Cut OFF from Communication.

Late last spring the two cable lines that
connect Australia with the northern hemis-
phere suddenly and simultaneously ceased to
work, and the island continent was for a
time cut off from instantaneous communi-
cation with the older world. The fact that
both cables on the same day failed to render
their usual service was regarded as a re-
markable coincidence and excited alarm.
Letters from Melbourne say the opinion was
general that this strange coincidence was
either the result of a great CONFUSION at the
bottom Of the ocean or was the work
of an enemy; and every Australian govern
ment lost no time in putting its defenses in
the best possible condition. 1t was not long,
however, before placidity of mind was re-
stored by the discovery that nature, and not
man, was responsible In the great volcanic
belt south Of Java, where the two cables lie
within forty miles Of each other, they had
been simultaneously fractured, it is supposed,
by some tremendous submarine disturbance.

the free list. Wool has been put upon that
list by the Mills bill, and l, as your repre-
sentative, as democrat, aligning myself
with the democratic party, and following
the injunction put upon me by the ma
tional convention at st. Louis and the
state convention at Fort Worth, feel
it to be my duty to give it my
support. I don't think it a per
feet or entirely symmetrical BILL
1t don't deal radically enough with the
question. The duties should go lower tlii
it is possible for the poor and middle
classes to purchase the best CLASS ol
wooden and cotton goods.
1t is claimed that the Mills bill puts raw
hides upon the free list. Such are the
straits to which the republicans and pro
tectionists are driven to prejudice the
people against reduction. Why raw hides
were put upon the free list in 1872, when
the republicans had control, and l think
properly so because our exports OF raw
hides have increased.
Do YOU know, fellow citizens, that no
other government imposes tax on wool?
Italy, Germany, England and France don't
do it. France attempted it, but result
was that the number of
sheep in that country decreased.
If had time might show you that when
the highest duty was on wool, in 1869, the
number of sheep decreased over 80 per
cent in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania
and other states. The tax operated like a
blizzard, and sheep passed away by the
million as if struck with the dry rot.
Again, the duty upon wool has been so
high that the people are debarred from
the luxury of pure wooden fabrics of any
value, Here, Colonel Castleman, (hand-
ing that gentleman piece of goods and
Doctor Bomont another,) examine them
and tell me if there is any wool in them.
The manufacturer himself says there
is not bit of wool in that
piece you have, Mr.. Castleman. 1t

Going Out with the Tide.

There is a belief that the soul of man lin
gers on the threshold of eternity until the
turn of the tide, and then, as the waves re-
cede, it goes out from the corporal clod to
float forever in the golden haze Thus arises
the question, "Dp mems souls go out with the
tide?" You know this superstition has long
existed, and there are living right here
amongst us hundreds of people who believe
in it. You remember, when Dickens was
alive, he was familiar with this superstition,
and in his novel, David Copperfield," he
does not let "Barkis" (who was so willin' to
marry Clara Peggotty) die until the turning
Of the tide in order to confirm the supersti-
ton on this point; and Shakespeare makes
Mrs. Quickly, in "Henry "" speaking of Sir
John Falstaf, say: "A parted even just be-
tween IL and |, cen at the turning O the
tide"
Right here in our own New England states
a physician whom l know of makes this
startling statement: "Within the last five
years, in a district embracing sixty square
miles or so, by the sea, have noted the hour
and the minute of no less than ninety-three
demises in my own immediate practice, and
every soul of them has always gone out with
the tide, save four who died by accident II
is riddle-a mystery. But l, who have sat
with my finger on the wrist Of many feeble
patient, and noted the pulse rise and
strengthen or sink and vanish with the turn
ing of the tide, know that it is fact" This
is the only piece of evidence, outside the
statements Of the romancers that has been
secured. 1 know that this doctor is a con-
scientious man, but he admits himself that it
is riddle and a mystery. Doctors-the most
learned in Boston and New York-have as
sured me that the result of this investigation,
heretofore alluded to, is simply coinci-
dence.
ats superstitious bosh;" that's the unani-
nous verdict, and the condemnation, like all
doctors alternatives or negatives, is sweep
ing cts bosh, and that settles it'll" is their
way of thinking. Doctors tell me they find
in their practice scores Of enlightened intel
ligent people who watch the action of the
tides more closely than they do the move
ment of the pulse, and if the patient fingers
after it has turned they heave sigh of relief
and say; "He will live till the tide comes in
again" No amount of argument will con-
vince these people that such is mistaken
notion; the superstition is too firmly rooted.

THE SOLDIERS OF JAPAN.

The Mlkado Awaiting Himself of the
Forces of Modern Civilization.
The arsenal of Koishikawa is Woolwich on
smaller scale, with 100 rifles and 10000
cartridges for its days work; the dock yard
at YokoSuka is not behind Woolwich and
Portsmouth in much except size, and first
rate torpedo boats and the most elaborate
modern ordnance are turned out there with
the regularity of Armstrong or Krupp; the
Armstrong cruisers lying Off Toxic bay are
almost the finest vessels of their class ahoat,
and could make matchwood of any British
vessels here except the flagship, and they are
manned and differed entirely by japanese
seamen; while the war department has at
least 10, 600 men under arms at this moment
and on a declaration of war could put 1000
troops Of all arms, and perhaps many more,
in the field, with weapons equal to any car
ried today except the latest repeating rifles,
all of whom would have served at least a
year with the colors, and the majority for
three years, and who would make desperate
fight against any army in the world. Yet
twenty-five years ago japanese soldiers wore
huge, grotesque, iron mask helmets to
brighten the enemy, chain and lacquer armor
to turn his blows, their great shoulder cannon
would have been Anticipated in England at
the time of the Armada, and they were led

Toxic is almost as full of soldiers as Metz;
there is hardly five minutes in the day when
you cannot hear bugle blown somewhere;
mounted orderlies are always trotting about;
sentries stand on guard almost as thick as
in France, and the groups and troops of
young soldiers in their white summer suits
and fiat German caps, with red or yellow
bands soon become the most familiar objects
in the city. The men themselves are neither
so short nor so slight as had expected, and
their resemblance in dress and face and build
to q company of South German recruits was
startling ut first sight. In their gymnastics,
which are very regular and thorough, they
are as good as Germans, which is saying O
good deal, and when stripped for these they
show solidly built, well developed bodies
exactly what Americans call "stocky." The
rigid precision and frequency of their salutes
too, would satisfy continental martinez
But the one paramount impression that il
left by careful and fairly complete persona
examination Of the japanese army is its re
semblance to similar forces in England.

The toady Repository Of Monday
assails the DEMOCRAT for our article
Of Saturday. We reproduce the article
in question to show thai the toady lies
under mistake:
CITIZENS of Canton may conclude
from the real estate offered in lots
round about that there is room fol
quite an additional population. In fact
there is good deal OF land out OF doors
yet.
The important thing is regular and
paying employment for our population
| This Is something to be soicitous
over: and our leading citizens are, as
| they have made manifest from time
TO time. In securing manufacturing
establishments hitherto our citizens
have made no mistake. They have
been and are substantial enterprises,
bringing solid capital of their own, and
an established business.
In these was no wild venture, or un-
substantial speculation and scheme.
Let our people continue to act with
similar prudence and caution, and so
let our city 90 on thriving with solid
prosperity. Canton does not invite un-
thrifty spectators, with empty hands
and hungry maWs; but rather men OF
real substance and with something
tangible,
Now. the DEMOCRAT will stand 10y
these sentiments every day of every
week regardless of toadies or tools
AS for the toady organs charge, that
the DEMOCRAT opposed the DeubeI
Works, etc, it is only necessary tomen-
ton it for every citizen OF Canton to
pronounce it an unnitigated falsehood,
which the Rep well knows. If our arti-
Gle Of Saturday hurts any man or set OF
men. they should be hurt. Men, or
syndicates who are straight and genu-
iue will not only, not feal, but will in,
vite scrntiny.
The DEMOCRATS article of Saturday
spoke for itself, and the toady organ
had not the fairness to publish it SO
hat its own readers could Judge for
themselves. This shows the lack OF
lecency and manliness in that toady
sheet, There is no doubt that Mr..
Deuber has been disgusted with the
Pep. mans constant, senseless, obse
Quious and disagreeable attentions
Mr.. Deuber is a man OF business and
capacity and can distinguish a truck
ling toady from man Of sense.
The DEMOCRAT proposes now, as

word. to save our city and citizens from

sharks. The Repository in its high
lying toadyism may take the other
track. if it choose The DEMOCRAT

IT seems there is little prospect OF
the Government telegraph bill passing
at this session of Congress. The meas
IRE is an important one and should be
enacted. Telegraphing should belong
TO government, now that it is so uni
versal among the people. The people
generally are about as much interested
in the telegraph as the postal system
As now conducted, telegrapbing is an
odious monopoly, really robbery If
the government cannot purchase at
fair price, let it build its own and so al
each postofiice have also telegraph
station. This is the case in Great
Britain and it works well.

Beacon claims that should the bill be-
