II took the Republican Convention siS
DAYS TO make a Presidential ticket, and
aiter all, 1t seems that the work will have
to be done over again, for the record shows
that 1t nominated "free-trader" for Vice
President. On the 9th OF April, 1880. Mr.
Townslend, Democrat and "free-trader,'
moved to suspend the rules and pass the
following bill:
That section 25O3, 25O4, and25O5 Of title
80: Of the Revised Slatnies Of the United
States be revised and amended no that the
duty on salt, ,priniing-type, printing-paper
ani the chemicals and materials used In
the manufacture Of printing-paper. be re
lied, and that said articles be placed on
the free list.
This is nothing more nor less than mn
assault upon The protective system,
which every friend of American labor"
was bound 10 oppose with nil his might,
and yet among the yeas, along with Auch
names M Morrison and Mills, one finds
recorded that OF Levi p. Morton. The
Republican party has thus nominated Tor
Vice President man who has declared
himself in favor OF free sault and free raw
material, In preference to free whiskey.-

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS
The Nav Ynrk Glnha

Everyone comedies that the candidates
nominated for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency by the Republicans, are, like
the Democratic candidates for those Offices
men of character and ability, though no
one, we fancy, would rank Gen. Harrison
in point OF ability with Mr.. Cleveland, or
Mr.. Morton with Judge Thurman. They
are, nevertheless, abundantly qualified 10
discharge satisfactorily the duties of the
great Offices TO which their party proposes
to elect them, and the country may we'll
congratulate itself that, however the cleo
tion may result, the Government will be
honestly and efficiently administered
This ia rs it always should be. But 1t
is particularly fortunate that tins is so
now, when Issues of the graves, import
ance have TO be cosidered, and decided by
the people.
As Mr.. Cleveland pointed out in his / asl
annual message to Congress, and ms each
OF the great parties have recognized in its
platforms, the very existsnce of great
surplus in the Treasury is an unmitigated
evil, one which, in the words of Judge
Thurman, SIS not only prejudicial 10 our
financial welfare, but in high degree
dangerons 10 honest and constitutional
government"
How to dispose Of the existing surplus
and how TO prevent its farther accumula-
lion Is the one important question which
the Two parties have submitted 10 the
American people. The Democrats propose
to accomplish these results by reducing
the average tax on imported goods from AZ
per cent. Of the ir value, which is the rate
under the present tariff, to about 40 per
cent. The Republicans propose to nc
compl'sh the same result by granting pen
slons to every man who, during the war,
served one day, or lunger. in the Union
army or navy, and by liberal expenditures
In public works and IN other directions
and, II these expenditures should fail to
exhaust the supplies, and consume the in.
ereasing revenues, then to Iedncc the rev.
enue by raiaing the dulies on imported
goods 10 IA 10 ainke many Of the duties

they need to be thoroughly discussed, we'll

Catching Fish i'm Georgia.

Mr.. Hatcher says: Whenever l felt
as if | wanted trout for dinner L
would stroll over to the pond and
bring one down or up with my rifle.
Between IL and y o'clock at midday
are the hours when they can be shot,
as for some unexplained reason they
come up near the surface. l always
aim for the head. No, the ball never
penetrates the head or any portion of
the fish. 1t is seldom that even Il scale
is disturbed. The rifle ball never
touches them. They are killed APP
parently by conclusion. The water, |
think, tlattens the ball. Immediately
upon being shot they rise to the sur
face, floating upon their backs. l never
take the trouble to fish with Il hook,
preferring my rifle Mr.. Mcclellan
recently noticed that the fish were
dying by hundreds and rising to the
surface. He had the pond dragged
and brought out from it fully five hun
dred dead trout or black bass. At least
one hundred of them would weigh
thrown upon the bank and the buzzards
feasted upon fish. 1t is suspected that
persons to whom the owner of the pond
had refused the right to fish from it
had poisoned its water and with it
the finny life with which it teemed.
A lazy but unlawful method of OBJ
tanning fish from the ponds was once
quite common among negroes and
others. This was stupefying or drug
ging the fish by means of some mar
cotic plants. The favorite growth for
this purpose was the devils shoe-string,
a small plant with extremely long,
tough, and slender roots. This queer
plant, with its uncanny name was
much used by the Indians as a medicine,
and is said to be the basis for several
blood purifiers with long and alliter-
ative names. A plentiful supply of the
plant being obtained the negro finds a
log which projects well out into the
water, and getting astride of it dips it
in and alternately beats it with stick
or paddle. After every good beating
it is shaken about in the water and the
supply replenished, and this continued
until the pond is thoroughly impreg-
mated with the singular properties of
the weed. The fish soon commence
rising to the surface and gasping for
breath. A few faint struggles follow
and then the fish lie helpless and inert
upon the surface only to be gathered
in and serve as meal. 1t is said that
the meat is not at all affected by. the
treatment the fish have undergone, but
it is with considerable squeamishness
and trepidation that person for the
first time dimes upon poisoned OF nar-
cotiZed fish.
