The claim is made for the city OF Bos-
ton that its drainage or sewage system
presents one of the most perfect engineer
ing triumphs of its kind in the world,
though, of course, not the most exten-
sive. The works provide for the dis

in forty minutes, the operation commen-

Island at one or one and half hours
after high tide, when the outward cur
rent past the outlet is we'll established.
As the sewage is lighter than the sea
water 1t rises toward the surface soon
after being discharged, and spreads out
until It has depth of less than a foot.
Half an hour from the beginning OF the
discharge the sewage covers an area of
about half mile in diameter; in this
condition the sewage, already consider
ably diluted, moves outward with the
current, and further dilution takes place,
the process going on most rapidly at the
bottom Of the layer of sewage. Up to
certain stage in this progress OF dilution,
the surface of the sewage contains enough
greasy matter to prevent waves, except
when the wind blows very hard; and,
when the dilution of the sewage has pro-
gresscd SO far that waves begin to form
and It's specific gravity has approached

mixed with water from greater depths,
and very soon cannot be distinguished
from unpolluted sea water, this last
change usually taking place in less than
an hour and half after the sewage is
discharged, and at distance frota the
outlet not exceeding two miles.

''In the common conception of the
public" sagely observes Chicago paper,
call Italians are essentially one people,
and all are dubbed 'dsgoes, but the lat
ter term, which originated, we believe,
in New Orleans, really applies only to
Sicilians." There is no reason, lectures
the Chicago Post, using this misstatement
for text, why ignorance should insult
good taste. "Dago" (of which the
plural is written "dagoes," not "dagos')
Is corruption of Diego, the Spanish
form of James. San Diego or st. James
is among south European nations the
patron saint of sailors. English sailors
caught up the name from the lips of their
Spanish, Portuguese and Italian mates
centuries ago aud perverted it into the
easier form "dago." Tiers is, prop
erly speaking, no offense in the word.
Columbus was himself a "dago," for
Genoa is as much q Mediterranean sea-
polt as Palermo.

Party Blindness.

ED. AGITATOR: 1t seems incOmpre-
hensible that, in the face of all prece-
dent as regards the Republican party for
the last twenty-five years, there are
farmers and labOrers who are 80 infatu-
ated and party blind that they think their
dear old party will help them if you will
only try them once more.
1t is an old saying that there is no one
so blind as he that will not see, or so deaf
as he that will not hear.
Now, AS believe that all Republicans,
without any exceptions, revere the name
and memory of the immortal Lincoln,
and think he was as perfect as 1t was pos
sible to attain in this world, would ask
you partisans to listen to a bit of prOph-
ecy, and see if what he predict ed isn't in
fair way to be consummated if We do
not look out sharp. In a message to
congress in 1851 (see Barratt's Life of
Lincoln, pages 800 and 310), he gives
this important warming:
Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted
at as a possible refuge from the power Of
the people. In my present position, l
could scarcely be justified were to omit
raising warning voice against the ap-
prOach of returning despOtism. There
is one point to which ask a brief atten-
tion il is the effort to place capital on
an equal footing with, if not above, labor,
in the structure of government. Let

ing a political power which they already
have, and which, if surrendered. will
surely be used to close the door of ad-
vancement against such rs they, and to
fix new disabilities and burdens upon
them till all liberty shall be lost
Again, near the close of the war, he
wrote:
Yes. we may all congratulate our
selves that this cruel war is nearing to a
close. 1t has cost a vast amount of treas
nre and blood. The best blood of the
flower OF American youth has been free
ly offered upon our country's altar that

WHEN you hear a man say that our
money should be based upon gold, ask
him how much gold there is in the
country. Nine hundred and ninety
nine times out of thousand, he can't
tell you ANYTHING about it. Then
give him this fact to ponder: There
has not been mined in the whole
world, during the past century,
enough gold to move the products Of
the United States for one year. This
is fact. Then how can our money
be based upon gold?

suspicious may prove groundless.
These are the words Of warning from
our country's sainted martyr. Shall we
heed them before 1t Is too late!
The history of the Republican party
for the last twenty eight years is dark
blot upon the page of our cOuntry's his
tory. AS result of the war: shoddy
aristocracy sprung up; combinations
and trusts have been formed; honest
in business crowded out, and
the people swindled generally. And the
Republican party is responsible for it all.
They have been in office so long that
they have lost all shame and decency,
and are running it in the interest OF
But the people are begin
ming to think there is something wrong
when the government gives to the ma
tional banks $6O, 1000, 900, upon which
they are not paying one cent interest; !;
and when the FARMERS ask Tor the loan
of some money at a small rate OF lnTer-
est, they are told that the banks VIII
graciously loan it to them for from 3 to
IL per cent.
Now, farmers and laborers. here is
some more interesting reading. Although
printed some time ago, it is very appll-
cable to-day:
EXTRACTS FROM THE NATIONAL BANKERS
"Oppose the issuing Of greenback pa
per money. Let the government issue
the coin, and the banks the paper money,
for then we can better protect ourselves.
TO repeal the law creating national
banks, and have the government issue
the money, will be to provide the people
with money, which will seriously affect
our individual profits as banker and lend
er. SEE YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AT
ONCE, and engage him to support OUR
interest THAT WE MAY CONTROL LEGIS-
LATION.
"JAMEs BEwELL, Sec'y."
Mark you, it says, "engage your con-
gressman." Do you see where your
millionaires come from?
Now, farmers and labOrers, no " does
that sound? You old soldiers, who
were paid SIG per month, in currency
that the government deprecated in or

"The speech with which Oliver
Cromwell turned parliament out Of

evidence that it is authentic. 1t was
this:

Is there one vice ye do not possess ?
Ye have no more religion than my

TEACHING a LION TO JUMP.
course, some animals are more easily
trained than others, and so when we get
lion that is not easily broken we don't
waste time on him, but set him inside and
train those that are most intelligent.
"Are there many performing lions in
the United States2''
"Well, couldn't say just how many,
but there are great number. Mr.. Fore
paugh had so many at one time, over
thirty, that he gave them away for al
most nothing 10 save the cost of his meat
bill. The female will have litter every
six months of three to five cubs, and as
the whelps are ordinarily healthy and
breeding of lions has been going on for
the past thirty years there must be a
great many throughout the United States.
A good specimen, full grown, and well
broken male is worth $4,000"
. One of the animal attendants at Central
Park had something to say about lions,
and he confirmed the statements of Mr..
Doris and Mr.. Conkling as to their docile
qualities. He said: "Young man, have
YOU ever seen an attendant clean out a
csge2 He just gets in there and sweeps
away, and if the big cat is in the way,
he sweeps him to one side with the dirt;
there is no more harm in lions to man
that knows 'em than there is in big
dog. I'll tell you curious thing about
lions and animals. Just watch ami.
mails that are fat and healthy, and then
you look ct the man that takes care OF
them and feeds them, and you'll find
that he is great, big, red-faced, healthy
man himself. Animals don't like thin,
consumptive.looking chaps, and they get
thin and worry and lose their tempels
with that kind of attendants. I was
with Forepaugh for ten years and he
wouldn't have a thin man round the
show-that is, near the animals. No, ]
never did hear of man being bitten OF
scratched by lion, except one man and
he didn't know his business. Why, lion
performances are so common that the
circus people don't think the act any
good any more, and q lion trainer can't
get over $50 month. That's the reason
I quit the circus business. lean remem-
Der a time when there was good money
in It. I first went with Van Amburgh,
who was the greatest animal trainer that
ever lived"
Every season, while circus is travel
ing around the country: wrecks occur.
Cages get smashed and animals get out.
When that is the case and lion gets out
of the cage which is his home he doesn't
know what to do, and crouches on the
ground much more frightened than the
people around him, and he stays there
until somebody takes and puts him IN MS
cage or brings the cage up to him and
then he will jump in. A good illustra-
tive instance of that kind occurred in
railroad accident in a tunnel just outside
