Greeley's, "what 1 don't know about

THE attempt to lay the blame of the
present delay in carrying the Mills
bill through congress, upon the
shoulders of the republican party, in
stead of upon the dissensions among
the democracy themselves, is exceed
ingly amusing. The democrats hav-
ing no policy as party, and hopeless
ly divided on matters of tariff and all
else save the maintenance of a solid
south, are squealing themselves
hoarse because the republicans won't
determine their fight for them in favor
of Growers party. The democracy
having held possession of the lower
house for about twelve years, are now
bowling because majOrities at a
fraudulent ballot box will not make
majorities for democratic measures
the success of which means the ruina-
ton of the business and industry OF
the country. Too thin Too thin by
half! Wait until next congress and
.the republicans will change matters.

THERE was a ripple of excitement
at Gresham's headquarters in Chi
cago when Walter Blaine recorded his
name among those who favored the
candidacy of Judge Gresham. The
fact will do much to dispel the feel
ing so seduculously fostered by inter-
ested parties concerning the Blaine
hostility to Gresham's candidacy.

THE canard is going the rounds of
the democratic press that the sour
rillous pamphlet scattered at st.
Louis was written by a republican
pen. One journal attributes it to a
clergyman in New England; another
to a reporter ON the staff of the New
York Tribune and charges that jour
nal with being privy to the fact.
There is not one word of truth in
these charges, not one particle of evil
dence to substantiate them. The
democracy are alone responsible for
that dirty work. No amount of lye
will wash their hands from the stains
so indelIbIy seen in that production.
1t would not have been saddled upon
the republican party, had it not failed
of its desired effect in preventing the
denomination of Cleveland, a matter
in which no republican had any in
terest.

NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED LABOR PARTY.

The United Labor Party, in
National convention assembled at the
good city of Cincinnati, nominated a
presidential ticket. A large proportion
of its delegates favored the nom Ia
ton of the good-looking man pic
tured above, and he is in the field
accordingly, prepared to meet, on
equal terms, Mr.. Cleveland, Mr..
Blaine, Mr.. Gresham, Belva Lock
wood, or anybody else competing for
the privilege of living in the White
House at Washington for a period of
four years.
Robert H. Cowdrey is thirty-siY
years old. He is under the medium
height and is slenderly built. Small
physically, he is by no means irsig-
nifcant i'm his attachments and
capabilities. His qualifications as an
orator are decidedly superior, and
should he be defeated in the race for
the presidency he would be a useful
citizen in a less splendid station of
life, as his "record" makes abund-
antIy clear.
Mr.. COwdrey was born at Lafayette,
Indiana, in 1852, and is a graduate of
the pharmaceutical college at Chica-
go, to which place he went immedi-
ately after the great fire in 1871.
He was for seven years editor of the
Pharmacist and Chemist, and for the
last seventeen years has been in bust
ness in Chicago, part of the time in
sale of drugs as a clerk for some years
in the printing business on his own
account, and for the last year as secre-
tary ola company established in Chi
cago. Mr.. Cowdrey has been an in
dependent in politics since 1876, at
which time he left the republican
party. He has never held any politi-
cal office and the present is his first
venture as a candidate.
We notice that the action of the
united labor convention at Cincin-
natl in nominating a national ticket
has been repudiated by three
fourths vote at a meeting of the Chi
cago Land and Labor club, of which
Mr.. COwdrey is president.

THE Galveston News, referring to
the departure of many San Ant )nians
for the summer season to the vicinity
of Kerrville, says:
at is far cooler on the gulf shore
than inland. If San Antonio people
dislike Galveston, they can find the
same climate and facilities for salt
water bathing at Corpus Christi, and
summer residences there would be
decidedly pleasant. The gulf shore is
ten degrees cooler at midday in hot
weather than the country inland
hundred miles,
True lat midday" perhaps; but,
lord love you, how is it at morning
and at night? During the pleasant
est hours of the summer day in this
locality not a breath stirs the dead
oppression at the sea coast, and the
humid atmosphere there makes the
same degrees of heat, per thermOmetri
cal registration, which are by no
means oppressive here, all but unbear-
able upon the sea coast. Our people,
who desire cool nights, lose infinitely
by seeking the sea shore in the heated
season.

THE incertitude of action and fool
ish tariff tinkering on the part of con-
gress are producing their legitimate
results in curtailing trade and confin-
ing all commercial transactions to the
immediate wants of the country.
Manufactures suffer extremely and all
products of the mills of this country
show great falling off. Thus and
thus will it befall the people who put
their trust in democratic tariff.for-
revenue-only princes, and bow down
to worship free trade gods.

FRANCE is man'festly uneasy over
the change in the headship of the
house of HohenzOllern. The animus
of Frederick and his amity were well
known and appreciated, the animus
of William II is yet to be determined.
His early sanction by edict of the
tripartite alliance, binds Germany,
Austria and Italy in the old bonds,
and may or may not mean pacific in
teniions towards France and Russia.
Will the grandson of Queen Victoria
be more English than the son-in-law
of the empress of India, is the main
question? Time alone and the out
come of events can determine that
matter.

The King of tho Rockies.


 It is now possible to ascend Pike's Peak by wagon. Who among those who from dis tance of 100 miles or more gazed in 49 upon this snow topped crest supposed that in 'S8 8 decrepit team of mules and wagon with the tire wired on would ever desecrate the noble heightl Of course tourists who haze paused at the foot till now, will ride to the summit, breathe the thin, cold air, look upon the panorama of beauty which spreads to the Uintah mountains of Mormondom westward, and south to the Spanish peaks guarding the New Mexico line. They will be sure to do this. But the element of adventure is gone The accomplishment is no longer 8 tug, a test of endurance or 9 triumph. The lame and halt can climb as quickly as the robust The consumptive can expire in rarefed ec- stasy at an elevation of l4, 147 feet
 Once tourists walked pantingly the entire distance or bestrode picturssque burros and let the beasts do the pantin$ They went by the edge of precipices. They had hair breadth scapes, or at least an elegant chance to say that they had them. All this is passed. There is still the never melting snow, still the glowing beauty of sunset, kissing everything in sight, still the shadowy picture of the plains rubbing its edges against the distant horizon, but old Pikes Peak has taken a tum ble in public esteem. It has been pilfered ot its romantic charms. Pegasus was hsrnessed to blow and kicked. Pike's Peak, tho grandest hump on the continental spine, Ii tied to road cart, and Is powerless.

The Fisherman Naples
 BY ALEXANDER DUMAS.

that would give my brother were he in your positioni"
 .'What would you advise your brotherf" demanded the Spaniard proudly.
 "To give his daughter to the head of the people, if he had, like you, so promised. and then to resign his office into the hands of his new made son-in-law."
 "And then"-
 "And then, my lord, would counsel him to take the earliest opportunity to fly from Naples, every one of whose people consider it a duty to shed his bloody"
 The viceroy made no reply. He bowed down his head for few moments in thought.
 Meanwhile the throng inside the temple began to murmur
 "Why do you not proceed with the cere- monyf' shouted a voice in the crowd. "Must the people await forever the convenience of a tyrantP'
 Do you hear, my lord~ said Dom Fran cesco significantly. "The people grow clam orous; and you are already aware of the power of the peopler
 The viceroy raised his eyes and fixed them upon the monk as if he wished to look him down. But the latter met his glance with an eye as imperious and frmer than his own.
 Arcos quailed and bit his lip Pride and passion counseled him to smite the monk to the earth, but prudence advised him to an opposite course.
 You are right, priest" he said in an un- dertone. "Your advice, though not friendly, is based on wisdom, and will follow 1t. On with the bridals"
 We have little more to tell, and that little can be summed up in a few words.
 After the marriage of bis daughter Don Arcos relinquished the government into the hands of hls son-in-law, Masaniello, whose mild, firm and generous rule won for him the enduring love and loyalty of Naples, and evidenced the genuineness of. his patriotism as head of the people.
 Pietro and Jeanne were united O few weeks after the marriage of Masaniello. Their fortunes were cared for by their brave and noble brother, and right worthily did he watch over their interests, without, how ever, sacrificing a single ducat of the public money.
 Dom Francesca remained the friend and became the principal counselor of his foster son, Masaniello, between whom and himself existed firm and fervent friendship, which remained unbroken while they both lived.
 Corcelli, alone, did not profit by the new order of things. Not having thought fit, under the new viceroy, to put stop to his hazardous expeditions, he was caught in the very act of plundering, and was soon swing ing high up in the air, to the great satisfac- tion of all the country.
 THE END.

Flowers of British Guiana.

All through the land round about are other wonders There are avenues of table trees whose foliage seems exaggerated horizon tally, alleys of mahogany trees, lanes of ori- nokes whose fronds corruscate with crimson blossoming There are amazing shrubs orange colored things; there are plants with glossy leaves speckled in four different col ors, there are various plants that look like wigs of green hair, masses of filiform green sea weed set on short sticks; plants with enormous, broad leaves, so diaphanous as to seem made of green glass; plants that do not look like real plants, but like idealiza- tions of plants, like the fantasricalities of wood carvers and stone cutters animated by witchcraft. There are grasses that look like dwarf palms-tiny arborescent grasses with curving stems and plumed heads. There are flowers of extravagant forms and colors- flowers that possess familiar shapes, but have absurd tints and unfamiliar perfumes, yellow and indigo and green, orange and black and crimson plants.
 And in all the ponds, covering all the canals, float the green navies of the monster lily, the Victoria Regia. Close to shore the leaves are not extraordinarily large; but they increase in breadth as they float further out, as if gaining bulk proportionately to the depth of water. A few yards off, they are large as soup plates; further out, they are broad as dinner trays; in the center of the pond or canal they have surface large as tea tables. And all have an upturned edge, a perpendicular rim, like a bulwark. Here and there you see the fower-a non-sensical flower large as hat
 Then there are fiddle wood trees in multi tude, calabash trees, mangoes, breadfruits, sago palms, fig trees and hundred unfa- miliar shapes of which I cannot learn the names. And there Is the snake nut tree, bearing g most ghastly fruit. For this swart nut-shaped almost like clam shell, and halving in the same way along its sharp edges-encloses something incredible. There is pale envelope about the kernel; remove it, and you find between your fingers a little viper, triangular headed, coiled thrice upon itself, perfect in every detail of form from skull to tail. Was this marvellous mockery | evolved for protective endl It is no eccen 1 tricity; In hundred nuts the serpent kerne lies coiled the same. - Lafcadio Hearn ir Harper's Magazine.

 dressed ill gay colors. Her black hair and her big brown eyes made the horlid paleness of her face look even more deadly white than perhaps it really was. She stared straight at us without appearing to see us We spoke to her. and she never answered word. She might have been dead like her husband, except that she perpetually picked at her fingers and shuddered every now sand then as if she was cold. I went to her and tried to lift her up. She shrank back with cry that we'll nigh frightened me-not because iS was loud, but because it was moro like the cry of some animal than of a human being. However quietly she might have behaved in the land lady's previous experience of her, she was beside herself now. l might have been moved by natural pity for her, or I might have been completely upset in my mind-I only know this, could not persuade myself that she was guilty; and I even said to Mrs. Crosscapel, II don't believe she did it"

 The doctor called in had found it left in the body, had withdrawn it to probe the wound, and had laid it on the bedside table It was one of those useful knives which con- tain saw, a corkscrew and other like imple- ments. The big blade fastened back, when open, with spring. Except where the blood was on it, it was as bright as when it was purchased. A small metal plate was fastened to the horn handle, containing an inscription only partly engraved, which ran thus: '"fo John Zebedee, from. There it stopped, strangely enough.
