Something Now.


Upon tho announcement OF tho spe.
ciiic result OF n recent interesting event,
tho Leading Cleveland organs, which for
4 long time had been nourishing their
ianaticism in the hope OF u certain diff
fcrcnt dispensation OF Providence, ap.
parcntly resigned 1t In despair. The
most rabid OF all, the St. Louis Republic,
framed its lamcntation in the utterance,
ut ought to have been n boy!" Five
million Democrats, continued the Re.
pubic, will be disappointed that it is
not Il boy! Since then our depressed
contemporary has again plucked up its
heart for M~rgwumpery, and, seeing
nothing to engage its labors in the De-
mocracy, it has resolved to 20 it again
on the old track. Thus it starts:
without absolutely retracting any
thing, We wish to modify somewhat tho
opinions expressed in these columns
within the last two days concerning the
relative merits OF girl and boy babies,
with special reference to the case OF
Miss Francis Folsom Cleveland"
Arguments follow this cxtrao rdinary
exordium to show that the actual baby
is still good enough for political pur-
poses.
But the movement abandoned only
to be resumed Is not TO be undertaken
alone by the Republic. Not to risk the
loss OF prominence in the great free
trade eG2rt, the Courier Journal, the Or
gan OF. the Hon. Henry Wattcrson, GAL
lantly accepts the revision OF the issue,
and puts it thus:
ut is ior the State OF New York to
say whether the little brunette who has
Just arrived is to play with her dolly in
the White House."
The reformed lines OF Cleyelandism
stand for n proper and legitimate devel.
opment. Besides the marked clements
OF petticoats which conferred SO singu-
lar a variation upon the campaign OF
lSSS, bibs are to be added.
The Cleveland press is going to give
us 4 baby canvass.

wEiEELINo. OCTOBER IL, 1891.


Tho Republican party challenges 4
contrast Of It's administration OF public
affairs with that Of the Democratic par
ty. Those who compare tho results at
tanned by the Harrison administration
with those attained by tho Cleveland
administration cannot but be strucl,
with the difference in favor OF the for
mer. The Now York Nribuns, suDimin:
up tho work OF both administrations,
draws tho conclusion that is apparent
TO everybody that the Democratic par
ty hos never done anything else than
furnish proof OF tho charge urged
against it by George William Curtis III
1854, that it is without single definite
principle, without q policy that it dare
ayow," while tho Republican capacity
has never been moro clearly shown
than during the presidency OF General
Harrison.
The Tribune's estimate is not far
wrong, when the facts are considered
as it gives them, and 1STELLIGEScER
readers who have kept pace with tho
history OF the past six or seven years
do not need to be reminded OF them.
Mr.. Cleveland, remarks the Tribune,
on assuming his Office, was confronted
with these leading questions: The
tariff, silver, shipping, European re-
strictions on American meat products,
German aggression in Samoa, the Beh-
ring sea raids, and the Atlantic fisheries
trouble. With each OF these questions
Mr.. Cleveland and 4 Democratic house
undertook to do something, and in not
n instance were they successful.
Every question which Cleveland and
his party failed to settle after attempt
ing to do SO confronted the Republican
party when it came in power. Before
six months had passed the Samoan DIFF
ticulty was settled and the honor and
integrity OF the United States was
maintained. The tariff issue was also
settled, being resolved into an act
which reduced the revenues, increased
the volume OF foreign trade and created
new industries" and in addition re-
ciprocity opened up to us 4 great new
market which had heretofore been en-
joyed by other countries. a silver law
was passed which has given use to all
the product OF American silver without
the evil OF free coinage. American
shipping has been benefited and 4 re-
vival OF the merchant marine has
begun. The Boring Sea trouble is now
i'll process OF settlement. American
pork How enters tho foreign market.
The superior capacity OF the Rcpubli-
cal party for administering the affairs
oi government has, in short, been
demonstrated, and there are still
eighteen months left Tor further efforts.

Grew and Jacob Ocl.enshirt are good
fishermen. The Allegheny river in the
ncishborhood OF HoboEen is noted far
far and wide for its great yield OF turtle.
Yesterday DR.. McCirew andkis friend,
Jacob Ochenshirt, concluded to try
their luck as fishermen. They accord
in%!y boarded the train for Iloboken
and were landed there 4 few minutes
later. They had all the necessary line
and bait. Within an hour after arriv-
ing on the shore their hooks were far
out III the stream. Luck seemed against
them, so they tied the rope to 4 tree on
the bank and engaged in shooting ut a
mark.
The rope which was attached to the
tree Strengthened out, and it was evident
that their luck had changed. In g!ce
Mr.. Ochcnshirt seized the rope and be-
gan to wind it in, when suddenly he
was jerked into the river. lie was
promptly rescued. In the meantimetle
heavy game was at work on the other
end OF the rope. 1t required the assist

it was drawn upon the shore it was dis
covered to be a monster turtle measur-
ing across the. back four feet two inches
and weighing $50 pounds. The catch
was load.d into a spring wagon and con
veyed to the depot, where it was placed
on the train and brought to this city.
Old sportsmen say the turtle is about
sixty years old, and issof the sea spe-
cics. 1t is the largest ever seen i'll this
vicinity.
DR.. McGrew has the turtle on exhibit
ton ut 1850 Butler street. About forty
years ago a train WIS wrecked on tho
West Penn road near this point. AGAR
load OF sea turtles was broken up and'd
number OF them escaped. This is sup
posed to be one OF them. He has a
number Of marks on his back which
cannot be deciphered. Tho sholl will

%iosities which the doctor has already
acquired.

Curious Contrasts in Eating.

The climate of Hindoostan goes long
way towards explaining the religious
scruples which would make millions of
Brahmins starve rather than eat meat
stews, but less intelligent is the prejudice
of japanese peasants, who cannot be per
suaded to drink cows milk. The Abyssin-
ian highlanders would shrink from nei-
Their alternative, but would promptly cut
the acquaintance of neighbor who
should dciile himself by broiling a rab-
bit. Moses, too, interdicts rabbits flesh,
which constitutes the only luxury of the
snow-bound Jakoots, who wouM scorn
to waste a copper coin on Chinese tea,
but are apt to fuddle with decoction of

lie American missionaries by their fond
ness for milk brandy (koumiss), but are

makes their pious guests prefer pork TO
