Letter from r. J. Mei~har

We are requested to publish the
following letter from Thos. j.
Meighen, chairman of the executive
committee of the peoples party of
this state, in reply to an editorial
which appeared in the Preston Times
of last week:
FoREsTvILLE, Oct. II, '92.
EDITOR PRESTON TIMES:
In your issue of the 18th inst, un-
der the caption "a Liar as usual is
the st. Paul Globe, ," you refer to the
voluntary action of the democratic
state committee, in placing upon
their electoral ticket four OF the pop
ulist electors as trade, meaning
that it was a deal between said COM
mittee and the peoples party COM
mittee. Allow me to say through
your columns that the averment of
the Globe as quoted by you was lit
orally true. Its whole statement was
as follows: Cali OF these gentlemen
are on the electoral ticket OF the peo-
pies party, but their selection by the
democratic state central committee
was made without any conference
whatever with the state committee
of the peoples party. There was no
bargain or arrangement with the
peoples party by which the latter
was to endorse any democrat" As
chairman of the peoples party state
committee positively affirm that the
first knowledge had of the transac-
ton came to me through the an
nouncement made by the Globe as
above. No one had spoken or writ
ten to me about said action. had
meyer conferred with Hon. Thos. Will
son upon the subject. There was no
deal whatever between the commit
tees. The Globes statement is posi-
lively true. The peoples party COM
mittee had never received overtures
from the democratic committee or
any one acting in it's behalf in regard
to the matter, your statement to the
contrary notwithstanding. TIE re-
publican state committee could have
improved their own electoral ticket
by placing upon it the other five peo-
pies party nominees, but as they did
not we propose to elect them with
out the aid of either of the old
parties. Respect ully,
THOMAS j. MEIGHEN.

The republican bosses in the east
have sent forth an edict that in Or
der to stand any kind of a showing
this fall there must be an additional
campaign fund raised of 100000.
Think OF it friends, 100000 for
campaign purposes in less than four
weeks. A great part of it is to be
used in one state-New York. What
for? You tell. Certainly, not to
purchase principles for they are not
saleable; but votes are sometimes.
Postmaster Gen. Wanamaker, sub
scribed to this campaign fund $1O,-
900, and there were five other repub-
lican plutes who handed over $780,
600 apiece rather than take the
chances of not being ''in it, financial
ly and politically during the next
four years. One business firm sub
scribed 100000 and another $3.50,
900. Is there any significance in the
fact of these Office holders and money
lordlings contributing thousands,
tens of thousands and hundreds of
thousands Of dollars to perpetuate
and keep in power that same set of
leaders and legislators who are skin
ming the masses, and binding the COM
mon people in bonds of financial
servitude? 1t is a confirmation of
the oft repeated assertion that cor
poratioss. combines and gold stand
ard advocates, are the pets and fa-
vorites of the Harrisonian admins
tration. If it were not go, if these
men did not know that this vast
amount OF cash would be returned to
them with compound interest, think
you they would be so generous?
There is method in their generosity
which the toiling millions are not
conversant with. Think of it, (but
you cannot comprehend it, $4,000
900 to be expended in one section,
most of it, within the next three
weeks, for the purpose OF keeping the
republican party-the enemy OF the
laboring classes, in power. Men why
not vote as you work, for your own
interests?

WhalebOne.

Owing to the discovery and .ex-
tended use of petroleum on the one
hand, and the multiplied ways of
utilizing Whalebonc on the other, the
latter substance has become the most
valuable instead of the least valuable
of the property OF whale fishing.
America has the lions share Of the
whalcbonc industry. The principal
application Of whalebone now is that
of making whips and corsets. Steel
has mostly displaced Whalebone in
umbrellas and parasols.
Some years ago umbrella ribs were
made in France of an excellent imita-
tion of whalebone mot distinguish
able, indeed, till fractured), but it is
no longer heard of. Genuine whale
bone Is often made white and used
with garments of muslins or the like,
not being seen through these SO cas-
lily as the dark sort.
The newest application of whale
bone is that to hats; it is cut into
fine strips and interlaced with straw.
Such hats are very dear. Another
novelty is "whalebone ribbon" For
this, white bone is generally used,
and the shaving is SO thin that Or
binary print can be read through it.
1t is often colored blue, red or green,
and used by saddlers in making
rosettes. Walking sticks of whale
bone are also in good demand.
The exceptionally thick strips cut
for this purpose are rounded by being
drawn through holes in steel plate.
Billiard pads Of whalebone must be
very smooth and cut Of a certain ex-
act thickness Fishing rods are made
of two carefully worked strips Of
whalebone, with thick silk thread
wound round them.
Penholders and other small articles
are made of whalebone at the lathe,
The hair cut off the raw whalebone
was formerly used for brushes, but it
is now mostly replaced by other ma
terials. 1t is largely crisped and
used as a filling for mattresses. This
list by no means eXhaustS the uses of
whalebone, which is continually be-
ing aDDlied in new WAYS

The Origin of the Swing.

The swing, SO dear to children, can
be traced back to the festivals which
took place in Pagan days in honor of
Bacchus, when little figures were hung
on trees, and were supposed to bring
blessings on the ground as they
swayed to and fro rocked by the wind.
The reason of this custom is eX-
planned by the fable of Icarius re-
ceiving Bacchus in Attica, and the
god was SO grateful to him that he
taught him the art Of making wine.
1carius then gave some Of the wine
to his peasants, and, as they became
intoxicated, their friends, thinking
that Icarius had poisoned them,
killed him in their fury. Icarius'
daughter, Erigone, went in search Of
Icarius, and his body was found by
means of his faithful dog Moera, who
kept watch over the spot where the
body was buried.
Erigone in her despair hanged her.

the constellation Virgo. Icarius was
changed into the star Bootes, and the
dog into the star CAMS.

THERE are comparatively few
round-top trunks made row. The
idea was that greater resisting power
could be obtained with least weight
by initiating to some extent the shape
of an egg, which, as we know, will
bear an absurdly great weight, but,
unfortunately, there was no guaran-
tee that the baggage-smasher would
always stand the trunk the right way
up His failure to do this gave num-
berleSs reminders of the fact that no
box is stronger than at its weakest
point, and the damaged sides became
very common. Now most trunks are
made with flat tops, and are so
strong all over that it is very difficult,
evenfor an expert trunk smaSher, to
break one.

Dlscouragin

Sometimes young men are deferred
from entering upon matrimony by
such incidents as the following, which
is Of actual occurrence:
A young man passing through a
crowd in a great dry goods store
found himself side by side with a
timid-looking little man, and exactly
behind a lady. A movement of the
crowd forced the young man to step
upon the hem Of the lady's skirt.
She turned quickly around. with a
furious look, and was evidently about
to address some fierce remark to him.
when a change came over her face
suddenly.
"Oh, | beg your pardon, sir" she
said. Il was going to get very angry.
You see | thought it was my hus-
band"
The timd little man smiled faint
ly. and the young man said to him
self: If wives get angry SO much
more quickly with their husbands
than they do with other men, what
is the use Of being a husband?"

A Puzzle for Biologists.

The members Of the medical pro-
fession in Hamilton are greatly inter
ested In a remarkable surgical opera
tion which took place in the west
end Of the city about a week ago.
1t is said that the case is, in some Of
it's features, so curious as to be I'M
precedented.
A little girl, 3 years OF age, was
troubled with what appeared to be a
tumor rapidly growing out Of the
small of her back. The growth was
soft, and had all the characteristics
of a fatty tumor, excepting that there
was a well-deflned bone Of triangular
shape embedded in it. The supposed
tumor was in the shape OF sugar
loaf, with an indentatiOn at the
crown. 1t was about six inches in
diameter and stood out from the
back fully five inches. 1t was de-
cided to have it removed. Seven city
doctors were present at the operation.
1t was not successful; the child died
thirty-siX hours afterward.
The dissection Of the mysterious
growth and the post-mortem held on
the cEild's body revealed some re-
markable facts. A portion of the
spinal column was wanting, and from
the cavity the growth proceeded.
There was in the supposed tumor
evidence of the beginning Of another
and independent life, documentary
organs having already been formed.
II no operation had been performed
this independent life would have con-
tinued to grow until, no doubt, it
would have developed into a mon
strosity and ultimately caused death.

A possibly profitable field for in
ventors has recently been proposed by
G. w. Baker, of New York. He
found the hot weather Of the sum
mer months extremely oppressive,
and accordingly made a few calcutta
tions which are certainly interesting
Assuming that each person in an
Office building requires 1000 cubic
feet, or l47.2 pounds, of fresh air an
hour, and that this air is at tenn
perature of so degrees, the number
of heat units that must be distracted
in order to reduce the temperature to
70 degrees he finds to be $50 an hour
Now Profs. Denton and Jacobus, of
Stevens Institute, have found that Il
pound Of coal used in making steam
for a fairly efficient refrigerating
machine will produce an actual cool
ing effect equal to that Of sixteen or
forty pounds of ice. Taking the
lower of these limits, sixteen pounds
of ice, which will ABSTRACT about
2,275 heat units while melting, it is
easy to see that one pound Of coal will
accordingly reduce the temperature
Of the supply Of air for one person for
six and one-half hours, under the
above assumptions. Estimating the
price of coal at So a ton and assuming
that the air is to he cooled for ten
hours a day, the cost is, therefore,
but Is cents per thousand people per
hour. This seems a remarkable de-
duction, but the data used in arriv-
ing at it are all given by the best
American experimenters, and manu-
facturers of heating and ventilating
apparatus may find it to their adj
vantage to give the subject fair
trial.
