Natures Secret Secured.

DANBURY, CONN.,, November .3.-Con-
necticutt has a new prophet, James j:
Waugh, Of Norwalk. After sixteen years
study he claims TO have wrested a great
secret from nature.
Prophet Vaughn will not make his
method public yet for fear others may
claim the credit Of his great discovery,
but in due time the public shall know all
he says.
According to Mr.. vaughn's theory the
earth, as It revolves on its axis, generates
electricity by friction with the sums rays,
and after certain number Of revolutions,
(he refuses to say how many,) the eIec-
tricity gathers at certain point on the
earth's surface, where 1t attracts air and
the moisture in the atmosphere until tho
vicinity is filed with 1t. Then a myste-
rious something, which Mr.. Vaughn calls
''source," happens along that way and
comes into contact with the electrified
moisture and then there is trouble. There
is tremendous shock and the accumula-
ted air rushes violently in thedirection Of
the sun.
Here's your cyclone, and this action
upon the atmosphere causes rain or snow
or hail, according to tho temperature.
Mr.. Vaughn says it Is amusing to read
in the school books the statement that
earthquakes are caused by violent con-
vulsions in the interior of the earth.
"That is all nonsense" says the prophet.
Earthquakes are caused by the shock
produced when the electrified air Is inva-
ded by this mysterious source"
And he can prove, he says, that the dis
turbance starts from somewhere on the
surface of the earth. He has reports from
Pennsylvania where an earthquake
frightened the people of an entire town.
ship, while men who were at work in q
deep mine missed it all and were not at
all disturbed.

DR.. Vanderburg, the head of the in
stitute was seen next. The doctor said
that in the case of patients newly arrived
and under terrible nervous strain the
news of the death of Mines and the mys.
terious disappearance of Forgie might
cause harm. 1t would cause despair and
take away all hope. "Why," he said,
"two cases out of ten thousand have been
reported in the newspapers. We do not
even claim such percentage. We will
allow that perhaps five out of hundred
are incurable, owing to some chronic dis
ease or to natural weakness of mind.

and maintain.
"Your government" said he, "now
spends third more money in a year
than ours, and you have no army to
speak of, and a navy that your own press
makes sport Of Your extravaganza is
amazing, and if your people had to pay
1t in direct tax there certainly would
be revolution. But they pay it, never
theless, and make no fuss about it. Your
people seem to be prosperiDg in spite of
themselves, and but for your protective
tariff you would soon be the richest ma
tion upon the earth, for you have every
thing here to make you rich. Instead of
borrowing English money, as you are do.

money to the world"
Well, this is not new talk. 1t is old,
and it comes from the other side, but it
comes from men who are investing their
money here in iron and coal and rail-
roads, and of course they are honest in
expressing their opinions. They have
some politics over there, too, and raise
rumpus, but their members of parlia-
ment get no pay, and they work for the

Charles l.. Harper, who was for
many years superintendent of schools
for Grant county, has purchased The
Lancaster Herald, and become its
editor. Mr.. Harper is a successful
schoolman with considerable news
paper experience, and, as The Herald
is the Oldest newspaper in South
western Wisconsin, and well estab-
lished, he will doubtless succeed in
his new venture. But as the chief
object in life of republican news
paper editor nowadays is to support
policy of Federal taxation which is
opposed to the intelligence of the age,
The Democrat is at a loss to know
what real thoroughgoing schoolman
can find congenial in the occupation.
There is certainly nothing inspiring
in the publication of the stereotyped
statement as to "Why 1 am a pro-
tectionist," by some high taxer with
more zeal than knowledge. If Mr..
Harper will only eschew the old ex-
ploded arguments advanced by the
home market club, and offer of his
own accord some valid excuse for the
continuance of the policy of high
tariff taxation, he will, on account of
his originality, win for himself en-
minent distinction among political
writer's. In fact something original
for the high tax side of the question
would make him the Rudyard Kipling
of tariff writer's.

Unworthy of the Age.
The Boston Herali.


The parallel between the republican
party Of today and the whig party of
the period when Harrison's grandfather
was elected president seems to us to
have not had the attention it deserves.
In the earlier period when the wings
came into power with an enormous
majority, they at once proceeded to
establish a strong central government
in their legislation. They voted for a
United States bank, for high pro-
tective tariff, for large OUTLAWS in in
ternal improvements, for increased and
extravagant expenditures of the gov
eminent. That policy was repudiated
the next year by the people SO emphat-
ically that during the thirty years that
followed it was not even attempted to
be established. It has now been re-
vived in all its features except the
single feature of a United States
bank. In its present form it is more
offensive in giving special privileges
to the few in legislation at the expense
of the general welfare than ever be-
fore. 1t is altogether unworthy of the
progressive age which has succeeded
it's early reputation.

The Crisp-Springer leadership of the
house of representatives gets the fol-
lowing richly deserved rebuke from
The Lacrosse Chronicle:
Almost six months have passed and
but one tariff bill that Democratic
house ought to have passed has
gone to the Senate and that one
was so amended as to leave nothing of
Mr.. Springer's original purpose in it.
That was the wool bill. The binding
Irvine bill, which also passed, was a
nasty little humbug. A pretended
blow at the cordage trust, that with
great sound and fury struck at the on
ly article the cordage trust makes that
has low tax on it now. Mr.. SPRING
er's great plan for tariff reform was
easily sidetracked to allow the free
silver fight free swing, as was expected
and intended when Mr.. Springer was
elected. The balance of the tariff re-
form measures are still hung up in
committee, and the fact is the men,
bers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee are rowing among themselves,
and with most of the individual
members of the house about them, and
cannot find any place to 60 on or any
place to let 60.

handsomest home endorsements at

man in the district for that position
If the democrats should nominate
Hoo. I. l.. Cleary they would have a
redoubtable champion of their cause;
and one who would poll large vote
IN every county in the district. On
the tariff issue, or any other issue
which may come up, he would over
match any champion that the high
takers might place in the field against
him. Mr.. Cleary is just the kind OF

Gov. Peck has appointed John c.
Ludwig as Judge of the superior court
of Milwaukee county, to succeed the
late Judge ellison. Mr.. Ludwig is an
able lawyer and clean young man of
high character. A number of chronic
kickers in milwaukee, set on by the Re-
publicans press, are making a good
deal of noisy senseless opposition to
the appointment. While offering no
objection to Mr.. Ludwig in point of
character and ability, they question the
motives of his appointment. Such op-
position is not alarming.

Jefferson ON Slaverv.

Mr.. Jefferson used every influence,
personal and political, to give stability
to the new republic. He foresaw the
danger from slavery; by the North.
western Ordinance he provided for its
abolition in that territory, and urged
its abolition everywhere else. He be.
ieved that republic to endure must
be government of the people, and on
that account he sought to destroy the
influence of the Federalists and bring
the people into more direct contact
with the government itself.
