An old New Yorker who takes snuff

using had caused inflammatory symp-

examined the sample of snuff which
was sent with the complaint and dis

the trade rs chrome yellow" had been
mixed with the snuff to brighten it.

did not notice that Ryan had any pack
ages with him.
The United States Express COMPANY

The Gillichthys Is n Fish with n Largo

1.-Two curious little fishes live in the
mud" said Prof. Theodore Gill to a
Washington Star man lately. "Onc of
them was only discovered recently. 1t

My namcsake is sort of goby, from
Six to eight inches long. It digs hole
in the muddy bank of tidal creek, at
the bottom of which it sits and medi-
tatcs, being kept wet by the pcrcolation
OF the water through the surrounding
mud. 1t feeds on small crustaceans
largely. One remarkable think about
the Gillichthys is its mouth, which is
about one-third the length of its body.
1t is good to eat, and the Cinnamon in

The other mud fish is native of the
South Sea islands, and is found on other
tropical coasts. 1t hops about on the
mud banks when the tide is out, being
apparently as much at home on land as
In the water. People call it the Jump
ing fish.
Sometimes it will climb the roots of
trees on the shore, making its way up
ward by means of it's pcctoral fins. Often
it occupies the holes made by fiddler
crabs. When it is hopping about on the
mud it is usually in pursuit of crusta-

WHY CLEvELAND's LETTER FALLS
FLAT.

Chairman Carter, of the Republican ma
tional committee, says that in 1884 Mr..
Cleveland ran for the presidency, and was
elected on . platform which stated that
the Democratic party simply desired to re-
form the tariff, and that in reforming it
they did not intend to disturb existing in
dustries. They said that they were aware
Of the fact that many industries depended
on protective tariff, and that all changes
OF existing law must take note Of the inter-
ests Of the labor and capital involved. Mr..
Randall stumped New York, saving that il
meant protection: Mr.. Hurd stumped
Ohio, saying that it meant free trade: Mr..
Mills stumped Texas, saying that 1t was
exactly in line with the views Of the star
eyed goddess Of reform.
But the Democratic convention Of 1902,
when this identical plank was presented
TO It BY It's platform committee. over
whelmingly threw it out, and by vote Of
$40 TO 81 the convention declared itself
for free trade, pure and simple. To have
regard for any other purpose, It said, in
devising tariff than the one purpose Of
raising revenue was unconstitutional.
Under this clear statement of fact Mr..
Cleveland's letter falls fat when read and
digested by intelligent protectionists.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANs.

The Pierce county primaries have been
held and the Republican convention will
soon be a thing of the past. It is
sincerely to be hoped that when the con-
vention has been held the Republicans Of
Pierce will settle down to the work of the
campaign and do their part toward
achieving the victory which the Repub-
lican party is certain to win in this state.
fractional quarrels should be laid aside
until the common enemy has been routed.
The Posr-ISrELLIaEScKR sincerely hopes
that the hearty support of the Republicans
of Pierce county will be given to the can
didates nopinsted by its county conven-
ton, and to the candidates who will be
nominated for the legislature. This sup
port should be given regardless Of the atti.
tude which such candidates may assume
In regard to the senatorial cleo
ton which takes place next January.
The duty now is to win q Repub-
licsn victory. and any man who has
been fairly nominated by a Republican
convention. and who is personally worthy
of the Office to which he aspires. Is entitled
so. and should receive. the support of all
who profess TO be Republicans.
Pierce county is a Republican county,
and it should keep its place in the line
next November as il has kept 1t in the past,

facturer and importer Ct free raw material,
but il would be disastrous to the West,
which would be compelled to accept for.
eign prices in New York for their raw
materials, while paying high tariff prices
for finished goods.
Four years ago when the Democracy
stood on the Mills bill platform. this argu-
ment against free raw materials and pro-
lection for finished goods was SO vigorous
ly and successfully pressed home at the
West that the rainbow" campaign for
Republican votes at the West resulted in
complete failure. OF the consequences
of this New England Democratic tariff
reform" which proposes to rob the West
ern producer for the enrichment of the
Eastern manufacturer hy giving the East
ern manufacturer free raw materials and
protection for his finished goods, the Port
land Oregonian says:
II would give the Atlantic coast . monopoly
OF manufactures by making foreign countries
the cheapest market for rbw materials, and re-
dnce the interior to a sort of colonial depend
ence. permitted to mine coal and iron and grow
wool at starvation prices, and to grow corn anu
cattle to feed the thriving industrial, population
OF New England and the Middle states.
The Democrats hope 10 carry Wisconsin for
Cleveland, but Wisconsin ID hardly likely 10
vote TO overthrow legislation whose effect Is to
remove establishments employing thousands Of
iaborers from New Haven to Milwaukee
What is true OF Wisconsin is true OF the
whole Northwest, the whole country west
OF the Allegheniea, for that matter. The
New England tariff idea has only TO be
understood in the West to be repndiated.
There are just two schemes of tariff legislation
which will DO permanently acceptable to the
homogeneous and dominant population west OF
the Allegheny mountains. One IL an equitable
tariff that protects all interests and localities
alike, the West with the East, the farmer and
miner with the manufacturer. The other Is dat
tariff for revenue, which protects no interest OF
locality at the expense of any other, and com.
pels each TO play its own part in competition
with the rest of the world. The first is what We
have now. The second is what our New England
friends will surely get as sequel TO the success
OF theI effort for free trade Ia raw materials
