Nothing seems to make the esteemed re-
publicans angrier than for Mr.. Cleveland
to claim for his administration some credit
for the improved methods that have been
years. Mr.. Cleveland has done great deal
for clean and business-like government
and no doubt he feels proud of his work
The people also point to it with pride, and
probably that is what makes the republican
organs vince.

Mr.. Alexander Sullivan, the stump
speaker of 1884 who did more than any
other to win Irish votes to the republican
ticket, and who was paid $500 for every
speech he made, declines to speak in this
campaign. Like Senator Edmunds, of
Vermont, he is for the republican ticket,
but, like him again, he is not for it enough
to take the stump, even at $500 a speech.

Mr. Cleveland feels confident that he will
be reelected, but he is not saying what ma

in his presence of 10000 majority in New
York, an expression comes into his eyes
which tells as plainly as words that he has
made about the same estimate.

A NEW MEXICO SHEPHERDS LIFE

The life of a cowboy, full of hardship
though it be. is lively, bracing and
comparatively comfortable. But shep-
herd-well, it's useless to go on; laugu-
age will not even Craze the skin of the
subject. Without house to sleep in,
camping on the bare ground in weather

place where the sheep stop at
night, often obliged to be out all night
when the storm or coyote scatters the
flock, and never able to take off his
shoes or clothes for months at time;
with no society save that of the sheep
aud fellow shepherd as stupid as
himself, the pastors lot is not happy
one. Its hardships, severe as they are
are nothing beside its dullness. Fancy
yourself sitting all day and watching o
flock of sheep and keeping it up month
Ia and month out, year in and year
out.
1t is true that the shepherd has
some diversions, but they are mostly
forbidden ones. He will make some
alleged music, of an evening, on the
vihuela, sort of gigantic jewsharps
of home manufacture, made of bent
stick, string and one key, and look
ing more like lop sided bow than
anything else. He INDUCES likewise
and cunquian with his compadre, play
lug all night and sleeping all day. If
there be a bale (dance) in some neigh

one of his comrades and take her a

at nightfall and will not return until

his patron catch him at such exploits!
Then shall he wish bales and com

The roster Of duly organized flock
consists of $500 sheep-all ewes and
their lambs, with few wethers for
mutton-two shepherds (Navajoe or
Mexican), two dogs to help care for
the flock and two burros to pack the
blankets, provisions and axes. Shep
herds are paid from SIS to $40 per
month-generally the latter figure
and rations. The provisions, given
every month, comprise -four, meal,
beans, coffee, sugar and salt. The
meat of the wethers is also at their
disposal. Neatness, of course, is hard
ly to be expected IN shepherds, and
they are picturesqueiy dirty set of

BANANAS A BLESSEI THERE.

young Salvadoriau, with dark ewes
and inky hair of his country, talked to q
reporter the other day about the Central
American banana tree. The tree is 81 to
) feet IN circumference at its base. Its
taperlng fbrous body. without a
branch, is from 10 TO 10 feet III height.
Ihe hbers, separate by thin pith, are
as long as the body OF the tree. These
tlbers are used in Salvador, Just as they
are taken from the tree, as shoestrings
and as cords for all purposes. The nat
ives use them largely for bride reins
and lariats. The raw material costs only
transportation to the ropewalks.
Zach banana tree bears in the twelve
months OF its existauce only one bunch
II fruit, but from two to ten trees spring
from the roots of the one that has fallen.
In Salvador the bunch of bananas is
worth fifteen cents, and the dead tree
nothing. 4 cordage factory or paper
mill or coffee sack maker, were not the
dead trees numbeiless would give for
each tree ten times the value of the fruit
il has produced. Split, dried and pack
ed, the bodies OF the banana trees might
be shipped proftably to the United
states, but there is no reason why some
enterprlslDg American would not take
them III hand and ship to Salvador the
proper machinery for their manufacture,
IS labor is fully wo-thirds cheaper there
than III New York.
In Salvador ropewalks are found il
unirequented streets and suburban
roads. The native machinery consists
OF crank attached TO an upright board,
with which native boy twists the fbers
Of the baEdana and cactus. A man skill
led IN the ropewalker's art spices the
tibers together, adding to the length and
thickness of the revolving cord. The
stem of each banana leaf consists of the
toughest aud finest threads, and these
leaves, two aud half and three feet
wide, and ten to fifteen feet long, rest
ing on the heads of native women, are
umbrellas in the rainy season in roofess
market places and streets of Salvador.
These are the carpets on which the
people sit and the beds on which they
sleep. '"There is q fine opportunity"
