Bear Hunt Mt Cambridge.

While men were at work on the premises
of Harlow Wires OF Cambridge Friday,
they were considerably surprised to see a
large black bear come'out of the woods and
cross All open lot. They at once set after
him, but as the most effectual weapons at
their disposal were pitchforks they were
unable to capture him A hunting party
was Immediately oIganized and dogs put
on the track, but the latter refused to fol-
low, and his bearship made his escape.

Loss from Insects.

The annual loss to productive industries
in the United States caused by insects is
estimated at Sl50,000,000. Here is fair
battle between man and another sort of
earth occupiers. They are smaller, but il
they can whip us, have undoubtedly as
good a right to the world as we have. AS
civilization advances new insects make
their appearance, marching sometimes
eastward, but generally westward. There
are few, if any, forms of vegetation that
have no parasites that devour either foli-
age or fruit. The loss to the cotton crop
is estimated at $l5,000,OO0 year, while
that to the apple crop is not much less,
and that to the potato crop at least one
half as much. But the estimate is not a
fair one until into the loss is counted the
time spent in fighting to sccure the pro-
portion that is saved.-Erchan9e

The London Times" having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from il, editorially says: "It would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ foriy-five years
ago. and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad TO see Cleveland
Vsing them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right
name"

How to Reduce Yenr Expenses.

You can do it easily, and you will not
have to deprive yourself of a single COM
fort; on the contrary, you will enjoy life
more than ever. How can you accomplish
this result? Easily; cat down yonr doctor
bills. When you lose your appetite. and
become bilious and constipa,ed, and there
fore lows spirited, don't rush of to the
family physician for prescription, or. on
the other hand, wait until you are sick
ahed before doing anything at all but just
go to the druggists and for twenty-five cents
get supply of DR.. Pieree's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets Take them as directed and,
our word tor it, your unpleasant symptoms
will disappear ss if by magic, you will have
no Dig doctors bill to pay, and everybody
interested Except the dcctorl will feel

IT is seldom that any Congressional in
vestigating committee gets so speedily to
work, or so deeply into the business in
hand, IS that now engaged in inquiry
into the importation of contract laborers,
1t is essentially working committee and
intent upon doing its duty speedily. Let
it be hoped that it will manifest its desire
for thoroughness Of research into the ques-
tion in hand, also. Thus far it has not
brought to light much concerning importa-
tion Of Italian laborers that was not
already known. But the facts now have
official character and will unquestionably
be supplemented by new revelations plae-
ing beyond all question the proof that
Italian immigrants are brought to this
country under the most slavish of con-
tracts induced to immigrate by misrepre-
sentation Of the grossest character, and
once here are robbed and thrown upon

4 thrifty spirit has evidently taken root
N Georgia at last In the case of Con-
gresham K @ Mills, it did not agreeably
manifest itself, but that something of new
ideas Of gain have developed in that re-
gion was amusingly manifest in Atlanta
when Mr.. Mills snd his lieutenant went
there by invitation TO speak to the people
upon the tariff question They we're in
yited to come to Atlanta as was MIR. Nc
Kinley and Others to debate in series OF
mass meetings the tariff issues before the
people. Until Mr.. Mills was stopped at
the door of the hall and asked 10 paw an
admission fee OF fifty cents it had not been
revealed to the visiting statesmen that they
were being used as igure-pieces in show
for an admission fee. II then dawned
upon them that the thrifty Yankee had
not been immigrating to Georgia for the
last few years TO no purpose. Mr.. Mills
ought not to have lost his temper and have
made the air blue with his epithetical
rage, as it is confessed he did, for it is not
every orator who is paid so high compli-
ment as to be asked to plank down a round
fee for the privilege of listening to his own
discourse. Mr.. Mills, we regret to say. did
not appreciate the delicacy of the hattery,
but storned loudly and deeply. His Lieu
tenant Was more philosophical and realized
that it meant good deal when a large
audience in the solid South would pay =
heavy fee to hear the poetic snd entranc-
ing beauties OF the Mills tariff bill de-
bated lie prevailed upon Mr.. Mills to
swallow his rage and deliver the lecture
according to programme, and he diG. But

Mills will enjoy the distinction of prefix

tariff bill. There is but one way in which
the distinguished Congressman can Offset
the chatting of his ellow-members-let
him call upon the Atlanta managers of the
tariff show FOR diyision of the profits,
and then devote his share to fund for
the relief of American industries should
the calamity of his bill becoming a law
be visited upon the people.

THE San Francisco Bulletin is convinced
by a multitude of evidences that Central
and Northern California are bound to
make greater progress than any other sec
tions Of the State, and that they have al
ready entered upon the highway to great
prosperity. The Bulletin is correct in its
judgment. 1t is wholly unnecessary to re-
capitulate the reasons for it. The center
and north, notably the central, sections are
to contain the greater portion of the pop
ulation of the State. Here it is to be the
densest; here are to be the largest invest.
ments of capital and the busiest industrial
communities. Natural advantages of eli
mate, location, soil, rainfall, and the artifi.
cial ones Of commercial relation and trans
portation, insure to Central California a
near future of the highest state of prosper
ity to be attained upon the Pacific coast.

DURING the recent Teachers Conven-
ton in San Francisco some of the fore
most amongst the. Eastern educators
bitterly opposed State control and manu-
facture of school text books. 1t is lament
able that there was not single voice
raised in the debate by the California
teacheer in response. Have our educators"
nothing to say for the California system,
or are they all ''of mind with ex-Su-
perintendent F. NJ Campbell, who has at
least the courage to announce his enmity
to the California scheme? But though
California had no defender in the Conven-
ton, the people may confidently rely upon
the wisdom of their decision at the polls.
Theorists have time out of mind been
upset by practicsl experience, and it will
SO prove in the case of California's school
| textbooks.

THE San Francisco lila asks what there
is TO fear from the Mills bill when it re-
duces tariff taxation but 7 per cent, and
then that Journal proceeds to arraigu the
Republican State Convention for insin-
cerity in denouncing the bill. 1t ought to
be clear by this time to Democratic COM
prehension that the Republican party has
not opposed and does not now antagonize
the reduction of the tariff rates, except
where their removal will endanger home
industries and producing interests by bring
ing them into unequal and ruinous com.
petition with those of foreign lands. 1t i:
not merely the question OF reduction, but
the character of that proposed and the un.
disguised drift and tendency of the party
influences that promote the Mills bill.

IT is one of the deplorable evidences of
the demoralizing influence of hot political
contention that so able, finished, and gem
orally dignifed journal as Harper's
Weekly should be led into the folly of
speaking of the Republican as the party
of 'free whisky The accomplished edi-
tor of that journal knows perfectly well
that the charge has not a leg to stand
upon; that in declaring for the abolition
of all internal revenue taxes in preference
to the abandonment of protection to
American industries, the Republican party
has not declared for free whisky. On the
contrary, it has expressly uttered con-
trary sentiment. Mr.. Curtis knows per-
fectly well that to withdraw the national
tax from liquors will result in heavier
tax being laid upon them by the States,
and thus the sObriety of the people be
promoted 50 far as taxation can do it.

THE dispatches announce that the Chi
cago scheme to purchase Libby prison and
remove it to Chicago for exhibition has
fallen through. We are glad of it-any
such scheme to coin money out of cruel
memories of the war between people of the
same nation is offensive. Panoramas, en-
cravings, etc, of war scenes, etc, stand
upon a different basis. They relate TO
history as object lessons, while the propo-
sition to exhibit Libby prison can have no
other basis than that of speculation upon
the curiosity Of the people to look upon a
building where Union prisoners suffered
indignity, hunger and cruel confinement.
1t would add nothing to historical knowl-
edge, recall no valuable reeolleations, and
in no sense tend to narrow the gulf that

THERE is good deal of speculation
afoot concerning the delay of President
Cleveland to send in his letter of accept
ance. Can it be that ne has found the
impossible barrier to satisfactory an
swer to be that explanation about a second
term? We confess that we cannot by
greatest ingenuity Of thought conceive OF
any other excuse Mr. Cleveland can offer
for his remarkable change of front He
denounced a second-term possibility as
dangerous to the Republic, and declared
that the organic act should be amended 50
as to prohibit President succeeding him
sell. On that pledge-for one-Mr. Cleve-
land ran into Office Once seated, how
ever, he Immediately began to plan for
reelection, wholly ignoring the preaching
of his campaign, and not once suggesting
to Congress the propriety Of early submit
ting to the people the proposed amend
ment. There is not of record another in
stance anywhere OF an executive having
acceded to power upon definite and
afirmatiVely stated proposition, and when
installed coolly casting it aside without
deigning one word of excuse.
