DEMOCRATIC TolLERs.
Can They Better Themselves by Joining .
n New Partvf

Can They Better Themselves by Joining =
. New Party?
The silly report that there is a fight
on between the Democratic and Farm
ers' Union Labor party Is entirely nn-
foun ded. The truth is the essential
principles of the two parties are the
same, and the question is, can Demo-
cratic farmers better themselves by
leaving their party and going to some
other? The Republican party is re-
sponsible for the hard times and scarcity
of money in the West Farmers who
have voted that ticket have abundant
right to complain, as they have not
been represented at all. The men they
have elected to law-making bodies have
never taken into account their interests
and wishes, but have wholly ignored
them. On the other hand this is not
true of Democrats, Democratic legis-
lators have done their utmost to en-
the very measures which the Western
people are SO earnestly demanding now.
They were unable to. do so, however,
because the party has not had com
plete control of the Government since
the war.
As "a sample of some OF the legisla-
ton passed by Democratic legislative
bodies, take the work of the Indiana
Legislature two years ago. Among
the important laws passed by it were
the following:
l. The new scho ol-book law, which
reduces the cost of text books forty per
cent
.. The Australian election system
which will prevent fraud at the polls.
= The payment of wages every two
weeks to employees.
o Their laws might be cited, but these
are sufficient for the present. They
are all in the interest OF the people and
what they have been demanding. In
Missouri, Democratic State. the only
law SO far passed in the United States
against trusts, an antitrust law can be
found which conflscates the property
of these oppressive organizations, and
which harss~served toScompel them to

CATCHING coNvlcTs.
The Dogs Used For That Purpose In tho
South Arc small Fox-IIounds-


Bloodhounds are inseparabIy as
ISOLATED with slavery in the South.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and other stories
and dramas Of that character would lose
half their interest without the horror
inspiring bloodhounds. Since the war
the ioodhodnd has been associated
with the recaptpre of escaped convicts
These convict-catching bloodhounds are
q myth. There are no such dogs in this
section of the country. The dogs used
in trailing escaped prisoners are small
foxhounds, ms gnificant and harmless
animals. SIsev
At Pratt Mines. five miles from this
city, there are /, 200 convicts leased by
the State to the Tennessee Coal, Iron &
Railroad Company. To capture those
who escape the company keeps a large
pack of hounds. These dogs are sma
red foxhounds. A few Of them are
spotted, but the ma jority are solid,
dull red color. They are small, slender
limbed animals, capable of fair speed
and endurance, and they can without
difficulty follow trail five to eight
hours old.

Esquimaux are about seventeen feet in

OF dri:twood, and are sometimes orna-

national Jealousy in GERMANY.

Captain Edmund Miller, Wurtem-
berger, and till recently officer in the
Twelfth corps of the German army, has
caused tremendous stir in German and
Austrian military circles by publishing
bittcr protest, against the oyerpower-
ing influence of Prussia among the inn
perial German troops. Captain Miller
explains that he was relieved OF active
duty short time ago because he dis
ciplined men under him for Insulting
the King of Wurtemberg. Some timc
ago Lieutenant Baur was dismissed from
the service Because he fought duel
with q fellow-officer who spoke disre-
specially Of the King. Captain Miller
also cites many other cases in which
able soldiers have been disciplined for
too great loyalty to their provincial
sovereignty. The pamphlet in question
is regarded on the continent as impor.
tant evidence of the watchfulness and
jealousy Of the disunionists Of the Ger.
man States. AS ia plea for the respecta-
bility Of the King OF Wurtemberg il
amounts to little, for 1t Is an open secret
abroad, that this ssuperannuated soyer-
eign is an utterly abandoned and dis.
reputable roue, guilty. OF ,ths most

THE SUBSIDY BILL.


A job of Whose Magnitude But Few
Have Correct Conception.
The subsidy bill has recently passed
the House, having previously passed
tho Senate, and will unqnes tionably boz
come law. 1t has not received much
attention, and few have very definite
idea OF what it amounts to- The OBJ
ject, as stated, is TO re establish tho
American merchant marine and divert
the foreign carrying trade from the
ships Of other nations that have q
monopoly O; it. The offer 1t contains
is to pay certain sums to vessals built
in this country, and manned by Amer
lean citizens, trading with foreign ports.
There was q time, before the legislative
policies Of the Republican party were
adopted, when 1t was not necessary to
hire American citizens TO build ships
and sail them on the high seas.

Win Inc merchant service OIL other
countries, 1t Is now proposed to pay
men out Of the Treasury to meet these
obstacles, rather than to remove them.
Many OF the vessels in the carrying
trade are owned by Americans, but they
find it Improbable to sail under the
flag Of their country. The tariff and
ship-building regulations are in their
way. The provisions Of the act n sub
stance are that tho United States will
pay each home-built ship engaged IA the
foreign trade bonus of 80 cents for
each 1000 miles or fraction thereof, for
every registered ton gross, with =
trifiing variation or two. This would
involve an expense Of 80 cents q ton, or
nearly that for vessel running be-
tween New York and Liverpool. A
steamer of 5000 tons register would get
"a, 500 for each passage, or 50, 600 for the
round trip. II It makes twenty trips .
year 1t would have for its subsidy $780,
600. Ships going on long voyages, such
as around Cape Horn to South American
ports, or about the Cape of Good Hope
to India or China, would be paid in the
same proportion. These figures are to
continue ten years and the next nine
years there is to be a reduction of three
cents ton. No close estimate can be
made Of the outlay to be required by
this measure, but if it meets the expec-
tations OF It's supporters it must run up
among the large millions. They insist
that it will more than multiply by four
the present tonnage Of about 1000, 900
in the foreign trade. The cost would be
enormous were there ships under Amer
lean register to take advantage Of 1t.
Time will be required to build them.
2This is all that saves the Treasury from
fearful depletion. Paul Globe.

In the Catholic church, it is a very
ancient custom, on the hanging Of new
church bells, to have certain ceremony
performed called the blessing of the
BELLS" The new bells for the ST. Rose
Catholic church of this place, were
blessed last Sunday by the Rt. Rev.
Mons. Boif, V. g., of Cleveland Ohio.
The bells, are three in number, and are
named 'St. Joseph, ""St. Mary" and
"St. Rose" They are splendid spec
imen's of the bell founders art, and are
u credit, not only to Father Reiken,
but to his people who has been so
generous as to enable him to purchase
them. They are as fine II set of chimes
as will be found in the state. The
bells are not yet hung in the stecple,
but have been set up in the altar of the
new church, and it was here that last
Sundays ceremony took place.
Father Reiien had the bells deco
rated in beautiful wreaths of evergreen,
with an American flag on the top OF
each one, and they presented quite Il
fine appearance.
Promptly at 8 p. m, the large church
being filled to IL perfect jam, the choir
filed out of the sacristy, and opened the
ceremony by singing. Then came the
Vicar General of the Diocese, Rev.
Father Boff, followed by Rev. Reiken
and an associate priest, all in their
alter robes. After reading of the
prescribed forms by the priest, the
bells were washed outside and inside
with water which had been blessed.
The alter boys then came, bearing
censers III which incense was burned
under the bells, and the ceremony was
then complete. The bells were then
all rung in concert. Father Botf COM
pleted the exercises by preaching a
short but excellent sermon upon the
nature of tho blessing of bells, and the
large audience was dismissed.

Wetmore, while on her way from
Buffalo to Toledo was discovered to be
on fire between decks. Mr.. Cotton, the
manager of the line, Informs us that
the heat became SO terrific that the
engineers and iiremen were unable to
remain at their posts of duty, and in
order to save life and have an oppor-
tunity to fight the fire, the Captain
headed her for shore and ran her on
the beach about quarter mile below
Baldwin's Point on Colchester reef.
She was loaded with 1900 tons of
coal, and 400 tons merchandise, which
included Il quantity of jute and oalum
in which the fire originated, and it is
claimed was probably on fire when
loaded at Buffalo. The steamer being
made of steel and constructed in such
Il manner that the apartments in which
the fire was burning were air tight,
there was no way of getting water on
the flames without opening the matches,
which was done, but as soon as air was
admitted smoke and fire poured out in
such force that the matches had to be
closed. Holes were finally cut through
the deck and the hose inserted, and py
this means the fire was fought by the
crew until the arrival of tugs with
steam pumps, when the ship was flooded
and the flames subdued.
II was during binding snow storm,
with the sea running high and the
steamer pounding on the rocks that
the crew worked to save the ship. AS
soon us the fire was out, the steamer
was pumped out and as we so to press
she is expected to arrive at Toledo.
