Australia the Land of Reptiles.

Australia is great reptile coun-
try" said an itinerant Scotchman
recently. 81 have travelled in al
most every country, and | have
never found land that went ahead
of Australia for snakes, lizards and
frogs. There are some 95 species
of snakes in the country, of which
AZ are venomous and II positively
dangerous. There are 40 or so
different kinds of frogs, embracing
every variety, from the common
tree-frog to large green variety
with blue eyes and II gold back,
making a wonderful showing of
color as he hops about. There are
probably 40 kinds of lizards, of
which 20 belong to a class known as
night-lizards, many of which hiber-
nate. One species can utter "A cry
when hurt or alarmed, and another
kind, the frilled lizard, can lift its
forelegs and hop about like kang-
aroo. The monitor, or fork-tongued
lizard, burrows in the earth, climbs
and swings, and grows to length
of 8 or 10 feet. The crocodiles of
Queensland, however, grow to a
length sometimes of 40 feet. Some
of the Australian species of lizards
can change but from gray or red.
All kinds of turtles are caught !

feet in length"

GOV. M'KlNLEYS SPEECH.
The Buckeye Statesman Talks on His
Favorite Subject.

The Buckeye Statesman Talks on His
FaVorite Subject.
The speech of the evening was that of
Governor Mckinley to the toast: ''Protec-
tion the National Policy" He said:
There is not Democrat or a Republican who
would blot out page of the history of the Re-
publican party if he could. When the people
IN lSSS wanted the tariff revised they called the
hepubIlcan party to power to do it, and IL was
done to stay. The Democrats will not be able
to change page Of the tariff bill in ten years.
and IN that time the Republicans will be pre-
pared to make a revision. 1t will not be
changed IN twenty-five years on the plan
marked out by the present congress. Democrats
want 10 revise il item by item. Morrison tried
that in 1888, and his face has not been seen in
the house since Mills tried il and lost the
speakership. Grover Cleveland in 1855 went
shearing that sheep and he came back shoru.
Says Protection Always Wins.
There has never been a square contest be
tween protection and free trade where protec
ton has not won. The Democrats want wool
on the free list because il will iniure Rannh-
hcan Michigan, but they want to give protec-
tlon TO the Democratic planters of Louisiana
This plan cannot prevail, for as Burke said of
liberty. IT must he for all or It must be for
none. There is not a man. woman or child
IN Michigan who has felt the burden of the
protective tariff. and not one who has not ex-
perlenced the blessings of It. The tariff re-
formers say that they want free trade so they
can compete with the markets of the world
The people of this country do not propose to
compete with the world until they can do 80
on equal conditions.
Conditions of Competition.
When the European countries bring their
social condition and the condition of their la
boring classes up TO ours we will meet them in
the markets of the world. and il will be the
survival of the fittest. Let II go forth from
here tonight to be rung in the campaign now
opening. that will not bring the condition
of our laboring classes down to the level of the
European Iaborers The Republicans lost the
campaign Of 1880 because the people believed
the prophets; ihe prophets, though, are now
out of job. Their talk about the evils that
would follow account of the Mckinley bill
has been proven TO be merely campaign talk
In the fifteen months which have elapsed
since the Mckinley bin became a law the
foreign commerce of the United States has
been greater than during any previous fifteen
months in the history of the country.
Every Line in the Bill Patriotic.
There is net a page, no. not line in this bill
which is not patriotic, and which is not dedi-
Gated TO the welfare Of every American home
and every American boy and girl. There is no
better evidence of the blessings of protection
than in Dstroit al pearl button factory which

DETROIT, Feb. 23-The annual banquet
OF the Michigan club last evening attracted
host of Republicans of greater or less
fame from this and adjoining states.
W hile the Democrats were making the
most of Cleveland at Ann Arbor yesterday
and getting ready to have great time
with him here today the Republicans were
growing enthusiastic over Governor Nc.

Perkins, of Kansas: and J. Sloat Fassett,
of New York. During the afternoon re-
ccption in honor of the distinguished
people was held at General Alger's home.
Tables for 900 Banqueters.
When the doors of the Detroit rink were
opened at 6 o'clock the scene before those
who entered was magnificent. Tables had
been set in the big area for 1000 guests,
while as many more spectators were ac-
commodated in the galleries. The rink
had been beautifully decorated with the
national colors and natural flowers, and
when the banqueters arrived every availa-

THE MOURNER IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.

The nations attention is once more
arrested by a spectacle of surprising
sadness. Death has again thrust his
skeleton visage between the public
view and a public crisis. 1t is not
BLAINE that we see today, broken, hu-
inflated and undone, bowling his gray
head above the stiffening corSe of his
boy; it is the president himself, spell
bound with grief, bending above the
pulselesS clay of his beloved wife.
Amid such tragic surroundings, how
hollow and futile seem the promptings
OF ambition, how shallow the pomp and
circumstance of power. What thrill of
national acclaim can give back to
BLAINE the child of his heart? What
pride OF place can restore to BENJAMIN
HARRISON the wife of his bosom? Is it
pot all vain and empty and profitless?
No, not all. In our sorrows human
sympathy is precious and comforting.
Not Invariably, but certainly in the case
or these two men. greatness of achieve
ment and position inspires a univer-
salty of sympathy. To the president
this sympathy is extended, as it was to
his former chief secretary, with a ma
tlonal. aye. a Worldwide, spontaneity.
1t penetrateS gently, pervadlngly
through even the gloom of this hour,
and the m0urner in the White house
must feel its soothing influence.
