 The recently issued address of the National Democratic Com. to the people of the United States sets forth in plain language it's presum- ing needs of fund for the legitimate expenses of this campaign. Never has money been subscribed as ilb- erallv, but never has there been such demand for tariff documents. Millions of these have been printed and circulated at great expense, Millions more must be distributed and, and the money 10 pay for them must be raised.
 In view of the urgent need for campaign funds the publishers of the Graphic have decided to make the following offer to the Demo cratic voters of the United States.
 To every subscriber to the Week ly Graphic between now and Nov. the paper will not only be mailed for one year, but one-half of the subscription price (sl.25) will be immediately seEt to the National Committee and ackr owledged hy 1t.
 Now then, how does this strike you? You receive the Weekly Edition of the best Democratic, as well as the best Daily illustrated, :, paper in the country at it's regular price for one year dating from Oct. 1, 1888, and you help your party to perpetuate the principles of the Democracy and Tariff Reform.
 Our Cartoons by T. Mast, tbe great carjcaturlst, are alone worth the prlee ot the paper.
 Send along a subscription for the Weekly Graphic by next mail, get tihg the paper at it's regular sub scrlption price, which also contrib utes sl .25 to the campaign fund
 We want l0o,o0 subscriptions in 30 days, and we expect, with your prompt and vigorous supp Tt, to gel them, and your name will go down to posterlty in tue columns of The Graphic as good Democrats and good men of business.

THE SPEAKING.
What "News'' Representative Saw
 and Heard Tuesday.

The speaking began at half past l o'clock.
 The candidates were introduced by [. Petross.
 The speaking was i'll the public school building and d very large crowd was out.
 Col. Watson boldly declared him. selt an independent not subject to the will of the Democracy.
 1t was clearly an off day for Wat son. He became mixed in hls fuL- ny stories and the audience of conrse failed to respond.
 Col, Watson claimed the Republi- can vote but we have yet 10 find the first Republican at this place who says he will vote for him.
 One enthusiastic admirer of Col. Watson made strenuous efforts to get up little Watson enthusiasm, but Il was "no %" ln that crowd.
 The ladies were out in full force, and person could tell at a glance they were all fer Peel. They laugh ed at his jokes and seemed to take much interest in his talk on the tar If.
 Col. Peel spoke first. He thank ed the people for their support in the past ana asked it again oh the 9th of November. Ho spoke for some time OF the tariff and it was the plalnest and most concise talk on that subject we have ever heard. He gave Col. Watson severe drub ping for desertlng the Democrats, and likened his Democrae y nto a your z Confederate soldier who de- serted during the War owing to the roughness O. the fare, etc, hut upon being captured with gang of Fec eral soldiers rushed into the arms of hisformer assoeiates eXclaiming that he was as good Southern man as any of 'em but he had q d-d poor way ofshowing 1t. Col. Peel spoke one hour and forty minutes. He was at times compelled to stop un- til the cheering abated somewhat.
 Col. Watson was then introduced and in his peculiars gallant style thanked tbe ladies for their pres ence, and he then Iin his own mind) proceeded to smoks Peel out. He brought out what he called th., rec ord on him but to save the life of us We could not tell head nor tail of 1t.

A teamster drove wagon loaded with
stones into the city of Marseiles, France.
At the gate the excisemen asked if he

cried one of them. ''Let me have the
donkey and I shall find the man." The
team consisted of mule and donkey.
The man embarrassed the mule and took
its place, he and the don:ey pulling
along the empty wagon. He allowed
the donkey to do the main part Of the
pulling and to select his own road. The
donkey led the way through the most
populous part of the city, followed by
immense crowds of people, curious to

A Desperate Mother Saves Her Child.

"Speaking of serious cases of diph-
theria," says DR.. Willis, of Brooklyn, in
the New York Sun, II know of sim
gular case that occurred in Sixth avenue,
New York. only short time ago. 1t
was child years of age. 1t was so
near deaths door that the family physi-
clan had given up all hopes of its recov-
cry. The poor mother was almost dis
tracted. She pleaded with the doctor
to save her child if possible, but to no
avail. His last call was about 9 o'clock
in the evening. As he left the house,
the mother took up the child in her arms
and looked down it's throat, and saw
that it could scarcely get its breath. AS
the mother watched its sufferings she be-
came desperate. and thought to herself:
eff I could only pull that false mem,
brane ont of its throat believe my child
would live"
SIN twinkle she put her fore-finger
down the child's throat and eXtricatcd
the false membrane that obstructed its
breathing.
"When the physician called in the
morning he expected to see the corpse of
the child. He inquired of the mother
of the sudden change for the better,
when she told him what she had done.
"'Why, my good woman,' said he,
you have saved the child's life at great
risk. Let me see the false membrane
"When shown to him he asked leave
to take it, as he desired to make it the
sub. .ect of lecture before the Medical
College in this city, and his request was
granted"

Electricity in the Orient.

Fl. NJ. Williams recently visited Chicago
after his return from the Asiatic empires,
where he went to introduce the electric
light, and he says to q reporter of the
Chicago Herald that the readiness with
which the Orientals adopt these improve
ments is quite astonishing. In Japan,
most of the principal cities are now
lighted by electricity, as ours are, and
most Of the finest houses are Illuminated
in the same way. A large plant has re-
Gently been placed in the palace Of the
Mikado, at Toxic, very large building,
or rather cluster of buildings, connected
by corridors and covering several acres.
The Chinese do not take hold Of these
Improvements as readily as the Japs, but
are beginning to see their advantages.
The Coreans are ready to adopt all mod
ern ideas, particularly if they come from
the United States. The palace of the
King Of Corea has plant of 300 lights,
and was first illuminated on the birthday
of the Kings mother-in-law, on the Goth
of February, with great ceremony. The
palace is at Seoul and consists of series
Of long, low wooden buildings, with a
thatched roof. As no foreigner is al
lowed to look upon the features of the
King or Queen, the workmen took great
>risks when they were putting in the
apparatus, for if they had, even by acci-
dent, seen the face of the King, they
would have been put to death, according
to tie custom of the country. They were
carried into the palace and through the
corridors in palanquins. and trumpetcrs
were sent ahead of them so that the royal
family might keep out of their way.
