Nanticoke indians.


"Mr Dinwiddie, of the National Bureau
Of Ethnoioey and Archaeology. has been on
the shore for several days seeking iuforma-
ton Of the long extinct tribes of Indians
known as the Nanticokes. With several
local assistants he has UaveTsed the entire
leugth of the Nantieoke river, visiting the
mounds aud graveyards Of the tribe. At
Rivertou considerable pottery was found. and
one human skeleton was unearthed which,
it is claimed was that Of long departed
brave. The skeleton Of a large dog was also
discovered, whose huge frame and savage
teeth indicated that he knew a savage ezis
teuce. The Nanticotss are supposed to
have departed from their native hunting
grounds about the year 1860 aud moved west

THE Mugwumps of New York are
now under the leadership Of ex-
Mayor VIM. R. Grace, their number
is pretty clearly established between
the votes cast in the thirty Assem-
bly, districts ofthe city for Mr.. Cleye-
land, for whom they voted, and the
vote cast for Gilroy, the Tammany
Hall candidate for Mayor, whom they
did not support. The vote Mr..
Cleveland received in the districts
named is I74,541 In the same dis
tricts Gilroy the Tammany candi-
date for Mayor, received l74,244.
The difference over and above the
vote Of the Tammany supporters, the
Cleveland-Mugwump vote in New
York is exactly 997 They did not
support Einstein, the Republican
candidate for Mayor, for he fell be-
hind Harrison's total 2OS votes.
Now mark the prediction that not
witbstanding this insignificant nam
Der of 297 votes the Mugwumps will
make their influence felt with Pres
ident Cleveland When the time comes
to make appointments-to the dis
gust not only Of Tammany Hall, but
very many Democrats who fail to
believe that Mr.. Cleveland IS h;mseli
a BfugFamp. Already tits announced
that Mayor VIM. r. Grace's fire.
quent visits to Mr.. Cleveland -both
before and since the election, to-
gether with the extreme cordiality
of the ex-Mayor's reception by the
successful candidate and their long
private conferences which nobody is
allowed to break in upon, foreshad-
ows that Mr.. Cleveland will thrust
honor upon the Mugwump leader.
This intimacy has aroused the undis-
guised suspicion of Tammany Hall
leaders. They look upon it as a
breach Of the Victoria Hotel deal.
One Of the Tammany leaders openly
declared, ut would be just like old
Cleveland to 60 back on every prom
ise he made to Mr.. Croker Tam
many's Chief, without which he
could not have had Tammany's sup
port
These Mugwumps are the loudest
of Civil Service Reforms, and they
will endeavor to hold Mr.. Cleveland
to its strict observance, much to the
sorrow Of crowds of expectant Dem
ocrats who are hoping that Mr.
Cleveland will "turn the rascals
out But Mr.. Cleveland being a
Mugwump himself will not,it is sup
posed, be more ready to use the axe
than he was under his former ad-
ministration, however active Mr..
Adlm Stevenson may use it.

We are not among those who at

publicans voted for Mr. Cleveland,
because they really thought the tar

believe that a greater number was

one at New Orleans-lnsb ehoeu-
caused a loss to the strikers Of
$1,000 600, and when the strikers
went back to ask for their old places,
found them already filled; or,if some
were employed, it was to work for
sixteen hours instead oftwelve hours
and receive $50 a month instead of
$40. The ramiiications Of the Amal-
aamated Association extends all over
..he United States; it embraces an
amy Of members, and, for some rea-
son this powerful organization is not
friendly 10 The Republican party and
is ready to blame the tariff as the
cause Of their troubles, and it is our
opinion that a large per centage of
its members voted against Mr.. Har-
rison. Even the Typographical
Union, which numbers a host Of in
telligent yoters.opposed Hon. White
law Reid because he gave a prefer
ence to non-union printers, and they
passed resolutions prior to the cleo
tion to vote against him. The griev-
ance is capital against organized
labor, and sympathy naturally ex-
tended through every branch Of the
organization. The loss of this vote
was sufficient Of itself-to defeat the
President.
The paragraph below from the
New York Tribune in part agrees
with the spirit Of our article:
1t is the most striking feature of
this event that many workingmen in
certain Northern cities and towns,
whose wages have been advanced
under protection as wages have not
been advanced in any otherco country,
nor in this country under any other
policy have broughtupon themselves
the change and its consequences.
For, after abundant allowance has
been made for the power of Demo-
cratic organizations, and the votes
Of non-producing classes in cities,
and the influence of importing inter-
ests, the fact remains that the enOr-
nous Democratic majorities in this
city and Brooklyn, in Chicago and
many other cities and towns, would
not have been possible If the work
ingmen themselves had unitedly de-
Tended their own interests by their
votes. It is clear that many of them
have listened to the plea that the
/ Improvement in wages has not been
due to the tariff and to the indus
trial conditions which Protection
makes possible, but to other forces.
They are liable to be rudely unde-
ceived when they find that neither
their organizations nor any other
power can sustain wages when for
eign competition cioses American
works and shops and mines and
throws many out Of employment.
Bnt another and very effective in
fuence was arrayed against the Re
publican party in New York State
from the day thai Senator Hill took
the stamp Escf['r Cleveland-we
mean the liquor saloon power. It
is we'll known that the Senator was
backed by that power when he was
elected Governor, and he controls its
tremendous influence yet. But for
Senator Hill and his army Of liquor
sellers, we believe the President
would have carried New York. And
we further believe, that the liquor
saloons carried more Republican
votes to Mr.. Cleveland than the al
legged unpopularity Of the Mckinley
tariff lost votes to President Har-
rison.

NeU York Herald The correspon-
dent IS but one of the very many
hot-headed Democrats who can
hardly wait for the result Of the
election to be announced before they
want an extra session Of Congress
called to repeal the Mckinley tariff.
tits a pity they cohnot have tEeir
own way; it viii only hurry up the
downfall Of the Democratic party
that much the sooner. The whole
sale repeal Of the tariff would pro-
duce such widespread disaster to
the business of the country that no
crisis Of the past could approach its
ruinous results. Where the Demo-
Gratis or their allies can find a leader
in their ranks competent to grapple
with the tariff problem is difficult to
say. It is certain that no Democrat
in thelast Congress surpassed Nc
Kinley on tariff matters, and before
they are done with it will find that
they have a "white elephant on

and made the clothes for her husband and

she dipped tallow candles, to light the house
at night, and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fireplace and brick
oven. Yes; and when she was forty years
of age, she was already an old lady whose
best DAYS were over. Her shoulders were
bent and her joints enlarged by hard work,
aud she wore spectacles and cap. Her

this true if she preserves her health and
