Strange Story From Georgia.

A special from Cordele, Ga, says:
The embalmed body OF a man, up
right in a glass-faced metallic coffin,
holding a gold headed cane in the
hand and with a profusion OF dia-
monds and other jewelry. decorates
the parlor OF Mrs. Geo. w. Marvin's
residence in this town. The en-
baImed body is that Of her husband,
who died on the 10th day Of last July.
DIR. Marvin was the Tealthlest man
in Cordele. He wa. president Of the
bank and was worth something over
$500, 900.
DR.. Marvin and his wife were in
fidels. though but few knew 1t until
his death last July. Mrs. Marvin was
wild with grief at the time OF her hus-
bands death, and made the startling
announcement that she had made a
solemn compact with her husband
before his death, agreeing that they
would both enter oblivion at as near
the same time as could be easily ar
ranged by means of suicide. She still
c0ntemplates taking her own lie as
soon as she has made some arrange
ments for the permanent lnterment
Of her husband 5 remains.
When the doctor died the body was
followed TO the grave in the little
cemetery by all the town. Four
DAYS after the burial, in the de rkness
Of night, there was another funeral
procession, but no carriages followed
the hearse, and no one on foot accom-
panied the dead except those who
helped TO dig the earth from above
the coffin and bear the corpse back to
the place from which the first process
sion had started. In the dead OF the
night few trusted friends, who Mrs.
Marvin had requested to act, went to
the cemetery aud brought back the
body.
Next morning an embalmer arrived
from New Orleans and embalmed the
body. At the same time an Italian
sculptor began preparing plans for
an immense mausoleum TO be erected
in Cordele in memory of DR.. Marvin.
II the original idea had been car
ried out this town would have had the
most magnificent tomb in Georgia.
But Mrs. Marvin has given up the
adea Of building the tomb, and sub
stituted the building OF college rs
living monument TO her husband :
memory. Mrs Marvin refuses to sep
crate the jewelry and the remains Of
her husband.
To bury him in the cemetery she
fears the body will be eIhumed and
the jewels stolen. Therefore the body
i. kept in the parlor OF her house and
will stay there until she decides upon
some sort Of Il safe tomb for the re-
mains of her husband and herself.
When such is prepared by her own
hands she says she will join him.

The Axe Illustration.

Here is a simple illustration OF the
oppression Of the tariff tax. There is
no tool in more common use among
the farmers and mechanics than the
axe or Ratchet. Two months ago the
manufacturers Of these tools formed
a trust" and the combine now has
complete control Of the market. An
advance has been made of S1.7o to
- % per dozen.
Now let us see what part the pro-
tective duty plays in axe manufactur-
ing. Under the Mckinley law the
duty is As per cent. The price to the
home trade is $40 per dozen for first
quality delivered on cars at the fac
tory, or 1924 per dozen for beveled
axes.
Now see the difference on the eX-
port trade The first quality is de-
livered in New York for the foreign
trade at Sc. - per dozen. difference
of Sl.01, and for the beveled axe 81. 90
or difference of S1.04 on the dozen.
You can buy the American axe in En-
gland - dozen cheaper than you
can buy them right here at the fac
tory.
And yet the Republican campaign
speakers will tell you that the Mckin-
ley tariff is a benefit TO the farmers
and mechanics. -P0rtloRd (Ore) Tels-

Carnegie Analysis.

Carnegie is great friend of Harri-
sons.
Carnegie gives great sums to the
Republican campaign funds.
Carnegie has the contract TO fur
nish 5000 tons OF armor plate 10 the
government at 5000 ton.
Carnegie was awarded these con-
tracts without bids and without com
petition.
1t costs Carnegie $40 ton to man
ufacture this armor plate.
Carnegie and Phipps, his partner,
live in royal castles in England.
Carnegie says he draws over mil
lion dollars a year, as his share OF
profit out of the earnings of the Car
uegie works.
That's what protection does for Car
negie & Co.
The farmer is now compelled to sell
his wheat for 20 cents a bushel less
than last year; and wool is going at
) cents u pound less than it sold for
two years ago.
Carnegie is protected by tariff.

4 Pauper Industry.

The tariff Of 1890 deals out govern
nent licenses 10 its favorites to take
that which is not their own, against the
protest Of other industries demanding
the right to keep what they have earned,
and strife is thus inaugurated between
domestic industries more subverting to
general prosperity than any possible en-
croachment of foreigners.
The contest which ended in the in
creased duty on timed plate was a
novel interference with 5000 selfsup-
porting established industries built up
by the use Of cheap timed plate as their
raw material in order TO favor an in
du.try non-selfsupporting, and which
very fact was urged as an excuse why
public charity should be extended
toward it.
The government in thus granting
privileges to certain industries, at the
expense Of others, is encouraging a prec-
edent which, in its simplest definition,
means robbery, and which in its results
involves burdening the people TO natural
ize pauper industry at the blatant ap-
peal of those whose sole object was to
profit by selling supplies to the indus
trial poorhouse thus set up.

s,.,u,,.. Democratic proelivitie..

Senator Sherman is one OF several
Republican congressman who had to
struggle with their consciences when
thew voted for the Mckinley bill. That
his conscience is not yet fully at ease as
regards the matter is evident from the
following, spoken in the senate IN July:
Indeed have no doubt the result Of
the policy Of protection does always
bring about some results which would
probably not be desirable. The enor-
NOUS development Of these industries
has made the aggregation Of vast
amounts of capital and great corpora
tons, and there may be more or less
danger growing from their ambitious
desires and sometimes from their IN
fairness and their disregard Of the rights
of the poor and of the laboring man.
There are dozens Of articles in the
tariff which, if l myself were TO frame
a tariff bill looking only to the interests
of the people of Ohio, l might strike
down here and there. certainly would
admit coal duty free and | would admit
lumber duty free. would do great
many things that our Democratic friends
want to do; but in system like this you
have to observe impartial justice to all
interests alike. If you protect the in
terests of Illinois you must also protect
the interests of Minnesota, and do what
is fair all around. 4 tariff bill, after
all, we all admit, is a struggle Of oppos-
ing interests. Every man, taken by
himself; is opposed to something in the
tariff. If he wants to buy he wants 10
buy as cheaply as possible, and if he
wants to sell he wants as much protec-
ton as possible. In the nature Of
tariff law there must be some general
rule applied to all sections and to all in
terests, and the result has proved by
actual experiment in the last thirty years
that Of all our interests this protective
system is the greatest and most impor-
tant Of our financial operations.

Notable Accessions.

The New York Times publishes a
dispatch from Chicago in which it is
stated that Judge Walter Q. Gresham
informed its representative that he
intended to vote for the Cleveland
and Stevenson electoral ticket. The
Judge declined to give his reasons for
the contemplated action, but it is said
on a recent visit to Indianapolis he
was outspoken in his condemnation of
the Mckinley tariff bill. Judge Ores
ham has been recognized as one OF the
ablest and most popular Republicans
in the West. He was pressed by
friends for the presidency in 1888, and
in the national convention received
III votes on the first ballot. This
year he was the choice Of the third
party people for the presidency, but
declined TO consent to accept the NOM
ination. The Times also says there is
reliable authority for the statement
that Hon. Wayne McVeagh, of Penn
sylvania, Senator Don Cameron's
brother in law, and Judge Thomas NJ.
Cooley, of Michigan, both distinguish
ed Republicans, will soon make public
in letters, over their own signatures,
the reasons why they will support
Mr.. Cleveland.

IT is said that the McMurray can
ming factory at Frederick, Md, this
year paid the enormous sum Of $50, 1876
more for its tin heretofore-tha an the
increase being caused by the heavier
duty levied by the Mckinley bill.
Did the company or the foreigner pay
this money out Of their own pockets :?
Not much. The company simply in
creased the price of canned goods, and
the man who buys can OF corn or
tomatoes and takes it home to his
family is paying his share OF that
$50, 13G. The consumer always pays
the tariff tax.

A Peculiar Case.

In the latter part of 1878 a Young
lady died near Cleveland, Ohio, Of a
disease that had greatly puzzled the
attending physicians, the symptoms
being similar to rheumatism Of the
heart. The postmortem revealed one
OF the most remarkable facts TO the
medical profession. y large burdock
bur was found securely imbedd" d in
the heart, directly against tho pos
terror Of the aOrto. 1t was COM s-rely
enveloped with cystic tissue, witch
had also covered all the large blood
vessels leading TO and from the heart.
There is only one way Of accounting
for the presence Of the bur. 1t had
been breathed into the air passages
when the woman was a child. The
specimen was sent to the museum Of
the Bennett Medical College, Chicago.
1t has bsen inspected by all the lead
ing physicians of that vicinity, and
all unite in pronouncing it the most
extraordinary case on record.

Florida Goes Democratic.

Florida's majority Of 10000 for the
Democratic candidates will open the
eyes Of persons who have fancied
that a third party chaos prevailed in
that and adjacent States. The col
ored voters of Florida in large num-
bers cast their ballots for Democrats
"a departure Of which there are signs
in many States The colored people
are beginning to see that the Repub-
lican party has nothing for them.
Its sole promise is TO embroil them
with their white neighbors. 1t is
worth nothing that in Florida the
colored voters took no stock IN the
third party. As in Arkansas and AL
ALBANIA, that party in Florida failed
to make good its boasts. 1t is now in
order to cry fraud and intimidation.

THE REPUBLICAN IDEA.

The Republican idea of statesman
ship is somewhat peculiar one, if
we are to judge by the remarks OF
campaign orators and the printed
views OF the press OF that party. The
Martinsburg HsraH and Independent
frantically ask, What has Mr. Wilson
done since he has been in Congress!
Mr.. Pitzer in his speech in Shepherds
town recently dehed the audience TO
show anything that Mr.. Wilson had
done to merit return TO Congress,
and the following week, in the IHde-
pendent, asserted that the record
would not show any work for Mr..
Wilson. Mr.. Pitzer, in MS speech,
charged Mr.. Wilson with having pre-
vented the passage or being respon-
.ible for delay OF three years in the
bill providing for public building at
Martinsburg. We haven't the record
before u at this time, but our recol-
lection il that Mr. Wilson snatched
that bill from the very jaws Of death
in the House Of Representatives. At
the close of the session an Infatuated
Member took the floor and objected
TO every measure presented. Inc
Martinsbug public building bill came
up. aud the objection that meant its
defeat was made Mr. Wilson's strong
personal appeal was oil that saved
it. for in withdra wing his objection
the obstreperous Member said he dld
so only because Of his supreme re-
spect for Mr. Wilson. whose fairness
and manliness and ability had always
been so manifest. The Martinsburg
measure thus got through, but the
objector stood there and killed bill al
ter bill even more meritorious.
The Republican idea of Congress
man seems 10 be that OF man who
devotes his time 10 the petty political
manax cement of his district who will
run around from department TO de
partu4nt at Washington hunting up
Jobs for his constituents whose pub
lie measures are the bills granting
pensions or obtaining war-claims for
more or leso deserving claimants.
Mr.. Wilson is not this sort OF states
man. While the humblest OF his con-
stituents may always command his
services and the most Insignificant in
terest OF his people receive his care
full attention. he realizes that there
are other matters that demand an
even greater share Of his time and
The great questions of pub

all this broad land we do not believe
there is a man who has given to these
