H0BOKEN'S ROUSER.
Splendid Meeting at Ross's Theatre
Addressed by Senator
Mcpherson.

The Democratic mass meeting at Ross's
Hoboken Theatre last night was one of
the best held during the campaign. The
pretty theatre was crowded from pit to
dome and the boxes were occupied by a
number of ladies. On the stage were up
wards of a hundred of the leading pro-
fessional and business men of the city.
Mayor Edward r. Stanton called the
meeting to order at eight O'Clock and in
troduced as permanent chairman, Judge
Hoffman. Judge Hoffman was loudly
cheer ed as he stepped forward. A num-
Der of the students of Stevens Institute
occupied front seats in the auditorium. and
their college cry ''Rah, Rah, Rah, Cleve-
land" was frequently heard during the
evening.
Judge Hoffman said he thought it
hardly necessary TO bold Democratic
mass meetings in Hoboken, as the Demo-
cratic majority in the city equalled the
Republican vote. 1t was his first speech
IN English during the campaign as
he had been addressing German audi
ences, and he brought the assurance to
the voters of Hoboken that 80 per cent. of
the Germans from Maine TO California
would cast their votes for Cleveland. He
then introduced Senator John r. Nc
Pherson, who was raptuously applauded.
MCPHERSON ON DEMOCRACY.
The Senator entered into the history of
the Democratic.party, saying other parties
had lived and died, but the principles of
the Democratic party still lived. He paid
a glowing tribute to Grover Cleveland
aud Judge Werts, saying both had be en-
found true and steadfasg Democrats, who
believed ''public Office was a public
trust"
He then went into history of the tariff
question. He denied that the Democratic
party was free trade party. He COM
pared the party of Lincoln with that of
The Republican party of today.
In the days of Washington. when,
II at any time, industries
teen per cent. protection. and today there
was sixty per Cent. protection. Protection
today had become engulfed In MONOPOLY
and the people of the United States were
protesting against it. Referring to PEN
sions, the Senator said S150.0O0 600 per
year was spent for pensions. So long
as there was worthy soldier,
it would never be abated by either party.
The Democratic party was disposed to see
the pension roll a roll of honor to gallant
ana brave soldiers, but held that it should
be purged of all bounty jumpers and
sculkers.
hctuIuluS 10 tue question OIL tn0 IarlH,
the Senator said that in 1860 the exDorts
and imports were respectively $780, GEO.
600. This was under a protective tariff.
Tea and coffee were free. Neither raw
materials nor the tools of workiugmen
were taxed This was the Democratic
idea and it is the idea the party is con-
tending for today.

effect till 1889, the rate Of duty in alpaca

"In 1876 the Republican party stole the
Presidency and now they are at the same
trick again. Who is backing them In
their work If monopolists are not? tell

cans TO hear the brags of that party that

ocrats established q tariff system. The
first tariff measure adopted by Americans
was embodied in a bill in 1916. presented
by Thomss Jefferson to foster American
industries. 1t is Democratic measure;
A measure by which revenue to support
the general govei nment is raised at the
custom Houses. 1t is not fixed for the
purpose it is now being put to, viz:-To
rob our poor people. The Democratic
party has never made any terms with
capital"
INFAMOUS MEASURES.
Ex-Assemblymau John J. Matthews,
from The home of John kean, Jr., was the
next speaker. He said:-"The Mckinley
bill was one os the Republican
measures which was intended TO
deceive the American people. Fol-
lowing close upon its passage
was complete overthrow of the party.
1t gained no representation in the House
OF Representatives. The Republican
leaders ignore the sentiments of the
people, and are now pushing forward,
looking to the protection OF the capitalists
to the oppression of the poor people.
The Force bill is another of their infa-
nous measures, and I say now that if
they are returned to power a hundred
high tariff bills will follow until life is
made unbearable and honest work

he said, lis not free trade party. 1t
favored tariff for the purpose OF raising
sumcient funds to pay pensions and funds
necessary to manage the affairs of the
government economically.
Governor Albeit spoke on the necessity
of free raw material, claiming it would
give employment to more men. He de-
clared that no one but the capitalist had
been benefited by the Mckinley bill; that
the poor mechanic had not received one
dollar Increase in wages by it and, in
stead of prosperity, as the Republican
party claimed was the outcome, strikes
TO prevent a reduction of wages were
heard OF from all parts of the United
States.
He denounced the persons who had cir
culated reports that he was not in favor
OF the free school system rs falsifiers. He
declared that the Mckinley bill was
passed at the suggestion of manufacturers
OF Pennsylvania and olher States, who
contributed S400 COO in 1888 to put into the
election canvass to influence the voters
dishonesty. They demanded the passage
thus contributed. This year, he said,
one-half that sum had been contributed
to be used dishonesty, as it could not be
used otherwise. The sentiment of the
people, he said, could not be purchased
this time and tG would result in rolling
up large Democratic majority on elec-
tion DAY.
He denounced the Force bill and said
he would rather trust system that had
stood test of 100 years than that pro-
posed by John l. Davenport and Mr.. Dud-
ley.
He declared that the State banking sys-
tenn could give better security for its
bank notes than the silver certificates of
the United States. He said he coulu talk
on State issues. as he knew something
about the matter. He reviewed the vari-
Gus methods by which he had the State
tax removed, corporations Taxed. and a
debt OF S400 900 bearing per cent. interest
removed without being forced TO levy on
any individual.
He concluded by saying:-"Te1I your
Republican friends what we have done,
and if they say it is Abbettism, tell them
you are satisfied and want more OF it."

first Practical Uso of the GuiIIottne.

DR.. Guillotlne, when member OF
che French constituent assembly in
1889 proposed that all executions
should be by machine. That system.
he said, would be swifter and more
painless than the old system of de
capitatiOn by means of the sword or
AK. He was proceeding 10 describe a
contrivance of his own when he was
interrupted by shouts of laughter.
In less than two years, however his
ideas were adopted and incorporated
in the penal code. Dr. Antoine
Louis, Secretary to the Academy of
Surgeons, was requested to prepare a
memorandum on the subject of de-
decaritation and in his report he re-
commended the adoption of an in
strument almost identical in design
TO that suggested by DR.. Guillotine.
His report was accepted, and the con-
tract for constructing one of these
machines for each of the French de-
partments was given u a German
named Schmidt. 1t was tested re-
peatedly upon dead bodies in a hos
pital and was found TO work satisfac-
torily, On the 25th of April, 1892,
1t was used upon a criminal for the
first time, PelletieT, a notorious high
wayman, being the victim. At first
the machine was known as the
'LouiSette" or La Petite Louison, 8"
but it was not long before Guillotine
was given the unenviable honor of
having his name applied to it. The
old story that he suffered death by
means of the instrument he himself
invented has been shown to be false

A Curious Cave.

The cave temple, of KarH, India,
is rightly considered one of the
greatest wonders OF the world. This
ledge has been chiseled by human
hands from porphyry as hard as the
hardest flint. The cave is 124 feet
long, 40 feet broad, and 46 feet from
floor to ceiling. Before the entrance
t. the temple stands a monster stone
elephant, upon whose back is seated
a colossal goddess, all hewed from
one solid block OF stone. Like the
temple walls and the outside orna-
ments, every article of adorning
sculpture on the inside is hewcd
from the native rock.
There are aisles On each side
separated from the nave by octag-
onal pillars of stone. The capital
OF each pillar is crowned with two
kneeling elephants, on whose backs
are seated two figures, representing
the dvinities, to whom the temple
is dedicated. These figures are per-
feet, and of beautiful features, as,
indeed, are all the representations Of
deities and divinities in this peculiar
temple.
The responsiveness so characteristic
of modern Hindoo and Chinese
pagOdas is here wholly wanting
Each figure is true to life, or rather
to art, there being no mythical half
horse, half man, or beast birds de-
ptcted in this underground wonder
of karli. This wondrous under
ground pagoda or cave temple has
been a standing puzzle for the
learned archeolagists OF both Eu-
rope and Asia for the last twenty
five hundred years, and is as much
OF an enigma to-day as it was in the
time Of Confucius.

Idea-Trading z.

Ii two men, or a community OF
men, were to set about exchanging
goods and commodities right among
themselves, no matter how long they
traded, they would not get any rich

ing goods of less value than before

spent in trading. But with ideas it
is different. Ten men start out ex-
changing ideas, and although some
may have better ideas and more facts
than others, all are benefited by the
exchange; no one is in any whit the
poorer The time spent in swapping
is clear gain to every member OF
of the community taking part in it.
