Remus, the Chimpanzae.

From the New York Tribune.
The young chimpanZee at Central
park has been purchased and will re-
main fixture here. He was broughS
here three months ago by his owner,
John H. Smyth, minister to Liberia.
Mr.. Smyth brought the chimpanzee
with him as cabin passenger. He
was great pet in the minister's
family. He left him in care Of Mr..
Conkling, superintendent of the Zo-
illogical department at Central park
intending to call for the monkey. Mr..
Smyth's plans having changed, he
did not return with the chimpanzee
and consented to give him to the
city, receiving only his passage non
ey, S125, in exchange. The name
Crowley, by which the little fellow
has been known heretofore, was given
him by his keeper, who had never
heard his real name. Remus.
Remus is now nearly twenty-one
months old and has grown consider
anly since coming here. He is to be
moved into new house. which will
be built on the left of the monkey
house. Mr.. Conkling said recently
that he would have bedstead. with
a mattress and blanket, table and
chairs, looking glass and wash bowl.
His keeper will eat with him at noon.
THE large chimpanzees at Ant
werp," said Mr.. Conkling, "sleep in
a bed six feet long, set on chairs at
the table and eat with their keeper,
take their bottles of red wine with a
relish and are very human-like. Re-
mus we expect to grow to be four feet
and half high. 1t is difficult to keep
them through the winter in this
climate and 1 worry about Remus."

Salt for the Throat.

In these days when diseases of the
throat prevail, would advise those
afflicted to try my remedy-common
salt.
For the past two years l have suf-
fered more or less with very disa-
greeable pricking sensation in my
throat, as though it had splinters in
it, and fancied at some time or other

remained sticking in my throat. De-

cause of my trouble, l called to my

little. A friend advised me to Use
strong salt water as gargle, which
l have done the past two months, and
my throat is well. / put a heaping
teaspoonful of coarse salt (Liverpool)

my throat thoroughly three times a
day, before each meal, and the last
thing on going 20 bed, and in addi-
tion to that, doubled linen handker-
chief twice four thickness. wet it with
the salt water and pinned it around
my throat, placing over that two
thicknesses of dry flannel.
A friend told me that she always
broke up cold in that way, and by
shifting little up her nose.
The gargle is not unpleasant to the
taste. l also use it diluted to battle
my eyes. 1t is very strengthening,
and if it is good for the throat it
must be good for the eyes.

Canon City Record.
"We can and will shut up all tho
great industrial establishments of
America in three months time if you
will give US Free Trade" was what
one of Great Britain's greatest manu-
facturers said last winter when Morri-
son, Carlisle and Hurd, the trio of
American free traders, were shout
ing for 20 per cent. reduction of
duties on imported goods and manu-
factures. All Britain watched that
free trade contest at Washington last
winter with the deepest interest.
There were millions upon millions
in it. The Democratic party in Con-
gress were battling for free trade that
was to open American ports for Brit
ish goods which would start ten thous-
and idln British worhshaps moving
and employ millions OF British capi-
tai. The great. rich and proud dry
goods manufacturers all said, "give
US the Morrison bill and in three
months we will have control of the
A,1erican markets and of fifty mil
lions of people," This is no'empty
statement. Last week P. Il. Barnum,
the great Snowman, whose head and
heart are with American industrial
interests, stood up in a public meet
ing and told how British merchant
princes said boldly to him that nine
ty days of free trade would be enough
for them to fill our bonded ware
houses, shops and stores with British
manufactured goods, driving out
made goods and shutting
up American shops.
Yes. fellow workingmen of Amer
lea, all that Great Britain wants is a
Democratic rule in Washington for
one session and change enough would
be done to our industries to cripple
US for ten years.

How They Will Vote.

Whatever differences may exist
with reference to other matters, all
political parties recognize the import
ance of the labor vote. 1t is an es-
sential factor in determining results
which cannot be safely ignored. The
men who toll in the shops and mines
and till the soil are the guardia.ee-oose
our national prosperity, and they
rightfully hold the balance of power
in the struggles for political suprem-
acy.
They therefore have it in their
power TO remedy political abuses by
means of the ballot. To their credit
it must be said they rarely make a
mistake. The diffusion of informa-
ton through popular system of free
schools, and well-rewarded labor un-
der protective tariff, nave raised
them from the position Of dependents
to that of true sovereignty, and they
make and unmake political parties at
their own will. AS rule, which has
its exceptions, of course, American
workingmen are intelligent. patriot
ic and frugal. So long as they shall so
continue the institutions of the coun-
try are safe in their guardianship.
Recognizing this fact the Republi-
can party has so shaped its policy as
to encourage and foster both a sys.
tenn of free elementary instruction
and liberal policy of protection, by
which the poorest citizen is enabled
to live in comparative comfort, and
procure for his children the advanta-
ges Of education that are enjoyed by
his more fortunate neighbor.

HIsToRICAL.-Five or six weeks
before the November election of 1880,
a great many Democrats in the man.
ufacturing States of the East began
to believe that Gen. Hancock either
was not friend of the protective
system or lacked positive convictions
on the subject.
These apprehensions were confirm
ed by the publication in Paterson
newspaper of an alleged interview
with the Democratic candidate; and
they were not dispelled by General
Hancock's celebrated tariff letter Of
Oct. 18th, 1880.
Election day came. and the citizens
of New York, New Jersey. and Cen
necticut deposited their ballots.
New Jersey had given Tilden in
1875 majority of 12,445 over Hayes.
1t gave Hancock majority of only
2,0l0 votes.
In Connecticut the Democratic plu-
rality in 1876 had been 1900. Han
cock lost the State in 1880 by 1856
votes.
In New York, TiIden's plurality
of 32,Sl8 disappeared, and G rfield
carried the State by 2l,O33 votes.
This is historical.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-10-18

The New York Independent, in
commenting upon the tariff question,
says: The Democratic theory Is that
all tariff duties should be levied for
revenue only, without any regard to
the principle OF Protection to Ameri-
can industry. The Republican theory
is that. while these duties are leyied
for revenue as one Of their reasons,
they should also he adjusted as to
make them protective whenever and
wherever Protection is needed. This
in practical result. makes very wide
difference between the two parties,
and forms one among many reasons
why the people should not trust the
Democratic party with the control oI
the Government. The theory fthat
party, If put in practice, would be IA
tai to many branches OF American In
dustry, unless wages were reduced tC
the pauper rates paid In Europe.

A COMPLICATED CASE.
Decision OF the Probate Court in the
Aiken Estate Case Reversed,

Decision OF the Probate Court in the
Aiken Estate Case Reversed.
In the matter of the estate of VIM. d.
Aiken, deceased, the court in general term
yesterday reversed the decision of the pro-
bate judge, and directed that the bonds re-
main in tho custody of the court, There is q
kind Of triangular fight in this case.
Messrs. Edwards & Barnard appear for
Matthew Aiken, jr., Messrs. Crittonden s.
Mackey for tho administrator OF the estate.
and Mr.. I. II. n. Mcpherson for the United
States.
Upon tho death Of VIM. D. Aiken there
was found among his effects the sum of
$4,000 in United States A por cent bonds
which came into the possession Of tho court
by virtue of an order made in the case of
Aiken VS.. Barstow, guardian. requiring the
latter to turn over the bonds to the
register of wills. Barstow made no
claim to tho bonds as guardian
| or as an individual, and did not know to
whom they belonged. VIM. L. HELEN quail
fed as administrator Of the estate of Aiken,
and alleged that the bonds constituted part
of the estate, which has been denied. 1t is
supposed that they are tho proceeds of GER
tain United States bonds left in trust with
Mary Ann Davidson by two union soldiers,
whose names are unknown, but alleged to be
the nophews of Davidson, and before her
death, on or about Aug. 4, 1864, were left in
trust with Mary Wilkinson Aiken, and be-
fore her death, Sept. /, 1880, were left by her
in trust with her son, William ID. Aiken, and
before his death, July 9, 1881, were left by
him in trust with his brother Matthew
Aiken, jr., who turned the bonds over TO his
guardian, William IL. Barstow.
Upon hearing tho matter In probate, JUS
