can policy Of Protection maintained are
still coming over to the Harrison stand

many more to follow. These men are

ing power than that OF patriotism. They
know that great question OF public
policy divides the two parties. They
conscienciously believe that the Repub-
lican side OF the question is the best for
them and their country. Asa rule they
are not politicians; they are business
men, farmers and workingmen who
never did hold office and never expect
to. This makes the great movement for
Harrison, Morton and Protection all tho
more significant. The Register, which is
given to grasping at straws, is frantically
irving to impress upon the Democratic
Protectionists OF Wheeling that the
Mills bill does not take the duty off any
thing that Wheeling produces. Grant
ing that this is true, it is the spirit OF the
bill that ProteCtionists object to. 1t is
the "frst firm step toward Iree trade"
and its success now would mean a
complete carrying out Of the Free Trade
scheme. Wheeling people have the
future; to look forward to as well as the
present to consider. Tho Mills bill
takes Protection from the products Of
the farm, from wool, from lumber, and
it strikes a blow at the pottery interests.
These things would affect Wheeling il
they werO allowed to become law.
Wheeling people are vitality interested
in the policy OF an Administration,
which, in tho language Of the London
Times, "means:ultimate Free Trade il it
means anything"

Observers Weekly Review Of tho Outlook
In tho State.
Not long since l referred to the inter
esting contest going on in both parties
for the State Authorship. In the Re
publican ranks tho candidates are max,
ing their canvass in good humored
way and no bitterness has developed,
all being in tho race to stay until the
Convention makes selection, and nil
resolved to abide gracefully by the re-
suit. This cannot DO said, with truth,
concerning the Democratic candidates
A very interesting phase OF the fight has
come to notice within the past few
weeks, and ono which involves, to q
certain extent, the prospects OF some oil
tho candidates for other State offices.
As the contest stands now it is the field
against the present incumbent, Pat
Duffy, and thereby hangs q brief but
affecting tale.

Delegates to the State Convention
have been selected in many counties.
In some instances they arc under in
struCtions for favorite sons who are can
didates for the various State Offices.
There are no indications that tho con-
vention will be any other than a harmo-
Nous body with tho good OF the State
and the Republican party at heart. 1t
will not be q cut-Rnd-dried affair, but q
deliberative body, and it is safe to pre-
dict that wise selections will be made.
A glance over the editorial columns Of
the Republican State papers is enough
to convince one that all are possessed
with harmony Of purpose and senti-
ment in this regard. OBSERVER.

there is n disposition to nominate the

that the party machinery is working

used for clec.ioncering purposes by
everybody from the Governor down;
how, while the legitimate business Of
the Board may have received some little
attention, the Governors Senatorial
fences have been looked after most care
fully and the boom for the four c8ndi-
dates above mentioned has been kept
inflated; how nearly every Democratic
sheriff is pulling the wires for Duffy;
how the whole power OF the administra-
ton has been used to down all parties
not in close harmony with it. As to the
sherihalty business, am told that Duffy
has made many enemies among the ex-
sherih's whom no pressed very hard for
settlements. His easier policy with the
present incumbents has secured for
him their support.

Something very interesting concern
ing the inside features of the various
combines could be written, but l will
leave that for another time. There is
one phase OF the fight, however, to
which itmight be well to refer. All the
other candidates and their friends are
indignant that the Wheeling Register,
which little more than year ago was
bitterly fighting the State Administra-
ton ring for the part it took in the de-
feat OF Camden, is now being used by
them as an organ. They do not under
stand the course OF the Register, and are
wonderingi it isn't another case OF "my
sympathies are with you, but the finan-
Cial necessities Of the Register compel mo
to take different course"
Sometime since lengthy interview
with ex-State Superintendent Free
Schools Byrne on the School Fund ap-
peared in the Register. The article was a
great big boost for Auditor Duffy, and
many Democratic newspapers have been
induced to copy II. Several other COM
plimentary publications about the Au.
,ditor and his companions in office have
been published, but in vain have the
other candidates and their friends en-
deayored to getso much asa paid commu-
nication in the paper. They have been
persistently made the victims OF this
discriminating "party organs" policy.

A Divers Fight with n Shark.

A diver named Quintreo had re-
marhable fight with a formidable fish
called the boultous or bondro, a kind
of shark, which infests the Breton coast.
at Douarnenez, the other day. Quin-
tree had narrow escape. The diver,
an old salt, was employed by the Gov
eminent, and in pursuit of his daily
labor duly descended. in diving appa-
ratus, of the Douarnenez pier for the
purpose Of laying the foundation of an
addition to that structure.
While he was at the bottom of the
sea the men who were working the air.
pump in the pontoon boat above were
suddenly frightened by feeling the
alarm signal. They Immediately pulled
up and brought large boultous, nearly
eight feet long to the surface. The
marine monsters head formed three
quarters of his length. and his under
jaws were of immense size. Shortly
afterward Quintree came up, his hand
on the air-pipe of his helmet and his
diving apparatus somewhat damaged.
When he went down to his work he
had scarcely got to the last rung of the
ladder when he saw the sea monster
lying between two huge Jumps of rock.
He had in his hands only his stone
chisel and hammer, and he intended
to go up for crowbar at once, but the
fish was too fast for him.
1t came toward him through the
green water with It's enormous Jaws
wide open. Without losing q moment
Quintree managed to wound the animal
in the throat with his chisel, and then
held it down on stone while he drew
his kni' e and made hole in its body
through which he passed rope, and
thus sent the fish to the surface. Had
it not been for his quickness and dex-
terity the diver, owing to the rents
which the fish would make in his appa-
ratus, would have been drowned and
then devoured. AS it happened, it was
the boultous that was not only defeated
but eaten, for its body was divided
among the victor and his comrades,
who made Observation-Disclosures of it's
prime parts.-Lonelo'a Telegraph.
