THE TENDENCY OF The THING.

Since the Popuist party came into
power there have been many laws OPEN
ly trampled spon by its officials. threats
of revolution indulged in, and much in
subordination generally. Over at the
penitentiary the convicts are editing and
publishing a Populist organ within the
walls of the prison in which the Repub-
lican party is regularly denouRced. A
short time since these convicts organized
q revolt or something CT that kind and
the warden has bought some high priced
blood hounds for emergencies. The
Populistic idea evidently is that the poor
fellows who got into the penitentiary
from stress of untoward circumstances
ought to be turned out and at least half
of the Republican party imprisoned in
their places. The most numerous of all
dwellings acts have been the signing
of pardons for men who were put into
the states prison for crime under Re-
publican administration.

go at certain time of year. You
see them flying over your house and

sands in one direction, towards the
north. This goes on for six weeks or
two months, and then they all disap-
pear. Once, when travelling with my
sister in the north of the island, we
came to lonely station, and while
breakfast was being prepared we went
for walk in the jungle. When we
got about two hundred yards in we
heard curious sound, like soft, low,
continuous whistle. 1t is never over
safe to go too far into Jungle, and
strange sounds are apt to make you
hesitate for a moment. i asked nv
sister to stay behind, and crawlcd
slowly on in the direction whence the
sound proceeded, and there, in an
opening in the jungle, found myself
surrounded by one solid mass of
brown and yellow butterflies. They
were assembled By the hundreds and
thousands over large square, and
ten feet high from the ground. So
dense was this futtering mass of in
sects that you could have taken them
by arrnfuls had you been so minded

Since it is semi-officialiy announced
that President Cleveland has lost heavily,
through bad investments, since the be-
ginning of his second term, and that his
present wealth will not exceed $3.50, 900,
it is in order for a popular subscription
to be started in order to prevent his be-
coming pauperized and public charge.
His $50, ,000-a-year salary is barely enough
TO meet his current expenses, and his en-
tire time being taken up with the affairs
of the nation, he has no opportunity to
even look after and protect his private
interests.
