Salutes With Pumps.
There is a bit of unwritten history
TO be told about almost every village
and hamlet in America, If one only
! knows it." said an old traveller in the
Astor House cafe the other night, 'or,
at least, so my experience teaches me.
came across one of these bits at the
little town of Hebron, Conn, some years
ago, when was knocking around in the
northern part of the Nutmeg State,
which shows that patriotism was just as
noisy century and half or so ago as
il is to-day.
''The simon pure Yankees, up there
IN Connecticut, have always been about
IS patriotic as they make 'em, and
when the French and Indian war was
successfully brought to close tn, good
folks Of Hebron determined to celebrate
the victory of the mother country.
They were slightly handicapped by the
fact that about the only available means
of making the necessary noise was the
old meeting house bell, but Yankee
| invention found way out of the diff
| Guilty.
| ''After the old bell had been rung as
never before, bright genius suggested
the possibility of digging up the old
wooden town pump converting it into a
cannon and firing a salute in honor OF
/ the good King George. No sooner said
/ than done.
The old pump, which was hewn out
of log and was perhaps twenty feet
| long, was dug up, and the village cooper
and blacksmith took turns in transform
ing it into cannon. First the cooper
covered it with wooden hoops and then
/ the blacksmith riveted iron hoops
around its venerable body at short in
| tervals. The spout was plugged up, as
was one end of the pump, and an i'm
mense charge of gunpowder-which had
been procured at New London by mes
senger sent hither for the purpose-was
raufmed into it The quasi cannon was
logged up to the top of the village hill,
fuse was laid, match was applied.
and away few the entire population OF
the village for their lives
swell, that cannon did its duty: It did
even more. 1t not only disch arged it
self in due time with report that was
heard for twenty miles, but it also blew
itself into several thousand pieces, and.
if report speaks truly, broke every win
dow and most of the crockery in Hebron.
THE news of this expensive salute
came to the ears of the good King

How They Look at 1t in st. Louis.

Isl Louis GEobe-Democrat-
The Democrats have secured the
House of Representatives of the Fifty
second Congress. Their exact majority
could not be told at the time the Globe
Democrat went to press. 1t is large
enough, however, to give them ready
and absolute control of that body. Their
preponderance will be much greater
than that which their opponents could
command at the beginning of the pres
ent Congress. They will not be subject
to the accidents and chances which
handicapped the Republicans through
four-ffths OF the session which closed a
month ago At all times and under all
easily conceivable circumstances the
Democrats will be able to hold a quorum
for the transaction of business.
1t is not difficult to point out the i'm.
mediate causes for the Republican re-
verse. To the Federal elections bill
and the tariff must the result be chiefly
attributed.
1t was through the tariff Law, how
ever, that most of the damage was in
flicted on the Republicans. The law, OF
course, is far from being as bad as the
Democrats have pretended to believe it
to be. A few of its provisions, though,
have afforded some ground for part of
the opposition which the law has called
out While no portion of the act offers
any Justification for the falsehoods which
the Democratic editors and stump ora
tors have uttered, yet there are sched-
ules in it which serve to make part of
these falsehoods credible. There was
no excuse for any increase in duties on
any article. Every advance of this sort
which was made weakened the party,
hampered the labors of its advocates
and champions, and placed the organ
izatiou on the defensive from the begin
ming of the canvass.

VARIABLE CLIMATE THE BEST.

Abstract of n Lecture by j. II. Kellogg,
NJ. H.. Bartle Creek, Mich.
The changes of the seasons incident
to our Northern climate are wonderfully
advantageous in several ways. In the
summer nature slows down all the vital
fires. 1t IS necessary to run the vital
machinery slower in order to preserve
our lives. We become more sluggish
| and lose our energy and ambition. This
is noticeable in ali warm countries. 1t
takes larger force of men a greater
length of time to do piece of work in
the South than it does in the North, and
if Northern man goes South and at
temps to work there as he formerly did,
he will either die or learn to submit to
the inevitable laziness of the climate.
The people OF warm countries do not
have any of the toning up which comes
with the change from hot weather to
cold and so keep continually in this
slow summer rut
Here in the North we get the tonic of
cold weather. We breathe little more
rapidly: we think faster; we are lifted
to higher plane of existence; we are
moro energetic. The difficulty is that
some are not willing to submit to the
toning up processes and influences.
Many of the people who run away to
the South suffer great loss. 1t is we'll
enough for those who are so weakened
that they can not put on a winter con-
stitution, but to those who are able to
tone themselves up to the freedom of
out OF door exercise, il is the greatest
possible blessing to remain in the more
invigorating climate of the North. The
most energetic people in the world are
those who live in the temperate zones
and are Injured to climatic changes.
They are also the largest and the finest
specimens of humanity physically. IL
we go too far north, the extreme cold is
found to have a dwarfng effect, as is
witnessed by the Esquimaux. The ex-
treue heat of the torrid zone is equally
unfavorable for the fullest develop
ment-Reported by Helen L. Manning.

A Fight Against Uneven Odds.


The Republicans did not expect to
carry the next Congress. They knew
that the Democratic gerrymanders in
Ohio and several other States and the
forcible seizure by the Democrats of
some twenty-five Republican district in
the South would make uphill work; and
they also knew that the passage OF a
tariff bill on the eve of an election must
give their enemies the advantage of in.
evitable disturbances OF a temporary
sort in prices and business. At this
writing it is impossible to state the ex-
tent OF the Democratic gains, but it is
certain that the Democrats will have =
large majority in the Fifty-second
House. But this result means nothing
of Importance. The voters could not
possibly have passed intelligent iudg-
ment against the Mckinley bill at this
time. The effect of the tariff IegisIa-
ton can not be fully appreciated for
two years The Republicans will be
the better prepared for 1882 by the re-
suits of 1890; and they will not be at all
6isheartened by the loss Of the next
Congress The Senate will remain Re-
pablican- The concluding session OF
the Fifty-frst Congress will finish the
Republican programme that was left
incomplete few weeks ago when ad-
iournment was taken, and the next
Congress will not be able to undo any Of
the great and benefcient enacrments of
its predecessors

Maintain Your Organizations.
TOeS Moines TaN Register

The contest of 1891 is to be the most
strenuous struggle for political control
that has ever taken place. Therefore
every Republican club and committee
should be. kept in constant marching or
der and ready to meet the enemy at
every point. The Golden Club, with its
unlimited Doodle, began the President
ial campaign of 1892 in the Compression
al elections of this year. 1t will fight
next years battles within State boun-
daries, hoping to gain power within
States that can be maintained in the
National struggle of 1892. The Golden
Club is com bination of British capital
lists and manufacturers that is striving
TO gain free entry into the best market
inthe world. The many millions of dol
lars ofduties that they have been paying
TO the United States during the past
Twenty-Five years show how greatly
they value the markets of the worlds
greatest Nation and, they are now de-
termined to break down every bar
rier that stands between them
and the consumers of the United
States, If money can do it, They
porte-s OF this Nation, who have flched
their ill-gotten millions through organ
izations that have controlled the for
eign trade and regulated prices in their
own interest, and are now highly ex-
asperated over the great benefits TO be
derived by the laborers and producers
of this Nation through the new Mckin-
lev protective tariff law increasing the
duties or all foreign products which
compete with American labor. and thus
decrease their enormous profits
The combination of Golden clubs and
importers is strongly reinforced BY the
brewers and distillers, who are making
CON Don cause with the British clubs
and those who toll all foreign goods as
they enter the ports of the Nation so
heavily, in the desperate struggle 10

This is the com bination of boodlers that

The Result In Wisconsin.

The result of Tuesdays election in
this State was more emphatic defeat
of the Republicans than they have sus.
tanned since the organization of the
party. The causes of this unexpected
result are in part local and in part those
which have influenced the elections
throughout the country unfavorably 70,
the Republicans the present autumn
| The opposition TO the school law, mainly
created by fragrant Misrepresentation
of its character and purposes, was one of
those causes. 1t enlisted the great
body of German Catholic and Lutheran
churches in an active campaign against
the Republicans.
1t was branded as a measure designed
to suppress the use of the German lam
guage and inspired by nativistic feelin 2.
1t brought out manifesto from the
Catholic bishops which was in substance
a command to the members of that
church to vote the Democratic ticket
The tariff law, enacted so late in the
session that there was no opportunity
to Judge of its effect upon business or
prices by practical experience, con-
tributed to strengthen the opposition.
1t was represented as measure for the
benefit of wealthy manufacturers alone
which would largely increase the cost
of all the necessaries of life. There
was no time for an adequate discussion
of its provisions and for meeting and
routing the exaggerations of its enc
mics. There was, further, the inevita-
bic reaction which follows a successful
| Presidential campaign, and the bitter
ness and Disappointment always created
| BY the distribution of Federal patron
| age.
The position of the Republican party
on the school law was absolutely right
| There are few intelligent men, except
/ such as hold that education should be
| directed by the churches, who. il they
/ speak truthfully, will not agree with
( this assertion. If the issue could have
been presented entirely severed from
party interests there is no doubt that
the position of the Republicans on this
question would have been approved by
an overwhelming majority. The law
was enacted without opposition from
any quarter. When the demand of the
churches came for it's unconditional re-
peal the Republicans were not unaware
of the danger of such an issue, but they
preferred TO meet it rather than to sur
render the principles it involved. They
preferred. if the State was to abandon
its right to any voice in the education of
its children, that the shameful task
should be performed by some other
party.
