NCE upon a where in Some body's garden there grew a Morning Glory vine. Nobody knew how it came there, for 110 one had planted it, but it was a pretty little thing, with green hearts for leaves and cunning little palegreen curls here and there upon its fuzzy stem., s-r- She wanted to get off of th^|r%und •where she had been all her short life, so shercrept slowly along to find some thing to take hold of that she might •climb high up into the bright sunlight. She put out her tender tendrils and felt carefully along, for she was blind poor little thing, and could not. see where she was going. As she reached out she felt some thing hard. "Ah, perhaps this is something high," thought Morning Glory, so she crawled up the side quite to the top but she was not high at all—not much higher than on the ground—for it was only a sfcone eh at she had found so she quietly crept down the other side, and lay there quite discouraged. There was an old man who used to take care of Somebody's garden, and he saw this plant growing there and groping about for a support, so he fastened a string from a peg stuck into the ground up to Somebody's window sill, and then he quite forgot all about it. The next morning the Morning Glory felt more cheerful, and 6he started upon her search again. She had not I far to go this time, because the kind old man had fastened the peg very near to where she lay so she reached about with caution to avoid another stone, and took hold of.the string. The poor, sightless little thing did not know that the old man had put it there for her, but somehow she felt that it would lead her where she wished to go—up toward the beautiful sky and the great golden sun. So she climbed along the string, slowly at first, then faster each day as she began to know the way, until like Jack's beanstalk, she had 1 reached the window-sill. Now, somebody, the person who owned the garden, was ill so ill that he had to stay always in his room with an ugly .black bandage over'his eyes, and the doctors feared that he might never see a^ain. He was very unhappy, and was often—oh, so very!—cross and the ser vants quite feared him when he spoke to them in a harsh and authoritative voice. He had no relatives, and he lived quite alone in his great house, with many people to wait upon him and with, ever so much money to buy things to make him happy. But the things that one bu3rs do not always make one happy, and he was terribly wretched in his big, fine house. One morning he groped his way to the open window and put his hand out upon the side of the frame, and he felt a little sharp nail. Now, if he had been gentle the nail would not have hurt him, for it was a harmless little |thing but he made a rough, impatient movement, and it caught his finger and brused it a little. This made Somebody very angry, and he said some very unpleasant things about the person who dared to put a. nail outside his window, and he felt about, very cautiously this time, to find the nail once more, that he might tear it out. So he moved his hand slowly along lUpon the sill, and the Morning Glory was reaching her little hand about there at the same time, and their two •hands met. One did not.look at all like a hand, but it was one just the same, and the little green hand grasped the great white.one and fchay seemed to know and to understand«each other at once, for the little green hand said to the large white one very tenderly, "Oh! so you ane'blind, too! 'Lam so sorry!" The great hand, did oiot try to find the nail .after that. ,it flwst touched the .MorningijSloKy with &>saft caress and ttwo great .dropsiell upoo her leaves. '. 'They felt strangely a,rad.net at all like *&<» cool xam. drops which .sometimes •watered the Morning.Glory, Andsome •thfcig cold &ar that these diBop3 were •teans. ,. Now, after tlasa, these two-^Some body and the in in Glory--grew to love each other yery dearly, and .each $"-" day they would feel About for one an -|$\ other, m& the da.i»fcy Morning 3kry s-'g*'would uesfcle agaia«fc his jbearied cheek, gand Somebody would pet her J^fi' /Jbd^trotae her leaves v«ry gently, little j^eiii' plant helped.

She had kept it a secret all the while, and now she proudly put a great beauti ful pink blossom into his hand. He could not see thWt' it^Aa^ink, but. he felt that it was lovely, and he kissed' the pretty flower' and. murmured, "You little beauty," janS-' that made the Morning Gl.ory very happy, for all .mothers dearly lojrev.to have their babies'aflmiredj' y"m know.'- And the next morning Somebody had a surprise for the Morning Glory. That was a secret too/' No one knew it yet but the doctor, and Somebody drew*the little Morning Glory close to his lips and whispered it into her ear. Then the little green ,hand twined about the great white one and this is what it said: V.I am .so glad that you are not going to be blind any more." And Somebody understood it, and the' Morning Glory again felt two grea't warm drOpV which shd knjjw to be tears, but they were not bitter, like the first ones they were very sweet, because they ..were Jears of i°y *'. 7~ .- .s After this Somebody went away and was gone a long time. The weeks passed' and he did not return, and the little Morning Glory was very sad she felthurt at .he had left her so sud denly and with no word of adieu. Everything -Was in a state of great bustle and preparation all over the place. Little Morning Glory could hear-'them hammering, and running about, and she felt that something was going to happen. Ohceshecaught the word "bride," and something told her what it all meant, and a little jealous pain went' through her heart, for she had once overheard the house maid telling the cook that all men were fickle, and that when they were away-irona -one they never thought of one at all, and were taken up with whoever was nearest them, and the cook had agreed fully with all that the housemaid had said, and the cook knew men if any one did, she said. So little Morning Glory hung her leaves in sadness and quite forgot to feel proud of her pretty pink babies— for there were a great many of them now. Once she felt something tug at her roots and a rough hand grasped her then a kind voice said: "Don't touch that master loved the little vine, and it must be left as it is." Oh! how re lieved little Morning Glory felt at these words. She reached out and tried to touch the speaker, but the maid hur ried away and never saw the little green hands at aM. Soon the nights began to be chilly, and one by one her babies left her and fluttered to the ground, and she her self grew pale and felt very weak and ill, and she feared that she was going to die. Ho she wished that Some body "would come back she feared he would be too late. One morning she heard, the door open and Somebody again, stood there there was some one with him. now, a beautiful lady, and he held her in his arms and called her "Sweet heart." In his new happiness he had quite forgotten his little friend and Morning Glory's heart ached as she remembered- what the maid had told the cook. Just then Somebody looked out and saw poor little Morning Glory with her leaves all faded Jand brown, and he reproached himself because he had not thought of her before. "Here, dearest," he said to the lady, "this is the little.friend that I told you of," and lie laid the withered little stem in the lady's delicate hand. A glad thrill ran through the Morn ing Glory and she dropped 60 tiny seeds into the soft open palm then as the wind swept around the corner a sudden shudder seized her, and little Morning Glory was dead. "See! my pet," said Somebody, pointing to thelittleblack seeds, "that means good luck it is her gift to l!he bride." And'the beautiful lady smiled, and she put the seeds in a little box, say ing, "Next year we will have another Morning Glory vine there just like the old one." "No," said Somebody, "never one quite like that, for that one was like a lit tie friend it really seemed to un derstand me. But, then, I don't need any one to understand me now, for I have you," and again the lady was folded in loving embrace and Somebody ikissed her softly.—Chicago Times. NO POLES IN CHINA, W*iy Telegraph Wires In the Flowery Kingdom Go Underground. There are no telegraph poles in Chna. No because there are no telegraph lines, nor yet because there are not wood suitable for poles. Strangely enough, says the St. Louis Glofse Democrat, the reason is purely religious. The Chinese worship their dead fathers and grandfathers, and in regard the resting place of their remain* as so sacred that Ijhey deem it a sacrifice to allow a shadow to be cast upon their graves. T{ When the {linemen of the Chinese telegraph companies 'began operations they -were greatly embar rassed in their ^operations by crowds of inhabitants who followed them about and witto the most 'frightful blasphemies, cut down the.poies as fast as they were ereeted. 'For some time no explanation coiaild be obtained, but at last the working parties .dis covered that in.more (thickly settled districts of the Celestial Empire graveB were everywhere to be found, and scarcely a pole could be erected any wrhere bat that a,t some time of the •day it cast a shadow 0 0 a grave. first Th difficulty was insuperable, and the Chinese government, anxious as it WAS to render assistance,, stood powerless.

Democratic House has failed in all, other respects, the most signal failure has been in the matter of economy. All the circum stances conspire to make that failure conspicuous." The abuse which was poured" upon..the.last Congress comes back with added force on this, and the time has now come to dojus tice to one of the most really econom ical statesmen we ever had, the Hon Joseph G. Cannon.. His conduct as chairman of Appropriations in the Fifty-first Congress was worthy of all praise. was careful, economical, upright and just, and \ha always deserved well of his country. People do not realize the tremendous pres sure there was on the Fiftyr first Congress, andt how very hand somely Mr. Cannon stood up against it," and how well he was backed by his associates. You must remem ber that the Democracy, as part of their scheme to pile up a furplus and break down the tariff, had refused to pay even the honest debts of. the Government. The result was the ac cumulation of a great surplus revenue and an overflowing Treasury. The. natural result of-such an accumula tion is alwaysthe same, It engenders proposals to send it. It is the tend ency of piled up money to scatter. The rivers and harbors at once de manded more. Public buildings called for thousands here and thousands there. The so'diers were not recon ciled to be left out of the distribution. New projects sprang up on either hand. Notwithstanding all this pres sure the Congress of 189 0 provided for the expenditure of onlv $463, 000,000. Thisfe sum seemed at the time immense, and there is perhaps little wonder that great feel ing was exhibited and great astonishment expressed. But it is now plainly visible to all men that this sum, large as it was, was but the adequate expr ssion of the honest ex penditures of a great Government, which has grown every year beyond even the wildest hopes of its people. In the present session of Congress Mr. Holman has had to stand up against no unusual pressure, such as Mr. Can non encountered. No one has failed to learn that the surplus has been paid out and the revenue reduce J, -so as to be only sufficient forthexurpose of goveinment honestly and econom ically admins tered. Mr, Holman and his friends even went further. They strove with some success to frighten the American peo ple with the declaration, oft-repeated by the mouths of his lieutenants, Governor Savers and Mr. Dockery, that the income was unequal to the needed expenditures. With a House elected on a platform of economy, with over 140. majority, a majority larger than the whole opposition, we naturally expected some reduction of what Democratic orators call the public burdens. I confess that I was myself astonished to find that not only were the appropriations of the first session of this Congress to exceed the appropriations of the first session of the last Congress, but they were to exceed them by the enormous sum of •$50,000,000. My surprise was very much heightened by the fact JJJthat day after day I had seen appropriations manifestly inadequate Carried through the House against all argument and fact by sheer force of number^. The present condi tion of things is an overpowering tes timony, not only to the growth of the country, but to the integrity and economy of the Committee on Appro priations, of which Mr. Cannon was .the head. The debate in the Senate of July 2 6 shows, moreover, that even the $510,000,000 appropriated have not reached the needs of the country. Mr. Allen, of Washington, shows that a lighthouse has been thrown out which should have been built, on a spot which has already cost the country the lives of many men, and Mr. Allison shows that one item at least* c\f large amount has been lessened on the demand of the House by the simple expedient of eut ing off one-half, with the understand ing that it shall, go on next year's deficiency bill. I want to call your readers' attention to this simple fact, even at the expense of reiteration and of be.:ng tiresome. We expended $462,000,000 the first session of the Fifty first Congress. We were abused most roundly therefor. The lowest figures any Democrat cnn now make for his Congress is $510,000,000. These figures are undisputed. The moral is indisputable, ^m-% »s NO FREE TRADE FOR THEM. Wholesome Effects of the (Vic Kin ley Tariff Act Upon tine Hat Industry. One1 of the Jeadiaag industries, of Newark aud the Oranges is the manu facture of soft felt hats.

Books,' papers and magazines are to be found in the houses of almost all of them. Their wives are well dressed and' their child ren are sent to good schools. The majority ofthese men are Republicans, and can give a-goo reason fo:tf being so*. They say that in addition to the driving out of foreign competition, the McKinley tariff bill, by its increased duties oh articles used in the manu facture of hats has caused the estab lishment of new industries' in this country, and thus a larger .number of people have received employment, and the communities in which they live have been benefitted^ as these employes spend their money where they get their wages. Then, too they say tbat the manufacture of these articles in the United States has cheapened the cost of makimg hats, and the same grade of head gear can be bought to-day much more cheaply than it could have been three years ago.— New York Tribune.

There could be no more striking il lustration of the tolly of irresponsible Democrats in the Fifty-second House than is afforded by Mr Holman's at tempt to defend the record of the majority in the matter of appropria tions. make a showing of reduction and retrenchment in the total for the ses sion, Mr. Holman is obliged to com pare that total with the figures for the second session of the Billion Con gress, instead of the figures for the first session, where the comparison properly belongs. What the Fifty second Congress Avill do at its second session no human being can foretell. A material reduction from the total of its first session is rather the sub ject af hope than of prediction. But it remains true, everything being con sidered, that the record of the Democratic House in the matter of appropriations is a be trayal of the voters who elected it on the issue of economy, a repudiation of its own professions and promises, and a shame and disgrace to the party. Already the attempt has gun to explain and excuse and extenuate the failure of the overwhelmingly Demo cratic majority in the present House to fulfill its mission. This course is regarded as good campaign pol icy. We do not think so. We believe that it is good campaign policy to state the tacts exactly as they are, to hold Democratic sinners to their full measure ofresponsibility, and to se cure, if possible, a Democratic major ity in the Fifty-third House which will not imitate the reckless, selfish, and almost criminal extravagance of the money-scatterers of the Fiftyrsec* ond.—N. Y. Sun, Dem. Protection and he Farmer. "It seems me self-evident that protection tends to shorten the dis tance between the farmer and the ar tesan and manufacturer, hence to di minish the cost of exchanging their respective products, and thus to se cure to the farmer not only surer and steadier markets for his produce, but an ampler recompense for his labors. Such are the conclusions that long aero made ,m a protectionist. Distant markets are all but inevitably incon sistent, uncertain- markets. Europe has de/Scient harvests one year and buys grain of us quite freely/but next year-hrr harvests are bounteous and she l-equires very little more food than she produce 3 no matter how freely we may be buying of her fabrics. Hence our wheat now se'ls very farbelowthe price which ruled here when Europe had a meager harvest. A remote mar ket virtually restricts the farmer to two or three great staples, while near markets enable him to diversify his products and thus maintain and in crease the productive capacity of the soil."—Hor-ace Greely.
