Prof. Walker then referred to tho fait that the farmers are coming to-gether for the purpose of acquiring what justly belongs to them education equal to tho best, aud a fair sharo of tlie prolits of American industry. Prof. Walker should have also added a fair sharo of political honor aud trust. That the farmers propose to tako more active part in politics, and thus secure through the ballot box their just demands, is evident to anyone who is closely watch-ing the course of events hi the great agricultural slates. The Farmers' Al-liance is daily growing stronger in numbers and influence, and is uniting here and there in a political way with the Knights of Labor. But, as Prof. Walker says, they demand leaders. Such leaders should be shrewd, intelli-gent, active, honest aud influential men. It would, indeed, pay tho farmers to employ as special pleaders in their campaigns such men as Colonel Robert G. Iugersoll, in addition to such able men as they can find among their own ranks. A few talkers like Iugersoll in a campaign would work wonders, ami it is only through politics and consequently the ballot-bo- x that the American farmers will be enabled to eventually remedy many of tho evils and burdens under which they arc now suffering.

On the (steamer Belgic, which sailed from San Francisco on Jan. 14, 1890, for Hong Kong, was a paralyzed, decrepit and --emaciated man whose name is Chaskel Halevy. Ho is a native of Bag-dad, Persia, and is about 52. years old, but, through illness, privation and ill usage, he might pass anywhere for TO. He knows only the Persian Hebrew lan-guage. In his wsllet he had $40 of Amer-ican money and steerage passage ticket to Hong Kong. In his inner pocket were letters signed by Rabbi Aaron Messing, of the congregation Beth Israel, of San Francisco, addressed openly to all be-nevolent Hebrews between San Fran-cisco and Persian lands, and vouchsafing the bearer to be a worthy object far thnrity. Halevy has a queer history. About two years ago, in Bagdad, he was stricken with paralysis, and then de-cided to go to Bombay, where lived his brother, who had amassed a fortune. He traveled on crutches, living on char-ity, bnt in Bombay he was told his broth-er had gone to Hong Kong, where he learned that he had settled in Yokohama, Thither he went, only to find his brother mined, and as pr 88 ne- - He then de-cided to return to Bagdad by way of San Francisco, where lie arrived in the middle of August. He made himself known to some kind hearted Hebrews who aided him, and were much alarm-i-when he disappeared. Rabbi Mes-sing interested himself in the case and found he had been arrested. Mis-chievous boys had stolen his crutches, leaving him helpless. When the police-man approached him Halevy, as is the custom in Persia with medieante solicit-ing charity, threw himself forward to kiss the officer's hands or feet. He seized the policeman's hand and the off-icer, thinking he intended to bite, struck him several times with his clnb. He wao sent to the almshouse and was then taken before the insanity commis-sioners and was adjudged a lunatic. At the Insane asylum his beard was shaved off, which is a severe mortification to Persian Hebrews. So much did he feel his shame that he tried to starve himself to death, and was strapped down and milk and bread was forced down his throat. Whenever any of the attendants approached him he would attempt to kiss their hands or feet, and they, as the case with the policeman, feared he was about to attack them and beat him un-mercifully. When found by Rabbi Mes-sing he was in a filthy cell in the asylum and his body was a mass of bruises and contusions. The rabbi secured his re-lease and soon secured enough money to send the poor fellow borne. Montreal Star. ARRIVALS AMI CLOSE OF MAILS.

It is seriously announced that the cm-peri-of Japan is having a state coach Iiuilt at a cost of $175,000. Tsu Kwo Yiu, the new Chinese minis-ter at Washington, is a stout man of fifty and has a wife and one son. Ho was head of a college at Pokin.

Miss Augustus Holmes, the young Irish composer, who has adopted I ranco as her home, has received a letter front Signor Crispi, Italian premier, thanking her for her "Hymn of Love," which he calls "a remarkable .work." Oscar Wilde refused an invitation to tho dinner of the Thirteen Club of Lou-don on the ground that the object of tho club to abolish the superstitution was reprehensible and "dreadful."

What are the wild waves saying? "Keep your eye on The Times. It is tiding on the wave of prosperity." Who Wrote Shakespeare? .Those interested in the now almost ob-solete discussion Donnelly vs. Shakes-peare may find a few crumbs of comfort in this: Hamlet overheard Julius Caesar tell King Lear on the Twelfth Night after the Tempest that Anthony and Claopatra had told Coriol anus that Two Gentlemen of Verona were the authors of Shakes-peare's plays. Lear said: You may take it As You Like It, but I don't believe it, for I heard Romeo and Juliet say Lovo"s Labor was Lost when Trolius and Cres-sid- a stole the Comedy of Errors and sold it to the Merchant of Venice for a cup of sack and a dish of caraways. Timon of Athens and Cymbeline were parties to the theft, and, after drinking Measure for Measure with the Merry Wives of Windsor, told King John all about it. Richard III, a competent critic, aid Bacon could not write even A Win-ter's Tale, and Henry VIII said: That settles it, so why make so Much Ado About Nothing? Othello was busy dis-cussing a point of honor with Henry IV, V and VI, and as Richard II was absent Taming the Shrew, I could get no further erridence as to who really did write Shakespeare, but All s Well That Ends Well.

THE LEAD OKK DUTY. The restoration of the duty on lead to li cents .1 pound has thrown the St. Louis Republic into a "conniption" fit. It charges that this result was secured through "a bunco operation," which was worked upon McKinley by a Colo-rado lobbyist nahied Sheedy. It ap-pears that Mr. Sheedy, according to W. C. Wynkoop's letter In his Mining In-dustry, visited tho republican members of the committee at 1 o'clock in the morning ami obtained their signatures to a request that they replace tlie duty al a cent aud a half a pound, claiming that it was a courtesy due to hiin that the item should nut have been changed in Itis absence, and that the same courtesy demanded that it should bo restored, and if striken out thereafter only by vote of the committee after he had been heard. He then went to Mr. McKinley and asked him if he would restore the duty to H cents a pound if he would obtain, a request to do so from tbo majority of the committee. Mr. McKinley replied that he would certainly do so, but that he didn't be-lieve the signatures could be obtained. Thereupon the petition, previously signed, was presented, and very soon thereafter the duty on lead was restored to H cents per pound. This is what the Republic denounces as a bunco operation, aud it lashes the lobby that worked it. That paper socms to forget that the Mexican outfit was . represented by a bold and un-scrupulous lobby, which has made all sorts of misrepresentations to get the duty on lead reduced to almost nothing. It was lobbyist against lobbyist, and then came the tug of war. The west won. It was proper that it should win, as it is the west that is interested iu this matter more than any other section of the country. , Besides the action of the committee and Mr. McKinley was in en-tire accord with the protective policy of the republican party. Although we do not believe in too much protection, we do believe that certain industries should be reasonably protected.especial-l- y where they would be ruined by free trade. Tho east has had the benefit of protection for many years, and the man-ufacturers have been made rich by it. The fact is that too much protection has been given to the east, while the inter-ests of the west have suffered from a lack of it. The duty on lead means a great deal for the mining industries of Colorado, Utah, Mexico, and elsewhere in this country. So long as protection is the policy of the republican party, we believe that the west should have its share, aud we congratulate the western lobbyists upon their victory. So long as lobbying is in vogue at Washington, tho west has a right to in-dulge in it as much as the east. It is really amusing to read The Re-public's lamentation regarding "a flour-ishing trade, built up by individual en-terprise and the energy of pushing busi-ness men" being wholly at the mercy of a Washington lobby. On the other hand, what a shout of joy that paper would have sent up had free trade or the next thing to it been permitted wit h Mexico iu lead ores, aud a death blow thus been adniiuislcred to tho lead mining industries of tho great west. What do we care for tho trade with Mexico if that trado destroys a great industry in our own country? In this samo connection the following article from tho Kansas City Globe hits the nail squarely on the bond; ' The provision of the bill tluvt is exciting so much animadversion merely prevents those smelters who use Mexican ores from selling the lead which they extract In the United States without paying duty. Any smelter cuu have all the lead ore he wishes by paying a duty of one and one-hai- r cents per pound. This gives hiin u protection of Vt cent per pouud for smelting it. Or If he pre-fers, he may, under section as, smelt and refine tho lead "without payment of dutios theroon" it he will liud a market for his leud outside of the United Stales, but if he sells It In the Uni-ted States in competition with the product of American mines lie must pay the duty. So it will lie seen that all the hard-ship to the smelter ts in his loss of profit on tho loud that he has heretofore im-ported as silver. This Is all there is to this " terrible crime of obstructing trado with Mexico "by placing duties on hev fluxing ores. The object, of course, is to give some slight protection to the lead mining industry of our own country as ugaiust the lead producers ot foreign countries, but this Is tho very fea-ture of the bill that the free trader, who al-ways looks upon matters of this kind from the English standpoint and not from the American, objects to.. "They do not desire the exportation of any product from this country the sale of which will Interfere Jrith the proats of the manufacturing and banking classes of England." The tariir en lead is in Une with the principles of the protection policy which the republican party professes to believe In, and If the members of congress and the ropnb- - ' s of Kansas cannot indorse and sustain it thoy , hud better jimt step light over into tho democratic party. The tariff is really the only question at issue between the two parties. It is a national and not a local question. If the majority of the people of the country believe that free trade will be more promotive of the general interests than protection, free trade it should be, but uo favoritism iuthe shape of protecting uu by neglecting one there rau be al-lowed. It Is simply presuiuptnon to asl; "for free raw material for the benefit of one smelter iu Kuushs while the grrat. lead in inlng Interests of Missouri. Colorado and New Mexico are ask-lu-for protection. The crops of Utah were never in tetter condition, and that there will bo a bountiful harvest there is 110 doubt. The snow is being held in the moun-tains by cold weather, and this insures nu abundance of water in midsummer when it is most needed. No better argument in favor of a high liquor license can be produced than tho fact that in Baltimore a year ago there were 8500 saloons, paying $175,000 annually, aud now, since the license has been raised, there are only 211, paying $935,000 per year. The races which begin this afternoon nud continue all week promise to be of a very interesting character, as the events have been carefully arranged and many good horses have been enter-ed. It is hoped that the meeting will have a very large attendance, as it will jrpve worthy of it. WON'T BE TO OBLIGING. Sad Fate of a Young Mud Who Lent ilis Patent Leathers. Neither 11 borrower nor a lender be, advises Hepburn Johns in the Pitts-burg Dispatch,' but if you do lend your patent leather pumps to a friend be sure well, read this veracious history : A reporter for one of the Pittsburg dailies was assigned not long ago to cover a banquet, It was an affair of some style, and the newspaper Adonis decided that he would lend a little brilliancy to the affair. So he went to a brother reporter on another paper and borrowed from him a pair of patent leather shoes. "Tlie shoes were needed to put a finishing touch upon a full dress toilet so to speak. The reporter who so kindly allowed another to usurp his patent leathers went down to the office in the evening with a pair of very muddy, broken shoes they had not recovered from a trip to the oil country. The city editor addressed him cheerily as he entered the room with: "Here's a nap for you down and take-- Id the banquet, fo an awfully toney affair, and you've got time to dress if you want to." So that reporter with meekness re-traced his steps aud donned his claw-hammer and other regallia. But he had to hide his feet under the table with awful cai'nfulness. And the ether fe-llowthe Adonis who borrowed the pat-ent leathers was thero ever such base ingratitude said after the banquet was over that he'd never worn such blanked uncomfortable shoes before! Large Reservoirs. Omitting lakes, which are In many cases natural reservoirs, the largest res-ervoir or artificial lake in the world is the great tank of Dhebar, twenty miles southeast of Udaipur city, Rajputana province, India. ' It covers an area of twenty-on- e square miles. The masonry dam is 1,000 feet long by 95 feet high; 50 feet wide at the base and 15 ut tho top. In southern India, also, there are some immense reservoirs. That of Cumbom in Cuddspath district is formed by dam-ming the Gundlakamana river by a dam 57 feet high thrown between two hills. The reservoir has an area of fifteen square miles. The Sulekere reservoir in Mysore state is very little smaller, and next to Cumbum is the finest in southern India. Compared with these artificial lakes, Loch Katrine (supplying Glasgow), four and one-ha- lf square miles, and Vyrawy reservoir (supplying Liverpool), nsarly two square miles, are insignificant in size. The Man char tank in Scindo has an area of 190 square miles, but only when fed by the waters of the river dur-ing the months of flood. Iu dry mouths it shrinks to quite a small area. New York Telegram. Interest in the Salt Lake Mining ex-change is increasing from day to day. As yet, however, there are not enough stocks listed. There are numerous companies that should put their stocks on the exchange at once. Some of them are preparing to do so, but they should he hurried up. The greater variety of htocks offered the 'oetter it will be for the exchange. The Union racifio is about to do for (Salt Lake something that should have 1cen done long ago; It proposes to give this city two through trains a day a morning and evening train and greatly reduce the running time be-tween this point and tho Missouri river. This will prove a great convenience to the traveling public, and at the same time it practically makes this city tho western terminus of the road. Other improvements are in contemplation which will be of great benclit to this city. A. Little American Gentleman. The passengers on a Pennsylvania an-nex boat enjoyed a pretty little scene the other day, in which the gallantry of a small boy of 6 or 7 would oompare with that of Mrs. Burnett's far famed little lord. He was a stvrdy built little fellow, and dressed in bis ceajacket, with Knick-erbockers and military cap, looked the pictnre ef a little gentleman. Occupy-ing the seat next to aim was a fair little maiden, perhaps 8 years old, who wished very much to see the book which the boy held in his hand. In the most gentle and courteous way he showed her the pic-tures, explaining, in childish fashion, their meaning. Not content with this, he began to tease his mamma to let him give the book to bis admiring pupil. The mother seemed pleased, but said: "Why, I thought you wanted me to buy this book so you could have it to read on the cars going home?" "So I did; but can't the little girl have it?" She finally gave her consent. His face lighted up, and the little gallant handed his beloved book to the shy maiden at his side. Great was his sur-prise and disappointment to have it re-fused in the most decided manner, and as he took the rejected book and walked off the boat he looked the picture f de-spair. He did not forget, however, to turn round at the last moment and touch his hat to his little friend, who, as she held fast to her mother's hand, said: "Dood-by- , little boy." New York Trib-- I une. Nine Tailors Make a Han. Everybody has heard of the saying that it takes nine tailors to make a man, and the general supposition is that it re-flects upon tailors in some indefinite man-ner, and no one knows where the saying originated. Now, the truth is that the saying is misquoted, and the proper word is toilers, or tellers, not tailors, as often written, and its origin can be traced back several centuries. . It wa one of the customs when a per-son died in the parish to toll th church bell once for every year of the deceased's life. But nobody from this oould tell the sex of the departed, so the sexton, to gratify public curiosity, after ringing In the usual way the number of years, would give eight quick strokes if the de-ceased was a woman and nine if it was a man. This being rung at the end of the strokes for the years were called tailers, and thus nine tailers made a man. Golden Days.

Twas early this morulas I mat a gay party All busily ohat'ring way dt n by the brook; Each bird to the other some item was relating, And they never so much as gave me a look. Pray, what is this matter that seems so important? Oh, do you not know, sir, and cannot you say Why each little heart's In a whirl of emotion. And throbs as a leaf on a mad, windy day ? Tis that they're expecting a host of relations, All bright, merry cousins from woodland and mere, And strangers from orer the surf beating ocean, So blithesome and chipper, aud full of wild cheer. And this seems the reason the little brown spar-row Is gld when the long, dreary winter is o'er. For spring on her wings bears the weaJth of the tropics, And scatters profusion from mil top to shore. PhUadAlnhia Telerhone. An important and nt the same time peculiar point iu insurance has just bceu decided in Chicago. B. took out & policy for $1500 on his property from j September 13, 1888, to September 13, f 1880. , On October 13, 1888, the premises . were burned, but tho company declined j to pay, saying it had not received the premium on the policy, and pointing to I a clause'iu that instrument which said f the policy should not go into effect until tho premium was paid. It appeared that B.'s agent had been iu tho habit of settliug with tho agent of the insurance company once a month, and did not pay over his premium until nfter .the. fire. The court held that, ac-cording to the theory of the defense, the policy should read to be in force irom the date of payment until Sep-tember 13, 1889. The insured, if this were the idea, should at least be en-titled to a year's insurance for a year's premium. It was ridiculous to suppose that a worthless piece of paper was is-sued in lieu of a binding policy, and that when the defendants pretended to issue a, policy insuring from September 13,1888, to September 13. 1889, they in reality did nothing of the kind. The only reasonable construction was that the policy was issued in good faith, and ft short credit given. Judgment was entered for the plaintiff. Trout and Superstition. The trout is derived from a word mean-ing to eat, just as salmon from one mean-ing to leap. The former fish has acquired some celebrity in folk medicine. Thus it is a superstition of Shropshire that a pie dish full of cider should be taken down to a river and a good sized trout caught and drowned in the cider, would a per- son recover from the whooping cough. Trout and cider were then to be carefully carried back to the house, and the sick person must eat the trout after it has been fried and drink the cider. In North-umberland for the same ailment a trout's head is put into the mouth of the suf-ferer, and, as it is said, the trout is left to breathe in the patient's mouth. Still more curiously, Mr. Henderson relates that a friend, when fishing iu Cleveland, was asked by a peasant to give him a "wick'' (live) trout ta lavou the stomach of ona of his children who w as much troubled with worms, ,a troat so applied being a certain cure for the cowplaint.-uitl-iu- !ji Maaaane, ?"!c fer the Patient. Chinese doctors are very particular about the distinction being very strictly kept up between physicians and surgeons, and would not trespass on one another's ground for the world; but this delicacy of feeling has a rather disastrous effect on the patient's pocket sometimes. A Chinese gentleman was struck by an ar-row, which remained fast in his body. A surgeon was sent for, and, modestly requesting liis fee should be paid in ad-vance, he broke off the protruding bit of the arrow, leaving the point imbedded iu the wretched man's body. He refused to extract it, "because," he said, etiquette forbids it. The case is clearly one for a physician, since the arrow is inside the bodvl" Chicago Herald. ... .. .' . '.. . . , |
