which WAS ono foot square. IL was then at
tempted TO work the pump at half it's capacity,
and In ton minutes at that ratio tho body OF
water in the shaft had been reduced two feet.

with tho progress made and at 0 o'clock
ordered tho work stopped, and set all his men
at work building new trough, which is to be
two feet square. When this Is completed

If there is dyed in-the-wool Democratic
newspaper, it is the Enquirer of Cincinnati,
aud this is the picture it drew of Mr.. Garfield
last January, when he was the successful
candidate for the United States Senatorship !;
Perhaps General Garfield has been an ADLER
representative of the average Republican sem
iiment of the country than any other member
of the House of Representatives. He is the
recognized leader of the Republican minority
of the House Of Representatives. Though a
partisan, he is capable of some fairness. He
is not a man of wealth, and never will be-
Garfeld's strength is personal and peculiarly
among the people. He lifted himself, unaid-
ed, from the humblest paths to the position
in the history of the country which he now
holds. lie is studious man, with strong
leaning towards scholarship. He hasn't the
face of scholar, but he has the impulse of
one. He will never have so much culture as
10 prevent his longing for more, and he will
never have so much as to mar the sturdy
common sense by means of which he has
journeyed to an eminepce few have reached

worthy man, to link such paltry inventions
with his name aud prefer to admire him fer
those virtues and good deeds which gained
him the affections of his people, and to be, as
one has said, /" a homemade saint" for it Is

We heard lately of droll modern version,
or pervcrsion, of this weather token. Not
many miles from where we write, chance
caller at country house was assured that
there was certain star called Virgin Mary,
and that between the time of its disappear

ty days, it would rain every day, If it rained
on the first of the forty. The family alma
nae was brought ont, in demonstration, and

not astronomical.

observed by the Roman Church, of g The

There seems need that the Schoolmaster or

If one were to take the word of the Dem.
ocrats for it, nothing is so sure as the election
of Hancock. They blow and brag and blus-
ter--just as they have done in every campaign
for the past twenty years. The Chinese sys-
tenn of defeating your enemy by the beating
of gongs and the making of a great noise,
does not kill anybody and the similar Demo-
cratic system does not reduce the Republican
ranks to any appreciate extent.
The publication of the names of Repubii-
cans who are going to vote for the Democratic
candidate is being made with a great deal
more zeal than truthfnlness, and is part of
the "game Of brag." But the supply of
Names even with all those falsely reported,
is unusually small. Thus far, about all the
prominent names mentioned are John w.
Forney, Leonard w. jerome, and Gen. Pear
son, of Pittsburg. These men are warm per-
sonal friends Of Hancock, and but two of the
three are Republicans. John w. Forney has
lost the influence he once held, and his defec-
ton is no serious loss to the Republican par
ty. In fact, since Forney ran the Philadel-
phia Press into the ground in 1876, he has
dulOuHtcu W lIttie. w nll0 ne puUiiSneQ CDe
Press, he opposed Hartranft for Governor,
and SO little was his influence, that Hartranft
was elected by the usual (if not a larger) ma
jority. As to Gen. Pearson, he is distinguish
ed solely by having had command of the
troops at Pittsburg that shot down citizens
and rioters, Unfortunately, during the labor
disturbances. His conduct was severely GEN.
sured at the time. Leonard w. Jerome,
formerly Republican, has for some time past
been training with the Democracy. Tam
n'any Hall named him some time ago for
: Congress, it is stated. His pretence of being
new convert is therefore hypocritical. He
is rich man, horse jockey and fast liver,
and has frequently had "good times " with
his friend Hancock. He is nothing intellect
ually or morally.
So much for prominent Republican Access
sions to the Democratic party.
If any one will refer to files of papers four
years ago, he will find that the number of
accessions claimed for Tilden were far in ex-
cess both as to character and number, of those
of the present campaign.

A Democrat writes as follows to the Phila-
delphia Times:
l see by your independent journal that a
great many Republicans are going to vote for
Hancock and his election is sure. We have
heard the same things on two occasions be-
fore, namely Mcclellan and Greeley but
when the time came for voting they all fell
into line, the same as they will again for Gar
field, and vote the Republican ticket. And
the Grand Army of the Republic are going to
vote for Hancock. Why, do the people be-
leve this ? hope not. Why the first thing
the Democratic party did was to discharge
every member of our order and put rebels in
their places. Where, some one win ask p
Why, in the House and Senate of the United
States Do the Democrats think we have
forgotten so soon No, nor are we blind to
their real intentions, with the name of Gen
eral Hancock to help them through. We do
not want our pensions reduced and the rebels
pensioned, and for these reasons ninety out of
every one hundred Gran Army men and SOL
ders will vote against the Democratic party
Although we love Hancock, who is good,
honest soldier, We will, when the time comes,
cast our votes for our comrades General Gar
field and Arthur, and don't you forget it.

There seems to be certain uneasiness in
pominational affiliations of Mrs Gen. Han
cock. Tie New York San, few days after
the Generals nomination, took pains to say
that Mrs. Hancock, although educated in q
Catholic convent was Unitarian and attend
ed a Unitarian church IN that city. A few
days afterward, in answer to the question of
a correspondent of the San whether or not
she was Catholic; the editor replied that he
did not know--tbat probably the fact that she
was educated in ~ Catholic convent led to
that suppositon-she might be and she might
not Another Democratic paper says she at
tends and contributes toward the Episcopal
Church on Governors Island. Other Demo
cratic sheets have also something to say about
It, Perhaps they have the impression that
Mrs. Hancock, and not the General, is their
candidate for Presidential least, they may
have the impression that she will practically
be president il he is elected, and therefore
are anxious that it should not appear that she
is likely to be under priestly domination, like
the wife of Gen. Sherman, who is more de-
voted to the Pope than to her husband. We
should think, however, that they would ratA-
er be pleased to find that Mrs. Hancock (as is
asserted by the Christie. Adoocate last weekly
is member of the Catholic church, for that
fact would please the large body of Catholic
voters who, with rare exceptions, cast their
votes for the Democratic ticket and give 1t
about all the power it has. These voters will
be pleased to read the following

The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,

The handles can be adjusted to accommo-

It is perfect Piow.
Wooden beams are going out OF use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run

Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and

The reported tgains in Louisiana are
very suspicious. A few days ago the Demo-
cratic newspapers of New Orleans were be-
waling the fact that they were likely to lose
at least one Congressman, and perhaps more.
Suddenly they began to report the most as
tonishing gains from East and West Fell
ciana, Baton Rouge, and the other familiar
bulldozed parishes that have not added per
cent. to their population in five years. New
Orleans is reported now also as having $780,
600, though 1907 900 was the admitted figure a
week ago. The enumerators in the South
are for the most part Democrats. There is
probably much greater need of recount in
some of the Southern States than in st. Louis
or any other city of the North.

acles were told, as being wrought first at his
