The lake IS 8 combination of twenty or more bays, and is fed by sub-aqueous springs. No streams flow into the lake. Hotels abound, the Lafayette being the largest and most fashionable. Every point on the lake can be reached by steamer or sailer, The fishing is famous, and the climate in the sum- mer IS betwixt and between.

Those who have favored the Mckinley
tariff law In spite of the unfavorable condi-
tions under which it went into effect no long
er find themselves forced to play the part of
apologists. They are rather in the place Of
confident and victorious assailants. The OPP
ponents of the law are unable to specify any
actual results such as they predicted as ine-
vitable. They said that prices would 20 up
on manufactured goods. Can any Democrat
or free trader point to any such increaseP
They said that our foreign commerce would
dwindle. Can any Democrat show that this
has been the case? or course not, for the
report Of the Bureau of Statistics shows that
our foreign commerce has increased in the
first eleven months Of the operation of the
Mckinley law twice the average annual in
crease Of the last twenty years. They said
that duties were levied upon almost every
namable article, and that thus the bill was
q long step away from less restricted COM
mercial intercourse. What can they show to
prove thisS Certainly not the report of the
Bureau of Statistics, which shows that for
the first eleven months Of the Mckinley law
our free imports amounted to about S65 mil
AohDs NhAiO dhuCA tuO Oiu law buby WbI6
only Iabout 253 millions yearly. While the
proportion of merchandise admitted free of
duty before the Mckinley bill passed was
about "a per cent, it is now about 4S per cent.
Do the Democrats know that never In the
history OF our foreign commerce was so
large percentage admitted free Of duty ?
They might know 1t il they would pay more
attention to facts and less to doctrines. But
our Democratic friends will at once change
the subject of conversation when these facts
are preached before them. We shall hear
them talking anxiously and solemnly about
the decrease of the surplus in the national
treasury, and deploring tina. result with
great apparent patriotism. As If those very
same Democrats had not fretted their giz
yards continuously for ten years or more
while there was surplus lest the govern
ment might be destroyed thereby.

Several Massachusetts Democratic Con.
gressmen are praneing about declaring that
If free coinage supporter is nominated by
the Democratic members of the House OF
Representatives for Speaker they will bolt
the caucus. Inasmuch as the Democrats
will have an overwhelming majority OF the
members of the next House, and inasmuch
as an overwhelming majority of this ma
jcrity will be advocates of free coinage, it
will not require vast amount of courage
for these Massachusetts Democrats to bolt.
Indeed bolt on their part might confer
upon them a little distinction, such as they
will never get In any other way. They are
but very few drops in very large bucket,
and probably the great mass of the Democ-
racy will hardly notice whether they support
the caucus nominee or not. How much real
independence and courage they are possessed
of win only be demonstrated when some
real party pressure is pnt upon them, and
when that comes it is pretty safe to predict
that their stock of those qualities will turn
out to be about as great as that Of Mr..
Andrew, who found it convenient to
dodge when the silver question was up in
the last House.

Gov. Russell of Massachusetts tells the
Boston Post that in his opinion the resolu-
tion Of the Massachusetts, Democrats on the
currency is one of the soundest declarations
ever made by any party on the subject. AS
the Massachusetts resolution is diametri-
cally opposite to those adopted by the Demo-
Gratis in all the Western and Southern States
this is equivalent to saying that all those
resolutions are unsound, and that the great
mass of the Democracy are unsound and I'M
trustworthy on this question. Commenda-
tlon Of the Massachusetts, Democratic plat
form is condemnation Of the Democratic
platforms of almost every other State in the
