It is estimated that the force bill, if ii becomes a law. will cost the American people the enormous fan cf 935,000.000 at every congressional election or near ly $50,000 for every day in the year. Sun days included. But the expense of the wicked scheme is the smallest objection to it Indianapolis Sentinel: The circula tion of republican falsehoods regarding Mr. Cleveland's pension vetoes has done some good at last. It has caused many old soldiers to investigate the subject, which investigation has demonstrated that Mr. Cleveland's vetoes, far from be ing hostile to the old soldier, were in his interest. One of the latest to discover this fact is Judsje John P. Rea, formerly commander-in-chief r f the Grand Army of the Republic. The result of his study is to convince him that Cleveland was the best friend the old soldier bad in the presidential chair, and on this ground Judge Rea will vote for Cleveland for president. A Specimen of Republic-tin Consistency, Our people are already suffering from low prices, and will not be satisfied witb legislation which will result in lower prices. Prom McKinley' report intro ducmg his tariff bill. 189J We assert that the prices of manvfic tured articles of general consumption have been reduced under the operations of the tariff act of 1890. Minneapolis Platform, 1892. Jaded with Pleasure. Two American young men on tbelr way lo China met in a hotel in San Francisco a missionary just returned from that coun try. The clergyman began eagerly to tell them of the art and architecture, and Strange customs and beliefs which they Would find there to interest them. They listened with polite Indifference. One of them said at last: "To tell you the truth, we are not inter ested in any of those things. We are going mainly to witness a Chinese execution. We have heard that as many as thirty men are often beheaded in a day, and we mean to aee the sight." "Surely you do not mean it?" The young men almost chuckled at the look of horror and disgust which the mis sionary turned on them. "Why, my dear man, it is the horror that we want," one said. "The exhibition Will be startling of course a thousand times more so than a dozen tragedies on the .stage! Think of the sensation!" They were not quizzing their listener. They went to China, where perhaps they saw executions and experienced the sensa tions they sought. It may be supposed that they were by nature or by training and association cruel and brutal in their tastes. No, that was not the explanation of their craving for a Bloody spectacle. Their fathers were men of wealth, who had allowed the sons to grow up In Idle ness ana without an aim in life. Thevouns men had well nigh exhausted the power of money to supply them with a new sensa tion, and were ready to go to the ends of the earth and to indulge the most brutal tendencies of their nature to obtain the gratification.

BLACK. Tricks of the Fahyaha. The Fahyahs have a trick which is per formed in this manner: They take a small cup, put it on the ground all feats are performed in the open air and place it in a Small bulb, which is then covered with and. Taking a small fan from their waist, and standing about two feet away, they fan a rosebush from the cup at least 2 feet high, bearing quite a number of roses, one of which they will give for a piece of sil ver. The flower withers away into ether in twenty minutes. I have seen a peach, a pear and a plum tree prow from seed, bear fruit and wither away again in five hours. I have seen these Fahyahs throw themselves upon broken glass held in a large box that it would be impossible for any one else to touch with out receiving a wound, and never get a scratch.
