IN TIE LAST DITCH

Failing thus far in the campaign to
enlist the cooperation and support of
anything like all the Democrats in the
state for the fusion ticket, national and
state, by bullyragging and persuasion,
the Democratic organ of the state, the
Topeka Democrat has changed its tactics
and is now trying TO scare the recalci-
trants into line. Here is its first effort
in that line, which is solemn editorial
declaration as it appeared in Tuesdays
issue:
1.-The Democrat is not an alarmist, but
we intend today to point out few solid
chuncks of facts for the especial diges-
ton of Democrats in Kansas who as yet
have not made up their minds to sup
port the fusion ticket.
"In the first place we desire to state,
that as Democrat and a Cleveland
Democrat, it is our best judgment and
belief that Grover Cleveland will not re-
ceive the majority vote of the electoral
college.
at means that the election of Mr..
Cleveland must be through the house
and that this is the last ditch of Democ-
racy.
IF this last feat is not accomplished,
then in plain, simple and Ineligible
language, we are defeated"
The Democrat unquestionably stated
the case correctly, but nothing short Of
extreme desperation could have extorted
the admission. Being thoroughly
alarmed, it would brighten all others of
its party into support of the scheme in
this state, upon the success of which so
much depends of the outcome of the ma
tional contest.
The large section of Democrats in Kan
sas who have hitherto resisted all efforts
to bring them into support of the COM
bination, preferring to stand aloof, and,
as far as they could by their personal &C.
ton, by non-action, maintain the good
name of their party, holding themselves
in position where they might, perchance,
serve as nucleus for the party to rally
upon after the disaster of November
shall have passed,-these will see in the
Democrats appeal above quoted,
stronger reason for remaining steadfasG
in the position they have taken; will
find sti ong reinforcement to their judg-
ment as to their duty to the party in the
future.
Being Democrats from principle, and
not for the hope of personal reward, they
naturally feel that the party would be
stronger in every way in defeat than it
would be in victory obtained by such
compromising line of policy. From
these considerations the appeal of the
Democratic side of the combine will fail
of its purpose.

aLADsroNE,s HOME RULE BILL.

The English Troy press, by publishing
what purports to be an outline of the
proposed home rule bill, is trying to in
duce MIR. Gladstone to publicly explain
its details. The old statesman, however,
has refused to be caught by this bait; yet
it is well known that the bill has been
prepared, and both Justin Mccarthy and
John Dillon, to whom it has been sub
mitted, profess to be satisfied with it.
| In the current number of the North
American Review there is an article by
Mccarthy which, although it does not
| disclose the features of the bill, Is of In
terest as foreshadowing the position
which the McCarthyites will doubtless
assume when parliament shall have be-
gun tie work of legislation.
Mr.. Mccarthy expresses his full conf
dence in the good faith of Dir. Gladstone,
and believes that the home rule bill will
be passed by the house of commons at
the coming session, which will open in
February next He is confident that the
house of lords will reject the measure,
on the ground that at the general election
majority of the voters of Great Britain
had voted against home rule, and that
Mr.. Gladstone only escaped defeat
through the help Of the Irish National
lists. But if the measure should be re-
jected by the upper house, Mr.. Mccarthy
does not think that Mr.. Gladstone would
resign an appeal to the country. On the
contrary. it is his opinion that the premier
would bring in the bill again at the next
session, and that if the lords should once
more reject it he would create sufficient
number of new Liberal peers to overcome
the Tory majority. 1t will be remem-
bered that it was the threat Of the adop-
ton of such a course which brought
about the passage of the first reform
bill during the reign of William ".
Mr.. Gladstone would also seek to
strengthen his position by the introduce
ton of a bill to abolish plural voting,
and another TO reform the registration
of voters. These measures would be
carried through the house of commons
side by side with the home rule bill; and
when they should all have been passed
he would appeal to the country in gen.
eral election based upon the larger num-
Der of suffrages which he looks for from
the lone man-one-vote" bill. The situa-
ton is delicate one, and all of MIR.
G!adstone's dexterity will be required to
deal with it successfully.

London Postmcn.

No whistles are used by the carriers
in London Instead they use the post
mans double knock, which Is made by
giving two distinct raps on the door.
Every door is provided with knocker,
and the doors are always locked; even
the dwellings of the very poorest Of
London's population are provided with
their knocker and kept closed. There
are no slzy-scrapers of tenements or
fats The houses are generally three
stories, with one family on each floor.
There are, perhaps, few that have
four stories, but they are very few. Of
course this refers 20 dwellings only.
They have large Office buildings, such
as are found in any city in this country.

A SOUTHERN REPUBLIC.
Some or tho Salient Features of the Ar
eentine Confederation


The constitution of the Argentine re-
public is in its features identical to that
of the United States, says Don Juan s.
Attwell, in the New England Magazine.
Nevertheless there are some differences
worthy of note. The president is
elected in precisely the same manner as
in the United States, but cannot be re-
elected, and his term of Office is six
years. He has more power than the
president of the United States as far al
making appointments is concerned,
since he only asks the advice and con-
sent of the senate to appoint diplomatic
ministers, judges, and officers OF the
army and navy above the rank Of
colonel. He fills all other offices at his
own discretion, but all his DEGREES,
proclamations, etc, must be counter
signed by a cabinet minister or else
they are valueless. Thus the constitu-
ton makes the cabinet ministers re-
sponsible for all acts of the president.
The members of the cabinet can an
swer questions and take part in the de
bates of the house and senate, although
JIlcy are IOl AnGAAlOEEo VI wy
nor does an adverse vote on any meas
ure of the government carry with it a
change in the cabinet, as is the case in
France and England and is becoming
the custom in Chilli.
The powers of the Argentine con-
gress are similar TO those vested IN the
congress of the United States, though
somewhat greater. The congress has
the power to legislate for all the prov
inces, debating codes to be applied in
all of them, thus securing uniformity
of legislation. The provinces reserve
the right to elect their own judges, as
well as the other officials that their
local constitution demands. AL federal
and provincial judges are appointed for
life, and cannot be removed unless they
are impeached and condemned

HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
An Indian Potentate Gives It Away to the
Poor Every Year.

Poor Every Year.
The ancient annual ceremony OF
''Talabbaram," or weighing the ma
harajah of Travancore against an
equivalent weight of gold, has come
around again. 1t appears to have been
conducted this year with pomp and
ceremony, for the present maharajah
is Hindoo of the orthodox type, who
aspires to keep up the traditions of the
house, says the London News.
Some months before the ceremony
the government purchased through it's
agent at Alleppey about two thousand
pounds weight Of pure gold, the great
er part of which was converted into
coins for this purpose.
After presenting an elephant and
offerings TO the shrine, the maharajah
entered the building prepared for the
occasion, and having completed the
preliminary ceremonies mounted one
of the scales.
The sword and shield were laid in
his lap; in the other side of the scale
gold coins struck for the occasion were
placed by the first and second princes
till it struck the ground and the ma
harajah rose in the air, the priest mean
while chanting Vedic hymns.
Volleys were fred, the band played
and the troops presented arms. The ma
harajah worshiped at the shrine and
then went to the palace. subsequently
the dewan and other officials distributed
the coins from the fort gates TO about
fifteen Thousand Brahnin2

WORMS FOR BAIT.
They May be Obtained without Digging
for Them.

for Them.
Walter Sawyer, a professional fisher
man, told Globe-Democrat man that
nobody need work at digging worms
for bait unless he is fond of the exer-
else, for they can be procured in almost
any quantity with very little labor
whenever they are needed. The proc
ess is simple. Take strong stick
four or five feet long and sharp at one
end, and go to some locality, such as
the back of barn, where the worms
are sure to be plentiful. Drive the
stick four or Ave inches into the ground
with a hammer or stone, and then be-
gin to twist it with a rotary motion.
Every few minutes hit the top rap to
drive the point further into the ground
and keep on twisting. In five minutes
the wosns will begin crawling out of
their holes, and all you have to do is to
pick them up and put them in your can.
They hear the grinding and think it is
mole after them, and know that only
on the surface are they safe. So they
come ont, those nearest to the sound
making their appearance first with
every evidence of haste and trepidation.
Sometimes they come up for distance
of ten or fifteen feet from the twirling
stick, and in places where they are
plentiful as many as hundred can be
literally scared out of the ground in this
manner. Some people think worm
has no sense, and they may be right in
general, but worm knows that mole
is its deadliest enemy and will come
squirming to the top of the ground any
time it hears mole coming in its di-

What Austin Corbin IL Doing - Per

Austin Corbin's huge game park In
New Hampshire is a success chiefly in

the moose, who, while unlike their
gregarious brethren, go In pairs at GER

also increasing.
While in London two years since Mr..
Corbin bought twenty thousand haw-
thorn trees Four thousand OF these
have been planted this spring. They
are for the purpose of forl-;-'- , hedge
strong enough to prevent the Dui.--o
and other large animals from getting
out. This tree, of which there are two
varieties, the white and black, is used
very extensively for inclosing the game
parks of England and Europe. There

ent, though in future years when the
animals have multiplied beyond the re-
sources of their domain, it is possible
Mr.. Corbin may adopt this method of
thinning them out 1t Is sufficient to
say that the park is not designed for
hunting. Neither is it primarily in
tended for scientific research into the
habits, breeding. etc, OF the various
animals.
The development CT Mr.. Corbin's
game park enterprise is being watched
with decided interest by sportsmen and
naturalists. Success in New Hampshire,
when it shall have been demonstrated
beyond the peradventure of q doubt,
will prompt similar enterprises in other
parts of the country. While much in
terest is being felt in the introduction
of foreign species, Americans are natur-
ally more concerned with the successful
conservation of bands of American big
game-the elk and the antelope and the
buffalo.

A MOSQUITO LEGEND.
An Undertaking OF the Famous Hiawstha
That Longfeilow Didn't Record.

An Undertaking of the Famous Hiawatha
That Longfeiiow Didn't Record.
Hiawatha is the subject of many In
dian legends only small number Of
which are included in Longfellow's bean
tiful poem. The little boy, reading a
book of poetry, who declared angrily to
mosquito singing about his ears: "If
you do not move off, viii fling Hia-
watha at you," spoke more wisely than
he knew, says the American Agricul-
turist.
The Indians say that hundreds Of
years before Columbus came to this
country, great mosquito invaded Fort
Onondaga, which was the capital Of the
lroquois. The mosquito did great mis-
chief to the people, for on whomsoever
it lighted it sucked out his blood and
killed him
The warriors made several expedi-
tons to expel the monster, but failed.
The country was invaded until Hia-
watha, the Holder of the Heavens, was
please to visit the people. When he
was the king at Fort Onondaga, the
mosquito made his appearance, as usual,
tackled the monster. It few so rapidly
he could hardly keep sight of it, but
after few days chase it began to fail.
He hunted it to the borders of the great
lakes, toward the sun setting, and
round the great country. At last he
overlook the monster and killed it near
the salt lake Onondaga, and the blood
became myriads of small mosquitoes.
The Indians place the greatest reli-
ance on the truth of this legend es-
pecially when they visit the swamps
about the great lakes.

WHAT VICTORY WILL MEAN.

The present outlook for Republican
victory in November is indeed good and
is growing better every day. The peo-
pie are thinking as they have not, on
national affairs, before. The only way
to arrive at an intelligent conclusion
upon any matter is by careful investiga-
ton and comparison where it is possible.
Happily for the country and for the in
terests of the people both investigation
and comparison are easily made by all.
Investigation into the present condition
of the government-its functions and
what is being accomplished for the well
fare of the people, aud comparison with
the situation of other people in other
countries not only, but of our own coun-
try with what it was only few years
ago, convince all who make the inquiry
that Improvements upon the plans and
lines of policy that have wrought
such great things for US as a
people could hardly be made, while
to change or disturb the governmental
policy that is working so harmoniouslv
and beneficialy could not but prove
detrimental and might prove disastrous.
