A RETALIATORY POLICY.

The message OF President Cleveland
asking for power to pursue a strong re-
talatory policy towards Canada is very
much misunderstood, we apprehend, in
many quarters. The Republicans ac-
cuse the President Of attempting to Sc
cure the "Irisn vote' by this stroke,
and profess to believe that the chief
magistrate would hesitate a very con.
siderable time before striking the blow
even it Congress and the Senate adopted
the resolutions of Congressman Wilson.
It seems incomprehensible that any
one who has watched the career OF Pres
idenJ Cleveland should accuse him OF
coyvardice. lie has always demonstrated
by his actions that he had the courage.
TO express his convictions, and at this
time we have no hesitation whatever in
saying that if Congressman Wilson's
resolutions pass both houses and Canada
persists in treating the United States in
the ungenerous manner she has i'll the
past President Cleveland will pursue
his retaliatory policy to the end. The
chief magistrate knows as we'll as any
body that he is now dealing with a
country-Great Britaln--that does not
entertain strong regard for the Amer.
lean people. and he also knows that
much OF the hatred has been caused by
the devotion Of Americans to the cause
of legislative liberty for the people OF
ireland; but that this has Influenced
his course we do not for moment be-
lieve. He believes that our Government
should protect our citizens, and pro-
poses that the dignity Of American
citizenship shall not be assailed by the
subjects Of any country. He, no doubt,
realizes that the settlement OF the fish
cries question could have been placed
in better hands than Bayar9 & Co., but
he is bound that the Republicans, who
by the way on the eve of Presidential
election have always professed great
regard FOR Irishman, shall not make
capital at bis expense.
The fisheries trouble should be-
grasped from the domain of rartizan
politics. The Republicans should be
Just as eager as the Democrats to have
the matter disposed Of, and not throw
obstacles in the way of an amicable set
Element. So far as Irish-Americans are
concerned all they desire is to see the
citizens of their adopted country pro-
tected, and President Cleveland by his
decisive step has fully proved that they
shall be. even at the point Of the bay
onet, if necessary. The time for ailk-
and-water policy has gone by, and if
Canada and England does not want to
admit our rights in this matter, it is not
very hard to predict who will be the
greatest sufferers.

The report that Mayor Ames and
Col. Glenn are going to bury all differ
ences for the benefit of the Democracy
is good news and Col. Glenn is doing
all he can for the success of the ticket,
but it will be hard to get the mayor to
take that interest in the camp ign he
ought. 1t is not good year to quarrel
over trifles, and by all means let the
Ratchet be buried.

IT looks more like Albert Scheffer O,

IT looks more like Albert Scheifer On
the head Of the state Republican ticket
than other man just now. What a
candidate for governor on that ticket he
will make! The Republicans are pledged
to high license and he is an outspoken
low license man. If they nominate
him, which they will probably do, they
will be obliged to put two contradictory
planks in their platform viz, q high and
low license planks. But such incon-
sisteDcy is nothing new for the grand
old partv'' to champion. How are they
going to square things? Let us see.

Paul, Tuesday, every member being
present. James W. Lawrence was
elected chairman, and Major John
Landberg, Secretary, each to hold Office
for a term of two years. The appoint.
ments are eminently satisfactory to all
concerned. as both gentlemen are Pc
culiarly fitted for the offices to which
they were elected.

The announcement that Albert
Schefer carried the St. Paul primaries
against Merriam was sad news to the
latter's friends, but it was none the less
true. Scheffer's men manipulated
things well and consequently the sky
over the capital looks rather cloudy for
Merriam and McGill.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

There is polictical music in the air
now, and every person seems to he 'up
the neck" so to speak IN the campaign.
Though but few conventions have as
YET been held. the eagerness with which
disinterested citizens are
going into the fight, is enough to DEM
onstrate that it will be the greatest war
on record. Both sides are clamorlng
for their best men and the Prohibition
lists are taking up the echo. The Re-
pub)icans nominated Il county ticket
that will command great many votes,
unless the Democrats see that theirs is
equally as good. A number of nomlna-
tons were made by reclamation, which
showed that the present incumbents
could command more votes than new
men, and hence their denomination.
This shows how the Republicans regard
the situation. In the matter Of nom1-
mating two candidates for judges OF the
district court, they voted down a reso-
luton endorsing the present incum-
bents, Judges Lochren and Hicks. If
the resolution had only referred to
Lochren it would probably have been
carried, but having Hicks name on it
killed it. The convention was 80 far
as Hicks was concerned opposed to him
aud 80 the matter was dropped.

1t is a significant fact that, although
even the faintest trace of Indians blood
predominates over hat of the mora
effeminate yet conquering blood Of Euro
peans, yet the pure blooded Indians have
almost disappeared, while the half breeds
now compose the Canadian tribes. The
disappearance of the Indians must be due
to some psychological influence rather
than to any adverse material conditions.
Even here, under the best attainable re-
lations with civilization and the least
possible change of habits, they are di-
minishing about us fast as our abused
tribes. Scrofula and smallpox are their
most common diseases, and they injure
their health by unnecessary exposure,
overlooking on the carries, inordinate
feasting and fasting, and excessive labor
in running down reindeer and moose;
and their losses are not made up by their
small families.
Sickness is much dreaded, and if one
or two die In a place any one else who Is
indisposed thinks he also is to die, and
the others gather about and express the
same opinion. Those writers err who as
sert that insanity and deformity arc I'M
known among them; they have a super
stition that an evil spirit is taking posses
sion Of such persons, to change them into
a supernatural creature that will wander
about the woods and devour men. They
therefore strangle the demented and many
of the i'll formed.-C. II. Farnham in
Harper's Magazine.

But perhaps the most curious, and GER
tainly the most pathetic, of u summer
colonies cut Of doors is that which is re-
cruited from the hospitals. Whenever a
hospital has q garden attached to it O
will find tents pitched on the grass. In
some cases they will be large army tents,
and through their open flaps you may
SEQ rigid figures stretched on mattresses
on the floor, while neat and noiseleas
nurses pass to and fro among them. In
other instances they will DO roofs of can
vas, under whose shelter feeble, white
faced men and women swing in cots or
hammocks. The New York hospital has
one of its spacious roofs covered with
anvas awnings, beneath which patients
who are beginning to mend are quar-
tered, in order to have nature assist In
the cure. 1t is a very recent institution,
this summer encampment of the sick,
but il is, l am told, already established
as a valuable part Of tho process of cure.
The trouble is hat few of the hospitals
have spare ground enough to carry out
the plan properly. Some, too, which
have the space, are so hedged in by
other buildings that the sanitary value OF
their open air is seriously impaired

AT a recent meeting of the Paris Acad-
envy Of Sciences there was presented n
series of drawings Of the planet Mars
made by NJ. Perrotin, director of the OBJ
~servatory at Nice. In the discussion
which followed, NJ. Fizeau offered an ex-
PLANTATION Of the singular canals observed
ON the surface of Mars, which resemble
slightly canals used for irrigation. The
explanation which he gives is, hat on
the surface of Mars there must be large
glaciers similar to those which exist on
the earth, but Of an extent far greater,
and that the movements and revasses
are much more pronounced. This hy-
pothesis, as III. Fizeau claims, accords
perfectly with NJ present knowledge of
the planet. We know, first, that the
seasons are twice as long rs on the earth;
second, that the force OF gravity Is feeble;
third, that the temperature is probably
much lower than that of the earth; and,
fourth, that the atmosphere is less de-
veloped than that Of the earth, less ex-
tended, and consequently less able to alb
sorb and preserve the solar heat.-Sci-
cnce.

Now, b growth of luxury for the last
half century has been very great and
very general. We do not merely mean
that the rate of living has advanced.
This of itself is not necessarily to be de-
Plored in any class, and in some classes
Is a matter for serious congratulation.
That an agricultural laborer, for instance,
should be able to procure more food, bet
ter clothing, better housing, and better
education for his children than he could
fifty years ago is a matter to rejoice over,
and q state of things to secure by every
proper means. What we mean Is, that
the scale of comfort deemed necessary by
every class has enormously grown. Take
the upper classes. The great houses
throughout the country are administered
in a style the increase Of which Is quite
disproportionate to the growth of income
Of their The expenditure on
far fetched foods ard most recherche
wines, the most costly amusements, has
vastly developed. And the tendency Is
ever upward. Young men beginning life
try to start where their fathers left off.
Some quarter Of a century ago there was
a discussion in the newspapers as to the
prudence or otherwise Of young persons
in the upper classes marrying on an in
come of 300 a year. Three times that
income would be now considered made
quate by the critics who conducted the
discussion. Quarterly Review.

Mr.. F. Lugrin, of Geneva, has discov-
cred a method of feeding young fish of
the trout and salmonoid varieties. Great
difficulty has hitherto been experienced
in carrying the young fish through the
first year of their existence, the artificial
food not being sufficiently nutritious,
often costly and involving constant care
and attention. Mr.. Lugrin's invention
consists in q material which, when spread
on the bottom Of n tank, spontaneously
produces myriads of minute organisms
(daphnie, cyclops, limna, etc.) When
n tank is depleted the fish are driven
off TO another pasture similarly prepared.
The first tank, at the end of n few weeks,
is again swarming with organic life.

The Death of Cleopatra.

DR.. Viaud Grand-Marais, Of Nantes,
has been holding an inquest ON the sud
den death of Cleopatra. He rejects the
theory that her death was caused by the
bite of a viper. She was accustomed to
test the effects of various poisons on her
slaves, in order to ascertain which caused
the easiest death. Having shown that
no viper was found in the room of the
fair suicide, that her body presented no
traces of bites, and that her two maid
servants were found dead or dying at the
foot of her bed, he comes to the conclu-
sion that her death was caused by car

battle. Though Fremont brought him to
bay at Cross Keys, and Shields hurled his
forces against him at Port Republic, he
succeeded in raising the siege OF Richmond,
capturing or destroying immense stores,
and retiring after burning the bridges,
while Gordon Grey had never q chance to
realize hisswild dreams of vengeance.
Then came Lees advance. Mcclellan
met him, and there ensued the Seven Days
Battles, with the final struggle on Malvern
Hill, where the Confederate General re-
ceived 50 bloody check that the Union
troops were allowed to retire undisturbed
to Harrison's landing, and President Lin
coin, notwithstanding the fact that Gordon
Grey stood between Washington and the
invading army, called for levy OF three
hundred Thousand men. Then Pope met
Lee aud Jackson at Bristoe's Station, and
the army Of the Potomac under Mcclellan,
not reinforcing him. he was compelled to
face the entire Confederate forces on the
old battlefield Of Bull Run, when, over
whelmed by numbers, his shattered troops
broke in confusion for Washington.
On the 18th day Of September, when the
leaves Of the trees were already beginning
to be tinted with scarlet, Harry Winthrop
found himself in command OF scouting
party, feeling Lees lines. The afternoon
was well advanced, and the horses heads
had been turned towards the Union camp,
when the young Lieutenant, thinking ne
heard the clatter Of boots in the rear, halted
