How Long Can it Last.
New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
1t has been claimed in a wild sort
of way that the present generation of
men will never see another Demo-
cratic President, and that the Repub-
licans will be able to maintain con-
troll of the century. Let us look into
this a little.
Today, despite its success, the Re-
publican party is a thing of shreds
and patches. 1t has no principles
that are truly national, and indeed,
no genuine principles at all. 1t had
no foundation except expediency. 1t
played into the hands of the Prohi-
bitionists and the labor organizations
when it suited, and fought them else
where as the eXigencies of the occa-
sion demanded. But more than any
thing else it relied upon the backing
of capital and great corporations. 1t
is the party of money and monopoly,
and it must gravitate closer to them,
until finally it will crystalline around
them as the forces that give it life.
A party dependent for its existence
on the money power must constantly
grow farther away from the people
until it will be necessarily arrayed
against the people. 1t cannot reduce
taxation, for its policy of greed will
require a large revenue, and no mat
ter how great it may be there will be
no surplus. 1t will start out as dis
penser of bounty. Pensions will be
voted broadcast and every scheme to
spend money will find favor. There
fore it will commence the lease of
power by scattering gold to the mob.
1t will end by estranging the people
who are the real bearers of the bur-
dens imposed by this prInce-in-the-
fairy-tale policy of bestowing boun-
ties ON all corners.
The great corporations and capital
lists who poured out money like wa
ter to secure this triumph will enjoy
the greatest benefits while the people
will be forced to pay for them. This
will be carried to such an extent that
the people will be driven into an OPP
position which the Democratic party
will furnish and the result will be
that, like the false prophet pictured
in the Apocalypse, the Republican
domination will be torn in pieces by
those who set it up and gave it pow
er.
The Republican party, a thing Of
eXpediency and time-serving, cannot
in the very nature Of its constitution
last long. 1t may survive four years
of conflict with its own internal disor.
ganizing forces, but two terms OF
national control will be too much fol
it. The seeds of mortality are in it:
own body. They will do their work
surely and speedily. Let us have
patience for little space and we will
see the end Of this patchwork mon

Is Cheap Quinine a Blessing.

The Medical Record is not so sure
that cheap quinine is such an I'M
alleged blessing. 1t has come about
that nearly every family now has its
quinine bottle, that it is sold at many
general stores, and that the doctor
rarely meets an invalid who has not
been thoroughly dosed with quinine.
The drug, when taken continuously
or excessively, is an injurious one
and its therapeutic value is greatly
exaggerated in the popular mind.
The value Of quinine in "colds, "
bronchitis, ephemeral fevers, ano-
rexia, general malaise, and various
other minor ills, the editor thinks, is
most problematical.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Peoples Among Whom He Is Regarded as
Disreputable Parsonage.

Peoples Among Whom He Is Regarded as
Disreputable Parsonage.
1t is stated in the Primitive People,
OF Enlargement, that, before the moon
gave light, New Zealander, named
Roma, went out in the night to fetch
some water from the we'll; but he UNI
fortunately stumbled and sprained his
ankle so that he was unable to return
home. All at once, as he cried out for
very anguish, he beheld with fear and
horror that the moon, suddenly becom-
ing visible, descended towards him.
He seized hold OF a tree and chung to it
for safety; but it gave way and fell
with Roma upon the moon, and he re-
mains there to this day.
In the Church Missionary Intelligent
Ger for November, 1858, Mr., William, a
missionary among the Creek Indians,
reports legendary tale related to him
by the chief of the tribe This is the
place where our forefathers lived, and
they told us something we want to tell
you. The story is as follows: One
night child of the chief class awoke
and cried for water. Its cries were
very affecting. Mother, give me to
drink! but the mother needed not.
The moon was affected, and came
down, saying: Here is water from
Heaven; drink The child anxiously
laid hold of the pot, and drank the
draught, and was enticed to go away
with the moon, its benefactor. They
took an underground passage till they
got quite clear of the village, and then
assembled to Heaven; and our fore
fathers tell us that the figure we now
see in the moon is that very child, and
that the round jug appears there also. u
1t might be mentioned here that
Aquarius is ever delineated with a
round water jar, both by the Egyptians
and Greeks, from which de.
sends crystal stream upon the
earth. According to Thorp one OF
the Runic legends represents the
man in the moon of gigantic
stature, who while the tide is flowing
in stands in STOPPING position taking
up the waters and pouring them out
upon the earth; but at the ebb of the
tide he stands erect and rests from his
labors, thus permitting the waters to
subside.
Among nearly all peoples where the
original idea of the man in the moon as
water-bearer has been lost by the de.
generacy of their myth-ideas he is con
sidered a rather disreputable person
age, If not a thief, he is something
worse. Thus the aboriginal tribes il
America, from as far South as Panama
to the Eastern coast of Labrador, anC
even in Greenland, have a tradition
that the man in the moon was guilty O.
gross misconduct towards his eldes
sister. the sun, and that, therefore, hi
| has lost his taper, and is cold and darl
except when she turns toward him
Another story is that he chases hi
sister, the sun, around with the hope
of catching up with her, until at last
weary and hungry, he leaves for a few
days to hunt seals, in which occupation
he is so successful that he soon fatten
prodigiously and becomes again full
and round.-Home knowledge.

OWN YOUR HOMES.
A Duty Which Every Married Man Owes
to His Family.

Duty Which Every Married Man Owes
to His Family.
Every man, whether he is working
man in the common acceptation of the
word or not, feels deep interest in the
management of the affairs of the city,
county and State IN which he lives
wherever he owns a home. He is more
patriotic, and in many ways is better
citizen, than the man who simply rents,
and who has but little if any, assur-
ance of how long it will be before he
can be ordered to move; to which may
be added in many cases tho saving of
more money.
OF course it requires some economy
to lay up a sufficient amount of money
to purchase and pay for home, but
this very fact, if properly carried out
after the home is acquired, may be the
instrument of furnishing the means to
commence and prosecute business
upon your own responsibility.
True, in some cases, it
will require more economy, per-
haps, than we are now practising. But
the question with every man, and es-
pecially if he is the head of a family,
is, can he afford it? That is, can he
afford to live up to his wages as fast as
he earns them, without laying up any
thing for the future?
If he is the head of family, he is
obliged to pay rent and it does not re-
quire very many years of rent paying
to make up an amount sufficient to
purchase and pay for comfortable
home. You have to pay rent. This
you say you can not avoid and be
honest, Well, you can not be honest
with your family unless you make a
reasonable attempt to provide them a
home of their own in case any thing
should happen toyou.
And the obligation to do this should
be as strong as the one to pay rent or
provide the other necessaries for the
comfort of your family. When you
own a home you will feel direct in
terest in public affairs that otherwise
you might consider were of little in
terest. Building Ne10S.

TisE FISH INDUSTRY.
ITS IMPORTANCE TO PUGET SOUND AND
PORT TOWNSEND.

The fish industry on the Pacific coast
is yet very yonng and undeveloped.
The question of the day ought to be
shall 1t die in infancy or shall 1t excel
the Atlantic coast? Are tue people of
Puget Sound aware what fish business
means to help their prosperous country?
1t means an increase of at least ten to
fifteen thousand population; it means,
not only Thousands but millions of dol
lars yearly, drawn from the depths of the
ocean, and scattered with free hand; il
means other industries. Every eight or
ten vessels want their own whnrfs, with
the necessary buildings and fake yards,
where will be seen busy NEIL, wheeling,
spreading and turning fish, in order to
get them dry, some ready to ship, others
for smoking. -'-----''---s-
One or two large buildings on each
wharf are used for skinnIng, cutting and
pressing fish into blocks, which are
packed in labelled boxes ready for ship
ment. This labor is performed by
youngs boys and girls. who have a
chance. if smart, to earn from ten to
twenty dollars a week. Next come the
box factories, the cooperiDg shops, the
sail lofts, the net, twine and cotton line
factories, manila, cable and rope walks,
which viii give employment to hundreds.
Anchor works, whose heavy seam ham,
mers are heard humping night and day.
will also have a corner set aside in a city
where the fish industry thrives.
The salmon fisheries and canneries
must not be forgotten; nor the sard inc
factories, as the Puget Sound waters are
brimming over with these delicious fish.
The herring fishery, if also profitable,
thousands OF barrels can be- caught
yearly and salted for certain markets,
besides what is consumed fresh. The
demand ID also great for smoked herring.
/ Halibut, as We know. are iBexhausti-
BILE in these northern waters, and many
large cities in the eastern states are al
ready depending on a large portion of
their fresh supply from the Pacific coast.
In few years smoked halibut will
carry the Pacific brands all over the
country; the Goldfish from Okhotsh Sea,
Behring Sea and Alaska, are also Ger
tain to carry II label of Some fancy brand
from Pnget Sound. IF some thrifty men
would take the whale fishery into C IN
sideratIon, tLey would find it as profit
able as 1t is in other places. Steam
whhlers can be bui Hs cheapiy here As
elsewhere.
The fur seal fishery will not ALWAYS be
monopolizad by large companies; when
the New England fishermen get we'll un-
der way in their business. they will have
good share in this industry.
Fuur or five hundred sea-ntter az ins
would look az nicely landed from a
''saucy looking" schouners as they wonld
from a steamship belonging to scme fur
Company.
The actual value "f furs taken from
these northern waters is known only to
members of the company, therefore, il
cannot he estimated; but the actual val
ue of fish canght and sold ip the city OF
Gloucester, Mass. ia the year 1887, is as
