s'sunset" Cox is Dead.

The halls of Congress will never
more echo the applause with which
the sallies of .Sunset" Cox were wont
to be greeted. The brilliant orator,
the polished gentleman, the exquisite
humorist whose name has been assoc
ciated with the House OF Representa-
tives perhaps more Familiarity than
that of any other member in the last
two decades, is no more. His death
occurred in New York last Tuesday
after short illness.
Samuel S. Cox has been we'll
known figure ON the political stage
ever since the close of the war. A
native and u favored son of OHIO,
which state he represented in Con-
gress eight years, he moved in 1865
to New York, where political honors
were again quickly showered upon
him. Resuming his Congressional
career. he continuously represented his
district of the Nations metropolis in
the popular branch, interrupted only
by the term of his residence in Con-
stantinople as United States Minis
ter to Turkey. Last November his
constituents again honored him with
election to the Fifty-First Congress.
1t is a curious fact that the very
trait of character which brought him
his greatest popularity really stood in
the way of his advancement to higher
honors. This was his irrepressible
wit. He was man of splendid at
tainments and excellent judgment,
and was rarely gifted in the elegant
use of both tongue and pen; but no
one knew when his climaxes would
end in u joke, and the more substan-
tian graces of his mind were hidden
by the scintillating flashes of his
humor. In other words, he lacked
the dignity which his other gifts would
have so well adorned; and he will be
remembered less as a statesman than
as consummate master in the lighter
forms of debate.
Mr. Cox was lawyer by training
and profession, out a journalist by
choice and practice His familiar
nick name was won by a marvellous
piece of word painting descriptive OF
a sunset as seen from shipboard off
the South American coast. He was a
contributor to the leading periodicals
Of the day, and was public speaker
of great popularity Much as his
genial presence will be missed from
The pages of the magazines and the
platforms throughout the land, his
loss will be most keenly felt by those
who knew his drollness and genial
good humor amid the dull and tedious
happenings of a Congressional session.

South who are greatly elated over the
probable success Of their pet scheme.
All the republican congressman from
that section are united on one point.
They are willing to reduce the reve-
nues from customs by increasing the
tariff, if they can thus secure the
abolition of the internal revenue tax.
In this they expect the co-ooeration
of the North and West, They have
the official Endorsement of the re-
publican party in this matter and in
Mckinley of Ohio they possess an
able and energetic friend The meas
ure to a certain extent, originated
with him so far as the Chicago con
vention is concerned, and he is bank
ing not little on this fact in his
canvass for speaker.
Another candidate, Mr., Reed of
Maine, has swung into line in order
to secure the support Of the seventeen
southern republican members, and is
advising them to stand like a stone
wall for their pet idea, 1t is now adj
mitted that the president is in favor
of it and will urge in his message to
congress nasty consummation of
the scheme.
Thus far the only candidate who
has had the courage to even partly
oppose the plan is a western man,
Cannon of Illinois. Even he is truck
ling to the southern contingent to the
extent of 30 per cent. He says that
he will not agree to greater reduc-
ton of internal revenue duties than
one-half. The other 80 per cent he
proposed TO take off the customs
duties. This is the most honorable
stand taken by any of the would-be
speakers, As Cannon rightly says.
the people of the West, republicans
or democrats. will not consent to
tariff legislation which only benefits
the South. The agriculturists of the
great West are straining, as it is, to
make bare living under the exorb-
liant tariff of to-day, and they will
never approve of the plan to give
them cheaper tobacco and fruit brandy
at the expense of the necessities OF
life. What they want is cheaper
clothes, cheaper implements and
cheaper Irvine. Nothing is more dis
gushing to thoughtful, independent
man than to see half dozen candi-
dates for nominal office bartering
the welfare of the people with a few
sectional politicians -0maho World.

The Business Outlook.


The outlook for general trade
throughout the country has brighten
ed materially within the past two
weeks. Wheat and cotton are much
more than average crops this years,
with a fair probability that the yield
of the former has reached, and that
of the latter will reach, a point close
to the highest figures ever yet attain
ed. And coincidently with these good
harvests here there are bad harYests
in some of the great producing coun-
tries of the Old World Other cereals,
too, in addition to wheat promise to
equal, if not exceed, the heaviest
crops Of the past. In proportion to
supply the demand is likely to be
more active than in recent years, thus
assuring to the producer, by the mag
nitude of his stores, fair profit for
his outlay in time and money, while
guaranteeing to the consumer an
abundance of the necessities at low
rates.
Agriculture being still the leading
interest in the country, the crops are
prime factors in determining the bus
mess situation. For this reason the
country may confidently look for in
creased railway earnings and an ex-
pansion in the clearances of the banks
in the chief cities. In both of those
lines of activity there have been gains
throughout the year, as compared
with 1888. For the next few months
the improvement will probably he
still greater and the evidences of gen
eral prosperity more marked and
conspicuous. The changed conditions
moreover are beginning to be re-
Elected on the exchanges. The de-
preston in stocks and speculative
commodities which has been the rule
throughout the season is being re-
placed by a brisker inquiry and firmer
tone. In the more solid and trust
worthy lines of stocks there has been
a moderate but well-sustained advance
in prices.
1t is true that the success of the
Treasury in its bond-purchase policy
has done much toward bringing about
the satisfactory conditions which pre-
vail, and this, of course involves as
a corollary the possibility that fail

An Eel Yarn.

One of the most novel sights in the
spring of the year at the rocks of the
Willamette Falls is the swarms of gyrat-
ing cells. They are friskiness itself, and
show low order of intelligence. If you
put your hand in the water over the GELS,
or spit on it, instantly they are gone.
But poke q stick down among the shaky
things and they will not notice II. Inc
sense OF smelling seems to be their main
guard against danger. Like salmon, they
do their level best to dart up the rocks in
order to ascend the river, and with good
success. Says fisherman: II have seen
rs many as hundred bushels of eeEs
hanging on the rocks at one time Dy the
suckers of their mouths. They would
wiggle and fling up their tails and by the
momentum thus obtained, letting go with
their suckers, jump up about six inches
higher. I caught about forty barrels last
season, that I salted and sold to the
Columbia fishermen for bait. / picked
them off the rocks with fishhook tied
to pole. I started at the bottom row
of GELS and would pick off barrels of them.
The upper rows hadn't sense enough to
perceive the enemy. I have caught eels
in the headwaters of the Santiam, in the
Cascade Mountains. Suppose they had
swum up the Willamette. (0regon)

A Mule That Refused to be Borrowed.

"Speaking of hoss thieves" said the
old farmer as he leaned back with q
chuckle, "but I've had two or three funny
experiences with them. About five years
ago had valuable hoss, and had to
work all kinds of tricks to prevent his
being stolen. One day o feller came
along in buggy, pretending he wanted
to buy a farm, and he made two or three
moves around the stable which satisfied
me that he was spotting the hoss. I wasn't
feeling well and couldn't stay up all night
to act as guard, and so I put my hoss in q
neighbor's barn and brought his mule
over to my stable. That mule was the
worst kicker on top O. the earth, and I
knew there'd be fun if a visitor appeared.
On the fourth morning I went out to find
the would-be purchaser of my farm lying
under shed in the barnyard with q
broken leg and scalp wound.
"'Hcllop says I whats happenedF

me just at your gate, and I think I'm

Last spring about half a amillion young
shad were placed soon after Matching In q
large pond in Washington, and were care
fully tended and fed and protected from
enemies during the whole of the period
which the young shad spends in fresh
water. The young fishes prospered and
grew rapidly, and nearly all Of them were
still alive when the time for migrating to
the ocean came in the fall. The gates OF
the pond were then opened one morning,
and all day long the silver stream OF
young shad poured out through them ala
started on the long journey down to the
sea. Ali naturalists will look forward
with the greatest interest to the time
when these fishes return, bringing back
with them to the fishermen Of the Poto:
mac the wealth of food which they have
gathered in the ocean. In the mean time
we may indulge the hope that the strong
constitutions which they have acquired
during their carefully nurtured youth will
enable them to excel their less favored
brothers, and that when they reach our
market they will have some of the ex-
cellence of our improved garden pro-
ducts. rs
But this is not all. These shad were
reared from selected eggs. The adults
which entered our waters first In the
spring are most valuable to the fishermen,
since they are put upon the market at .
time when fresh fish are scarce and high
priced. Our experience with garden
vegetables justifes the expectation that
the eggs of early shad shall themselves
give birth to early shad. Now, all the
young fishes which were put into the Fish
Commission pond were hatched from eggs
taken from the earliest shad Of the season,
and, If this process of selection be puf7
sued for few years, we may feel conf
dent that the Potomac River will soon
abound in shad of extra quality at the
time when fine shad are hardest to get
and most valuable.-P1pular Science

A Man-Eater and Her Victim.

The notorious Jounsar man-eating
tigress has at last been killed by a
young forest officer. This tigress has
been the scourge of the neighborhood
of Chakrata, India, for the last ten
years, and her victims have been in
Vulnerable. On one occasion she seized
one out of number of foresters who
were sleeping together in hut, carried
him off, and deliberately made him over
to her cubs to play with, while she pro-
tected their innocent gambols from
being disturbed. His companions were
eventually forced to take refuge in a
tree from her savage attacks. Here
they witnessed the following CHASTITY
tragedy: The tigress went back and
stood over the prostrate form of her
victim and purred in a catlike and self
complacent way to her cubs, who were
romping about and rolling over the ap-
parently lifeless body. She then lay
down a few yards off, and with blink
ing eyes watched the gambols of her
young progeny. In few moments the
man sat up and tried to beat the young
brutes off. They were too young to
hold him down, so he made desperate
attempt to shake himself free, and
started off at q run; but before he had
gone twenty yards the tigress bounded
out and brought him back to her cubs.
Once more the doomed wretch had to
defend himself over again from their
playful attacks. He made renewed at
temps to regain his freedom, but was
seized by the old tigress and brought
back each time before he had gone many
yards. His groans and cries for help
were heartrending; but the men on the
tree were paralyzed with fear and quite
unable to move. At last the tigress her
self joined in the gambols of her cubs,
and the wretched man was thrown about
and tossed over her head exactly as
many of us have seen our domestic cat
throw rats and mice about before begin
ming to feed on them. The mans efforts
at escape grew feebler. For the last time
they saw him try to get away on his
hands and knees toward large fir tree,
with the cubs clinging to his. limbs.
This final attempt was as futile as the
rest. The tigress brought him back once
again, and then held him down under
her forepaws, and deliberately began her
living meal before their eyes.
It was this formidable beast that the
young Coopers Hill officer and student
attacked on foot. They were working
up her trail, fifteen yards apart, when
suddenly Mr.. Osmaston heard his younger
companion groan, and turning round
saw him borne to the ground by the
tigress. Mr.. Osmaston fortunately sue
ceeded in shooting her through the spine,
and second ball stopped her in mid.
spring. Meantime his companion rolled
over the hill, and was eventually dis
covered insensible few feet away from
his terrible assailant. He is terribly
mauled, and now lies at the Chakrata
Station Hospital, where hopes of his re-
covery are entertained.-Lundon Times.
