The bandana party is likely to be called
upon to explain just what the bandana
means. 1t was once, said Mr. Raymond
very happily in his speech, the badge of
slavery, and worn by the toilers in South
ern cotton fields as head dress. 1t has
never been taken up out of that condition
as badge, until the Democracy adopted
it because of Mr.. Thurman's eccentricity
in kerchiefs." 1t springs at once from the
head-gear of bondage in the cruel slavery
days to the rank of orifamme of the Dem
ocratic party. Its dull blood-red has no
meaning in American eyes; it recalls
nothing in the world except the strait of
the Democracy for symbol; the turbans
of the cotton field "auntles" and the
peculiar requirements of Mr. Thurman's
nose. If it means anything else the domi-
nant party owes the country the good turn
of an explanation. We admit, however.
the entire appropriateness of the ban
dana upon the Democratic standard ::
however long it may be foated there it
cannot lose the stain of the sweat of the
slave the Democracy, by its subservience to
the slaveocracy, kept in bondage until the
Republican party came to the rescue of an
imperilled Union.

Growing Longevity.

Very curious statistics are drawn from
the minute funeral records of Rev. J. S.
Pattengill during fifty years ministry in
Central New York, now at Cannonsville.
The first 100 descendants averaged 26J
years, Z being over 20. The second 100
descendants averaged Sc years, Is being
over 20. The third 100 descendants aver
aged 81 years, 20 being over 20.
The fourth 100 descendants averaged
q years, % being over 20. The
fifth 100 decedents averaged 81 years,
81 being over 20. The last 70 decedents
averaged So years, 80 being over 20.
Deaths at over 20 in Baltimore, says DR..
Hamilton, have increased in ten years
from O.O64 per cent. to 10 per cent. of the
total mortality. and in Washington from

THE "point with pride" business is not
much INDUCED in by our Democratic
friends this season. Why should they
"point with pride?" What has the Adj
ministration done that has advanced the
country, or that leaves it at the close of
Mr.. Cleveland's term one particle better
off than at the beginning. Additions
have been made to the navy-but upon
urgency by Republican Senators, and
under the spur of the whole nation. We
are at peace with the world, but no thanks
are to be rendered to the Democracy for
continuing the state in which it found the
nation. A settlement has been had of the
fisheries question, but at the expense of
national pride, and the sacrifice of about
all the claims our fishery industries pre-
ferred. Civil service reform, to which Mr.
Cleveland pledged himself has literally
gone backward; the redemption of the
national debt was SO delayed by the Adj
ministration that Congress was forced by
resolution to point out to the President his
bounden duty to use certain revenues for
the taking up of certificates of national
Indebtedness. With howl long and
piteous about taxation, the internal reve-
nue. taxes are retained, though the voice
Of the country is in large majority de-
handing their revocation, and the dis
charge of the $500 Federal officials their
collection necessitates. Calmly viewed,
soberly considered, what has the Admins
tration done to distinguish it, or give it a
claim upon the gratitude of the nation?

lsrEc1AL DISPATCHES TO THE nKoonD-uN1oN.l

LONDON, June 14th.-The Queen and
Government have received kilograms from
Potsdam stating that Emperor Frederick
is lying at the point of death, and may die
at any moment. There is a constant inter-
change of Geographic messages between
the Prussian and British royal houses in
regard to the Emperor's condition.

LONDON, June 14th.-A dispatch to the

INTENSE ANXIETY IN BERLIN.
BERLIN. June 14th.-The people of Ber-
lin did not realize the extreme gravity of
the Emperor's condition until the appear
ance of the morning extras, containing the
morning bulletin. The people then felt
that henceforth the worst news could be
looked for. The concern was universal,
and the intense anxiety increased as sue
cessive extras announced the approach of
the last agony. Until long after nightfall
crowds gathered in front of the official res
idence in Wilhelm strasse. being especially
watchful a. the Chancellor's residence.
Early in the afternoon Count Won Schel-
lendorf visi ed Prince Bismarck, and the
two started for Poisdam, where they re-
manned two hours, returning to the Chan
cellor's residence together. Several minis
tiers visited Prince Bismarck in the even
ing, and an informal council was held.
Prince Bismarck had long conference
with the Crown Prince at Potsdam, after
seeing the Emperor.

the military arm of the EN-
pire, it is feared that William will go be-
yond the point where the aged Emperor
paused with wise discretion, and so alarm
neighboring States as to incite prepare
lions that may result in angry explanations
and possibly in war. If the new Emperor
pursues the course indicated, and closes
his eyes to the liberalizing tendencies to
which his father proposed to offer no strong
resistance, it will simply be the worse for
William. German unity will not be de-
stroyed by any folly of his, nor will Ger
man progress be stayed by such an obstacle

On last Saturday the following prob
lem which had been received for publica-
ton, appeared in the columns of the REC
oRD-UNIoN:
Mrs. A, Mrs. H. and Mrs. R. and their
three daughters bought cloth and laces.
The purchase was in yards, and each per-
son paid as many cents per yard as she
bought yards Each of the ladies paid 63
cents more than her daughter. OF the
three girls, Jane bought % yards less than
Mrs. A, and Eliza IL yards less than Mrs.
II. The third of the daughters was named
Anne. Whose daughter was each of the
girls?"
The following answer or solution has
been received, and will interest our mathe-
NAUTICAL puzzle sharps:
SOLUTION OF PROBLEM.
EDS. RECORD UNION: As the number of
yards each one bought is the same as the
price per yard she paid, the square of the
number of yards must equal the amount
in cents each one paid.
Commencing with the number / and
squariDg each number in succession
to 80, we have all the possible
amounts that each one might have
paid. Thus the square of l is l, the
square of 2 is 4, the square of is 8, the
square of A is 16, the square of is 25, the
square OF 8 is sc, the square of is 40, the
square of is GA, the square of is 81, the
square of 10 is 100, the square of IL is I2l,
the square of II is IA the square of Is is
1859, the square of IA is 1876, the square of
Is is 225, the square of IS is 256, the square
of II is $780, the square of Is is 324 the
square of 10 is 361, the square of 90 is 400.
the square of 81 is AL, the square
of % is 4S4, the squere of g is
529, the square of "a is SIC. the square of
% is 625, the square of 26 is 676. the square
of q is 729, the square of 2S is ISL. the
square Of % is 8J1, the square of 80 is 900.
the square of 81 is 96l, the square of 80 is
1924, the square of 80 is 1859, the square
"a is 1,156, the square of IS is l ,225.
As the difference between what each
lady and her daughter paid is g. we must
select such numbers from the above table Of
squares that will conform with this copdi-
ton. Thus, We have GA and l. IA and 81.
1,04 and 96l, ard can have no others
The first lady paid "a her daughter paid
1-63.
The second lady paid IA her daughter
paid 81-63.
The third lady paid ,O24; her daughter
paid 96I-63
Hence, the first lady bought yards her
daughter bought yard. The second lady
bought II yards; her daughter bought 9
yards. The third lady bought 80 yards
her daughter bought 81 yards.
Jane bought % yards less that Mrs. A.
We cannot subtract % from or - but can
from 80, leaving a remainder of 9. Hence,
the third lady is Mrs. a., and the daughter
of the second lady is Jane. Again, Eliza
bought IL yards less than Mrs. H. We
cannot subtract II from 8, but can from IL,
leaving remainder of 1. Hence, the
second lady is Mrs. H., and the daughter of
the first is Eliza The first lady must be
Mrs. r., and the daughter of the third lady
must be Anne.
Hence, The first lady is Mrs R, and her
daughter is Eliza; the second lady is Mrs
H, and her daughter is Jane; the third
lady is Mrs. A, and her daughter is Anne.

Let us all remember, if we are Christians,

thee cradle hymn" and while six strong
men carry us out to our last resting place,

THE Globe reports that Hon. Johl

THE Globe reports that Hon. John S.
Pillsbury, who has heretofore been sup
posed to favor Gov. McGill's re-nomina-
ton, has expressed belief that Hon.
VIM. II. Merriam is the man for the Re-
publlcans to nominate. Everything of
Globe origin is 3D. unreliable that the
above can not be taken as confirmed
truth, but there is every reason to be-
heve that 80 weil-informed gentleman
as Mr.. Pillsbury must have learned by
this time of the almost unanimous senti-
ment which exists in many parts of the
State favorable to Merriam and which
presages that gentleman's nomination.
1t is therefore reasonable to suppose
that the report of Mr.. Pillsbury's pref
erence for Merriam is true. 1t is fact,
the truth of which very little investiga-
ton will prove, that in all of the coun-
ties in the southern and central portion
of the State, Merriam sentiment is not
only we'll defined, but is far in the lead
of that for McGill. There is universal
feeling that the party can not afford to
go into the campaign with candidate
who proved go weak on a former trial,
and McGill's support is confined to those
who have a personal or official motive
for favoring him. On the other hand
the people know Merriam has succeeded
in all his undertakings public and pri-
vate, and success counts for good deal.
They admire Instability and uprightness,
and are satisfied he would make strong
run, be elected and fill the executive
chair with honor to himself and the
State
