Deadly Venom.

Il noticed some time ago an &C
count in the GlObe-DemOcrat of a
Georgia woman leaving her three
little children in the house, going to
a spring a few yards distant for a
pail of water, and returning to find
them dead from the effects of rat
tlesnake's bite" said DR.. E. c. Heida.
"Such sudden deaths from snake-bite
had never come under my Observa-
ton, and l investigated the case. l
found the account quite correct.
Two of the children must have fallen
as though struck by lightning, while
the other lived less than minute.
1t was certainly an exceptional case,
but the bite of a rattlesnake seldom
acts twice alike. 1t may be very
poisonous or almost harmless. If
the snake has exhausted its venom
by biting something else just before
he strikes you, he may set his fangs
into you half dozen times without
doing much damage; but if he has a
full complement of venom and man-
ages to inject it into vein, you
might just as well say your prayers,
and be almighty quick about it, too.
There is nothing known to science
that can save you"

Where the Blame Belongs.

If the pension list is large, says the
New York Press, it should be remem-
bered that but for the war against
the Union there would have been no
pension list worth speaking of. The
Government of the United States did
not enlist multitudeS of soldiers and
expend vast amounts of treasure and
hundreds of thousands of valuable
lives in order to make long pension
list. All this expense and blOodshed
were incurred to subdue an attempt
tc destroy the nation. They were in
curred-to quote the language Of
Abraham LincOln-in order that "a
government of the people, for the
people and by the people should not
perish from the earth"
Was the price a great one to pay
for the life Of the Republic? Let
those who think so blame those who
assaulted, and not those who defended
and saved the life of the Republic.

The Substitute for Glass.

The substitute for glass brought to
notice some time ago by a manufac-
turer in Vienna. Austria, observes a
writer in the New York Sun, is pro-
nounced a practicable thing, likely to
be introduced as valuable for certain
purposes. The article is produced by
dissolving from four to eight parts OF
collodion wool in about 100 parts by
weight of ether or alcohol or acetic
either, and with this are intimately
combined from 2 to per cent. OF
castor oil, and to 10 per cent OF
rosin or Canada balsam. This COM
pound, when poured upon glass
plate and subjected to the drying ac-
ton of a current of air Of about 80
degrees Cent, solidifies in a compare
lively short time into transparent
glass-like sheet or plate, the thick
ness of which may be regulated as
required. The sheet or plate so OBJ
tanned has substantially the same
properties as glass resisting the action
of salts and alkalies and of dilute
acids, and like glass is transparent
and has no smell. Again, it is said
to be pliable Or flexible and infrangi-
bic to great degree, while its in
flammability is much less than that
of the collodion substitutes. Any
desired color may be impaired to the
compound by admixture of the neces-
sary pigment, the latter to be solu-
BILE in the solvent used in the prepa-
ration of the compound, if incOr-
porated Herewith; but color may be
impaired by surface application, ami
line dyes being employed, and thus
the sheets may be used in lieu of
stained glass.

Reciprocity Lives.

Democratic victory has not yet
checked the growth of reciprocity. A
permanent treaty superseded on Nov.
% the temporary arrangements pre-
viously governing our trade with the
republic Of Salvador. Our export
trade with that country has grown
rapidly under these reciprocal ar
rangements. In 1890 we sold to it
1886, 231 worth of domestic products.
In 1892 the figures reached Sl,274,-
OBJ. Nevertheless, there was in this
latter year trade balance against
us Of s1,036, 434, which undoubtedly
will be largely reduced, if not actu-
ally reversed, provided the Demo-
Gratis curb their desire to smash our
reciprocity system and allow the new
treaty to accomplish its work.

laundering for the Sugar Tax.

There is no doubt whatever shat if
the dominant Southern faction of the
Democracy can get any pretext what
ever they will restore the tariff on
sugar and speedily make the blessings
Of the Democratic rule appreciated at
every breakfast table throughout the
land. Prominent Democrats have
already declared themselves in favor
of reviving the sugar tariff, and it
will undoubtedly be attempted.
With free wool and a tariff on
sugar the farmers of the West and
the Pacific slope will have a chance
to understand just what an alliance
with the solid South means for them
and for their interests.

Mr.. Cleveland's Mistake.

With an assumption OF superior
virtue which is thoroughly character
istic Mr.. Cleveland announces that
he is disguised with Democratic
Office-seekers. There is no reason or
decency," he pompously declares, lin
my being overwhelmed with such
matters at this time" In order to
get away from the clamorous de-
mands of the faithful the President
elect has left town and fled to a place
where he fondly hopes to be out of
the reach of those who elected him.
Mr.. Cleveland should not be too
severe upon the Democratic brethren
who want offices. He should bear in
mind the famous axiom that defines
Democracy as an organized appe-
tite;" and he should recOllect that
most of his own time for some years
past has been spent either in the en-
joyment of offices or in the pursuit
thereof. Mr.. Cleveland's record as
Sheriff, Mayor. Governor and Presi-
dent does not entitle him to sheer at
other Democrats equally anxious for
place and power, but less fortunate
than he has been in getting them.
1t will be remembered that eight
years ago Mr.. Cleveland solemnly an
nounced that second terms for Presi-
dents were pernicious and full of dan
ger to the republic. Yet when 1888
came he was found using the Federal
machine for all it was worth to pro-
cure his own nomination for second
term; and when the people refused to
have him, he at once began to lay
plans for a third nomination. 1t does
not become President-elect who, as
a candidate, made complete and hui
initiating surrender to the criminal
conspiracy of Tammany Hall in order
to gain the support Of its bosses, to
speak scornfully Of his fellow-Demo-
Gratis.
1t is true that Mr.. Cleveland has
never been accused of excessive graft
tude. Nobody expects him to mani
fest irrepressible zeal in handing
around good things to the persons to
whose efforts his present success is
due. But it would be decidedly more
prudent if he should refrain from
open expressions of contempt for the
rank and file of his party because
they are hungry for the spells. The
American people have tolerably
keen perception of hypocrisy.

Two Factions.


1t is very evident that the leaders
of the Democratic party are divided
into two factions regarding the tariff.
The smaller but more potential ele-
ment, chiefly in the East. composed
of men like Whitney, Senators Cor
man, Brice, and Mcpherson of New
Jersey, Gov. Flower, in short, the
element which is in touch with the
business and enterprise Of the coun-
try, is opposed to any general tariff
legislation. If they could have their
way they would leave the Mckinley
law very much as it is. Despite his
professions to the contrary. Mr..
Cleveland is likely to share the opin-
ions Of this financially powerful ele-
ment and of the conservatives of
Wall street, who have always con-
trOlled him. The other faction, which
is much the larger, has convinced it.
elf that protective tariff is great
wrong, and that the mass Of the peo-
pie are hostile to it. Those who
make up this element are the dema-
gogues and the advocates of crude
theories, the solid South Democrat,
who is hostile to manufacturing
enterprises because he is jealous of
the greater prosperity Of the North,
the general party Organ-grinder in
the West and South, the Congress
men who have been demanding free
silver coinage while all intelligent
business men are against it, and,
above all, that narrow and malignant
type of Democrat who thinks that to
be Democrat he must oppose every
Republican measure. In Congress
they are the Millses, the Bynums, the
BANDS, the Breckinridges. and the
Jerry Simpsons. Malignant preju-
dice takes the place of intelligent
conviction in their intellectual make
up. That prejudice has arrayed
them against protection and in favor
of free trade or revenue tariff.
They have made their constituents
believe in an actual baron tariff
robber and Republican plutocracy
under the Mckinley law. Strange
as it may seem, some of them believe
this nonsense. They have pledged
themselves to overthrow the Mckin-
ley law. They will do it if they can.
What will be the outcome: There
could be no question if it was only
one Of repeating the Mckinley law,
but since it involves the devising of a
substitute the matter is in grave
doubt. The solid South and the bit
ter demagogues of the West could
carry all before them if they could
agree upon a tariff bill, but they can
not unless they take up some meas
ure like the Mills bill. AS it stands
the free-traders of the South and
West have the numbers, but the
Whitneys, the Germans, and the
East have the brains. Uncertainty
is The result, and nothing is worse
than uncertainty for the business and
industry of the country.-Indian-
apOlis Journal.

Whitney's Sensible Plan.

Whitney's tariff commission idea
is not so bad. OF course it is not
what the Democratic platform prom
iSed and what the free-traders
thought they were going to get: but
it must be conceded that nOn-par-
tisan commission would be likely to
handle the subject of the revision of
the tariff with more intelligence than
Democratic Congress. Then, too,
it would postpone the possibility of a
change in the tariff schedules for at
least year or year and a half, and
possibly longer, and this would give
business men in the industries likely
to be affected a chance to breathe.
If the Democrats decide upon this
policy it will be understood that they
were Influenced by considerations
having reference to the impractical
bility of free trade or anti-tariff
legislation of the Mills bill sort, and
to the hOllowneSs of the pretensiOns
upon which the Democratic party
conducted its multiplication crusade.
AS far as Mr.. Whitney is concerned,
he can take this course with perfect
consistency, for he was anxious to
avoid the multiplication issue, and
the free-trade plank of the Demo-
cratic platform was adopted in oppo-
sition to his advice.
People of all parties would rejoice
at the adoption of Mr.. Whitney's
plan, for, desirable as it would be to
convince the free-trade fanatics of
their folly, it would be too expensive
to bring ruin upon the country for
the sake of conveying an object les

The Democratic Dilemma.

The talk now among Democrats is
of tariff commission. Why tariff
commission? Its only object could
be to see where the tariff may be re-
duced without injuring the industries
Of the country-Or rather without in
juring the Democratic party. But
this means that protection to our in
dustries is to be continued. The
Democratic party has declared that
protection is unconstitutional. -

Nothing to Be Ashamed Of.

1t is idle to fight ever a battle that
has been lost, or to criticise the Tao
tics which have been adopted. The
Republicans made a straightforward,
courageous fight for principles. They
have no cause to be ashamed of their
campaign. The social unrest of the
country was against them. and they
were defeated.-New York Tribune.

Worse than Bad Politics.

A well-known Republican is quoted
as saying that it would be bad poll
tics" for the Senate to pass any OF
the measures undermining the Nc
Einley law which have been adopted
by the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives.
1t would be worse than bad poll
tics. 1t would be cOwardly. dishon-
orable, treacherous politics. 1t would
be playing into the hands of the
Democracy and doing the work which
they are afraid to undertake. 1t
would he giving them an opportunity
two years hence and four years hence
to extenuate the results of blunder-
ingllegislation with the plea of Re-
publican acquiescence.
No-not politics alone, but COM
mon sense, dignity and decency de-
mand that the Republican Senate
shall not assume Democratic respon-
sibilities. But. as the Press has said
before, even if Senators should be
found sufficiently craven and lacking
in backbone and self respect as to
surrender their principles, the nation
has for Chief Magistrate a man who
has never faltered in maintaining his
convictions as citizen or soldier. in
war or in peace.
Does any Democrat expect the Re
publicans to be less faithful to the
creed Of their party than the Demo
Gratis were to theirs? Four years ago
the Democratic Congress had passed
the Mills tariff bill, making radical
reductions in the tariff. They had
appealed to the country to sustain
them and were defeated. One month
after President Harrison's election
the defeated party met in the last
session of the Fifty-secOnd Congress.
Did any representative Democrat
then suggest that in view of the
popular verdict it was the duty of
the Democratic majority in the House
to go over, horse, foot and dragons,
to the Republican side, and frame
and pass protective tariff laws? So
preposterous thing was not thought
of by any Democrat or suggested by
any Republican.
Yet this is the exact course now
recommended to Republican Senators
BY the free traders. We do not be-
lieve that a single Republican Sena-
tor worthy of his place will take
counsel of the enemy, or wish to
share the responsibility of the legis-
latiOn to which the Democratic party
is committed Pioneer Press.
