PERILOUS FISHING.
How q Lazy EnElishmnn Was Cured OF

How Lazy EnSlishmnn Was Cured OF
His Desire for Easy Methods.
Misunderstanding = the killing of
fish by exploding dynamite bombs
under or upon the water, and then
gathering the stunned or killed fish
which are brought to the 5urface-is so
generally condemned that there will
not be much sympathy for the human
performer in the following tragedy,
recorded in some Of the English news
papers: ..'
4 man in Bidcford, in the southwest
crn part Of England, had q dog which.
lie had carefully trained to bring to him
whatever he had thrown into the water.
Early one morning CHS man went out
TO pond ncCr his place, carrying with
him q dynamite bomb with which he
intended to make . haul' Of the trout
in The pond. Ec lighted tho fuse, and
threw the bomb into the water.
Unluckily he had either failed to
notice CT else had forgotten that his
dog followed him. On the instant tho
dog spr&ng into tho water, SWAN 10 tho
floating bomb, seized it and brought 1t
ashore, 10 place 1t at his masters feet.
The 1aan tried to command tho dog to
showed the excellence Of his training by
clinging to it and rapidly approaching
the shore.
Then the lazy fisherman took to his
heels. The dog came ashore and followed
him III a moro rapid rate than tho man
could run, the dynamite stIll in it's
mouth and the fuse burning.
1t q wild race for = high wall not far
ayvcy. The doc gained every instant.
The man was in despair, for he know
the bomb would explode presently with
nnr1crouG force. He rcochcd The wall,
and scrambled over il just in time, for
at that instant, as the dog came to the
foot Of The wall, the dynamite ex-
plcdcd.
The unfortunate dog was blown to
atoms, but the man escaped with d Sc
wore shaking up and q disposition to
fish in the future with o hook and line.

Cohcs,vo Properties OF Gold.

People scam to wonder why dentists
use gold in tilling teeth, said practical
dentist, recently. As is we'll known,
silver would resist the acids found in
the mouth quite rs we'll, and I have
been asked ct least twenty times why
! did not use silver. If those who are
30 arSious to cast aspcrstons on the
dentists would only study mctallurgy
they would find that tho reason we
employ only gold is that it is the
only metal that will weld while cold.
Silver will not do so, nor will anything
else. The cohesive properties of per
fcctiy smooth md clear gold are aston
ishiug. If you talse n sheet of gold
fol- and let it fall upon another, both
will BIZ SO firmly joined that it will be
impossible to separate them. 1t h this
property that makes gold so valuable
to dentists and not the desire to in
crease bills. ....."

THE ANNEXATION OF UTAH.

In answer to request to state his
views on the annexation of Utah, Sena.
tor Stewart writes as follows to the Vir-
GINA Chronicle: "You ask my opinion
as to the advisability of annexing Utah
and Nevada. | have no doubt il the PEG.
pie Of Nevada and Utah thought so, it
would be TO their mutual advantage to
consolidate and make good Statei but
/ have refrained from taking any move
in the matter until l am advised as to
what my constituents want. l am not
going to betray them or take any snAp
judgment. The proposition was suggest.
ed to me when first arrived last Decem-
Der. / then refused to discuss the ques.
ton until the arrival of Senator Jones,
or make any answer to inquiries as to my
opinion. After his arrival, / found him
firmly of the opinion that it was for the
highest benefit of Nevada to join with
Utah, but am not aware that he pro.
posed any action not agreeable to the
people Of Nevada.
The newspapers have taken great lib.
erty with our names, and have been
discussing the question pro and con in q
very lively manner. I have refrainsd
from saying anything or writing any
letters on the subject, because desired
that there should be free expression Of

discourages emigration, and prevents the

price of land in every part Of Nevada il
we could have strong and powerful

is the opinion of my colleague.
While we both believe that it would

ple who elected u.s."

WALKING LEADS TO HE'LL u

The people of Stockton, Gala, are in
rage and have held an indignation meet
ing composed of "men only" denouncipg
the Rev. Ellsworth, q minister OF San
Francisco, because Of sensational and
scandalous statements made in a sermon
on dancing at revival meetingat Stock.
ton the other evening. 1t was strongly
intimated that coat of tar and feathers
would ornament the reverend gentleman
should he again show mp in town. Mr..
Ellsworth, being interviewed in San
Francisco about the sermon, said: II

fallen women have met recently l79
owed their fall from virtue to round
dancing. And that's the truth. They
have told me the stories of their shame.
The ITO alluded to at Stocktoa might

these women are now inmates of houses

SHORTAGE OF BEEF CATTLE.

The Silver Stock Journal says that
from all quarters comes the cry OF an
actual shortage of beef cattle, and the
idea is rapidly gaining wide prevalence
that before the year closes beef values
will be greatly advanced. There is good
ground for this idea in that the west, the
great range area, is almost depleted Of
its she herds, and the future output Of
beef steers must come very largely from
the importations Of southern cattle.
Unfortunately the south has Of late
caught the prevailing idea that it did
not pay to breed cattle, and the great she
herds of Texas and New Mexico have
been decimated by the spaying of heifers
and the shipment of cows until the
supply of young steers is really below
the demand. Beef values will advance
for three years if there is any dependence
to be placed in the shadows that are cast
before. but there will be no famine, as
some Of our friends pretend to believe.
This is good time to hold on" to your
cattle and increase the size Of your herd
by all legitimate means. Keep out Of
debt, but get all the cattle you can pay
for and properly take care Of.
The Northwestern Live Stock journal
says that the prospects for the cattle
raisers Of the country continue to i'm
prove, and the backbone of those WHIT
have "stayed" is commencing to show
signs Of stifening.

IT is asserted that the break between
President Cleveland and ex.Speaker

it would result in bringing forward now
candidate for the speakership Of the
House. In opposition to Crisp, and back.
ed by all the influence Of the administra.
ton, has been patched up by the admin.
istratiou by an extra heavy dose Of
humble pie to Crisp. 1t was not. how.
ever, forced upon him. but he went to
the White House and asked for it.
Under this agreement. which is much
more hambling to Mr., Crisp than the one
made In New York just before the meet
ing Of the last session Of Congress. the
Georgian is to be elected Speaker Of the
House again and to draw the salary and
perform the routine duties Of the position,
but the real authority is to be exercised
by Mr.. Cleveland, who has already dc.
termined that Mr.. Springer. chairman Of

Holman, chairman Of the Appropriation
committee, shall not again be placed at
the heads Of those committees.

TIE RIGHTS OF LABOR.

Judge Kicks Of the United States cir
cult court OF Ohio fined James Lemon, a
striking Lake Shore engineer, for con-
tempt OF court. The engineer, in obe-
dience TO the instructions OF his attor-
neys, refused to pay the fine and he has
been arrested and is now in custody of
the court. His attorneys have applied
to the supreme court OF the United States
for writ of habeas corpus. and the petit
ton will be heard as soon as possible.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, will fight the matter to the end,
and no expense will be spared. The
fnsl decision will be Of vital Importance
not only to the brotherhood. but to other
labor organizations. 10 New York last
week one Of the COURTS issued tempo
rsry injunction against the American
Federation Of Labor prohibiting it from
issuing boycott notices against the Cloth
ing Manufacturers Association. The
supreme court OF the State was asked by
the association to issue permanent in.
junction against the labor federation, bu.
it not only refused. but dissolved the tenn
porary injunction. Judge Barrett said
it seemed to him that the plaintiffs were
fundamentally wrong in their form Of ac-
ton. There was combination on both
sides. 1--WE have" said he, "what
amounts to substantially mercantile
warfare. On one side were number Of
men with immense capital and on the
other number Of men with no capital.
Each side seemed able to take care Of
itself and q court of equity could keep
its hands of. as both parties were just
in such position that they must keep
within the law. They were evidently at
arms length, and if one came into court
and asked to have the other restrained it
looked very much like one party striking
below the belt" The legal points in.
volved in this case were almost identical
with those in the Lake Shore case
against the engineers. As the Supreme
court OF New York is composed of some
Of the ablest jurists in the country, its
opinion may be considered as decisive,
and one that will not be overruled by the
United States supreme court.

THE FUTURE or PARTIES.

Senator Sherman is reported to have
said, in speaking Of the future
Of the present political parties in
this country, that in his opinion the
death.knell Of the Republican party had
been sounded. THE future Of the Dem
ocratio party is still undetermined, but
the mission Of the Republican party has
been accomplished, and its overwhelm'
ing defeat last fall marks its complete
and final overthrow. And ex-senator
ingalls, says that il the Democratic party
/, not able to satisfy the people it will
be hurled from power in 1896, as the Re.
publican party was in 1892. He believes
that "both parties will have to abandon
their present issues and take up legisla.
ton affecting social and industrial condi.
tions, sneh as the tariff. the money ques.
ton, monopolies. trusts and corporations;
that the people Of the North have de-
cidcd to let the Southerners take care Of
the negro in their own way. We shall
have no more force bills" Probably no
other two men in the country are more
accou ntable for the defeat Of the Repub.
lican party than those above quoted
Sherman by his infamous course
on silver and ingalls, by his cranky op.
position TO the wishes Of the people whom
hs was elected to represent The latter
wa. relegated to the ranks by the people
Of Kansas some time ago. and the former
will be buried politically when his present
term 10 the Senate expires, his name
to be used only in connection with
