He Hasn't ANY Doubt.

Can Cleveland carry New York? Sen
ator Hill is on record as saying that had
the campaign of fouf years ago been
prolonged fortnight the ex-president
would have won. The senator was
speaking in Albany two days after the
last presidential election and he said;
1.-THE principle of tariff reform has only
met with temporary defeat. Sooner or
later it will ultimately triumph in this
country. President Cleveland and the
Democratic party were right and de-
served to succeed. The argument was
with us and two weeks longer of discus
sion would have given us the victory. "
The discussion has now been going on
for nearly four years, and if the governor
of New York believed what he said then
he cannot have much doubt now con-
corning the triumph of the Democratic
host of next acknowledgements Re
publican.

Two Sides to the Question.

Common people may well ask why the
tariff has everything to do with wages
when they are rising, but nothing to do
with them when they are falling. They
may also be curious to know how it
comes to pass, the Mckinley tariff be-
ing skillfully adjusted to the difference
of wages between this country and
Europe (all Europe, that wages fall
here in spite of that delicate and benev-
client arrangement.-New York Evening

There Must Re Some Fire.

The squirming and the grooming are
always done by those who are hit. The
unanimous howl of the Republican press
that there is no politics in the affair at
Homestead is ample evidence that they
are wringing their hands in grief over
the club which one of the leaders of
their party has put into the hands of
the Democrats.-St. Paul Globe.

Wipe Out McKinleyism.

If the Republican policy of Mckinley.
ism is going to enrich q few men like
Carnegie, who will make such oppres'
sive and murderous use of their power,
it is time to call halt. The only sal
walton for the masses is to march by the
million into the Democratic ranks and
wipe out McKinleyism and the party be-
hind it.-Louisville Couricr-Journal

Protected Carnegie but Not His worl,men

The Republican tariff protected the
Carnegies and their partners against the
competition of imported manufactures
and they became enormously wealthy.
1t failed to protect Carnegie & Co. S
workmen against the competition Of i'm
ported labor and they continued poor.
Dividends increased; wages went down.

AN ADVENTURE IN Fill.
Narrow Escape of the Crew ofa South Sc
Whaler.

Narrow Escape oft Crew of South Sea
Whaler.
Some fifteen years ago / was har-
pooner on New Bedford whaler. We
were out for a four years voyage and
',ad been fairly successful up to the
lime my story opens. We had just fin
shed a season at the Chatham islands in
he South Pacific. and were up among
ihe Fiji islands after humpbaclx whales,
which were scarce, and we spent our
time in making fancy articles, such
rs canes, eocoanut diprers, work boxes,
etc. which we could self in New Yea
land al eXorbitant rates.
One day the captain happened to
want some cocoanut wood for canes.
so he ordered boat cleared away and
the second mate and five men jumped
in and rowed to the nearest island to
procure young tree. | was among
the number and thought it n fine
chance to stretch my legs ashore for
awhile.
We took no arms. as these islands
are many of them uninhabitcd by man
or beast, but we bitterly regretted this
later on.
The land was scarcely two miles
away and not breath of air ruffIed
the surface of the blue waters rs we
sped along. A coral reef cncircled the
little island and it was some time be-
fore we found q narrow opening lust
wide enough to admit of our passing
through Once inside pull of hun
dred yards brought us to the white
beach.
The second mate and myself lit our
pipes and one of the men took Ratchet
and felled n young tree. 1t was soon
cut up into pieces of the right length
and placed in the boat, and then we sat
down in little grove of palm trees n
short distance away and RECALLED our
selves with the green cocoanuts.
After we had eaten our fill we saunt-
cred slowly back toward the boat. We
were about half way when l happened
to glance over my shoulder.
The next instant gave shout, for
not twenty-five yards behind us were
not less than twenty hidcous- looking
Fiji warriors running after us ut full
speed, carrying their huge war clubs
and shields. Their bare feet made no
noise in the sand, and had | not
CHANGED TO look back they would have
been upon us u moment later.
