PRACTICAL POLITICS.

The details of the co operative ar
rangement agreed upon between the
Democrats and Peoples party in Kan
SaS are Of interest, from the fact that
the conditions are similar in three or
four other states. and the example likely
to be followed. There was a full rep
resentation of both parties at the con-
ference held the past week, and the ex-
hibitiOn OF practical politics somewhat
surprising i'll view of the sentimentality
that is so vigorous in Kansas politics.
Entire harmony prevailed, and the as
pirationS Of candidates were subordi-
nate TO the common purpose. The Peo-
pies party,a the stronger element, was
given most of the state Offices, the Dem
Ocrats having the congressman at large
and two positions requiring lawyers
The consideration of the electors was
deferred until after the nominations of
the parties are made. No doubt is had
that the mutuality of effort will extend
to the presidential ticket. This is the
part of the arrangement of special out
side interest. The only question raised
by the Democrats, as they are in au un-
questioned minority in the state, is
whether they shall ask for any of the
electors or accept the Peoples selections
in full. 1t is of small moment to them
who has the electors, SO that they are
taken out of the Republican list. One
point about which there is some confu-
sion of terms was made clear. No
fusion is contemplated. The party
organizations will be preserved, and
the lines drawn as distinctly as
ever. Each Will have its own
platform and name its candidates for
the positions agreed upon. Neither viii
subscribe to all the points IN the plat
form OF the other, but there must be
some prominent aim held in common.
There is substantial agreement OH tariff
policies and the desirability of deposing
the Republican party. The only essen
tial point with the Democrats is that the
electors shall in no event vote for the
Republican nominees. The cO-opera-
tion is simply on practical, business
lines, and differs in no material way
from combinations the Republicans
have often made with the Prohibition
lists and other minor parties. 1t presumes
that it is better to have half loaf
than to fail of getting anything by
reaching for the whole bakery. Should
a similar arrangement, as many urge
and anticipate, extend to Nebraska, the
Dakotas and this state. it would easily
control the electoral vote of them all.

and 10 drop the metaphor-Mr. HAR-
tRIsoN and his friends have made a
serious tactical blunder in conducting
an offensive campaign against Mi.
BLAINE instead of fighting it out
on the line of the presidents indi-
yidual merits. The admonitlon which
came from the White house to
the administration headquarters at Min
neapolis 10 make no personal attacks
on Mr.. BLAINE in connection with his
resignation" came too late. The damage
had already been done. Mr.. BLAINE
and his followers had already been in
furiated by the presidents World inter-
view, wherein he complained OF credit
stolen from himself TO magnify the
merits of his chief secretary. They were
further infuriated by the injudicious
utterances of Secretaries ELKINs and
FOSTER and Attorney General MILLER,
and by the incessant prattle of Son RUS
SELL. The destinations of douole-deal-
ing made against Mr. BLAINE, and the
constant Harrisoaian harplng about the
secretary's i'll health and incapacity for
public duty were, however wen
founded, fatally indiscreet. The BLAINE
sentiment took fire at them, and burst
into a mighty contlagration. In its fury
the fire may burn itself out before the
balloting begins; but if it doesn't. and
the hopes OF the clan HARRISON go up
in its smoke. the latter have themselves
chiefly to blame for bringing finder into
close connection with a tirebrand.

DIGGING BAIT OR MAKING
GARDEN?

The BLAINE boomers are reveling in
ent husiasm. They are having all the
fun there is in town. and making all
the noise. The ecstasy with which the
proverbiaI small boy prepares for fish
ing excursion is little potatoes compared
with the exuberant JOY with which
these shouting Blainiaes are going about
their preparations to fish out victory
for the great letter writer. But this
alIusion to piscatoriaI pursuits suggests
somewhat ancient episode, and the
latter in turn suggests possible rude
awakening for these noisy sleep-walkers.
The characters in the episode were
Farmer JENKs, his boy HIRAM and an
inquiSitive neighbor.
''Mr. JENKs," said the neighbor,
"what's that boy HIRAM O. yourn
doin' 3"
"WeH," said Farmer jerks, ''he
thinks he's diggIn' bait, but he's max
in garden"
Just so, these joyful BLAINE boomers
consider that they are digging bait to
catch BLAINE yietory-and perhaps
they are. But then, again, perhaps
Farmer GARRISON could tell them. il
he chose. that after all they are only
"makin' garden" wherein to grow sweet
corn Tor dark horse.

HABITS OF CRAWFIsH.

How They Kill Their Prey-Rais-
ing Them for Market in Europe.
Washington Star.
There is nothing so fatal to crawfish
as thunder Storm" said fish dealer
to Star writer. "When l make ship
ment of them to any place at a distance
| always make sure that the weather
promises well. On more than one Occa-
sion 1 have had entire consignments
killed on a journey by small electrical
disturbance. Another thing | have to
look out for is that the crawiSh shall be
be so tightly packed as not to be able to
turn upon their backs. If they do so,
they work their feet until exhausted
and die.
1.-The worst enemies crawfiSh have
are eeis, whose favorite food is one-year
old crawfish. Bigger ones seem very
rarely to be eaten by the eels. If you
want plenty of eraWfish in pond or
stream, you must catch all the eelS.
The crawfiSh themselves are very yo-
raci0us feeders. AS soon as dusk sets
in each evening they become lively and
move about with great agility. They
swim well and have very keen sight.
When the crawfiSh has Spied Its prey, it
steals up and with one bold dash i'm
paleS the little fish or frog on its tusk,
as the long horn between its eyes is
called. Then it drops to the bottom and
deyours its victim.
''There are plenty of crawfish about
Washington. in the Potomac and its
tributary streams. In the spring they
come to market i'll great numbers. The
female stays in her hole while the
young are Matching from the eggs. On
an average each one has from $50 to 200
eggs. The young look like small worms
and remain for some time attached by
strong threads to the mothers tai,
being thus protected from fishes and
other enemies. At the end of a Year
they are as big as ~asps, but they grow
slowly, and three or four years elapSe
before they get to be as big as four
inches. BY the time they are eight
years old they have reached full size
LIN Europe, | am told, fishermen
gather crawliSh by the aid of torches.
In summer the animals seek the shall
lows where the bottom is clear. and
those who hunt for them do so at night
with flaming pine knots. This method
is called lighting The erawfish are
daZzled by the light and do not attempt
to escape, so that they can be easily cap
tured by the hands. One person will
often take 1000 in a night. CrawfiSh
are much cultivated abroad In ponds
and Enclosures of water. No artificial
means are Tesorted TO for their propaga-
ton. but eelS and predatory fishes are
caught and removed. Thus the eraWfish
are given chance 10 multiply, and they
are fed upon fresh meat to fatten them
for market. The industry is very profit
able"

An Unexpected WindfaII for Four

Gently arrived in the country, and as
poor in purse himself. says the Phila-

dren were born TO the pair, and then, in
1856, the wife died of consumption.
The bereaved husband managed to
keep mis- little ones together. and TO
support them for some years in reason
able comfort, but the task was severe
one to a man dependent wholly on day
wages as a farm hand. His wife told
him, while living, that she had wealthy
maiden aunts in England who would
be likely to remember her or her chill
dren in their wills; but he gave only
momentary thought to the prospect of
a Windfall from that quarter. But
year ago he received letter from
firm of solicitors at Camberwell. Eng,
announcing that Miss Lucy Coednex, a
maiden aunt of his late wife, had died,
leaving all of her property to the chill
dren of Lucy Noble Walrath.
The property consisted of stores and
cottages in Camberwell and bank shares
and stocks in a number of industrial as
sociations. A few days later he received
remittance on account OF the legacy of
s., 900, and last week another remittance
reached him on the same account of
1850. 1t is understood the two chill
dren will eventually inherit from the
two maiden aunts property of the value
of about 100000. The eldest child is
about fifteen years old.

THE FARMERS NEED.

Now that Spain has let in the Amer
lean hog. he has the range of most of
Europe, but is still vexed with exactions
that hamper his way. In the exuber-
ance Republicans sometimes feel at the
little slice of free trade that makes Nc
KinieyiSm tOlerabIe, they fancy that
reciprocity has something to do with
the admittance Of the American pOrker
to European markets. This is a de-
lusion some in high position have been
willing to encourage. The people over
there have insisted upon the chance to
add to their meat supplies, and the
doors have been unlocked. but the
toll gatherer still sits by the ell
trance. There is no reciprocity In
the thing. The tariff duties of
Spain, France and Germany are
so high that the Common people will be
unable to buy much pork. In addition
TO the cost of shipments thousands of
miles they have to pay duty of about
two cents per pound. Here is a place
where reciprocity should come in to the
advantage of the American farmer. A
veiy considerable market could be
found for his hog meat if the duties
could be obvlated. This is the chance
for craftsmanship. Reciprocity is free
trade In slices. The hog is one of the
products that ought to afford large bene-
fit to the grower on this side. 1t is of no
great Importance to him whether the
would-be consumer in the old world is
debarred by disease or tariffs from buy
ing the meat. The name of the thing is
not material, call it reciprocity or
what else. If France, Germany and
Spain can have less obstructed access to
American markets with what they have
10 sell, they will reduce the duties on
the foodstuffs of this country. Tariff
reduction is the road to improved con-
ditiGns of trade in the productions of
the American farmer.

From lure of sunny skies and soft winds
