ATCHISON's SMALL DIVIDEND.
BEARS BEAT DOWN THE PRICE-DEMORALIzEI


RATES THE TROUBLE.
Boston, Oct (SpeciaD.-The chief interest on
Change to-day centred the action OF the Atchison
directors. The dividend question was settled by the
announcement that half of per cent would be paid.
Soon after l D. m. the stock declined to ~. An
effort then made to stem the tide of long stock
and recovery 10 rs 10 the result. The buyers
swamped with the stock offering and

close of the Stock Exchange when the lowest quota

The excitement In dealing with the stock has been

which show that with rates as toy are to sy per

even per cent will not DO earned. The tonnage on
the Atcllson well on all Ines is immense, but
rates have hardly been pictured bad as they have
been. The Journal says:

problem In the railroad situation to-day is whether under

work that produced definite results. The topics
under discussion were the Western passenger war and

SteyonsOn'S Thrift.

1t seems that years ago Robert
Louis Stevenson wrote a tale of the
wars of the Roses for an English
story paper. It was good tale, and
it went the way of about all story
paper tales,-the way to oblivion.
Since then fame has come to the
author. This spring the newspapers
have been publishing a "ten-thous-
and dollars" story by Robert Louis
Stevenson, '"The Outlaws of Tunstall
Forest" copyrighted by the proprie-
tor of the leading American story
syndicate. Now comes a neat
volume written by Robert Louis
Stevenson, and called '"The Black
Arrow" The curious thing is that
the forgotten tale, the newspaper
serial, and the volume are all three
the same story. That it is an inter-
csting tale, worth reading, there isno
gainsaying, but it does seem as if in
this matter the great American pub
lie has not had it's full measure offair
play.-The Writer.

The Smile Drill.

Profanity very few persons know what Il
smile drill is. 1t il one Of the pleasant and
harmless pranks with which the naval cadets
at Annapolis refresh their powerful minds,
when jadc'l with great intellectual exertions.
The upper-class man holds up one finger, and
the poor lower class man must smilc-just q
little. Up goes another finger, and the smile
must broaden: still another, and it is wider
than before. At last all the fingers are up,
and the grin is stretched as far as u grin can
be. The rather painful situation can be pro-
longed until the cruel upper-class man is tired
of seeing the other fellow smile. Then he
closes his hand and the smile must instantly
cease. Prompt obedience is the essence of
smile drill, as Of every other
President Cleveland Is putting the Demo
cratic party through smile drill on the qllps-
tion of free trade. He put up one finger and
they made an ngOnZed effort to smile, though
they didn't feel in the least like it, Then he
put up another and the smile was wider and
saddcr than before. The poor Democracy
knew that, while it might be fun for Mr.. Glove
land. it was death to them. Now he has got
both hands up, and the party has Il smile on
apparently happy as it is broad, but
second look shows that it is haggard and
forced Hundreds of manufacturers and
thousands OF workingmen are leaving the
party because they don't want free trade.
On u certain evening next November Pres
i'lent Cleveland will suddenly take in his
hands, and the smile on the broad red face
of the Democracy will give place to an express
sion of settled gloom.-N. Y. Tribune.

From Truckman to Millionaire.


Thirty years ago Il frcckled faced,
stout English lad broganed and
roughly dressed, applied for work in
a wholesale shipping and chandler
house on South Street. He had just
landed. He was given q place push
ing a hand truck and he did his work
satisfactorily. He found Il better sit
uation presently and drifted away,
The other day a rosy-cheeked man
stepped along among the trucks and
the crowd of South Street to find the
place where he once worked as a roust-
about and labOrer. He could have
well afforded to have sought the old
store in d carriage, but he did not,
though he is a millionaire now more
than three times over, and lives, when
at home, in one of the grandest houses
in Cleveland, o. His name is Samuel
Andrews. When he left New York he
went West and made some money in
the then comparatively unknown
trade of tar roofing. He saved what
he made, and when the Standard Oil
Company was formed he got in on the
ground floor. The way to millions
was then opened to him.

Five Good Reasons.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TRlBUNE.-Sir
Please give me five good reasons why Il man
should be Republican. J. WALTER.
/. Because there is everything in the rec
ord of the Republican party which he may
be proud, and nothing of which he will be
ashamed. 1t saved the Union, emancipatel
the slaves, restored specie payments, and re-
duced the National debt one half Unlike the
Democratic party, it has never been in alli-
nnce with slave-owncrs and the rum-power;
it never pronounced the war for the Union u
failure and sued for Il craven peace; andi it has
never arrayed itself against the principles of
honest finance and National honor
?. Because Republicanism does not stand
for the suppression of u single Democratic
vote in any State of the Union. In every Re
publican State Democrats are free to vote as
they please, and their ballots are counted :ls
they are cast. Democracy stands for the sup.
preston of Republican votes by intimidation,
crime and fraud in every State formerly in
rebellion.
3. Because the Republican party in it's
tariff legislation laid the foundations of u
National prosperity unexampled in modern
dustry to-day against the combined attack
of English manufacturers and the frec-trade
Democracy. The Solid South in the Confe,l-
crate Constitution pronounced for free trade
precisely as the party of Buchanan, Brecken-
ridge and Douglas had done before the war,
anu aS tIe paTty Vi lhueu, IldnCOck ana
Cleveland has done since. Repulcansm is
the cause of industrial independence
4 Because the Republican party is Ameri-
can in it's sympathies and it's policy, believes
in governing and developing America for the
benefit Of Americans, and would neither or
der its tariff policy for the accommodation
and profit of foreigners, nor lower the coun-
try in the estimation of the world by COM
promising American honor through pusian-
imous diplomacy The Democratic party is
equally un-American in its foreign and it's
domestic policy.
5. Because the Republican party is re-
cruted from the more intelligent and pro-
gressive elements of American population,
and is the organization in which all friends
of Civil Service reform, practical temperance
legislation, or of any other movement in the
direction of good government naturally be.
long. The Democratic party is not hospita.
BILE to any real reform in government, as the
Civil Service reformers have learned to their
shumc.-Tribune.

What's In q Name.

what you call, or pretend to call the revenue
policy of the democratic party. You may
call it free trade, British free trade, revenue
reform, tariff for revenue only, t''riif rcduc::
ton, or by any other of the dozen forms OF
expression used to describe it. 1t is the
thing itself which concerns the American
pcople-nOt the name fit.
The actual policy of the democratic party
is policy which vastly enhances the I'M
portatiOn Of foreign-made goods into this
country in competition with goods which are
mnde in this country Isn't that SO? Oi
course it is nobody denies it. Indeed, it il
the avowed purpose of the Mills bill which is
admitted to be only q partial carrying out
of the democratic purpose.
Now, never mind what this policy is to be
called for n moment. This is the thing which
1t wants to bring it about, because the op-
posite policy is in force through the ex-
istin9 tariff. The existing tariff
is intended to restrict the importation
of foreign made goods which would come in
to competition with home made goods. The
of a tariff of this kind The democratic party
would partially accomplish this object if it
could put the Mills bill in force
By way of recapitulation, then, it sim
mers down to this: The amount of revenue
to be raised being identically the same, the
TWO p;iftleS WOulu puU uutles On enClr0y OlI-
ferent articles, or in different rates on the
same article-the Republican party with a
view to keep foreign-made articles out of
competition with homemade articles the
democratic party with view solely to get
revenue.
Now you coll these opposing policies
what you please In brief outline, these are
the policies: The republican policy is cor
rectiy called the protective policy. The dem.
ocratic policy, whatever you call it, il the
opposite of the republican policy. The
opposite of the protective policy is rs a mat
ter of fact, the free trade policy. 1t is
properly so denominated in the formulas Of
the books of political economy. 1t is SO un-
derstood in England. 1t is so understood
by free traders everywhere.
All this splitting of hairs to which the DEM
ocrntic press is addicted just now about the
mere name of the democratic policy isintend
ed to deceive serious minded voters as to the
actual policy Of the party-as to the very
thing which the party will do if it gets the
power to do it.-Sionx City Journal.

The Celebrated West India Cucul0.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A beautiful specimen of tho cele-
brated West India cucuio or fire beetle.
was caught the other night in a door
yard in Brooklyn by a little daughter
of Mr.. Stephen Averill. tits about
on inch and a half long and upon the
thorax are two eye-like spots resem-
bling those of an ordinary water beet
le, When the insectis placed in the dark
these spots shine with a agreenish light
strong enough to produce n percep-
tible illumination around them. From
the segments of the body underneath
the wing covers a similarillumination
is produced. The intensity of the
light is apparently under the insects
control. When undisturbed for a
time the light gradually fades out,
but if it santen@re are touched or it
is otherwise irritated, the oval spots
on it's back and it's body underneath
glow with surprising splendor. So
brightis the light that the insect fit
ting among the trees on the evening
ofits capture was at first mistaken
for a.toy fire balloon 1t may have
been brought to Brooklyn in
some fruit-laden schooner.
