REASONS THAT. SWAY VOTES.

An interesting symposium In the Nov
ember issue of the Forum contains con-
tributions from Messrs. James Schouler,
J.H. Schiff, Franklin MacNeagh, John
Claflin. HI. w. Cannon, Gen. A. {. Nc
Clurp. the Rev. David Swing and the
Hon. David Dudley Field, each OF whom
tells ''for whom shall vote and why"
The expressions come pat to the hour
and as the sight contributors are evenly
divided as to their preferences, four on
each side, the utterances may be assumed
to comprise pretty fair statement OF
the situation.
The four favoring Mr.. Harrison's cleo
ton are Messrs. Schiff, Cannon and
Claflin and Prof Swing. Mr.. Schltf
thinks that the moment the democratic
party gets into actual power it becomes
ga threat to the substantial interests OF
the country" Mr.. Clafiin basis his
preference on the tariff and silver ques-
tions. Prof. Swing, on the other hand,
finds that the tariff issues 'Fdo not fig
ure'' in the pending case, as "both par
ties are bound to the practice OF the pro-
change in the methods employed, be-
cause sit will cost less to go on than to
retreat" Mr. Cannon's reasons for pre-
ferring Harrison are personal respect
and a belief in the principles of the re-
publican party.
Mr.. Schouler likes Cleveland because
of ''the superior strength of the princi-
pies he represents" and because his ad-
ministration was "wise, sagacious, for
bearing and courageous" Mr.. Mac
Veagh's preferences have already been
made public, though he chrystalizes
them here in nine reasons, five based
upon a preference for the democratic
party and four upon Mr.. Cleveland's
superiority. Gen. McClurg likes Mr.
Cleveland for his attitude on the tariff
force-bill and pension issues. Mr.
Fields choice is made because of princi
pies rather than men. Mr.. Harrison
holds that the government should TAX
care of the people; Mr.. Cleveland, tina
the people should take care of themselves
As the contributors to this edifyini
symposium are evidently sincere, thei
utterances form an interesting illustra
ton of the diversity of opinions whicl
go to sway an election.
1t might not be bad idea for a
voters to draw up similar declarations c
political faith before going to the polls
Then, at least, they would be sure tina
they had such faith, backed by reaso
and study of facts.

The Fence of the Future.

There are number of strong points in
favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of
the future, the advantage of this kind OF
a fence may be briefly Enumerated as
follows: 1t becomes a perfect barrier
against all kinds of domestic animals
after three years growth; does not sap
or impoverish the ground, being a strict
ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow
from the seed or by cutting the roots
hence will not spread, it grows only to a
certain uniform height and therefore
does not require trimming, it has been
thoroughly and successfully tested in
northern climates and does not kill out
in the winter time, it serves the double
purpose of usefulness and ornamen-
tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms
during three months of the year, an in
vitation is extended to thoroughly test
its merits, and every one will be con-
vinced that it possesses all the advant-
ages claimed for it. Messrs. johnson &
Payne are now taking orders for the
Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform
success. Any one wishing a living grow,
ing fence something that will not spread
and will be a fence for all time to come
should give their orders now and get
their fence started this fall.

{ The democratic party must go to the

They would vote the ticket if it said all
domestic manufacturers should be fined,

The extravagant claims of democratic
success in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Indiana have been abandoned, and the
party is now facing the grave danger OF
losing Connecticut, New Jersey, Dele
ware and West Virginia. The recent
desperate effort to transfer the Oregon,
Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota, Kansas,
Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota demo-
cratic vote to the peoples party, with
the hope of throwing the election into
the house, is practical acknowledg-
ment that New York is looked upon as
lost, and that there is no hope for Cleve-
land in the electoral college.

He pointed the gun through the grating and

all knew that should it explode not man
could hope to escape, and with ! wild yell
OF terror they made rush for the steps. In
their mad eagerness to get out of danger
they pulled one another down BY the legs and
fought like fends, each striving to ascend

steps with his Delaying pin, and as fast as
they came up he felled them to the deck,
and was soon master of the situation. He
had used an old bomb which was not loaded,
but it answered his purpose, and crew was
soon hustled into the boat and started for

Too Busy to Dots on Beatrice.
Both boys were made pages to Isabella in
1893. Both children were educated by
Beatrice, o fact which irving seemed to
have thought pointed toward a devotion, q
chastity and large-heartedness that were
sufficient grounds for the love and conf
dence of Columbus Certain it is, as the
mother of his son, Fernando, Beatrice
claimed what respect and consideration he
found time in his busy lite to give her. but
which could not have been much, and in his
last moments he tried to atone for whatever
injustice he may have done her.
In the frsgmentary records of Columbus
there are many tragic suggestions, and in
his life, as we have learned it from them,
there are still more tragic situations. OF
the two women whose lives were sat one
time so closely connected with the great
dlscoverer whose sons were made his heirs,
only these few shadowy, somber outlines
remain. Neither woman could have had
much of brightness in her life, and on the
whole ii is not uni Just to conclude that both
doubtless had to pay the common penalty
OF loneliness and selfsacrifce entailed in
marriage to greatness.
But which one of these three heroines
think you should share the honors to be ac-
corded Columbus at the Worlds Fair? The
woman was the mother of his rirst-born and
who indirectly gave the inspiration; the
woman, who remained at home to weep IN
secret, denied even the solace of his name;
or the woman who sacrificed her jewels,
which we as women understand, we're not SO
dear to her for their Intrinsic value a, for
the tender associations doubtless connected
with them-Ehich?

CHAPTER XIV.
HOMEwARD BOUND,

On May 16 we crossed the meridian. As
some readers may not bs inform ed on the
subject, I will explain that in rounding the
world from west to east an entire day of "a
hours is gained in time, and it is the custom
among mariners to drop a day from the log
when the 1S0th degree of longitude is
passed, although really but halt day has
been gained up to that time. We crossed
this point on Sunday, and we were given
the next day also to ourselves The igno-
rant Portuguese could never be made to
understand how it was possible to have two
Sundays in one week, and declared the
Captain was crazy.
Our fair wind soon lett us, and we en-
countered adverse winds constantly for
many weeks. TIE vessel again leaked
badly, and it was &c days after we left Mon
gonui before we doubled Cape Horn.
When we arrived in the vicinity of the
River de la Platte whaling grounds, we en-
countered terrific gale from the southwest.
We were obliged to run before it, as the
leak in our bow made it impossible to heave
to. The weather had been such for some
time as to prevent US from removing the

Getting Into . Scrape,

st. Louis Repubic.1
The origin of the expression above quoted
is as follows: In Scotland they play a
game called golf, the favorite grounds for
such sport being the ''doyns." or 1inks. -
The rabbits frequent these '1inks," and the
hole made by them is called "ascrape {"
Golf is played with hard ball of wood or
other substance, which is driven from point
with a mallet usually made of wood, but
sometimes of iron. The game itself is a
cross between our croquet and shiny"
thus it will be seen that when a ball gets
into "ascrape" it is very difficult to get it
out, and the player is in a correspondingly
bad fix generally. Such incidents occur so
frequently that the books on ''golfng" have
laid down rules as to what may be done in
the time of such an emergency, "getting
into ascrape" being the golfers greatest
drawback. From this has arisen the term
now in such common use among us, meaning
in bad fix.

His Honor sailed out to look for Dandy
Jim, and found him. D. j. didn't look a
hit pleased over the find. He is the man
who used to run this town under the former
mayor, and it hurts him to realize that he
has lost his grip. The crowd expected some
shooting, but none occurred His Honor
walked right up TO Jim and picked him up
and slammed him against the fence till he
hollered for mercy. Then he made him eat
one of the handbills and tear up the rest,
and Dandy skunk out of town like a scared
coyote.
It is useless to add that there won't be
any citizens meeting on Friday night to
protest and so forth. His Honor was
elected to run this town as nearly on East
ern principles as was convenient, and he's
going to do it if somebody gets hurt every
Is minutes. The American eagle may
scream and the Goddess of Liberty shed
tears of grief, but things will be held level
in this burg while His Honor's term of
Office lasts.

They have also peculiar objection to

accomplished by the crossbreeding of the

jelly fish found in Japanese waters. "The
commissioners, said Mr. Crawford, chad
much difficulty in securing supply OF these
jelly fishes in healthy, living condition,
but at last managed to bring about L. 100 of
them to San Francisco, and thence TO the
Chesapeake bay hatchery in tank cars
They have thrived amazingly, and our ex-
periments, while at first rather discour-
aging, now leave but little doubt of turn
