BARRIs0N,S ELECTION.

Inc Democrats sustained tre-
mendous defeat in the Presidential
election last week, losing New York
and Indiana and d number of Con-
gressmen.
Gen. Harrison's election, it is
claimed, was due to President Cleve-
lands tariff message, which was tor
tured and twisted by the Republi-
cans into ''free trade" and made to
serve wicked purpose in deceiying
the masses, who were controlled
more by passion and prejudice, than
by reason and common sense. Tar
if reform is not free trade, for there
is no such thing as absolute free
trade in this country and never can
be, but reduction of taxation on
the necessaries of life, urged by the
President in order that the surplus,
piled up in the vaults of the treasu-
ry at Washington, might be reduced,
was sound in theory and right in
principle.
This policy formulated by Presi-
dent Cleveland impressed itself up
on the country, and we believe it
will ultimately prevail in the future
Legislation of Congress, not as free
trade, but in the reduction of the
surplus by lessening taxes.
We believe General Harrison
will make good President. Dur
ing the campaign there was nothing
charged damaging to his character.
We believe he has the elements in
him to give the country a wise and
safe administration, but not more SO
than has characterized the admins
tration of President Cleveland, for
he has made the best President the
country has had since the war.
While the election of a Republi-
can President casts a gloom over
the South, and fills the Southern
heart with grave apprehensions Of
inimical legislation that will humil-
late the Southern people, we coun-
sci our people not to be dishearten-
ed, but resolve to stand shoulder tic

FIGS AS A FOOD.
The Most Nutritious of All Fruits Except
the Olive.

One of the Persian Kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs 10 be set before
him whenever he dined, for one reason
to remind him that the land where they
grew was not yet his and that, instead
OF receiving the fruit rs a tribute, he
was obliged TO buy it from abroad; and,
for another, that it was not only the
emblem OF health, but the most whole
some fruit grown. The fig is now pret-
ty well known to be, especially at GER
tain seasons, almost the common food
OF the Italian people; and for months
they may be said to live entirely upon
them. 1t is not the superhuous, tho
luxurious; and thus, as DIR. Nichols
says, II is not only possible for man TO
live upon figs, but that, sitting under
his own vine and fig tree, a man would
have plenty OF food and no landlord.
When eaten fresh, it is medicine as
well MS food; and they who eat them
freely need no potions and no
aperients. Full Of nutrition and all

as an article Of diet we are confident
that the fig will take n prominent posi-
tion in the estimation of all who work
for and believe in food reform. For my
self, j would simply add that, again and
again, without liquid Of any kind, the
luscious green fig, eaten with whole
meal bread, has formed dish at once
simple but rich, and, like the Span
iard's salad, fit for king. The fig is
not only very popular, but IL is the
most ancient fruit we cultivate. In
many countries the failure OF this crop
also means starvation and famine
Travellers in Asia Minor and southern
Europe provide themselves with figs
and olives as provisions for long jour-
neys, and not only live, but grow fat on

properties and more nutriment than
any other fruit with the exception of

DEATH IN A MINE.
Fatal Explosion In a Pennsylvania Goa
x llled.

fbtnl Explosion IN a 49,
M;ne-Seventeen Killed.
LICK HAVEN, Pa, Nov. 5.-In the Kettle
Creek Coal Mining Company's mines,
thirty miles west of this city, which were
but recently opened, Saturday night an
explosion occurred in new drift In wnleh
| twenty -one persons were at Work. Az
soon as possible the mine was entered and
fifteen dead bodies were carried out ana
four others badly injured were found, one
of whom has since died, and others are
likely to die. The cause Of the exp
is unknown, hut 1t is supposed to have
been the striking of fssure or pocket OF
gas. Yesterday afternoon the dishgured
and naked body OF a miner was found
fifty feet from the mouth of the air SHAFT
through which it had been blown.
Superintendent George d. Miller upon
hearing n heavy report at the new No
drift went to the spot and at once saw that
| a violent explosion had taken place. The
necessary yarrangemen were quickly made
to carry the air to the face of the work
and men entered the mine to learn what
bad occurred. OF the twenty zone men
who had been working in the drift only
three or four escaped death or injury. At
the end Of an hours hard work fourteen
dead bodies had been recovered frem the
drift and two OF those who were injured
subsequently died. One man was missing
and his remains were found out in the
woods, where they had been blown by the
force OF the explosion through the air
shaft.
The total number of killed or fatally in
jured was found to be seventeen. All but
four OF them were Hungarians or Italians
whose names are not known. The four
English speaking men are named Samuel
killinger, Patrick Donnell, Michael Currin
and j. L. Cariston. The driver J. Farrell,
was entering the drift when the explosion
occurred, but was thrown toward the
mouth and escaped. His mule was killed.
The force of the explosion was shown in
the fact that bodies were blown clear out
of the mouth of the drift. Every thing
possible was done for the injured by the
mine physicians, and the bodies Of the
dead were taken charge of by an UNDER
taker and prepared for interment. The
coroner of the county was notified and
will hold an inquest.
1t is thought that in making a blast a
"gas feeder" was struck, filling tie cham
Der with gas, which coming in contact
with a ma ed lamp produced the explo-
sion. A "gas feeder" is pocket of gas
imbedded in the coal. As soon as pick
is struck into it the gas escapes, and II any
thing ignites ii an explosion follows. 1t is
generally conceded that there was good
ventilation, and the mines were fully sup
piled with air appliances. The superin-
tendent says the accident could not have
been foreseen and that no blame attaches

Gets Away With u Fortune.
NEw ORLEANS, Nov. 5-The United
states express messenger on the train on
the New Orleans & Northeastern rail-
way, which arrived here Saturday morn
ing at seven O'Clock, was robbed at five n.
m. between Lacey and Derby, fifty miles
from this city. The express officials de-
cline to state the amount OF the robbery,
but il is understo ood the loss is between
$40, 900 and $4,000.
Between the stations the robber entered
the express car. Henry McElroy, the
baggagemaster, was sitting on a chest
near the middle Of the car and Express
Messenger Charles Laurey was at the end
of the car checking Off freight. The rob-
ber went first to the baggagemaster, pre-
sented pistol and required McElroy to
hold up his hands. Quickly throwing a
sack over McElroy's head the robber gave
his attention to the messenger, who was
required at the point of pistol to open
the safe. A sack was then placed over
the messengers head while the robber
proceeded with the work of securing the
money. Both McElroy and Laurey were
required, under threat, to hold up their
hands.
After securing the contents Of the safe,
the robber pulled the bell rope, the train
then being near Nicholson station, forty
five miles from this city. When the train
stopped he left the car unobserved. The
conductor did not know why the train
stopped and on starting forward to ascer-
tain, found the rear end Of the coach next
to the baggage car locked and the key left
in the door on the outside.
When the express car was finally
reached both McElroy and Laurey were
| found standing with their hands up and
sacks over their heads. They were under
the impression that the robber was still
present Only one man was seen by
| Laurey.

DON'T TALK TOO MUCH.
Hints for Retail statesmen Who Desire to
He successfui.

He successfui.
maintain certain amount of reserve.
Too much talk has spoiled many good
trade. 1t is uresome to purchasers,
who frequently prefer to be guided by
their own judgment than by the sug.
gestions OF store clerks. People who
buy goods. particularly the ladies, gen.
orally think over what they want and
make up their minds before they start
out on a shopping expedition about
what they want and what they feel
they can afford 70 pay for it. When
they enter store and call for certain
quality of goods they expect the sales
man to place before them what they
desire-not to suggest they know some
thing good deal better. which they
are sure will give them far greater salts
faction.
Customers as a general thing do not
like talkative and garrulous store
clerks, they prefer quiet, obliging,
dignined salesman, who will show them
goods without any ostentatious display
OF his person or intellectual imbecility.
Clerks should never be impertinent or
snappish, even TO their interiors. They
should learn 10 treat all customers with
courtesy and impartial politeness.
Jokes, stories and sloppy sentiment
should never by manner or expression
do or say any thing to offend the dig
nifty OF a matron or bring n blush TO
modest maiden's cheek. They should
never remind any homespun agricul-
turist Of any unpleasant mistake he
may have made In his past career. for
such men are always more or less sens
ative and do not like TO be made butt
OF.
Many a clerk by trying to say some
smart thing has lost a good customer
TO his employer and made himself an
bject OF subsequent aversion to tho
party whom he has offended. Sales
men should talk just enough and
should have sufficient com mon sense
to know when they have talked enough.
They should be polite and patient
under provocation and use their utmost
endeavors to make friends for employ
ers, thus aiding in building up and
successfully carrying on business.
Some may think these remarks COM
mon-place, but they play more i'm
portant part in the success or failure OF
the retail storekeeper than many i'm
agine. Grocer's Criterion.
