WHY THEY sQUIRM.

New York Press
The Dry Goods Chronicle accuses the
Press of "silly Justification" in claiming
the cheapening of cotton goods as
victory of the tariff, because, forsooth,
raw cotton has fallen q per cent, and
the raw material is half the cost. AS
the cheapness of cotton is due to our
enormous home production, and as our
home production became enormous when
protective duties built up our cotton
manufacturing industries and made a
home market for American cotton, the
Press declines to be "contrite" or to
apologize" 1t stated the fact that
certain cotton goods had gone down in
price, and the fact that the Mckinley
bill had increased the duty on them.
And it thereby succeeded in forcing the
free trade organs for once to admit the
truth that the duty is not added to the
price and paid by the consumer; that
the prices of products are most inde-
pendent of "tariff taxes" when we have
most built up the home production of
both the raw material and the product,
and that, for that reason, the higher the
protection the lower the tax. That is
the real reason why they squirm.

THE RUSSIAN KNOUT

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
A knout is not merely a lash or whip,
but an ingenius and refined instrument
of torture, consisting of a very long and
narrow strip of leather with thin edges.
This leather is first boiled and soaked
in preparation of iron, in order to
make it hard and heavy. Before allow
ing it to harden, however, the thin edg-
es are doubled over along the whole
length of the knout, and in such man.
ner as to make them very sharp, so that
the knout on its concave side is like two
long, flexible knives The knout falls
ION its concave side) on the naked back
of the victim, and the sharp borders cut
into the flesh like knives. Should the
executioner perform his task conscienti-
ously, the victim usually swoons away
under the third stroke, and often dies
under the fifth. Peter the Great fixed
by an ''ukase" the maximum number of
strokes at 101, and when that number
was really inflicted it was usually upon
a dead body, since it is next to impossi-
BILE for human being to survive more
than twenty honest strokes of the knout.
Therefore, it is very rare for the regula-
tion number of strokes to be inflicted,
unless with intent to kill.

Value of Our Forests.

Chicago Tribune.
Some figures recently issued by the
Department of Agriculture show the
great Importance of our woods and
forests to the industries of the United
States. The total annual product of all
kinds of material is about 25, 100000, 900
cubic feet, equal to solid bulk of a
mile square on the base and a little more
than one-sixth of a mile high. 1t is
equal to the annual increase of 500,000,-
600 acres of forest in good condition
The value is about 81, 900, 100000, being
ten times that of the entire gold and
silver output, three times the product of
all the coal and other minerals, and
nearly three times the farm value of the
wheat crop. 1t exceeds the gross in
come of all the railroads and other
transportation companies. 1t would
suffice to pay the indebtedness of all the
States, except New York and Pennsyl-
vania, including that of all counties,
townships, school districts and cities
within those States Gn 1890, and would
more than wipe out the remaining public
debt of the United States.
Ten years ago manufactures of all
kinds held the first place in Importance
as measured by dollars, agriculture sec
ond, and forest products ranked third
1t is thought that since then the lumher
industry has enlarged to such an extent
that the forest production now occupies
the second place, if not the first. The
capital employed in milling the product,
exclusive of harvesting, is roughly esti-
mated at $650,000,000, and more than
100000 people are employed in the di-
rect manufacture of forest and sawmill
products alone, without counting the
employment afforded by its transporta-
tion to points of consumption and man
ufacture there.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakeful-
ness is in nine cases out of ten dys-
peptic stomach; good digestion gives
sound sleep, indigestion interferes with
it; the brain and stomach sympathizes;
one of the prominent symptoms of a
weak state of the gastic organs is a dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot, the
brain; inivgorate the stomach, and you
restore equilibrium to the great centre;
most reliable medicine for the purpose
is.Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is
far preferable to sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may for a
time exert soporific influence upon the
brain, soon cease to act, and invariably
injure the stomick; the Bitters, on the
contrary, restore activity to the opera
tions of that all-important organ, and
their benficent influence is reflected in
sound sleep and tranquil state of the
nervous system; wholesome impetus is
likewise given to the action of the liver
and bowels by its use. 8-6-4w

the Legislature, if it is Democratic, an
amendment to the Constitution will be
presented to the people, on the adoption
of which the Legislature will be free to
pass an income tax law. These are only
subterfuges to prevent the serious loss
of votes that is threatened by the
blundering platform makers OF the
Buckeye Democracy.
The real point about these planks is
that they were adopted deliberately by
an organized and representative body of
Democrats whose leaders and standard
bearer now seek to repudiate them. Mr..
Thurman, in citing the constitutional
obstacle to the adoption of an income
tax, arraigns his party in Ohio for ig-
norance and demagogism. So far as
Republicans are concerned the indict-
ment will hold good and there is not
much doubt but that the voters of Ohio
will pass the same verdict at the polls in
November.

An Epidemic of Bloody Flux.

Last summer the flux ragged here to a
fearful extent; about five miles north of
here at the Whiteside grave yard there
were five victims of this dreadful disease
buried in one day; the doctors could do
nothing with the disease; when my FAM
lily were taken, went to Walter Brothers
of Waltersburg, and told them the stu
alton; they said: Give Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy;
that they had sent out several hundred
bottles into the infected district, and
"every day we hear how this medicine is
curing them; so far we have not heard
of its failing in single instance" l
went to giving it, and could soon see the
good effects, and cure was the result;
any one in doubt about these facts may
write to mel. d. ELLIS, Rock, Pope

THE Democrats continue to howl
about the extravaganza of the last
Congress. When it is considered that a
large part of the "billion dollars" of
which they so much complain, was
spent in paying claims pending for the
last ninety years and which were just
and legal, it is found that it was an
economical Congress. The Democracy
have always been in favor ofrepudiation,
and year after year they passed over
these claims, and had the Democrats
retained control they never would have
been paid. A man is honest and upright
when he pays his debts, and the same
rule applies to government. The Re-
publicans have no apologies for the last
Congress. 1t did more work and better
work than any other Congress in history.
Yet every movement was obstrueted by
the filibustering of the Democracy, and
everything done was done by the pre-
servance and indomitable will of the
Republican members led by Speaker
Reed.

A HORSE WALKS A TREsTLE.

A A
Olympic Tribune.
A strange scene was witnessed recent
ly on the Northern Pacific trestle at the
water works. The trestle is about 600
feet long and IS feet high. Under it is
the Union Pacific roadbed. The ties
are about eight inches apart, and are
about evenly distributed the entire dis
tance.
At an early hour the attention of doz-
en- people was attracted by large sorrel
horse which had walked along the tres
tie from tbs south and was unaware of
the danger ahead. He was unable to
turn around, and had fully 500 feet to
travel. The spectators were struck with
awe, expecting every moment to see the
animal dashed to atoms by fall.
Now fully mindful of his danger, it
was remarkable to note the instinct
with which the animal stepped cauti-
ously from one tie to another. He had
just reached that part of the trestle
above the Union Pacific roadbed when
he became dazed and missed his footing.
His hind feet caught in the tie and
threw him, so that the rear portion of
his body overhung the frame work of
immense bridge, while he held himself
by his fore feet. The scene was a sick
ening one, and the spectators looked ev-
cry moment for the fatal fall. Suddenly,
with powerful lunge, the animal threw
his body toward the trestle and managed
to regain his feet.
Again he started on his perilous walk,
and when within few feet of the end
of the bridge fell again, and was caught
in much the same manner Martin
Scully started to the assistance of the
animal with rope, but the horse was
so close to terra firma that he made an
other effort to regain his feet and fell to
the slOping bank, just short distance
below. His mouth and hoof were badly
bruised in the struggle, but otherwise
he was uniniured.

Christian Courtesy

Harpers Weekly.
The long illness of Mr.. Spurgeon has
served to furnish another illustration of
the relaxing of mere sectarian bonds.
Mr.. Gladstone's very warm letter of SYM
pathy has been published, and the wife
and daughters of the archbishop of Can
terbury have called to inquire about the
health of the arch nonconformist. These
are pleasant incidents, because the mo-
meut that differences of religious belief
are regarded as but honest differences of
opinion, and are not deprecated and de-
nounced as imperilling the souls sal
yation, the kingdom of heaven is visibly
nearer.
1t is this feeling which interprets the
late ecclesiastical discussions in this
country. The public mind refuses to ad-
NIT that rectitude of life and intellectual
honesty and spiritual aims are not as
essential elements of religion as uniform
ity of speculative opinion or dogma.
Without denying that harmony of view
may be essential to ecclesiastical CO.
operation, the good sense of the COM
nnnity helds- saeh-eo operation to be
wholly independent of the vital religious
spirit. To speak of Bishop Brooks as a
dangerous" preacher is to talk nonsense,
if the phrase means danger to the es-
sence of religion.
In an old-fashioned country commu-
nifty in which there might be two or three
different churches when there should have
been but one. it was generally true that
the members of each differed more warm
ly as sectaries than they agreed as Chris
tians. AS Christians they could not diff
fer about the essential faith. Their di-
vergence was about non essential forms
OF dogmas of faith. The wars and per-
secutions and burnings and unspeakable
crimes against God and man that have
been wrought in the name of religion
have been disputes of such forms and
dogmas. But when Torquemada in
quires tenderly for the health of a Jew,
the millennium is at hand

HOW SOME QUEER FISH DINE.


j. K. Bangs in Harper's Young People.
The carp carries his teeth back in his
throat, so that when he has sore throat
he does not know whether to send for a
doctor or dentist. He resembles the
COW in the respect that he chews his cud.
1t is pity that some of the other virtues
of the COW do not pertain to the carp, for
he would be much more useful fish if
this were so, although it would not be
possible for him to give milk, as does our
good bovine friend, owing to the certain
destruction of every drop of it by the riv-
er in which he lives, and which, as many
of the readers of this paper know,is full
of water.
The horseshoe crab chews its food
with its legs, which is very curious
thing even for crab to do, while the
oyster feeds with its beard. The oys-
ters would starve to death if they had
to wait as long as little boys and girls
do for their boards to grow; but fort
unately they have to do nothing of the
sort, although, to tell the truth, the oysters
beard is hardly more perceptible than
that of the smoothest-f faced little boy or
girl in the world.
The jelly-fish hasn't any teeth, but uses
himself as if he were piece of paper
when he is hungry, getting his food, and
then wrapping himself about it. The star
fish, on the contrary, turns himself in
side out and wraps his food around him,
and stays that way until he has had
enough. The prongs of the starfish look
like teeth, but in reality they are not, be-
ing nothing but ornaments to his person.
These are but small proportion of
the queer things about queer fish, but |
think we have learned enough to make
us all glad that we are what we are, and
not fish, especially about dinner time.

PUBLIC OPINION.

WAR TAXES IN TINES OF PEACE.
Cleveland Leader.
The morning calamity organs wants
to know the reason war taxes are main
tanned in times of peace. There is no use
in keeping up some war taxes, and for
that reason the Republican party re-
pealed the duties on sugar, thus saving
the people of this country $l50,000,000,
though the Democratic party, excepting,
of course, our contemporary, which has
repudiated the Mills bill, was in favor of
"war tax" on sugar. The Democratic
party is also favoring war tax on in
comes in times of peace. which the same
party violently opposed in times of war.
The Mckinley bill was passed in 1890,
some twenty-five years after the Demo
cratic rebellion, and it removed the war
taxes except in cases where protection
to American workingmen was needed.
The Democratic party was also in
favor of taxing tea and coffee in times
of peace, as well as sugar. Secretary
Manning said that the tax of ten million
dollars upon these articles could be so
distributed that the people would stand
squeeze to that amount on tea and
coffee. He called it an "unconsidered
trifle."
Grover Cleveland and Dan Manning
called tax of ten million dollars on tea
and coffee ''trife" because it was paid
by the people. But when the Mills bill
was being incubated another Cabinet
officer of the Cleveland administration
succeeded in getting tin plate placed
upon the free list, because wealthy trusts
and corporations paid the duty, which at
that time amounted to only $7,OOO,OOO.
In other words according to Democratic
ethics, the duty on tea and coffee,
amounting to ten million dollars pei
year, which is paid by the people, is
mere "triHe," but duty of seven million
dollars per year, which is paid by large
corporations and trusts, is a tax and
must not be collected.

THE Peoples Party leaders are now
devoting their time to making extrava-
CANT boasts of the number of votes they
will poll this fall. The Prohibition
party did the same thing a few years
ago, but their votes before the election
numbered about four times as many
as after they were counted. The same
will be true of the Peoples party this
fall, and in a year or SO they will never
be heard of again. 1t is quite natural
for vain demagogues such as Purvis
and Seitz to take unto themselves
imaginary strength, but it is entirely
imagination
