A Great Stampede.

That there is widespread dissatis-
faction in the democratic ranks on
the tariff question, especially in the
Eastern States, notably in New York,
Connecticut, and New Jersey cannot
be denied Every day the dispatches
announce the names of democrats
more or less prominent who have
publicly renowned Cleveland and
free trade and declared IN favor of
Harrison and protection. Yesterday
it was announced in the New York
papers that the Albany, New York
Times, an influential democratic
journal, had, in the most positive
terms, repudiated Cleveland and free
trade; and so it goes on from day to
day, a regular stampede from the
Democratic to the Republican party.

have studied history to little advant-
age if you can see anything In that
If the abolition party had continued
on its radical ground what would
have been the result? Slavery would
have been national to-day, for if Alb
raham Lincoln had taken his stand
on a platform Of absolute abolition
he would have been defeated and
slavery would have been more en-
trenched than ever. So the good
sense of the people said, we viii pro
hibit slavery in the territories where
we have jurisdiction and leave the
matter to the states, and on this
principle they won. So if MIR. Har-
rison had stepped on a radical pro
hibition platform at Chicago he
would have been defeated and whis-
key entrenched for generation
But as he is on the common ground
IN favor of local government on the
matter by the states while adopting
the general principle of temperance
in all ways, or rather the anti-saloon
ground, he will be elected and the
great temperance reform will move
on. Why cannot you be as wise as
the old abOlitiOnists who supported
Fremont and Lincoln on a less radi-
cal platform than they deemed ex-
actly right. You may talk of con
science and all that, but conscience
without common sense IS only fanati-
cism in republic like ours 1t
troubles my conscience to think that
the only obstacle in. the way Of ulti-
mate prohibition is the utter i'm
practically Of those who blindly put
out hopeless third party ticket to
stop the progress of events to that
end. Besides your party is not act
ing on a high moral plan. You con
fess that the democratic party is op.
posed to prohibition and that you
intend to oppose it after you have
beaten the republican party. When
my good brother, did you adopt the
principle, we will do evil that GOOD
may come? You will put the dew
in power that you may fight him
Verify, if that is conscience, [ an
thankful that I have none Of tina
kind
I will not burden you with tn
many inconsistencies Of your opposi
ton to the republican party. Be
cause the republican party says tina
rather than break down the prOtec
tive tariff system they would in
contingency repeal the tax on liquor
you abuse them, or rather you
spokesman do, and call them the fire
whisky party" when in the very pla
form on which you stand there is
declaration in favor of the uncond
tional and immediate repeal of thu
/ tax. Does your conscience endOrs
such an inconsistency? IF it does
q am happy to say mine does not. b
/ lieving as I do that your movemel
g Is an injury and foe to the cause
t prohibition I can only hope and pre-
s and vote for the success of the repu
Y Iican party. Wishing you success
all laudable work for the cause
# righteousness, I subscribe myself We
I kindly and fraternally your brother

Queer People.

This is the title Of the latest and by all
odds the most charming book for little
people we have ever seen. Its fables, or
stories, are delightful, but the illustrations
are simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is a new star
in the Juvenile armament, but he shines
with unique bIilliaucy. His charming ia-
bles rival those of the world famed IEsop,
and he far outshines that celebrated liter
AIRY comet by his inimitable illustrations.
He dresses up his birds, animals, insects,
giants, FAIRIES, goblins, ETC., in grotesque
style and makes them reason, talk, dance,
and cut up all sorts of the oldest pranks
imaginable, afiording Infinite delight, as
well as excellent instruction to the young.
The issue OF his book "Queer People" has
brought perfect ovation of praise from
the brightest men in the land. For in
stance, General Clinton b. Fisk says: at
has set my children wild with delight"
and Col, Russell II. Conwell, the famous
lecturer, says: Don't send me another
copy of such a book, for l can't get ms
children to bed"
AhN AollA'hN nAthlNaAAAaiAf hlPAplilht hu u
wit, Sunset Cox, says; "The Kweer Ka-
pers arc simply Incompatible while the
distinguished theologian, DR.. Howard
Crosby, says: "They have the fascination
that belongs to Esop and Uncle Remus, y
and the venerable poet, DIR. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, writes; 81 am sorry have
not a nursery full of little folks to enjoy
| its bright pictures aud strorys."
Esop's fables are enjoyed by old and
young and are quoted by the greatest
orstors and surely these equally charming
stories, so promsely and exqusitly illus,
trated will charm young and old for gen
1 erations to come,
The sale of this book will surely be
enormous. 1t it published by the well,

A Divers Fight with a Shark.

A diver named Quintreo had a re-
markable fight with a formidable fish
called the bou. .tous or bondro, a kind
of shark, which infests the Breton coast.
at Douarnenez, the other day. Quin-
tree had narrow escape. The diver,
an old salt, was employed by the Gov
ernment, and in pursuit of his daily
labor duly descended, in diving appa-
ratus, off the Douarnenez pier for the
purpose of laying the foundation of an
addition to that structure.
While he was at the bottom of the
sea the men who were working the air
pump in the pontoon boat above were
suddenly frightened by feeling the
alarm signal. They Immediately pulled
up and brought large boultous, nearly
eight feet long to the surface. The
marine monsters head formed three
quarters of his length, and his under
jaws were of immense size. Shortly
afterward Quintree came up, his hand
on the air-pipe of his helmet and his
diving apparatus somewhat damaged.
When he went down to his WORK he
O~ay o. a. - ----s,--sA Al .
ladder when he saw the sea monster
lying between two huge Jumps of rock.
He had in his hands only his stone
chisel and hammer, and he intended
to go up for a crowbar at once, but the
fish was too fast for him.
It came toward him through the
green water with its enormous jaws
wide open. Without losing a moment
Quintree managed to wound the animal
in the throat with his chisel, and then
held it down on a stone while he drew
his knife and made hole in its body
through which he passed rope, and
thus sent the fish to the surface. Had
it not been for his quickness and dex-
terity the diver, owing to the rents
which the fish would make in his appa-
