Times Review.

Times Review.
There will be, in the next Congress-.
1872 members elected as Democrats.
and 143 Republicans. OF these
newspaper reporter has interviewed
90 Of the former and 81 of the latter
upon the silver coinage question. OF
the 50 Democrats Az declared liz favor
Of the present law, while only four
opposed it. The other eight were
either non-committal, favored the
Warner scheme or had views Of their
own upon the subject not exactly in
consonance with the present law or
any change proposed. Thus it will
be seen that only four pronounced
themselves as favoring demonetiza-
ton. Presuming the same proportion
throughout the 1872, there will be IA
Democrat members that can be coun-
ted as reliable friends of silver. ia
voring either the present law or un-
limited coinage; twenty-five that NAV
be classed as doubtful, but most OF
whom, as between demonstration and
the existing Act, would doubtless sus.
tain the latter; leaving only ID advo-
Gates Of Secretary Manning's propo-
sition of suspension. Among the 81
Republicans interviewed BY the same
correspondent, 60 favored "legisla
ton" and l6 opposed it. These fig
ures indicate about the same proper
ton, in an inverse ratio, between the
two party representation upon tha
silver proposition. With this prepon-
deraEce of Democratic sentiment III
favor OF silver coinage, can Presidents
| Cleveland afford to cast his execu-
tive influence in favor Of Secretary
Manning's forthcoming pronuncia-
mento. We opine not. He would
place himself in direct antagonism to
such an overwhelming majority of his
party in Congress that he could ex-
pect to effect nothing practically in
support of his financial policy, while
his opposition wonld create such dis
sention in his party, not only in Con-
gress, but among the rank and file, al
to leave his administration but finn
sy Democratic support during the re-
mainder of his term. He could not
afford it if he would, and we hope he
would not if he could,

Just the Leg for Arctic Climate.

All Smith Sound explorers have
something to say of the Esquimaux
with the wooden leg. Everybody
knows, of course, that timber does
grow i'll that part of the world, and
the man with the wooden leg must be
quite curiosity to the Ellesmere Land
Esqumaux, who occasionally visit
their friends on the Greenland coast.
His name is Arrowtah. One day, when
he was quite a boy, he was out on
hill hunting binds, when a great stone
rolled on his foot and crushed it. His
mother to save his life, cut off his leg
about six inches below the kneen with
knife made of bone. Arrowtah sur
vived the rude surgery, and grew up
stout young man, but was almost en-
tirely helpless to his tribe, because he
could only hop around on one leg. In
1919, the surgeon of the North Star,
one of the Franklin search vessels.
made him a wooden leg, which was re-
paired and renewed by Dir. HAYES,
eleven years later. Twenty -four wears
after he first put it on the Polaris party
found him still stumping around on his
good, stout oaken leg, and he could
hunt auks with the pest of his tribe,
though the difficulty of travelling over
the rough ice made him useless as a
walrus hunter. Arrowtah at last ac-
counts was very anxious to cross over |
to Ellesmere Land in search of a wife.
de said none of the ladies in his own |
tribe suited him. Brooklyn Eagle.

Ten Serious Mistakes.

1t is mistake to labor when you
are not in fit condition to do so.
TO conclude that the smallest room
in the house is large enough to sleep
in.
To think that the more person eats
the healthier and stronger he will be-
come.
To take off proper clothing out Of
season because you have been heated
To imagine that if little work or
exercise is good, violent and prolonged
exercise is better.
To go to bed at midnight and rise
at daybreak, and imagine that every
hour taken from sleep is an hour
gained.
To believe that children can do as
grown people. and the more hours
they study the moro they can learn.
