community where the prizes and applause
are divided about equally between mental

There is not much 10 be gained
by any Democrat in stirring VI
John Sherman. In the Senate on
Thursday, Kenna- attacked Saer-
mans position with reference to
tariff and revenue, accusing the
Ohio man OF inconsistency, and
quoting from speeches made by
Sherman twenty and thirty years
ago which expressed views to some
extent opposite to those now enter
tanned by Sherman. The latter re-
piled III u very vigorous speech IN
which he declared that great
changes had taken place in the
country since the war, and he
would be unfit to occupy seat IN
the Senate il his views had not
changed to suit the altered condi-
ton of the country. Then he at
tackled the Democratic party. and,
shaking his fist at the Democratic
Senators, he tainted them with the
party's cowardice in refusing to ac-
cept the responsibility of power by
making a square contest onthe tariff
question. He wanted that issue to
be made for the coming Presidential
election, and declared that the Re-
publicans would stand squarely on
the principle of protection to
American labor.
This tilt in the Senate is some
what significant. Sherman's taunt
was we'll placed. The Democratic
party certainly occupies a cowardly
position relative to the tariff. 1t be-
lieves in free trade, but is afraid to
come out boldly in favor OF that doc
trine, for fear that votes may be
lost by such a course. Cleveland,
however, has forced the issue on
the party. 1t must nominate him,
and, at the same time, his nominal
ton will precipitate that contest on
the tariff issue that tine party man
ayers have most reason to fear.
The Democratic party may se com
pared to big OK going reluctantly
10 the shambles, goaded along 10y
the butcher Cleveland. 1t scents
the danger of the situation, but Is
powerless TO escape.

POLACk RIOTS.

The riots in Shenandoah, Penn

more were needed, OF the class of
persons that the greet of corpora
tons and the indiscriminate immi-
grafton laws have introduced into
the country. The rioters we're
Poles. They had been brought to
this country and put to work in the
coal mines because American labor
ers wanted good wages. The Hum
garians, Italians and Russians have
been brought here for the ssme pur-
pose. They have, for the most
part, driven American labor out of
the mines, or reduced it into de-
grading competition. The Post
says:
These men, whatever may be
their virtues are ignorant, turbu-
lent people. The accounts of their
attempts to murder the non-union
men and the police read more like
that of barbaric emeufe than like
an occurrence in Ian abiding Amer
lea. The numerous outbreaks OF
the same kind in the past few
years indicate that We are allowing
the introduction OF races as hostile
to the American spirit and form OF
Government as the Chinese. The
greed OF corporations has brought
them here by the easy evasion OF
the Contract Labor law, and it will
continue to Introduce them az long
as Congress allows it. The strikes,
riots and destruction of property
that they bring evidently cost the
corporations less than the payment
OF honest wages. The workingmen
should move in the matter and
urge Congress to pass a law that
will exclude this kind of immigra-
ton.

A Great Natural Wonder.

Meade Center's great salt wells are
creating quite a reputation as phenO-
menOn, which will give our city an en-
viable reputation and make us way UP
people in this great American desert.
To give our readers an idea of this
mammoth hole in the ground we will
say: In 1879 space of earth about
200 feet in diameter sank down, leav-
ing walls as though they had been
bored perpendicular, and left perfect
well of salt water with beautiful sky
blue hue; the depth is fathomless.
There have been many attemps made
to measure the depth, but all have been
fruitless, which is attributed to the salt
condition of the water. which bears up
the weight.
Now our great natural wonder again
comes to the front by the gradual sink
ing of the earth around it, which pre-
sents the picture of an old time earth
quake. Cracks are in the ground
sufficiently large to deposit two good
sized COWS and hide them from sight.
There is undoubtedly a vast bed of salt
at the bottom of this phenomenal won
der and the continual washing of the
water produces a vacuum which causes
the earth to sink around it.-Larned

that the above township was going to

corn.
