Brother Loucks has kept "mookey ing" with the Pioneer Press on the money question until finally it has chewed him all up and spit him out.

It eveu admits that he may nominated by acclamation, so promis ing is the outlook ii thinks.

He will bring them strength in the campaign and faithful service in office. Heresy trial* of another kind than the ordinary religious casee are about to become the rage. Prof. Richard T. Ely of the University of Wisconsin, is nnder charges before the state board of re gents for teaching socialistic ideas in his class work and it iB not unlikely that Prof Herroo of the Iowa university may have to answer similar charges for his anarchistic utterances in his Lincoln Neb., address. Prof. Ely, of Wisconsin, however, took occasion in a recent ad dress at the Mother Chautauqua in New York to make a personal reference to these charge* in which he stoutly de nied each and every one in each and every particular, defying the author State Superintendent Wells, to prove one statement he had made. As to his views, he had nothing to retract. The assertion that he favored strikes and boyoots is false and malignant. He re peatedly pointed out the disastrous nature of railway strikes in particular. As to trades unions, be held and still1 W, M*" S '.v" It1 N 7 v V- A .. fcv 4'JXl Mjkt' Sfc, holds that their province must be a lim ited one. But wh he a socialist? Oil theooalrary, he thought agriculture of fered insuperable obatablee to its pro posed organization of industry, and maintains that even could socialism be organized and put in operation it would stop i rogress and overthrow civilization. As to anarchy, the propaganda was a dire national calamity against which all right-minded people should work with all the resources at their command. Plague, pestilence and famine oom bined were mild evils compared with wide spread anarchy. Obedience to the laws and constituted authorities of the land our only hope of progress. The Argus Leader falls into a dofefSl whine over the passage of the demo cratic protective tariff measure at the command of the trusts and in its dis comfiture emits a wail that but for its disgusting falsehoods might draw it the commiseration of deeent people. But when an organ in its attempt to tear down a better political system than its own is let down into the slongh of its own foulness and in its cry for pity tries by sneaking innuendo and falsehood to pull down its opponents to the saoce level, it is deserving only the contempt of mankind. It says, "the bill is better than the McKinley law. It reduces the average tax from 50 per cent to 38 per cent. A large number of the necessaries of life have been placed cn the free list and on most of the others a very heavy reduction has been made. Even the bounty to the sugar trust has been re duced from the half cent a pound allowed by McKinley to one eighth. "It then goes on to tell how the democrats— the leaders of its own party—have sold out to the sugar trust, the iron trust and the coal trust, in the passing of this law. And then, as if it would condone the pertidy of its own party, it seeks to smear the republican party with the following libel: "The republicans have never dented their allegiance to trusts and capitalistic agression. But the democrats have promised adequate rem edies and it was upon these promisee that they won power." It is a prominent characteristic of small natures that they always try to make out others as bad as themselves and the Argus-Leader makes a shining example of itself in this respect. When the republican party put sugar on the free list of importa tions and encouraged home productions with a small bounty, it saved the con sumers of this country $50,000,000 dollars and the Argus-Leader calls this selling ont to the trust while the democratic party puts on a tariff af 45 per cent and a differential of cent a pound. Was the Argus-Leader giving facts or fase hoods in its statement? Because the average republican tariff was 50 per cent as the A.-L claims, which it was not and the new average as it says is 38 per cent., which it is not, but more, and that "a large number of the necessaries of life have been placed on the free list," does not prove by any means that the new trust bill is belter than the Mc Kinley bill. Far from it. There are more articles of prime necessity on the free list under the McKinley bill than under the new democratic trust bill i s is shown by the fact that the tot*1 value of articles on which tariff is levied by tLe new law is about $65,000,000 more than under the McKinley law, hence the lower average rate. It is simply a change without reduction as a whole, and the income tax had to be introduced to accomplish it. The A.-L. ought to be manly enough to oondemn the action of its party or get out of it, and not make such pitiable whioe awl craw** fdnse. WITH HIS WHIP. He Flicked ths Qua From the Stags Ksh- ber*« HaBdL "Thero la quito a difference between staging in the early days of the state and now,"said William Miller, the ovviiur of the stage line miming from Caat.dero to Ukiah. "When 1 camo here from Boston in 1854, I drifted about a bit and finally went into the service of Charlea Mc Laughlin, the man who was afterward killed by Jerome Cox. He was the owner of the longest stage line in Cali foruia at that time. It ran with relays from San Jose to Lcs Angeles. "1 rtmeintvr once in a lonely coast racgc canyon, through which the road wound, we had a little experience that r:.i thrilling for the moment. It was about ID o'clock and a moonlight night. I v,\irf ju.it putting the horses through. The stage was full of passengers, and there was a heavy treasure box "Just as I got aronnd a bend in the road I saw a figuro of a man on horse back standing by the t*ide of the road. He yelled to stop, and I saw a gnu bar rel (fleam in the moonlight. The horses were going at a speed that might be called brcakneck, and I just made up my iniod to take the ehanr«- getting through.

Probably not unless you have lived or passed some tinMKHi the coast .of the WMthero states. One lovely August evening, just be fore sunset, as I stood on the bMk 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 a ras cal and as big a thief as his whole race could produce, seemed to be very busy over a boat at the little wharf only a short distance from the hoasQ, and as I stood there watching Him tijfumyvtery 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 vAiat was jnae aleit hat said "Bass man, I'ze goin *strIMn* floun der tonight Like to go 'long? It's easy 'nuff,'' he said. "Jest put on ole close that don't matter 'bout wettin, apd 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 horison, I proceeded to drew 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 relic of 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 tobac co 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 of which was fixed an old grate, in which a fire was burning fiercely, while at the other end was huge pile of dry oak, with plenty of fat pine for kindling. Standing in the boat was a colored boy of about the same size and blackness of my attendant, whom Bob designated to m© as "my mammy's sister Sally's boy Rufe." Greeting the grinning Bufua, 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, Bufua at the stem, 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 gan our journey rushed through the many crevices with astonishing rapid ity. The night was very dark, but lighted by our fire we began to follow the slicon, and our flat bottom enabled ns to lte©p in very close. And now came to me what was the strangest part of the pro ceeding. Boh, standing, as I have said, in the bow. armed with a striking pile, which is simply a heavy rod aUmt 8 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 band. Ail at once, and without a word, be suddenly thrust the pole into the water in front of him, and with a chuckle of triumph dashed the pole into the bot tom of the boat, and struggling and splashing around was a dark flat object about a foot long, with two great gap ing W'ounds made by the prongs of the fork. The flounder was exactly the col or of the bottom of the water ami 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 mt and have never been able to fathom. To be sure, the water was quite shal low, ranging in depth from 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 black 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'* won Id occasionally mistake mmu object for a ftosHHler in waters that turned with all kinds of fish, or thatsoi u.'ttmes he would fail to secure the fish, wen if he htruck correctly, for it is a known fact that "the biggest fish I ever caught was the one that got away bur, uo, I never knew Bob or any of the otter many negroes whom I afterward saw out "striking" to be guilty of failure. Sometimes the flounder would bt i»rroed by only one prong in»te.»d of two, and sometimes the wound would be very near the side of the hash, but secure him they always did. That night we were oat about two hour# and secured eight of as fine floun ders as I ever saw, ranging in size from 10 t© 15 inches, tbre* of which fur nished a very fine breakfast dish the next morning.—Philadelphia Times.

Yet at the age of 72 he started for Italy with but a single companion to prepare for a new edition ol his "Roman History," near did he die. till he had attained the age of 93. Another "character" is Dr. Alexan der Adam, rector of the high school and author of a work on Roman antiquities and a man of extraordinary industry. When at college, he lived on oatmeal and small beans, with an occasional penny loaf, in a lodging which cost him four-pence a week. In later life he de voted himself absolutely to the work of teaching. In addition to his classes in the high school he appears to have had for his private pupils some of the most eminent Scotchmen of his day. Rev. Sir Henry Well wood Moncreiff, a member of a Scottish family distin guished during several generations in connection both with church and state, appears to have given wonderful Sun day BUppera. "This most admirable and somewhat old fashioned gentleman waa me of those who always dined between sermons, probably without touching wine. He then walked back from his small house in the east end of Queen street to his church, with his bands, his little cocked hat, his tall cane and his cardinal air preached, if it was' his turn, a sensible, practical sermon, walked home in the same style, took tea about 5, spent some hours in his study, at 9 had family prayers, at which he was delighted to see the friends of his sons, after which the whole party sat down to roasted hares, goblets of wine and his powerful talk."

While wandering about this in teresting hamlet he chanced to come upon a little tavern, Mid being athirat entered the taproons for beer. Be it here known that the traveler was considera bly above the average in stature, and this was noticed by two old habitues sitting by the fire. One of these pres ently remarked to his companion, "Mike, that gintleinan is taller than Jerry Murphy, Oi think." "Ah, now," replied the other through the 2 inch stem of a T. D., "he's not"—with a rising reflection on the end of the sen tence. "Yis, he Is," retorted the first, with conviction. "Can't Oi see Jerry's mark there on the dure?" The traveler's attention was then called to a doorpost whereon was mark ed the stature of four men, all over 6 feet 4 inches in height The tallest was Jerry Murphy, and his mark was ft feet inches. Accepting this challenge, the traveler stepped up to the doorpost and had his height marked, and, lo! it was a full half inch above that of Jerry. When he bad written his name over his mark, far he noticed that the others were so designated, and that they were all Murphy*, someone present called oat, "He's a Mmphy too!" But one of the old fellows by the fire would not have it so and replied: "Ind&de he's not. He hasn't got the ton Transcript. EnuacUag Caat Imnu ft ia noted as a somewhat singular fact that there are not more than two processes for enameling cast iron, not withstanding the amount of ingenious effort put forth in this direction. One of these is the hot process, in which the iron, heated to a vivid red, is powdered with a flux powder, borosilieate of load distributed with a sieve, then heated, and when the flux fuses it is powdered afresh with glass more soluble, forming the glazy of the enamel, but this opera tion is attended with danger and is not adapted to large articles or for decora tion. The second process, which meets the objections named, consists in dress ing or coating the article first with mag netic oxide, then dipping it in borosili cates of lead, colored by metallic oxides, to which is added a little pipe clay, in order to give rather more body. The article thus covered cold, by dipping or with brushes, is put into the furnace, the eniunel adhering and vitrify r«g at the usual furnace t. rature used by enamelera, and by putting a coating of colored enamel with t» Limb on a first coat simply plain it is possible to make any decorations desired, which may be i.arnt in at one operation for outdoor rases, eta—-New York San.

It, how ever, really did strike, and its Boundless ness was, says The Daily News, due to a pious little conspiracy, of which certain music lovers who shall be nameless may perhaps not unreasonably be inspected. Bach's "Fasaion," according to St. Mat thew, was being performed in the cathe dral before an enormous congregation, and, as everybody who attends such cere monials is aware, a church clock has the awkward habit of striking at very incon venient moments, often entirely spoiling the effect of quiet passages. So certain young men mounted the bell tower and took the liberty of tying a kneeling cash ion to the bell hammer, which thus fell without noise. Immediately after 8 o'clock the cushion was brought down again, and the clock struck i# as usual.—Pall Mail Budget.
