The Size of the Sea.

There are not many people who,
if they were to be asked the ques-
tion, could tell the size of the salt
waters of the earth. The figures
are so great that they could only
say, with Dominic Sampson, "Pro-
digious!" And yet some interest
ing illustrations and comparisons
may be given as to: the size of the
sea, and here is simple one found
in "Golden Days"
The whole sea is composed of
the Atlantic and Pacific, the In
dian Ocean, the Arctic and Antarc-
tic seas and various smaller bodies
of water. 1t has an area of 14O,-
100000 square miles, and would
form circle of 1880 milas in
diameter.
The relative size of the areas of
the whole surface of the earth, of
the whole sea, of the Pacific and
of the Atlantic can be represented
by a silver dollar for the surface
of the earth, a half dollar for the
surface of the whole sea, q % cent
piece for the surface of the Pacific
and silver half dime for the sur
face Of the Atlantic.

THERE IS NO DEVIL NOWr''
Men don't believe in the devil now,

Men don't believe in the devil now, as
their fathers used to do;
They forced the door of the broadest
creed to let. his Majesty through;
There isn't poilt of his cloven foot,
or fiery dart from his bow,
To be found in earth or air to. day, for
the world has voted so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught
that palsies heart and brain
And loads the earth of each passing
year with hundred thousand slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land to-
day with the fiery breath of hell,
If the devil isn't and never was? Won't
somebody rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint,
and digs the pits for his feet?
Who sows the tares in the field of time
wherever God sows His wheat?
The devil is voted not to be, and Of
course the thing is true;
But who is doing the kind of work the
devil alone should do?
We are told that he does not go about
as roaring lion now;
But whom shall We hold responsible for
the everlasting row
70 be heard in home, in Church, in
State, to the earth's remotest bound,
If the devil, by unanimous vote,is
nowhere to be found?
Won't somebody step to the front, forth
with, and make his bow and show:
How the frauds and the crimes of the
day spring up-for we want to know
The devil was fairly voted out, and oe
course the devil is gone;
But simple people would like to know
who carries his business on?

CLEV VELAND FACES DEFEAT
The President Blundered WO-
fully in Handing the Cause OF
Silver Repeal.

President Cleveland is face to
face with defeat, overwh Ginning
and inevitable, and at the hands
of his own party. He may, and
probably will, call it treachery,
but others who look over the demo-
cratic field without prejudice and
who recall the attitude of many
dem ocratic leaders towards him
throughout his entire national
career, will appreciate the fact
that the antagonisms he has crea-
ted were too deep-rooted and too
many to be overcome. Mr.. Cleve-
land has never had any reason to
look to the influential democrats
in the Senate to heed his beck and
call on matters of party policy.
He has usually made up.h his mind
for himself and in his own way
and then endeavored to force
acquiescence in hisviews either by
the power of patronage or the
lachrymose howlings of his news
paper following; but the certain
result of such a policy cannot be
other than disastrous in the long
run. In President Cleveland's
case disaster has come sooner
than most people expected, but
not before it forced him to look to
the minority party in Congress to
carry out his views. Senator Cor
man declared publicly the other
day that never before in the his
tory of the country has any Presi-
dent ever gone to the opposition for
votes to sustain him; and yet on
the first great question over which
Cleveland and his party have ever
had complete control he de-
monstrates his utter incapacity to
govern or to shape policies.

Death in a Simple Medicine.

A seidlitz powder was probably
the cause of the death of Christine
Kroys, a pretty domestic, lately
employed in Brooklyn. Miss
Kroys, who was about twenty years
old, came from Germany some
time ago. Last Monday she COM
planned of headach. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Smith
went downstairs to make some in
quiry of Christine. At first she
saw nothing of the girl, but her
attention was soon attracted to The
dining-room closet. Here the girl
lay, face downward, on the floor.
She was unconscious, and was
breathing heavily. There was
blood on her lips, and Mrs. Smith
who was much frightened, sum-
moned DR.. William B. Waterman,
of No s22 Lafayette aveHue. His
efforts to restore the girl to con-
seriousness were unavailing, how
ever, and she died in a short time
On the dining-room table were
found the empty white and blue
papers Of a seidlitz powder, and
also a glass in which their con-
tents had apparently been mixed
with water. The ba.is of the
components of one portion of this
remedy is tartaric acid; of the
other; bicarbonate of soda and
Rochelle salts. These two when
emptied into water and poured
together from separate glasses,

was a lecture and his subsequent
action hreat of annihilation to
every democrat who hesitated to
fall into line for silver repeal,
when he should have remembered,
as Clark Howell, of the Atlanta
Constitution" says, that the
money plank of the democratic
convention was for free silver, and
that he, rather than his party, was
outside of democratic professions
and democratic purposes when he
insisted upon unconditional re-
peal.

facts to the political student.
We do not desire to impute any
selfish motives to Mr.. Cleveland or
to be a party to placing him in any
false light, and SO far as we are
concerned, we believe that the old
Democratic party is good enough
for the President, it is certainly

1T WAS TO BE EXPECTED.

"House bill No. t." his personal
measure, is as good as dead-not
only defeated, but miserably de-
feated and spurned by his own
party. Nor is it surprising that it
has met such all unhappy fate.
Those who have read these letters
Will recall that they have never
looked forward with much hope to
unconditional repeal, and have re-
peatedly insisted that no bill
would pass much before November
if at all. That prediction was
based on the opinions of those
who had unusual opportunities to
know what was going on behind
the farcical debate in the Senate,
and it has proven absolutely true.
The fact is that the moment Cleve-
lands message was read to Con-
gress last August it was regarded
by public men as unfortunate and
as sealing the fate of the silver
bill.
That message gave no demo-
crat not sharing his extreme views
an opportunity for honorable
surrender: He sought only un-
conditional capitulation by the
silver element in his party and
would be satisfied with nothing
less. Practically he arraigned
the democratic party as narrow
and vicious in it's tendencies and
started out to re-create it Oh what
he regarded as q broader, more
Gresham like basis.
There's where he blundered.
THwARTED HIS PARTY's PURPOSES.
Had Cleveland had tact and
adroitness, or had his first four
years made him used to political
methods and public life, the govern
ment's purchases of silver would
now be at an end, and some salts
factory law substituted for the
present one. Instead of that
however, he attempted to lead his
party away from its record, away
from it's pledges, and what is
more to the point, away from its
tendencies and desires, and that
too, despite every warning that he
would be beaten His message

He Could Not Spell Right.

Let US he careful with our spell
ing and phrasing. Heartrending
mistakes may be made through de-
fective photography and odd ex-
pressions. For instance:
A man living in the country
wrote to each of his friends in the
city:
"Deer friend, you air respect tably
invighted to 60 berrying with me
neckst Saterdy morning.
Yours, &C."
And when his friends came with
their tin pals and baskets, they
found that his wife was dead, and
that it was to attend her funeral

more such in South Corolina? I
should think not, for they are few
and far between. His great power
lies in presenting facts SO ne to ap-
peal to the sympathies and inter-
ests of men, arousing them to
action by their sense of justice as
well as their knowledge that they
cannot remain passive and them
selves escape. If he should come
into this region in campaign
none can donbt that he would
sway the multitudes.

President and Party.

Macon News.
Is it impossible that as Mr.. Eli
jah Halford predicted when Mr..
Cleveland was elected that the
President intended to formulate a
new political party out of the con-
servative elements of the two old
parties, after his own designs.
Mr.. Cleveland is an ambitious
man, he is a strong man and re-
markably independent in charac-
ter and spirit. There is no doubt
that he is desirous of identifying
himself, as closely and perma-
nently with his periods history as
possible.
He is without question The
greatest political leader since JEFF
ferson and would no doubt like5to
impress his political lndlVlduallty
and views upon the country in
manner similar to the great father
of Democracy in accordance with
the changed conditions and re-
quirements of the times.
This may be Mr.. ,Cleveland's in
tention, and itmay not. we are not
prepared to say, but of one thing
there is no question the present
political situation offers a field for
study and speculation. The Re-
publican party has been badly
worsted and is now little more than
wreck with no room for repairs,
and, thank God, none too soon.
The Democratic party, while its
platform is explicit and a perfect
