The Pennsylvania Democratic conven-
ton afforded more convincing evidence
that Hill has ceased to be a possibility as
a Presidential candidate. He was not
even accorded decent treatment, his
name being received with storm of
misses. But though Hill has ceased to
have any chance of securing the Demo-
ratio nomination, his capacity for doing
mischief to the person who does get it,
especially if that person is Grover Cleve-
land, still remains and is likely to re-
main until after the Presidential cleo
ton. In the pivotal State of New York
he has strong following, following
large enough to hold the balance of
power and to turn the electoral vote of
the Stat away from his party. The
power to knife is his; only the DISPOSE
ton to use it is needed to make it effec-
tive. The treatment he is receiving in
the State conventions is well calculated
to create the disposition if it does not
already exist.

The Geary anti-Chinese bill has been
sat upon by the Senate committee on
foreign affairs which has substituted for
it bill extending the present law for a
period of ten years. There is little room
for doubt that the Senate will ratify the
report of the committee and consign the
Geary bill to the oblivion which it richly
deserves.

FRIDAY, APRIL Is.

Gen. Ayers Presidential boom is now
fairly launched, his own State having
adopted resolutions in his favor yester-
day. 1t has plenty of room to grow in.
The Portland daily press., 1892-04-15

The Augusta correspondent of the Ar
gus learns that it has been decided that all
the present candidates for the Republican
nomination in the Third district shall be
thrown overheard at the proper time,
and Mr.. Herbert NJ. Heath of Augusta
nominated. 1t would be interesting to
know who has decided it. Only few
delegates have been elected to the con-
vention, SO that the disposition of the
men who will compose that body cannot
possibly be known at the present time.
The Argus's story is undoubtedly what
is popularity known as a ''fake.''

Animal Instinct.

Nature gives an interesting account OF
an incident illustrative of animal instinct
which recently took place in Scotland,
The supply ofwater from neighborir & lake
had been interfered with for ten successive
nights. On an examination being made
each morning number of eels were dis
covered in the sluice, where the water was
ten feet deep. Thirty altogether were
found, all females One of these, thirty
two inches long and about two pounds in
weight, was examined. The ovary, which
was about twelve inches long in stu, and
about thirty inches long when unraveled,
was calculated to coatain l0,077, 900 eggs in
various stages of development. There is
little doubt that these cells formed part
of band migrating to the sea (the smaller
specimens escaping and the larger being
caught), and judging from the condition Of
the ovary it would appear that they were
impelled by tie instinct of reproduction.

Office of one of our cotton mills the other
day and asked the genial agent for job at
bookkeeping. He said he'd farmed it from
boy up, and that he had decided to try
something easier the rest of his days. He
said, too, that he had not been educated in
keeping books, but he was confident he
could do it. The agent who tells of the

In buying baking powders, as well as any

your money. If another brand is urged upon
you in place of the Royal, bear in mind that
it has from ~ to SO per cent. less leavening
strength than the Royal, as shown by the Off

If you buy low class powder, see that you

Jones injuries were quite severe. A

away and in turning a corner he was
thrown out aud struck fence with
great force. His left collar bone and
several Of the upper ribs on the left
side ale broked The peculiar combi-
nation is unfortunate, for to make a
proper setting OF the collar bone the
shoulder has to be thrown out by
placing a roll under the arm which in
this case is impossible on account OF
the broken ribs.
Mr. Jones is vigorous man for his
age and will no doubt come out all
right, though his injuries are severe
The latest news received is that he
is doing as we'll as possible under the
