As Mr.. Mckinley is still in the
prime of his powers, and is doubtless
willing to 60 up higher, why, if the
Nc Kinley bill is to be the Republican
issue, should not Mr.. Mckinley repres-
emit it? Why should candidate be
selected who did not stand upon that
bill as platfom in 1888, and will not
have changed his position in 1892 ?
In other words, is the Republican
fight really to be made upon Mckinley
protection or upon reciprocity? Or is
it the man and not the platform on
which the party is bent? In 1884
there was q great deal said about
measures, not men-princlples. not
persons. That is always sound doc
trine in republic, and it will be in
teresting to see how it is applied to
the situation in '92.-Harper's Maga-

summer at Atlantic City.

The spring season which is just now
drifting into summer has been the
most prosperous in all the history of
Atlantic City. Never have so many
people been attracted to its great
beach from all sections of the land,
and never have its hostelries been SO
we'll equipped for providing comfort
able and attractive Accommodations.
In the present, which is usually .
breathing time between seasons, visl-
tors still continue TO pour into tne
city. so that when the summer hosts
come they will find a good-sized gar
rison already in possession OF the
fortress. There will be ample room
for all, however, and the Indications
foreshadow the greatest summer sea-
son ever known. Preparations are
being made for it nov. New hotels,
Of the lesser grade, are building, new
cottages are springing up on hereto
fore vacant ground, and enlargement
and improvement of existing struc-
lures is the order of the day. The
great boardwalk, now known by the
n more dignifed and appropriate title
of the Ocean Promenade, has with
stood all the storms of winter and is
in perfect condition, the streets are
being improved, new facilities for
amusement are under way at the In,
let, and every one Of the city's lo,ooo
people appear to be something to make
the resort more charming.
The facilities for reaching it are
being developed with q view to the
great strain to which the summer
traffic will subject them. The Penn
sylyania Railroads double lines from
Market street, Philadelphia, are to be
operated on plan which will yield
the greatest speed and promptness OF
movement, while guaranteeing abso-
lutte safety and comfort. The TRACES
are in excellent condition, the rolling
stock of the most approved KIND, ana
the management keenly alive to the
best interests Of the travelling public.
Not only will well-adjusted service
of fast and well-equipped trains be
maintained between Philadelphia and
Atlantic City, but the through New
York service, which has accomplished
SO much in securing travel from the
East, will be continued. Apart from
these facilities excursions Of a special
or general character will be arranged
from time to time from all points on
the Pennsylvania System at low rates.
By these means the residents OF the
remote as we'll as the near points will
enjoy every opportunity of spending
some time by the sea.
Atlantic City opens her gates in
welcome to all, and the Pennsylvania
railroad and its connections is the
highway that leads to the sea.

As for the apron, the average man
knows he likes it, and yet he cant tell
just why. He says very vaguely
"Well, you know, it's white, and has
such cunning pockets, and the strings
tie so prettily about the waist; and
then, don't you know, it's SO essentially
womanly. The fellow who looks at it
always thinks to himself that girl
knows something about making a home
and he can imagine her with an apron
on walking around in the morning and
seeing that her household is in order"
In the apron is the very essence OF
coquetry.-Bab, 10 Chicago Globe.

The terrible mistake of druggist has
robbed the Rev. DIR. w. G. Lindsay, one OF
the leading ministers of Columbia. 5. C., of
a lovable little daughter. Friday night
Maud Lindsay died from ON overdose OF
morphine administered for quinine. The
terrible mistake was not positively
known until Saturday. The morning pa
pers contained simple notices OF the little
ones death, the bereaved parents having re.
quested that no intInlstion Of the dread fact
be made until an Investigation could be
made Mr.. and Mrs Lindsay had admin
tered the medicine before going TO church.
When they returned the little one was cold
in death.
A special to the NelUs and Courier from
Greenviile says: at is stated to be an his
torical fact that Uncle Billy Bayne, the
poor old mau who is now insane aid under
the temporary care Of the police. was the
first man who nomina' ed Hampton fer gov
ernor of South Carolina. He was then
prosperous and a man whose word was of
much weight in political matters. The
people all of the state were looking anx-
iously for d leader. Gen. Hsmpton's name
had been often mentioned. but nothing had
been done to put him definitely in the fight.
One day while Mr.. Bayne aud 9TH
ers were in the Mansion house dis
cussing the situation Mr.. Bayne
said: nominate Wade Hampton
for governor He supported his words
enthusiastically. The nomination was pub
lished in the MetOs, and the wires next
morning notified the papers and the people
of the low-country that Wsde Hampton
was the choice of Greenville. The nomina-
ton stirred everybody. and through the
upper counties the name of Hampton then
and after became triumphant word. Mr..
Bayne is now penniless, homeless and almost
friendless. Probably his words saved South
Carolina, and yet his last days may be in a
poor house or the asylum"

In one of the tropical greenhouses at
the Harvard botanic garden in Cam
bridge may be seen in flower wonder
full and noble plant belonging to the or

which is technically named Augraecum
sesquipedale, is native of Madagascar,
where it is found growing upon trees.
In it's native country its stem is from
three to four feet high: the leaves, about
a foot long, dark, shining green. The
flower is about six inches in diameter,
ivory white, with spur from twelve to
eighteen inches long, and it has a power
ful fragrance. particularly at night. 1t
was discovered about seventy years ago,
but was not introduced in living state
until 1857. 1t has become famous as
one Of the orchids which Darwin was

A steam crane has been constructed
for employment on the Manchester ship
canal which has done some remarkably
good work, both in hard and in soft ma
terial. The machine is an ordinary ten
ton locomotive crane. with an excavator
attached to the jih, the whole being car
ried on steel truck fitted with wheels.
The principal feature of the excavator is
the method by which the bucket is fed
up to its work This is done by spe-
cial steam cylinder. which is bolted to
the arms carrying the bucket, and by
means of which the bucket can be
moved in or ont distance of two feet
as desired. In making a cut the bucket
is first lowered to the bottom Of the cut
ting, and then fed up to its work by the
steam cylinder, the vilves of which are
controlled from the footplate of the ma
chine.
The lifting gear is then applied, and
the bucket is swept up the face Of the
cutting by means Of the lifting gear.
In practice entire cuttings up to 20 feet
deep and 40 feet wide have been worked
by these machines, the output varying
so the makers state, from 200 to 800
wagons of cubic yards each per day Of
eleven hours. The cost Of such excava
tion and delivery into wagons is said t
he triAe less than two cents per cubic
yard.-New York Commercial Adver
tiser.
