FLOATING IN PITCH.

Two or three weeks ago an &C.
count was given of the floating is.
land in Sadawaga Lake, Vermont,
but more remarkable are the three
floating islands in Lake Solfatara-
the bituman lake near Tiyoli, Italy,
says the St. Louis Republic. The
foundations of these erratic islands
are composed of sticks, grasses and
bull-rushes, firmly glued together
by the sulphur, petroleum and btu
men Of the queer lake. In the cen
turtles which have elapsed since the
nuclei of these islands were formed,
the sand aud dust blown from
whichever shore they happened to
be moored, has formed soil twelve
or fifteen inches thick, upon which
several species of plants and trees
have found Judgment. As the larg-
est of these peculiar islands does
not exceed fifteen rods in length.
six or eight men provided with
strong poles can float them in any
direction desired.

4 ROMANCE.

An interesting story comes from
Grenn Ridge in Robertson county,
Tenn, in which handsome young
man and a pretty girl figure as It's
leading spirits.
Last fall stalwart youth cfabout
twenty two years made his appear
ance at the home of a farmer in the
suburbs of Green Ridge and applied
for work. He was tramp with his
worldly possessions in bundle
slung across his shoulder, and was
hungry and footsore and eager for a
job. The farmer gave him a trial,
and being much pleased with his
labor, employed him regularly.
In March the young man fell sick
with fever and for two weeks or
more was very i'll.
In the same village resided Essie
Sullivan, who was pretty and at
tractive, and the daughter of a mer-
chant in good circumstances She
had seen the young fellow a great
many times, but had no acquaint-
ance with him as he was not atten-
tive to the ladies, but remained at
home and attended to his duties
closely. The young girl had doubt
less been attracted by his personal
appearance, for when she learned of
his sickness she began sending him
flowers and then nice things to eat.
At first, she went no farther than
the door, but was finally induced to
enter the sick room to receive the
inyalid's thanks.
AS time wore on she grew holder
and prolonged her visits, and in the
kindness of her heart read to the
afflicted youth. Life was pleas
ant dream to them for several weeks
and the rumor soon spread that they
would wed.
The report was confirmed last
Tuesday when the young people
: went to Nashville and were mar.
ried. The girl left a note behind
saying that she had eloped as she
knew her parents would never
consent to her wedding a common
laborer without a home and un-
known, but that she loved him, and
had'rather share poverty with him
than live in ease and comfort with
out bis protecting love and care.
The girls parents were ignorant
OF the attachment between their
daughter and the stranger, and
were taken by surprise. They. are
much distressed over the affair, and
refuse to recognize her if she and
her husband should return.

The Financial Outlook.

~ 'Rf~re-a+e-seme- e-interesting facts
being made public concerning the
financial condition of the country
which the people will do well to
consider.
Mr.. Mckinley declares that the
bill introduced by the w and Nj
committee will reduce the revenue
of the country S6O,OOO,OO0 annually
Taking the last Democratic ad-
ministration as the standard this
would appear the proper thing to
do for under the Cleveland admin
istration the revenues exceeded
the requirements of the govern
ment more than Sl00,000,0O0 pr.
year, but at this time matters have
changed.
Under the policy inaugerated by
this administration the accumula-
ted surplus has disappeared, and
Congress has sought every oppor-
tunity to increase the expenditures
of the government.
Representative Peters, Of Kan
sas, u Republican, says he will OPP
pose the Mckinley bill for the
reason above stated. He says; "At
the end of the present fiscal year
the money in the treasury will con-
sst of but $2O,0OO,000. AT the end
of the next fiscal year there will be
deficit" He then makes an esti-
mate of probable receipts and eX-
penditures of the government, as
required by the probable legisla-
tion ofthisCopgress and shows that
it is almost certain that there will
be deficit at the end of Harri-
sons third fiscal year of $S2,000,O00.
The Republican policy is to in
crease expenditures to an extent |
that will make an increase Of tax
alton an absolute necessity. 1t is
nothing to them that every in
dustry of the county is staggering
under their present burden, the
plutocrats demand more protection
and they own the Republican
party, body and breeches.

MAJOR Mckinley in reporting
his tariff mOnstrosity to Congress.
makes the important admission
that "rhe duty is therefore Il tax
which is added to the price," Lei
Us see, we Democrats have been
arguing all along that the tariff
was tax which must be paid by
the consumer in the form of an in
creased price for the taxed article
Now the fact is admitted by the
great protection apostle.
IN the death of Samuel j. Ran
dali the Democratic party have
lost the services of one of the lead
ing workers of his day, and the Re-
publicans--in his strong defense of
protectionists issues-have indi-
rectly lost a famous coadjutor. In
every respect his death will be
sincerely regretted by the country.
Conscientious, firm, persistent, un-
deniably able and always just, he
was patriot whose love for his
country and it's institutions amount
ed to II mania. Without reaching
the plane of Il great leader he
possessed all the qualities that
would have made him such had he
ever been swayed by personal am
bition or given way to the tempta-
tions presented to him. He main
tanned the confidence of his con-
stitueDts and the admiration of his
opponents during the quarter of a
century in which he has been
among the prominent statesmen of
the Nation. On the tariff question
he never was in full sympathy with
his party, but despite this fact,
none ever presumed to question his
motives or doubt his fealty. AS
Speaker, he was thoro ughly in ac-
cord with the House; a strict par
liner tartan, ready debater, fruit
ful of resource, cool, collected and
prudent at all times and under
every circumstance. To his sturdy
opposition to the Force bill was due
its defeat, notwithstanding the
ponderous efforts of such power as
could he welded by the Speaker
then Mr.. Blaine. Such men AS
these can lily be spared at any
time, and it will be long ere the
memory Of Samuel j. Randall will
have departed from among the
people who now mourn his de-
parture.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1890-04-26
That Letter.

The open letter Of Henry G. Lef
to President Harrison, published or
our outside, is well worthy of the
careful consideration of every
lover of honest government.
1t is the opinion of one who gave
his support to Harrison when Il
candidate, and yet processes fealty
to the Republican party.
When the reader brings to mind
the fact that Congress has been in
session over four and one half
months and have done nothing Of
public interest, save the unseating
OF few Democratic members and
the admission of three new states
for political purposes only. the
picture of the ineapacity of this ad-
m.nistration becomes almost to
dark for comfortable contempla-

A Vigorous Republican Kick.

| The Philadelphia Press is tn,
leading Republican paper of Penn
sylvania. 1t is the chief eXponen
of the Penns> lvania idea of high
tariff protection-to Pennsylvania
interests. Naturally it would bt
expected to stand firmly by the
Mckinley tariff bill, which puts uE
the duties on 4 long list of articles
for the purpose of further protec
ton to Republican interests and
makes its great cut on sugar, the
the domestic production Of which
is mainly in Il southern Democra-
| tic state.
But the "Press" kicks and kicks
hard on that very sugar item OF
the bill. 1t says the arrangement
Of free importation of sugar up to
No. 16, Dutch standard, with re-
duction of duty to four-tenths of a
cent pound above that standard
and a bounty of 2 cents a pound on
sugar from cane, beet and sorghum
"has the misfortune of suiting
neither the producer nor the refner
and we fear it will be of little
value to the consumer" The
"Press" calls attention to the fact
that it destroys the revenue on
sugar and beyond all question de-
stroys every chance of reciprocity
with South America or Mexico. 1t
will also, damage the business of
the American refiner and subject
to serious competition the product
Of the domestic plantations, the
bounty Of 3 cents a pound not be-
ing sufficient equivalent for the
protection Withdrawn.
All this is unpleasant for Nc
Kinly as coming from a leading
Republican organ, but what fol-
lows is worse. The "Press" at
tacks unsparingly the bounty
feature of the bill. 1t says there
exists II sound objection to bounties
on manufactured products, which
shave been tried over and over
again" and "always dismally fail
ed" 1t recalls the fact that "sugar
itself was the subject of a disaster
Gus experiment in bounties and
drawbacks fifty years ago whose
results were powerful aid to SEN
ator Benton and other low tariff
men," and it mas no disposition to-
wards repetition of the expert
ment. "No one" it says, "can even
tell what the bounty will amount
to. The committee fastens its at
tepti0n on cane sugar with pro-
duct of 375,G04,107 pounds places
the total of bounties at $7,000,00O.
But the total sugar production of
the country is nearer 600,000,000
pounds, including all sugars and
we shall he surprised If the New
York and New England sugar
farmer does not wake up with de-
mand for 2 cents a pound on maple
sugar if bounties begin"
Sure enough, and why shouldn't
he? Why should the Ohio farmers
not divide 100000 bounty on their
annual product of 100000 pounds
Of maple sugar as well as the
beggarly $40 for their 1000 pounds
If sorghum sugar? Are they not
both sweetening and why should
he producers of one be sweetened
With treasury "sugar" and the pro-
lucer of the other be soured upon
The Ohio Farmers alliance should
'trlke for maple sugar bounty If
he bounty policy is to be adopted.
