THE difference between curing a
sick man and killing him is precise
ly the difference between reforming
the tariff and free trade. The re
publicans would keep the patient
sick by insisting on keeping up the
doses of high tariff; the democrats
would give the patient chance to
regain his health and strength by
cutting the tariff dose down to a
reasonable quantity.

HINTS TO ADVERTISERS.

The DEMOCRAT IS read by the buying classes and is the best advertising me- dium in Waterbury.
 It is 8 family newspaper and has re- fused to take objectionable advertising at good prices. Advertising, of what ever nature, will be accepted by every other paper in the city, at less rates than are charged local merchants.
 The first essential in writing an adver- tisement is to have something to say. Form ofexpression is only an accessory. People don't consult an advertisement because of its graceful diction.g IThey are after ideas. When written, the most important thing about an advertisement is that il be put where it can be read by those most interested.
 The next important thing is that il shall offer a distinct and attractive in ducement.
 Then-keep at it. Persistent ant long continued advertising is wha counts.

ANGLING FOR THE OCTOPUS
The Bait Is a Piece of White Cloth Tied
 on | Hook.

4 Hook.
 ''It is no trick to catch them. They are pulled out with hook and line from I the deep waters of the sound, just like | fish, and are found on the rocky bottoms of the fishing banks,'' said a Seattle fisherman to Press-Times re- l porter.
 Look at this,' continued Nick, rais- ing the slimy mass of legs and pointing to perfect counterpart of parrots black beak. That's it's mouth. Just like parrots, only much larger and more powerful. When once those jaws fasten on the bait they never let go until landed on the deck of the boat.
 No; they seldom give us much | trouble. That is part of Greek fisher mans early education. Experience has | taught the men how to handle them safely. The only care necessary is to prevent their fastening their suckers on the sides and bottom of the boat. If, by accident or carelessness. they should succeed in doing so the octopus is safe, for the suction of those cuplike disks is so great that nothing but the knife can dislodge them, and, as they can't be reached. they get away. ''The men know by the weight on the inc and it's action when an octopus is hooked. Then, by means of poles, the line is kept away from the boat, and, watching favorable opportunity, with the assistance of boat hooks the fellow is suddenly yanl1ed on board and left to thrash its life away on deck. Of course the men have learned to keep carefully out of reach of it's tentacles.
 ''On clear day and in clear weather one can sec an octopus at great depths. Their bodies usually lie hidden under shelving rocks, leaving only one or more of those long fcelers visible, nov ing cautiously back and forth. By batting hook with white rag and dropping it close by, it is fun to watch their movements. They pretend not to see the bait, believing it is living prey.
 "They will advance their feelers inch by inch, and gradually their body, and retreat again, as if to draw on the intended victim. Playing the bait back and forth excites their cupidity, and l when satisfied of the result the beast makes a spring for the bait that, for hghtning-like rapidity, beats anything on record. Of course it fastens it's razor-like, double -back-action bealz into the rag and holds on like grim death, allowing itself to be pulled out of the water rather than let gO."

After the Physicians Had Put Twelve Stitches in the Wounds, George Grum- bling ReGained Consciousness, Tore on the Bandages and Lacerated the Cuts fn a Fearful Manner, Dying From Loss of Blood Before the aIedical Men Could

 GREENsBURG, Pa, Feb. 1S.-Georgs Grumbling, a prominent citizen of Old Ninevah, took his life in a most horrible and blood curdling manner. Mir. Grumb- ling has been i'll with grip for two weeks past and this probably affected his mind
 In any event, during the temporary absence of his nurse, he arose from his bed and going to window broke paue of glass. Then, placing his head through the hole, he deliberately sawed his throat over the jagged edges; infiicting terrible injuries.
 Blood spurted in all directions, but the unfortunate man kept on saving his throat until he fell to the floor exhausted from loss of blood.
 A few moments later the nurse re- turned, and seeing the mans condition, hastily summoned physicians.
 The doctors put twelve stitches in the frightful wounds and then put Grumbling to bed.
 They had scarcely turned away from the: injured man when Grumbling, who had recovered consciousness, tore out the stitches, lacerating the gaping wounds afresh
 Death ensued before the doctors could stahnch the renewed flow of blood.
