Mr.. Blaine Is looming up more and more
be Presidential possibility, and this fact
must add to President Harrison's discomfort
during the heated term. Mr.. Blaine has
thousands of admiring and enthusiastic
friends In his party, but the country can not
be carried by hurrah campaign for any
candidate. Mr.. Blaine knows this as well as
any one. He knows, too, that reduction of
the tariff will be the Democratic battle-cry,
and no side-issues, whether Of free-coinage,
Of silver, civil service reform, personal popu-
Isrity of any candidate, or anything else will
obscure this all-pervading and important
question. Mr.. Blaine has already expressed
himself in unmeasured terms against the Nc
Einley tariff, and if the Republican party
chooses Mr.. Blaine as its candidate it must
change front on this question. Mr.. Blaine
has not said he would be candidate. To do
20 while remaining in Harrison's cabinet
would be disloysl to his chief. Perhaps he is
craftily waiting to see who the Democratic
candidate will be. The logic of the situation
seems to be that Mr.. Blaine can not be the
Republican candidate, and that Mr.. Harrison
or some other "iavorite son" will be chosen
to lead the Republican column.

aminer Worthington found that she was already a

Curious Freaks of Lightning.
Reported for The Ags.

Reported for The Egis.
On Wednesday at noon lightning played Curl
Gus freaks on Mr.. Edward NJ Aliens premises,
near Darlington. His house is % feet long and
has back building 46 feet long. A hall ten feet
wide runs through the main building. There
are porches back and front. At one end of the
back porch is a pantry. There are four Chin
neys on the house. three Of which extend nine
feet above the comb of the house.
In the rear of the house, 25 feet distant from it,
are three locust trees, each about one foot in di
ameter. AT end of this row of trees and
about % feet from the dwelling, is a poultry
house 16 by 20 feet. About 30 feet from the hen
house is a willow tree and under this tree was
chicken coop.
A ball of fire as large as a common wooden
bucket came in the front door, rolled through
the hall from end to end, went into the pantry
the back porch. Here it knocked down
Donald Hays, q little grandson of Mr.. Allen, who
there. From thence the lightning ran to the
locust trees tore one of them to splinters, killed
hen at the foot of the tree and picked her
feathers off clean. Then it jumped to the roof
of the hen house, tore q hole through the roof
and came out at the hide of the house. 1t then
ran to the chicken coop under the willow tree,
SO feet off, knocked an end out of the COOP
killed number of chickens which were in the
coop. ran to the trunk of the willow tree, bored
hole in the ground and disappeared.
There are four lightning rods on the house, one
on each of three chimneys and one in the middle
of the main building, and they connect with and
penetrate the earth in three places. Two Of the
rods have been struck and melted at different
times before.
Mrs. Allen was greatly alarmed until she
found her chickens were killed when her con-
sternation was drowned in grief.
This incident seems to show that we can put
no faith in lightning rods. E. A.

WILLIAM T. CLARK.
The Tin Tariff Fraud

The outrageous character of the fraud per-
Pesrated upon the American people by the
tariff on tin is daily becoming more and more
apparent. One of the excuses for it was that
IL would develop an American industry and
give employment to American labor. 1t has
not and probably never will do either of these
things. 1t now appears that ex-Congress-
man Neidringhsus, q rich McKinleyite, has
set up tin-plate factory in St. Louis, which
has not yet proved profitable. His workmen,
however, knowing the industry is highly
protected one, demanded, 1t is stated, higher
wages. Their demand was refused and Mr..
Neidringhaus appealed to the immigration
Commissioner for permission to import Welsh
tin workers to take the place of his American
Werkmsn. The Commissioner obligingly con-
scented to set aside the contract labor law and
allow Neidringhaus to import cheap Welsh
labor to make tin-plate.
Neidringhaus has undertaken to explain
why his company has felt obliged to send
abroad for labor. His letter appears to be
contradictory and is an apology rather than
an explanation.
These bogus tin factories, it appears, are
not making American tin but are working
tin imported at one cent pound duty during
the nine months preceding the first of July,
1891, when the higher duty went into effect,
The SPECTATORS, however, do not forget to
add the Mckinley tariff rate to the price of
their tin, and have the assurance to call it
American tin, when it is really nothing but
imported tin, made into tin plates in the
United States by imported labor. The man
ufscture Of tin plate in this country is merely
an experiment, and to save Mr.. Neidringhaus
and others like him from loss every family
and canning house in the land Is taxed.
1.-THE increased tariff tax of 100 per cent on
Tin plate" says the Philadelphia TIssss, sis a
multifarious fraud. 1t is fraud upon the
government in that 1t gave spectators nine
months In which 70 import tin after the
increased duty was fixed by law but before it
took effect it is fraud upon consumers,
who embrace every class and condition of
our people, because they must pay the in
creased price for It without benefit to either
the government or to American labor it is o
fraud upon our workingmen as tin plate, 30

this country. has been made out Of foreign
Gin and by foreign labor 1T Is fraud upon
the masses by taxing their tin while the STAN
dard OIL Company and like large consumers
can get their foreign tin free for export trade !;
and 1t is fraud in taxing the whole people
ever sixteen millions year for q very few
spectators whose greed is fully protected
while labor is without protection. tits fraud
all around and all through, and the time is
not distant when tin plate will be on the free
list because 1t is one of the common necessar-
les of life"

Fish are scarce in Romney Creek, owing to
the splashers and buck-net fishermen, who have
driven them out of our waters. Splashing is
done in this way. Two men go in boat with
gill nets. These are laid out along the edge Of
the channel aud anchored. The men in the boat
then take circle some distance from the boat,
out on the flats, and row back and forth until
they get back to The nets, splashing with their
oars and making all the noise they can to drive
the fish out of the grass and into their nets
Then the nets are taken up, the fish removed
and the nets laid out again farther up the creek.
This is done from the mouth OF Romney creek
to Its source.
The buck-net is q contrivance equally as
effective in catching lisa. Is it any wonder that
fish are driven from our waters 1t is to be
