trades Mr. Megary Of the large furni.
ture house, has announced that Monday.
the l9th, was the busiest day in our
career. Croakers and calamity -howlers, "
he says, "must 60 to the rear" We
imagine, if the truth were known, that
many other merchants are doing a more
profitable and safer. IL not a larger
business now, than ever before. "Croakers
and calamity howlers" are as likely to be
mistaken as any men. The cheerful and
buoyant merchant is more likely to do
profitable business than the oroa5er. He

TAXING charge Of the government
thirty years ago, the Republicans found
this country the second maritime power
in the world; they leave Office now with
a deficit in the Treasury, an insufficient
revenue and maritime position that is
ridiculous in comparison to the small
nations Of Europe, and a humiliation to
our patriotism.

The piano was placed between the mantel
and the window, the back toward the
fireplace and quite out in the room.
The straight back was covered with old
gold silk. laid on in straight, lengthwise
folds. A bench or settle. with end arms,
but no back, was drawn across it and
provided with fiat seat cushion of old
gold corduroy and two pillows covered
with the same material. Between piano
and fireplace, in a position to throw its
rays on the music rack, stood piano
lamp with shade of old gold chiffon,
and at the other end palm was grow
ing in jar of dull japanese effect.

further protected at the opposite side by

an oblique angle with door space, was
lately intruded upon there lounged in it

his wife struck scattering chords and

certificates by United St:tes Consuls
upon voluntary sppli' alton of immi-

In addition to those persons excluded

and persons blind or otherwise physi lilly

FOR the exclusion OF persons belonging
TO societies justifying the unlawful and

This provision, of course, applies to

Life OF an italian sipnaIman.

A signalman in Italy has remarkably
easy time of it in comparison with his
British brethren. This is of course part
ly due to the greater leisureliness of rail-
way traffic in the peninsula. but is partly
also the outcome of the conditions under
which he is required or permitted to ply
his calling. He is always married-if
he were bachelor he would not be EN-
ployed-and his little cabin beside the
railway is also his home. He is free
during the daytime. at least, to engage
in any other occupation he may desire.
When train passes his wife puts on his
hat-an official covering-and goes out
to give the necessary signal with the
flag. The wages amount to about a
franc and a half day.-London Tit-Bits.

PUBLIC OPINION.

"RE7CBLICAN EEoRGANIZATIoN."
Senator Dolph IA Norh Anne 'icah IL Feyiew.
There has been some (, since the
result Of the late Presidential election
became Known, concerning the necessity
for a reorganization of the Republican
party. Just what is meant by reorgani-
zation is not clear. 1t is only proposed
that changes shall be made in the
method OF conducting political cam
paigns, IN order 10 secu Z better can
vass and more accurate Information as
TO the political affiliations or preferences
of electors to bring those who are tenn
pararilv charged with the management
of TIE campaign and the party leaders
into touch with the masses, and to pro-
vide mo c effective means for reaching
the indi fi,iual voter, no one wilt question
the necessity. II, again, by the reor-
ganiZation OF tue Republican party is
meant tne abandonment of those prip-
ciples o. the party which are supposed
to have met with popular dlsapproval,
such a reorganization is impossible. 1t
would inFoive a flal dissolution of the
party. Ac7 party which can adopt new
principles to meet every chance emer-
gency, and which bas no higher aim
than public plunder, is rot worthy to
receive, and csn not hope long to retain,
the support of rhat portion OF the coun-
try withodt which no party can succeed.
1t mas been gravely suggested that tue
Republican party should seek success
by an abandonment or modification of
its position upon tie tariff, by the
adoption OF some modified fnsncifl
proposition which would SATISFY sup
posed popular demand, or by formal
declaration against Federal control of
Federal elections. The Republican
party must look for success in The
triumph of its principles. and not by
trimming it sails TO catch every popular
breeze.

where Crocodiie, Are foupd.

Crocodiles are found in Africa, Asia,
the tropical parts Of Australia, Central
America and the West Indies, while the
alligators, with the exception of one spe-
cies discovered some few years since in
China, are found only in America. They
are all of them terribly destructive crea-
lures. The young feed principally on
fish. but as they grow larger they attack
every animal that they can overcome,
dragging their prey into the water and
SO drowning it. 1t has been said that
more people are killed bycrocodiles than
by any other of the wild beasts of Africa.
