THE HUMoRs OF 1T.

The humors Of the Chilian i'm
brogho are now beginning to crop out,
says the S. r. Bulletin. The prospect
Of settlement on an honorable basis
has set the Democratic politicians hard
az work. The object is to get SOME
thing out of it that can be turaed to
party account. The first effort has
been to prove that the president had
Chilrs reply in his hand when he sent
his message to congress The purpose
is to make it appear that he was play
ing from stocked hand. The latest
message of the president to congress
disposes of that nonsense.
There Is also grand scheme TO set
.he president and Secretary Blaine by
the ears by making it appear that the
latter was in favor of pursuing more
conservative course than seemed right
to the president. The fact which
seems now to be assured, that the ad-
ministration has conducted very
acrimonious dispute with Chill to q
successful termination, with skill and
frmness, it is thought may have some
effect on the next presidential cam
paign. 1t will, therefore, be Demo
cratic policy to belittle and distort the
affair; to diminish the credit that will
naturally be attached to it; breed dis
cord if possible among the chief actors
and befoul current history.
1t is fortunate that this mean par
tisanshlp is only manifesting itself now
when there is prospect of a fair set
Element. If it had made itself promi-
nent while the negotiations were in
progress, the Chilians might have
been encouraged to remain defiant.
But the old copperhead faction did not
feel like assuming that serious respon-
sibility. The general determination
to uphold the honor of the country, in
which the southern members were con-
spicuous, did much toward bringing
the Chilian statesmen to knowledge
of the actual facts. Bnt now that the
horizon is clearing up, there is an op-
portunlty for the old copperheads and
young mugwumps to muddy the
waters.

There is quite discussion in Re

There is quite discussion in Re-
publican papers regarding an available
candidate in November, and different
persons have been named. The party
is one of principles, and whoever Is
nominated will receive the full sup
port of Republicans. Protection must
be protected, and the only way to do
this is to support the Republican
party and its candidate for president.
those who do not believe in support
ing home industries will favor the
opposition or Democratic party.
Whether the candidate for president
is Harrison. Alger, Mckinley or Lin
coin, Republicans must understand
that the welfare of the country is at
stake, and patriotism demands un-
swerving allegiance to the American
policy of protection.

SPOKANE, Feb. ia special says the
opening of an enormous dancehouse at
Sand Point, Idaho, resulted IN riot and
bloodshed last night. Three hundred
railroaders, cattlemen and miners were

men, entered and closed the house, and

in the Northwest are penned up in a
stockade corral and guarded by deputy

the French board of trade shows that
during January imports increased 1Sl,
$4,000 francs, and that exports increased
50, 324.000 francs, rs compared with
those OF the corresponding month last
year. The larger increase in imports is
attributed to the fact that merchants

Public improvements can expect
little or nothing from the picsyune
lower house of congress, and liberal
appropriations are very much needed.
The amount OF money necessary to
carry on the work at the Locks is
nearly exhausted, and work has been
stopped. If Democrats would con-
slider the peoples interests, during this
delightful. weather, money would
be appropriated to carry on the
work as rapidly as possible, SO that it
would be near completion before the
June freshet completely hlnders all
operations in the canal.

LONDON, Feb. I3.-The Scotland Yard
detectives have been able to trace the fugitive
Journalist, Mr.. Hurlburt, defendant in the
Gladys-Evelyns breach-of-promise case, to a
little-known part of Mexico, and the officers
are now working on his trial and keeping the
London Office thoroughly posted as to his

Hurlburt placed one of the great law officers
of the crown by engaging his services in the

forward as to mysterious Wilfred Murray

Portland is making an herculean
effort to secure an appropriation from
congress to deepen the channel to As
toria, and if successful this will work
against the appropriation for the Cas-
cade locks and the ship-railway. The
Inland Empire is interested in an open
river, and when the obstructions to
navigation in the Columbia are re-
moved, it will be more convenient for
producers to float their gram to As
toria than up the Willamette TO Port

What Has Caused It.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE report of the
British legation in Paris on the trade Of
France, made public today, attributes
the large increase in the importations of
raw materials and the great shrinkage
in. exports partly TO the effects of the
American Mckinley bill. The report
quotes from Lalande, great authority
N the wine trade, declaring that the Nc
Kinley bill has caused decrease in the
exports of wine to the United States, but
expressing the hope that France and the
United States will come to terms regard
ing commercial arrangement.

1t is striking fact that any moye-
ment against Hill should be assumed
to be movement in favor of Cleve-
land. This, says the New York
Times, is very complimentary to Mr..
Cleveland. For several years no
Democrat has been able TO exalt the
cardinal virtues or to depounce the
deadly sins without being suspected of
mugwump tendencies. A mugwump
is a man who votes with the Demo
Gratis when he thinks they are right
and with the Republicans when he
thinks they are right. A decent
Democrat is man who adapts to his
party the old toast about our country:
"May she always be- right, but right
or wrong, our country" Now the
promoters of the revolt against Hill
are all Democrats of this kind. Not
one of them can be accused of indie
pendent voting in state or national
affairs. The showing they are now
making is. the outcome of years of
suppressed but increasing disgust.
Whoever is pushing a Hill boom
outside of New York is al
ready notified, and will be noti-
fed yet more impressively that
the nomination of Hill for the presi-
dency would be opposed not only by
ali the Republicans and by all the in
dependent voters In the state of New
York, but by all the decent Democrats
also. Whoever thinks that he could
carry the state notwithstanding must
have an extravagant trust in the num-
ber of the indecent Democrats and in
the baser elements of human nature.

Reversible SNAKES III indIa.

A snake not often heard Of, at least in
America, is the liver colored snake with
two heads, or perhaps they should be
called mouths, though it does not have
two mouths at the same time. They are
reversible mouths, occupying the opposite
end every six months. 1t lies with the
two ends crossed IN each other, as with
folded hands. Every six months the
change of the seasons reverses the func.
tions Of the two ends, the head becoming
the tail and the tail becoming the head.
The mouth at one end heals or closes up
all but small opening, while the oppo.
site end becomes the mouth for the next
six months.
A friend of mine in India who told
me about this remarkable snake said no
refused for a long time to believe that
the functions of the two ends were re-
versed every six months, but one day he

Cooking With Ice for Fuel,

The generally accepted theory of the
cooking of meat relates to the application
of heat; but DR.. Sawiczeyosky has called
attention to the fact that almo,t precisely
the same chemical and physical changes

animal flesh to extreme cold. Indeed, the
sensation experienced by touching freez.
ing mercury is very much that OF a severe
burn.

When tho air around us becomes con.

makes it ascend In the tube; then the
mercury is said to rise. When the air

Therefore every change Of height OF the

Further, this change In volume tells
no less upon the air inside our cases and

the air around expands into larger
volume, and the air inside the cupboard
also expands and forces itself out at every
minute crevice. When the barometer
rises again, the air inside the cupboard,
as we'll as outside, condenses aud shriuks
and air is forced back into the cupboard
to equalize the pressure, and along with
the air in goes the dust. The smaller
the crevice the stronger the jet of air,
the farther goes the dirt Witness the
