Presidential Outlook

Although il is yet three months before
the presidential nominating conventions
things are commencing to shape them
selves very decidedly. Hills boom got
very blackeye when the silver bill was
shelved. 1t is rather astonishing TO
note how his forces have disappeared !.
Tammany is ready to let him slide.
Democratic organs throughout the
country are changeing base SO far as
Hill is concerned. There is hardly
enough Hill sentiment in Wisconsin for
an old line democrat to stumbled over.
As Hill goes down, Cleveland comes up
and the Democratic outlook says Ceve-
land will be nominated. Palmer of llli-
nois cannot control the IrOquois club
and that club sets the fashion in demo-
cratic politics in Illinois. Indiana says
her "fovorite SON. Gray must give it
up because of the rapidly developing
Cleveland sentiment. The southern
states do not expect candidate from
their section and consequently are ready
to &C ,ept the doctrine of the democratic
party north. Henri Watterson leader
among the leaders in the south is how
ever opposed to both Cleveland and
Hill In fact he does not want any
candidate from New York Here is
what he says:
Considering the case as it is and facts
as they are. we can see only defeat in
MIR. Cleveland nomination and in that
of Gov. Hill IA well, and hence we
think ii best To leave New York alto
gether out in the selection Of nominee.
II this be not done. we shall look conf
IDENTITY to the vindicaton of the wisdom
of the counsel which the election will
bring; promising that in no event is the
prospect very reassuring.
Watterson does not seem entirely
confident OF happy. Pennsylvania dem
ocrats, New England democrats and
Old England are quite solid for Grover.
So far az the nomination at the Chicago
convention is concerned. ClevelandS
seems to be in the lead. But well il
Grover Cleveland was not good enough
for the people of these United State;
four years ago, when he was nearing
the close of presidential term with hi:
acts and policy fresh in the public
mind what may he and his friends rea
sonably expect after four years of un
precedented prosperity throughout The
country under Harrisons administration
There is but little doubt that the Mime
apolis convention will almost unani
mously re-nominate Benz Harrison
In fact all doubt seems to be removed
since Mr.. Blaine refused to ALLOW hi,
name t come before the convention
And why should not MIR Harrison be
re-nominated and reelected He has

Previous to 1860 England supplied the
United States with nearly all its pottery.
She had no competition, and fixed her
own prices, and we had 10 pay them.
The protective tariff raised the duty to
40 per cent and since Thea to 55 per
cent. Under these duties the industry
has sprung into existence, and grown
so that we make more than one-half of
all the crockery used in the country;
and the home competition has forced
down the price IN England as well as in
this country. so that YOU can buy as
much for 81 As you could in 1860 for 81.
and many descriptions are actually
cheaper and selling here for less price
than they are being sold in England.
The duty is four cents Oh prints, and
a corresponding higher late on the
higher grades of cotton goods. Will
the Tree trader pretend that these duties
have increased the price of these goods,
when some of these goods can be
bought lower than the duty. To-day
under protection every manufactured
commodity is cheaper than it was In
1860 under a revenue tariff or free
trade. j. A. CURTIS.

Gnod for the I.nmhermen.

Heavy rains have fallen and Ashland
lumbermen are happy. The winter has
been more than favorable to the work
in the woods, the cut has been enor-
nous and about all the logs are banked.
The rain swells the creeks so as to make
the driving of the logs very easy mat
ter. Conservative estimates place the
number of feet to be cut on Chequamo-
gon bay this season at between 225, OOO,-
600 and 900, 900, 900.

In THE estimation of some democratic
editors the tariff must be very queer
thing. A wooden factory fails and al
at once protection is heralded as the
cause OF it. A wooden manufacturer
makes some money, ana 10! the ''roboer
tariff is the cause of his riches. Queer
thing, that tariff.

quickly and quietly back out of sight
and called gently: Laura, come
here, dearl Come to mel I have
something to show you.
A moments agonized pause-and

In the Old World grasshoppers are
usually prepared by removing the
legs and wings and roasting, stewing,
boiling or frying the bodies. In Rus
STA they are sorted and smoked like

they are cooked in still different
ways. The United States entomolo-
gist says that they are good every
way but raw, and he sent a bushel of
them to well known St. Louis ca
terer, and the latter made soup
from them closely resembling craw-
fish bisque, Many declared that they
would have it often on their tables
if they could but obtain the insects.

turning to the man, said:
Dogs are against the rules"
The man was deeply interested in
the white film of smoke which coiled
upward from the end of his cigar
and did not hear, so the conductor
touched him on the elbow:
Dogs are not allowed to ride on
street cars, said"
Did you. indeed? All! and do the
dogs mind it very much, I wonder"
The two high school girls Uttered

knows herself"
'Well, will, then" and he showed
the dog off the platform, slammed
the door and went forward. The
man smiled, the boy whistled, the
dog jumped back again and the high

said, Il want you to understand that

Grim Signs.

Rain during burial is considered
an excellent "sign" throughout the
West India islands. If one measures
his own height with a rod which
has been used in measuring corpse
for the coffin, he himself will die
within the year. A stroke with the
hand of corpse is believed by the
West Indian to be a sure cure for
all pains and swellings.-St. Louis

According to the census made by

cent, followed by rheumatism,
scrofula and heart disease. Two
thirds of the children born do not
