They were not tho majority of the

interests. Nor were the real leaders
to be found i'll the House. The men
who dictated the policy of the party
were not ut Washington at all They
were at their places of business. The
tariff lords-men who profit-were
the power behind the Chicago cou.

the platform and raised the money
with which New York aud Indiana
were Carried. 1t is they that are now
aiming to arouse violent sectional
feeling, not because they particularly
like the South. but because their
business interests are ilnperilcd, they
fancy. by that section. They have
two objects, it is said. to accomplish.
One is to put stop to the material
development Of the South. Many Of
them have bought up vast areas Of
Southern ore and coal lands with
that object in view, but that method
is too expensive. Pittsburg looks
with dismay Mt the growing ship

able, they may he expected to be-
come competitors of the Northern in.
dustries of the same kind. Bad goy-
eminent, turmoil and disorder would
arrest the development of varied in.
dustries in the South, to the great
advantage of tariff lords having all
their investments in Northern States.
Hence it is held, the policy now pre-
sented, the object of which is to
protect" the tariff lord against in
ternal competition as cffectually as
he is now protected by law against
external competition. The ruin of
the South, the handing it over to
harbarism and dccay-this, it is said,
is the price these schemcrs wish the
country to pay for their well being.
Another purpose is to provide against
n future loss OF electoral votes in
Northern States. The last election
showed that the workingmen of the
Northern cities are not favorable to
the doctrine of protection. They
read and think too much. and are not
to be trusted for the future, But the
colored man of the South eau be
trusted, it is believed, to vote the
protectionist ticket To him the
party of great moral ideas may com

elections with the assurance that IT

West and Northwest continue To

but it will be wiser to have in the
South, the tariff lords believe, an
impregnahle wall of electoral votes

How to Get to Sleen.

n suggestion recently made in regard
10 methods of inducing or promoting

test by one reader of the Nav York
Tribune with most gratifying results
Inc suggestion was that sleep could be
woocd successfully by a method of
counting in this fashion: 1, 9; 1, 9, 3;
], 2, 3, 4; ], 9, 3, 4. 5, etc, up to %.
The cNrcrimcntcr relates his experience
i'll the following language: my plan is
not 10 count rapidly, but to call of
mentally one figure with every expiration

he must count Tor about sixteen min

The American Consul at Acapulco rs.
Serts that one of the reasons why the
United States fails to successfully com.
pete with Germany and England for
the trade of Mexico is because o,lr
manufacturers and merchants insist upon
"ndeavoring TO sell by circular instead OF
by sample, and also because we disregard
the conservatism of Mexican buyers, who,
once accustomed TO buying things made
III certain way, cannot be induced to
change 10 another article, no matter how
superior it may be. In other words, his
advice is to consult the prciudiccs of the
McXicans and not attempt to impose
American tastes and ideas upon n people
reluctant to accept them.

Cmriosiffcs Of Natural Gas.

One writer as IS whether it Is safe TO
pore the earth too much. lie assumes the
earth to be n hollow sphere filled with
II gaseous substance called by us natural
gas, and he thinks that tappinr these
reservoirs will cause disastrous cxDlo-
ons, resulting from the lighted gas
coming in contact with that which i, es-
Gaping. Earthquakes, he says, arc prob
ably caused by vacunms created bv the
outiiowins gas. He compares the earth
to II balccn floatcd and kept distcnd cd
by the gas IN the interior, which, if en-
ha'Istcd, will cause the crust to colapsc.
affect the motion of the earth in its Or
bit, causes it to lose its place among the
heavenly bodies, and fall in pieces.
Another writer thinks that boring
should be prohibited by stringent laws.
He, too, thinks there is possibility of
an explosion, though from another cause.
Should sach disaster occur, .'thc coun-
try along the gas-belt from Toledo
through Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky
will be ripped up to the depth of twelve
or fifteen hundred feet, and Topped over
like pancake, leaving chasm through
which the waters of Lake Erie will come
bowling down, filling the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Valleys. and blotting them out
forever"
Still another thcorist has investigated
the gas-wc.ls with telephones and deli
cate thermometers, and he announces
startling discoveries. lie distinguished
sounds like the boiling Of rocks, and cs-
timatcd that mile and n half or so be.
meath Findlay the temperature of tho
earth is $500 degrees. The scientist SAYS
an immense cavity exists under Findlay.
and that here the gas is stored; that a
mile below the bottom of the cavity is
mass of roaring, secthing flame, which
Is gradually eating into the rocky floor
of the cavern and thinning it. Evcntu-
ally the flames will reach the gas, ter
rifle explosion will cnsue, and Findlav

Happy Poverty of tho Japanese.

1t is question rs to whether
the Japanese poor arc not on
the whole less miserable than the
poor of Britain. While in winter the
English poor are cold, hungry and dir
ty in their novels, the poor OF this coun-
try can be comparatively clean in their
homes, where the floor and few dish
es are the only things in use. Plain,
unsalted rice, cooked over the little
charcoal brazier, is bread and meat to
them AMI much cheaper than the real
articles in England. Instead of splash
ing through rain and mud to their Ia.
bors barcfooted or in leather shoes and
suffering from cold and wet without
fire, tho Japanese walks on
wooden sandals, removed from
the ground several inches by
stats on the soles, and is able to enter
the house with dry feet, and never hav-
ing known any other way than the art Of
sitting on them to keep warm, is soon
comfortable. The rico straw and oiled
paper make rain cloaks and umbrellas,
and japanese must be very poor indeed
who cannot avail himself of the luxury
of an occasional hot bath.
Every street corner has bath house,
where every evening tho water in the
great tubs is heated to nearly boiling
heat, and for less than a cent an indi-
vidual can avail himself of it,as the Same
water does for tho evening, be there

Bees as Desnafch Rearers.

An experiment has been mldc in Eng
land which has resulted in proving that
bees fly faster than carrier pigeons, in
fact, that little insignificant looking,
hot footed bee can beat the handsomest
pigeon home in five case, out of six.
This being the CASE the future must
witness Tie suppianting of carrier pig
cons by carrier bees. The latter have
much to recommend them for this pur-
pose. A carrier bee Will he hard to hit.
A marksman that would bring down a
pigeon would utterly fail to hit bee.
There is nothing in pigeons tail to in
spirc the respect of foe. There is in n
bees. The rude hand of the trifcr that
would try to stop the carrier bee in his
GRAND would be withdrawn suddenly
and rubbed vchcmently. With the aid
of micro photography, tic carrying of
long messages by bee would be n mat
Ter presenting no obstacles. A column
of reading matter could be fastened to
its thighs and a long despatch affixed to
one of its feet. Clearly the bee has an.
important place to fill in the wars of the
future.
