NOT NOW IN THE REPUBLICAN
pARTV


There have been men calling themselves
Repubhcaus who were free traders, out
they cannot now be found in the Repu0ll-
can party They are in the Democratic
party where they belong. -IntelliGeHcer.
Alas! no. Most OF them are dead,
the martyr Republican President, JAMES
A. GARFIELD, for instance, who said:
Duties should be so high that our manu-
tacturers can fairly compete with the iot-
eign product bat not so high as to endbts
them 90 drive 0,it the foreign article, ENJOY
m0H0p0ll Of the trade, and regulate the prices
as hsy PLEASE. ii Congress pursues TINS
line OF policy steadily, we shall, year Oy
year, approach more nearly 70 TINS oasis OF
free trale, because we shall be more nearly
aOle 20 compete with other nations on equaI
terms. Tam for a protection rhtch leads 10
ultimate free trade.
The Mtelligerccr should inform itself
on the views Of these men calling
themselves Republicans who were free
traders" The ntcUigcReer is right when
il says 'they cannot now be found in the
Republican party" GARFIELD, GRANT,
AEruUR, FoLGER and host OF other
Republicans who have joined the great
silent majority cannot now be found in
the Republican party"-they cannot
and would not even be found dead in
the Republican party as it is to-day
constituted.
The utterances or the platform on
which the present Republican President
stands might have caused groan TO be
heard 10 the tomb at Riverside Park, in
which lie the mortal remains OF the
great soldier President, GRANT, who
said:
Many duties now collected, and which
give out au insignificant return for the cost
OF collection, might be RENTED, and 70 the
direct advantage of the consumers at home.
I would mention those articles which enter
into manufactures of an sorts. Ill duties
pCii upon such articles 90 directly % the cost
Of the gTtics iChCn mdHaJ dc'Ued here, and
must bs pCij for by the CONSUMERS These du-
ties NOT Opiy come from the consumers Gt home,
bet act as q protection tO foreign m1nrdctuT-
srs ~ me same completed articles iH our OWn
ana distant markets.
How have the mighty fallen when
these utterances OF the greatest of Re
publican statesmen, when repeated to-
day by the Democratic party, are called
"Brftish free trade seutimentw
Or, rather. what fall was there for
the Republican party from GRANT and
GARFIELD 70 TRANSPORTATION patriot
ism TO selfish aud debased partisan ship.

OPENING PARLIAMENT.
The Usual FormalIties Being Carried Out,
Reading the Commission.

The Usual Fornallties Being Carried Out,
Reading the Commission.
LONDON, August 5.-At noon to-day
the Speaker of the House OF Commons
took the chair There was meagre at
tendance OF Government supporters,
many of the seats on their side being
unOccupied, but there was fair num-
Der OF the opposition present. Soon az
ter the House assembled, the gentleman
usher of the Black Rod summoned the
members of the House to attend IN the
House of Lords and hear the commits
sion for the new Parliament read. Mr..
Peel, the Speaker, attired in court
dress, and attended by the members
present obeyed the summons, and pro-
ceeded to the House OF Lords, where
the Commissioners IN full recess were
found waiting to receive him,
After these ceremonies had been per
formed, the members of the House o!
Commons led by the Speaker returned
to the House where Mr.. Peel signed the
roll, and took the oath of Office. He
was followed In this duty by the Prlvy
Councillors present and by the members
who, as is customary, took the oath Ia
patches of five. With GO members to
take their places and be sworn some
days must be occupied with the indis-
pensable formalities.
There is growing feeling among all
parties that, having regard to the ardu-
Gus work involved by the general cleo
ton and considering the period OF the
year, II Is desirable TO accelerate pro-
ceedings as much as possible in order to
make September holiday month.

OUR PRECIOUS CENSUS COMMITS

The most royalty large, elegant aud
complete expose that any public official
has had his private character subjected
70 is made by the New York World Of
August 4. 1t devoteS FIVE columns to
the exploits Of Census Commissioner
ROBERT P. PORTER as a wine-bOomer,
showing how this high Republican Of
fetal drummed up a certain brand Of
champagne and threw his wileS about
the big men of the party and the ad-
min!stratlon, from HAEEISoN and MOE-

for a considerable sum of money on the
strength of his (PoBTEE's) connection

macy with prominent statesmen among

There is no way out Of it for PORTER
except TO prove that the correspondence
between him and the aforesaid wine
merchant which the World publishes in
fac-simile is a forgery from beginning
to end, and that the legal records are
false, which show that Wine Merchant
ScuERCk, whose eyes were opened after
about q years experience, has
instituted proceedings TO collect bill
for the wine furnished to PoRTEB and
for the $3.50 he gave PORTER to spend for

Lock and Dam No. 10 to be Located on
the 8IOnongahela.


MORGANTowN. w. VA, August o.
What will prove most gratifying news
to the residents of the upper Mononga-
hela Valley has just been given out by
United States Engineer Golay, and Is in
brief that the slackwater improvement
is to be extended to Fairmont. The
REGISTER correspondent called on Col.
Golay to-day and asked about the con-
templated Improvement. He said:
'In q few days men OF experience
who have already been engaged, will
drill along the shores of the river from
two TO three miles above Morgantown
to test the foundation, and at such
point as is found sufficiently solid lock
and dam No. 10 will be located. At the
earliest possible convenient time there
after active operations will begin, and
will be prosecuted as long as the
weather will permit. Lock No. is
nine miles below here, and give slack
water TO a short distance only above
this point. By the survey we have made
from here TO Farmount we have esti-
mated that six locks and dams will be
required to extend slackwater to that
place. At present there is
only an appropriation OF S95, 600
intended for this improvement, and on
this amount we can make beginning
and keep on with the work until a suf-
ficieut appropriation is made TO COM
plete the work, and there is every rea-
son TO believe this will be done by the
Fifty-third Connress, and no doubt
would have been done by this but for
the economy being practiced TO make q
contrast with the lavishness OF the
Flfty-frst Congress. The REGISTER
may tell the people Of the valley that
the start on the work they have been
looking for Is soon TO be made"

their venom.
Perhaps it will be we'll here to say .
few words more in regard to snake
charmers. Many kinds Of serpents. es-
pecially the hooded cobra of India, are
thought to be affected by music. In
capturing them for exhibition the In
dian takes his bagpipe, and. ststioning
himself near an old well or ruin, begins
to play. A cobra is almost certain TO
mako it's appearance soon, for they are
very numerous in that country. They
are held in sacred reverence. the little
children calling them uncle" and sot-
ting saucers of milk for them to drink,
and they are looked upon as guardian
angels. Should one be killed the slayer
would suffer death in punishment. As
the music of the bagpipe rises and falls
the snake seems to sway slowly to and
fro, and, all unconscious, is seized by
the musicians confederate. In this
state of musical excitement tho snakes
are said to be quite safe to handle, al

A TALK ABOUT SNAKES.

Now the RATHER and Otlher Poisonous
Reptiles Attack People.
Ny only rattlesnake was caught alive
By young girl who bad that summer
killed eleven on her farm In California
This snake has FIVE rattles, which, if
we believe they denote the age, will
show that he is Eve years old. Darwin
believed that the rattle, besides being
used as q warning to keep OF the
snakes enemies, sometimes is employed
to call their mates.
The heads of most Of tho venomous
snakes, including the ''rattlers," bulge
just beyond the neck. Without excep-
ton they have fangs, either always
erect or raised and laid back at will.
These fangs are long, sharp-pointed
teeth, with a hollow groove running
their entire length. At the root of
each fang is little bag of poison.
When the snake bites the motion
presses the poison sac and its contents
flow down through the hollow In the
tooth into the puncture or wound. The
harmless little forked tongue is often
spoken Of by the uniformed as the
snakes "stinger." Now, there is no
propriety in the name, as the poisonous
snakes do not sting, but bite, their VIC
Tins. There is no creature. even If
brought from foreign countries where
''rattlers" do not exist, but will halt
and tremble at the first warning sound
Of the rattle.
DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, with others, has
been making experiments with the
venom OF different serpents. He has
found that, aside from it's poisonous
qualities, it contains living germs,
which have tho power of increasing
enormously fast. So, you sec, when an
animal is bitten, these tiny bits Of life,
entering with the poison, cause harm
full action to begin almost at once. Dr.
Mitchell has found that the nervous
center controlling the act of striking
seems to be in the spinal cord. for if he
cut of snakes head, and then pinched
its tail, the stump of its neck turned
back, and would have struck his hand
had he been bold enough to hold it
still.
When q snake has bitten several
times, tho poison is quite exhausted for
the time being, rendering the animal
comparatively harmless. It is said to
be this fact which enables the Indian
snake-charmers to handle their charges
