A STRANGE SPECTACLE,
Lights in the Form of Human
Hand Dismay the Superstitious.

a strange spectacle was visible in the
northern SKY at Findlay, Ohio, few nights
ago, which has caused the greatest consterna-
ton. 1t was the representation of human
hand of immense proportions. Early in the
evening the sky in the north had peculiar
look, which as the night wore on took the form
of flashes of light. becoming more brilliant and
unnatural as the night advanced. About II
O'Clock those watching the phenomenon were
terrified to see the plumes of light concentrat-
ing into distinct object, which soon
assumed the shape of a giants hand, well
formed, and as distinct as if painted
upon the black background of the sky
The hand appeared TO be q shadowy sub
stance, through which waves of light of
a blood red color surged as regularly as
heart beats in a human breast and then fell
off at the ends of the fingers in drops of the
same color, almost as large as hot air bal
looms. The first finger of the hand pointed
downward toward tt g sleeping city. as if
warning the people of some woe about to fall
on them. The spectacle lasted for about a
half hour, and was witnessed by hundreds
VINO were breathleSs with excitement, until
SLOWLY 1t began to fade away and finally dis
appeared.

abolished or modified, let it be done on whiskey and tobacco, on rum and bogus butter, but not one cent must be taken from the necessaries of life. The public be d-d.; there is room in this modern republican policy only for monopolists, capitalists and bondholders.
 What sublime spectacle, this republi- can monstrosity! What strange contrast to the doctrines and policies that animated Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses s. Grant and Chester A. Arthur! The republican pl at form on which the republican party now stands before the American people is a farce and fraud it is wicked and dangerous instrument. If the policy out lined therein were foistsd on the American people it would start them on the road to eventual industrial and governmental ruin. The voters should remember this plat form. They should remember the party that gave it birth, and when they come to cast their ballots bury both so deep that they will be forever beyond the hope of resurrection.

Effect of Waist ReIts.

The effect of waist belts upon the work done by healthy heart has been accurately studied by means of an instrument called & cardiometer. Experiments upon dog showed that with but a little pressure upon the abdomen the abdominal vessels are capable of containing all and more than all the blood in the organism. Slight compres- sion of the abdomen will, without disturbing the arterial supply, drive out from the ab- dominal veins and venous capillaries large amount of bloodI and this blood so driven out will, as long as the compression con- tinues, be of use for the other regions of the body-for the brain, muscles, etc. Flaccid abdominal walls are from various circum- stances rather the rule than the exception in the gentler sex, and, among men, occur in those leading sedentary lives devoid of ex- ercise. We are, therefore, brought to con- clude that among women some form of waist belt is very advantageous. Moderate con- striction does no harm.-New York Sun.

The Corner Drug Store.

Why is it that people select the corner drug store a sort of trysting place9 The man who arranges to meet his wife down town says he will meet her at So-and-So's drug store at a certain hour. Matinee girls meet their friends amid the assorted odors of the pharmacy, and the patient and long suffering drug clerk is often intrusted with both dis appointing and happy messages, Drop into any one of the big corner drug stores about 8 o'clock on any pleasant afternoon, and you will find the chairs occupied by anxious look ing females, who glue their eyes upon the door and vigorously munch chewing gum, awaiting the advent of an expected one. A masculine shadow upon the threshold causes the fair walters to start with anticipation. One of them probably trips forward the shadow materializes and she recognizes her friend. The others sink back and reglue their eyes upon the door, It is quite q study. Some unfortunate may be late If he is he approaches with faltering step and tongue loaded with excuses to meet the glance ot flashing eyes and the spiteful stamp of a pretty foot. That Is his wife. If the waiter looks happy and accepts his excuses they ars not yet married. You can always tell-Chi cago News

LABOR MUST TAKE X HAND.

Labor has an important part in this cam paign; the result will have much to do with its interests for better or worse. If the democratic party wins it will be for better; if the republicans win it will be for worse. The vexed problem that is before the country for solution, and which will be decided to some extent by the popular will expressed at the ballot box, will be un- raveled best by stability in industrial in terests, insuring permanent employment for all branches of labor, and conse quently enhancing its value, enabling it to com mand the highest price for it's services by creating demand in excess of the supply. With the labor element-the producing force of wealth-steadily employed at good wages, the community will be prosperous and c.ntented. Such condition will come with industrial stability.
 High protection, high taxes on articles of ordinary use and the crude commodities of manufacture, las operated to prevent stability, creating instead, by the false stimulus artiicially applied, violent fuc- tuations, uncertainty, alternate imitation and contraction in everything, the unnatural obtaining in everything until, from the industrial field, it has en- tered into and yitiated our social and moral spheres. Class, established as the ruling in fuence on democratic soil, is now indulg | ing, to the very verge of profigacy,in en7 | joyments purchased with the money wrung through the aid of the law, isniquitously invoked, from the toiling millions. Such has been the rule and result of republican high protection-spasmodic activity, al ternate periods of energy and depression few years of extraordinary push during which the surplus energies of labor have been whipped in to fill the demand at the cheapest cost, followed by more than double years of suspension and idleness during which labor may scratch and suffer and starve. Such has been the history ot will be in greater degree if these needless burdens are kept on the people The period of the trust and combine, the poo and syndicate-the harvest time of mo nopoly aad greed and grasp-is made the richer the higher the Chinese wall of pro lection is reared about the land.
 We have remedy for all this in tn. policy of President Cleveland and the dem ocratic party. Stability, steadier employ ment, good wages, steadier business witl fair profits and cheaper living, are tht results that will flow, naturally, spon
 
 taneouslyEand legitimately, from a system of lower taxes and free trade in raw ma terials. Shall not labor, by its action a the ballot box, contribute its mite to tn inauguration and consummation of thes blessed results? Our labor is the most in telligent on the face of Gods earth, and i may be expected next month to pronounc for system and policy that is fraugh } with the highest blessings to itself.
 It is labor's fight in this campaign, ant by it's political action will it gain or lose

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.


 AS the time draws nearer when the people will declare for policy of government for the next four years, the remarkable plat form adopted at Chicago should not be forgo tten. In view of the senate tariff bil and its practical admission that reduc- tion of the revenues is needed, the plat form might disappear from the public view if it were not called up for occasional review The democrats could never con sent to allow it to rest in absolute ob- scurity.
 The complete somersault which the plat form makes for the party on the currency question is of comparatively insignificant consequence when entrusted with the policy of continued heavy taxation that is it's chief and crowning glory The design of this taxation is the promotion of special interests. In order to give excuse for the continuance of bur densome taxation, ,extravagant expenditures and squandering schemes are urged Ex- cessive taxation for lavish outlay that's the republican policy in nutshell. That's the whole gist, the very essence of the l Chicago platform. Was ever such a policy proposed to civilized and intelli- gent people Economy and prudence have been recognized as the foundation stones of all righteous government since the art of government was known, the basis on which has been reared the fabl ic of pop ular approval. Yet here economy and prudence are abandoned openly, fragrant ly and inexcusably. The aim of the party as expressed by the platform is not to hus- band resources it is to spend them with the most lavish prodigality possible, and this openly, osten- sibly, avowedly that there may be a larger opportunity to tax the people, Ultra -bourbonism it has been called by a noted student of political economy, but it goes beyond what may be conceived as the very highest ideal of bourbonisu,. It has no precedent in the political history of this or any other country. With tariff 50 per cent higher than it was fifty years ago, with millions of the peoples money locked up in the national treasury, every effort to effect more equitable adjustment is resisted with the grim energy of a giant desptic. Higher duties, more taxation, in creased expenditures is the cry in order that special privileges may be continued under unequal legislation. Not an article in ordinary use among the people is, ao- cording to this modern profession of re- } publicanism, to be relieved from taxation. Wool, lumber, salt, the raw materials of manufacture, even sugar-every one is to be taxed, and if need be taxed higher than it is already. If taxation must be

THE 1REPAN1IER CASE.

The arrest of young Trepannier will con- vey a salutary warning to those who may be disposed to violate the laws of registra- tion. It may be possible-indeed, it is quite probable-that his offense was the result of ignorance; but ignorance of the law, and particularly the sacred laws per taining to American citizenship, does not and should not excuse. If young Trepan- nier could swear falsely to his age and violate the law with impunity, it is quite natural to suppose that his example would incite others who may be less honest and well-meaning than he is claimed to be to initiate his actions. and be invested with the prerogatives of citizenship when in fact they have no right or title thereto. And precedents that are painfully numerous justify the suspicion that the republican managers would work the fraud in other cases if it were successful in this. Their zeal will, however, be very effectually abated by the summary fate that has be fallen Trepannier.
 We are sorry for MT Trepannier-sorry that he should have put the stain of per jury upon character that has hitherto been held blameless, and sincerely sorry that in his excess of zeal to become al American citizen he should have involved himself seriously in the meshes of the law If the extenuating circumstances tha may be pleaded in his case should secure merciful consideration at the bar of justice his nearest friends will feel no better pleased than those whose sworn duty it ii to guard the sanctity of the franchise.

SIR LAUNCELOT.

Near Camelot the rivers meet
 The lane where once he rode with her; He rides and sees dull wind stir The pallid waters at his feet He heGlrs the windless thickets stirred By some wild creature. Der the grass He sees the hawks gray shadow pass, Yet knows it not from leaf or bird. For be has come where fancies reign; Now though he fees he soon returns; Like flames his heart within him burns; His mind is Uke turning yane- In crypts he vainly tries to pray;
 There troop the burdens of gay songs; In crowded inns he jests of wrongs; But feels his great heart giving way. His soul is like hunted thing
 'Twixt hell and heaven. Each kiss that dreS Their lips together thrills anew, And then become serpent's sting.

If the case of young Trepannier shall deter others from violating the law, it will not have been without it's fruit. The effort of the republicans to make political capital out of the arrest will fail fiat for the fellow-countrymen of young Trepannier and foreign born citizens generally in the community will not sanction violation of the law even to please interruptions party YoapaoarS
