a poor man and hitherto little known

THERE is nothing very attractive in
the outlook, to Republican, in all that
vast country west of the great Missis =
sippi river. From scrutinizlng birds
eye view it looks like an arid waste;
with no golden sunshine to sheen the
shield of Benjamin Harrison. Kansas
is sure goner, and the Omaha conven-
tion promises to take Nebraska, Color
ado, Nevada, Idaho and South Dakota,
out of the list of Republican states.
Iowa is in grave doubt and there is
scarcely fighting chance for Illinois
and Wisconsin. Millions will not save
the young empires Of the west, even
with the glorious system of gather-in
by "blocks of five" Instead of five
doubtful states, as in 1888, there are
no " fifteen doubtful states, and more
coming. With labor reductions, lock.
outs ana strikes as frequent as the
June thunder storms, the outlook for
the Hat and Rat ticket is full of the
somber cloudlets of coming disaster.

"WHAT Shall the Ratio Be-" is the
somewhat poetic title to very prac-
teal symposium on the money question
with which the North American Re
view for July is opened. The ratio of
money to the population and the rela-
tive value of gold and silver is the sub
ject under discussion, the participants
being of National rerute in the discus
sion on silver coinage, The sym
postum is opened by Senator Stewart of
Nevada, followed by Congressman
Springer of the Ways and Means COM
mittee; Senator Hansborough of North
Dakota; Representative Bland of Mis-
souri, and Representative Dalzell of
Pennsylvan a. OF the decline in silver
Mr.. Leech, Director of the Mint, is
quoted as saying that the great under
lying cause has been accurately and
concisely summed up In the report of
the Royal Commission on Gold and
Silver, 1889, which says:
"phe action of the Latin Union In
1873 broke the link between silver and
gold which had kept the former, as
measured by the latter; aud when this
link is broken, the silver market was
open to the influences of all the factors
which 40 10 effect the price of a com
modify. These factors happen since
1873 to have operated in the direction
OF fall in the gold price OF that
metal"

Apropos of the opening Presidential
canvass, the nomination of Whitelaw
Reid introduces au odd feature into the
campaign. AS is we'll known, Editor
Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun,
the journalistic spokesman and.apostle
of Ex-Governor and Senator David b.
Hill, and Tammany Hall, detests the
Republican nominee for Vice President
with a cordiality as sincere as it is pro-
found, and entertains for the successor
of Horace Greeley hatred which Is
paralleled only by his fundamental
aversion for Grover Cleveland.
This places Dana between the devil
and the deep sea, and we believe he
prefers the deep sea to the devil, and
hence he will support Grover Cleveland,

AS THE great first popular champion
of tariff reform Grover Cleveland has
entrenched himself in the hearts of the
American people and that place be will
continue to hold both now and In all

direct cause of his selection as the Dem

his election this fall. Republics are not

A noted horseman of the West, one
familiar with the wild horses of the
plains, relates the following incident
OF which he was d witness, and which,
he said, made his 'tnerves tingIe.N
Near the forks Of the North and South

wild horses lifted his head on hearing
that neigh of welcome from my steed,
and they all stood still.
One magnificent black stallion, which
appeared to be the leader of the troop,
after looking at me for a moment came
toward me with an easy, graceful
stride and took position in front of his
followers. He was the finest specimen
OF horseflesh I aver saw. His tail
swept the ground, and his name hung
to his shoulders. His skin shone like
a lookingg-glass in the morning sun

My mustang became so excited that

Soon after the black stallion gave his
head a toss and started on a rapid trot
across the prairie. the entire band fol-

about half a mile tho band returned,

of me, and the leader whinnied as if
to invite my horse to join them.

lat the end of the table was a

Are They Practicable for Use in Light
houses in Place of Oil:
Notwithstanding the doubt expressed
by good judges as to the a%daptability
OF the electric light for lighthouses,
Oh account of its presumed lack OF
Preventative power in the case of fogs.
such approximations appear not to have
been confirmed in practice, it being
proved that the power of illuminating
fog depends entirely upon the quantity
Oh light, while that of penetration de-
ponds upon the concentration of the
beam. In the abundant tests which
have been made in this line, the fact
appears that both oil and gas possess
greater fog Illuminating power, in pro-
portion to fog penetrating power, than
docs electricity, though in a light fog
the slight extension due to the glow
would be of little value; indeed, the
direct light would be seer first, and, in
thick fog, necessitating q near ap-
proach to q lighthouse, the luminosity
would be easily seen before the light,
which would of course be stronger.
An authority on this subject declares
That While, for general lighthouse
work, oil is without doubt the most
economical illumiilant, there are yet
situations of sufficient Importance to
warrant the adoption Of electricisy:
and Notwithstanding the cost of the
original installation being so much
greater than in the case of gas or oil.
there are doubtless, it is remarked,
many lighthouses, the world over,
which could be supplied from existing
plants, and would require. then, only
the necessary lamps and lenses.-New
