A Railroad on Tree-Tops.

It NAV not be known outside OF the
neighborhood in which it is situated
but it is nevertheless fact, that In
sonoma County, Cal, there exists an
original and successful piece of railroad
engineering and building that is not to
be found in the books. In the upper
part of the county named, near the coast
NAV be seen an actual road-bed in the
tree-tops, between the Clipper mills
and Stuart Point, where the road crosses
a deep ravine. The trees are sawed OIL
on a level with the surrounding hills,
and the timbers and ties laid on the
stumps. In the center of the ravine
mentioned two huge redwood trees,
standing side by side, form substantial
support. These giants have been Topped
off seventy-fve feet above the bed OF the
creek. This natural-tree bridge IS con-
sidered one of the wonders of the Golden
State. and for safety and security TAI

DEMOCRACY IN 1890.

The ShaclIes Which Curb American Com
merce VIII Soon BE Thrown Oh
I believe that the year 1890 will wit
ness one of the greatest trlumphs
which the Democratic party OF this
country has ever enjoyed. The signs
of the times all point that way. Our
defeat in 1883 did not discourage the
Democracy. 1t left the party as deter
mined as ever to achieve its great OBJ
iects-economic government and tarlff
reform.
Perhaps never in the history OF the
world was defeated party so full OF
spirit and courage as was the Demo-
cratic party after election day IN NO
vember, 1883, and that spirit and tha5
courage have been increasing. The
Democratic party is in better shape
defeated than the Republicans are In
success. Rallying for tariff reform and
rood government generally, we en-
gagged the enemy last fall in Ohio, Iowa
and Virginia and emerged victorious
from the contest In Massachusetts, the
cause of tariff reform has become so
formidable that leading Republicans
admit that the State, barely saved to
them last November, will probably 60
Democratic next fall unless their party
does something decisive for tariff re-
form.
How can the Republican party be the
friend of tariff reform? Its life blood is
nov monopoly Its main supporters
will never despoil themselves. 1t must
from the very nature of its makeup, be
the enemy of reform. The country car

rbe ResuItS of Liberality.

On the death of the elder krupp one
of the first acts of his son and successor
was to give to the town OF Essen the
sum of Els, 900 for public improvements
which he followed by another dona-
ton of $50, 900 for the creation OF a fund
for the benefit of his sick, disabled work
men. The interest in the welfare OF
the employees which was shown IN this
and similar ways has been very bene-
fetal to the firms interests. The
Krupp Gun Works has the pick OF the
labor market at the ordinary wages,
and during the recent strikes in West
ern Germany they were in no way al
fected. While 100000 workmen from
the majority of the large establishments
in the neighborhood were on strike
causing an entire suspension OF work
Krupp's works never had to suspend OPP

Say, 'Lige, go send those men away;
Go give them all the run;

From morn till set of sun
Inever thought I'd be beset

They make existence seem to mo

But as for strangers, 'Lige, my boy

About my great campaign"

TO make their wishes known
