Senator Voorhees recent speech In opening1 the tariff debate In the senate Is Interesting to the great army of the unemployed as Indicating What may bt expected If the Democracy Is continued In power. , , i The Wilson bill, with its protection for the great trusts, falls considerably short of the Democratic platform, and Mr. Voorhees Is honest enough to con fess It. He declared distinctly that the Wilson bill Is not a free trade one, but merely a step in the. direction of the total elimination of the protective Idea from our tariff laws. The policy of tin lust thirty years "cannot be annihil ated by a single blow," says Scnatoi Voorhees, but the pending bill "Is a long stride, though not a final one, to wards the approaching day of a ful and perfect deliverance." , That Is putting; It about as plain at words can make It. The Democrats, II allowed to remain In power, do not In tend to stop with the Wilson bill. Two or four years hence, 'if permitted to re tain control of the government, they will pass another tariff bill, based or purely free trade .lines without an atom of protection In it. In view ol the havoc wrought by the half-free-trade-half-protectlon Wilson bill, the paralysed Industry, the depressed busi ness and the hundreds of thousands ol l.1l3 worklugmon, this asauranie that, the prevailing distress Is only a step, and that the authors of It Intend tr complete the misery by going the whole ItngVt of free trade Is not calculated to Inspire confidence In business men end manufacturers1 or to bring comfort to worklngmon. Hut forewarned Is forearmed. The free trade delusions of 189 have been t battered by the practical realities ot 1893 and 1894, and the country has had more than It wants) of Democratic free trade. The only way to remedy the distress la to retire- the tariff smashers to private life and elect a congress and a president friendly to- American Indus tries and American worklngmen. A Cincinnati paper baa unearthcJ "terrible co'mrlracy" reftectllnir on the llf ot MIm Pcllard. besinnlnj with the ymr "It was a ctmnplrHcy of Rill ratrleOJ out with a woman' uct ami rhi'minir. The Klrlx rvolved anion? themselves lo mnrry, and marry well." This is certainly "terrible," but It can not be said to be now.' This conspiracy has existed since the year 400 Si. C. Sometimes It succeeds and sometimes it falls. When it Is a question of mar riage, a woman as a conspirator would put Catiline to tho bluxh. ' The liouso agricultural committee has tcported adversely the bill for the ex amination by the national government of the Russian thistle. This Is exactly what might be expected from a com mittee of southern Democrats. The Russian thistle is like the Wilson bill Its ravages are confined to northern and eastern Interests. It' would be decidedly more consonant with Democratic his tory and principles to Introduce a few thistle seed In th3 north, like the small pox during the war, rather than cxter mlnate any. Presbyterians ure rightly malting vig orous denial of the statement that W. C. P. nreckenridge, of Miss Pollard Ignominy, was ever an elder In the Presbyterian church. Ho In the son of the ffreat Presbyterian theologian, the Hoy. Dr. Robert llreckenridge, and be came a Presbyterlun by preference, has frequently been honored by the church on social occasions, but has never been recognized as a leader or one of the shining lights of that cht-roh. Tha city of Astoria Is prcud of Dr. Alfred Kinney's efforts In her behalf In the railroad matter. Some day It will be regarded as a great credit to have been connected with the movement that "brought the railroad to Astoria, and tho number who can then tell all about how "we did It" will be surpris ing. The wind that agitated the leaves of the palmetto has died away, and all ! still whiskey still, In fact. That was the trouble at the start. ARBOR DAY POETRY.

They went up the Pung- we river in a tiny boat, with the croco diles swarming in its wake for 70 miles, and at Mpandfi'g found lots of liuwing to do among 40 whites, for the place was deadly unhealthy. Then they started to J by the chronic weaknesses, delicate denuiRo walk to Umtali, 100 miles, overland, nienta, and painful disorders that afflict her with Dr. Doyle Granville and a Mr. Sut ton and 40 native carriers with stores and baggage. All tho latter ran away while still four days' march from Um tali. But they pushed ahead with three "boys," leaving Button with the others to guard the stores. There was no food to speak of and no tents. Lions roared at night. Sutton never got out alive Dr. Granville died ii . i,ni- Mm tn,n of tho experience, but the two tough nurses worked two years at TJmtali and then went back into comparative lux ury. Oh, yes, and on the march they wore skirts indeed, but well above the knee, and "putties" that is, bandages of cloth wrapped about the logs from tho top of tho shoes up and men's flan nel shirts. Jlim Lido Armstrong's Ambitions. Pittsburg has a- woman coal dealer in the person of J.Iisa Lido Armstrong, who ban made n fortune in tho business. She has not allowed the hard mid dry nature of her employment, however, to over come tho pliil.iiitl.iupic feelings popular ly supposed to reside i:l the feminine heart. Ever mace a visit to the World's fair she has been revolving In her mind plans by which the tnodd "working man's homo" shown (here may become a Pittsburg reality. And when she has started as many workinguion as possible on the road to ownership of those cozy little $1,000 cottages she wants to devise some way by which the housekeepers may learn to provido threo meals a day for families of five oil G3 cents, as it was demonstrated at the fair might be done. Pittsburg Letter. Tho Slaters McBeth. Among tho many persons long con nected with work among the. Indians few have been known more widely or honored more highly than the two sis ters, Misses Sue L. and Kate McBeth, and the recent death of the former has come as a personal loss to a great many. Of Scottish ancestry and training, Miss McBoth was remarkable for hor famil iarity with the Scriptures and her com prehension of the religious truth. But scarcely less marked was her ability to bo present tho truth as to make it plain and pungent. She was of fragile and delicate constitution, but her prodigious energy enabled her to accomplish an enormous amount of work. Philadel phia Ledger. Beauty In Two Stirrups. One of the most charming girls in the Wert Chester Normal school, Miss Ella Darlington, who has yet to celebrate her twentietli birthday, amazed the staid matrons of this town, but delighted their manly relatives today, by donning a bi- furcated skirt and galloping along the main streets astride a horse. Miss Dar lington is a leader in gymnastic sports. She sat her horse today in fine fashion, using iv man's middle. "Shocking! exclaimed many a spin ster as the rosy cheeked damsel dashed by. All the men rushed out to see the plucky maiden, and many were the praises uttered. Philadelphia Record. A Plucky Ml 9ft. Miss Grace D.
