The REGISTER learns that the Re-
publican candidates for county
offices are throwing mud at one an
other, and also at the Democratic
candidates. This is all wrong. Ev-
cry man should stand on his own
merits The man who expects to
ride into Office by backing the char
acter of his opponent, is deserving
of defeat, and will get it. We need
no stronger evidence of a mans
weakness than to learn that he is
engaged in mud singing. The man
who cannot trust to his ability and
popularity, be he Democrat or Re-
publican, had better withdraw from
the contest, and the sooner, the bet
ter for himself and his party.

There was once time in the his.
tory of the Republican party when
tariff of % per cent. was consider
ed burdensome. and in 1857 this
tariff was reduced by the first Re-
publican Congress, of which N. p.
Banks was Speaker, on the ground
that the revenue was excessive. A
tariff then was tax and a burden
on the people, to be reduced to the
lowest possible limit. But what a

can earn a better living here" and calls
it "a frank eonfession."' What re-

We sat for an hour or more on the east
bank of the Beaverkill at Rockland and
watched the trout of that celebrated
river passing over the dam, which is
nearly three feet high, with about a
4-inch volume of water pouring over it,
The trout ranged in size from ten to
eighteen inches, and during the time we
sat there at least twenty managed to get
over. In many instances first attempt
failed, owing, however, more to an ap-
parent want of Judgment, or perhaps Of
experience. than from lack of physical
ability in the fish to accomplish the feat,
the smaller fish as rule failing to get
over in the first effort.
But few of the larger fish made a
clean jump into the smooth water above
the apron of the dam; most of them
passed perpendicularly up the falling
waters and with apparent ease. These
fish were enabled to swim straight up
this downpour of the waters by the
great muscular power they possessed;
there was no trick, no sleight of hand
about tit was pure strength of body,
which is evidently centered In the pc
duncle or tail and the tail fin.
They actually sculled their bodies up
this comparatively dense mass of water.

inches under similar conditions?-Amer-

There is not another place in the

as at the court of his father-in-law
King Christian of Denmark. They were
sitting together on the day of the golden
wedding of the king, when the emperor,
in the exuberance of his feelings of COM
fort, said that he wished he could think
of something by which he could give to
his beloved father very great pleasure.
"You could not give me greater
pleasure" replied the king, ethan ]

Old Eaton Stone, the circus rider, lives
on an eighteen acre farm near this vii
lage. He is almost as active as he was
years ago, when his daring feats on
horseback made him famous all over the
but keeps constantly busy. When he
has nothing else 10 do he gets out his
oil colors and adds to the unique deco
ration of the ancient farmhouse in
which he resides. Nothing exactly like
Mr.. Stones painting is to be found else
where. and what he has done in score
of years must have kept him well EN-
ployed. Almost everything in the house
is decorated. Red of the brightest YER
million hue, green which rivals the
grass in June, yellow which would do
most lively shade, go into all his scrolls,
stars. flowers, stripes and nondescript
figures.
The ceiling of the dining room is hid
den in wonderful designs traced in vivid
colors. There is no attempt at blending
or compounding colors. They are laid
on as they come from the pots and tubes.
and the patterns are original creations.
Even the stove has come in for base
line of vivid decoration, and one of the
two clocks in the room is completely
covered with paint. The picture frames
are decorated; the nantel has gener-
Gus share Of decoration; the oilcloth
table covers have added designs the
maker never contemplated, and even the
chairs have been treated TO a display of
the old mans handiwork. On the walls,
and even on the doors. he has oil paint
ings and compositions from his brush.
They are not high art, but they are very
effective and show considerable genius.

A startling Record.

1t is to be remembered that manufac-

prosperous during the past year, and
that the decrease in imports has not been
offset by home production. The enor-

led thousands Of the people of thel Unit

them at the cost Of heavy tribute

OFF THE PITCH.


eddy ''QatveriSh."
Senator Carlisle's answer TO Mr.. Aid
rich has stirred up the Republican
brethren nightly, and they are not SO
content as they profess,sl themselves TO
let the Rhode island senator's speech no
out rs the keynote of the campaiyn."
In fact, they now find that keynote to
be decidedly off the proper pitch. and
are trying in various ways to sound it 81
that 1t will be free from suspicious
quavers and crackings. Senator Shcr-
man reverted to the ancient melody in
praise OF dear goods, and said that Mr..
Carlisle's demonstration that the McKin-
ley bill had increased the cost of living
had no terrors for him, inasmuch as ha
was far from sure that cheapness was
desirable.
Our own senator tried his mouth at
the keynote and took the position that
since large part of the increase Of the
cost in living was due to enhanced prices
for agricultural products, the Mckinley
bill could not be held chargeable for
that advance, because "the prices of
agricultural products are not really af-
fected by the tariff legislation of 1890"
This is rather hard on Senator AID
rich, Uncle Jerry and The Tribune, and
their assertions that Mckinley had put
millions Of dollars into the pockets of
the farmers. 1t is hardest of all ON the
New York senator, who two years ago
developed such a consuming interest in
the farming population. and SO emphat-
ically said that the Mckinley bill was
solely for their benefit, that he was at
once dubbed Farmer" Hiscock. Alto

ing a fearful discord in its efforts to
