss. It would be natural to suppose that the "striker' would occasionally mistake some object for a flounder in waters that teemed with all kinds of fish, or that sometimes be would fail to secure the fish, even if he struck correctly, for it is a known fact that "the biggest fish I ever caught was the one that got away;" but, no, never knew Bob or any of the other many negroes whom I afterward saw out "striking" to be guilty of failure. Sometimes the flounder would be pierced by only one prong instead of two, and sometimes the wound would be very near the side of the fish, but secure him they always did. That night we were out about two hours and secured eight of as fine floun ders as I ever saw, ranging in size from 10 to 15 inches, three of which fur nished a very fine breakfast dish the next morning.

Cot It TJ p. The manner in which slate is mined and cut up for purposes to which it is applied is a process that is known to only a few people in this country, its principal sources being in upper New England and eastern Pennsylvania. It is not taken out of shafts, but it is quar ried out of big holes in the earth. Some time ago, when the writer was at Ban gor, Pa., he was invited to go down into one of these quarries, about 200 feet deep and overhand on a rope, but he declined the invitation, as I think most inexperienced persons would da The slate is blasted out in huge blocks and is hoisted out by steam and turned over to the men who know how to re duce it to the proper siza Huge blocks it are taken in hand by these work men, who cut a notch into one end of each piece. Then they take a chisel and mallet, and they are so skillful in di recting their blows that they can split the blocks of slate in almost any way they please. If you watch the slab on which one of them is working, you will see a little hair line running through it, and presently the block will fall apart on either side of this mark. The work men will make this line go straight through the middle, or to either corner just as he likes, I do not know just how he . does it, but he invariably accom plishes what he sets out to da The smaller pieces thus produced are taken in hand by another set of men, who split them up into sheets of the proper thickness for roofing slate. This they do with a long bladed instrument about the shape of a putty knife, but many times larger, and if yon saw them do it you would marvel how they got the sheets only one inch thick and split it 82 times. The usual number of divisions is 16. These sheets are taken and cut into squares by machinery. Wherever there are slate quarries you will find a great many Welshmen, for the best slaters come from Wales. Boys follow the trade of their fathers, and there are whole families and settlements who know no other means of earning a living. New York Advertiser. The Loon as a Dodger. There is no denying that all the loons ever hatched up to date have been 'artful dodgers" in superlative degree. The question is often raised whether they are quick enough to dodge a bullet. I once had a guide who drew a distinc tion quite too fine, as I thought He claimed that a loon could see the flash of a percussion cap at the breech of a muz zle loading piece and could dodge, but admitted that, with the rifle loaded like all modern ones, at the breech, no loon could escape a shot rightly aimed. For my part, I do not believe the interval of time between the fire at the two ends of the barrel to be measurable by eyes of birds or men or anything short of a chronograph. As to the Question, however, it is possible to reason with tolerable confi dence. We know the speed of a rifle bullet Call it 1,400 feet a second. Im agine your loon at that distance or nearer. Then reflect how slowly a mrd'i head must move to use up more than a second in dropping a few inches under water. Gravity alone would carry it farther than that It is easy to believe that if the wary bird happens to be look ing toward the hunter the rifle flash suggests danger. A half second would give ample time to dodge, provided the action began promptly. It is safe to say that it takes a loon's weight in lead to kill him, and we may call it settled that, if a loon does not dodge a bullet, at least the lead goes down in the same hole in the water. Boston Transcript German Tobacconist's Joke. The following "fraud upon an insur once company," which we find in The Deutsche Tabok-Zeitung, is certainly just a little too good to be true. A cun ning fellow, who wanted to smoke the best cigars at the cheapest possible cost, bought 1,000 cigars of the highest qual ity and corresponding price and imme diately insured the whole stock When he had smoked the last of them, he de manded 7S0 marks from the insurance company on the ground that the whole of his insured stock, 10 boxes of cigars, had been consumed by fire! The Solo monic court decided in favor of the plaintiff. The company then brought an action of conspiracy against the smoker, accusing him of having inten tionally put fire to his own cigars and deliberately destroyed his property, Hereupon the same wise court con demned the insured smoker to three months' imprisonment Westminster Gazette. rri,, fniinwinir is a list oi the aatesoi founding of the oldest colleges in the United States: Harvard, 1636; William and Mary, 1692; Yale, 1700; Princeton, 1746; University of Pensylvania, 1749; Columbia, 1754; Brown university, 1764; Dartmouth, 1769; Rutgers, 1770.

"I once had an experience, " said an old newspaper man at the Press club to a reporter, "with the late senator Vance which I shall never forget It was during Crisp's first oontest for the speak ership, and, as you all probably remem ber, every newspaper man in town was hustling for inside news. The sources of this, as usual in such cases, were very few. and Senator Vance, who was act ing in the capacity of an advisor to the nominating caucus, had to spend most of his time dodging journalists. "So wary did he become that he dis continued taking his lunch in the senate restaurant ar$ had it served in a com mittee room. One day, however, I caught a glimpse of him passing through one of the lower corridors on the house side.

He answer ed all my questions in the kindest manner possible and was about to leave when I saitt: " 'Oh, by the way, senator, who do you think will get the nomination?' " 'I don't know exactly, ' he replied, 'but they will have to fight if they want to win.

I asked, al most in a whiBper for fear some one would be lurking in the dark recesses and hear the reply which was to make me the most noted hustler for news in the ranks of journalism.
