A unlted Dem ecracr Can Beat alaIne.

NARRAGANSETT PIER. August p
enator Carlisle in an interview to-day,
discussed the political situation at
length. Speaking OF the third party
he said:
Il regard the measure of the third
party ticket in the field in '92 as con-
tingent. Suppose the Republicans
nominate Harrison, who is pronounced
in his anti-siIver belief, and the Dem
ocrats place Cleveland at the head of
the ticket. Cleveland has placed him
self against free coinage. The third
party could then be confronted by the
horns OF the dilemma. Probably they
would have ticket of their own. Ii
either one of the two great national
parties should nominate man who is
disposed to coquette with the silver
people, he would attract the attrn ion
of the alliance vote. The Republicans
will not consent to stand by Mr.. Blaine
who enjoys considerable personal
popularity in the Democratic party
largely owing to the course of the Dem
ocratlc press, which made him out as
the opponent of the force bill and the
Mckinley bill, but he he is really as
high a protecti0nist as the worst of
them ali. He struck a popular chord
when he sang out reciprocity, and is
now reaping the benefit of his own pop
ularity. l think Blaine could certainly
be beaten 10y united and vigilant

Amusing Answers OF witnesses.

1t has sometimes happened that a lawyer

"Why, SIR was the sly response, "as

In ike manner, arguing before jury of
judges, an oYer-smart counsel stopped short
IN his pleading. He was confident Of OBJ
tanning successful result, and Lord Newton
vexed him by seeming to be in deep slumber
Addressing the other lords on the bench, he
said:
"My lords. it is unnecessary to go on, as
Lord Newton is fast asleep"
What was his CONSERVATION when an
answer came:
"Ay, ay," cried the angry judge, ''you

But he was hoist with his own petard.
The witness smoothly and innocently an
swered:
II can see you plainly, sir, amongst the
other lawyers, though you are not a bit con-

In another comical instance the attack
was directed against the character of the

saugatuck saunterings.

Saugatuck. Sept. 5.-Although Saug-
atuck relies almost entirely upon water
ways for communication with the out
side world, the navigation of the river
to New Richmond, and the harbor
from the town out into Lake Michigan
is fraught with extreme difficulties.
Your correspondent took a trip from
Lake Michigan up the harbor upon the
steamer Prilgrim the other day, and TO
say that the "Pilgrim's Progress" WAS
slow is putting it mildly. Though the
steamer drew but seven and half feet
of water, it was with great difficulty
that .she made the harbor, and after
getting inside it was continual strug-
gle with sand bars that the two miles
up to town was made. Twice it was
found necessary to get out lines and
heave her otf.-The Moor's Dream

Moor's Dream is very successful navi-
gator; abe has . hinge in the middle
which enables her to make the bends Of
the river, and carries overhead water
tanks to supply the paddle wheels
over dry sand bars. Though the peach
crop in the vicinity of Saugatuck is
large, there are boats enough to carry
two or three such crops. The home
boats and peach growers failed to agree
upon prices at the commencement OF
the season, and the growers induced
outside boats to bid for the trade. As
consequence, the harbor is con-
stantly full OF smaller sized steamers
and the rates on fifth hushel packages
| to Chicago have been cut from five to
three and half cents. At the present
time about the only thing one sees or
hears of Is peaches or peach baskets.
