81 tell you one thing" says a
prominent Republican, "and that is
that Republicans who lost their
places when Cleveland came in
should not believe that those places
belong to them. find general
sentiment of that sort. All of the
office-holders want to get back, and
they seem to feel that their claims
are far superior to those of anybody
else. In fact, they advocate their
appointment upon the sole ground
that they lost the place four years
ago. Now, think that somebody
else should have show We want
new blood. We do not want to see
the same old crowd always in place,
just as if it held mortage on all the

pleased to see President Harrison

Textile workers Hear Plnin
Truths Al,0Mt Election Proin-


A movement designed to reor-
ganize the 34,OOOHtextile workers in
this city was started on Friday
evening in Liberty Council Hall,
No. 1888 Germantown avenue
About 200 workers were present,
and addresses were made by w. j.
Fork, Samuel Gompers, John s.
Kirchner and p. ]. Mcguire. OF
the 81, 900 textile workers employed
in this city but 900 belong to the
Textile Workers Union, and the
speakers urged that all the workers
should ally themselves with the
union.
t.About the time of a certain Presi-
dental election" said one speaker,
ayou were told that if a certain
candidate should be elected you
would be protected and-well paid.
He was elected, and Immediately
thereafter there occurred cuts in
wages to the extent of absolute rob
bery. The protective tariff is not
protection to labor, but organization
is. .''-Phtlddelphid Record

The Presbyterian Banner says:
"Mrs. Cleveland left the White
House not only with the sincere re-
spect of all who had made her ac-
quaintance, but of the entire nation.
That one so young and inexperienc-
cd should have filed her high position
so we'll is good cause for congratu-
lation. And the ex-President him
self goes again to the practice of his
profession carrying with him the
conviction that though defeated for
a second term, he has sought to dis
charge faithfully the duties entrust-
ed to him as he understood them
The welcome given by him and Mrs.
Cleveland to their successors, Gen
cral and Mrs. Harrison, was highly
creditable, and contrasts most favor
ably with the conduct of one of his
predecessors, who left Washington
in anger the night before the in
auguration of his successor. The
spectacle of a great nation of over
sixty millions of people changing its
chief executive in an hour, without
alarm or excitement, is one which
Europe can not understand"

The contracts for the construction

The contracts for the construction
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's big bridge over the Ohio
River just below Pittsburgh have
been made. The structure is de-
signed to connect the Pan Handle
and Fort Wayne Railroads. 1t will
be mile in length, and will cost
over 100000. The bridge will
consist of two deck spans, each 121
feet long, over the CHARTERS turn
pike, eleven deck spans, each III
feet long, over Brunot's Island; two
channel spans, one 416 feet and the
other 425 feet long; one span over
the Pittsburgh and Western Road
of 1877 feet; two spans over the Fort
Wayne yards $50 feet in length
each. and one iron viaduct 80 feet
long, paralleling and gradually
sloping to the grade of the Fort
Wayne Road. 1t will be an iron
and steel structure, aud will be one
of the finest railroad bridges in that
section of the country. The entire
work was let to Pittsburg parties.

Since MIR. Harrison's inauguration
failures in the iron trade have av-
eraged one day. Mills have been
shut up, wages reduced, and work
men thrown out of employment. 1t
Mr.. Cleveland had been re. elected
the unnatural depression would have
been laid at the door of the Dem
ocratic party.
Cleveland was not reelected.
Protection has not been touched,
and the business stagnation con-
tinues. No industry is protected
more than the iron industry. 1t
owes it's marvellous growth to the
unhealthy stimulation of high tariff
taxes. In few years, iron and
steel plants sprung up like mush-
rooms in night. Millionaires
were made by the score, but while
this was being done, prudence was
cast to wind, speculation ran rife,
the supply far exceeded any posi-
BILE demand, and business ruin fol.
lowed.
The present condition only illus
trates the fact that protection does
not protect. 1t can not supply the
place of business foresight or create

Insects That Are Our Friends.

While destroying insects we often
come upon those-sometimes larve,
sometimes which look black
and diseased; these are harboring
our insect friends and SO should
not be destroyed. Again, many
Larvae, like those of the cabbage
caterpiIIars, tomato and grape
sphinxes, are frequently seen with
whitish or yellowish egg-like messes
thiclkly covering the back; these
little bodies are cocoons of parasitic
flies, and so should never be de-
stroyed. OF predacious insects
most likely to be killed are the
wasps All the wasps arc preda-
cious. and do great good in killing
insect pests. The dread of wasps
is needless, as they rarely sting il
molestcd. Not only yellow jackets
and the large Whitehead wasps
casually called white faced hornets)i
but the solitary mud-wasps or sand
wasps (Which are usually black, OF

sect pests. The ground beetles
which are usually black, with long
legs, fitted for running, are also
good friends. They destroy hosts
of cutworms, white grnbs, etc
These ground beetles are often seen
in grass, under stones and boards
their black color and long legs and
quick running habit makes it easy
to identify them. The little yellow
rounded ladybird beetles are also
predacious and very valuable
These are often orange, and many
species have black dots upon theil
back. These beetles feed upor
plant-lice and other insects and
should never be destroyed. No
only do the beautiful little beetle.
feed upon insects, but the elongated
grubs or larvae are equally our
friends. 1 have often received
these ladybird beetles from those
who found them in the house and
feared they might be the carpct
beetle. The buffalo carpet beetle i.
hardly larger than a pinhead, and
SO need never be mistaken for these
or these for them.-N. Y Tribune
