SPEAKER CARLISLE evidently believes
that there is something in the Thoebe
contest after all. The statement of
Thoebe, before the House Committee on
Elections, that Al. Cariisle's friends had
changed the result by holding new cleo
tions in the back counties of the district
the day after the regular election, and
that all the polling lists from every pre-
cinct but one in a certain county were
written by one and the same man, has
opened the eyes of tie great free trader
His request for Il weeks time to file
atfidavits denying the statements Of
ThCebe shows that he is anxious about
his s .at. We have no doubt that there
were gross Irregularities on the part of
the Democrats in that election, and were
there Republican majority in the
House it is possible that Carlisle
would be unscated But with a Demo-
cratic Committee on elections and a
Democratic majority to back up its de-
cision, Thoebe can hope for nothing in
the shape of iustice.-CleU. Leader.

MAINTAIN THE CANALS.
Cincinnati Times Ear

ndT
1t does not require long search in
Columbus to detect the presence of the
anti-canal contingent. There are two
things of which this railroad lobby has
never been accused; one is, modeSty, and
the other is, failure TO be on hand az the
precise moment announced for business
to begin. Session after session these
fellows gather, and lose no time in ply
ing their arts. They are apparently in
capable of Encouragement. We regret
to say that the canal-grabbers seem to
have made some progress during the last
two winters; and it is therefore reasona-
bic to expect more vigorous effort on
their part this session than ever. They
will offer the old argument, that main
tanning the canals is a useless expense to
the State, and win show by the report of
receipts and expenditures a deficit for
the past year. A good many members
representingno-canalc counties will doubt
less be ready, as usual, to give the grab
bers their valuable assistance.
But it is hardly probable that the Leg
islature will be bamboozled on the canal
question. Against the fact of deficit
of S75,513 in 1887 stands the showing
that this is less by $4,000 than the def
cit of 1886. And Gov. Foraker, in his
message, suggests two considerations
which must have weight with every fair
minded member of the General Assem-
bly,. That the canals have been bur
den, he explains, is largely the result of
doubt and uncertainty as to the policy
to be pursued with respect to them. In
proportion as the idea has prevailed that
they were to be abandoned, the develop
ment of business upon them has been
discouraged, and they have been neg
lected and allowed to fall into bad re-
pair, while on the other hand, The re-
cent revival of sentiment in favor of
maintaining and improving them has
had the opposite effect" As proof of
this latter statement he calls attention
to the increase of gross receipts and the
decrease Of expenditures last. year.
There are sound reasons for the opinion
held by the State Engineer and the
Board of Public Works that the canal
property would be profit paying in a few
years if it were swell understood that
the canals were to be maintained and
cared for" Another strong point
though not new one-is thus urged by
the Governor: sit should be remem-
bered that they (the canals) exert a
wholesome influence upon the rates of
freight transportation that reaches far
beyond the business they do and the
localities through which they pass"
There can be no doubt about the COM
mercial importance of tow-line with
a canal-boat at one end and mule at
the other end This combination is an
effective regulator of railroad freight
rates.
If the Legislature has proper regard
for party interests and the public well
fare it will defeat every scheme which
might impair the usefulness of the
canal system.

RAW WOOL ON THE FREE LIST.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 10.-The Ecen.
ing Journal publishes to-day replies
from about score of wool manufactur-
ers doing business within radius of
one hundred miles of Albany as to the
Presidents recommendations to put raw
wool on the free list. With one excep-
ton replies are against the change. Al
most unanimously they maintain that
abolition of the tariff on wool would
soon be followed by movement to
abolish the tariff on manufactured wool
en- goods. There is some difference of
opinion as to the question whether
farmers would kill off their sheep in the
event of the abolition of the wool tariff.
Most of the manufacturers agree that
the sheep industry would receive a Sc
rious blow should the tariff be abolished
AS to lowering the price of wool, manu-
facturerS generally agree that the aboli-
tion of the tariff might have this effect
for few months, but that it would not
be permanent reduction. The general
opinion among them is that they could
not successfully continue business with
the present scales of wages if the tariff
on raw and manufactured woods were
removed or materially reduced,

THE Republican club of St CIairSyille
jumps on the boiling Senators with all
of its four feet. This intensely loyal
club is, we suppose, largely made up of
the amiable political cut-throats who
have for years helped to make Republi-
can county tickets and at the election
helped to elect Democratic candidates.
Now, these same truly loyal gentlemen
with their hands and garments still red
with the blood of their political brothers,
denounce boiling, which is done in broad
daylight and by Republicans whose 10y

AN UNAssAILABLE RECORD.

Cincinnati Times-Star.
1t was one of the campaign cries of
our esteemed friends, the enemy, that
two years of Republican control had
been damaging to the State Institutions
Not only did the Democratic press and
orators contend that the character of Of
ficials had deteriorated and the service
become far less efficient, but it was also
asserted that there was extravaganza in
the management of some Of these insti-
tutions. During almost the entire sum-
mer the changes were rung on such ae-
cusations, to diseredit the AdminiStra-
ton of Gov. Foraker and if possible de-
feat him at the polls. But the distort-
ing of facts and the juggling of figures
failed signally of their purpose.
If any further evidence than what
was presented by the Governor in the
campaign were needed to show that pub
lie institutions have been wisely man
aged, it is furnished in the annual re-
ports now before the General Assembly.
Gov. Foraker briefly refers to these in
his message and makes this general
comment on the work done: "YOu viii
observe that their financial statements
show commendable economy, and the
most faithful accounting for every dol
lar appropriated fer their benefit. The
Penitentiary continues to be more than
self-sustaining, while the per capita cost
of supporting the inmates of the other
institutions has been largely reduced as
compared with former years"
Here is an exhibition of practical re-
form. 1t represents promises fulfilled
to the letter. And what renders this
record the more deserving of high praise
is that when the Republicans came into
power they found extravaganza every
where, with utter Generalization as the
rule and honesty the exception.

sailor oorralIed by sharl,s.

A dinghy with grass from Dwarka foun-
dered not very far from Bate, port on the
Clutch coast, while she was on her way to
karachi, when the crew, consisting of seven,
took to the mast, which had unshipped. At
the time she fOundered the vessel was very
close to the shore, and the crew were grad
ually working their way toward the beach
when one of their number was heard to
shrek, and Immediately disappeared, ana
the others, to their horror, realized that they
were surrounded by sharks, with no means
Of escaping, as the mast not only gave with
their weight, but could not be kept steady
on account Of the rough state Of the sea.
The men were in a state Of anxiety and fear,
not knowing whose turn would come next.
One by one the men suddenly disappeared,
until only one remained, and by this time,
the storm having subsided, he managed to
balance himself steadily on the mast, which
drifted toward the beach on the following
day. He was thus tossed about upon the
sea, expecting every moment to be his last,
for two days and a night.-London Times.

Slave Trnmo I'm Africa.

The latest accounts from the east coast Of
Africa leave no room for doubt that large
numbers of slaves drawn from the Lake Nv
assa district are now regularly exported to
Madagascar. A recent eye witness of some
of the atrocities committed by the Arabs
states that they have no regard for human
life or suffering. Large numbers of kid
naped villagers who are taken to the ports
on the coast are conveyed in dhows to Mad
agascar. Mojanga is the headquarters of
this nefarious traffic, and there is too much
reason to believe that few Europeans as
well as a large number of British Indians are
concerned in these ventures Being well
acquainted with the movements Of the ships
of war; the foreigners at Mojanga are always
able to warn their Salzalva or Arab accom-
plices of impending danger The Hova
authorities are bound by treaty to prevent
the landing of slaves, and it would be intor-
esting to know what reasons they give for
relaxing their vigilance. There is a general
opinion that things will not improve until a
greater amount Of consular supervision Is
exercised on the west coast of Madagascar.

crematIon Of the KIng,s SONS.

From Siam we learn that the cremation of
the two sons Of the king, which was "cele-
brated" at the end Of February, was a cere-
mony eclipsing in magnifcence even that Of
the kings uncle, whose body was cremated
last year. On that occasion the chief features
of the proceedings were illustrated in Lon
don pictorial weekly, but the present occa-
sion seems to havo passed unnoticed For
fifteen days Bangkok was given up to rev.
elry. No work was done, and such amuse-
ments as fireworks, illuminations and inter
minable dramatic performances were pro
vided nightly and kept up till . Or 8 O'Clock
a. m.
The building in which the cremation was
effected had been erected at a cost exceeding
e50,000, fact which, as it is now being de-
molished, as having served its purpose, shows
muniicenee, if not extravaganza. Ex-
ternally this ''premane" presented the ap-
pearance of a palace Of gold, so gorgeous
was its ornamentation, and internally its
chief feature was the electric light with
which it was illuminated throughout. There
were two separate cremation days during the
fortnight, and the final procession for each
was so long that it occupied over an hour in
passing fixed point. Siamese funerals may
be expensive ceremonies, but at least they
cannot be called lugubrious.-Pall Mall Ca

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conelusively that more
persons die from diseases Of the throat and
lungs than any other. It is probable that
every one, without exception, receives vast
numbers Of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable
soil they start into life and develop, at first
slowly, and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and if allowed to con-
tiuue their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing consumption, and to the head,
causing catarrh Now all this is dangerous,
and if allowed to proceed will in time cause
death. AT the onset you must act with
promptness, allowing a cold to go without

Charles Eliot Norton is pessimistic. As
compared with century ago he says that
"there is proportionately less solid learning,
less zeal and ardor for the best attainable
culture, less earnest STRIVING for the real
bread Of life. What is called popular educa-
tion is perhaps sufficient for the mere busi-
ness of life, for the pracuice of the arts Of
livelihood, but not broad enough to disci-
pline and enlarge the mind, cultivate the
