THE STEAMBOAT CAPTAIN.
He Bears the Weight of Great Respon
SiI,iIify

He Bears the Weight of Great Respon-
sibility.
The steamboat captain, or master as
he is more properly termed, fills an i'm
portant niche in the world. He has a
sort of double personality, so to speak
During the navigation season he is in
his glory. He is at his best when on
the bridge of propeller or side-wheel-
schooner. How big he looks to the
average, commonplace person when
seen in this position, for we all have
seen him there at one time or another
There he controls complete the move
ments of his big craft, and every man
jack on board is subject to his COM
mands. A heavy responsibility rests
upon him. Maybe he is in command of
fine passenger boat of great value and
loaded with several hundred human
souls Or it is big steel freighter, the
value of boat and cargo being half a
million. In such cases the responsible
ty is immense, and a constitution and
nerve of iron are required to stand the
heavy continued strain of a thousand
trials incident to her navigation. Some
ocean masters affect to laugh at their
brothers on the lakes, but when the
circumstances surrounding the latter
are known the 'jeer of the saltwater
man may be accurately laid to igno-
rance. The elements of success in
freshwater master are: First A thor
ough knowledge of his route and every
shoal and reef uponit Second. A COM
bination OF prudence and daring; for
nowadays he must be hustler and
must keep his boat going if possible; at
the same time he must not be so daring
as to unnecessarily expose his boat to
danger, even if he can make a few
hours in doing So He must have fair
knowledge of businass as well as of
lake navigation, and must possess all
the qualities that gain the respect of
men and keep it-honesty, sobriety and
honor in everything. A qualification
generally necessary in passenger mas
ter is courtesy toward all, for popular
master adds to the patronage of his
boat by his very politeness. The other
side of the masters life is shown when
he is off duty in the winter. Then he
is like fish out of its native element
He simply doesn't know what to do
with himself, for he is not at home on
land or among landsmen. He then does
not attract half the attention of men as
when on top of the bridge or pilot
house.-Detroit Free Press.

PLUTooRAcY's TWINS.

Harrison and Cleveland Are tho Porsoni-
hcAtion OF ShylOok's Methods.
The work Of the democratic national
convention OF 1892 is completed, and
Grover Cleveland Is the nominee of the
party. The claim Is made, and it has a
surface support, that this In a nomina
ton In defiance Of the machine, a WELD
Ing to popular demand for o leader in
whom the people have confidence.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Banker Whitney, Of New York
city and Wall street, engineered the
Cleveland boom and nomination from
start to finish. So far from the choice
OF Cleveland being the popular will, he
was not even the choice of many dele
gates whose votes under the prevailing
unit rule, were cast for him. So well
did his leaders understand the situation
that they dared not allow the conven-
ton to adjourn at midnight, but amid
thunder, lightning, wind and rain thew
held their forces together for the ballot.
Had the necessary two-thirds not been
secured on the first ballot, the proba-
bilities are enough southern and west
ern men would have gone to Boies to
Tammany's votes.
Cleveland is nominated, and all he
stands for becomes democratic party
issues for the campaign. Harrison is
nominated, and all that he stands for
becomes republican party issues for the
campaign. Both stand for Wall street,
usurlous interest and plutocratic domi-
nance in governmental affairs. Both
are against an increase in the circulat-
ing medium, against free silver, against
any relief to the money stringency un-
der which the producers of the land
agonize even to the sweating of blood
The two old parties never drew so
near together in their platforms as
they have done this year The tariff
plank of the republicans was drawn
with Mephistophelean cleverness that
detes analysis. The democratic tariff
plank, as Endorsed by Cleveland and
presented by the majority of the COM
mittee, was the twin of the one drawn
at Minneapolis. This was lost, and a
franker statement of high-tax tariff
fallacy adopted. But the democratic
platform is, remember, Cleveland, and
democratic policy will go no farther
than he says
This is the truth that, in connection
with the silver issue, makes his choice
the fatal blunder of the democracy.
Cleveland has this above lesser poll
ticians, that he stands firm to his con-
victions. He is against bi-metallism.
His letter on silver, read at the Cooper
hall meeting, is the policy he will insist
on maintaining. In this the leaders Of
the democracy are with him. They
have no use for the free silver issue
The platform declaration is o subter-
tuge that lacks even cunning. It will
deceive no one.-Economist.

The FARMERS SIDE.
" Where we are, how we got here,
and the Way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
= q. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
12no, cloth

There Is q demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest
lie gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In clear forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion OF The WAY OUT,
which is the fullest and most author tative pres
entation Of the aims and views OF the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale of
crops, and other matters Of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought TO have at hand.
The FARMERS SIDE has lust been issued,
and makes a handsome and substantial book
OF $50 pages We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
fishers price. The book may be obtained at

The Pious Russian.

The Russian is very religious man
Whenever he leaves his cottage or enters
1t be will bow before the image of a
saint that invariably has it's place in a
corner at the window, and before which
q small lamp is constantly burning
Never will he touch any food or drink
uutil he has made the sign of the holy
cross; that takes the place of pra,l
and is not done without thinking Of the
Creator.
'sProm1si e."
The silver plank is ingenious as well
as ingenious. 1t can be construed as
promising something to the advocates
of free coinage, as assuring something
of benefit to the silver interests. r
calls for the coinage of gold and silver
on equal terms, but insists that the
ratio between them must be definitely
established by international agreement.
Thus justification for doing nothing in
favor OF silver can easily be found

The Duchess of Marlborough Loses Hus-
band and Fortune.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Duke OF MARI
borough was found dead in bed at Blen-
helm place this morning.
The duke recently seemed to have
been in better health than usual. All
summer he worked hard over tele-
phone scheme and other ventures in the
city.
When the duchess, formerly Mrs.
Hammersly of New York, came to
England after her marriage, she found
Blenheim palace in most dilapidated
condition. All the expenses OF repair
ing it were met by the duchess, who
spent in this way an enormous
amount of the Hammersly money. Now
all this is lost to her, as the palace be.
comes the property of the dukes son by
his first wife, who hitherto has been
known as the marquis of Landlord. 1t
is probable that when the new duke
takessup his residence at Blenheim pal
ace. he will be accompanied by his
mother, with whom he has lived since
her divorce. In this event it will read
lily be seen that the duchess will not
have the satisfaction Of living at the
palace she has gone to such an expense
to improve. The city residence of the
duke will also pass to the heir.

STAMBOUL INCREASES HIS SPEED
The Great Stallion Tr0ts a Mile
in 2:08.
He Again Holds the Record for
Horses of His Glass.
Mebsn Thinks He Can Further Reduce
His Mark and Will Give Him An
other Trial Next
Saturday.

BY the Associated Press,l
STOCKTON, Nov. 9.-Stamboul had the
worlds stallion record at 2:OS1a for III
days, until the eastern horse, Kremlin,
went mile in 2:0S1a, last Saturday.
Today Walter Maben drove the great
California stallion mile in 2:OS nat,
winning the record again, and showing
that he can hold it. The day was fine
and the horse was never in better con-
dition.
The stallion never went away prettier,
making the first quarter in 3214 seconds,
and increased his speed after passing the
post, going the second quarter in 3Os4
seconds, making the half mile 1:O3.
The third quarter was little slower, 33
seconds, making the three-quarters of
a mile in :S6. He kept on bit faster,
coming the last quarter strong and
game, without the whip, in 80 seconds,
making the mile in 2 :0S, three watches
agreeing. Maben was cheered and con-
graduated by the crowd.
Maben wanted to start the horse again
Saturday, as he shows speed to make
peter mile, and is in perfect condition.
Guide, by Director, made 2:161a.
Wood, the great 4.year-old, by Stein
way, was driven by Ed Lafferty to beat
his mark, 2:07, and made the same
time. His quarters were 3214, :o4,
1864, 2:07.
His last quarter was the best of the
mile, 30A seconds.
Truman wac started against his rec
ord, 2l2, but acted rank and was not
driven the mile out.

Butte's Hermit NIiser.

In the western part of town and near
the village of Burlington there is a
strange character who excites no end of
comment by his peculiar actions. He is
the owner or leaser of mine, the shaft
of which is about fifty feet in depth.
This strange individual works the mine
all by himself, and to the people whom
he meets he is an enigma. He stead
fastly refuses to be interviewed, and
although prospectors on neighboring
mines have made repeated efforts to
even get a salutation from him they
have signally failed.
Every morning as regular as clock
work he descends into the mine by
means of the ladder, and remains there
until evening. Occasionally he is seen
to hoist bucket of waste, and it is pre-
sumed that this action is made neces-
sary by the fact that he is driving a
crosscut single handed and alone, and
gets cramped for want of room.
But the most peculiar thing in con-
nection with this singular man is his
manner of working. Every two weeks
he changes shifts and works during the
nighttime for two weeks, to change at
the end of that time to two weeks day
shift. Some of the miners who were in
that locality believe that the man is an
old time miner who has become SO accus-
toned to working two weeks night and
two weeks day that .e cannot overcome
the habit.-Butte Inler Mountain.

A Giant Human Hand.

Upon the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girar1 avenue, stands a
strikingly curious tree. which attracts
the attention of every passerby. 1t
stands just in front Of stable yard, and
the employees of the place say that
dozens of people come to them every
week and make remarks or ask ques-
tions about the strange growth. From
the thickness of the trunk at the base
the tree is probably about forty years
old, but its branches and foliage are new
and fresh and look as though they We're
but the growth of year or two. The
trunk runs straight from the ground to
height of about fifteen feet.
Above this for short distance is a
thick globular mass of foliage, the leaves
appearing to grow directly out of the
the wood. Above this growth run up
three thick stalks or stumps, six or
eight feet high, also covered with a
dense, close mass of foliage When the
tree is viewed from the north side it
presents startling resemblance to a
giant human hand protruding from the
earth. The three big stumps at the top
represent the three middle fingers, and
upon either side Of these can easily be
seen confgurations of the surrounding
foliage which correspond to the little
! finger and thumb.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
a curious one. The tree was once full
grown and vigorous, but was attacked
by blight or some other disease, and the
dead trunk was pruned down to its pres
ent proportions, whereupon the present
new growth developed.-P Philadelphia
Inquirer.
