From the New York Sun.
A beautiful specimen of the cele-
brated West India cucuio, or fire beetle.
was caught the other night in a door
yard in Brooklyn by little daughter
of Mr.. Stephen Ayerill. tits about
an inch and half long and upon the
thorax are two eye-like spots resem-
bling those of an ordinary water beet
lie. When the insect is placed in the dark
these spots shine with agreenish light
strong enough to produce q percep-
tible illumination around them. From
the segments of the body underneath
the wing covers a similar illumination
is produced. The intensity of the
light is apparently under the insects
control. When undisturbed for q
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

for a,toy fire balloon 1t may have

Clap Trap VS.. Com mon sense.


In spite of all the Republican
clap trap in regard to the so-called
free trade procliyities of the Demo
cratic party, and the alleged bene-
fits to accrue to the laboring classes
from a high protective tariff, the
good common sense of the people
will not fail to perceive that it is all
sheer nonsense, put forth by design
ing men to delude their understand
ing; that it was never contempla-
ted either in the Presidents mes
sage or in any Democratic platform
that has ever been promulgated, to
inaugurate system of free trade,
to the injury of American indus
tries; that, with between three and
four hundred millions of dollars, to
be raised annually for the legiti-
mate and necessary expenses of the
government, such a thing as free
trade is u physical impossibility;
that after an experiment of twenty
FIVE years it has been clearly dem
onstrated that about the only thing
a high protective tariff does not
protect is American labor. There
is one phase of the tariff questions,
however, that oughtto be thorough
ly impressed on the public mind, viz:
That Hnder the present system of
taxation grievous wrong is being
perpetrated in taking annually from
fifty to one hundred millions of dol
lars more than is needed for the
wants of the government from the
pockets of the people. Mr.. Cleve-
land in his message, also points out
with great perspicuity the dangers
arising from this surplus, and that
every consideration of public pol
icy demands its avoidance, at the
same time suggesting remedies that
would work the least injury to the
least number. His logic is incon-
trovertible, and the position of the
Democratic party ON this subject is
impregnable. The most superficial
student of political economy cannot
fail to appreciate the evil effect on
trade, caused by the withdrawal of
so large an mount of money from
circulation, and the pernicious ten
dency of a plethoric treasury upon
the political morals of the country,
by affording an ever present temp
tation for extravagant and vicious
Legislation must be apparent to
everybody. No; the Democratic
party has nothing to fear from the
stand that Mr.. Cleveland has taken
in the matter of tariff reduction, but
much, very much, to apprehend
from failure to afford the much
needed relief from unnecessary
taxation. MartiEs6urg Statesman.

AN EXPLANATION
I'm Justice 10 Conductors Hines
and Holland, Of tie d. IL. R.
pc al to tho Wheeling Register.

Spec al to tho Wheeling Register.
PARKRRsBuRa, Jan. r. Your cor
respondent here, as well as fAe
friends, of the parties mentioned,
noted with satisfaction the prompt
correction in the Register the morn
ing after its appearance of the dis
patch rejecting upon Conductor
Hines and. Holland of the Ohio
River road. But as the writer of
the dispatch wishes to give all the
publicity to the denial he can he
again ayails himself of your columns
to say that it is source of no little
regret that the names of Conductor
Hines and Holland should have
been included in the dispatch sent
to you some days ago. While there
was a general report that they were
discharged with others, it was un-
founded. No charge of improper
appropriation of funds have ever
been made against these gentlemen,
and it can be stated officially that
their record is "a No. L" with the
company. The officers of the COM
pany do not hesitate to say that
their services has been most vaiua-
Bile, and that instead of it being
their intention to discharge them,
there are no men in their employ
who are more certain to hold their
positions. These men are now on
the road and have been during the
ell tire trouble. The fact that their
names did thus improperly appear
has been, the means of calling atten-
ton to their past record and the
present position, of each of which
any railroad conductor may honest
ly feel proud, all of which it affords
us much pleasure to chronicle.

Minister Taylor 10 Foraker:

Some time ago the Hon. Charles
I'll. Taylor, the colored Democratic
minister to Liberia, addressed an
open letter to Governor ]. B. Fora
ker, of Ohio, in which he asked
that functionary several hard ques-
tions.
Minister Taylor called Governor
Foraker's attention to the fact that
the Republicans emancipated the
negroes simply as a war necessity.
After reviewing the conduct of the
Republicans towards his race for
the past quarter of a century or so,
he makes the point that under the
present Democratic administration
the rights of the negroes are as
much respected as ever. He furth-
ermore expresses the belief that
Governor Foraker's party has no
use for the negro, unless it can
make him vote the Republican tick
ct, and after his vote is secured,
it has no further use for him.
Now, says Minister Taylor, after
this experience, why not try the
Democrats while? Why not try
them for say quarter of u century?
The Republicans have never REIN
bursed the negroes for their losses
in the Friedman's Bank.
This remarkable colored man
wants to know if the Democrats
have ever treated his race as badly
as the Republicans have, and, in
fact, he maintains that they have
done a great deal better than the
g. o. p.
1t is an encouraging sign of the
times to see our Intelligent coIored
men thinking of these things for
themselves The more the colored
man thinks on this line the more
firmly he will be convinced that it
does not pay to be blindly led by
schemers whose only object is the
deliverance of his vote, and as he
throws off the shackels of party
slavery, the wound he has been
made to suffer show the true char
acter of the treatment to which he
LAS been subjected.
Governor Foraker will probably
not answer this open letter. This,
however, will make little difference
The questions propounded by the
Liberian minister remains on record,
and will call for an answer.-Regis-
ter.

Gooa AdYice.

The following sound advice to
Democrats, we find in the Fairmont
Lnder, and being so full of truth
we adopt 1t, and commend it to the
Democrats of this county: at will
be we'll for the Democrats of this
State, early.in the year, to remem-
bcr that 1888 is Presidential year,
and that West Virginia is to be car
ried for the Democratic ticket next
fall. To do this neatly and nicely
only requires united, harmonious
and organized party. The first
thing to be done is to perfect a
thorough party organization The
lack of this is a chief source of
weaknessl The Democratic voters
of West Virginia have never been
systematically organized. In some
of the close counties of the State an
organization more or less complete
has been effected and maintained,
but in the State at large and espe-
cialIy in the large Democratic coun-
ties, no effort in this direction wor-
thy the namc has ever been made.
The Democracy have won their
splendid victories by main strength
and awkwardness, aided largely by
the blunders of the enemy. We
cannot always count on assistance
from that quarter, however, and de-
feat this year would cost too much
to warrant taking any risks. The
Republicans have already began to
to get into line, and we should lose
no time in organizing our own for
ces and closing up the gaps in our
ranks preparatory to grand charge
upon the foe. With perfect organi-
cation we can present a solid front
to the enemy and win an easy vic
tory"
