EDITOR REPUBLICAN.-Ever since
the republican party come into pow
er this county has progressed III
every branch of business, notwith-
standing the war with all The calami-
ties. 1t put down the mighty re-
bcllon, established sound mona
tary basis, abolished slavery, passed
a protective tariff law, which pro
tects The manufacturers and his en-
ployes against foreign competition,
and hundreds of other good things
have been done by the republican
party. While all this time the
democrat party have been trying to
retard and battle this great progress
made by the republican party for
thirty years, and to~day they are in
the same old rut, advocating free
trade, state banks and numerous
other dead and rotten things In
all of my past experience | have
never known Of as prosperous a
Presidential year as this one. All
branches Of business are running in
full blast and why is it ? 1t is the
result of the labors of the repubi-
can party, and their good manages
ment in public affairs. How man
can be honest with himself and vote
for Cleveland, | can't see. He IS
no friend to the protective tarifl-he
is no friend to the old soldier, he
is no friend to anything that is for
the advancement of the nation, in
fact he is not even friend TO him
self, his acts have shown this in the
past. While Harrison is in hearty
accord with the protective tariff, and
he has befriended thousands of old
and decrept soldiers, both democrat
and republican, by his signature,
and if there is any man that should
vote for him, it should be the demo-
cratic soldier, because he never re-
ceivcd, nor never would have re-
ceived pension under Cleveland,
for he always vetoed the pension
bills no matter how just they were.
(But Harrison will be President, all
the same).

Is this political campaign
Things are so drcadfully dull. We
scarcely hear a whisper in regard to
national affairs, and regarding local
candidates, there are no campaign
lies except the old ones. Seems as
though things ought to liven up a
little.-Dushore ReUieqc.
The significance of this little
squib is plain to the reader That
Newell is for Lull the monopoly
candidate there can be no doubt.
He has free pass on the L. V. and
must make a showing for the mo-
nopoly people somewhere. 1t is as
we predicted before the democratic
convention-that the Recie,o would
do the booming for Lull. Republi-
cans should by all means give this
paper their support.

One Must Be Careful.

One must be careful about using the
English language in this day Of literal
meaning, wien the veriest neophyte Of
a society writer dare not use the phrases,
"The bride entered the church on the
arm of her father" or "His eyes fol-
lowed her around the ROOM" because
some humorist has illustrated them real
istically.
This was recalled to my mind yester-
day when entered a Woodward avenue
book store, where a grave gentleman pre-
sides, and asked him if he had a 'pretty
child's book"
"Blond or brunettel" he inquired.
"Oh.hv stammered. "Why do you
ask that?"

monize, or you would not have told me

A singular Method Of Treatment.

A peculiar case of poisoning by
physician was that of DR.. Stephen Eot-
vos, in Hungary, about twenty-five
years ago. Eotvos undertook to hasten
the death Of patients whose cases he
considered hopeless by putting them out
Of their misery, as he termed it, with
fatal drugs. He encountered no opposi-
ton to his peculiar methods of benevo-
lence while he practiced them on people
of no particular standing. But when
the doctor hastened the death Of q well
known land proprietor named Szlavy,
who was slowly dying Of cancer, the
relatives Of the dead man presented a
violent protest and demanded the prose-
cution Of Eotvos.
The physician declared ON trial he was
actuated by humane motives and had
merely eased the journey Of his victims
to the inevitable goal. This defense was
not accepted by the court. Eotvos was
acquitted of malice, but found guilty of
homicide without malice, and sentenced
to long term Of imprisonment. Pitts.

A curiou. Property of water.

Many simple experiments show that
the surface of water possesses a property
which causes it to resist the passage of
bodies either from above or below. This
is true not only of soapy water. but Of
the clearest and purest water as well. A
sheet of fine gauze tends to float, because
It's weight being widely distributed each
Of the numerous separate wires is re-
sisted by the surface film so that the
water cannot readily pass through the
meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact in
many interesting ways. Some water
plants, whose leaves float on the water,
have very simple contrivance to keep
the upper surfaces Of the leaves dry.
This consists of a great number of mi
mute hairs covering the tops Of the
leaves. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves ara
forced down beneath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats set
afioat on the water are kept from sink-
ing and from being upset through this
same principle. The tiny eggs have
their points all upward, and they are
glued together so closely that, while
there is open space all around the point
of each egg, yet the width Of these
spaces is SO slight that water cannot
readily pass through. You may agaiI
and again upset such an egg raft, but il
will right itself every time and the
upper surface will remain dry.-Youth'i

English and Other Languages.

As a language English Is certainly d.

the use of polite paraphrase. We re-

senhores the passengers were prayed not
to-" etc. After all the meaning was
much the same, and the English version
had at least the advantage Of being the
shortest.
1t is this peremptory tone which has
perhaps given English its place in the
proverbial classification as the language

There is q strong desire on the part of
young Japanese to come to the United
States to acquire or perfect themselves
in the English language and complete
their education. The welcome given to
earlier students has led many who have
entirely insufficient means to undertake
the journey--to come, indeed, with
scarcely more than enough to pay their
passage to this country. Others, better
provided for, have no idea Of the in
creased cost Of living here, while many
hope to receive aid from persons who
may become interested in them here OF
to find some employment while they are
carrying on their studies.
The practical results are not always
fortunate, and many Of the students re.
ferred to would be better off at home.
The reputation of having been educated
in Europe or America has certain
value at present in Japan, however, and
the Japanese students are, almost with
out single exception, q credit to theil
native country.-Philadslphia Ledger.

Testing D,Anonds i'm India.

The Hindoos distinguish diamonds ac-
cording to their color. The white rank
first and are called Brahmins, the yell
low are known as Kshatris. the dusky
as Vaishyas and the fawed stones as
Sudras. The diamond dealers are chiefly
Marwarees-a race who are the chief
bankers and money lenders in India.
These men are perfectly acquainted
with the phosphorescent and electric
qualities of the diamond, and they are
also aware of the extreme uniformity of
its specific gravity.
A boiling solution of some salt Of zinc.
called by the natives "Tutenagum bas-
PAM" which solution has specific
gravity of 3.5, is used for the weight
test. Into this solution the stones sub.
mitted for examination are thrown.
Those that float are rejected as not be-
ing diamonds, the Marwarees knowing
that the diamond has specific gravity
Of 3.52.
The stones that sink are then exam
ined. The larger pieces are rubbed with
silk handkerchief to excite their cleo
trio properties and held near light sub
stances, as small pieces of tissue paper,
Diamonds thus rubbed readily attract
light substances. The phosphorescent
qualities are brought out by exposure Of
the stones to sunlight, and then taking
them into dark room, where the dia
monds give of cleaning light.
Cut stones which have been tested a!

Kstelling q Good Joke.

A Philadelphia drummer sauntered
into clothing store In Elmira the other
day, and finding the proprietor busy
with customer he leaned against pile
of clothing and waited. Suddenly the
pile toppled over and fell to the floor.
The drummer hastily began to rear.
range the goods, remarking as he did
SO, "Well, Mr.. Smith, you see clothing
has had quite fall" As he kept on
working he added, "And my business is
picking up"
Commonplace as the remark was, 1t
made q great impression ur d an Irish
man who happened to be standing by.
'Begorra," he muttered. "thot's a
foine joke. Oi'll get thot of ON some
one before night" Still with the Joke
fresh In his mind he sauntered over to
Levy's dry goods store, chuckling as he
went along.
"Aha. Mr.. Levy. it's foine joke O
do be after hearing" he said. "Wai
till OF show yez." Seizing pile of fin,
dress goods he threw them on the floor
which was none Of the cleanest.
Levy became indignant. "Vot's del

"No; it's de joke Ord be after illus

Suddenly he cried, "Be jabbers, OF he

With vigorous push he sent tn
goods to the floor second time, crying
"Oi hev it! Clothing's chaper than

Pat wondered why he was ejecte
with such rapidity, and Levy hasn't see

A Wealthy Squatter.

James Tyson: the richest squatter in
Australia, was originally coachman.
He saved little money and invested
in stock, which turning out profitably
left him the possessor of $500. With
this sum, not large one for the pur-
pose, he began grazing, and as he
worked hard and scarcely spent any
thing in few years he counted his
wealth by many figures. He started on
fifteen shillings week, and today he is
worth over e8,O00,0O0 and owns more
sheep and cattle than any other two
squatters in the world.--London Tit

The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1892-02-23

The Russian serfs and the southern slaves
were freed about the same time.
In Russia, as in the south, the freedmen
had a fertile soil. The government estab-
lished agricultural schools. and education and
industry were encouraged by law.
After the lapse of generation we find the
southern cX-slavcs rapidly accommodating
property and coming to the front as an edu-
Gated, self-supporting class. On the other
hand, we see a. 900, 900 Russian eX-serfs On
the verge Of starvation, ripe for revolt or
suicide
The Princess Engalitchoff, of Russia, who
is now in Boston, explains why there is a
famine in her country. She says that 1t is
largely due to the carelessness Of the former
serfs and proprietors, and is the outcome Of
ignorance in regard to the methods Of keep
ing the land under cultivation. After the
serfs had been freed they continued to draw
crops from the soil without doing anything
to replenish it. The land was impover-
ished, and as the old proprietors were no
longer able to keep up large estates, they
were cut up into small farms. The country
was stripped Of timber so that rainfalls be-
came floods after long droughts, and the soil
was subjected to deep frosts.
Here in the south the situation has been
and is very different. Our large estates
have been divided, but from the emaucipa-
ton of the slaves down to the present time
their former masters have stood by them,
taxing themselves for their education and
protection, and sparing no pains to direct
and keep them in the right path. Sternly
resisting the republican programme of a
bayonet behind every black ballot, We have
presented to the world the brighter spectacle
of white benefactor behind every black
toiler!
The Russian masters dropped their ex
serfs, and left them to the government ard
their ownj efforts. The southern masters
continued the steadfast friends Of their old
servants.
But one great mistake the south shares
in common with southern Russia. We have
allowed the wholesale destruction of our
forests, and something similar to the de-

a Voice from the West.

The discussion of the financial relief dc
manded by the farmers and the masses gem
orally is developing a very strong sentiment
in favor Of new money system.
The advocates Of the subtIeasury, land
loans, state banking and remodelcd system
Of national banks may be disappointed in
some matters of detail connected with the
plan that viii finally be adopted, but their
vigorous crusade promises to materially i'm
prove the financial situation.
we have at various times given an outline
OF the various reforms proposed, and an
other scheme now presents its claims for
consideration. Mr.. r. NJ. Widney, president
of the University bank, OF Los Angeles,
suggests national money system, embrace
ing gold, silver and paper, based on the
whole wealth of the nation, being an issue
of about two cents On the dollar of our ma
tional wealth, secured by constitutional
amendment
Mr.. Widncy shows in his ably written
pamphlet that in this country the demand
for money is increasing, while the supply is
decreasing. We must increase our circuat-
ing medium to meet the wants of business
or see business cut off until it is within the
compass of our present circulation.
The remedy proposed is to adopt and issue
money under the following constitutional
amendment:
Section /. A national currency circulating
medium shall be issued to the amount of $50 per
capita, as shown by the census of 1890, and by
each succeeding census, for the proper redemp-
tion of which, when required, the resources, the
faith and the property Of the nation arc pledged
for which redemption congress, by a two-thrds
vote of each house. may provide for the collection
of government revenues and taxes in gold and sill
yer coin.
Sec. 2. Said currency, with gold and silver coin
of the United States, of present weight and fine
ness, the gold dollar being the standard or unit of
values, and such currency as may DO issued in
lieu of gold and silver coin, or bullion held ex-
clusivcly for exchange for currency, shall consti
tute the only legal money of these United States
and shall be received at par i'll satisfaction of all
obligations for the payment of money within the
jurisdiction of these United States. Said gold
and silver coin and currency shall be exchange
able at par value.
Sec. 3. Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation, but shall
not have power to inCrease decrease said issue;
provided. that after the issue OF 1900 congress
may, by o-thr(is vote of each house, reduce
the additional issue per capita at any census.
This would add $50 per capita to our cur
rency, giving us a volume of about forty
dollars per capita, so less than the French
have at present. Undoubtedly, this money
would be as good as gold, being based on
