This was in such marked contrast to
the lugubrious editorials on the condition

publishing of late and its publication
would be such dead give away that the
calamity editor concluded that he must
get it out of sight as much as possible.
So he boiled it down into statement that

Lions and isuffaloes.

A well known traveller in Africa says
that in one of his long journeys he came
across the dislocated skeleton of a buffa-
10 almost interningled with the broken
bones of lion, the skull Of which was
lying near, while the skull of the buffalo
was also near at hand, but devoid of the
nasal bones The ground evidently was
the scene of a desperate combat in which
both animals had succumbed.
1t is common practice among lions,
this gentleman says, to hunt in COM
pany. A friend of mine in South Afri-
ca had peculiar example of this. His
friend V had wounded bull buff
falo, which had retreated within the
forest. The two hunters carefully fol-
lowed the blood track, but after a short
advance were startled by succession of
loud roars, which betokened lions close
at hand.
There could be little doubt that the
wounded buffalo had been attacked.
Therefore with proper precaution they
approached the spot until an exciting
scene presented itself suddenly on the
other side of large fallen tree, which
happily concealed the approach Of the
two hunters.
Three lions were engaged in a life and
death combat with the gallant old bull,
who made a desperate defense, first
knocking over one Of his enemies, then
goring another to the ground, and ex-
hibiting strength which appeared suf-
ficient to defeat the combination.
Suddenly the buffalo fell dead. This
was the result Of the original wound, as
the rifle bullet had passed through the
lungs.
The lions were not aware of this, and
began to quarrel among themselves
about their imagined victory. One huge
beast reared to half its height and
placed its forepaws upon the body of
the PROSTATE buffalo, while at the head
and the headquarters an angry lion
clutched the dead body in its spreading
paws, and growled at the possessor of
the center. This formed grand picture
within only few yards distance, but
two rifle shots stretched two lions roll
ing upon the ground, and the third
bounded into the thick covert and dis
appeared.-Y outh's Companion.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, free trader and

there has never been a time in the history
of this or any other country when the general
rate of wages was as high as it is now, or the
prices of goods relatively to the wages as low

A committee Of the United States Sen
ate made up of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in report that was concurred il
by all of them declared that
as a result of the calculations which have
been made it will be seen that the relative cost,
of living in September 1891, as compared with
the first three months of the period beginning
with June, 1880 was 1886 per cent; in other
words, so far as there has been any change in
the course of retail prices it has resulted in
gain of about one half of one per cent In the
average purchase price of the commodities con-
Sumed by an ordinary family
On one side of this question we have
therefore man of high standing doing
business in this city, Democrat and
free trader of national reputation,
and committee of the United
States Senate composed of Repu
blicans and Democrats. All these au-
thorities declare that articles of general
household consumption were never SO
low as they are now. On the other side
of this question is the Eastern Argus
and as regards alpaca dresses and cordu-
roy pantaloons, Mayor Iegraham. We
leave it for the public to decide which Of
these two sets of authorities is likely to
be the more trustworthy.

Sugar-such at least as the public uses-is

that is sold for household use. The half-cent
sions when the consumer buys his dollars
worth. 1t is said that the highly protected
monopoly, known as the Sugar Trust is making
$4,000 a day, clear profitAArgus.
The sugar refners are protected by a
duty of half cent pound. How much
did the Mills bill, which the Argus en-
lorsed as the highest wisdom, give them?
About six-tenths of cent pound, or a
tenth of a cent more than the Mckinley
bill. That is, if the Mills bill which the
Argus endorsed had become a law, the
Sugar Trust would have had fifth
more protection then 1t now has. Last
winter the Democratic House was strong
ly appealed to to repeal the duty on re-
fined sugar on the ground that it would
break up the trust. But while it
passed bills repeating the duty
on binding Irvine, and cotton ties
and several other articles of little &C
count, it refused to touch sugar. The
largest owners in the sugar trust
have been accustomed to contribute
literally to the Democratic campaign
fund. And the Democratic House con
cluded to let the tariff on refined sugar
alone.

Our Democratic brethren. in the En-
pire State are very much exercised be-
cause Mr.. John I. Davenport, chief fed
eral supervisor in New York. refused to
answer Congressman Fitch's summons
to appear before the latter's committee
and testify in relation to the operation
of the supervisor law. They appear to
be of the opinion that Mr.. Davenport in
thus refusing to respond to the summons
of the august committee was guilty of
impertinence fol-. which he should be Sc
verely punished. Under the circum-
stances we are inclined to think that Mr..
Davenport's refusal was justifable. 1t
hardly admits of doubt that the real
purpose of Mr.. Fitch and his committee
in instituting an investigation at this
time was to hamper Mr.. Davenport in
the execution of the law and make it
more easy for the Democrats to steal the
State of New York by colonizing voters
in the city. Whatever the committee
wants to know about the workings of the
law can be ascertained just as well
month later. Mr.. Davenport's duties as
supervisor take precedence of his duty
to testify before q congressional commit
tee, and he was quito right in refusing to
perform the latter to the neglect of the
former

The Argus, apparently, has a calamity
editor who is very careful to exclude
everything from its columns tending to
show that the business of the country is
prosperous. Friday night the Associated
Press report contained the weekly trade
review Of R. G. Dun & Co., one of the
best known mercantile agencies in the
country. In this review Messrs. Dun &
Co., said:
Once more it must be said that trade indica-
lions are entirely favorable. Even the

throughout the country is somewhat larger than

ceptionally favorable ana in all the great

almost all commercial centres, but there is seen
nowhere any stringency, the supply being am
