The Democratic party has ever set up
the cry that 1t is the party of pure
democracy, In the broad sense of the
word. Yet President Cleveland has ex-
ercised powers greater than those of any
other constitutional ruler on earth. The
constitution gives the president the
power Of veto, but 1t was intended that
It should be used only in extreme cases,
and was never used by many presidents
and seldom by any. President Cleye-
land has used this privilege Of his Office
over.three hundred times, and in most
instances to veto bills for the relief Of
loyal veterans of the late war and their
widows and orphans. The one man
who sets his single Judgment in q mat
ter Of evidence against . majority of the
National congress must have big opin-
ION Of his own Judgment.

One Of the most significant features OF
the campaign is the general enthusiasm
among the ladies for the Republican

moral aid in this campaign is most en-.

cratic free trade policy is . threat to
supercede the American homo BY the

Rspublicaass Awake.

Ohio Republicans must arouse to their
situation. A desperate attempt Is being
made by the Democratic committee
to carry Ohio. Money In unlimited
amounts is being used. Corruption,
bribery and frauds are being employed.
Believing Republicans to be reposing in
easy confidence the Democrats are at.
tempting to carry Ohio by secret work.
The free trade crowd having as good as
lost Indiana and New York, are now turn
ing in desperation to Ohio. They must
be watched. Every Republican vote
must be out ON election day.

JUDGE THURMAN has always been
over-zealous in doing the bidding Of his
party. During the war he was
not in sympathy with the union side. At
the time Of the greenback craze he gave
way to utterances that would more reas-
onably have been expected from a sand
hill socialist than statesman and man
who had access to libraries and In this
campaign he has tottered 30 joyfully to
the defense of free trade doctrines that
his party has had to call him down. He
is too open in his remarks. He lets ev-
erybody know that free trade and Demo-
cratic tarifr ssform are one and the same
thing.

Pennsylvania Industry.

The busiest persons in this city at
present are those of calling which
probably is unknown in any other
place in this country. That calling is
the professional cutting of cabbage for
sauerkraut making. The cutter travels
about the city from house to house from
the latter part Of October to the mid
die of November, by which time the
notwithstanding season is over.
The father Of the business is M ichael
Bruckman, who has cut cabbage for
Readings best families for many years.
There are few families in this city from
the highest to the lowest, that fail to
put down supply Of sauerkraut every
fall. Brakeman alone cuts up 200
heads of cabbage day during the put
ting down season. His cabbage-cutter
he imported from Germany, and he
says there is not another like it in this
country. +
1t is the well-to-do families and sa-
loon keepers who hire their cabbage
cut, although the charge is only one
cent head. The saloonkeepers are
the best customers of the cabbage-cut-
tiers, for they order hundreds of heads
cut at time. Sauerkraut for lunch is
one OF the delicacies of Reading all the
year round.
During the last half of October and
the first half of November, Cutter
Brakeman estimates, there are not less
than 1000 heads of cabbage cut every
day for sauerkraut in Reading, or co.
900 heads for the season. Those who
do not hire their kraut crop cut have
cutters of their own, or wait their turn
to borrow of a neighbor who has. No
Reading household is exactly complete
without cabbage-cutter. The person
who cuts cabbage for kraut profession
ally has nothing 20 do with the making
of the kraut. That is done by the fam
lily, and the family in Berks County
that does not know all the mysteries of
mountaineering had better keep its
ignorance to itself. No family puts
down less than ten heads of cabbage in
pickle to ''ripen'' into kraut, while the
cutter frequently has job of hum
dred heads or more to cut at a single
house. -Reading Letter.

The Oldest Canal,

A Harrisburg, Pa, correspondent of
The New York Sun says: The Union
canal, which was the first canal pro-
jected on the American continen t,hav
ing been suggested by William Penn
in 1890, and its route surveyed seventy
years later, before there was a canal in
operation, even in England, is to be
sold. The route on this canal was sur
veyed by David Rittenhouse, the as
tronomer, and Dr. William Smith, pro-
vost of the University of Pennsylvania,
in 1865. It extended from the Schuyl-
kill river, near Reading, to the Susque-,
hanna, at the present site of Middle
town, Dauphin county. 1t was the first
link in a proposed chain of water COM
munication between the Delaware river
and Lake Erie, project so gigantic for
that early day, when canals and even
turnpikes were unknown, that the pro-
jectors were believed by the people to
be crazy.
Rittenhouse planned a system of in
clined planes to overcome the Allegheny
mountains, a plan which was adopted
seventy-five years later by the state in
its old Portage railroad.
The Revolutionary war inter upted
work on the pioneer canal, and in 1871
Robert Morris, Robert Fulton, and
Tench Francis, became interested in it.
The work was too far in advance of the
times, however, and it was not COM
pleted until 1927. The canal is eighty
nine miles in length, and some of the
greatest engineering work of the day
was necessary in it's construction. The
first tunnel in the United States was
bored for this canal through nearly 800
feet of solid rock, and the summit of
the canal being higher than its terminal
feeder, pumping apparatus had to be
constructed to raise the water to the
necessary height. The canal cost
100000. Railroad transportation
having made the ancient waterway I'M
profitable, a few years ago it was aban-
doned, and it is now offered for sale.

THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
Astonishing Skill Possessed by the Natives
of tho Frlgld Zone. 532ss

Astonishing Skill Possessed by the Natives
of tho Frigid Zone.
# The natives Of the frigid zone know,
too. how to set effective traps for deer,
wolves and other animals without the
aid ofs wood or white mems implements.
A deer trap, for instance, is made by
digging hole in the deep snow and
covering it with snow blocks held in
position by resting upon each other.
For bait little lines of sailed water are
led to the center of the covering of the
pit, and following up one of these the
unsuspecting animal falls in and be-
comes an easy prey to the hunter. y.
A wolf-trap is made by coiling into
rs small a space as possible slender
strips of whalebone about a foot in
length, and tying them with thread
made from sinew. Each coil is then
Embedded in a. small chunk of meat
and thrown upon the snow, where it is
subsequently found by the wolf and
bolted without chewing. In little
while the frozen meat thaws, the sinew
is wet and slips the loosely made knots,
the whalebone Strengthens and pierces
the stomach and intestines, and the
animal dies in torture. In winter the
northern native knows how to find the
"blow-hole' in the ice fields, where a
seal comes up to get a fresh supply of
air for his lungs. This "blow-hole'' is
very different in reality from that
which is usually pictured in the Illus
trated stories Of Arctic travel.
Generally they are represented as
irregular openings in the ice from two
to six feet in diameter. The fact is,
one unfamiliar with the habits and
haunts of these marine mammals would
pass directly over a blow-hole in winter
or spring and not see it, as it is not
usually more than from half an inch to
an inch in diameter at the surface of
the ice. The native seal-hunters are
greatly assisted in these searches by
their dogs, whose keen noses scent the
odor of seal meat and guide their mas
tiers to places on the right and left of
the line of search that would otherwise
have escaped the notice OF even these
keen-eyed hunters. When found, the
location is marked for future refer
ence, and at some subsequent time,
when meat is scarce in the snow-hut
that shelters the hunters household,
he repairs, with snow knife and spear,
to one OF the places previously marked,
and, building: a shelter OF break-wind of
snow-blocks, sits down to await the re-
turn of the seal. Sometimes these
vigils are prolonged not for hours only,
but for days, at a sitting.
In the spring, when the seal comes
out upon the ice to bask and doze in the
warm sunlight, the hunter approaches
him by lying down and advancing
cautiously, at the same time initiating
the motions of a seal, keeping his feet
and legs, which he crosses at the
ankle. close together, so that they much
resemble the headquarters of seal.
Indeed, when at a distance, have fire.
quently found it difficult to tell which
was the seal and which the man. 1t is
the early training of the northern
savages that has taught them to do all
this skillfully. -C0snn0polstUn.

Oscar Wilde Deuounces the Unreasonable
Dictates of Fashion.


Dictates of Fashion.
Miss Letfler-Arnim's statement, in a
lecture delivered recently at St.
Saviour's Hospital, that "she had
heard of instances where ladies were
so determined not to exceed the fashion
ionable measurement that they had
actually held on crossbar while their
maids fastened the tifteen-inch corset"
has excited a great deal of incrcdulity,
but there is nothing really improbable
in it. From the sixteenth century to
our own day there is hardly any form
of torture that has not been inflicted
on girls, and endured by women, in
obedience to the dictates of an I'M
reasonable and monstrous fashion. "In
order to obtain a real Spanish figure, ="
says Montaigne, ''what Gehenua of
suffering will not women endure,
drawn in and compressed by great
coches entering the flesh: nay, some-
times they even die thereof!'
"A few days after my arrival at
school," Mrs. Somerville tells us in
her memoirs, ''although perfectly
straight and we'll made, was enclosed
in stiff stays, with a steel busk in front,
while above my frock bands drew my
shoulders back till the shoulder blades
met. Then steelrod with semi-cir-
Gle, which went under my chin. was
clasped to the steel busk in my stays.
In this constrained state I and most of
the younger girls had to prepare our
lessons;' and in the life of Mrs. Edge
worth we read that, being sent to a
certain fashionable establishment ''she
underwent all the usual fortunes of
backboards, iron collars, and dumbs,
and also because she was very tiny
person. the unusual one of Being hung
by the neck to draw out the muscles
and >, increase the growth,n signal
failure in her case. @."
: Indeed, instances of absolute mutila-
ton and misery are so common in the
past that it is unnecessary to multiply
them; but it is really sad to think that
in our own day civilized woman can
hang on to a crossbar while her maid
laces her waist into fifteen-inch cir
Gle. To begin with. the waist is not a cir
Gle at all, but an oval; nor can there be
any greater error than to imagine that
an unnaturally small waist gives an
air of grace, or even Of slightness to
the whole figure. Its effect. as a rule,
is to simply exaggerate the width of
the shoulders and the hips. and those
whose figures possess that stateliness,
whichis called stoutness by the vulgar,
convert what is . quality into defect
byyielding to the silly edicts of fashion
on the subject Of tight lacing. - Won'-
