A set Of tree snakes Oipsas) to be
found in Africa south Asia and north
Australia, devour birds, small beasts or
lizards, but some also feed on eggs.
These tree snakes are singularly beau
fiful in their celebration. More slender,
as their name would imply, are the
whipsnakes Dryophis) which are also
strictly arboreal but differ from the
harmless tree snakes in being nocturnal.

The Democratic state convention at
Grand Rapi Is honorcd this part OF the
state with two candidates on the ticket,
being in this respect, eqnal in considera-
ton to the Republicans. 1t seems to
have dawned upon those lower Michi-
gan politicians that the Upper
Peninsula is an important part of the
state. The following is the ticket put
in nomination:
Governor, Allen b. Morse; lieutenant
governor, James p. Edwards treasurer,
friedrich Marvin; secretary of state,
Charles +. Marskey, auditor general;
Joseph A. Vannier, Attorney-general,
Adolphus A. Ellis; superintendent OF
public instruction, Ferris S. Fitch;
commissioner of state land Office,
George L. Shaffer; member state board
of education James A. Barr; elector-at-
large, eastern district, George l..
Durand, electoral large, western
district, Peter White.

WHAT will the politicians do now
that there is big strike on in Tennes-
see? When the war at Homestead
broke out the Democrats were all
smiles and the Republic ms looked blne.
NV the tables are turned-war has
broken out in Democratic stronghold
and the above conditions are reversed.
The tariff isn't the cause of this lator
trouble, either. 1t oil comes from the
system OF working convicts with free
laborers in the coal mines. About 900
miners attacked the stocltade at Oliver
Springs, Tuesday night, and sent the
convicts to Knoxville. The system OF
working convicts in the mines with free
laborers is disreputable one, and il
ever laborers had reason to complain of
their hardships, the miners OF Tennessee
certainly have.

The government will sell no more
printed stamped envelopes, bill lay
ing passed congress prohibiting the sale
OF such envelopes by the postoflice de-
partment. The government has for
years been furnishing printed envelopes
cheaper than printers conld purchase
the blank stock, and has knocked the
latter class of business men out of hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars. 1t is
not right that government should
compete with any necessary industry Of
the country, and that this matter has at

UNDER the anti Chinese law passed
last May, the government will take
three photographs Of each of tho $780,
COO Chinese residents in the United
States, one cory to be deposited in the
federal archives; one cory to DO held
by tho internal revenue collector; tho
third TO be retained by the photograph
ed Chinaman. No tintypcs but genuine
photos only will be accepted. With
these there must DO the hight, age pro-
per names in English or Chinese and
the color of the eyes. Every Chinaman
must be registered in internal revenue
districts, furnished with n number Of
certificate, aud the same DO written in
"red ink" on his photo. Then he is
lawfully entitled to remain in the Unit
cd States. The Chinese minister at
Washington does not want to remain
in the United States" and is preparing
to leave this country in consequence of
this law. What nnmeasured ridicule,
scorn and contempt the people Of the
United States would have poured out
npon the Chinese people and their

forced a law Of this kind. Detroit

imports to revenue basis. but as re-
duction OF the duty on iron ore wonld
injuriously affect the chief industry OF
this district, Democratic candidates and
politicians are just little wary OF
specific issues. Now il the principle
is good in one case it shoull be good
IN all, and If it is wrong in its applca-
lion to lion mining it would be just as
wrong IN its application to other pro-
tected industries. The reduction of
tariff duties on other protected com.
modities might benefit Upper Pcninsu a
consumers but it would prove disastrous
to some other community in the
United States. TO advocate such n
policy is unworthy Of a statesman, and
stampa its advocate demagoguc. AS
we understand il the chief issue between
the two great parties is tariff for
revenue sufficient for the needs Of
n government, economically nd
ministcred, or tariff for protection.
II the former principle is right then
the tariff should be reduced to n
revenue basis without regard to the
effect Of such reduction upon particular
communities. We will not pretend to
say which principle would
prove the more beneficial to tho people
Of the United States as whole, but il
is certainly always right for politicians
TO be consistent il they can.

a DEADLY SNAKE.
The Extremely Venomous Nature of n
CObra's Bite.

\ vivid notion of the intensity of a
cobra's venom Il given 10y the eXpe-
riencc of DIR. Francis r. auckland. SAYS
the Washington Post. He put rat into
a cage with a snake of that spScies, and
it was killed after pluckY fight. Upon
examining the skin of the dead rat i'm
aediately afterward, he found two very
minute punctures, like small needle
holes, where the fangs of the cobra had
entered. The flesh seemed already to
have actually mortified in the neighbor-
hood Of the wound. Anxious to find
out If the skin was affected, DIR Buck
land scraped away the hair FROM il with
his finger nail. Then he threw the rat
away and started homeward. He had
not walked one hundred yards before,
all of a sudden, he felt as if somebody
had come behind him and struck him a
severe blow ON the head and neck. At
the same time he experienced "A most
acute pain and sense of oppression
about the chest. He knew instantly
that he was poisoned, and so lost no
time in seeking an apothecary shop,
where he was dosed with brandy and
ammonia. He came very near diving
l ndoubtedlya "A small quantity of venom
had made its way into his system
through a little cut beneath his nail.
where IT had been separated slightly
from the flesh in the process of cleaning
the nail with pcnknife little time
before.
