tumorous Department. He Worried the Gitide.?There is a practical joker in Chicago, who deserves to be classed with the "Doctor" in Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad." The "Doctor's" conversation with the guide in relation to the mummy is hardly more amusing than this man's conversation with a guide in relation to Niagara falls. He recently made his first trip to the falls and a guide that he hired was trying to impress him with their magnKude. "Grand!" suggested the guide. "Great!" acquiesced the Chicagoan stolidly. AJnirnifWnt!" nersisted the guide, disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm. "Finer than the Bear Trap Dam in the Drainage canal," admitted the Chicagoan. The guide looked to see if he was joking; but there was never a smile. The Chicagoan seemed to be interested, but not at all impressed. "Millions of gallons a minute," explained the guide. "How many in a day?" asked the Chicagoan. "Oh, billions and billions," said the guide. The Chicagoan looked across and down and up, as it gauging the flow, and then turned away disinterestedly. "Runs all night, too, I suppose," he remarked nonchalantly. The guide was dazed and he had not recovered when the cmcagoan ten. Inviting Frank Criticism.?A rich, but irascible art collector of Chicago, recently invited a critic to view his latest purchase. The collector is in nc sense an authority in art matters himself, and gauges pictures largely by the price. "It's a gem, a treasure: I know it is," he said, "but I want your frank opinion. Cost me a big sum, but it's worth u. One of the old masters, you know." When they stood before the picture the critic's brows contracted and he looked thoughifui. The collector was watching him anxiously. "Had an alleged judge of these matters up here the other day." the collector remarked, "but ne didn't know anything. It's astonishing what a reputation a man can get by a little assurance; but he won't make that mistake again." "What mistake?" asked the critic. "Why, he said this was not an original, but a copy, and the roasting I gave him just shriveled him up. It was all I could do to restrain myself f-om kicking him out of the house, the presumptuous fool. Now, what's youi honest opinion of the work?" "I believe," said the wise critic, after another inspection of the canvas, "thai I'd better take a little time for consideration. If you don't mind, I'll write you what I think of it."?Brooklyn Eagle.

Gastonia Gazette, July 22: The L< noir papers advocate a big celebratlc upon the completion of the standai gauge railroad to that town. By a means. It is, as The News says, great event that should be celebrate appropriately. "Let us," says Tl News, "have a celebration, drive a la spike and listen to some nice speechi and have a general good time." Ar we will add to this the suggestion thi this event will mean much for Gaston! the largest town on the road, and v must not be behind our sister towns i celebrating the completion of tl standard gauge.

It is probable that other art cles also were taken, though it is in possible to say definitely. About 1 o'clock, or a few minutes past, Mr. V E. Kindley was passing along Air Llr street, opposite the rear of Mr. Heath's Ir ,t store, and thinking he heard a noise in si c, that direction, stopped and watched for pi i- a few minutes, but hearing nothing re ir more, and seeing no one, passed on. cj y By means of a plank placed against tl >- the wall the burglar or burglars climbe ed to the second story, removed a pane p, T. of window glass and thus gained an en- 01 l, trance. The work was evidently done r. by a green hand at the business, as he c| i- overlooked the cash drawer entirely. It ft e contained, however, only a very small V d amount In pennies.

It may be definitely stated I n that the attack on the Republicans will f to proceed along two well marked and distlnct lines, one primarily political, the te other economic. These are the PhilipIs pine issue and the trust question. The ir Republican's expectation that their opponents are suffering from a plethora of "issue" is not likely to be realized, for the party managers are showing a ^ great deal of astuteness in laying out the lines upon which their contest is to [n be conductea. They will group all of the subordinate issues around the two pring' cipal ones just mentioned and they will ^ lay particular stress on one or the other ' of these groups according to what they consider the needs of the locality in which the campaign may at any particular time be raging. As regards the Philippine issue all the j, indications point to a probability that the question will be judiciously handled ; and that the discussion will not be aliy lowed to wander off upon side issues or to concern itself primarily with indlvldual cases of torture or maltreatment of u the natives. It seems tolerably clear that there will be less talK cnan mere i 16 ( has been about Imperialism, and that f the general effort will be made to con- ' " centrate criticism upon the way in " which the administration of the Philip- |5 pines has been conducted rather than c le J . upon the character of the policy purAt 3 sued for the islands. Thus, there will { doubtless be a strong effort to show j that there has been bad and corrupt r" management In army affairs. Such ] r" cases as the misuse of the transport ser- t ry i ' vice between San Francisco and the ^ Philippines will be harped upon, and < n general orders like those for which j ' General Smith has just been retired will < be brought especially to the front in the j k~ attempt to show reckless conduct on j the part of our troops. Much will also ' 16 be made of the provisions of the Philip- ( pine bill as regards grants of land to d corporations, etc. In short, the Philip- <j ^ pine question will be given a much 2 ' more directly practical and economic i ' aspect than it has hitherto had in the j course of the discussion. Closely inter- % n woven with the general charges of bad 2 rt j management in the islands will come i e' the attack on the administration for its | j*s treatment of Miles, and especially for jj * 1' nf tho war O ine way m wxuuu mc auano ^ 16 department are carried on. The Demo- 1 3~ crats will, however, be wise enough to 4 10 keep all this matter within the bounds 3 of prudence, and they will take care to 2 use material of this kind only In those 1 r' sections and under those circumstances 1 where It will be helpful to them. They will not permit minor matters to bee" come commanding features in the cam,n paign as it at one time seemed they "d might. 11 On the trust question the first and a foremost argument to be made will natfd urally take the form merely of a clear setting forth of existing conditions, st The vast number of trusts which have sprung up under Republican rule will id be pointed out and the great increase it in the price of commodities resulting in a, a decline in the purchasing power of wages, notwithstanding the slight in1? crease in money wages, will be used as an offset to the claims concerning the prosperous condition of the country, is On this groundwork a general superie structure of trust argument will be ie raised. The excessive cost of living V- within the past few months in the Unis ted States will be contrasted with con*d ditions in foreign countries, where t. there has been no such increase in ie prices, and the Inference will be drawn In that the tariff is responsible for the suf3 ferings of our consumers. This will at ?fov for nnmnlnlnts reeard afc l-JU > C lilC ??u/ *v,? 1? k ing Republican selfishness in refusing 5r to grant fair drawback legislation and ill reciprocity. is in this connection the Cuban question ?n will be allowed to come up, although it m will be largely treated in connection D. witn the Philippine matter. Of course 'd it will be necessary for the Democrats .. to discredit the Republican promise of -e trust legislation. This they will do by it pointing to several distinct facts. First d they will recall the failure of the Re>r publicans in the house last winter, to :e pass any of the resolutions for inquiry i- into the beef trust and other matters, i- the apparent suspension of the presiL1 dent's attack on the trust against which 7. he instituted proceedings, and other ie circumstances of the same sort point* ig to what they believe to be the In- <W neerlty of the present anti-trust romlses. Secondly the public will be milnded that although the Republi- n~ ins have been In power for a long time ley have made absolutely no effort, Yn ther than a worthless bill, passed by ? ne house for manifestly political pur- cus oses, to interfere with the operations 'ne f trusts. Thirdly, the impossibility of aal ?ducing any of the tariff schedules will aa' e forcibly presented and It will be Bei laimed that this Is the only means ?oi ?asible for thorough trust control, and trJ! et it is the only one which most cer- [J11 linly will never De unuertaKen Dy me ?Republicans. Chairman Babcock's ex- * eriences In this regard will be called > mind. Of course, it will be necessary to re- r! ut the claim that while President Mckinley may not have desired to do p luch on the trust question, the case is ifferent with Mr. Roosevelt. Here the lain answer will be made that what- g. ver may be Mr. Roosevelt's personal ishes his lack of control over his par- " Y in congress is apparent. Then, too, p i . will be suggested that the senate's [,/ efusal to accept the Dubois amendlent, calling for publicity or corporaIon accounts, and offered while the ensus bill was under consideration, hows that nothing is really meant by lie talk about publicity of accounts. All signs in Washington point most g nequivocally to the opinion that the g )emocratic campaign will be managed, 0 far as its critical side goes, with a reat deal of keenness, and that the tepubltcans will find it necessary to be * ery active and to marshal their forces vith care in order to meet the attack of heir adversaries.?Washington dls- > atch to New York Journal of Comnerce.
